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

Chapter 185: Snake Crystal, Carrying Corpse Successor Uncle Ming

Finally, three days later, Jiang Hua's door was pushed open and a pale-faced woman walked in.

Although her appearance is unfamiliar, one can tell from her slim figure that she is Chen Wenjin.

Chen Wenjin finally arrived.

What's more, to Jiang Hua's surprise, there was another surprise!
After Chen Wenjin walked into the courtyard, she saw Jiang Hua who had just opened his eyes, and then she tore off the human skin mask and said, "Your name is really useful. I can find you by just asking around in Panjiayuan."

Jiang Hua frowned: "Your corpse transformation has become more serious again."

The strange fragrance on Chen Wenjin's body was very strong. Jiang Hua knew that the stronger the fragrance, the more serious the corpse transformation.

Chen Wenjin nodded: "Yes, after I left the meteorite, the speed of my transformation into a corpse exceeded my imagination. If it had been five days longer, I would have followed in Huo Ling's footsteps."

Jiang Hua said: "It's okay now, come here."

Chen Wenjin nodded, walked to Jiang Hua and sat down, then said: "It's really strange, the closer I get to you, the weaker the feeling of corpse transformation becomes. Could it be because of the blood of the red dragon?"

Jiang Hua said: "You can think of it this way. As long as you stay by my side, the problem of corpse transformation should be solved. After a period of time, it will be completely reversed and you will live like an ordinary person."

Chen Wenjin said: "Thank you!"

Jiang Hua smiled and shook his head, but didn't say much.

Because, if it weren't for Chen Wenjin, he wouldn't have been able to get the third piece of alien stone, let alone synthesize the alien divine stone, so it was his duty to save her now.

This is a cycle of cause and effect.

Jiang Hua said, "Okay, you can live here from now on. There are plenty of rooms in the house. Just find a room. After lunch, we'll go buy some clothes."

Although Chen Wenjin has a very good foundation, her charm cannot be hidden even in her current shabby clothes, but she can't always wear this old clothes in the future, right?

So, you should buy more sets of clothes.

Chen Wenjin nodded, and then said: "In addition to coming to see you this time, I also have something else for you."

Jiang Hua was stunned: "What is it?"

Chen Wenjin took out something from her inner pocket, which was wrapped in a rag. After she opened the cloth, Jiang Hua saw that it was a red hexagonal crystal with sharp edges.

This red crystal is only the size of a baby's fist. Like the Snake Mother's inner elixir, it is also a red colored glass crystal and looks very beautiful.

"what is this?"

Jiang Hua asked doubtfully.

Chen Wenjin said: "Snake crystals grow from the place where the mother snake rests. I got them from the snake cave."

"Snake crystal?"

Jiang Hua's heart moved, and he took the snake crystal, and the system prompt sounded.

[Obtain a snake crystal, reward 500 evolution points]

Snake Crystal: A strange mineral born in the Snake Mother's lair. When used together with goblins, it can neutralize the Snake Mother's inner elixir!

Jiang Hua said: "This thing is useful to me, so I won't be polite."

Chen Wenjin nodded, then went to the inner room to clean up the house.

Soon, Chen Wenjin tidied up the room. She put on the human skin mask again, went out with Jiang Hua to eat, went to the street to buy some things, and then came back.

Chen Wenjin's charm is even more unconcealed when she puts on new clothes.

Moreover, she now looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with two pigtails, a bit like a literary young woman.

Jiang Hua said: "You are considered a rare flower in Panjiayuan."

Chen Wenjin smiled, a very sweet smile.

After another two days, the strange fragrance on Chen Wenjin's body gradually faded, and one had to get very close to smell it. This showed that the divine stone from outer space was indeed effective.

Chen Wenjin felt relieved. It was obvious that Jiang Hua could indeed save her.

Chen Wenjin has gradually become accustomed to the life here. She has completely become Jiang Hua's nanny, taking care of Jiang Hua's diet, daily life and other matters in life, so Jiang Hua doesn't have to worry about anything at all.

Occasionally, the two of them would play chess to pass the time.

On this day, the weather in the capital had turned cold. The two were playing chess in the sun when Hu Bayi and others came to their door.

They haven't been here for a long time.

Jiang Hua knew that this time they should be heading to Kunlun Mountain.

Along with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan came an old man.

The old man was short and fat, and looked to be in his fifties. He always had a smiling face, and behind him was a strong man as tall as an iron tower.

Jiang Hua knew at a glance that it must be Uncle Ming.

