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

After Jiang Hua led Qin Feng and the others into the spider cave, they were immediately startled by the scene before them.

The scene before me was utterly desolate, with only some vines and a huge spider's nest remaining.

This spider nest is much larger than the previous one, at least three times the size.

Inside this spider nest, there were five or six huge spider holes, each filled with green venom. Around the venom were also many snakes, insects, and rodents. The venom itself was green.

Beside these green venomous liquids were numerous poisonous insects, each one the size of an adult man's fist, and each insect even had fangs in its mouth, making them extremely ferocious and terrifying.

These poisonous insects have countless small holes on their bodies, from which a greenish liquid oozes out. The liquid is green in color and emits a strong, foul odor.

"What the hell is this thing?" Qin Feng frowned, looking utterly puzzled.

"These poisonous insects are all highly venomous. They are a very rare type of poisonous insect called the Rot Poison Flower. This poisonous insect lives in a cave within this cave."

"Their venom is extremely potent, and they absorb all kinds of toxins in these caves, eventually converting them into venom that flows underground and forms these spider caves."

Jiang Hua slowly said, "And the venom in this spider cave is formed by the Corrosive Poison Flower absorbing toxins from underground."

"Hiss! The Corrosive Poison Flower actually survives here? How is that possible?" Qin Feng gasped, asking incredulously.

"I don't know either, but this kind of poisonous flower is indeed highly toxic, so there must be a lot of them, otherwise they wouldn't be able to survive underground."

"However, our mission this time is to search for treasure, specifically the Corrupting Poison Flowers. There are so many of them, so we need to hurry," Jiang Hua nodded and said.

"In that case, let's get started! The Corrosive Poison Flower should have the purest venom here. If we can catch the Corrosive Poison Flower, we can obtain this venom, which will definitely benefit our cultivation techniques."

Qin Feng nodded in agreement with Jiang Hua's suggestion and immediately said, "However, these poisonous creatures are very cunning. We must be careful and not disturb them, otherwise they will definitely escape."

“Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking too,” Jiang Hua nodded and said.

"We'd better be careful," Li Qiushui said with a serious expression as she looked at the dense swarms of poisonous creatures around them.

"Okay, you guys stick close to me." Jiang Hua nodded, then took the lead and walked forward...
Jiang Hua led Qin Feng and Bai Xue, the three women, slowly towards the spider's nest, which contained many small, green holes.

The outer walls of these caves are covered with many spider webs, which look quite disgusting.

Jiang Hua walked ahead of these small holes, his eyes constantly scanning the walls of these spider caves, but he did not find anything unusual.

We can only believe what this guy says for now; there really is a spider cave inside his cave.

Jiang Hua walked step by step. The spider cave in front of him looked very narrow, only about two meters wide, and there were rows of spider webs inside.

Some of these spider webs still contain a number of spider eggs, some of which have been infiltrated by venom. It appears that the eggs have just hatched, and the venom is corrosive.

Those spider eggs were likely newly hatched larvae. These larvae were still immature and had only recently emerged. Once they matured, they would probably produce a potent toxin.

Jiang Hua walked forward step by step, his eyes constantly scanning ahead. He observed the spider cave and carefully examined the state of the venom and spider eggs, just in case. If he found anything amiss with the venom or eggs, he would retreat immediately. Under Jiang Hua's watchful eye, the group walked for about half an hour until a large open area finally appeared ahead, resembling a vast plaza.

Here, there are many small green holes, from which green mist sprays out, enveloping the entire square.

Around these small holes, there were many putrid flowers. Putrid flowers looked extremely ugly, but their toxicity was terrifying. If an ordinary martial artist...

Once you're hit, you'll probably die instantly. That's why those martial artists didn't get close to those poisonous flowers.

Near the poisonous flower, there is a thick layer of black soil.

The soil looked like rotting corpses, emitting a pungent, putrid smell.

"Phew... The venom here is really potent. If it weren't for my protective aura, the toxins from this Corrosive Poison Flower alone would have been enough to kill me." Jiang Hua looked at the area before him and couldn't help but gasp.

The toxins in this poisonous plant are indeed potent enough to cause harm to humans.

“However, our target is the venom of this Corrosive Poison Flower.” After understanding the special nature of the Corrosive Poison Flower, Jiang Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief and then said to Qin Feng and the others.

"Yes, that's right." Qin Feng and the others nodded in agreement.

"I'll test the venom of the Corrosive Poison Flower," Jiang Hua said immediately.

After saying that, Jiang Hua walked up to the huge poisonous flower and picked up the black gourd in his hand.

Then, Jiang Hua reached out and gently opened the lid of the gourd.

Just as Jiang Hua opened the gourd's lid, a whooshing sound was heard, and a stream of dark, venomous liquid suddenly gushed out from the gourd.

In the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of Jiang Hua and attacked Jiang Hua's chest.

"Ok?"

Jiang Hua was startled, then quickly dodged, avoiding the ball of venom.

"Oh!"

The splatter of venom struck Jiang Hua's shoulder.

Jiang Hua's protective aura was actually corroded away by this venom; the corrosive power was extremely strong.

Jiang Hua felt as if the skin on his shoulders was being corroded, and the pain was excruciating.

"What a powerful poisonous flower." Jiang Hua gritted his teeth, then endured the pain and pulled the black gourd in his hand again. Instantly, the clump of venom was pulled into the gourd's mouth again.

Jiang Hua then continued pouring the venom into the gourd. (End of Chapter)
