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

Jiang Hua stepped forward and touched the wall with her hand.

"This wall contains mercuric acid from ancient alchemy stones. If you actually break through this wall, the mercuric acid that sprays out could easily kill us here."

Jiang Hua turned her head and glanced at Lao Wang indifferently, then continued to look at the wall.

Qin Feng and Yun, who were standing nearby, gasped in shock.

What is sclerosing acid used for?

Old Wang scratched the back of his head, looking at Jiang Hua and Qin Feng with a puzzled expression. They were talking.

“What can he do? He can burn our skin off, and he could probably turn all the fat on your body into ashes in an instant. If you want to lose weight, I'll grant your wish.”

Qin Feng glared helplessly at Lao Wang, then took a few steps back to keep a certain distance from him, as if to signal Lao Wang to go up and smash the wall.

When Old Wang heard this, his lips twitched slightly; he had never imagined that this thing could be so terrifying.

Qin Feng and Chen Le, on the other hand, watched Jiang Hua cautiously.

After all, they had also thought that they should just smash the wall down, but now, after hearing what Jiang Hua said, they glared at Old Wang in the same way Jiang Hua did.

Now that Old Wang knows how ruthless this wall is, he has quietly restrained himself.

"If we can't break down this wall, how else can we get through?"

Chen Le stepped forward and touched the wall, discovering that it truly had no gaps whatsoever.

It would be quite difficult for them to create a gap by piercing the wall with a knife.

But just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Jiang Hua pulled out a brick to everyone's surprise.

"Just pass it like this."

Jiang Hua said calmly, while throwing the brick to the other side.

Old Wang and Qin Feng, who were behind them, were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.

Especially when Chen Le saw Jiang Hua demonstrate his strength up close, he even wondered if what he had just seen was a movie.

"Are you even human...?"

Chen Le took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from Jiang Hua.

It was as if the person in front of him was no longer Jiang Hua, but a ghost that had taken on Jiang Hua's appearance.

"Take out your old equipment, absorb the mercuric acid, and then we'll break through this wall. Otherwise, we don't have any other way to get through."

Jiang Hua didn't bother to answer Chen Le's question.

Seeing Jiang Hua's appearance, Chen Le didn't say much and silently took out tools from his equipment.

Because Chen Le also knew that doing more is worse than talking more.

Then, as everyone can see, as Chen Le pressed the switch, some foul-smelling liquid appeared in front of everyone.

Qin Feng and Lao Wang quickly avoided the liquids to prevent themselves from coming into contact with them.

After all, they had just learned how terrifying these liquids were.

"Could we collect these liquids? In case we encounter tomb raiders later and they try to do something bad to us, we can use these liquids to threaten them."

Qin Feng glanced at the flowing liquid and, feeling a little reluctant, asked Jiang Hua.

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Jiang Hua shook her head firmly.

"These things can hurt others, but they can also hurt us. You'll hurt yourself as well as others. Do you really want to use this method?"

Hearing what Jiang Hua said, Qin Feng sighed and decided not to persist any longer.

He knew that continuing would be pointless. After suctioning away the liquid, Jiang Hua stepped forward. "Let me do it!"

At this moment, Old Wang angrily pulled out tools from his backpack and smashed them hard against the wall.

Just when everyone thought the wall was going to collapse, it remained intact.

It seems that Old Wang only touched it lightly just now.

"Wasn't it easy for you to pick up the brick just now?"

Old Wang glanced at the undamaged wall with a slightly embarrassed expression, then turned to Jiang Hua and asked. Jiang Hua's lips twitched slightly at Old Wang's reaction.

"I'll do it."

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, he continued to smash the wall.

However, the angle and the place where Jiang Hua hit the object were completely different from those of Lao Wang.

It's clear that Jiang Hua had also considered where to smash it.

Although Jiang Hua didn't appear as fierce as Lao Wang, cracks appeared in the wall as soon as Jiang Hua smashed it.

This made Old Wang, who was standing next to Jiang Hua, look at him in disbelief.

After all, Jiang Hua's smash just now looked like it was just a light tap.

However, the fact that the wall has cracked proves that Jiang Hua really used a lot of force just now.

"I don't think I would survive if Jiang Hua punched me."

Seeing Jiang Hua's expression, Qin Feng wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Jiang Hua with a helpless expression, saying...

Hearing Qin Feng say this, Jiang Hua acted as if he hadn't heard it and continued to swing his weapon at the wall.

As Jiang Hua smashed down, it rose and fell.

The wall slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Soon, a passageway appeared.

"Come on, let's go in."

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, he dusted himself off and led the group forward as if nothing had happened.

What they saw next was even more shocking.

They initially thought that what they would see next would be exactly the same as where they had just been – just a long tunnel.

But the enormous lake in front of them made them wonder if they had actually made it out of there.

They quickly rubbed their eyes to make sure they weren't seeing things.

"Are we still inside the tunnel?"

Old Wang turned his head in disbelief to Qin Feng and Chen Le beside him and asked.

Chen Le and Qin Feng nodded somewhat reluctantly after hearing what Old Wang said.

According to their understanding, there shouldn't be any lakes appearing inside the tunnel.

"No wonder this Stele Valley is so legendary; it seems there's some truth to it."

Jiang Hua snorted lightly, not thinking there was anything wrong with it. As he spoke, Jiang Hua walked forward to the side of the lake.

"Jiang Hua, don't get too close! What if it's some kind of terrible liquid again!"

Chen Le quickly reached out to stop Jiang Hua, to prevent her from getting hurt by getting close to the lake.

However, after hearing this, Jiang Hua lowered her head and continued to smell the lake.

"This water is just normal salt water; if you have to call it that, it's seawater."

"seawater?"

Qin Feng and Lao Wang were even more surprised when they heard Jiang Hua say that it was seawater.

It's important to know that this place is quite a distance from the sea, and it's surrounded by nothing but mountains.

Transporting seawater here is no easy task.

"should be."

Jiang Hua nodded, then picked up a stone from beside him and threw it into the center of the lake.

As the stones were thrown in, Old Wang, Qin Feng, and the others realized that the lake was likely deeper than they were both tall. (End of Chapter)
