Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 404 The Road to Yin and Yang

'Ding~ The quest to eliminate the Dragon God is complete.'

Reward: Yin-Yang Road

Do you wish to collect it?

"Receive award."

As soon as Cheng Feng had a thought, a chilling sensation spread from the Baihui point on the top of his head all the way to the Yongquan point on the soles of his feet.

If anyone were standing next to Cheng Feng at that moment, they would have seen his skin instantly turn a deathly pale white, as if he were not alive.

At the same time, the color of the lips also became very pale, and the overall appearance was faintly grayish-white.

After a while, Cheng Feng's body and complexion gradually returned to normal.

"What a strange Yin-Yang Road! I'm really drifting further and further away from ordinary people these days."

The Yin-Yang Path is a supernatural power beyond imagination. If the path that a normally living person walks is straight,

The Yin-Yang Road is a curve that does not intersect with the normal path.

In other words, this is a path exclusively for Cheng Feng, and Cheng Feng wasn't a normal, living person when he walked this path.

Even if a living person were lucky enough to be brought to this path by Cheng Feng, their physical body would instantly decay.

Whether or not someone can turn into a ghost is uncertain; this remains to be verified.

"Perfect timing, let's test if the Yin-Yang Path works."

At this moment, Cheng Feng was still at the top of the cliff. Even for him, it would take more than ten minutes to climb down and meet up with the others.

So Cheng Feng, now trapped in the cliff crevice, once again assumed that terrifying appearance, and took a step out...

Everything around me transformed into a complex network of lines.

Cheng Feng took three steps forward from the area covered with lines.

When he returned to reality, he was on the ground, and the place where the blind man and the others were stationed was not far in front of him.

After his body returned to normal, Cheng Feng walked towards the camp.

Hei Xiazi, who was on guard duty, spotted Cheng Feng immediately and stood up to greet him.

"Boss, the matter is settled."

Upon reaching Cheng Feng, Hei Xiazi placed his hand on Cheng Feng's shoulder and asked with a smile.

Cheng Feng glanced at him as he walked and said:

"Aren't you afraid I'm just some kind of thing that conjures up to fool you?"

"I trust my eyes."

Black Bear pointed to his eyes through his sunglasses.

Cheng Feng nodded without speaking. Although the blind man's eyes were of great use, they were ultimately a kind of eye disease.

Normal people have better vision in the presence of light, while the opposite is true for blind people; if there is too much sunlight, they will be blind.

On the contrary, his eyesight was better than anyone else's in the dark.

Thanks to Cheng Feng's intervention, Hei Xiazi did not provoke any magical creature this time, and his eyes are not at risk of going blind in the short term.

But as time goes by, there will come a day when he will go completely blind.

This cannot be changed even after being enhanced by the Thunder Listening Technique, because it is the foundation of his immortality.

"Once things are settled here, I'll think of a way to see if I can completely solve your eye problem."

Cheng Feng did have some ideas, but he couldn't guarantee they would be useful to Hei Xiazi.

We'll just have to make do with black bears as guinea pigs then; it's not like it's some kind of weird or unorthodox remedy.

Even if he fails, it won't put his life in danger.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, boss."

Black Bear chuckled. After so many years together, their relationship was far more than just an employer-employee one.

I usually call him "boss" just out of habit.

When the two returned to the camp, everyone else came out of their tents.

Seeing Cheng Feng return unharmed, the four women breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had communicated every day via walkie-talkie for the past ten days or so.

But I wasn't entirely at ease until I saw the person.

Wu Sansheng, Xie Lianhuan, and others greeted Cheng Feng, and Cheng Feng responded to each of them.

"Old Cheng, is that thing completely resolved?"

After confirming that neither of them was injured, Chen Wenjin asked softly.

Cheng Feng nodded.

"It's solved. There won't be any Venus Umbrellas here anymore."

Cheng Feng's words relieved everyone.

Although they repelled the encirclement of Venus Umbrella, no one present was a fool; they understood that without Cheng Feng and Black Bear,

Those Venus umbrellas were definitely their most terrifying nightmare.

A zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) that can influence people's minds can cause unimaginable damage if it gets mixed up in a group.

"Boss Cheng, we've seen sunlight shining down from above for the past few days."

Is there an exit that leads me out of here?

At this moment, Xie Lianhuan asked the question that everyone had been waiting for.

"That's right, there is indeed a hole up there that leads out, and you happen to have very few supplies left."

We can go up through that hole to rest for a bit, and then decide whether to continue exploring.

Everyone was thrilled to hear this. They had had enough of this black dragon vein. Being able to go out and see the blue sky, white clouds, and green grass would probably make any sentimental person cry tears of joy.

"Great! When are we leaving?"

"Let's do it now, since we just rested anyway."

After a lively discussion, the group decided to leave this awful place immediately.

Then Wu Sansheng asked Cheng Feng about the approximate height of the cliff.

There are also details such as the tilt angle at the top.

"At our normal pace, it will probably take us more than ten hours to climb to the top. Everyone should be prepared for that."

Wu Sansheng was experienced and quickly calculated the approximate time to reach the top based on the altitude.

Everyone then said no problem, as there was no weakling among those present except for Wuxie.

Even Huo Xiuxiu was taught the Huo family's secret skills from a young age, and rock climbing was a piece of cake for her.

At this time, Wu Xie was still unaware of this and was listening with great interest to Xiao Hua telling him some climbing tips.

"Pack your things, throw away anything you don't need, and then set off."

At Cheng Feng's command, everyone began to move.

In less than twenty minutes, the previously messy campsite was cleaned up.

Some unnecessary items were thrown into the garbage heap below the sky burial platform. Then, the group went to the foot of the cliff and began to prepare for climbing.

"Nephew, stay by my side later. If anything happens, tell me immediately."

Wu Sansheng gave a somewhat uneasy instruction.

Wu Xie nodded honestly in agreement; he wasn't the kind of person who would put on a show of wealth when he was not.

Then everyone fastened their safety ropes and began climbing up the black cliff face.

To take care of Chen Wenjin and the others, Cheng Feng did not go his own way, but instead followed the group at a snail's pace, relying on his eyesight to climb upwards.

About six hours later, the team had reached the middle of the cliff, where there was a large enough crack.

So everyone rested there for six hours.

During this time, Wu Sansheng walked a distance into the depths of the crevice and discovered that there was a long passage inside, the destination of which was unknown.

At a depth of about 100 meters, Wu Sansheng discovered some murals.

The image above was a deity shaped like ginseng, and he then told everyone what he had discovered.

"I think we should go up and rest for a while first. Anyway, there's no way to grow legs in this place."
