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

Chapter 168 Chen Wenjin, ghost town appears!
"Don't even think about it!"

Anding Zhuoma said coldly: "Don't think you are something!"

However, Jiang Hua said, "I didn't ask you, why are you talking so much?"

As he spoke, he walked up to Chen Wenjin and whispered a few words in her ear. Chen Wenjin's face changed and she looked at Jiang Hua in surprise and suspicion.

"Okay, I'll go in with you!"

Chen Wenjin gritted her teeth and agreed to Jiang Hua.

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Jiang Hua in disbelief.

I go!

What's the situation?
She actually agreed to Jiang Hua?

Wang Banyue couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Master Jiang, you are amazing!"

And Anding Zhuoma's old face became extremely ugly. Chen Jinjin's personal promise could be said to be a slap in her face.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Chen Wenjin smiled.

Jiang Hua smiled calmly, and then said: "Everyone, take a break and go in early."

Two hours later, a group of seven people walked into the canyon in the rain, passed through many canyons, and arrived at the rain forest.

In the rainforest, even when it was raining heavily, it was still extremely hot and stuffy. There were all kinds of rotten tree roots everywhere, and strange poisonous insects that could not be named were crawling on the tree roots, which made people terrified.

The jungle in this basin is obviously a tropical rainforest. It is very troublesome to travel through it, even more troublesome than the primitive forest that Jiang Hua and his companions had encountered in Zhalong Mountain. They have to cut the vines around them as they walk and force their way through.

However, not long after entering the rain forest, after walking about less than a mile, the rain became heavier and heavier, so heavy that everyone could hardly see the road ahead.

Wang Banyue said: "Master Jiang, let's find a place to hide from the rain. It's raining too hard!"

Jiang Hua looked around and said, "Okay, there's a big tree over there that looks like it can shelter us from the rain."

So, the group hurried to the big tree.

This big tree has lush leaves and each branch is unusually wide, which can provide shelter from the rain.

Wang Banyue cursed: "Damn it, the Queen Mother doesn't want us to enter her territory. It's raining so hard, it looks like there's a hole in the sky."

As he spoke, he wiped the water off his face and looked around, and then he saw Chen Wenjin.

"I go!"

Wang Banyue’s eyes suddenly widened.

Everyone looked at Chen Wenjin.

Chen Wenjin was also soaked. Everyone saw her slender figure and discovered that her skin was surprisingly tender, just like that of a teenage girl, as if the water on her body was not rain but water squeezed out of her skin.

Does this look like a married girl?
Damn, she looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old at most?
Do people here get married so early?
Wang Banyue said, "Sister, your husband is really wicked. Why did he marry you when you were only in your teens?"

Jiang Hua couldn't help but mutter to himself after hearing this.

Big girl?
He is much bigger than you!
It's just that because she took the elixir and stayed in the meteorite jade, she not only remained young, but also seemed to have a sense of rejuvenation. This is the great effect of the meteorite jade.

Chen Wenjin was a little annoyed after hearing what Wang Banyue said.

Just as he was about to scold, Wang Banyue suddenly cried out: "Damn it! Something is biting me!"

As he said this, he was about to grab his thigh.

When everyone looked, they saw a strange insect the size of a pinky finger lying on Wang Banyue's body.

Wang Banyue was about to take the photo, and Jiang Hua said, "Don't move!"

Wang Banyue was startled, and then he found that there were more of these strange bugs on his ankles. Then he grabbed his butt and said, "There are some on my butt too!"

At this moment, Wu Xie also shouted: "I have it too!"

Jiang Hua said: "These are grass ticks that specialize in sucking human blood. There are a lot of them in the rainforest. A few hundred of them can easily suck an elephant to the bone!"

Then, Jiang Hua looked at the big tree behind him, and saw that there were so many ticks on the trunk that he didn't know how many there were!

"Shit! There are so many! Get out of here!"

Wang Banyue exclaimed.

Jiang Hua nodded and left the place with others.

Once again, he found a relatively large tree. Jiang Hua waved his hand and used the black gold ancient knife to directly break the trunk. He found that nothing was crawling out from inside, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wu Xie, hurry up and help me get this bug off my butt."

Wang Banyue took out a dagger and handed it to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie said: "This... I don't know how to do it!"

Wang Banyue said: "Use fire to lighten the dagger, and then scrape the thing off. Hurry up, otherwise it will get stuck in the flesh and it will be troublesome to get it out. Forget about losing your leg!"

"Oh okay!"

Wu Xie nodded quickly.

