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

Early next morning
Jiang Hua got up early because he was going to Longhu Mountain today.

As soon as Jiang Hua opened the door, he saw Fengshen Yinde and Shentu standing there, looking at him with resentment on their faces.

This made Jiang Hua feel goosebumps all over his body.

"I say, you two, stop looking at me like that. If someone doesn't know, they'd think I did something to you."

"Jiang Hua, why didn't you tell us when you set out for Mount Longhu? Don't you consider us your friends?"

Shencha looked at Jiang Hua seriously and said that if Jiang Hua didn't give them an explanation today, he, Lin Jiang Hua, would not be able to escape unscathed today.

"No! You two blocked my door early in the morning like nagging women just to tell me something? Even if I told you, so what? You would have followed me no matter what, and the main reason I told them was to get them to stay. But after seeing Hu Bayi and Hu Kaixuan's attitude, I didn't say it. But you two, even if I didn't tell you, you men would have followed me today."

Jiang Hua analyzed it very rationally.

"Okay, both of you stop imagining things. Our main goal now is to find the altar of deification in the real Tianshi Mansion. Only by obtaining the altar can we crack Zhang Daoling's secret. This way, when your eternal life is weakening, we can safely gamble."

The three were chatting when Hu Bayi walked in with Hu Kaixuan and Da Jin Ya.

"Okay, our team is up, let's go now!"

Jiang Hua and his companions boarded the train to Longhu Mountain.

"Master Jiang, we have learned from the information that if we want to find the real Tianshi Mansion, we must go to this Tianshi Mansion first. The head and several elders of this fake Tianshi Mansion are inner disciples of the real Tianshi Mansion, but the people of Tianshi Mansion have always been at odds with people from the outside world, so I am afraid that there will be unnecessary trouble at that time!"

Hu Bayi told Jiang Hua the information he had collected in the past few days and his own ideas.

"Hmph, that's fine. Since I've decided to go to Mount Longhu, I've never thought of coming back empty-handed. If they don't cooperate, I can just take a look at the legendary birthplace of Taoism and see how powerful it is!"

At this moment, Jiang Hua was surrounded by a kind of momentum. Hu Bayi and the others felt that as long as Jiang Hua was there, there was no place they could not go and nothing they could not do.

After two days of travel, the group arrived at Longhu Mountain.

The Longhu Mountain is hidden in the clouds from a distance, giving people a feeling of seclusion. Moreover, there is a feeling of dragons and tigers leaping among the rolling clouds.

This made Jiang Hua and others marvel at it.

"It's not without reason that Zhang Daoling placed the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain. There seems to be some great power among the clouds and mist. I think our trip to Longhu Mountain this time will definitely be extraordinary."

Jiang Hua led everyone into Longhu Mountain. When they just entered the territory of Longhu Mountain, something like ripples appeared on their bodies, but it passed in a flash, so no one noticed it.

When they entered Longhu Mountain, Jiang Hua and the others felt that the spiritual energy in their bodies became more active, and the air was much better than that outside.

Do you feel it? The spiritual energy in here is much denser than that outside.

"Well, after I came in, the spiritual energy in my body became active. It seems that there may be a spirit gathering formation in Longhu Mountain."

"Oh, a spirit gathering formation! This Tianshi Mansion is such a big deal!"

"Let's go and meet the legendary Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion now!"

"Drip drop~"

The sudden message from the system made Jiang Hua stunned for a moment.

Jiang Hua entered the system and found that it was a message from Zhang Daoling asking him to add a friend.

"what?"

Although Jiang Hua was very confused, he still passed Zhang Daoling's friend.

Zhang Daoling: Fellow Taoist, you came to my Tianshi Mansion probably for the Conferred God Altar!
Jiang Hua didn't expect Zhang Daoling to be so decisive, so Jiang Hua didn't say much and just admitted it directly.

Jiang Hua: Do you think there is any meaning for me coming to Longhu Mountain if it is not for the Conferred God Altar?
Zhang Daoling: Hahahaha, you are the first one who dares to talk to me like this in all these years!!!
Zhang Daoling: "Since you are so confident, I want to see if you can climb up to my Longhu Mountain!!"

Jiang Hua: "Haha, let's take a look!"

For a long time, Zhang Daoling did not send any message to Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua saw that Zhang Daoling did not send him any message and logged out of the system.

Jiang Hua did not take Zhang Daoling's words to heart. After all, for Jiang Hua, if Zhang Daoling really did not go after saying these words, it would make Jiang Hua feel uneasy.

