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

After walking for about half an hour, the two finally finished traversing the path.

When I reached the end of the path, the view suddenly opened up before me.

"What is this place?"

Jiang Hua stood there, looking at the area in front of her, and exclaimed in surprise.

It is a valley.

The trees in the valley are very tall, some over ten feet high, with some thick trunks that require two people to encircle. Their large canopies block out the sun and obscure the view.

Jiang Hua could only vaguely see at the end of the valley that a mountain spring was flowing down and slowly passing through the valley.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng were overjoyed and couldn't help but say happily, "It seems we've finally escaped that terrifying underground palace. This must be the last level of the ancient ruins."

"Brother Jiang, I think it's not just here. There are definitely more formidable challenges ahead."

Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, let's continue then."

Jiang Hua nodded and led Qin Feng forward.

Jiang Hua and Qin Feng traversed the valley without encountering any danger, traps, or obstacles, only some simple plants.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar herb. This herb looked like a purple flower, very beautiful, and it also emitted a very strong fragrance.

This fragrance is very special. It doesn't smell like the fragrance of ordinary flowers and plants. Instead, it smells like the body odor of some kind of mythical beast. This body odor is very unique and very pleasant. When you smell it, your spirit is refreshed.

"Huh, this is a purple-flowered medicinal herb, and it even emits such a pleasant fragrance."

Upon seeing this spiritual herb, Qin Feng exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but say something.

"This is an extremely rare spiritual herb. As far as I know, this kind of spiritual herb is very rare and has been extinct in the outside world. I never expected to see such a spiritual herb in a secret realm this time."

Qin Feng said.

"There are too many unknown secrets in this world, and therefore, there are also more miracles that can happen."

Jiang Hua smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's hurry and pick this purple-flowered medicinal herb."

Qin Feng nodded and followed behind Jiang Hua, beginning his harvest.

This purple herb looks like a flower, but it is actually a small purple grass, only the size of a palm, but seven or eight feet long, with leaf tips as sharp as blades.

It has a purplish-gold color, and the leaves shimmer with a faint purple light, giving it a very beautiful appearance.

Upon seeing this spiritual herb, Jiang Hua was immediately taken aback, his face showing shock. He knew how precious this kind of spiritual herb was, but now such a herb had appeared before him.

Purple Flower Herb, as the name suggests, is a small purple herb with a small, round, purplish-gold stamen at the tip of its leaves.

It has crystal-clear fruits that emit a captivating fragrance. This purple-flowered herb is extremely rare, precious, and rare.

Once you take this purple flower elixir, not only will it enhance your physical constitution, but it will also grant you special effects, making you even stronger and more terrifying in combat!
The two quickly bent down to pick the flower and put it into their storage rings. This purple flower herb was extremely precious and priceless, and they would never give it up easily.

After finishing the harvest, Jiang Hua and Qin Feng continued on their way, walking around the valley once again until they reached the innermost part of the valley, where they continued for a few more minutes.

Finally, a wide mountain road appeared before Jiang Hua's eyes.

On both sides of the road are steep stone walls, and on the stone walls are dark passages, each with narrow gaps between them.

However, these gaps are not deep, only three or four inches deep.

Upon seeing these narrow gaps, Jiang Hua was overjoyed, for he knew that this mountain path led to the deepest part of the valley.

"It seems we are about to reach the heart of the final test."

Jiang Hua said with a smile.

"Okay, let's keep going."

Qin Feng nodded.

The two of them started walking together on the mountain path. Step by step, they walked towards the deepest part of the mountain path.

As he continued forward, getting closer and closer to the center of the mountain road and into its depths, Jiang Hua's excitement grew, and his heart pounded wildly.

My heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to jump out of my throat.

He was very excited and full of anticipation.

He desperately wanted to know what this path leading to the core of the final test was all about.

Finally, the two arrived at the end of the valley.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

This is an enormous platform, like a plaza, with a huge bronze cauldron standing in the very center of the platform.

This giant bronze cauldron looks very ancient, with a smooth surface and a sense of vicissitude.

This bronze cauldron has a very ancient shape and looks to be over a thousand years old.

Moreover, Jiang Hua also discovered many broken ancient symbols around this giant cauldron. These symbols were very old and some had no writing on them at all.

All of them have been eroded by time and look quite dull. However, even though they look dull, they still have a sense of vicissitude and a sense of sedimentation after a long period of time.

After careful observation, Jiang Hua discovered that these ancient characters were not ordinary characters; each ancient symbol contained a mysterious aura.

"It seems that these are all ancient scripts."

Jiang Hua muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Brother Jiang, what are you saying?"

Qin Feng asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, I was just marveling at how magnificent the ancient scripts were."

Jiang Hua shook his head.

"Brother Jiang, are these all ancient characters?"

Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Ah."

Jiang Hua nodded, “These are all ancient characters. Each one has a very important function. Moreover, each of these characters is very complex and contains a different profound meaning.”

Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, Qin Feng was taken aback, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He looked at the ancient bronze cauldron and carefully examined the various ancient characters on it.

"It seems that this bronze cauldron is an extraordinary treasure."

Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This cauldron actually has ancient characters on it. It seems that the owner of this cauldron must be a very important person."

"Hehe, I don't think that's necessarily true."

Jiang Hua shook his head, "I feel that this bronze cauldron should be something from inside this valley."

Or perhaps the owner of this valley was actually just an ancient martial arts cultivator, or perhaps he had once been inside this valley.

"How can this be?"

Qin Feng's eyes widened immediately, staring at Jiang Hua in disbelief. "How is this possible? This valley was discovered by our generation. There's no way anyone else could have entered it."

Jiang Hua shook his head, also somewhat puzzled.

This was the first time he had encountered such a strange situation, and it puzzled him greatly.

He couldn't understand why ancient characters would appear inside this valley. Could it be that these characters had a special origin?
Or perhaps these characters were left over from ancient times?
This struck Jiang Hua as utterly unbelievable, and she couldn't believe the speculation.

He felt that what he was thinking was completely inconsistent with this guess. (End of Chapter)
