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

"What exactly happened, Jiang Hua? What's wrong with your weapon?"

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Jiang Hua himself had no idea what was going on.

"I don't know. I feel like the connection between this weapon and me has been severed. I don't know what's going on."

However, at that moment, black mist spread out and enveloped all three of them.

Although they didn't know how the black mist in front of them was created, after opening their eyes, Jiang Hua and the other two found themselves in what seemed to be an extraordinary place. After arriving at this place, Jiang Hua cautiously moved forward, even holding his weapon with some trepidation.

"Where exactly are we now? Do either of you know?"

Although Jiang Hua did not know where he was, the surrounding environment appeared very dark and even somewhat cold.

Looking at Yun and Qin Feng again, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that they hadn't strayed far from him but were standing together with him.

"If you don't even know where this is, how would we possibly know? Are you kidding us?"

Seeing that Jiang Hua didn't even know where he was, Yun retorted to him in an annoyed tone, while Qin Feng, standing beside them, told them to stop arguing, because even if they continued arguing, they probably wouldn't find an answer.

"You two shouldn't argue here. Even if you argue for so long, you won't get to the bottom of it. Besides, we still don't have a definite answer as to where this place is. So I think we should be careful as we move forward here. Who knows, it might be the work of that black gold ancient sword from before."

Jiang Hua originally thought that the black energy released by the Black Gold Ancient Blade was helping him by frightening the terrifying hellhounds. However, Jiang Hua did not expect that it would bring all three of them here, which made Jiang Hua think that there was something wrong with the Black Gold Ancient Blade.

"In that case, even if the three of us stay here, we probably won't be able to find out the reason. So let's walk forward and take a look. Maybe we'll find out why then."

After speaking, Jiang Hua walked forward, not caring whether Yun Qinfeng would follow. After all, it was their own business. He was already quite annoyed by this clueless place.

However, not long after Jiang Hua started walking forward, he was surprised to find that in this strange place, in the vast white space, a dozen or so black wisps suddenly appeared in front of him. Just as Jiang Hua was on high alert, he saw that these dozen or so black wisps appeared for some unknown reason.

They somehow coalesced into a dozen or so strange black figures. When these figures appeared, they resembled humanoid creatures, given their size. However, upon noticing Jiang Hua approaching, they launched a direct attack on him with incredible speed.

"These things actually want to attack us. Could they be some kind of vengeful spirit? But if they are vengeful spirits, why are they here?"

Jiang Hua was momentarily stunned, unsure of what was happening. However, seeing the dark figures rushing towards him, he didn't hesitate. He thrust his spear forward, which instantly shone with golden light. Jiang Hua poured all his spiritual energy into it, making him shine like the sun in the dark night sky, illuminating the area.

As the dark figures rushed towards Jiang Hua, they were not intimidated by the spiritual energy he had just released; instead, their speed increased.

Seeing that these strange things were not intimidated by his attack, but instead seemed to be launching a relentless attack on him, Jiang Hua couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What's going on? These shadowy figures are still attacking me, and they don't seem afraid at all. Why is that? Could it be that these guys aren't monsters of the vengeful spirit level?"

Knowing that the things in front of him were monsters, Jiang Hua never expected that these things were so similar to vengeful spirits, yet they were completely unafraid of his spiritual energy release.

Although monsters like ghosts have different grades, Jiang Hua has never encountered anything as exaggerated as these before. He always felt that these shadowy figures were ethereal, yet they possessed a pure physical presence that could strike at any moment.

It gave people a very frightening feeling. Although Jiang Hua was only guessing so far, he didn't have a clear answer as to what the truth was. When Yun and Qin Feng saw Huang Hua being attacked, they rushed up immediately.

They knew that if Jiang Hua were to be defeated or even killed while facing these shadowy figures, their chances of leaving this place would increase dramatically.

"What kind of monster is this? How can it withstand the spiritual energy we release?"

After Qin Feng unleashed his immense power, flames began to swirl around him. However, when the flames touched the black monsters, they amplified their aura, making them seem capable of burning away anything evil.

There was no way to threaten them at all, as if these black monsters were on the side of justice, and the flames could help them increase their strength.

"If our current spiritual attacks can't harm these monsters, then I think we should use a more direct method: physical attacks. If neither physical nor spiritual attacks can destroy these shadows, then we should seriously consider whether we'll die here."

To be honest, Yun was relatively calm, because he could already see it.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng went all out, but the black monsters not only didn't feel afraid, but instead faced the challenge head-on, completely disregarding their attacks. After analyzing the situation...

In that instant, Yun understood that these black monsters seemed to be surviving on some strange thing, although she didn't know why they had condensed here before.

Jiang Hua turned to look at Yun's suggestion and nodded. Although he wasn't sure what the best course of action would be, of the various attack methods they faced, only these two seemed to offer a clear strategic perspective. (End of Chapter)