After all, Jiang Hua has always been on the path of invincibility, and what he wants is the spirit of moving forward without fear.

Jiang Hua and the other two walked in the woods for a long time. Suddenly, Jiang Hua realized that they seemed to be standing still!
Jiang Hua stopped and looked around in confusion. He now felt that they had been going around in circles since they entered the territory of Longhu Mountain.

"Did you notice?"

Hou Tu's voice came from behind Jiang Hua.

"Have you discovered it a long time ago?"

Jiang Hua looked at Hou Tu with great confusion.

"I felt something was wrong here before, but when I saw you didn't react, I didn't say anything. I left a mark here before, right under our feet. Unexpectedly, we returned to this place just now." As Hou Tu spoke, she cast a spell to draw out the mark she had left in the land here.

When Jiang Hua saw the mark floating in Hou Tu's hand, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.

"It seems that we have underestimated the Tianshi Mansion. Although this Tianshi Mansion is a plus, they still have a solid foundation."

"That's right. When I was helping my father before, I fought with the Taoists. Taoism is most famous for its formations! I think if we want to get out, we have to break this formation first."

Fengshen Yinde obviously knew something about Taoists.

"But Longhu Mountain is so huge, it will be so difficult for us to break the maze!" Hu Kaixuan said angrily.

"Humph, this formation must also be coordinated according to the natural trend of this world. I think the people from the Tianshi Mansion are using the thick fog that exists all year round on Longhu Mountain to cover up their soul-confusing formation. As long as we can see through the essence, we can quickly find the center of the formation."

"But now, this fog is the best cover for this formation. It seems that we need to find someone who can not be affected by this fog."

As he spoke, Jiang Hua slowly turned his gaze towards Hou Tu. Among all the people in the team, the only one who was not affected by the fog was Hou Tu.

"Hou Tu, check if there is any special energy nearby."

"Ok!"

Hou Tu also knew what Jiang Hua was thinking, so she closed her eyes and quietly felt the news coming from underground.

The ripples under Hou Tu's feet that were invisible to the naked eye spread out to the surroundings little by little. Hou Tu sensed the information fed back from the ground little by little, and the range became wider and wider.

After a while, Hou Tu stopped sensing.

"Did you find anything?"

"To the southeast of us, there is a spiritual energy gathering place. The spiritual energy there is much denser than other places. I think the center of the formation we are looking for should be there."

"Haha, you are still reliable!"

After saying this, Jiang Hua asked Hou Tu to lead everyone to the center of the formation.

The further they went inside, the thicker the fog became. In the end, it was so dark that they couldn't see their hands in front of them. If Jiang Hua hadn't been able to sense the presence of everyone, he would have thought that he had lost everyone.

"How far is it?"

"We're almost there, just ahead. But the thick fog ahead seems to be under some kind of restriction that can block people's perception. Let's be as careful as possible!"

"it is good."

Then Jiang Hua directly released his spiritual power and condensed it into a line.

"Everyone hold on to this line. The fog ahead is unusually thick."

When everyone walked into the thick fog, he found that his perception was restricted. But he also said that he could feel the information fed back from the rope where his spiritual power was gathered.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Hua only felt that he had entered a place with extremely rich spiritual energy.

"here it is?"

Just when Jiang Hua was confused, an old man appeared in front of Jiang Hua.

"Haha, little friend, I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"

"You are Zhang Daoling!"

When Jiang Hua saw the old man in white in front of him, he felt a sense of threat, a feeling Jiang Hua had not felt for a long time.

"Haha, the answer is correct, but there is no reward!"

"You came to Longhu Mountain for this thing, right?"

As Zhang Daoling spoke, he waved his sleeves, and the scene in front of Jiang Hua's eyes changed into an altar.

Jiang Hua saw the altar appearing in the scene before him. He felt the terrifying pressure that the altar brought with it, and a shocking idea came to his mind.

"Is this the altar of conferring the gods?"

"Yes, this is what you want to find, but whether you can get it or not, or whether you want to find the secret of this altar, you still have to wait until you find the real Conferred God Altar to know the answer!"

"So, what is the purpose of you telling me this now?"

"Haha, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. You will know when you come!" After saying this, Zhang Daoling's figure slowly faded away.

As Zhang Daoling disappeared, the illusion that Jiang Hua saw also followed.

"Jiang Hua...Jiang Hua..."

Jiang Hua heard Hou Tu's anxious voice before he regained consciousness. (End of this chapter)
