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

Chapter 167 Wang Banyue: Old woman, you can’t afford to offend Master Jiang!

"We're here now?"

Wu Xie said.

Jiang Hua: "How can it be that fast? You don't need to move in the car."

After a pause, Jiang Hua said to Zhang Qiling, "Take the equipment and leave. Don't waste time talking to them. We don't need them as guides."

Zhang Qiling paused, then nodded, and got out of the car with Hei Xiazi.

Jiang Hua and Wu Xie stayed in the car.

Soon, there seemed to be a conflict over there.

Then, a group of people came over and surrounded Jiang Hua and their car. An old lady walked out of the crowd with a cold expression on her face, and then spoke a lot of Tibetan.

Anyway, Jiang Hua couldn't understand it, let alone Wu Xie.

Soon someone translated the old woman's words.

"You are so generous. Since you asked us for help, is there any reason for you not to get out of the car?"

one person said.

Jiang Hua frowned, opened the car door and got out, looking at the old woman indifferently. It should be Anding Zhuoma. Jiang Hua said, "Old woman, since you know how to speak Mandarin, can you stop showing off your other languages?"

Anding Zhuoma's expression changed. She didn't expect that Jiang Hua even knew this.

Anding Zhuoma said in stiff Mandarin: "Young man, I know a lot of things you don't know. Come with me."

Jiang Hua said: "No, just give us the equipment and we can go directly to Tamutuo."

Anding Zhuoma's face darkened and she said coldly: "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! I guess you know Chen Wenjin, right? I have all the information you want to know. If you want to know, follow me."

Jiang Hua said: "I know, you want to say that Chen Wenjin asked you to send the videotape, and you want to tell us that Chen Wenjin is waiting for us in Tamutuo, right? If we can't get there within ten days, she will enter Tamutuo alone, right?"

"H-how do you know?"

Anding Zhuoma finally lost her composure and stared at Jiang Hua with wide eyes.

At this moment, she had a feeling that Jiang Hua saw through her, as if Jiang Hua already knew everything about her!
Wu Xie, who had just got off the car, widened his eyes when he heard this!
Chen Wenjin, whom his third uncle had been looking for for half his life, was actually waiting for them in Tamutu?

Moreover, the videotape was indeed sent by Chen Wenjin!
Zhang Qiling also opened his mouth, his face full of surprise.

Apparently, he hadn't expected this either.

Jiang Hua said: "Don't pretend in front of me, just give us the equipment and we can go in by ourselves."

Jiang Hua doesn't want to waste time here.

He didn't care whether Chen Wenjin was waiting for him and others, nor did he care about the ultimate goal or the plans of Uncle Wu and others. He just did his own thing.

Anding Zhuoma looked at Jiang Hua and became hesitant for a moment.

Jiang Hua's attitude made her a little confused.

Jiang Hua ignored Anding Zhuoma and got back into the car.

The people brought by Anding Zhuoma all looked at Anding Zhuoma, waiting for Anding Zhuoma to make a decision.

"Give them the things! I want to see how they can find Tamudu without a guide! They really don't know how to live or die!"

Anding Zhuoma said.

But Jiang Hua said calmly: "I know you want to say that it is the windy season now, but after the windy season, it will rain. As long as it rains, the ghost town will appear."

At this moment, Anding Zhuoma's expression stiffened.

Jiang Hua even knew that it would rain after the wind season. It seemed that he could really find Tamudu.

Finally, with a grim face, Anding Zhuoma gave all the equipment she had prepared to Jiang Hua and the others.

Afterwards, Zhang Qiling and Heixiazi got in the car together, and Heixiazi continued to drive towards Tamutuo.

On the road.

Wu Xie said: "Master Jiang, why don't you want those people to follow you? It would be better to have a guide."

Jiang Hua said: "Bringing them with us would be a burden and would delay our entry into Tamutuo."

"Ok."

Wu Xie was speechless.

And this time, Hei Xia Zi was completely convinced by Jiang Hua!

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, can Jiang Hua really predict the future?
……

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

During these seven days, the three of them, under the leadership of Jiang Hua, did not encounter any danger. According to the original plot, they would have encountered the Devil City and a shipwreck in the sand sea.

However, due to Jiang Hua's deliberate avoidance, he did not encounter these places.

Jiang Hua doesn't want to waste time in these places.

"Look, there's an oasis!"

Wu Xie said excitedly.

The jeep off-road vehicle had long been stuck in the sand, and they had already started walking after the third day in the desert.

Now that we have found the oasis, it means that Tamudu is nearby!

Because, Tamudu is in the oasis!

I don't know why, it's raining heavily here!
Jiang Hua knew that the ghost town would only appear when it rained!
It’s raining now, which means that the ghost town is about to appear!

