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

Qin Feng raised his head and let out a long roar. His figure suddenly accelerated, flying towards the dark abyss.

His body transformed into a shooting star, heading straight into the darkness ahead.

He was too fast, too fast.

In the blink of an eye, his body vanished into the pitch blackness.

In the pitch-black space, Qin Feng's body leaped directly into the darkness, and in an instant, his body completely merged into the darkness and disappeared.

At this moment, Jiang Hua and Lin Yun had arrived at a large secret room, in the center of which was a coffin.

"Who is buried here?" Lin Yun asked curiously.

Jiang Hua shook his head; he didn't know either, and looked at the wall.

The walls here are completely sealed off, as if they were sealed off.

Jiang Hua was startled and carefully examined the coffin.

The coffin was made of gold.

The coffin was made of countless pieces of gold.

It seems that this person must have been extremely wealthy and powerful a thousand years ago.

To be able to build a coffin with gold, his life must have been quite remarkable.

However, the coffin is now covered by a thick layer of soil.

A strong sense of doubt suddenly arose in Jiang Hua's heart. He couldn't help but observe the thick clod of soil, examining it carefully. He wanted to see what material the coffin was made of and why it was so sturdy.

However, after examining it for a long time, he found that the coffin was perfectly fine, without even a single crack.

He looked around at the burial objects.

These burial objects were made of various rare materials and precious minerals, but they were nothing special; they were just ordinary things.

Although these burial items were quite valuable, he didn't notice anything special about them at all.

"What a weird thing."

Looking at these burial objects, Jiang Hua couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Brother Jiang, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Qin Feng's voice suddenly rang in Jiang Hua's ears.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback. He then turned around and immediately discovered that Qin Feng had appeared behind him at some point.

Jiang Hua was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked at Qin Feng and said, "Where did you go just now? I've been looking for you for a long time but I couldn't find you."

"Didn't find it?"

Qin Feng frowned and looked around.

Jiang Hua nodded.

"I just saw a dark path, so I ran along it and ended up here."

"Oh."

Qin Feng nodded in realization, then looked at the dark passageway.

There was indeed a dark passageway here, but it led straight into the dark abyss with no exit in sight. That's why Jiang Hua thought there was no danger here.

He never imagined that such a secret room was hidden in this dark passageway.

So Jiang Hua asked, "How's it going over there?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng instantly understood his meaning, shook his head, and said helplessly, "It's pitch black over there, but at least we have kerosene lamps for lighting here." "Alright, then we can only examine this coffin." Jiang Hua smiled bitterly; they were now trapped in this cave.

Seeing his troubled expression, Lin Yun comforted him, "At least we're still alive."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua immediately felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Hua approached the coffin without further hesitation, turning back to remind everyone, "Be careful, everyone."

As he spoke, he slowly walked in. Although the tomb and coffin looked quite ordinary, Jiang Hua dared not let his guard down.

"Don't worry, we know what to do," Qin Feng nodded in reply.

Upon hearing their answers, Jiang Hua didn't hesitate any longer and reached out to lift the lid. Inside was a rectangular wooden bed, and there were no other items on it.

After lifting the wooden bed, Jiang Hua looked at the coffin, whose four walls were inlaid with luminous stones.

Even in the darkness, it still shimmered with light, and Jiang Hua examined it closely.

He discovered that the four walls of the coffin were engraved with many symbols. He looked at them for a long time but couldn't recognize many of them. However, Jiang Hua did find something interesting.

There was a talisman pasted on each of the four sides of the coffin. Jiang Hua picked one up and looked at it, and found that the talisman was not made of paper, but was composed of many fine lines.

These patterns share a common characteristic: they are all red. The patterns on these talismans are extremely intricate, and they also contain various strange characters that Jiang Hua has never seen before.

However, judging from the patterns, it should belong to the talismans of a wizard.

These patterns are not just one type. Jiang Hua found several more talismans and discovered that they were all composed of patterns. Jiang Hua flipped through them many times.

They discovered that several of them were talismans, and each one had the same pattern, but there were many characters on these patterns that Jiang Hua couldn't understand.

Therefore, Jiang Hua can only keep it for now and wait until she has time to look at it later.

Jiang Hua put away the talismans and then looked around the room. He found that the room was not as devastated as he had imagined.

There were even many cracks on the walls, and a pool of blood in the corner.

"It seems I was wrong before; this should be an empty grave."

At this moment, Jiang Hua recalled the scene he had seen outside when he came in.

There were indeed no corpses here, but Jiang Hua wasn't sure if this was truly an empty grave, or if there were some other secrets hidden here.

Jiang Hua turned to look at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either. I've been here once before, and this was indeed a grave, but it wasn't like this. I'm not sure if this is a real empty grave, but I'm certain that this place is not simple."

"Oh?"

"It's completely silent here. This is my second time here."

"This is a grave, but it's not a grave. There's no one here. It's an empty tomb, but I feel there's something special about it. There must be some secret hidden here."

“I agree with what you said; I feel the same way.”

"Yes, that's our current situation."

"What do you think?" Jiang Hua asked, turning his head.

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Let's look around and see if there are any hidden mechanisms."

Jiang Hua looked around, then focused his gaze on a groove in the ceiling above the bed. He remembered that this was the same groove when he first came here, and now it seemed that there must be something inside it.

So Jiang Hua stood up and reached out to press down on the groove on the top of the bed.

As Jiang Hua pressed down, the groove in the ceiling of the bed immediately trembled violently, and then bricks and stones fell from it.

Jiang Hua and the other two gasped in unison. They were all stunned by what they saw; one person had actually carved such a groove into the coffin. (End of Chapter)
