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

"Shua."

Jiang Hua suddenly drew his peach wood sword, flicked his wrist, and a sword aura shot directly at the zombie. It was extremely fast and pierced through the zombie's chest in an instant.

With a soft "plop," it pierced directly into the zombie's chest.

"Ah!" A shrill scream came from the zombie. The zombie, whose chest had been pierced by the peach wood sword, was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground, creating a large crater.

Jiang Hua seized the opportunity and threw a handful of glutinous rice over. Immediately, the zombies that were nailed to the stone wall let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground.

They rolled on the ground, emitting painful groans. As they rolled, they smashed through the row of stone walls, causing them to fall down.

One by one, the zombies nailed to the stone wall fell to the ground, screaming in agony and convulsing. Their pale faces were filled with rage.

"Haha, good, you can all die! You all have to die!" Jiang Hua was overjoyed at the sight and laughed loudly. He quickly helped Qin Feng up and pulled him aside.

"Phew, that was close." Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, secretly relieved.

Qin Feng's situation was similar. Just now, Qin Feng almost thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, he survived. Although he was injured, his life was not in danger.

"These zombies are really something else. They managed to break free from my talismans and were still burned to death by the fire in an instant." Jiang Hua was somewhat surprised.

In Jiang Hua's hand was a golden talisman, the very same talisman he had used to deal with the zombies before. It was a very powerful fire talisman.

He only managed to refine four or five talismans at a time, but now they've all been used up. As for the remaining three golden talismans, Jiang Hua hasn't found a suitable person to refine them yet, so he has to give up on them for the time being.

"Let's rest for a bit, and go back after all the zombies in the tomb have been burned to death."

Jiang Hua said that it has now been confirmed that all the zombies in the tomb have been wiped out, so Jiang Hua has nothing to worry about. He knows that it is better to be cautious now.

After all, this tomb is full of traps.

Afterwards, Jiang Hua and Qin Feng sat down to rest for a while before heading back the next day.

"Qin Feng, are you alright? Are your injuries serious?" At this moment, Jiang Hua turned to look at Qin Feng and asked.

Qin Feng's face was pale, and he looked very weak. Jiang Hua felt quite sorry for him when she saw this.

These zombies are really too difficult to deal with. Qin Feng's physical condition is not very good. It is already quite impressive that he has been able to hold on until now.

"I'm fine," Qin Feng said, shaking his head.

“I’m so glad you were able to escape alive this time. I’ve witnessed your strength firsthand. I know you’re much better than me, and I’m completely convinced. You’ve also helped me a lot. From now on, I, Qin Feng, will follow you wherever you go.”

Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback when he heard Qin Feng's words. He was touched. The fact that Qin Feng could say such a thing meant that Qin Feng sincerely wanted to follow him, which made Jiang Hua very happy. He knew this in his heart.

Qin Feng is a good friend and worth befriending.

"Qin Feng, don't worry. Once we get out of here, you'll still be you, and I'll still be me. No matter what, I'll still be me. You'll always be my brother, and we'll always be good brothers."

Jiang Hua stretched out his arm and patted Qin Feng on the shoulder.

"Mm." Qin Feng nodded heavily. Both of them showed a knowing smile.

"By the way, Qin Feng, I'm a little confused. When we encountered zombies before, they didn't seem to attack us. Why have they suddenly become so ferocious this time?" Jiang Hua couldn't help but ask.

“I also find it strange.” Qin Feng frowned and said, “But it should be related to the mechanism I triggered earlier.”

He glanced at Jiang Hua with some guilt and said, "Just now I..."

"Alright, this isn't your fault. Nobody expected something like this to happen. Those zombies were truly terrifying. If we hadn't been prepared, we might have been in trouble too. But it's all in the past now, it doesn't matter," Jiang Hua said, waving his hand.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.

"Thank you. It was really dangerous just now. If you hadn't come to save me in time, I would definitely have died in there," Qin Feng said with some emotion.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua smiled and said, "We're like family, why are you thanking me?"

Night fell quickly. The underground was very deep and therefore very cold, so Jiang Hua and Qin Feng huddled together for warmth.

In this pitch-black place, the two dared not move, afraid of bumping into the stone wall beside them. So they remained vigilant, constantly watching their surroundings to prevent any further mishaps.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hua was also secretly observing the surrounding environment.

The tomb was very spacious and very deep, and it was unknown where it led.

At night, the temperature inside was extremely low, and the air was filled with a chilling cold. Jiang Hua felt a bone-chilling cold, as if he were in a frozen winter world. He couldn't help but miss the ground. The environment inside was indeed too harsh.

After sitting for a while, Jiang Hua and Qin Feng both gradually felt sleepy.

Jiang Hua slowly closed her eyes and began to sleep.

He is feeling quite tired and needs a good rest to recover his energy and strength.

Qin Feng was in a similar situation. Although he did not suffer any major injuries, he was still mentally exhausted, especially since he was constantly attacked by ghosts in the tomb.

Therefore, the mental exertion is enormous, and I am feeling drowsy now.

Time passed slowly, and the night grew darker.

In the darkness of night, a full moon shone brightly in the sky, its gentle light illuminating the two of them and casting soft, silvery-white rays that made them appear somewhat holy.

At this moment, a rumbling thunder suddenly came from a rock not far from Jiang Hua and Qin Feng. The sound was very deep and abrupt in the silent underground abyss.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng immediately tensed up, opening their eyes wide and looking at the distant rocks.

"It's a zombie!" Qin Feng's nerves tensed up immediately. His gaze was fixed on the distant rocks, and his expression became extremely serious. He said, "Let's go quickly."

Jiang Hua nodded immediately, stood up, and with a swift movement, flew towards Qin Feng's side. Qin Feng immediately followed closely behind Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng ran swiftly towards the distant rock, their speed incredibly fast. (End of Chapter)
