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

After the light enveloped the entire space for a few seconds, it disappeared completely. Jiang Hua was not surprised, because he had just sensed the most essential thing here, and this luminous pearl seemed to be helpful to his cultivation.

Because this luminous pearl originally belonged to these vengeful spirits, and was located in the area covered by these gathering places, but after those vengeful spirits were eliminated.

The energy emanating from this luminous pearl appeared extremely pure, and the light it emitted was not ordinary light, nor was it merely for illumination.

These rays of light helped Jiang Hua to further refine and solidify the energy within her body, though she didn't know what would happen next.

However, they must be extremely cautious in this place. No one can be sure whether what they encounter next will be good or bad. Jiang Hua also has no way of knowing whether he will be able to gain an advantage in this place.

"The light has disappeared?"

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Hua, who simply stretched out her hand, and the radiance emanating from it enveloped the luminous pearl, causing the pearl's light to completely disappear. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, but then Jiang Hua recounted the benefits the luminous pearl had brought.

Qin Feng couldn't help but nod. He didn't blame Jiang Hua for keeping the luminous pearl for herself, because in his opinion, if it weren't for Wang Hua, they might have been completely devoured by the vengeful spirits long ago.

Although Jiang Hua successfully absorbed the energy of the luminous pearl.

Yun couldn't sense any other changes in Jiang Hua's body, but at that moment, he felt uneasy, as if something terrible was about to appear.

Just as he opened his mouth to express his unease, the surroundings suddenly began to shake, wave after wave crashing towards them, and even the walls on both sides began to crack, spreading out like a spider web.

"Rumble"

"Oh no, this place is going to collapse!"

Jiang Hua hadn't expected a landslide to occur here, but the path behind them was practically cut off. He and Yun Qinfeng could only continue forward, when they saw a strange passage ahead. This was the place where the earthquake had begun and the collapse had started.

Upon seeing it appear before them, Jiang Hua didn't hesitate and led Yun and Qin Feng straight inside. Yun, though somewhat puzzled and feeling that the appearance of this thing was rather strange, couldn't stay any longer since Jiang Hua and Qin Feng had already rushed in.

The passage was extremely long, and no one knew exactly how long it was. Jiang Hua, Yun Qinfeng, and the other two were already panting heavily from running.

It had probably taken almost several hours. Afterward, Jiang Hua used his spiritual power to completely dispel the fatigue from his body and finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"I don't even know where we are now. We don't know how long we've been running. Even using spiritual power, I can't restore the fatigue in my body."

Qin Feng's spiritual energy wasn't as exaggerated as Jiang Hua's. Although they had already identified the problem, they still needed to make other preparations before fully understanding it. The current situation indicated the danger they faced. Despite this, Jiang Hua wasn't as focused as before, as he was currently observing his surroundings. It was pitch black, and he had just lit a fire.

Looking around at the walls, he noticed some strange patterns carved on them. Although he had never seen these patterns before, he felt that they represented something bad.

"Yun, you have a deeper understanding of these things. Why don't you take a good look at what this thing really represents?"

Jiang Hua watched as Yun frowned, facing the patterns illuminated by the firelight he had lit. His expression changed, knowing that Yun must know something about these patterns. So he wasn't too shocked, but instead asked Yun to analyze them.

What exactly is it? This will give them an advantage in this unfamiliar place. Otherwise, if they don't understand this place at all, they'll be like blind men, completely clueless. What will they do then?

Living in this world, one must be careful and make many plans when facing a completely unfamiliar environment. If one cannot make good plans, then one's understanding of this place will become very regrettable.

It's unlikely that anyone would speculate too much about their current preparations, since some things in life can only be seen with one's own eyes.

Only then will they know what it really means; otherwise, it's just speculation, and the final impact could very well defeat them.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a hall of offerings."

However, as they watched Yun for nearly an hour, although Jiang Hua and Qin Feng were also analyzing the situation, they felt that this problem might be more complicated than they had previously thought. But at the same time, Yun seemed to have already figured it out.

Having expressed his thoughts, Jiang Hua had already made some guesses after looking at these patterns. Although he didn't have any records of these so-called things like Yun, he seemed to have guessed a certain possibility.

"Actually, I guessed it when you said it. The patterns depicted on these images seem to suggest that they are offering themselves as a sacrifice."

"It's like an offering to some ancient ferocious beast; that thing on it looks like a Qilin."

"But the black aura emanating from above, if I'm not mistaken, is definitely an evil entity, and it can't be like a Qilin."

It should be noted that the Qilin is a sacred beast, a holy object used to suppress evil, and also represents something supreme, although it is not as exaggerated as the five-clawed golden dragon.

However, it is also often used by the owners of those tombs to suppress certain things, so that they can live well after death and continue to fulfill their duties in life.

However, the problems that had occurred with the Zombie King had plunged Jiang Hua into deep suspicion. Although the zombies the Zombie King had dealt with looked very strange, for some reason, Jiang Hua felt they weren't things controlled by the Zombie King. (End of Chapter)