Jiang Hua and others stood above the oasis, looking at the huge basin below.

This oasis is in a basin. Based on Jiang Hua’s memory, he can be sure that Tamutuo is in this basin.

This basin looks like an oasis, but in fact it is a huge swamp. There is no telling how many crested snakes there are, and it is extremely dangerous.

In the original novel, Wu Xie and his companions died here, and no one knew how many people had died. Except for Wu Xie and Hei Xia Zi, all the others had been bitten, including Zhang Qiling, Wang Banyue, Pan Zi and Wu Sanxing.

"Wenjin's diary says that we need to cross the canyon to enter the oasis, but where is the canyon?"

Wu Xie said.

Jiang Hua said: "Don't rush into the oasis, your third uncle and the others should be here soon."

"My third uncle?"

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment: "My Third Uncle is here too?"

Zhang Qiling and Heixiazi looked at each other. Heixiazi muttered to himself, was this guy really sent by the Third Master? Otherwise, how could he know that the Third Master was also on the way?
Jiang Hua said: "Didn't you notice that Xiao Zhang has been leaving marks along the way?"

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling's little action was discovered by Jiang Hua, but he was not embarrassed at all, because he knew that his action could definitely not be hidden from Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua asked again: "How long will it take for Wu Sanxing to arrive?"

Hei Xia Zi said: "It should take about half a day."

Jiang Hua said: "Forget it, let's go in by ourselves first, no need to wait for them."

After saying that, Jiang Hua took them to find the canyon.

However, outside the canyon, Jiang Hua and his three companions discovered that there was actually a camp outside the canyon, and someone had set up camp here!
"Could it be Uncle San and the others?"

Wu Xie was overjoyed and hurried over.

However, he was soon disappointed, because it was not Wu Sanxing and his group at all, but Anding Zhuoma and his gang!

They actually found this place before Jiang Hua and the others.

Actually, it’s normal because their car was not broken down and Jiang Hua and his friends walked here.

"Wu Xie, haha, you are really here!"

At this time, a surprised voice sounded.

Then a fat man holding a gun walked out of a tent, and then another muscular man walked out of the tent, calling Wu Xie, "Little Third Master."

It was Wang Banyue and Pan Zi.

"Fatty! Pan Zi! Why are you here?"

Wu Xie was overjoyed: "You are here."

Pan Zi said, "It was the Third Master who asked us to wait for you here. The Third Master has already led his men inside."

Wu Xie suddenly realized.

At this time, Wang Banyue and Pan Zi both saw Jiang Hua and were overjoyed. Wang Banyue came over and said, "Master Jiang, I didn't expect you to be here too. That's great! With you on this trip, everything will be absolutely safe!"

Jiang Hua smiled and said nothing.

He came here only to find the second strange stone from outer space. If he found that these people were too slow halfway, he might abandon them and go to the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West alone.

Not to mention the second strange stone from outer space, even the thousands of bloody corpses on the place where Chasi practiced were also Jiang Hua’s experience treasures!
With those blood corpses, Jiang Hua might be able to be promoted to the fifth rank, control the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, and release Qing Lao!
"Humph!"

At this time, Anding Zhuoma came over with a few people. Beside her was a very beautiful woman, who was Anding Zhuoma's daughter-in-law.

However, Jiang Hua's gaze stayed on Anding Zhuoma's daughter-in-law for a while.

Jiang Hua knew that this was not Anding Zhuoma's daughter-in-law at all, but Chen Wenjin!
Of course, Jiang Hua would not say such things out of boredom.

"You really think you're so great, but you still didn't get here before us!"

Anding Zhuoma stared at Jiang Hua and said with disdain on her face.

"Old woman, don't talk nonsense. Master Jiang is not someone you can afford to offend!" Wang Banyue said on the spot.

Anding Zhuoma was immediately embarrassed when Wang Banyue called her an "old woman" in front of so many people.

However, before she could speak, Jiang Hua suddenly pointed at her daughter-in-law and said, "She will go in with us."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Jiang Hua strangely.

Especially Wang Banyue, he said: "Master Jiang, she is still married, isn't it a bit unfair for you to do this?"

Jiang Hua didn't say anything, just stared at Chen Wenjin.

Chen Wenjin's pretty face changed slightly. She felt uneasy when Jiang Hua asked her by name to enter Tamutu together.

If she really followed Jiang Hua in, her plan would be completely disrupted!
Zhang Qiling also looked surprised and frowned at Jiang Hua.

In fact, he had already known that the daughter-in-law of Anding Zhuoma in front of him was Chen Wenjin, but he just didn't say it out loud.

Now, Jiang Hua suddenly pointed out a person who seemed to have nothing to do with this matter and entered Tamutu. Zhang Qiling realized that the powerful Jiang Hua must have discovered something.
