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

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Hua: "Kid, what should we do now?"

"Wait!"

"Wait? Wait for what?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

"Wait for the flying insects to retreat."

Jiang Hua answered with a smile.

"Wait for them to retreat? When will that be?" Qin Feng asked curiously.

Jiang Hua smiled but remained silent.

Qin Feng was taken aback.

Then it dawned on her that Jiang Hua planned to wait until the flying insects left before going out.

this is a good idea.

However, there are so many of these flying insects that it would be difficult to drive them away if they were just allowed to retreat. After all, the temperature here is too high.

However, since Jiang Hua had this idea, he could only cooperate.

So the three of them stood quietly in place, waiting patiently.

Time passed by, second by second.

Finally, when the three of them ran out of patience and could no longer wait, the flying insects finally left.

After the flying insects dispersed, Jiang Hua and the other two immediately rushed outside.

As the three fled, they looked back and saw that the dense swarm of flying insects had vanished without a trace, and they had no idea where it had gone.

Jiang Hua and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.

"My God, these flying insects are absolutely terrifying." Qin Feng patted his chest, still shaken.

"Weren't you scared too?" Jiang Hua said with a smile.

Qin Feng smiled wryly: "Yeah, I was almost scared to death."

Lin Yun said with a smile, "Alright, let's hurry up and run away before they catch up."

"Yes, that's right. Let's run quickly so we don't get caught." Jiang Hua nodded, and then the three of them sped up and ran forward.

After running a long way, the three of them stopped.

"Phew, we finally made it out," Qin Feng said, panting.

"Yes, that was really terrifying, it was so close!" Lin Yun said, panting.

"Yes! I was really scared to death!" Lin Yun said the same way. She hadn't expected these flying insects to be so powerful; they were simply terrifying.

Jiang Hua smiled slightly: "It's alright, they didn't catch up, did they?"

“But there are just too many of them!” Qin Feng said.

Jiang Hua shook his head: "Don't worry, don't worry. These things won't bother you anymore. You can get some rest now. We'll continue to go deeper tomorrow, so you don't need to worry."

"Okay." Qin Feng nodded; he was indeed tired.

Jiang Hua then looked at Lin Yun beside her: "You should rest too! These things won't happen again, there's no need to be nervous."

Lin Yun nodded and relaxed, but at the same time became a little worried, since her physical strength was too weak.

The three of them lay down quietly and began to rest.

After resting for a while, the three continued on their way. This time they wouldn't encounter any danger, but they would be more careful.

They encountered no further danger along the way, which relieved Jiang Hua and the other two.

They continued onward.

Time flies like an arrow, and a day quickly passed. Perhaps because the tomb was too large, it took Jiang Hua and the other two two days to walk through half of the tomb.

After they had traveled for so long, it was nighttime, the darkest time of day. The night was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. There were no lights, and everything was completely dark; they couldn't see anything.

In the darkness, the three could only see each other's faces and could not talk to each other. Fortunately, it was not too dark, so at least the three could still see each other.

The three walked around, observing their surroundings. The area wasn't very large.

The three walked for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at a tomb. This was a relatively large tomb, much larger than the one Jiang Hua had reached earlier.

"We've arrived. This is the tomb, the second one," Jiang Hua said.

"The second tomb?" Lin Yun asked in confusion.

“Yes, that’s right, it’s the second tomb. The places I went past before were just ordinary tombs, but this is a super giant tomb,” Jiang Hua explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun nodded. She could understand why Jiang Hua said that.

"What could be here?" Lin Yun asked curiously.

“We’ll find out once we go in,” Jiang Hua said, and then he took the lead and walked into the tomb.

Lin Yun and Qin Feng exchanged a glance and then followed them into the tomb.

The tomb was very dark, and none of the three could see anything. They could only rely on their hearing to identify their surroundings.

Jiang Hua glanced around.

Inside the tomb, apart from some luminous pearls embedded in the stone walls, there were only rows of skeletons.

The bones were piled up like mountains, and at a glance, there were countless of them.

"These people were all killed by flying insects. They devoured their bodies and then refined them into nutrients for the insects, which is why they became stronger and stronger." Jiang Hua looked at the corpses in front of him.

Qin Feng nodded: "Indeed, flying insects can not only attack from the air, but they can also devour human bodies in the dark. That's truly terrifying!"

After looking around, Jiang Hua went to the other side to take a look.

What they saw were skeletons, but there were far fewer skeletons than the flying insects they had seen before.

Jiang Hua also noticed this, and he was immediately delighted. He felt reassured that the flying insects hadn't eaten enough and wouldn't continue to hunt them down; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many skeletons left behind.

"These people all died a year ago, or even longer."

“I know that,” Qin Feng said. “This tomb is very large, and there should be a lot of treasures inside.”

“That’s right, but this treasure has probably been snatched up by someone else. I don’t know who got it, but that’s not important. What’s important is that there are a lot of good things here,” Jiang Hua said.

Qin Feng nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with what Jiang Hua said.

The two arrived at a tomb, where the situation was even more horrific. There were almost no corpses left, only the remains of flying insects, piled up on the ground, which was extremely glaring, shocking, and unbearable to look at.

"What is this?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.

Jiang Hua smiled slightly: "This is the nest of these flying insects. However, this time, we seem to be luckier than them. We didn't encounter any other flying insects. Otherwise, we might not have been able to come out alive."

"In that case, we're quite lucky. Don't worry, let's keep going. As long as we don't encounter these flying insects again, we'll be able to finish exploring this tomb."

Qin Feng smiled slightly and said.

"Let's go."

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng nodded.

The three of them walked together into the tomb, their goal being the very top of the tomb.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng were both very much looking forward to it.

The tomb is at the highest point, and at the very top, perhaps there will be some treasures, but of course, that hope is very slim.

"I'll go in and investigate first," Jiang Hua said.

"Then be careful," Qin Feng cautioned.

"Okay!" Jiang Hua nodded, then stepped towards the top of the tomb. (End of Chapter)
