Tomb Raider: From the Dragon Ridge Cave

Just when Qin Yan was about to invest this pitiful half of the evolution point, he suddenly discovered that in the system's holographic interface, the progress bar for the next evolution clearly stated: One evolution point is required!

Qin Yan flipped through it again and found that the next level of evolution would require double the evolution points.

"Um......"

Qin Yan felt a little depressed, but at the same time he understood: after all, as his bloodline continued to evolve, his body's abilities in all aspects also continued to increase.

In other words, he continued to break through to a higher level in the sequence of life.

So it was natural that he needed more evolution points.

"Alas, but in this case, I don’t know how many evolution points are needed to completely unlock the bloodline of the divine beast Di Ting. It’s really a happy trouble......."

Qin Yan was both happy and distressed.

The only thing he knew now was that he could obtain evolution points by hunting down evil spirits and then absorbing them with the ancient sword.

"This damn system doesn't give more hints. At least there should be more ways to collect evolution points."

Qin Yan complained in his heart while thinking about how to get more evolution points.

Suddenly his eyes lit up:

"It seems that we can only focus on those ghost soldiers and that scary big zongzi......."

When Qin Yan was thinking about it, he heard Hu Bayi say:

"I think we have no choice but to go all the way, walk up the stairs and see if it leads to the top of the tomb, which is connected to the embedded path, and maybe we can get out." When the fat man heard that they could get out, he stood up and said,"What are we waiting for? I'll go first and you guys follow me."

Before he finished speaking, the fat man raised his foot and went up the stairs. After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask Hu Bayi:

"Old Hu, what did you just say about the Dao? What is it used for?"

Hu Ba explained to everyone as he walked:

"To put it bluntly, the embedded path is a tunnel. To build an ancient tomb, the mountain must be hollowed out. The soil and stones that are dug out are moved out through the embedded path. After the tomb owner is buried, the tunnel is sealed, and the craftsmen, slaves and other people who built the tomb are also buried alive inside. If you are lucky, you may find the secret passage secretly left by the craftsmen, and then you can leave this damn place."

Everyone talked as they walked, and walked for about five minutes.

The dark and depressing environment on the stairs made the timid Big Gold Tooth unbearable:"Master Qin, Old Hu, I always feel that there is something strange here, but I can't tell."

The fat man smiled and said,"Master Jin, I think you are scared."

Hu Bayi also felt something was wrong. Qin Yan also did not answer. He was looking for the crescent gap in the original book, but found that he could not find it at all.

What went wrong?

Qin Yan couldn't figure it out for a while.......

The darkness inside the Soul-hanging Ladder seemed to be solidified. One could not see one's fingers when one stretched one's hand in front of one's eyes. The candle in Hu Bayi's hand was more like the light of a grain of rice.

This made Da Jin Ya's heart even more nervous. He hurriedly turned on the flashlight and wanted to take a look at the situation below the stairs.

However, strangely, the beam of light from the flashlight seemed to be completely swallowed up by the darkness. The place a few meters away was all pitch black and could not be seen clearly at all.

Da Jin Ya asked tremblingly:"Master Qin, Master Hu, what the hell is going on? I can't see anything!"

Hu Bayi was awestruck and felt that the stairs were a bit weird.

Qin Yan knew that this was because the material inside the Soul-hanging Ladder could absorb light, making it difficult for people to see far, thereby confusing the audience. This was also the key to the design of the Soul-hanging Ladder.

In order to stabilize Da Jin Ya, Qin Yan said:"Maybe it's because the material of this ladder can absorb light."

Hu Ba nodded and said:"Master Qin is right. Although the stone steps are gray, they are obviously coated with a secret material that can absorb light. There are many such secret recipes and secret materials in ancient China."

"It's just that they are all monopolized by the royal family and aristocrats. Instead of using them to build bridges and roads to improve people's living standards, they are used to consolidate their ruling status or to design mausoleums to protect the royal family. It's fucking stupid."

The fat man saw that Big Gold Teeth was startled all the way and couldn't help but teasing:

"Mr. Jin, I think your courage doesn't match your hairstyle!"

Big Gold Teeth kept a slicked back hair and put a lot of hair oil on it every day, which was always teased by the fat man.

Seeing the fat man talking about his hairstyle again, he remembered that his hair shape was messed up because of the female corpse, so he quickly spat into his palm, wiped his hair back, and bared his Big Gold Teeth:

"Fatty, I'm just being cautious. This ancient tomb is very strange, so it's always better to be careful."

The fat man was kind-hearted and fat, so he didn't care about that and said,

""Let's go, comrades! Let me, Fatty, be your vanguard!"

After saying that, the fat man took two steps at a time and walked towards the Soul Hanging Ladder.
