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

"Jiang Hua! I can't go on anymore, please come and help me quickly! It's been two hours, and the sun is almost setting."

Qin Feng also chose to ask Jiang Hua for help, but Jiang Hua continued to keep her eyes closed as if she hadn't heard him. After resting for two hours, Jiang Hua had recovered her strength.

"Don't pretend you didn't hear me. I know making a ladder is no problem for you. Hurry up and help, or we won't be able to get out tomorrow. You know we don't have anything to eat right now."

Hearing that there was no food, Jiang Hua finally opened her eyes and looked up at Qin Feng.

"Forget it, I'm here. If you guys are going to leave, we probably won't be able to get out tomorrow." Qin Feng had almost finished sawing the wood, and Jiang Hua stepped forward and took out a rope from his pocket.

And this rope is the same rope they saw inside earlier.

Looking at the rope Jiang Hua had taken out, Qin Feng and Yun couldn't help but wonder what Jiang Hua was going to do with it. But Jiang Hua quickly gave them the answer.

Jiang Hua shaved the wooden stake into planks about half an arm's length long, and then tied them with rope.

A retractable ladder quickly appeared in front of Qin Feng and Yun with a swift stroke of Jiang Hua's knife.

The whole process only took twenty minutes.

"Why didn't you tell me your method earlier?"

Qin Feng, standing to the side, curled his lip and said to Jiang Hua with obvious disdain.

But Jiang Hua just smiled when she heard that.

"If you find me, just follow Jiang Hua. I've found that following you not only won't get you any meat, but it's also very likely that you'll waste your energy."

Yun also showed a disgusted expression at this moment, and said to Qin Feng in front of her. Hearing Yun's disgust for him, Qin Feng was deeply shocked and lay down on the ground.

“You’re not useless, come on, help me out. Go find a stone and tie it with a rope, I need to throw this stone out.”

Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng immediately got up from the ground, picked up a piece of rope of varying sizes from the side, and then took out another rope and tied it to the stone.

At this moment, Qin Feng discovered that the rope was not long enough.

"It seems we don't have enough rope. What should we do? We didn't bring out enough rope."

Qin Feng scratched the back of his head and said with a melancholy look, while Jiang Hua and Yun realized that the rope was almost used up and there was not enough left to throw the stone.

"I have a solution: tie up all this grass around here! That's how you make straw rope!"

Yun immediately raised her hand, looking excitedly at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng.

"Looks like our rhyme is still somewhat useful. Let's start looking for grass to weave into ropes!"

Jiang Hua patted Yun on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction.

At this moment, Qin Feng became even more frustrated. The fighting spirit that had been hard-won was instantly extinguished by Jiang Hua's words.

"Can you give me some praise too? I managed to cut such a big log into that shape, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to finish this ladder in twenty minutes, right? Even though I didn't do any special work, I still put in a lot of effort!"

Seeing Qin Feng's expression, which was like a child seeking praise, Jiang Hua thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Qin Feng did a good job; he can even whittle wood!"

Jiang Hua's praise made Qin Feng freeze on the spot, looking at Jiang Hua with great disdain, while Yun next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I think the compliment was excellent!"

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I'd better get the rope ready and sell these treasures. I can't wait to sell them!"

Qin Feng snorted lightly, as if to tell Jiang Hua and Yun that adults don't fight with petty people.

The three of them quickly found enough grass together.

"done."

Yun clapped her hands and said with a smug look on her face.

"This stone is for you to run away from here. If you can't even do this right, all the work we did just now was for nothing." Jiang Hua said, handing the stone to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng looked at the stone in his hand and couldn't help but tense up.

He knew, of course, that if the stone wasn't thrown properly, it could very well throw the ladder out with it.

"Don't worry, it's just a stone. I'll be fine."

Just as Qin Feng was about to throw the stone, Jiang Hua noticed a water bottle next to him, which had a curved shape like a hook.

"Wait, don't throw it yet!"

Qin Feng was completely dumbfounded when Jiang Hua called him to stop.

"Don't you believe me?"

Qin Feng said to Jiang Hua with a hint of disdain.

However, after hearing this, Jiang Hua did not respond to Qin Feng directly, but instead came to the side of the pile of treasures.

"I think using a hook might be better, since throwing stones would likely pull the ladder out of the way."

As Jiang Hua spoke, she pulled off the two hooks next to the kettle right in front of Qin Feng and Yun, and Qin Feng and Yun couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"If this item sells, it could buy a car..."

It was too late for Qin Feng to extend his hand, so he silently withdrew it.

"Getting out is more important, after all, these other treasures are quite valuable as well."

"That pot is more valuable..."

But Qin Feng only dared to mutter these thoughts to himself.

With two hooks, Qin Feng felt his success rate had greatly increased.

"This hook doesn't feel secure enough."

So, it seems that the weight of this hook might be enough to support Yun's weight, but it might be a bit difficult for the weight of two big men.

"Can we use those iron gates we came across before?"

Yun pointed to the iron gate next to her. Although Jiang Hua had cut a hole in the gate, it was still mostly intact.

"let me see."

As Jiang Hua spoke, he walked to the iron gate and touched it.

"This iron gate is much better than those two hooks."

Jiang Hua said with great satisfaction.

As Jiang Hua spoke, he pulled out his weapon from his pocket again. At this moment, Qin Feng and Yun looked at Jiang Hua as if they had seen a mountain of gold and silver.

"I think your weapon is quite valuable. Why don't you sell it to me? I'm willing to give you all the treasures I got today."

"You think you can trade all this stuff for my weapon? You're being naive. I absolutely won't trade this weapon. You'd better just throw this thing away."

Jiang Hua also urged Qin Feng.

Hearing Jiang Hua's urging, Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Jiang Hua, but still obeyed Jiang Hua's order and threw the hook to the other side.

However, because he didn't quite get the strength right the first time, he smashed it directly against the wall, and with a clang, the hook fell down again.

This prompted Yun and Jiang Hua to show expressions of disgust upon seeing it. (End of Chapter)
