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

Seeing that many of the piranhas around him had disappeared, Jiang Hua quickly turned around to see what was going on.

When Jiang Hua saw Shi Yun cutting her own finger to help them, she couldn't help but frown.

However, Jiang Hua did not express it directly, but simply pulled Qin Feng along to continue towards their destination.

With Yun's help, the three of them finally reached the shore.

The three of them lay quietly on the shore, panting heavily to recover their strength. They didn't want to talk for the time being.

"Yun, what are you thinking?! Do you know how dangerous these piranhas are?! If you're not careful, not only will you lose your finger, but you might even lose your life!"

Jiang Hua walked up to Yun in a fit of anger and loudly reprimanded her.

From the beginning, Jiang Hua told Yun to ensure her own safety first, so that Jiang Hua and Qin Feng could deal with the piranhas with peace of mind.

Qin Feng has now recovered.

“I know you mean well, but what you’re doing is really making us more worried. Besides, these piranhas are just as powerful as the piranhas we usually see.”

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng also discovered during the battle that these piranhas were much stronger than the piranhas they had seen before.

Moreover, their teeth are even harder, and Jiang Hua has no doubt that his weapon will be bitten through by these piranhas.

"I wasn't just standing there doing nothing, feeling embarrassed that I couldn't help you. Besides, it was just a small wound. As soon as they got close, I immediately pulled my finger back. And none of you saw how I got my blood in there!"

After being carried away by Jiang Hua and Qin Feng, Yun still felt a little aggrieved and explained to them.

Seeing Yun's aggrieved look, Qin Feng and Jiang Hua exchanged a glance, sighed, and stopped talking.

"Never mind, it's good that the three of us are alright."

Jiang Hua shook his head, indicating that he would not continue. Yun, who was next to him, also put on a smug expression and looked at Qin Feng, as if to tell Qin Feng that she had won.

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng immediately raised his fist to threaten Yun.

"But where is this place? How come there's a place that looks like the sea?"

They had gone underground, so how could there be such a scene underground? For a moment, they were somewhat skeptical of what they were seeing.

"This isn't an illusion, is it?"

As Qin Feng spoke, he rubbed his eyes and looked at what he was seeing in disbelief. At the same time, Jiang Hua squatted down and rubbed the sand under his feet.

After confirming that it was indeed real sand, Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown.

Although this place is like the sea, there is no sun overhead, and it is surrounded by walls.

But for some reason, the water here is like the ocean, with waves and wind.

As for where the wind was coming from, Jiang Hua and Qin Feng were completely baffled, not knowing where it was coming from. Jiang Hua walked to the side of the wall.

This took Jiang Hua quite a bit of time. He touched the wall next to him and found that it was made of a similar material to the glass-like thing he had seen before.

Jiang Hua was also a little scared, fearing that it would break again like last time.

"Don't touch these walls!"

Jiang Hua immediately turned to Qin Feng and Yun, reminding them. After all, if what happened earlier were to happen again, Jiang Hua wouldn't have the energy to deal with the two of them.

There seems to be something in the water.

Suddenly, Qin Feng spoke sharply to Jiang Hua, who looked towards the middle of the water where something resembling a coffin was lying.

After the water level dropped, the lid on top gradually became visible.

Jiang Hua couldn't help but squint and quickly returned to the shore. After taking a look, he couldn't help but speculate.

Jiang Hua first squatted down and touched the water.

After confirming that the water was safe, he slowly went inside and walked towards the center. Upon reaching the spot he had just been in, Jiang Hua lowered his head again to examine it.

At first glance, Jiang Hua noticed something below, but then he discovered that there was a stone platform underneath.

However, the scene in front of us doesn't look like it was originally filled with water.

After looking around, Jiang Hua eventually had to walk back to the shore because of insufficient oxygen.

Qin Feng and Yun looked at Jiang Hua expectantly, waiting for him to tell them what he had just observed.

"I suspect there must be a place where the water can be drained, and you can see that there is wind coming in here, which means there is an exhaust vent! As for this water, I suspect it has a certain cycle. For example, there is water now, but after a while, this water will flow to another place."

Jiang Hua's words left Qin Feng and Yun somewhat puzzled.

This is where coffins are placed, why let water flow in?

If water were to flow in, wouldn't it easily damage the body inside the coffin?

Therefore, Qin Feng and Yun were also somewhat skeptical of what Jiang Hua had just said.

“I know where you have your doubts, and I also have great doubts about what I just said. However, what I observed just now was indeed as I said: either there was nothing in this coffin, and it was just used to confuse tomb robbers, or it was used to insulate against humidity.”

The only answer Jiang Hua could think of was this: either the coffin was used to deceive other tomb raiders, waiting for them to open it, and then it would remain there forever.

Jiang Hua had just discovered that there were still some human bones below.

“There are many human bones underwater. I suspect they are the bones of tomb raiders, but there aren’t many bones, so I suspect the important ones are inside the coffin.”

Jiang Hua couldn't help but recall a book he had read before about something similar to a pitcher plant, waiting for the enemy to open the coffin lid.

Then, a scent will be emitted to confuse tomb raiders, causing them to fall directly into the coffin.

Inside the coffin were disgusting insects or the corpses of other tomb raiders, which were the food source for these insects.

"I remembered a book I had seen before."

When Jiang Hua mentioned a book he had read before, Qin Feng and Yun both raised their eyebrows, wondering why Jiang Hua had brought up the book they had read before.

"I suspect that what I saw earlier was something like a pitcher plant, emitting a scent and waiting for its prey to arrive. Once the prey touched its coffin, it would open its mouth wide and swallow the tomb raider whole."

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, Qin Feng and Yun quickly hugged each other and backed away, maintaining a certain distance from the person who had been there earlier. (End of Chapter)