So they started to scrape the grass ticks.

Jiang Hua looked at Chen Wenjin and found that Chen Wenjin's face looked strange. He couldn't help but ask, "You were also taken advantage of by that thing?"

Chen Wenjin blushed and nodded. Jiang Hua said, "I'll give you the dagger."

Chen Wenjin: "Help me."

Jiang Hua was a little surprised.

But he still nodded and went to the other side of the tree with Chen Wenjin.

It was indeed difficult for her to do it alone. After all, she was at the back, and all the people here were men, no women, so if she wanted help, she had to choose someone.

For such a shameful thing, why would Chen Wenjin choose herself?
Jiang Hua had some guesses in his mind.

However, this is a good opportunity to control Chen Wenjin.

Soon, with Chen Wenjin's face red, Jiang Hua helped her scrape the grass ticks off. In fact, there were only a few on her body, just two, and it was easily dealt with.

"All right."

Jiang Hua said.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Chen Wenjin suddenly moved her hand, and a dagger slipped out from her sleeve. After she grabbed it, it fell directly on Jiang Hua's neck.

However, Jiang Hua's expression did not change at all.

"Who are you? Why do you know my identity?!"

Chen Wenjin looked at Jiang Hua coldly.

really!

Jiang Hua thought to himself, this woman is not simple, she is very smart. The reason why she asked him to help her, and even sacrificed some of her looks, is just to find out who he is.

Even if necessary, he would kill himself so as not to hinder her plan.

However, Jiang Hua was not angry and did not want to kill her, because Chen Jinjin was still useful to him.

Jiang Hua said, "Is this how you treat your savior? If it wasn't me, the tick would have burrowed into your flesh and blood."

Chen Wenjin's pretty face turned red, and she became shy when she thought of the scene just now.

She had never been looked at by a man before.

However, after going through so many things, she has become indifferent to life and death, so she doesn't care about these things, but whispered: "Don't change the subject!"

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Okay, I surrender."

Chen Wenjin said: "Then answer my question, who are you? Why did you follow Wu Xie and the others?"

Jiang Hua said: "My name is Jiang Hua, maybe you haven't heard of me, but I know all your things, such as... the secret of meteorite jade, for example, the reason why the people who survived in Xisha can stay young is because they swallowed a pill made from meteorite powder, and in the pill, there is a corpse king!"

"But this elixir has a huge drawback, which is... if it is not treated properly, it will turn into a corpse in a short time, either a sea monkey or a forbidden woman!"

"Of all those people back then, you are the only one left now. Everyone else has turned into corpses, except you. You often swallow meteorite powder, so your transformation has been delayed, and you may not even turn into a corpse again!"

"But there is a drawback to this. The farther you are from the meteorite, the more likely you are to turn into a zombie, and the faster you will turn into a zombie! You can't leave the meteorite!"

"Am I right?"

Chen Wenjin's expression changed completely.

She looked at Jiang Hua in disbelief: "How do you know so much!"

Chen Wenjin's heart, which had always been very calm, was completely confused at this moment! Jiang Hua's things were all her secrets. Only she knew these things. She didn't tell anyone, not even Anding Zhuoma!

However, Jiang Hua now told her everything accurately!

It was as if Jiang Hua had experienced all these things with her!
This is so scary!

Chen Wenjin felt cold. She wiped her wet hair and stared at Jiang Hua: "Do you know that your life is in my hands now?"

Her grip on the dagger tightened.

Jiang Hua suddenly smiled: "No, you are wrong, I should say that your life is in my hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hua's hand moved.

Chen Wenjin trembled all over, and her pupils were confused for a moment. However, it was during this moment of confusion that Jiang Hua snatched the dagger, and in an instant the dagger was on Chen Wenjin's neck.

Chen Wenjin recovered and looked at Jiang Hua in horror.

"W-what did you just do!?"

Chen Wenjin whispered.

She felt that she didn't know why she suddenly froze, her mind was in a trance, and she didn't know how Jiang Hua took the dagger away from her.

Jiang Hua didn't answer her, but wiped her face and a human skin mask was torn off.

A fresh and refined face appeared in front of Jiang Hua.

Seeing this beauty so close to him, even Jiang Hua couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In the original novel, Chen Wenjin was already a great beauty, and because of the meteorite jade's rejuvenating effect, her skin looked like that of a newborn baby.

Unexpectedly, her beauty far exceeded Jiang Hua's imagination.

Just this face alone is definitely the most beautiful face Jiang Hua has ever seen since he came to this world.
