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

"Phew! We're finally out of here. We should be safe now." Jiang Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief as he looked around at his surroundings.

“Okay! Let’s rest for a while and look for a way out when it’s light. I believe we should be fine.” Qin Feng nodded and said, then glanced at Jiang Hua’s shoulder and frowned.

"Is there anything wrong with my arm?" Jiang Hua asked.

"Don't worry! It's nothing. Let me check if you've broken any bones. What happened to your left arm?" Qin Feng said, shaking his head.

Afterwards, Qin Feng carefully examined the area but found nothing unusual. Then, he looked at Jiang Hua's shoulder with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, just a small scratch, it's fine," Jiang Hua said.

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Hearing Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng felt relieved. He then stood up and dusted himself off.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Hua smiled slightly and stood up as well.

The two then sat down on a rock.

Jiang Hua took out the kettle, opened the lid, took a few sips, and then looked at Qin Feng and said, "Brother Qin, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"Go on," Qin Feng said, turning his head after hearing Jiang Hua's words. "After we leave this tomb, we'll likely encounter zombies again. I'll need your help then, as I'm really at a loss to deal with them right now."

"Don't worry, I can handle the zombies we encounter this time." Jiang Hua smiled slightly.

"Really?" Qin Feng was stunned when he heard Jiang Hua's words, and then said excitedly.

Jiang Hua nodded.

"That's great! Are you sure you can manage on your own?" Qin Feng asked.

"Hehe, don't worry." Jiang Hua smiled.

Looking at his smile, Qin Feng suddenly felt uneasy for some reason. Then he took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Hua, and said, "Jiang Hua, I know you are a good person. No matter where you are, you are a good person. I believe in you. So, I hope we can get out of here alive this time. You must save me."

Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback after hearing Qin Feng's words.

Looking at Qin Feng, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Qin Feng's words surprised him, as this was the first time he had heard someone say that.

"Don't worry, I'll save you," Jiang Hua said with a slight smile, looking at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smiled slightly and nodded.

The two then rested on the spot, needing to recover their strength, otherwise they would definitely be unable to fight if they encountered zombies later.

Then it will be up to Jiang Hua. He is alone, and if they encounter zombies, he definitely won't be able to protect them. After all, they are not strong enough and they are facing zombies that are more advanced than them.

The two rested until dawn, after which Jiang Hua opened her eyes.

"Brother Jiang, you're awake?" Upon seeing Jiang Hua open his eyes, Qin Feng immediately stood up and asked.

"Yes, everything's alright now, we can set off." He asked, looking at Qin Feng.

"Haha! Okay!" Qin Feng laughed, and then the two walked forward.

As dawn broke, some light finally entered the underground palace, which greatly improved the mood of the two men. They then continued forward. "Brother Jiang, I see it. We've reached the last part of the underground palace. Ahead is a huge plaza, and at the end of the plaza is the exit of the tomb," Qin Feng said, looking at the vast plaza ahead.

Jiang Hua nodded. He could already feel an extremely powerful pressure coming from ahead, which made his movements somewhat sluggish.

Seeing Jiang Hua's reaction, Qin Feng immediately understood. He looked at Jiang Hua and said, "Brother Jiang, did you feel the oppressive force of that tomb?"

"Yes." Hearing Qin Feng's words, Jiang Hua nodded slightly and said.

"Brother Jiang, how did you do that? Neither of us felt anything, but you did. It's unbelievable." Qin Feng looked at Jiang Hua and asked, full of doubt.

"Hehe, I don't know either." Hearing this, Jiang Hua smiled, then turned to look around and said.

"I estimate that the space of this underground palace is only fifteen meters wide and fifteen meters long, while the top of this tomb is a 360-degree open space with no blind spots."

In other words, there is an opening in every place here. That is to say, there is an opening at the top of this tomb, which is the center of this underground palace.

That's why I was able to feel the oppressive force emanating from that hole.

Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Then, looking at Jiang Hua, he said with some surprise, "You mean, there's an opening in the top of this underground palace?"

“Yes, I suspect that the hole is very likely the exit,” Jiang Hua nodded and said.

After listening to Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng fell silent. After a long while, he sighed.

"Sigh, I really underestimated the owner of this tomb. He actually set up such a magnificent underground palace. Who is the owner of this tomb? How could he be so rich!" Qin Feng looked around and sighed.

"Hehe, this is what you call wealth. Do you see the furnishings here? Everything here, including that ancient emperor's sword, is made of ancient and mysterious metal."

Moreover, these things are priceless. How could an ordinary person possess so many precious treasures?

"So I guess the owner of this tomb was probably an extremely wealthy man." Jiang Hua looked around and said.

"Well, that's the only explanation." Qin Feng nodded and then said.

Jiang Hua smiled slightly and said nothing more.

The two continued forward, heading towards the cave entrance, which led to a dark passage where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng walked forward cautiously. Although the passage was dark, they could still see the way.

However, after walking for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Jiang Hua suddenly stopped, because he sensed a dangerous aura gradually approaching.

Qin Feng also sensed this aura, and his expression immediately changed.

Both of them are very strong, especially Qin Feng, who has reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage. He is extremely sensitive to danger and can sense it.

"Brother Jiang, this is bad! I sense zombies approaching." Looking ahead, Qin Feng said in a low voice, his expression becoming serious.

Jiang Hua raised an eyebrow; he too could feel the dangerous aura rapidly approaching, and his heart began to race with tension.

"Brother Qin, please step back!" Jiang Hua said, looking at Qin Feng. (End of Chapter)
