Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 76 Paper Man

Cheng Feng followed the sound of laughter to the depths of the side hall.

The laughter kept changing direction, but Cheng Feng's goal was clear: to find the place where the laughter had started in the first place.

After passing through several layers of red gauze, Cheng Feng looked up and saw half of a woman's face hidden beside the crossbeam above the main hall.

The woman's face was exceptionally pale, yet she had unusually rosy blush applied to both sides of her cheeks.

Cheng Feng remained calm, looked around, and then suddenly rushed towards the nearest dragon-shaped pillar.

Using the pillars for leverage several times, he flipped himself onto the roof beam.

Bending down to pass through the intricate beams, Cheng Feng came to the woman's side.

At this moment, Cheng Feng also saw the woman's full appearance. It turned out that she was an extremely lifelike paper figure.

She lay on the beam like a real woman, with exquisite details in her hands and the edges.

"That bastard Prince Xian has truly ruined this once-in-a-lifetime auspicious land; even the paper figures here have become sentient!"

Cheng Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Due to his special bloodline, he could clearly sense that the paper figure had become sentient.

If the feng shui of the Water Dragon Halo is not disrupted, this paper figure may have the opportunity to be reborn as a celestial being in a few years.

Perhaps sensing Cheng Feng's approach, the woman's laughter ceased.

The paper figure, like any other paper figure, lay there lifeless.

Cheng Feng pondered for a moment, then stared at the paper figure and said:

"You were born from evil, and I should have gotten rid of you."

However, considering that you never had the opportunity to do evil, and that the rebirth of a dead being is extremely rare,

I'm giving you a chance. If you survive, the future is yours to live; if you don't, then it's fate.

After saying that, Cheng Feng came to the paper figure, reached out and straightened its body so that it was facing him.

Unlike the lifeless body, the paper figure's eyes are extremely expressive, as if they were filled with emotions, just like a living person.

Cheng Feng pressed his thumb against his teeth, and a string of blood beads immediately gushed out.

A look of terror appeared in the paper figure's eyes, as if it were particularly afraid of Cheng Feng's blood.

“My blood can wash away the evil spirits from you, giving you the opportunity to become a true spirit. I hope you can seize this opportunity.”

After saying that, Cheng Feng used his other hand to pinch the paper figure's chin.

The paper figure opened its mouth, revealing a piece of dark green ancient jade.

This ancient jade was forged by King Xian using the tongues of ninety-nine young girls as a sacrifice.

If an ordinary person touches it, they will be controlled by it, start talking nonsense involuntarily, and try every means to kill themselves.

"There's a glimmer of hope; I hope you can seize it!"

After saying that, Cheng Feng dripped the blood from his finger onto the ancient jade.

Suddenly, a wisp of green smoke drifted from around the ancient jade, and the faint sound of a woman's painful wails echoed from inside the hall.

The two women, who were lighting a fire in the courtyard to keep warm, were startled and immediately raised their submachine guns, looking around warily.

After the ancient jade mentioned by the paper man was purified by Cheng Feng's blood, its color began to change from dark green to a warm emerald green.

Cheng Feng withdrew his hand only when the ancient jade turned emerald green.

The paper figure's eyes are visibly more expressive.

Cheng Feng nodded: "It is said that the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, leaving a glimmer of hope."

Now that you've seized this opportunity, you should cultivate diligently from now on.

After saying that, Cheng Feng flipped over and jumped down from the roof beam, then left the side hall without looking back.

The paper figure on the roof beam slowly turned its head, its bright eyes fixed on Cheng Feng's back.

When Cheng Feng returned to the courtyard, the two women, who were so frightened they nearly shot him.

Fortunately, Cheng Feng sensed something was wrong and called out to the two of them.

"Good heavens, even the Meat-like Tai Sui couldn't do anything to me, but you two almost killed me."

Sitting down by the fire, Cheng Feng said to the two women in an annoyed tone.

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling turned their heads away in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Cheng Feng, we just heard a woman crying and we thought there was something unclean!"

"Yes, Cheng Feng, you heard it too, right!"

Cheng Feng glanced at them and said irritably, "Nonsense, do you think I really went for a stroll?"

The two women smiled sheepishly, and then apologized to each other.

Finally, Cheng Feng got annoyed and reluctantly forgave them.

Exhausted, the three of them ate some dry food with hot water and then lay down with their backpacks to sleep.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, sunlight streamed through the door and shone on the faces of the three people.

Cheng Feng opened his eyes, got up and stretched.

"Wake up, the sun's shining on your butt!"

After waking the two women, Cheng Feng pushed open the palace gates, where he was greeted by the rising sun on the horizon and the ever-undulating white clouds.

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling quickly tied their hair up and walked to the door to stand beside Cheng Feng.

The three of them sat on the steps and ate their daily rations while enjoying the beautiful scenery before them.

Perhaps it was truly a case of food being served up, because Cheng Feng found even the dry compressed biscuits in his mouth to taste a bit better.

After eating, the three of them shouldered their backpacks and prepared to officially say goodbye to this dangerous yet beautiful place.

Along the wide, cloud-covered avenue, the three walked side by side in the direction they had come from.

Behind them, the gates of the celestial palace slowly opened, and a woman dressed in a bright red robe could be vaguely seen watching their backs.

Feeling something, Cheng Feng turned to look at the Immortal Palace, then smiled with satisfaction and waved goodbye to those behind him.

"Cheng Feng, what are you doing?"

Huo Ling looked back curiously, but only the celestial palace was hidden in the light mist.

"Farewell to this celestial palace."

"Something's been acting strange this morning!"

After muttering something, Huo Ling caught up with Cheng Feng.

After descending from the plank road, the three returned to the pool where they had killed the giant worm.

At this moment, the three of them were crouching at the corner of the entrance, cautiously peering towards the shore of the pool.

"It seems that all the pregnant corpses in the pool have hatched!"

At this time, traces of Cheng Feng's battle with the Yulong worm still remained by the pool, along with the corpses of many humanoid monsters.

But there were more living humanoid monsters, lying one after another on the shore.

Some were lying casually on the rocks, seemingly in a dormant state.

"Cheng Feng, why don't we sneak over while they're sleeping?"

Huo Ling whispered a suggestion in Cheng Feng's ear.

Cheng Feng shook his head and said:

"No, they are too numerous, and they are extremely sensitive to the senses of living people. If we rush in, we will be surrounded and attacked."

Chen Wenjin nodded in agreement; she didn't want to gamble her luck with the monster.

Then Cheng Feng opened his ghost eyes and said:

"It's safer to fight our way out!"

As they spoke, one snake mother after another appeared in the open space on the shore, and all the sleeping monsters suddenly sprang up in a frenzy.

Soon, more than forty enormous snake mothers began fighting against a large group of monsters.

The three hid in the shadows and watched the battlefield where the monsters were being slaughtered unilaterally.
