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

"laugh!"

After Jiang Hua's longsword pierced the venom, he did not hesitate at all and immediately thrust it into the body of the jet-black snake.

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, Jiang Hua's longsword pierced the belly of the black serpent, directly penetrating its skin.

After Jiang Hua's longsword pierced the belly of the jet-black serpent, it did not stop and continued to pierce deeper, disappearing into the serpent's intestines in the blink of an eye.

A shrill roar came from the mouth of the jet-black serpent, and then streams of black liquid began to gush out from its abdominal cavity.

"Goooooooooo!"

In the blink of an eye, a strange sound came, followed by a strong, fishy stench that filled Jiang Hua's nostrils.

The black serpent's body convulsed suddenly, then its corpse collapsed, rolling several times in frustration before finally crashing to the ground with a thud, motionless.

everything is over.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua's face immediately showed a relieved smile. He then sheathed his longsword, slowly walked over, squatted down, carefully examined the corpse of the jet-black snake, and then put the jet-black snake away.

After Jiang Hua finished doing all this, his brows furrowed slightly.

After a moment of contemplation, his gaze fell upon the head of the large, jet-black snake.

"The head of this jet-black snake, although not as large as its body, is still about half the size of a palm and looks very beautiful."

A smile appeared on Jiang Hua's face.

Qin Feng and Chen Le were both surprised, because they really didn't expect Jiang Hua to be so powerful. They knew very well how terrifying the black snake was; even if they joined forces to deal with it, it would be very difficult.

However, Jiang Hua easily dealt with the jet-black serpent, which truly surprised them.

However, this only increased their admiration for Jiang Hua.

"Ok?"

Just then, as Qin Feng and Chen Le were surprised, Jiang Hua suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.

Qin Feng and Chen Le immediately followed Jiang Hua's gaze, and then their expressions became strange.

"what happened?"

"Brother Jiang, what happened?"

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Hua and asked with some surprise.

He had followed Jiang Hua's footsteps all the way here without noticing anything unusual.

Jiang Hua said helplessly, "Let's hurry up and leave. This place is no longer safe. Let's get out of here first and then talk about it."

"Oh."

Qin Feng nodded, then looked at Chen Le standing to the side.

And you, Brother Chen?

"I…….."

At this moment, Chen Le looked at Jiang Hua and hesitated for a moment, because he actually wanted to look for ginseng king.

However, judging from Jiang Hua's appearance, he seemed unwilling to waste too much time at this moment, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, let's go."

Chen Le nodded and followed Jiang Hua, turning and leaving.

They then came to a narrow passage. Jiang Hua led the way, with Qin Feng and Chen Le following behind. The three of them then rushed forward quickly.

As he walked, Qin Feng looked around, occasionally glancing at the stone walls or things in the caves, searching for what he wanted.

As Jiang Hua walked, he observed his surroundings, paying attention to any movements and remaining constantly vigilant against potential dangers. He dared not be careless, having encountered so many ferocious beasts along the way, and he didn't want any more accidents to occur. "This passage is very long; it will probably take a long time to walk through. Hopefully, we won't encounter any of those monsters. Otherwise, even if the three of us join forces, we probably won't be able to withstand them."

Jiang Hua muttered to himself.

After walking for about twenty minutes, the road ahead became much smoother.

At this moment, Qin Feng also stopped, turned around and looked at Chen Le, and spoke.

“Mr. Chen, the situation ahead is a bit complicated. It’s safer for you to stay behind me. But don’t worry, I won’t let you be in any danger. I just want you to stay by my side to ensure your safety. If you encounter any trouble, I will contact you using a communication talisman.”

Hearing Qin Feng say this, Chen Le knew that now was not the time to play the hero, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's continue on our way."

Qin Feng nodded without saying anything else.

At the end of the passage, a cave appeared, which looked very dark and somewhat deep. However, a faint light shone from within the dark cave, illuminating the entire passage. It looked rather dazzling.

Jiang Hua observed carefully for a while, and then stepped directly into the room.

We entered this dark and deep cave.

As Jiang Hua entered, Qin Feng and Chen Le followed closely behind, also stepping into the black cave.

After entering the cave, Jiang Hua did not immediately search for what he needed. Instead, he turned to look at the two people behind him.

Qin Feng looked puzzled.

Chen Le, on the other hand, looked thoughtful.

"You two stay here, I'll go in and explore."

"No, we can't let you go in alone. What if you encounter danger?"

Qin Feng shook his head and rejected Jiang Hua's suggestion.

"It's okay, I believe I can handle it."

Jiang Hua smiled, looked at the two people behind him, and then continued, "Alright, don't hesitate any longer, just do as I just decided. You two stay here and wait for my news."

"How can we do that? How can the two of us just sit here doing nothing?"

Qin Feng became anxious upon hearing Chen Le's words.

Chen Le simply waved his hand.

"There's no such thing as 'can' or 'can't.' You two stay here now. If I really encounter any danger, just wait outside for my good news. I won't have any problems. On the contrary, if anything happens to you two, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Chen Le spoke earnestly to Qin Feng and Chen Le, and even made a fist-and-palm gesture.

Qin Feng and Chen Le were both stunned by what they saw.

"Mr. Chen, you....."

"I know what you want to say, you don't need to say more. I know what I'm doing. You two just stay here quietly. Trust me, everything will be fine."

"But, Mr. Chen..."

"Alright, just listen to me and do as I say. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty. You should know my temperament. I always keep my word."

Jiang Hua spoke again.

Hearing Jiang Hua say this, Qin Feng and Chen Le exchanged glances and ultimately chose to listen to Jiang Hua.

They knew that at this moment, the two of them were of no help whatsoever.

Therefore, they could only stay here and wait. Whatever happened, Jiang Hua would take responsibility. (End of Chapter)
