Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 171 Blood Bait Red Flower

Opening his boundless demonic eyes, Cheng Feng stored the molting turtle's shell along with the boulder into the imaginary space.

Although Cheng Feng has no use for this, it can serve as a foundation for the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.

To avoid anyone getting poisoned and having to be treated by Cheng Feng through bloodletting.

At this moment, Cheng Feng inexplicably thought of Er Yuehong from the Nine Gates. If he had known that Cheng Feng possessed this thing while treating Yaya,

Will we see a scene where Er Yuehong comes begging for medicine?

However, given the Nine Gates' nature, the most likely scenario is that they'll just go to their door and rob them, since begging for help is never as satisfying as killing someone.

He shook his head, dismissing the inexplicable thoughts in his mind.

Cheng Feng lifted his foot and walked towards the altar in the center of the place.

He could sense that there was a living creature behind the altar, which must be the green-haired turtle that had shed its shell.

Before he could get close, a small beast covered in green fur crawled out from behind the rock.

Cheng Feng glanced at it, then looked away with some disdain.

This thing is really an eyesore; it's a turtle without its shell, covered in green hair.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an oddity.

Unlike Cheng Feng's disdain, the shell-less turtle actually had a very good impression of him.

She ran straight towards Cheng Feng with nimble steps, her joyful appearance clearly showing her happiness.

Startled, Cheng Feng immediately activated his Ghost Eye and threw it into the Imaginary Space.

If you get even a graze on it, you can forget about your pants. The venom is so potent that anyone other than Cheng Feng would die if they got even a touch.

"Let's leave it in the imaginary space for a while, and then let it guard the warehouse once the blood bait is grown!"

The shellless turtle survives on the fruit that grows from blood bait; it cannot live anywhere other than in the storeroom.

Cheng Feng wasn't worried that it would starve to death during this period. Putting aside everything else, no one could compare to the tortoise in terms of its ability to survive.

Having dealt with the shell-less tortoise, Cheng Feng began to study the altar of the Reincarnation Sect.

There was a transparent, colorless crystal on it. Cheng Feng glanced at it and left.

This thing is made of the same material as the broken piece in the Nine-Story Demon Tower, so it's not particularly valuable.

After carefully observing the area, Cheng Feng confirmed that it had been thoroughly searched and there was nothing worth putting into the imaginary space.

"Shirley and the others should be here soon, let's wait for them!"

Cheng Feng wasn't in a hurry to leave. The murals here could clear up Yang Xueli and the others' doubts, saving him from having to explain things to them later.

For example, the mural depicts two identical cities of Eroha, facing each other.

This explains why time seemed to stand still in Evil Luo Sea City.

The city on the left side of the mural represents the shadow city created by Nian Xiong Hei Yan's eyes and mind.

In contrast, there was the true evil city of Luohai, which sank to the bottom of the lake due to the disaster.

The Reincarnation Sect used sacrificial rituals to bring the city from Nian Xiong Hei Yan's memories into reality.

It has become a real city, something that Cheng Feng is extremely envious of.

After resting by the altar for a while, Cheng Feng finally heard noises outside.

They realized that Yang Xueli and her group had come looking for them.

Soon the beam of the flashlight shone from the platform above into the altar.

"Old Cheng!"

The fat man's voice came before he even arrived.

"Stop shouting, I'm here!"

Upon hearing Cheng Feng's response, their footsteps quickened noticeably.

Soon, Hu Bayi, Yang Xueli, and the others walked out of the passage and arrived at the platform of the Black Tiger Altar.

"This Reincarnation Sect is really something, making an altar in this out-of-the-way corner, don't they find it troublesome?"

Ak deduced from the murals he saw upon entering that this place was the work of the Samsara sect.

Moreover, apart from them, the Demon Kingdom probably doesn't have the time or inclination to build this thing.

At this moment, Cheng Feng also walked into everyone's view from beside the altar.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Cheng Feng unharmed.

Then they came down from both sides.

"Old Cheng, have you found anything here?"

After they reunited, Hu Bayi used his flashlight to scan the surroundings and asked softly.

Cheng Feng said with a relaxed smile:

"Found something good, and incidentally burned a corpse."

Cheng Feng didn't hide anything and told everyone that he had found a molting turtle here.

There are also giant corpses in secret chambers filled with blood bait.

There was absolutely no need to hide it; none of the people present were the kind of petty people who would be jealous of others.

"The shell of a molting turtle is a rare treasure. Old Cheng, you've struck gold!"

Hu Bayi smiled, happy that Cheng Feng had made such a gain.

At this moment, Ah Xiang silently came to Cheng Feng's side and stood there without saying a word.

Cheng Feng didn't pay much attention, only feeling that she still didn't believe he wasn't a descendant of the Demon Kingdom.

But the others knew that Ah Xiang could only be free from the harassment of the unseen when she was close to Cheng Feng.

"The murals here record some interesting things, you can take a look!"

Hearing Cheng Feng say this, everyone turned their attention to the paintings on the wall.

Soon, the fat man exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the Queen of Jingjue? Why is she painted here?"

"This should be the Demon Mother of the Demon Kingdom, but she is somewhat similar to the Queen of Jingjue."

"It seems that there is indeed a deep connection between the Jingjue Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom."

Shirley Yang also believes that the resemblance between the Queen of Jingjue and the Ghost Mother is not a coincidence.

At this moment, her confidence in breaking the curse grew even stronger.

All clues point to the Demon Kingdom as the source of the curse.

"Old Cheng has taken care of most of the things here, let's continue on our way!"

After studying the murals, the group decided to leave.

On the way back, Ah Xiang stayed close to Cheng Feng, like a little pendant.

Cheng Feng didn't bother with her; as long as she didn't cause trouble, he let her be.

After returning from the cave to the glacier, the group continued walking along the riverbank.

The journey lasted three days and two nights, but everyone was mentally prepared and no one complained.

On the third day, around noon, the group finally reached the end of the riverbank.

Here, the path ahead is blocked by a huge crystal wall.

This crystal wall is hundreds of meters high, its surface is crystal clear, and it shimmers with fluorescence under the light.

It gives people a strong sense of inviolability.

"This should be the gateway to the city of Eroha, which is described in the scriptures as the Gate of Calamity."

Beyond the Gate of Calamity lies the Demon Kingdom's capital city, Evil Luo Sea City.

Ak recognized the crystal wall, which reassured everyone.

Once they pass through this gate, they will truly enter the territory of the Demon Kingdom.

"This gate of disaster extends all the way into the river, and there is nothing missing above it."

The entrance must be in the water!

After observing, Hu Bayi quickly analyzed the entrance.

However, everyone's expressions weren't good. Although this glacier wouldn't freeze over...

However, its temperature is below zero degrees Celsius. Scientifically speaking, this river water is what is known as supercooled water.

"How about this, I'm a good swimmer, I'll go down and check out the situation first!"

As he spoke, Hu Bayi took off his thermal underwear and put it into his backpack.

"Old Hu, be careful!"
