Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 22 Pure Vision Agama

"so many people?"

Wang Pangzi exclaimed in surprise, then quickly pulled out the entrenching tool from his waist.

Hu Bayi also frowned. Yang Xueli threw a signal flare, but the people still didn't move, so he had a bad feeling.

"Don't panic, they're all dead!"

As he spoke, Cheng Feng drew his pistol, then grabbed Yang Xueli's hand and handed her the pistol, saying:

"Everyone, don't go over there yet. This is the last pass before entering the Jingjue Kingdom. There are things guarding the gate."

Yang Xueli took the pistol and looked around warily.

"Brother Cheng, what exactly are these guards you're referring to?"

Hu Bayi, who was also on guard, asked in a low voice.

"The Pure Vision Agama describes a black snake that lives in groups, has a red glow on its body, and has fleshy growths on its head that resemble eyes."

It is highly venomous; anyone bitten will die within three seconds with no hope of survival.

Cheng Feng's words sent chills down everyone's spine, and Ye Yixin's legs even trembled slightly.

Sadi Peng and Chu Jian performed slightly better, each standing in front of the two professors and protecting them behind them.

But they too began to break out in a cold sweat; after all, they were just students in their early twenties.

Fatty Wang, breathing heavily, leaned against Hu Bayi, his eyes fixed on the front, and asked in a low voice:

"Old Hu, what should we do? Should we keep going forward, or should we retreat first?"

"Let's head back and leave this place first, and come back tomorrow during the day to figure out how to get in."

After making his decision, Hu Bayi quickly called to An Liman and told him to lead the camel and prepare to turn around.

Everyone knew that Cheng Feng was shrouded in mystery, starting with his discovery of the tomb of Prince Gu Mo.

His mention of Cishan Mountain demonstrates his understanding of the ancient city of Jingjue.

Therefore, no one questioned Cheng Feng's words at this time.

Just then, the signal flare that had been thrown earlier burned out, and only the flashlights of the crowd emitted a faint glow.

"It's too late to leave, we're already surrounded."

With his keen senses, Cheng Feng had already heard the noises coming from all directions.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, patches of red light lit up around them, and everyone was able to see what they actually looked like.

Just as Cheng Feng said, they had an eye-shaped growth on their heads and were about one meter long.

The black scales are as hard as iron, with red, glowing patterns.

As the snakes flickered their tongues, their long, sharp fangs were faintly visible. Judging from their appearance alone, these creatures didn't look like easy targets.

"Old Hu, it looks like we're in deep trouble today. If only we had a gun."

"At least die with some dignity!"

Wang Pangzi, being a descendant of soldiers, truly possessed a heroic spirit that showed no fear of death.

"Don't talk such discouraging words, Brother Cheng, do you have any other ideas?"

Desperate for a cure, Hu Bayi pinned his hopes on the mysterious Cheng Feng.

The Pure Vision Agama approached unhurriedly, and the encirclement became even tighter.

This forced everyone to huddle together with the camels.

Cheng Feng pushed away the drooling camel's head and said with a look of disgust:

"This camel's saliva stinks terribly."

"Brother, what time is it? You still have the mind to care about this?"

Fatty and Hu Bayi almost broke down, thinking to themselves, "What kind of weirdo is this?"

"The atmosphere is too tense. Let me lighten the mood with a joke. Trust me, I'll take you through the Jingjue Ancient City in no time."

After saying that, Cheng Feng took two steps forward amidst the bewildered looks of the crowd.

He twirled his sword, the sharp blade slicing across Cheng Feng's left palm.

Blood instantly flowed out from the half-inch-long wound.

The Pure Vision Agama who surrounded the crowd jumped up and down like boiling water.

They started running recklessly into the distance, and as the last snake slithered into the crevice, the surroundings became quiet again.

The Pure Vision Agama was born in the imaginary space, and Cheng Feng's Yan Emperor bloodline has a great restraining effect on this alien creature.

One second they were on the verge of death, about to be devoured by the snake.

The snake slithered away faster than it arrived, as if nothing had happened.

After a long silence, a dry cough broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Um, this... Brother Cheng, are you really human?"

Fatty Wang was at a loss and stammered as he spoke.

"Of course I am human, and I doubt there is anyone more pure than me."

Cheng Feng's words are correct; everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang, but he is a direct relative of Emperor Yan by blood.

When it comes to seniority, everyone's ancestors would have to kowtow to Cheng Feng as a sign of respect.

"Thank you, Cheng Feng. I, Wang Kaixuan, will never forget your life-saving kindness."

If you ever need anything, just say the word. I'll be there for you, even if it means going through fire and water!

Fatty Wang was almost in tears; he had even planned out how he should die.

Unexpectedly, we were safe in the blink of an eye.

"Fatty is a man of strong character. If I can't find a rich woman, I'll have to rely on you from now on!"

Cheng Feng patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder with a hint of emotion.

"Hiding with a rich woman?"

Fatty Wang looked at Cheng Feng with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, Professor Chen and the others recovered from their fear and gathered around Cheng Feng.

Those eager eyes were filled with joy at being alive and gratitude towards Cheng Feng.

"Xiao Feng, thank you!"

"Brother Feng, I'm so grateful, please let me know if you ever need anything."

……

"Alright, alright, everyone, let's get out of here as soon as possible. There won't be any more snakes after we get past Cishan."

Even Hao Aiguo has become enthusiastic now.

This starkly contrasted with his usual grumpy face, making Cheng Feng feel somewhat uncomfortable.

So he quickly interrupted everyone's jubilation at surviving the ordeal.

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi called out to An Liman, and the group mounted their camels, intending to leave as soon as possible.

Because there were scattered pieces of magnetite in the sand, the group dared not walk too fast.

Thanks to the suppression of Cheng Feng's blood, Jingjian Ahan did not come out to harass them.

After a bumpy journey, two hours later, the group finally crossed the Magnet Mountain and arrived in the desert behind it.

Cheng Feng pulled on the reins to stop the camel and said to those behind him, "We're far enough from Cishan, let's set up camp here."

"Okay, everyone be careful and don't stray too far from others."

Hu Bayi dismounted from the camel and directed everyone to arrange the tents in a circle, one next to the other.

Then Fatty Wang, along with Chu Jian and Sadi Peng, started a fire in the center using portable fuel.

After finishing their work, everyone sat down in front of the fire.

Professor Chen sat down next to Cheng Feng, while Yang Xueli quietly moved to the other side of Cheng Feng.

"Xiao Feng, you mentioned before that the snake is called Jingjian Ahan, and the fleshy growth on its head looks somewhat like the totem of the Ghost Cave Clan."

If you know anything about it, you can tell the old man.

As soon as Professor Chen finished speaking, Hao Aiguo followed up:

"Yes, Xiaofeng. According to our research, snakes have always been closely related to the Jingjue culture. What's the story behind this?"

Hu Bayi and the others also looked on with curiosity.

In fact, they could find the answers to what they wanted to know from the Zagrama prophets.

However, since the atmosphere had already been set up this far, Cheng Feng didn't want to spoil the mood, so he spoke up.
