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

Chapter 118: Spiritual Fruit Tree, Guardian Monster
Jiang Hua's face also looked a little ugly. It seemed that the secret of Zhalong Village was far beyond their imagination.

Anger flashed across Hu Bayi's eyes, he could no longer hold back.

Hu Bayi had been a soldier, so naturally he couldn't bear to see these things happen.

"Jiang Hua, when do we start?"

"I'm afraid they really want to use people as sacrifices."

"Should we stop them now?"

Jiang Hua shook his head and said calmly: "Now is not the time. We need to find out the secret behind Zhalong Village."

"Otherwise, even if we stop them now, this kind of thing will still happen in the future."

"Only by finding out the reason and understanding why Zhalong Village did this can we find the right remedy and completely solve this problem!"

After everyone finished eating the raw beef.

Continue to kneel on the ground and pray.

It seems like they are begging their ancestors to bless them.

The night gradually passed.

It was dawn, and the village chief, who was holding a skull-shaped cane, had a gleam in his eyes.

He stood up and said in a deep voice: "Men of Zhalong Village, the sacrificial ceremony that takes place once every seven years has finally come again."

"Everyone get ready, we are heading to our ancestral land."

"Yes!"

The villagers around responded.

Soon some of the villagers at the scene shed tears.

A group of big men tied up the old man in the shroud with ropes, and then carried him to the back mountain of Zhalong Village.

There was a gleam of light in Jiang Hua's eyes.

"It's finally starting."

"Let's go and follow them."

"See what they want to do?"

Jiang Hua and the other four were all warriors, so they made basically no sound when walking in the jungle.

They followed the crowd from Zhalongzhai.

We arrived at the back mountain of Zhalong Village.

This is a strange land.

There were cow heads hanging everywhere on the trees.

There are also incense sticks burning.

Smoke was rising.

Everyone placed the old man's spirit tablet in front of a grave.

Then he knelt down respectfully.

Then they continued to carry the old man and came to a small river. The river was not big.

About ten meters wide.

The bamboo raft had already been prepared by the river.

The crowd tied the old man to one of the bamboo rafts and tied up his body.

The old man in the shroud opened his eyes wide, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes, but he did not speak.

The village chief pointed his skull-shaped cane forward.

"Everything is ready!"

"Let's go to our ancestral land again!"

"Down to the river!"

Everyone moved the bamboo raft into the stream.

In the jungle.

Jiang Hua frowned slightly.

If it enters the river, how can they track it?

The fat man also asked: "Jiang Hua, what should we do now?"

Suddenly Jiang Hua had an idea and came up with a solution.

He said to everyone, “All of you enter my storage space.

Shirley Yang and others were a little confused.

But he didn't say anything.

They all entered the storage space.

Jiang Hua took advantage of everyone's inattention and threw the Red Dragon Order, right next to everyone's luggage.

As for Jiang Hua himself, he quietly entered the internal space of the Red Dragon Order the moment it was thrown out.

Jiang Hua’s method is very simple.

That is to hide in the storage space and let the people from Zhalong Village take them to their ancestral land.

As the owner of the Red Dragon Order, Jiang Hua can naturally sense what is happening outside in the storage space.

Jiang Hua told everyone about this method.

Shirley Yang couldn't help laughing.

"Jiang Hua, you can even come up with this idea."

However, only Jiang Hua could sense what was happening outside.

Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Fatty, they could only listen to Jiang Hua's story.

outside.

At the order of the village chief.

The bamboo raft began to move downstream.

Everyone stood on the bamboo raft in silence.

Ada was among them.

He sighed, holding a bow in his hand and a quiver on his back.

He is the most famous archer in Zhalong Village.

With his bow and arrow, he killed countless prey.

At this time, a young man walked up to Ada.

"Brother Adada, why do you think we should use Fourth Grandpa as a sacrifice?"

"Can't we just sacrifice some cattle and sheep?"

"To use humans as sacrifices is to be a beast!"

Ada sighed, shook his head and said, "Tie Niu, you are still young and have not experienced the last sacrificial ceremony. You don't know what this is like."

"If we don't sacrifice people, the whole village will suffer a disaster."

Tie Niu said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

"Could there be something else that could kill so many of us?"

Ada sighed.

"This is the curse of our Zhalong Village."

"Brother Adada, what on earth is this?"

Ada hesitated for a moment and said, "You just need to know that this is the fate of our Zhalong Village."

Jiang Hua heard it clearly in the storage space.

His face looked ugly.

"It really is a human sacrifice."

“Who are they sacrificing to?”

"God? Or a monster?"

Questions one after another arose in Jiang Hua's mind.

And on the not-so-distant Zhalong Mountain.

The Huo family and their group finally arrived at the place where the spiritual fruit was discovered.

Tian Hongyue looked at a place not far ahead.

There was a lush green plant with seven bright red fruits on it.

It looks very appetizing.

Tian Hongyue sensed it and was immediately surprised.

"Haha, this really is a spiritual fruit tree."

