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

Mo Li stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Hua.

"If it wasn't destined, then you probably wouldn't have come here, right?"

Jiang Hua looked up at the sky which was slowly getting darker.

"Who knows? Maybe it's destined by God. Otherwise, no one knows where I will travel to. It may be another place, and I won't meet you."

Mo Li smiled and said nothing, but continued to work.

After a long time, Jiang Hua slowly fell asleep on Duoduo's body.

Mo Li was about to call him, but when he saw Jiang Hua sleeping, he didn't say much and just sat there quietly doing what he was supposed to do.

Only after knowing that Mo Li had prepared the meal did he wake up Jiang Hua.

"Brother Jiang Hua, Brother Jiang Hua, get up and eat."

Jiang Hua slowly woke up and looked at Mo Li with a puzzled look.

"Hmm? Morning?"

After hearing this, Mo Li took two steps back and started to make fun of Jiang Hua.

"Hahaha... How could it be morning? It's just getting dark."

Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li in confusion.

"So now?"

Mo Li lay on the edge of the bed and looked at Jiang Hua.

"Nonsense, eat. If you don't want to eat, just lie on the bed."

Jiang Hua slowly got up from the bed, looked at Mo Li, and then yawned loudly.

"Ha... wake up and eat, or you'll starve to death here."

The two of them walked outside slowly.

Jiang Hua walked outside and stared at the roasted suckling pig with shining eyes.

"Oh, it's not bad, roast suckling pig. I didn't expect you could make this."

Mo Li bent his waist again and looked up at the sky. "Of course not, don't you look at who I am?" Jiang Hua smiled inexplicably.

"Hahaha, that's not Xiaoli, an all-rounder who can do everything, hahaha."

When Mo Li heard this, he became even more arrogant and raised his head high to look down at Jiang Hua.

"It's good to know."

Jiang Hua smiled, then touched Duoduo's head and looked at her kindly.

"Look, Duoduo, you have followed the master for so many years, but he is so arrogant. I think you should stop following him for a while. Just follow me from now on."

Duoduo suddenly pushed Jiang Hua down and licked Jiang Hua's face.

Mo Li was watching this scene from the side and lowered his head to look at Duoduo.

"Hey Duoduo, we've been together for such a long time, and you're leaving the team just because of someone you've only known for one day?"

Duoduo got up from Jiang Hua, walked to Mo Li, and rubbed her body against Mo Li.

"Aren't you going with Brother Jiang Hua? Go ahead, go away. We don't need you anymore." Duoduo lay beside Mo Li, like a wronged child.

Jiang Hua stood up and explained to Mo Li.

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding. Duoduo should be the same."

Mo Li raised his head and looked at Jiang Hua who had a serious expression on his face.

"I know. I am just cooperating with you."

Jiang Hua stared at Mo Li in a daze, then paused for a while and looked at Mo Li again.

"Good boy, you are indeed an all-rounder, your acting is so beautiful."

Mo Li smiled.

"No, you said I'm an all-rounder. How could I not even know how to act?"

After saying that, Mo Li squatted down, touched Duoduo's head, and comforted Duoduo.

Then the two of them sat on the ground, eating and looking at the stars in the sky.

"Huo, the scenery is beautiful today. The will-o'-the-wisps in the forest also set off the scenery. I haven't seen such a scenery for a long time."

Jiang Hua admired the scenery beside him and sighed from time to time.

Mo Li held his chin and looked at Jiang Hua.

"You can see this kind of scenery very often, almost every night. Duoduo and I usually enjoy it near the halfway point of the mountain. Sometimes when the weather is hot, we sleep there. It's especially cool."

Jiang Hua listened to Mo Li's past, just like a kind old father listening to his daughter talk about the past.

Then Jiang Hua suddenly remembered to go to the place halfway up the mountain.

"Why don't we go there today? It's a good opportunity for me to appreciate the scenery there."

Mo Li thought for a moment and looked at Jiang Hua.

