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

Is this a haunted house?
After the thought popped into Jiang Hua's mind, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Then, he examined the ancient corpse carefully again. He saw that the corpse looked very ordinary and had nothing special about it.

However, Jiang Hua carefully examined the forehead of the ancient corpse.

"Huh? It's empty there?" After Jiang Hua looked at it carefully, he was slightly taken aback and noticed something.

That is, there was no visible protrusion on the forehead of this ancient corpse. The area was empty, and there was no flesh on the forehead. The empty area was covered with a thick layer of dust.

This discovery immediately delighted Jiang Hua. If this conclusion was true, then the matter would be much easier to handle.

A strange light flickered in Jiang Hua's eyes, and he began to make some guesses.

"What? Did you discover something?" Qin Feng was slightly taken aback when he saw a smile on Jiang Hua's face.

"Hehe, I think I've found the key to breaking through here."

Seeing Qin Feng's expression, Jiang Hua shook her head slightly, and then said to Qin Feng.

"Really? That's great! I was afraid that if we had waited any longer, this tomb might have been destroyed." Qin Feng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Jiang Hua to find a way to break through this place so quickly, which surprised him quite a bit.

“That’s right, this is the key to unlocking this place. I just discovered it myself. Don’t say anything yet. Let me open this place up, and then we’ll go in together.”

Jiang Hua nodded slightly, and then said.

"Okay, go ahead and do it. We'll handle everything."

"Yes, we're here to protect you, so don't worry!"

Qin Feng and Chen Le both nodded, and then said.

"Then you all stand here and don't move. Under no circumstances should you go near this tomb. I need to remove the stone tablet on top of this tombstone, otherwise none of us will be able to enter safely."

Jiang Hua gave Qin Feng and Chen Ledao another few words of advice.

"Yes, yes, we know. Don't worry, we'll be careful," Qin Feng and Chen Le nodded quickly and replied.

Seeing that Qin Feng and Chen Le had both agreed, Jiang Hua felt relieved. Then, with a slight sway, she rushed towards the stone tablet.

Brilliant sword beams immediately erupted from his body, swirling around him and swirling within them.

Jiang Hua's body was like a sword, constantly flying around him, dazzling the eyes of the onlookers.

Soon, a narrow staircase about 100 meters long and 7 or 8 meters wide appeared behind Jiang Hua.

As this staircase appeared, several more sword beams emerged behind Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua immediately accelerated and sped up the narrow staircase.

He quickly arrived at the top of the narrow staircase. Then, his figure paused slightly in mid-air, and a tremendous force instantly surged from his body. After a sway, his body disappeared from their sight.

"This...this is the way you were talking about cracking this place?"

Qin Feng and Chen Le were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other with expressions of surprise and doubt.

None of them expected that Jiang Hua would come up with this method to decipher the tomb.

This was truly unexpected for them, and at the same time, they were very much looking forward to seeing if Jiang Hua's approach would succeed.

"Ah."

Jiang Hua nodded, then paused in mid-air before disappearing completely.

This time, Jiang Hua did not immediately use his movement technique. Instead, he remained standing in place, clenching his fists and waving them in the air in front of his chest. Sharp energy emanated from his body, forming a radiant expanse of sword energy.

Then, Jiang Hua's body jolted again, and streaks of sword energy shot out from his fists, sweeping in all directions.

Jiang Hua's body reappeared around the ancient coffin. Qin Feng and Chen Le's eyes widened in disbelief.

They never expected that Jiang Hua would actually do it!
"This guy is getting more and more formidable. It seems this place is no longer dangerous. In that case, there's no need for us to stay here any longer. Let's go!"

Qin Feng took a deep breath, turned to look at the tomb behind him, looked at the surrounding environment, and then spoke.

"Okay, let's go then!"

Chen Le nodded in agreement.

Qin Feng and Chen Le supported each other as they slowly retreated towards the tomb behind them.

After exiting the tomb, Qin Feng and Chen Le finally breathed a sigh of relief, a sense of ease rising in their hearts.
"Hey, young brother Jiang Hua, thank you so much. We really owe you a huge favor this time!"

Looking at Jiang Hua, Qin Feng couldn't help but bow to her with his hands clasped.

"You're welcome, Qin Feng. You're really making me feel bad by saying that to me."

Jiang Hua quickly waved his hand, then said with a smile.

"No matter what, I have to thank you, Jiang Hua, today. If it weren't for you helping us get out of the crisis, the two of us would probably be dead inside by now."

"Haha, we're all friends, why are you being so polite!"

"Yes, there's no need to be so polite. I'm truly flattered by your kindness!"

"Haha, alright then, you guys go back and rest! Tomorrow morning, we'll meet here again and go in together. Maybe we'll find some treasures."

Qin Feng and Chen Le waved to Jiang Hua with a smile, then said something to him.

"Okay, we'll be going now. See you tomorrow morning."

Afterwards, Qin Feng and Chen Le bid farewell to Jiang Hua again and then turned and left.

Jiang Hua watched the two leave the tomb, then sighed slightly before turning around and walking into the tomb to close the ancient coffin again.

Although everything in this tomb was full of mystery to Jiang Hua, it was of no use to him.

His most important task now is to break the seal on this tomb. Only by breaking the seal can Jiang Hua truly enter the tomb, search for the treasure, and obtain those mysterious inheritances.

Then, Jiang Hua arrived at the ancient altar, reached out and touched it, and immediately a series of strange fluctuations emanated from the altar.

Sensing these strange fluctuations, Jiang Hua's heart stirred slightly, and he then reached out and pressed down on a boulder on the altar.

As Jiang Hua pressed down, the boulder immediately burst forth with a dazzling golden light. Then, within this dazzling golden light, the boulder slowly changed its appearance, transforming into a golden boulder that floated in mid-air, emitting a faint golden glow.

Jiang Hua then reached out and grabbed the boulder.

"what?"

Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback, then immediately placed his palm on the boulder. Instantly, a strange power surged from his palm and into the boulder.

Jiang Hua raised an eyebrow. He used his divine sense to examine the boulder and discovered that it seemed to contain a special power.

This special power is the sealing power of this ancient tomb, and this sealing power is wrapped in the surface of this boulder, which is why Jiang Hua was able to detect this sealing power.

Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback, and then immediately his mind moved. After his divine sense probed, the image of the boulder appeared in his mind.

This boulder looks like an oval sphere, with a yellow color all over. On its surface, there are fine lines that look like lotus flowers, making it very beautiful and colorful.

Looking at the huge rock in front of him, Jiang Hua pondered for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"It does bear some resemblance to the tombstone in this tomb, so it should be the core of this tomb."

Jiang Hua wasn't greedy. Being alone here wasn't safe, so he wisely left the tomb. (End of Chapter)
