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

"Alright, you two, stop looking at me like that. I'm fine, so let's not waste any more time and move on."

"I wonder if there are any other dangers in this group of tombs, but I feel that the Zombie King is definitely not the only one."

After saying this, Jiang Hua smiled and walked forward, reopening the passage that had been there before, the place where the vengeful spirits had rushed out. They hadn't had any passage before and thought they could only return the way they came.

But now it's clear that things are completely different.

Then, at that moment, Yun looked behind Jiang Hua and suddenly a black smiling face appeared, giving him a cruel laugh. The smile wasn't particularly sinister, but for some reason, it made Yun feel like a clown, sending chills down his spine.

Yun was about to follow Jiang Hua forward, but suddenly stopped in her tracks. Looking at Qin Feng beside her, who seemed to know nothing, Yun asked him curiously.

"Did you see those things on Jiang Hua's body?"

Qin Feng turned around and looked at Yun's puzzled expression. He couldn't help but shake his head; he really hadn't seen anything.

"There's nothing there. You weren't too mentally disoriented because you used up too much energy summoning the Thunder Giant, were you?"

Although Qin Feng was unaware of these problems.

Yun wasn't sure if he had expended too much energy before, but he felt that the black smiling face behind Jiang Hua was somewhat similar to the black-clad man who had possessed Jiang Hua before. Although he hadn't seen the other person's face, the aura was very similar.

"I hope so."

Jiang Hua and his two companions successfully reached their next destination through this passage. However, this destination seemed relatively safe, not as dangerous as the place where the Zombie King had been. Upon arriving at this empty room, Jiang Hua knew that this did not resemble a room.

Instead, it resembled a room built by ancient emperors for their burial companions. It was quite cramped, but for now, it seemed safe. Although I didn't see anything else, the bones scattered all over the ground said it all.

"It seems the previous zombie king was quite enjoying himself. He was just a prince, yet he wanted to create an emperor-like treatment for himself in this way. I have to say he was quite confident."

Qin Feng looked back and forth at the skeletons in front of him. Looking at the things covering them, he noticed that some of the clothes had not completely disappeared. Instead, they left behind valuable information to prove which dynasty they came from.

Qin Feng was very happy because at least there was no danger here now, which was their only refuge.

However, Yun felt that Qin Feng was thinking too simply. After all, he was still a little uneasy. Ever since he saw the smiling face behind Jiang Hua, he couldn't shake the image of her from his mind. He just felt...

It seems that more pressure may arise, and they must unite as one; otherwise, no single force will be able to extricate themselves from this crisis.

This is something they have no choice but to do, but it could also bring them new dangers. "I think there might be some problems with what you're saying. If the Zombie King was the mastermind behind all of this, then why wasn't he with these places before?"

"Instead, he was in another place, and although the place he was in before was relatively large, it didn't seem like the place a real emperor should live in."

Yun, he felt, was like a zombie king. If he was so ambitious in life, then when choosing these things to be buried with him, he certainly wouldn't have chosen such despicable ones.

Or rather, such an ordinary place and such commonplace things are laughable to them, let alone to someone as arrogant as the Zombie King, especially given his previous rampant behavior.

"Alright, alright, I think you two don't need to argue so much at this time. Anyway, these are things after death. We, as living people, have already given them enough face by coming to this place. Now let's think about how to get out of this place."

In fact, Qin Feng hadn't been arguing with Yun at all. When Jiang Hua stepped forward and said something that left him speechless, he couldn't say anything more.

They could only explore forward to see if there was anything that could give them some clues, since this place was still quite strange.

As Jiang Hua and his two companions walked forward, they suddenly noticed a white, transparent light flickering in a corner of what looked like an ancient room, a courtyard house.

When they saw that there was a light coming from this place, Jiang Hua and the other two were instantly excited, thinking that they were getting closer to the ground. However, when Jiang Hua led Yun and Qin Feng toward this place, they found that there was actually a luminous pearl in this corner.

Qin Feng immediately felt nothing.

"I didn't expect it to be a luminous pearl. I thought we had already reached the ground. It's bright here. I guess I was thinking too much."

Jiang Hua squatted down and looked at the huge luminous pearl in front of him, which was probably half the size of his head. He was quite shocked because the size was too exaggerated. Then he looked at it gently and reached out his hand, but did not touch the luminous pearl.

Instead, a white light emanated from his hand. This white light belonged to Jiang Hua's spiritual power. Upon touching the luminous pearl, it immediately shone brightly, illuminating the entire space.

"Alright, we can't determine where we are right now because of what happened today, so you two don't need to be so nervous."

"Some things can only be known after they happen, but for now, we still need to take them seriously."

"There might be other dangers here, so we need to find the zombie king we prepared beforehand, even though the power he displayed wasn't particularly astonishing."

"But what happened back then was too bizarre. If I'm not mistaken, the place they created must have been inhabited by those vengeful spirits who couldn't be reincarnated at that time." (End of Chapter)