"Our Huo family has become rich. There are actually seven spiritual fruits here."

"With these seven spiritual fruits, our Huo family can create at least seven warriors!"

For these families.

The birth of a warrior can continue the family's glory for decades.

Hearing Tian Hongyue's words, Huo Wen'an's face also showed great joy.

"Uncle Tian, ​​that's great."

"We actually found seven spiritual fruits."

Tian Hongyue said cheerfully: "Xiao An, it's a pity that you didn't practice martial arts, otherwise you might have obtained a spiritual fruit."

It was really worth their visit this time.

Tian Hongyue said happily: "Bring the jade box here, I want to pick it myself."

Soon someone took out some jade boxes.

These jade boxes were prepared in advance.

However, only big families like the Huo family know that the jade box can ensure that the effect of the spiritual fruit will not be lost.

Tian Hongyue walked towards the spiritual fruit.

Suddenly, a fishy wind blew out.

Tian Hongyue sensed the crisis in his heart. Without any hesitation, he rolled over and hid to the side.

boom!
The moment Tian Hongyue dodged.

Where he was originally standing, a huge snake's tail had created a big hole.

If Tian Hongyue had been a little slower just now.

I'm afraid he will turn into a pile of minced meat.

"What is this?"

Tian Hongyue was shocked.

Suddenly, everyone exclaimed.

An extremely huge snake appeared before them.

This big snake is at least twenty or thirty meters long.

Its width is about three or four meters.

"Guardian monster!"

Tian Hongyue's face looked very ugly.

He had never seen any monsters around the spiritual fruit tree before, and he thought that there were poisonous insects everywhere in Zhalong Mountain, so the monsters didn't dare to stay here.

Unexpectedly, this spiritual fruit tree really has a guardian monster.

Tian Hongyue glanced at the spiritual fruit tree.

He gritted his teeth.

"So what if I guard the monster?"

"I am a first-class warrior, and there are so many guns around me, am I still afraid of a big snake?"

These seven spiritual fruits are worth tens of billions.

At this point, no one will give up easily.

"Everyone, join me in attacking this beast!"

Tian Hongyue shouted.

Bang bang bang!
When everyone heard the order, they immediately raised their guns and started shooting at the snake without saying a word.

The bullets hit the scales of the giant snake.

However, something unexpected happened.

Ding Ding Ding!
The bullet hit the scales, making a sparking sound, and then was knocked away.

There was no impact on the snake.

Seeing this scene, Tian Hongyue's pupils shrank.

Isn’t the defense of this big snake too strong?
Even bullets can’t penetrate it?

Then he is just a first-grade warrior, so doesn't that mean he can't even break the defense?

The big snake was finally enraged.

Its diamond-like eyes flashed blood red, and then it suddenly rushed towards everyone.

"Ahhhh-"

Screams continued to sound.

One by one, the members of the Huo family were cut in half by the giant snake.

Tian Hongyue was furious and took out a big knife, wanting to rush forward to attack.

However, when the sword hit the scales, only a few blood marks appeared, and not even fresh blood flowed out.

Tian Hongyue jumped back without saying a word.

He grabbed Huo Wen'an and shouted, "Everyone, run quickly. As many as you can run!"

He himself rushed up a big tree.

He dodged and moved around on the trees, and fled for his life with Huo Wen'an into the distance...

The river is gurgling.

There is fog floating on both sides of the river, which makes the scenery look quite different.

This has gone deep into the depths of Zhalong Mountain.

Several small bamboo rafts floated downstream, and the people of Zhalong Village stood on the rafts with solemn expressions.

Looking around vigilantly.

Suddenly a cave appeared in front of us.

The village chief of Zhalong Village looked at him intently and said, "Everyone, be careful. We have already reached the water pig bee cave. Let's not disturb them."

"Village Chief, we understand."

Everyone nodded.

They have lived here in Zhalongzhai for generations.

Naturally, I know how terrifying the water pig bee is.

The bamboo raft gradually sailed into it.

The water in the cave flows very fast.

Everyone was struggling to support the raft.

So that it won't be washed away by the current.

Suddenly, they drove into a cave.

Seeing this scene, the young man named Tie Niu suddenly showed a trace of fear.

"This, what is this?"

I saw a number of mummies hanging on the ceiling of the cave. These mummies were wrapped in clay and looked a little scary.

Ada couldn't help but comfort him: "Tie Niu, don't be afraid, these are human figurines, they have died a long time ago."

The village chief next to him also said: "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't touch these human figurines, nothing will happen."

Tie Niu trembled and said, "Village, village chief, what should we do if we encounter these human figurines?"

The village chief holding a skull-shaped cane said in a deep voice, "That's the water pig bees that have been disturbed. We will all die here."

Tie Niu suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.

at the same time.

In the storage space of the Red Dragon Order, Jiang Hua observed everything outside.

After seeing these human figurines, he couldn't help but frown.

These terracotta warriors appear to be at least two thousand years old.
