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

Jiang Hua and his two companions returned to the cave they had discovered earlier. Although there were blood bats and corpse puppets inside, Jiang Hua didn't care at all, because in this cave...

He also set up a defensive formation. Such a formation might be very troublesome for ordinary cultivators, but it was nothing to Jiang Hua, so he wasn't worried at all.

With just a wave of his hand, the defensive array inside the cave would instantly collapse, making it impossible to stop Jiang Hua from entering.

Therefore, Jiang Hua was neither afraid nor worried. He simply walked into the cave and began searching.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the cave where they had previously discovered the treasure.

After Jiang Hua entered the cave, he didn't find anything or any treasure. However, he did find a huge rock at the cave entrance.

There is a dent on this boulder, which must have been caused by someone hitting it hard.

Moreover, this boulder seemed extremely hard, even Jiang Hua's God-Slaying Sword couldn't destroy it, which shows just how solid this boulder was.

After entering the cave, Jiang Hua carefully examined the area and discovered that there was indeed a very obvious offensive magic array on the boulder, and there were also layers of restrictions around the boulder.

These restrictions were likely set up by the corpse puppets themselves. Presumably, their owner deliberately placed these restrictions to prevent outsiders from entering.

This was to prevent others from discovering the secrets inside the cave, and to prevent them from being attacked after discovering the secrets.

After all, there was a very powerful corpse puppet inside the cave. Although this corpse puppet could not unleash its full power, it was still an absolutely terrifying existence.

Moreover, these restrictions are all made from top-grade spiritual artifacts, so their power should not be underestimated.

Jiang Hua tried to break the restriction, but found that he couldn't break it at all. He had no choice but to give up the attempt and turn away.

However, just as Jiang Hua turned around to leave, he suddenly heard several low roars coming from the boulder. Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed towards the boulder and slapped it with his palm.

Boom!
With a deafening roar, Jiang Hua's palm exploded into a bloody mist, and his entire right arm was shattered by the boulder!
A clear crack also appeared on the top of the boulder!

This immediately attracted the attention of the nearby corpse puppets.

Roar!
A series of low, rumbling roars echoed.

These corpse puppets here seem to have developed hostility towards Jiang Hua.

Ignoring everything else, Jiang Hua continued running towards the cave entrance, while remaining vigilant in case the corpse puppets made any unusual moves.

He would absolutely not mind completely eliminating these corpse puppets, so that he wouldn't have to worry about revealing his whereabouts.

Just as Jiang Hua was fleeing at top speed, countless sharp whistling sounds came from all directions, rushing towards Jiang Hua all at once.

Jiang Hua was startled. He hurriedly activated the true essence within his body, forming a layer of pale golden light that enveloped his entire body.

Then, Jiang Hua's speed suddenly increased significantly, and he disappeared into the distance almost in the blink of an eye.

He dodged all the whistling wind blades. Qin Feng and Chen Le followed closely behind him, looking at Jiang Hua and asking, "Where are we going now? Aren't we planning to get out of here?"

Jiang Hua was taken aback upon hearing this. He turned to look at them, shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "I don't know either. I don't know what to do now. This valley is too strange. We didn't encounter any danger when we came in."

"But when we came in, we encountered such a strange situation, and now I'm lost and have no idea where we are. I just hope that there aren't any monsters or anything like that in here, otherwise we'll be in big trouble."

Qin Feng and Chen Le both nodded helplessly.

"So what should we do now?" Chen Le looked at Jiang Hua and asked softly.

As Jiang Hua ran, he said, "Now, we can only keep going in. I believe in our luck; we will definitely find an exit, otherwise we wouldn't be trapped here."

Chen Le and Qin Feng could only nod in agreement.

Just then, the distinctive stench of zombies wafted from ahead, causing Jiang Hua and the other two to shudder and stop in their tracks, looking ahead.

"It's zombies, they're coming!" Jiang Hua looked ahead and indeed saw more than ten zombies slowly approaching them. Moreover, each of these zombies was no less imposing than the one that had just died.

Judging from the appearance of these zombies, they seem to be controlled by someone. In other words, there must be a master here who can use his power to control these zombies.

However, this expert was very well hidden, and they didn't sense him at all. It was only because they sensed him that they were able to track down Jiang Hua and the others.

Jiang Hua frowned slightly. It seemed his guess was correct; this valley was indeed strange!
As the zombies approached, they suddenly roared hoarsely at Jiang Hua and his companions in unison. Their voices were filled with anger, as if they were extremely annoyed by Jiang Hua's actions.

These zombies were much larger than Jiang Hua had imagined, and their legs were about half a meter longer than those of ordinary zombies. Their eyes were bloodshot, and their mouths were open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, making them look extremely terrifying.

"Hmph!" Jiang Hua sneered, his true essence surging within him, transforming into countless sharp swords that instantly coalesced in his hands.

Whoosh whoosh!
Jiang Hua flicked his hands, and instantly countless sharp swords shot out.

The zombies were equally resilient, swinging their claws and reaching for Jiang Hua's sword.

Jiang Hua's sword light landed on the arms of those zombies, leaving behind a series of wounds.

However, these wounds were of no concern to them and did not affect their attacks on Jiang Hua in the slightest.

However, they seemed to know that if they were hit by Jiang Hua's sword, their bodies would become very vulnerable, so they dared not be careless and kept waving their claws to block.

As they continued to approach Jiang Hua, they wanted to take advantage of Jiang Hua's attacks to create some threat to themselves.

However, they were wrong. Jiang Hua's swordsmanship was extremely sharp. Although these claws were very sharp, they were no match for Jiang Hua's swordsmanship.

In a single encounter, Jiang Hua had already severed one of the zombies' hands.

However, although their hands had been severed, the wounds did not cause them any harm. The wounds healed rapidly, returning to their original state as if they had never been injured at all. (End of Chapter)
