Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

"Haha, you're welcome."

Jiang Hua waved his hand and then began picking ginseng.

Ginseng, although inedible, is an extremely precious medicinal herb, especially helpful for cultivating martial arts skills.

However, Jiang Hua did not intend to use ginseng to enhance his abilities. He possessed a spiritual herb that could improve a cultivator's strength, but this herb had a strong medicinal effect.

The damage to a cultivator's physical body is also enormous, and once ginseng is ingested, the damage to the cultivator will more than double.

Therefore, Jiang Hua's goal is to use this ginseng to modify his physical body, making it stronger and thus increasing his combat power.

After all, a cultivator's physical body is the most important part, and that is absolutely beyond doubt.

Soon, Jiang Hua finished picking the ginseng and handed it to Qin Feng. Qin Feng carefully examined it and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, put it into his storage ring.

Afterwards, Jiang Hua and Qin Feng continued their search in other areas.

I'm trying to find some; if I happen to find any, I'll be rich!

However, Jiang Hua was just strolling around with Qin Feng without deliberately searching, since she didn't know what kind of place this was or what the legends were.

They need to be careful, lest they find something that isn't what they need, which would be a real loss.

Afterwards, Jiang Hua and Qin Feng walked slowly along the path for about five or six kilometers before stopping.

Because we saw another ginseng king.

Qin Feng immediately went to pick them happily, but for some reason Jiang Hua felt something was wrong.

Jiang Hua stood aside and observed carefully. Then, he discovered that there was a black mist on the ginseng king. This mist was gradually eroding the life force of the ginseng king, which was obviously about to die.

The ginseng king's exterior has begun to turn a grayish-brown color, and this grayish-brown hue is gradually seeping inwards. It seems that this ginseng king will not live much longer.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua frowned immediately, because he could see that the life force of this ginseng king was beginning to wane, but it was still persisting and refusing to give up.

Jiang Hua could clearly sense that if things continued like this, the ginseng king probably wouldn't last much longer. In the end, it would definitely die completely, and might even turn into a cloud of white powder and fall to the ground.

Jiang Hua felt a pang of regret. After all, this ginseng was very old and extremely rare. If it were destroyed like this, it would be a terrible waste.

However, now that he had seen the ginseng, Jiang Hua had no reason to hesitate. He took out his long knife and slashed fiercely at the ginseng.

In an instant, a clanging sound came from above the ginseng, which trembled violently and then began to struggle violently.

However, the strength of this struggle was far too weak, so it was futile and completely ineffective.

puff!

With a single slash, Jiang Hua's long knife sliced ​​the ginseng off completely.

Jiang Hua then put the ginseng away.

The next moment, a huge, jet-black snake suddenly burst forth from above the ginseng. This jet-black snake was over three or four meters long, its entire body pitch black, exuding a dense, eerie aura. It looked just like a venomous black snake, extremely terrifying.

Moreover, this jet-black snake exuded a strong, pungent stench that made one want to vomit.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng both frowned for a moment, but then, a smile couldn't help but appear on their faces.

Because both of them had already spotted the treasure on the large, jet-black snake.

This creature's skin was an eerie dark red, and its body was covered with numerous cracks, each covered with a thick layer of black scabs, as if it had been slashed by a sharp weapon. The wounds also emitted a foul stench.

This guy is definitely carrying deadly poison!
If it weren't for these wounds and scabs, Jiang Hua would never have believed that such a powerful creature existed in this world.

Moreover, this creature also had a very strong fishy odor, which even made people feel a little disgusted.

This guy's meat must be incredibly delicious!

Both Jiang Hua and Qin Feng had the same thought in their minds.

However, the two of them were slightly taken aback for a moment, and then gave a wry smile: "The things on this guy are really too tempting."

The bloodstains on this guy even had a foul stench.

Both Jiang Hua and Qin Feng felt an urge to vomit.

If it were an ordinary human being, they probably wouldn't have been able to endure it by now.

However, both of them had excellent composure, so they recovered after a brief moment of distraction.

Then, both Jiang Hua and Qin Feng turned their attention to the large, jet-black snake.

The body of this jet-black snake was much thicker than Jiang Hua had expected, and its scales were much denser. However, what attracted Jiang Hua and Qin Feng the most was the blood scabs on the snake's body. These scabs were covered with a thick layer of black scabs, which looked extremely terrifying.

Seeing these scabs, Jiang Hua and Qin Feng felt a strange excitement welling up inside them.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng stared intently at the blood scabs on the large, jet-black snake, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

This situation greatly surprised even the large, jet-black snake.

I don't know what's wrong with me?
It's astonishing that these two humans are so excited.

This is so strange.

And these two humans were not afraid of it at all.

Not only were they not afraid of it, but they also stared at its body with intense gaze.

However, this gaze did not pose any danger to the jet-black snake; on the contrary, it made it feel extremely comfortable—a feeling that was simply too pleasant. (End of Chapter)
