Returning from the abyss

Chapter 156 Night Clan

Lu Ning walked into a spacious bedroom on the second floor.

A brand new black robe covered Lu Ning's tattered clothes. Lu Ning almost didn't pay much attention to changing clothes after experiencing too many life and death situations. Fortunately, Ning Yeyi and Cheng Wuling were not fans of the authorities. , quickly took her to find a suit of clothes to wear.

But if such a piece of clothing can be found in the castle, it means that there are other human-shaped creatures, probably the Night Clan?
Lu Ning looked at the bedroom while thinking.

A large bed, obviously not for human beings, is more than four meters long and nearly three meters wide, which is already a bit difficult for this figure.The other side of the room is more like a studio, with many instruments made of stone, wood and metal, which seem to be used to make paper and paint.There is a small balcony on the side of the bedroom, and there is a huge easel near the window of the balcony, with an old painting on it.

Under the sunshine of clear water and green mountains, there are three creatures painted by the lake.A petite silver-haired humanoid creature is sitting facing the lake. In front of it is a wooden table. Next to the table is an orange-haired lion. A little farther away from the lion is a tall man sitting with his back to the painting. A black giant in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat.

There is a beautiful silver giant fish in the lake. The artist has put a lot of effort into the treatment of the water. The sparkling light raised by the tail of the fish and the golden color shining in the sun are also presented by unknown pigments.Finally, this large painting, about two meters square, was coated with a layer of wax-like substance to prevent the pigment from changing color for any reason.

This peaceful and harmonious scene does not match the cold castle at all.

Lu Ning's fingers touched the canvas slightly, but she found nothing wrong, and then her eyes flicked across the four protagonists of the painting.

"lake."

Silver giant fish.

"beast."

An orange-haired lion.

"Blood."

A big black man in a bamboo hat and coir raincoat.

"moon."

Petite with silver hair.

If there is no deliberate arrangement here, then there should be only four of the Night Clan.The lake is dead, and the remaining three presumably live in castles?

There are still many books in this room, most of which are old thread-bound books, and there are even hand-copied books mixed in.From various biographies to history, art, poetry and even astrological calculations.These books seem to be well-maintained at present, and they are probably read frequently, and the pages are old.

Lu Ning picked up a few books and flipped through them before walking out of the room.

There was a loud noise in the castle.

"Brother Shi! Someone has already been here!"

"This is the huntress I saw in the village before! Who killed it?"

Hearing the voice below, Lu Ning had no floor, but just peeked in the direction of the hall from the corner of the corridor on the second floor.There are seventeen or eighteen people standing there now, and the leader is the man named Shi Shaocheng.After Lu Ning and others rescued him and Zhang Fengxi from the fat hunter on the first day, Zhang Fengxi was shot and killed by the pig-faced man, and the team led by this man did not know what to do.

"Someone got there first, but it doesn't matter! The castle is so big that it is impossible to search it all! Even if you find a little bit of background, you will be rewarded with points! Wealth and wealth are in danger!"

A person next to Shi Shaocheng hurriedly gave him advice.

"Now we are going to complete the main storyline. The truth about the village is known, and Moon Lake has some guesses, but we need to find evidence. What evidence do you think we can find here?" Shi Shaocheng asked everyone.

"It's...it's hard to say, Brother Shi. Although the things in this place are a bit strange, they are not something that cannot be produced by craftsmanship in this era. What is enough to prove that they are abnormal?"

"The pig-face mask we stole." Shi Shaocheng said, "it's a mask but it's still alive. That's enough evidence. It's just that we have too many people now, and there are only three masks, which are not enough for everyone to complete the task." .”

"Oh, oh, you're just looking for something that goes against common sense, right?"

"Worthy of Brother Shi, plan your strategy!"

"Then where are we going to find it?"

A group of people followed suit, and Shi Shaocheng was also a little flustered. He glanced around in satisfaction and pointed to the side road on the first floor.

"Let's go this way. Generally, such things are stored in warehouses and the like? Just find a place that doesn't look like a place to live."

Everyone praised and hurriedly walked over there. At this time, Lu Ning came out from the corner and returned to the hall along the stairs.

that direction...

Lu Ning recalled the appearance of the castle in her mind. Although she couldn't see the whole picture because of the viewing angle, there was obviously the tallest tower in the castle over there.

"what happened?"

Just at this time, Ning Yeyi also searched for a few rooms and returned to the hall, seeing Lu Ning's expression, he asked a question.

Lu Ning told the news that someone was coming again.

"Huh? Isn't that good? Dare to come here to show that they are a little dependent, and we can help more."

"However, as the tower is the tallest place here, will it..."

Before the words fell, there was a cannon shot in the distance.

The two looked at each other, and rushed to the corridor where those people went.

The road is not long. After a normal corridor, there is a downward staircase. At the end of the staircase, there is a door. The door is now open. The dozen or so people are crowded in the doorway, trying to climb back.

