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

Jiang Hua walked to the top of the tomb and looked into the darkness ahead. He saw huge luminous pearls hanging in the air above the tomb, shimmering with a cold, eerie light in the darkness.

"How did these luminous pearls appear?" Jiang Hua asked Qin Feng, looking at the luminous pearls above with a puzzled expression.

"This... I don't know either, I've never seen it before," Qin Feng said, shaking his head.

"Yes, you said earlier that you had only recently entered this place."

"Ok!"

“Then this should be the center of the tomb,” Jiang Hua said.

Qin Feng nodded.

"If this is the place, then the owners of these tombs, who are also the owners of these flying insects, must have been buried here as well?"

Jiang Hua continued.

"That shouldn't be it!" Qin Feng quickly shook his head and said.

"This tomb, although it looks similar to the other tombs, is not as huge as the others here. This tomb should be the largest one in this group. There are definitely no tombs this big here!"

"Oh, if that's the case, then the owners of these tombs are probably not just flying insects. This explains their identities; their strength should be greater than these flying insects, perhaps even more formidable!"

Jiang Hua analyzed.

“Yes, that’s true. I thought of that too, but we can’t be sure yet. We’ll know once we get to the top and take a closer look. It’s too early to talk about this now,” Qin Feng said.

Jiang Hua remained silent, and the two of them walked together toward the top of the tomb in tacit understanding. However, as soon as they moved, they immediately stopped.

They suddenly felt the tomb beneath their feet begin to tremble, and the entire tomb began to shake violently.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng immediately felt the tremors beneath their feet. The tomb shook violently, and the entire tomb began to sway, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"what 's wrong?"

Jiang Hua was immediately alarmed and hurriedly retreated, shouting, "Qin Feng, retreat quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng quickly retreated. The ground where they had just been standing suddenly collapsed, burying them.

The two were buried deep in the ground and immediately found it difficult to breathe. Their bodies began to sway uncontrollably. The terrain here was very steep, and the two were in a terrible predicament.

The two struggled, but to no avail; they couldn't break free. The ground here seemed to be made of some kind of metal material, and it was incredibly hard.

They both used all their strength, but they couldn't budge it in the slightest.

The power of Qin Feng and Jiang Hua had absolutely no effect on these metal materials. Even when they unleashed their full power, the steel materials remained completely unmoved.

"What should we do?" Qin Feng's expression changed.

"I'll give it a try," Jiang Hua said resolutely.

"Okay, then give it a try." Qin Feng nodded.

Jiang Hua kept saying "let's try," which showed that he was confident. Qin Feng also had a lot of confidence in himself, believing that Jiang Hua would definitely be able to break through the soil here.

Without further ado, Jiang Hua began experimenting, attempting to break open the soil. He started trying to disrupt the soil's internal structure, but after several attempts, he realized he had been incredibly naive.

He actually thought he could destroy the outer layer of soil with brute force? That's just a pipe dream, it's simply impossible.

After trying it out, Jiang Hua finally gave up and started experimenting with other things instead.

"What do you think would happen if we dug a hole here?" Qin Feng suddenly thought of something.

"Dig a hole?" Jiang Hua was taken aback, then asked with a smile. "You mean dig in the dirt?"

"Hmm." Qin Feng nodded and said, "The soil here is extremely solid. With the strength of just the two of us, it would be very difficult to break through it. If we can find a mechanism, perhaps we can open the soil here."

“You’re right, the soil here is indeed very firm. If I were to dig, I would absolutely be unable to break through the soil here, unless I also have a divine artifact.”

“Otherwise, it would be impossible to open the soil here; the soil is just too firm,” Jiang Hua said.

"Okay, let's go look for the mechanism first. If we can find it, maybe we can break through the soil here," Qin Feng nodded.

"Okay, let's hurry and find the mechanism, otherwise we'll be stuck here forever. We must leave as soon as possible," Jiang Hua said.

"Yeah." Qin Feng nodded.

The two immediately sprang into action. They scanned their surroundings and carefully examined the area, finding nothing amiss.

There's nothing special here, just an ordinary mountain wall, nothing unusual.

The two continued onward, encountering many tombs along the way, but these tombs contained a considerable number of skeletons.

"Hey? Look over there!" Qin Feng, with his sharp eyes, noticed a stone tablet prominently displayed on the wall directly opposite them.

There were small characters engraved on it, and Qin Feng looked at them carefully for a while.

Qin Feng found this character very familiar. The character "小" seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite remember where.

"This character seems familiar." Qin Feng frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

"You've seen it?" Jiang Hua was taken aback and hurriedly walked over there. There was a lot of dirt on the ground in that area. He reached out and picked up the stone tablet.

He looked at it carefully, but after a long time, Jiang Hua still couldn't recognize the character carved on the stone tablet.

"You said you've seen this character before?" Jiang Hua asked Qin Feng with a puzzled look. He remembered that Qin Feng had never been to Earth before, so why would Qin Feng know these small characters?
"Hmm, I have indeed seen this character before, but I can't remember where I saw it right now. Perhaps I've seen it somewhere before. We should find the mechanism first, otherwise we could easily be suppressed by the soil here, and then we'll be in trouble."

Qin Feng shook his head.

"Okay, let's keep looking ahead." Jiang Hua didn't think much of it.

The two then resumed their journey.

The two walked for about ten minutes without finding anything.

"What should we do? There's nothing here!" Qin Feng said anxiously.

"Don't worry, there might be a trap here," Jiang Hua comforted her. (End of Chapter)