In the original novel, Hu Bayi and his friends got clues about the Demon Kingdom from Uncle Ming and were invited by Uncle Ming to embark on the journey to the Glacier Demon Kingdom.

"Mr. Jiang, you're finally back!" Wang Kaixuan walked in and said with a smile.

Then he saw Chen Wenjin.

"Hey, why did Master Jiang change another one?"

Wang Kaixuan joked.

When Chen Wenjin was in Jiang Hua's courtyard, she would show her true face. If Jiang Hua hadn't reminded her, she would not have worn the human skin mask. So now she is showing her true face. She is beautiful and has a good figure, which naturally attracts people's attention.

Chen Wenjin smiled and said, "You guys chat, I'll go make you a pot of tea."

Then Chen Wenjin got up and went into the inner room.

Jiang Hua said: "A distant relative, something happened at home, so he came to stay with me for a while."

"So that's how it is. Your distant relative is quite handsome."

Wang Kaixuan smiled.

Jiang Hua asked: "Why, what do you want to talk to me about this time?"

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Uncle Ming.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other, and then Hu Bayi said, "Master Jiang, let us introduce someone to you first."

Then, he looked at Uncle Ming and said, "This is Uncle Ming from the south. He's a big businessman and wants to come and meet you."

Uncle Ming said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Now that I see you today, you really look young."

Jiang Hua said: "You're welcome, please sit down."

Not long after, Chen Wenjin came out with a pot of tea and poured a cup of tea for everyone.

Hu Bayi glanced at Chen Wenjin, and his meaning was very clear.

Jiang Hua said: "It doesn't matter, just tell me what you want to say."

Hu Bayi knew that there was no need to be shy about talking to Chen Wenjin, so he said, "Master Jiang, it's like this. Uncle Ming wants to go to the Glacier Demon Country to look for the crystal corpse."

Jiang Hua was not surprised at all and said calmly: "Okay, but you have to pay a price."

Uncle Ming said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Jiang likes some antiques. Although I don't have any great skills, I have made a lot of money doing business over the years. I have a lot of ancient things at home. If Mr. Jiang likes them, you can go to my place and take a look. If there is anything you like, just take it."

After a pause, Uncle Ming continued, "After the matter is done, Mr. Jiang can choose whatever I have. It doesn't matter even if he takes everything. As for the things in the tomb, we can just split them in half."

Jiang Hua looked at Uncle Ming with a smile but didn't say anything.

This made Uncle Ming feel a little uneasy and he didn't know what Jiang Hua meant.

Uncle Ming asked again: "Mr. Jiang, do you have any other requests?"

Jiang Hua said, "Take out some real stuff first. You know what all that stuff in your house is, don't you?"

Uncle Ming's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "I don't know what Mr. Jiang meant by this."

Jiang Hua said: "Your two sons have lost a lot recently, right?"

At this moment, Uncle Ming’s expression finally changed completely!

He looked at Jiang Hua in shock and asked incredulously: "How did you know?"

Jiang Hua said, "The fortune earned by our ancestors carrying corpses was squandered by your two sons. The things in your house are not worth half of what I have. You still want to ask me for help? This is ridiculous."

Although Uncle Ming was a businessman and his family was very wealthy, his two sons were addicted to gambling and had long since lost all the family's wealth.

Those so-called antiques in his courtyard house in Beijing were basically all fakes.

In the original novel, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan found out about this later and were almost furious.

And Uncle Ming, because he had no other choice, took the risk and carried the corpse himself, and it was a crystal corpse.

It’s a pity that he had long forgotten the things passed down by his ancestors, so he had no idea how to carry the corpse.

After hearing what Jiang Hua said, Uncle Ming stared at Jiang Hua with wide eyes, his heart filled with fear.

Every word Jiang Hua said completely exposed him, which made Uncle Ming feel that Jiang Hua had completely seen through him.

He finally understood that Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were not talking nonsense. This Mr. Jiang was truly a man of great powers and had the ability to predict the future!

When Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan heard this, their eyes bulged.

The two men immediately surrounded Uncle Ming. Wang Kaixuan grabbed Uncle Ming by the collar and pretended to hit him: "Old man, you f*cking dared to fool me, believe it or not, I will make sure you can't leave Panjiayuan!"

Wang Kaixuan was very angry.

After all, when they were discussing it before, Uncle Ming had directly said that there were treasures all over the room for them to choose from!
Unexpectedly, they were all fake!

No wonder this guy is so generous.

Depend on!
