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

Chapter 242 Big Octopus, Eight Spirit Formation

The bronze door opened, and a smell of decay emanated from inside.

Apparently, because there had been no air flowing in there for a long time, a rotten smell was produced. After feeling it for a moment, Jiang Hua knew that the gas was non-toxic, so he felt relieved.

"Haha, the tomb door is open!"

Fatty Wang said happily.

Jiang Hua put the jade pendant away. This thing was the key to obtaining the snake mother's inner elixir. As long as he had the jade pendant in his hand, Jiang Hua could obtain all the spiritual energy of the snake mother's inner elixir at any time.

Jiang Hua was just about to lead them inside when he heard a rustling sound.

"There's something!"

Jiang Hua's heart moved and he stepped back!

Sure enough, the next second.

A tentacle that looks the same as the previous one, but it is countless times larger than the previous one!
The tentacle almost occupied the entire entrance of the bronze door!
"What the hell! What the hell is this?!"

Fatty Wang, Hu Bayi and others were so frightened that they kept backing away, looking at the black tentacles in horror.

Jiang Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.

This thing must be the tentacle of a giant squid!

The tentacles rushed out of the bronze door and swept towards Jiang Hua on the spot.

Jiang Hua snorted coldly and pulled out the Kunlun knife behind him to avoid the squid's tentacles.

The squid's tentacles hit the ground, and the floor immediately cracked.

Jiang Hua had already jumped up and slashed the squid's tentacle with a knife.

With one knife, it breaks off.

"Ow~"

A shrill cry came from inside the bronze door.

The broken tentacles spurted out large amounts of black "ink".

The remaining tentacles quickly retracted.

Jiang Hua landed on the ground, put away his knife, and took a look at the huge tentacle that was still jumping on the ground.

"Oh my god! Is there an octopus in there? How come its tentacles are so big?"

Fatty Wang asked.

Jiang Hua said: "This is a squid, let's go in."

Fatty Wang said, "This...should we still go in? Will there be any danger inside?"

However, Jiang Hua and others ignored him and walked into the bronze gate.

Hu Bayi said, "Let's go, Fatty. Didn't you see the blow from Master Jiang just now? If that squid dared to show up, Master Jiang might have chopped off his head.

After saying that, Hu Bayi walked straight in.

As for Chen Wenjin, she had already followed.

"Wait for me!"

Fatty Wang shouted and hurried to follow.

Everyone walked into the bronze gate and came to a palace made entirely of bronze.

"Oh my god! This is definitely the most powerful Ming Palace I have ever seen!"

Fatty Wang shone a flashlight inside, and everyone could see the situation in the Ming Palace clearly.

In the middle of the Ming Hall is a huge bronze coffin, and rows of bronze artifacts are displayed around it.

Most of these bronze artifacts are ritual instruments and the like. Each one is very large, almost taller than a person. It is almost impossible to take one away.

Chen Wenjin walked up to the bronze artifacts, stroked them carefully, and couldn't help saying, "These things are all precious treasures, but unfortunately... there is no way to take them out."

Fatty Wang also said, "Yeah, it's a pity we can't take it out, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives."

After following Hu Bayi for so long, Fatty Wang also knows that these bronze artifacts are absolutely priceless treasures. If he could make one of them and sell it for a sky-high price.

He had tried it just now, and he could only move the smallest bronze ware with difficulty. How could he take it out?

It would be better to call a crane.

Jiang Hua shook his head. He had no intention of studying these bronze artifacts. The most urgent task was to find the location of the Wind Qilin.

"Where did the squid go?" Hu Bayi asked curiously.

Jiang Hua pointed upwards.

Everyone thought the squid was on top, so they looked up vigilantly.

However, they discovered that there was a layer of black "ink" on the ceiling, which spread all the way and disappeared into a passage.

Obviously, the squid had already run into that passage, which was also the only exit of the Hades Palace.

Jiang Hua walked to the huge coffin and stared at it carefully.

He discovered that the bronze coffin was covered with reliefs, and the reliefs looked like unicorns!

These Qilins are different from the Thunder Qilins, Fire Qilins, and Water Qilins that Jiang Hua had seen before. Apart from looking similar, there is a layer of wind under their feet, as if they were walking on the wind.

This should be the Feng Qilin.

"What is this beast on top of it? Why does it look a bit like something out of this world?"

Fatty Wang asked curiously.

Hu Bayi said: "This is the auspicious beast Qilin."

Fatty Wang: "Oh, it's a Qilin. Is the Qilin the totem of their Hate Heaven Kingdom?"

No one answered him, so Fatty Wang could only ask again: "Do you think the person buried in this coffin is the king of the Kingdom of Hate?"

Jiang Hua said: "The Hades Palace has been the most important place since ancient times. It is the place where the tomb owner is buried. If nothing unexpected happens, the person buried in this coffin should be the King of Hate Heaven. But I am a little confused. If... the King of Hate Heaven is buried here, why don't we see any bronze statues guarding it along the way?"

Everyone was stunned and thought of Jiang Hua's doubt.

This is true.

Generally speaking, the tombs of important figures such as kings should be accompanied by statues of soldiers to indicate their status.

Like Qin Shihuang, he directly prepared more than 8,000 terracotta warriors and horses to be buried with him.

And this ruler of the Hateful Kingdom doesn’t even have any statues of soldiers?

Something is obviously wrong.

Fatty Wang said directly: "Oh, Master Jiang, maybe the king is indifferent to fame and fortune, and feels that since he is already dead, there is no point in making those empty things, so he didn't make the statue. Let's open the coffin quickly."

Jiang Hua was speechless.

If he was really a ruler who was indifferent to fame and fortune and didn't want to engage in useless things, would he have built such a large bronze palace as his own mausoleum?

However, Jiang Hua also shook his head and didn't think too much about it.

No matter what the reason is, Jiang Hua is not afraid anyway. Even if there is any conspiracy, it will have no effect on him.

Jiang Hua found the mechanism of the bronze coffin, pulled the trigger, and prepared to open it.

However, at this moment, the sound of mechanisms turning was heard again from all around!
With a loud "boom", a huge bronze door fell down and closed the entrance to the Ming Palace!

"what happened?"

Hu Bayi was startled and looked around vigilantly.

When they saw that the exit had been blocked, their faces changed and they rushed over to take a look, only to find that the thing was as heavy as a thousand pounds. They wanted to lift it up, but found that it didn't move at all.

Immediately, the faces of Hu Bayi and the other two turned ugly.

However, Jiang Hua and the other two looked normal.

There's no need to make a fuss about this kind of situation.

"Boom~"

Another huge bronze iron block fell down, blocking the squid's escape route!
"It's over! We are in trouble now!"

Fatty Wang looked dejected.

However, the conspiracy is not over yet.

There were constant "grunt grunt" sounds all around, the ground began to shake, and then the ground against the walls on all sides collapsed, and then one bronze statue after another emerged from the ground!

Soon, the bronze statue froze, and everyone looked and found that it was actually eight bronze statues of Qilin!
this.
It turned out to be eight bronze statues of Qilin!
Could it be that this Qilin is the guard of the King of Hate Heaven?
No wonder he had no guards, it turned out that he had eight bronze unicorn statues as guards! Seeing this, Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi and the other two hurriedly came to Jiang Hua and the others.

They all knew that the appearance of these eight bronze statues must be extraordinary, and they would only feel safe when they were next to Jiang Hua.

"This is the Eight Spirit Formation!"

Jiang Chen said with a serious expression, "It is said that the Eight Spirit Formation is formed by the souls of eight identical spirit beasts. It is extremely powerful. Once it appears, it will not let anyone go easily."
