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

"It seems that this should belong to the owner of this cave. However, the owner of this cave is not simple. He actually arranged his things in such a place."
"It seems he knew there would be danger inside." Looking at the interior of the cave, which was so peculiar, Jiang Hua couldn't help but say with some surprise.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Jiang Hua, I don't think the owner of this cave is anything special. It's just a stone tablet whose purpose I don't know. He doesn't seem like a powerful person at all!"

"He actually managed to withstand our attacks and even dared to carve out a cave within this mountain cave. It seems we really need to think carefully. If we encounter him here, shouldn't we teach him a lesson?"

Seeing Jiang Hua's expression, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile and say something.

"Haha, alright, since that's the case, let's hurry up and search to see if there are any treasures or hidden treasures inside. Maybe we can even find some treasures and wealth. That would be considered good luck!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua laughed heartily, and then spoke to Qin Feng, Zhao Xinran, and the others.

"Hehe, no need to say more, let's go, let's hurry and see if there are any treasures here!"

Qin Feng and Zhao Xinran immediately became excited, and then the two began to search inside the cave. However, although there were countless rocks inside the cave...

However, searching carefully is also very difficult because the cave is so vast, much larger than the rock-built caves that Jiang Hua and the others had seen before.

Therefore, it takes a lot of effort to thoroughly search the cave.

"You two, be careful and check everything thoroughly before you start. Don't make any mistakes." Seeing Qin Feng and Zhao Xinran's behavior, Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown and then reminded them.

"Don't worry! We're not stupid. Of course we'll be careful. We're both very sensible!" Qin Feng and Zhao Xinran immediately replied after hearing Jiang Hua's words.
Afterwards, the two divided the work, carefully searching while discussing in hushed tones. During their discussion, they discovered...

Inside the cave, there seemed to be many patterns, and these patterns were all very elaborate, with many lines carved on each one.

However, although these patterns are all on the walls inside the cave, they all have many gaps, making it impossible to display them completely.

Moreover, there are no patterns on this wall that can describe the meaning of these patterns, only small holes in those patterns, and in the center of each of these small holes there are some red lines.

There was also a thick black aura emanating from the red lines, and these red lines looked very eerie, and there were quite a few of them.

There were more than three hundred of them, and each of the red lines emanated an enormous evil aura.

"Huh? How could this be?" On the other side of the cave, Jiang Hua saw the pattern of red lines and his eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of doubt in them.

"Jiang Hua, what's wrong?" Qin Feng and the others noticed Jiang Hua's change and immediately asked.

"It's nothing, but the patterns on these red lines seem a bit off." Jiang Hua shook his head slightly and then said. However, although Jiang Hua spoke calmly, a look of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

When Jiang Hua saw these red lines, he sensed that they were a special kind of formation, and a very powerful one at that, capable of blocking all power from the outside. If Jiang Hua wasn't mistaken, these red lines were indeed a formation, and the fact that it could withstand his attacks meant that this formation was definitely extraordinary, and at a very high level.

If Jiang Hua's guess is correct, this formation is at least at the level of a fifth-order formation. However, there is no record of this formation in Jiang Hua's memory, so it seems to be very rare.

"Oh? Is something wrong?" Qin Feng looked at him with some surprise and asked, as this was the first time he had heard of this.

"I don't know." Jiang Hua shook his head and said, "I only know that this formation is a fifth-order formation, but I'm not too clear about the specific principles behind it."

"A fifth-order formation? Isn't that even more powerful than the Five Elements Array?" Qin Feng said, somewhat shocked.

"I think so." Jiang Hua nodded, then looked at Qin Feng and said, "By the way, when I entered the underground palace just now, I found a key point of the array, but it was blocked by an invisible aura, and I couldn't get in at all."

"What? Someone actually placed the array's core in such a hidden place? That's simply unbelievable!" Qin Feng exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, I think so too, so I'm a little confused." Jiang Hua nodded. He had the same question, so he thought of the huge altar in the underground palace.

However, the altar was completely covered by the black mist, and Jiang Hua tried to break into the altar but failed.

"So you mean the key to the formation is inside the underground palace?" Qin Feng asked him with some curiosity.

"I don't know." Jiang Hua shook his head, then thought of the black tower he had seen before entering the underground palace. He couldn't help but think that perhaps this underground palace was the only passage to that tower.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Hua suddenly had an idea. Since that was the case, he would also go and take a look.

"What? You want to go and see what's going on there?"

Seeing his appearance, Qin Feng couldn't help but ask, "That's a dangerous place, you mustn't wander in recklessly."

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with that place," Jiang Hua said with a smile. He had a spatial artifact in his possession, and although he didn't know if he could break the seal here, he believed it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"Since you insist, I'll go with you!" Qin Feng couldn't refuse, after all, this matter concerned his safety and his development on Earth, so he couldn't refuse.

"Okay!" Jiang Hua nodded. He could also use this opportunity to see what areas he needed to improve in his cultivation. This was also a test for him.

The two then left the cave and headed towards the outer perimeter of the underground palace. (End of Chapter)