"Well... okay, since you want to go I'll go today, but I have to finish my meal and clean up afterwards."

Jiang Hua, who had just nodded, suddenly thought of what Mo Li said in the woods today.

"wrong."

Mo Li tilted his head and looked at Jiang Hua.

"Huh? Is there something wrong?" Jiang Hua looked at the sky.

"Where is the hungry wolf you mentioned?"

Mo Li waved and looked at Jiang Hua.

"Yes, there are hungry wolves, but that place seems to be a blind spot. No hungry wolves dare to get close to it."

Jiang Hua stroked his chin and looked at Mo Li.

"Oh~ I didn't know there was a blind spot here, and it's right on the hillside, it's really a good place."

Mo Li smiled aside.

"I'm pretty familiar with this place, and I usually don't have anything I want to do so I just wander around, and then Duoduo and I found the place."

Jiang Hua's stomach growled. Then he smelled the roasted suckling pig in front of him and couldn't help but feel hungry.

"I have to say, this roast suckling pig is really delicious."

Mo Li smiled and looked at Jiang Hua.

"Okay, Brother Jiang Hua, if you want to eat, just eat. After you finish eating, take a rest and then we'll set off."

Jiang Hua became even more excited after hearing this.

"Okay, everything is up to you.

After saying that, he directly pulled off the pig leg and started eating.

Mo Li laughed again as he watched this scene, then he took a knife and cut off a piece for Duo Duo, and then Mo Li started eating it as well.

After a long while, Jiang Hua lay on the ground to rest and looked at the sky. Although this place was not bad, he was still looking forward to the halfway point of the mountain that Mo Li mentioned.

Jiang Hua stood up and looked at Mo Li.

"Let's go?"

Mo Li slowly stood up, stretched and looked at Jiang Hua.

"Since you want to go so much, then go now. I'll go call Duoduo."

Mo Li turned around and called Duoduo, who hurriedly ran over from the house.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go to the middle of the mountain."

Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li.

"You don't have a weapon? What if a few hungry wolves show up on the way?"

Mo Li waved confidently and looked at Jiang Hua.

"Well, now that you've said that, it should be fine."

Mo Li nodded.

"It's not a blind spot. It's nothing."

Jiang Hua felt that there was no need to persuade him any further, so he just agreed.

"Forget it, forget it. Since you've said that, there's no need for me to persuade you anymore."

Then the three of them slowly walked towards the middle of the mountain.

When they were almost halfway up the mountain, Jiang Hua looked down and saw groups of hungry wolves coming out of the forest.

"Is that the hungry wolf?"

Mo Li looked over as Jiang Hua realized it.

"Yes, that's the hungry wolves. They appear in groups and never alone. The older they are, the bigger they are. And the leader of the hungry wolves usually walks in front and leads the pack."

Jiang Hua nodded.

"It seems to be the same as in the old world. The wolf leader is always at the front. This is the same. But what's with this thing where the older you get, the bigger your body becomes?"

Mo Li then explained to Jiang Hua.

"Well... the biggest one is about the same size as Duoduo now. The hungry wolves change their leaders every once in a while, so they won't be too big."

Jiang Hua nodded.

"It looks the same."

Mo Li looked at Jiang Hua in confusion.

"Brother Jiang Hua, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Hua looked at Mo Li and explained to Mo Li.

"The hungry wolves here are the same as the wolves in my original world, but the difference is that they don't change leaders very often."

Mo Li nodded.

"It seems like your world is somewhat different from this one. I suddenly have expectations for your world. I really hope I can go and see it one day."

Jiang Hua smiled beside him.

"Okay, when I find something, if you want to go, I can take you there."

Mo Li stretched out the little finger of his right hand and held Jiang Hua's fingers.

"We agreed that if you find the thing, you will take me to your world."

Seeing Mo Li's smile, Jiang Hua's heart melted, and he smiled back at Mo Li. (End of this chapter)
