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

Chapter 223 Corpse-Suppressing Bead, the Unknown Fourth Layer
Jiang Hua took a look at Zhang Ruitong's coffin and found that there was nothing good inside.

At this time, Wang Banyue asked: "Brother, isn't he immortal? Then how did this person die?"

Jiang Hua said: "Longevity does not mean eternal life, look at this."

As he spoke, he pointed to some words on the coffin.

When Wu Xie and Wang Banyue took a look, they were surprised to find that there were words on the coffin recording Zhang Ruitong's life.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that he died of amnesia while robbing tombs.

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling worriedly: "Will Menyouping also die from this amnesia?"

Jiang Hua said: "It's not that easy."

Zhang Qiling is now an immortal body, how could he die so easily?

Jiang Hua had checked and found that Zhang Ruitong was already dead and there was no possibility of him turning into a corpse. He should have been just an immortal body when he was alive, and his physical condition was not as good as Zhang Qiling's.

Jiang Hua felt that there was nothing interesting here, so he prepared to leave and go to the fourth floor.

In the original book, no one has ever been to the fourth floor and above.

Going further up, no one knew what dangers there would be, and Jiang Hua didn't know either.

Perhaps there are undead bodies there, but for Jiang Hua, he would not be afraid even if there are undead bodies.

However, just as he was about to leave, the general said, "Wait."

Jiang Hua frowned: "What's wrong?"

The general seems to have discovered something?
Jiang Chen walked to the coffin, stared at Zhang Ruitong's body carefully, then reached out and clamped Zhang Ruitong's mouth.

Jiang Chen himself was a zombie, and the negative energy on his body was very terrifying. When he came into contact with Zhang Ruitong's corpse, Zhang Ruitong, who would not have turned into a zombie originally, was suddenly greatly stimulated. His body shook violently, and he was about to rise from the dead!

Wang Banyue was shocked and said, "Fuck, this old man is awake!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen pointed his finger at Zhang Ruitong's forehead, and Zhang Ruitong's body immediately calmed down and regained its composure.

Then, the general pinched Zhang Ruitong's mouth open and took out a black bead from it.

That thing has a very strong yin energy.

Jiang Hua frowned: "What is this?"

"The Corpse-Suppressing Pearl is a pearl that is unique to the Corpse-Keeping Country. This kind of thing is very strange. Once it leaves the Corpse-Keeping Country too far away, it will lose its effect. But now, the effect of this Corpse-Suppressing Pearl is very great!"

Said the general.

Jiang Hua was delighted and said excitedly, "Since this corpse-suppressing bead is still effective, does that mean that the ancient country of corpse-restraining is nearby?"

The matter of the ancient country of Jushi has always been on Jiang Hua's mind. He had originally planned to travel around Guanggui Province with Jiang Chen to look for the ancient country of Jushi after settling the matter of the Zhang family's ancient building.

After all, there are countless ancient corpses in the ancient country of Jushi, and the yin energy is overwhelming. It is a perfect place for him to increase his strength!
There must be other physical conditions after the immortal body. Now even a master like Jiang Chen has appeared, and no one knows whether there will be more powerful masters in the future. Naturally, Jiang Hua would better improve his physical condition as soon as possible.

After all, the higher the physique, the stronger the strength.

Therefore, the ancient country of Jushi is a place that Jiang Hua must visit 100%.

What Jiang Hua didn't expect was that something from the ancient country of Ju Shi actually appeared here, and it was a corpse-suppressing bead, which meant that the ancient country of Ju Shi was nearby. After finding the corpse of Lei Qilin in the ancient building, he could go look for the ancient country of Ju Shi.

Jiang Chen said, "It should be nearby." Jiang Hua frowned, "Didn't you say before that if you get within 50 miles of the ancient country, you can sense the location of the ancient country?"

Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed, but he said with an unchanged expression: "It's normal. There are many situations that can cause the ancient country of Ju Shi to disappear. For example... if there is a jade vein under the ancient country of Ju Shi, it can cover up the corpse qi. Even if the corpse qi of the ancient country of Ju Shi is strong, I will not be able to find it."

Jiang Hua glanced at Jiang Chen and felt that this guy was a little guilty.

But he didn't say anything more, and walked towards the fourth floor.

Now that it has been confirmed that the ancient country of Jushi is nearby, we should hurry up and get the bloodline of the Thunder Kirin.

Wu Xie asked from behind: "Master Jiang, what kind of country is the Jushi Ancient Kingdom?"

Jiang Hua said calmly: "Have you heard of the Dharma King Jushi?"

Wu Xie shook his head.

But Wang Banyue said, "The Corpse-Guarding Dharma King? I've heard of him! The Corpse-Guarding Dharma King is one of the four hidden families in the tomb-raiding world. I heard that this Corpse-Guarding Dharma King is a master from Mount Longhu. He is very powerful and even the ancient corpses in the ancient tombs dare not provoke him."

Wu Xie asked: "Is there such a master?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "Fatty is right, there are indeed corpse-binding kings in this world, and the current corpse-binding king is indeed from Longhu Mountain, but this kind of corpse-binding king is not authentic. In fact, the real corpse-binding king is the descendant of the ancient corpse-binding country. Each one of them is very powerful, even more powerful than the corpse-driving Taoist priests in Xiangxi. It's a pity that the ancient corpse-binding country was later destroyed by King Mu of Zhou."

"King Mu of Zhou? Isn't that the bloody corpse in the Seven Star Lu Palace?"

Wu Xie said.

Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, King Mu of Zhou was also the lover of Queen Mother of the West. When King Mu of Zhou went west, he was invincible and fought his way to Queen Mother of the West's kingdom. However, he could not defeat Queen Mother of the West, but he secretly fell in love with her. The two agreed to meet again thousands of years later, so Queen Mother of the West gave King Mu of Zhou the Ghost Seal and a set of jade figurines."

"So, King Mu of Zhou later relied on the Ghost Seal to become invincible. Even the mysterious and powerful ancient country of Jushi was destroyed by King Mu of Zhou. Later, King Mu of Zhou fell into a deep sleep underground. He wanted to use the method of Jade Figurines and Corpse Turtle King Pill to prolong his life and meet the Queen Mother of the West again thousands of years later. However, he did not expect that King Lu Shang would usurp his throne."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

But Wang Banyue was surprised and said, "That's not right. Didn't they say that the Ghost Seal belongs to King Lu Shang? Did he get it from the snake's stomach?"

Jiang Hua sneered: "Do you think you can trust the autobiography left by a person who occupied someone else's tomb? Those are all bullshit. In fact, the Ghost Seal was obtained from the tomb of King Mu of Zhou."

Wang Banyue nodded: "I also think that King Lu Shang was a piece of shit. It's a good thing that he was killed by Tie Miansheng in the end. It can be regarded as retribution!"

As they were talking, several people went up the stairs and arrived at the fourth floor.

In the original novel, Huo Xiangu died on the fourth floor, and Zhang Qiling also encountered a crisis on the fourth floor. If Wu Xie and Wang Banyue had not found Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling would probably have been in great danger.

No one knows what Zhang Qiling and Huo Xiangu encountered on this fourth floor, and why they suffered heavy losses?

Although it is said to be poison gas, Jiang Hua actually feels that it is not that simple.

If it was just poison gas, at least Zhang Qiling should be fine.

But Zhang Qiling also fell into a coma.

So Jiang Hua felt that there must be something powerful in this fourth floor.

Even starting from the fourth floor, the fifth floor, the sixth floor, and the top seventh floor, no one knew what dangers were inside.

But what is undeniable is that the immortal life that Jiang Chen mentioned before must be within these four layers.

On the contrary, Jiang Hua really wanted to see what that immortal life was like.
