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

Jiang Hua stared intently at the map on the stone wall, examining it carefully. He discovered that although the map was simply drawn, the names and fonts on it were exquisitely crafted, indicating that it was definitely not an ordinary object.

"Who drew this map? And why is it here?" Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown. He felt that the name of this tomb must be something special!
Jiang Hua secretly guessed to himself.

Thinking about this problem made Jiang Hua feel a little depressed.

Jiang Hua has yet to decipher this tomb, because it contains a very complex tomb layout!
No matter what method Jiang Hua used, he could not decipher or crack all the drawings on the map, because the map was too complicated and each drawing was done with a very ancient brush.

The painting technique is extremely exquisite, and ordinary people simply cannot paint like this. This ancient style of brushstrokes is clearly the work of ancient craftsmen. Even if an ordinary person has studied the craft for more than ten years, they would absolutely not be able to paint such a picture.

Judging from this, the owner of this tomb was no ordinary person in ancient times, but a very skilled craftsman. These paintings are a testament to his craftsmanship!
The more Jiang Hua pondered, the more he felt that the owner of this underground palace was definitely not simple. Otherwise, how could the map of this tomb be so ancient, and how could the terrain of this underground palace be so complicated? The construction methods of these tombs were even more complicated!
"Could the owner of this tomb be a craftsman? And is this tomb the residence of the owner?" Jiang Hua wondered to himself.

"What's going on here? This place feels like a graveyard to me."

At this moment, Jiang Hua's thoughts were pulled back.

Jiang Hua searched carefully on the map and finally found the entrance to the tomb. The entrance to this underground palace was in front of a stone tablet with three large characters engraved on it: "Mausoleum".

"A cemetery? How can the entrance to a tomb be a cemetery? Could the tomb's owner be the tomb itself?"

Jiang Hua was startled again, realizing this possibility.

"Who exactly is the owner of this tomb?"

Jiang Hua was puzzled, thinking, "But judging from the appearance, the tomb here is buried in a very large burial pit. So, the owner of this tomb is the tomb master. But who exactly is the tomb master?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this tomb must have been a very skilled craftsman. He must have passed down many knowledge and skills throughout his life. He left many secrets in the tomb and also left behind some treasures."

"The owner of this tomb must have been an extremely skilled craftsman!"
Moreover, his tomb must hold many secrets.

"His tomb must contain many precious treasures."

"No! I must enter this tomb and explore it to see if there are any treasures inside."

Jiang Hua thought to himself, then turned to Qin Feng and asked, "I'm going in to explore, are you coming?"

"Enter the tomb? Explore?" Qin Feng was taken aback, looking at Jiang Hua with some surprise, and said, "Mr. Jiang, are you really sure you want to go in?"

"Absolutely, definitely, and without a doubt! I've confirmed it; this tomb must contain a vast amount of treasure, and I absolutely must go inside."

Jiang Hua nodded.

Hearing Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng felt somewhat helpless. He wanted to dissuade Jiang Hua, but seeing her resolute expression, he sighed inwardly. He knew Jiang Hua's personality; since Jiang Hua had made up her mind...

There was no point in saying anything more, and judging from Jiang Hua's current state, he was unlikely to change his mind, so he didn't say anything more, but simply said to Jiang Hua.

"In that case, I will accompany you into this underground palace. I hope we can find some clues inside and perhaps uncover the secrets of this underground palace."

Jiang Hua nodded slightly after hearing Qin Feng's words.

Qin Feng continued, "If there really is such a clue, that would be best, as I could follow the trail to find the exact location of this underground palace."

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Then let's go." The two continued to walk deeper into the tomb. Along the way, they encountered some tombs with burial chambers, but none of them showed any interest to Jiang Hua.

After all, the things here are all inanimate objects, which have no meaning to Jiang Hua. However, Jiang Hua did not give up. After all, there is a possibility of finding many good things here, and he has no need to waste his time.

At this moment, Jiang Hua's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, there's something there." Jiang Hua spotted a dark, gritty object on the ground in the distance, which seemed rather odd.

"Hey, there's something here."

Jiang Hua's eyes lit up.

Jiang Hua immediately walked over quickly, bent down and picked up the dark stone from the ground.

After picking up the black stone, Jiang Hua examined it carefully and found that it was very heavy, pitch black, and seemed to have no luster at all, just like black iron ore.

However, this stone exuded a strong aura of yin energy, which was very strange. However, this strong aura of yin energy did not make Jiang Hua feel any danger.

Instead, Jiang Hua felt a touch of gentleness, which surprised her greatly.

"Could there be some mysterious power hidden inside this dark stone?"

Jiang Hua secretly guessed.

Jiang Hua then activated his Heavenly Eye, peering through the dark, black stone. Instantly, a strong aura of Yin energy rushed towards him.

"Huh? This black stone can actually release such a dense aura of yin energy?"

Jiang Hua was immediately taken aback.

He had been so focused on the stone in his hand that he hadn't taken a closer look at the black stone.

Only now did Jiang Hua realize that this black stone actually contained a strong aura of yin and evil.

"What exactly is this thing? Did the owner of this tomb also have a similar dark stone?"

Jiang Hua thought to herself, and a sense of anticipation began to rise within her.

However, all of this is still unknown, so Jiang Hua didn't think about it too much for the time being.

Although the black stone was very heavy, Jiang Hua's Heavenly Eye could see through it and into its interior, so he wasn't worried, only a little curious.

He thought that if one day this black stone could turn into silver or gold, such a treasure would be far more valuable than any diamond or jade!
The two then continued deeper into the tomb.

Along the way, Jiang Hua kept a close eye on the surrounding scenery, observing the situation at the same time.

After walking for an unknown distance, Jiang Hua suddenly sensed something different ahead. The road was no longer straight; it had become winding and twisting. (End of Chapter)
