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

The tomb was dark inside, but the outside was bathed in sunlight. Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua was overjoyed. He then flashed into a wisp of black smoke and sped away into the distance.

Soon, Jiang Hua emerged from a cave in the cemetery and returned to his villa. He then placed a protective barrier on the ground inside the villa before feeling relieved.

After returning to the villa, Jiang Hua immediately went to the basement.

Inside the basement, there was a large amount of jade, which were the ores of spiritual herbs that Jiang Hua had plundered here, along with other things. These were all Jiang Hua's spoils of war.

At this moment, among these jade stones, there was a stone that emitted a strange luster, lying quietly.

The stone is milky white in color, with no patterns on its surface. The entire stone is crystal clear and emits a faint white halo, making it look extremely beautiful.

Jiang Hua was extremely satisfied. After admiring the stone for a while, he put it back on the ground and then returned to his original position.

He decided to go to the market to buy some equipment before continuing his tomb exploration tomorrow. After all, he needed more protective gear in this place to avoid any trouble later.

With that in mind, Jiang Hua immediately went to a shop near the villa and bought some protective gear, as well as some simple weapons and equipment.

After purchasing the equipment, Jiang Hua returned to his villa, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to meditate.

The next morning, Jiang Hua woke up early, washed up, ate breakfast, and then went to the villa's door. After opening the door, she went outside.

At this moment, a sliver of dawn was breaking on the horizon, and the sun was slowly rising. The entire cemetery gradually became clearer, and everything returned to normal. There were no strange sights, except for the ancient tomb, which still stood there without any movement.

Not long after, Qin Feng and Chen Le arrived in front of the villa and saw Jiang Hua. They were overjoyed.

Afterwards, Jiang Hua and the other two left together again.

This time, the three of them did not go too far, stopping less than a hundred meters from the perimeter of the tomb.

After stopping here, Jiang Hua took out a talisman and quickly wrote a series of incantations on it. After finishing writing the incantations, he threw the talisman into the tomb and cast a spell.

Suddenly, a loud boom was heard, followed by a strong rumbling sound. Then, the tombs in this area began to shake violently, as if they had been hit by an earthquake.

Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback, but then immediately understood. It was because the talisman he had just dropped had caused the tomb to resonate, which was why it had produced such a strong reaction.

He glanced at the surrounding tombs and found that apart from a few houses shaking slightly, there was no damage. Jiang Hua immediately felt a little relieved.

He then turned to Qin Feng and Chen Le, a smile on his face, and said, "Let's go in!"

The three of them then immediately entered the ancient tomb and arrived at the first level of the tomb.

There was nothing else on this first level except for some messy stone platforms.

After looking around, Jiang Hua found nothing special and then began to examine the stone walls inside.

Jiang Hua examined each item carefully, scrutinizing every inch of the stone walls and meticulously observing the patterns on them.

He observed the patterns on the stone wall. These patterns were extremely intricate runes, which looked very complex and were not easy to recognize. Moreover, these runes seemed to have been carved by an extremely profound talisman, making them even more difficult to identify.

Jiang Hua observed for a long time, but he couldn't understand these runes at all, nor could he identify what kind of runes they were, let alone the information they contained, which made him quite distressed.

"Hey!"

Jiang Hua sighed softly, then stood up, looked at Qin Feng and Chen Le beside him, and smiled slightly, "Well? Are there any valuable clues here?"

Qin Feng and Chen Le exchanged a glance and shook their heads. Jiang Hua's smile froze instantly; he hadn't expected this outcome.

"It seems there are no special clues here. In that case, let's hurry to the center of that ancient tomb."

Jiang Hua thought for a moment and then said.

Qin Feng and Chen Le nodded immediately upon hearing this and began searching for the mechanism to the second level. This place was far too eerie, and they had to be careful. The three of them were about to leave when they suddenly heard a low growl. Immediately afterward, they saw a figure suddenly appear on a stone platform. This figure was entirely black, with blood-red eyes, and stared at Jiang Hua and the other two with a ferocious expression.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing monster, Jiang Hua was slightly startled. He quickly took out a talisman and held it in front of him, ready to attack at any moment. He hadn't expected that such a thing would exist here.

"This...this is..."

Qin Feng and Chen Le were startled when they saw the black monster that suddenly appeared in front of them.

Upon seeing the black monster before him, Jiang Hua's expression changed slightly, and he was slightly startled.

"What is this?"

At this moment, Qin Feng and Chen Le asked a question.

Jiang Hua didn't say anything, just stood there quietly waiting for the other party to make the first move. At this moment, they saw the black monster suddenly rush towards Jiang Hua and the other two.

He was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Jiang Hua and the other two. He stretched out his right hand, with five sharp fingernails that looked extremely terrifying. Jiang Hua and the other two were stunned.

They had never seen such horrifying fingernails before.

The black monster seemed to know that the three were ordinary people, so it did not attack them, but instead grabbed at the necks of Jiang Hua and the other two.

Seeing the monster's movements, Jiang Hua was slightly startled. He knew that the other party's movements were extremely fast, but he did not expect that the other party's speed was even faster than his own.

Jiang Hua quickly dodged the opponent's attack, and at the same time, he swiftly threw out the talisman in his hand.

"Boom boom boom!"

The talisman flew and landed on the black monster.

The talisman struck the black monster, causing a massive explosion. The monster was thrown back several steps by the shockwave and came to a stop.

But the monster didn't seem afraid at all. Instead, it grinned and said, "Hahaha, kid, you actually know such powerful spells. This is really interesting. This is the most interesting thing I've encountered today."

Upon hearing what the other person said, Jiang Hua frowned.

At that moment, the opponent's body swayed and appeared right in front of Jiang Hua, his five sharp fingernails stabbing towards Jiang Hua's body with extreme speed.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hua was startled and immediately used all his strength. He quickly unleashed all the talismans in his hand, striking the monster in front of him.

Seeing this, the other party was also slightly surprised, not expecting that the other party would have such a method, which made a trace of solemnity appear in his eyes.

Jiang Hua cast more and more talismans, making them increasingly dense.

Faced with this situation, the black monster dared not be careless. Although he looked very violent, he was not stupid. He knew that Jiang Hua was definitely not such a simple person, otherwise he would not have such formidable strength.

Therefore, he dared not be careless at this moment, and instead focused all his efforts on dealing with the talismans that Jiang Hua had cast.

His five fingers were incredibly sharp; once they touched a talisman, they would immediately ignite its flames, causing it to explode rapidly.

Seeing that his talisman had no effect on the other party, Jiang Hua's expression changed slightly, but at this moment, the other party's fingernails had already pierced into his shoulder.

He couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly activated his spiritual energy to prevent the talisman fire from entering his wound.

Seeing that his talisman was indeed effective, Jiang Hua was secretly delighted. He hadn't expected that his talisman would actually work on the other party, which was a very rare and precious thing.

You should know that although the talismans he used before had some effect, they were not as obvious.

It seems this monster is indeed quite powerful!

At this moment, he dared not be careless in the slightest, nor did he have time to be negligent in the slightest. (End of Chapter)
