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

"That's not right!

How did this road change so quickly?

The road was straight before, so why has it suddenly become curved?

Jiang Hua was very puzzled.

The winding path looked rather irregular, but Jiang Hua still walked very carefully.

The path looked rather narrow and uneven, like a hole in the ground before an earthquake. It was loose when you stepped on it and could easily slip and fall in, so you had to be very careful when walking on it.

However, Jiang Hua did not dare to use his divine sense to investigate. After all, this was someone else's tomb, and if he found any traps or mechanisms inside, he would be in great danger!

This road looks very short, but in reality, it was five or six kilometers long before we reached the end of the tomb. After reaching the end of the tomb, a huge stone gate appeared before us.

Looking at the stone door, Jiang Hua couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Hua had never seen this stone door before. It looked very old and dilapidated. However, upon closer inspection, the stone on the door seemed to be made of a very special material.

It seemed to be something Jiang Hua had never seen before, and Jiang Hua didn't know what material it was made of.

The stone gate was forged from two pieces of black iron stone. These two pieces of iron stone looked somewhat like iron ore, but not quite, because they were carved with all sorts of patterns.

Moreover, the shapes of the patterns are very unique, including dragons, birds, and all sorts of other animal shapes.

These patterns are so lifelike, they seem to be alive.

What are these patterns used for?

Could the owner of this tomb have used these patterns to create this stone door?

Jiang Hua muttered to himself.

Then, Jiang Hua stretched out his palm and placed it on the stone door.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the stone gate, followed by waves of Yin energy surging towards Jiang Hua, enveloping him completely.

For a moment, Jiang Hua felt as if he was enveloped by Yin energy. Sensing the Yin energy, a look of surprise appeared on Jiang Hua's face.

"Such powerful Yin energy!"
These malevolent energies seem rather unusual.

Jiang Hua was secretly surprised.

Then, Jiang Hua didn't stand on ceremony and immediately activated the Yin Sha Qi within his body, gathering it all in his right palm. Then, Jiang Hua pressed down hard.

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist burst open, and a surge of malevolent energy rushed out from it. Then, under Jiang Hua's urging, the cloud of black mist instantly entered the stone gate.

As the black mist entered, Jiang Hua heard a rumbling sound, and then saw the top of the stone gate slowly recede to both sides, revealing a passage.

At the end of the passage, a large black door suddenly appeared.

The black door was three meters high and more than one meter wide, with various patterns carved on both sides, which looked quite elegant. When Jiang Hua took a closer look, he was immediately horrified.

Because the shapes of these patterns were exactly the same as those he had seen in his Heavenly Eye, yet they were also somewhat different, and even more mysterious.

These patterns are very intricate, seemingly forming a single, complex whole, and look like a flawless wallpaper.

"Could this be a painting?"

Jiang Hua thought to himself.

At this moment, Qin Feng walked over.

"This is indeed a large tomb. This tomb is definitely not simple. I just took a closer look and found that the structure of this tomb is somewhat like a formation."

"Moreover, the items placed in this tomb are all very exquisite."

Jiang Hua thought to himself, then his gaze fell on Qin Feng.

He knew that Qin Feng, who stood before him, was the very person he had come here for.

"Brother Qin, what do you think we should do? How do we find the entrance to this tomb? And how do we break the formation inside? The formation here is really complicated. Without a certain level of intelligence, it's impossible to get in." Jiang Hua pondered to himself, while his gaze fell on Qin Feng.

Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Brother Qin, is there some kind of rule here?"

Seeing Qin Feng's smile, Jiang Hua couldn't help but ask.

“Brother Jiang, you’re right. There are indeed many rules in this tomb, but they’re not very strict.”

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Jiang Hua asked.

Let me give you a detailed explanation first.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he explained in detail the rules of this tomb.

After hearing this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but secretly admire him.

"Brother Qin, there are really a lot of rules in this tomb, and they're quite strict!"

Jiang Hua said.

He knew that the most crucial thing in this tomb was the stone doors, but the stone doors were not so easy to deal with, because the things inside were very mysterious.

Some stone doors are very sturdy and difficult to attack, some are relatively easy to breach, and some have very weak defenses. Once attacked, one can directly break through the stone door and enter the tomb.

"Yes, there are indeed many problems in this tomb, and many people have tried to attack the stone door, but most of them have failed."

Qin Feng nodded, then looked at Jiang Hua: "Actually, the stone door in this tomb is extremely difficult to break through."

The two continued to observe the contents of the tomb, discussing them as they went.

“Brother Qin, the things in this tomb are very mysterious, but they are not too difficult for me. I have many methods.”

Jiang Hua suddenly said.

"Oh? That's quite strange. Brother Jiang, your array formation skills are very high. How could you possibly deal with the stone door in this tomb?"

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Hua in surprise and said.

"Hehe, to be honest, I am indeed very skilled in array formations."

However, I couldn't break the formation in this tomb. "So that's how it is. The difficulty here is too high, isn't it?" Qin Feng said, somewhat shocked.

"That's natural. These stone gates are formed by a special array. They contain extremely powerful energy. Moreover, each stone gate contains an array, and generally speaking, these arrays are very terrifying. That's why I couldn't easily break through these stone gates."

Jiang Hua nodded and said.

“I see. This place is indeed very dangerous. However, danger is always accompanied by opportunity. If we can find the entrance to this tomb, we might be able to obtain some treasures, or even the inheritance within.”

Qin Feng thought for a moment and then said.

"Yes, I think so too. If we can crack this tomb, we'll definitely find a lot of treasures."

Jiang Hua thought to himself, but a look of anticipation appeared on his face. "Brother Qin, I hope you can lead the way."

If I can find the entrance to this tomb, I will be able to pass through it smoothly.

"Okay, let's go now."

However, Brother Jiang, you must promise me that if you really can't break those formations, you will retreat immediately.

Don't force yourself.

“I understand,” Jiang Hua nodded.

Subsequently.

The two left the room and walked outside. (End of Chapter)
