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

"Phew." As soon as he stepped out the door, Jiang Hua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He had just sensed a suffocating aura emanating from the depths of the tomb.

The atmosphere was so oppressive.

"Brother Qin, if you can help me break these formations, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Jiang Hua then said.

"I understand that, since we are friends."

Then I won't stand on ceremony with you; I'll do my best to help you.

Qin Feng laughed.

"Haha."

Jiang Hua burst into laughter. He knew that Qin Feng was genuinely trying to help him, and he felt very pleased and grateful.

"Let's go, let's head to the entrance of the tomb now."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward.

Jiang Hua followed closely behind Qin Feng, and the two walked forward together.

Soon after, Jiang Hua discovered that Qin Feng had led her to the front of an underground cave.

"Brother Qin, is this the place? This seems to be just an underground passageway," Jiang Hua said with some doubt.

"That's right, this is indeed just an underground passage, but it's far more sophisticated than any passage on the surface. Moreover, there are many more array formations within this underground passage."

Qin Feng explained.

"How do we get through here? Do you need my help?"

Jiang Hua looked around and said that he also sensed that there were strange formations set up on the walls all around.

"You don't need to trouble yourself with that. If needed, I can open the tomb directly. I'll take you there now. Please wait a moment."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, he stretched out his hands, and two black throwing knives flew out from his sleeves.

In Qin Feng's hands, the two throwing knives instantly transformed into a giant scythe about ten meters long.

He cut a large hole in the surrounding walls, and then Qin Feng, holding a huge scythe, slowly walked forward.

"Brother Qin, is the formation here really that powerful?"

Jiang Hua looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.

“Indeed, Brother Jiang, the formations here are all extremely powerful.”

However, I'm not invincible, so you'll have to rely on yourself. But I will help you; after all, we're friends. If anything happens to you, I'll definitely be worried, because this place concerns my life, and I absolutely won't stand idly by!

Qin Feng said decisively, and at the same time turned to look at Jiang Hua.

Seeing this, Jiang Hua was also somewhat moved.

By saying this, Qin Feng was clearly telling Jiang Hua, "If you are in danger, I will definitely help you."

"Alright, Brother Qin, thank you. This time, let me lead the way for you!"

Jiang Hua then nodded and said.

"Alright, in that case, let's set off now."

As he spoke, Qin Feng immediately swung his huge scythe and slashed it fiercely at the stone wall in front of him.

Boom.

A large hole was immediately cleaved in the stone wall.

The two then quickly entered the cave.

Upon entering the cave, Jiang Hua saw a vast and open space in front of him.

At this moment, Qin Feng was standing next to a large rock, his two sickles still stained with blood.

"Brother Jiang, this is the entrance to the tomb."

Qin Feng said, "Here is a huge circular stone platform with ninety-eight stone pillars on top."

Each stone pillar is three feet wide, ten feet long, and over nine hundred meters in diameter. These stone pillars are all very thick and appear to be dozens of meters tall.

Each stone pillar emitted a faint white light.

"Oh? This place seems to be more than it appears."

Jiang Hua looked at the two sickles in Qin Feng's hands, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Then she couldn't help but say, "Such a thick stone pillar must be very hard."

"Brother Qin, may I take a look?"

"Sure. Please go ahead, Brother Jiang."

Qin Feng nodded.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua immediately came to Qin Feng's side, and then reached out and carefully picked up a stone pillar.

"Ouch, it's so hard!"
It's incredible that such a thick stone pillar doesn't have a single crack.

Jiang Hua looked at the stone pillar in his hand and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Brother Jiang, not bad, right?"

Seeing Jiang Hua's surprised expression, Qin Feng smiled and said, "The power contained in this stone pillar far exceeds my expectations."

These formations are far more powerful than those on the ground; they are not only defensive but also offensive.

"Um?
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Jiang Hua was taken aback. "So many formations?"

"Indeed, there are hundreds of formations here, each with powerful destructive force and immense strength."

"Brother Qin, the formation here is indeed somewhat strange."

I think that with so many formations combined, it must be an extremely powerful treasure.

How could such a treasure have ended up here? Could it be that the owner of this tomb deliberately placed it here?

Jiang Hua asked.

"I don't know. But I don't think the owner of this tomb would be a fool; he would never do such a thing."

I suspect that the existence of these formations might be some kind of special restriction.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment before speaking.

"A restriction? Could these formations be related to that mysterious restriction?"

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Jiang Hua's face also showed a look of shock.

"That's right, the existence of these formations is related to restrictions, because they are themselves very profound restriction formations."

These restrictive formations are incredibly powerful, but I've never witnessed their power before, so I don't know just how terrifying they are.

Once we enter the tomb, we'll find that the entire tomb is filled with rich spiritual energy, which will greatly enhance the speed and efficiency of cultivation here.

"I see."

Jiang Hua nodded, understanding dawning on her.

"Brother Jiang, you stay here and keep a close watch. I'll go in and investigate first."

"Brother Qin, please be careful. If you encounter any danger, use this stone talisman immediately, and I will arrive as soon as possible."

"Alright, Brother Jiang, don't worry."

Qin Feng nodded, then his figure flickered and disappeared from Jiang Hua's sight.

Qin Feng, are you planning to venture here alone?
Doing this is far too risky.

However, Jiang Hua did not try to dissuade him.

In his opinion, since Qin Feng had decided to try it out on his own, then let him give it a shot.

Moreover, in Jiang Hua's view, although Qin Feng is a martial artist, his strength is not weak at all.

If he were to venture here alone, there might be danger, but if Qin Feng has Jiang Hua with him, there won't be any problems.

In this way, Jiang Hua can stay behind Qin Feng and protect him to prevent him from suffering unnecessary dangers.

Thinking this, Jiang Hua stood quietly in place, observing the surrounding situation. (End of Chapter)