"What's going on!" Ning Yeyi asked loudly when he came over.But her appearance frightened these people even more. Immediately, someone raised the wooden rune in his hand, and a puff of blue flame flew towards Ning Yeyi directly!

A water curtain suddenly appeared, intercepting the flames in mid-air. Ning Yeyi frowned, walked down a few steps, and immediately saw a pool of residues being burned by green flames inside the door, and he could barely recognize some human body parts.

At the other end of the room, about ten meters away, sat a sturdy man, wearing a hard leather armor, with a neatly trimmed beard, and a hideous long spear was placed beside his right hand, while his left arm was A large metal contraption holds a cannon.The man's eyes were closed tightly, but the smoke from the gun muzzle proved that he was not asleep.

Yes, although the model is much smaller than a real cannon, it is still slightly larger than a shoulder-mounted RPG, and it is not easy to deal with at first glance.

"What's the matter with you!"

Lu Ning calmly pulled Ning Yeyi back, and went up to communicate with herself.Her human appearance is obviously more acceptable. Shi Shaocheng squeezed out from the crowd, glanced at the man opposite the door with lingering fear, and asked Lu Ning: "You, you too..."

"Crow. What's the matter? I heard the cannon."

"Yes, a companion was killed by..." Shi Shaocheng swallowed.

"Don't hesitate, dead people don't cause you any panic, right? Why are you so out of control?"

At this time, these people have discovered that as long as they don't step into the room, men don't care about them.So they all stood up carefully.

"That's the most powerful one among us! He's an elite with a red turban! He also has a pig-faced man's magic protection! As a result, he was blown to pieces as soon as he opened the door!"

"Isn't that just negligence?"

Lu Ning didn't quite understand, walked down the stairs, and saw the man sitting opposite the door.She raised her shotgun and pointed it at the opponent.

"say!"

"That gun..."

The man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the silver shotgun in Lu Ning's hand.

"Really? No wonder. Long Xing is dead."

"Are you 'big brother'?" Lu Ning asked loudly.

"You'd better not shoot. I was just ordered to guard the entrance of this prison. As long as I don't step into the gate, I have no reason to do it. But this restriction will be lifted if I suffer from an external attack." The man's majestic and powerful voice was slow And firm.

"Prison?"

"You don't know yet? This is the prison where Moon was imprisoned. But it has nothing to do with you. If you leave here, I won't do anything."

Compared to Lang Xing, this man seems to know more about the Night Clan.

"Yue? Why were you imprisoned?"

"It's just the fate of the loser in the battle. I only know so much." The man was very patient, "Maybe you want to try to let me get the same relief as Long Xing, but I advise you not to try. She has to do first It is expulsion, so I can take advantage of loopholes to release water, my order is to kill anyone who dares to set foot here, there is no room left for you."

"Did you kill the one in the hall?" Shi Shaocheng couldn't help asking Lu Ning.

"Yes."

"Then we have nothing to be afraid of, right? How much difference can this guy make? He will die as well, right?"

Lu Ning took a cautious look at the man over there.

If you use the blood technique, as long as you can hit it, you can indeed kill the villagers under the curse, and the hunter will not be surprised.But the strength of this "big brother" is estimated to be on par with Lang Xing at worst, and she doesn't have a second snake blood knife in her hand to attack.

"It's not going to be easy and I'm not going to take the risk."

Lu Ning finally chose to retreat.

The disappointment on the faces of Shi Shaocheng and others was extremely obvious.

"It's all scores!" Someone finally couldn't help shouting, "We can't beat you but you have experience. We will fully cooperate with you. No matter how good he is, he is only one person. At worst, we can help you open the way..."

"Are you really willing?" Ning Yeyi said angrily from behind, "Let's go with your life? Do you think we look so easy to deceive?"

"Let's go, I'm more interested in what happened here before, which led to a fight within the Night Clan."

Lu Ning ignored people like Shi Shaocheng and quickly left the road with Ning Yeyi.

In fact, some things can now be pieced together.

From the dream and the snake's memories, Lu Ning could at least know that the blood and the moon, the two night clans, had conflicts, probably because of a territorial grab.After Yue was defeated, Xue took over the place, but there was also the intervention of the lake and the beast and the other two night people.

"The ones whose whereabouts are currently unknown are the blood and the beast."

After talking about it with Ning Yeyi, Lu Ning concluded.

"This past sounds very simple."

"After all, the simpler the purpose, the easier it is to form intricate consequences." Lu Ning walked back to the hall and raised her head to take a look. "I think you should have found out, too."

"Ah...height problem? Yes."

Although the castle hall is quaint and majestic, and the second floor is not lacking in various decorations, this cannot conceal the fact that the height and appearance do not match.Neither Lu Ning nor Ning Yeyi would miss this obvious difference. After searching and failing to find a passage to the third floor, they confirmed what secrets were hidden there.
