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

Not long after they started walking, they discovered a cemetery deep in the valley. It was impossible to count how many skeletons were in this valley; the graves were densely packed and countless.

Each row of tombs covered an area of ​​over a thousand feet, and in front of these tombs stood many tall tombs, row upon row of tombs connected together to form the shape of a huge cemetery.

What surprised Jiang Hua even more was that these graves were all made of piled-up bones, and they were all skeletons. This scene was simply unbelievable.

"These bones are actually the remains of ordinary people! Who exactly is buried in this valley? How could such a massive burial ground be built with bones!"

Jiang Hua sighed inwardly.

However, he didn't say much. Instead, he silently walked towards the graveyard ahead, intending to see what was buried in this valley. There were just too many skeletons here, piled up densely to form a graveyard. The bones were densely packed and varied in shape, but they were basically all skeletons.

This valley is so vast that it contains countless skeletons. Such a large cemetery could never have been built by a normal person.

As Jiang Hua approached the enormous graveyard, he encountered numerous skeletons along the way, but none of them reacted. These skeletons seemed to be all dead, leaving only withered bones standing silently there.

Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback and a little puzzled. Logically speaking, the skeletons here must have practiced evil arts while they were alive, so how could they have died so young?

However, Jiang Hua didn't say much and continued forward. He wanted to see what was in this valley, why there were so many corpses, and why they were all practitioners of evil arts!
Upon reaching the center of the cemetery, a massive stone tablet, approximately a hundred feet tall, stood horizontally in the valley. The tablet was covered with various runes, densely packed together.

Its shape is peculiar and strange, with a total of eighteen ancient runes combined into a formation.

The entire valley was surrounded by all sorts of formations, densely packed together.

These eighteen formations were actually interconnected, forming a strange link, like a giant chain that tightly bound the entire valley together.

Jiang Hua was slightly surprised and guessed that perhaps the owner of these skeletons came from this valley, and this valley must be a treasure trove that these people had been guarding.

What is inside that would make them willingly risk entering this perilous valley?

However, Jiang Hua has now become somewhat interested in these people and can't help but feel a little eager to try them out.

Walking up to a tombstone, Jiang Hua reached out and brushed away some of the dust on it.

“What era are these graves from? They look at least tens of thousands of years old, and they are all made up of bones and skeletons from the remains of a single person who died. They must be from this valley.”

Countless lives have perished here; this tomb is definitely not ordinary. Perhaps it truly contains a great deal of treasure!

Jiang Hua sighed inwardly.

He then slowly walked in, his steps very light, as if afraid of breaking the pile of bones in front of him and making the slightest sound.

Upon entering the cemetery, Jiang Hua was immediately struck by a chilling, bone-deep cold that sent shivers down his spine. A sense of dread rose within him, as if some terrifying demon or monster lurked within the cemetery, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Jiang Hua took a deep breath, suppressing his fear, and looked around, trying to find the source of his fear.

But looking around, there was nothing but some white bones; there was absolutely no clue. "Could it be my imagination?"

Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown.

However, this feeling grew stronger and stronger, and Jiang Hua began to have some doubts. Perhaps there really was some secret hidden in this valley, and these skeletons all had a strange and terrifying aura.

"Could it really be a graveyard for humans who practiced evil magic?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Hua also had a doubt in his heart. If it was really a person who practiced evil arts, and with so many evil arts, then this person must be very powerful, and might even be an evil god-level existence. He just didn't know who these people were.

"Regardless, let's go in and take a look first. Who knows, we might find the secrets buried by these people, or perhaps we'll find a great opportunity!"

Jiang Hua pondered for a moment, then made a decision.

Jiang Hua then continued walking forward, but he was also much more cautious. After all, he had already entered and there was no way he could go back, so he did not back down and continued to move forward.

Gradually, Jiang Hua arrived at the center of the cemetery.

This cemetery was filled with a terrifying aura.

These malevolent energies were not simply malevolent energy, but rather an extremely evil and resentful aura emanating from them, sending chills down one's spine and giving rise to a feeling of extreme fear.

However, Jiang Hua did not panic at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced ahead, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Hua's eyesight was exceptionally sharp. He could clearly sense from the malevolent energy that there were still clusters of malevolent energy floating ahead. He immediately took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on his forehead. As soon as the talisman was placed on his forehead, a strong masculine energy emanated from it, instantly dispelling the malevolent energy and making Jiang Hua feel much more comfortable.

Jiang Hua then continued walking forward.

After walking a short distance, Jiang Hua suddenly stopped, a look of shock on her face.

In the center of the cemetery ahead stood a towering tree, hundreds of meters tall. This blood-red tree was as tall as a three-story building, with thick branches...

It was covered with red, bloody spikes. These spikes looked extremely sharp. If a person were to be pierced by one of them, a single spike could easily pierce through the flesh and pierce through the entire person!
The tree was a hundred meters tall, its entire body was blood red, and it emitted a strong smell of blood. This smell made Jiang Hua's breath catch in his throat for a moment.

Jiang Hua carefully examined the tree and discovered several fist-sized dents on its trunk. These dents were cone-shaped, as if they had been cut by a sharp tool, and were extremely hard, indicating that they were not ordinary wood.

"This is……"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua's heart stirred, and a realization dawned on him.

This big tree is no ordinary big tree.

It was covered with numerous black marks, quite peculiar, and clearly not an ordinary object. (End of Chapter)
