I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Chapter 15: A Late-Night Knock

Zhang Chen happily went up the mountain with a pack of explosives tied around his waist to find flint, preparing to make a fuse for the flint.

He then waited until dusk before carrying his Luoyang shovel to search for traps.

Today's harvest was bountiful, with two pheasants and one unlucky rabbit.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but marvel at the abundance of resources in this world, with rabbits and pheasants running rampant in the mountains.

The common people lacked the skills to hunt and couldn't catch them at all.

Of course, the mountains were not without danger; there were many wolves and venomous snakes.

However, because of the True Dragon Tomb, all the snakes voluntarily gathered around it, resulting in fewer locals being harmed by snakes.

Zhang Chen carried the pheasants home, but the fox spirit was nowhere to be seen in front of the door.

Zhang Chen was a little surprised, wondering why the fox spirit wasn't guarding the door and was instead running around.

He casually hung the pheasants on the wall.

Before Zhang Chen had to wait long, movement came from next door, and he saw the fox spirit listlessly carrying a pheasant away, without its usual liveliness.

"Huh, has this fox spirit changed its personality? Why does it have such an expression today?" Zhang Chen wondered to himself.

However, he didn't dwell on it.

He boiled water in the house, took a sip of the hot water, washed up briefly, and then went straight to sleep with his clothes on.

Now that he had explosives on him, he didn't dare to take off his clothes casually.

If the fox spirit were to grab the explosives, it would be a big problem.

If the fox spirit suddenly lit the explosives in the middle of the night, he wouldn't be able to defend against their power.

Inside the Tomb

As the sky gradually darkened, a wisp of black smoke gradually flew out of the stone tablet, drilled out of the tomb, and disappeared into the air after a brief reconnaissance.

Inside the village, the scholar next door, full of food and drink, was holding the scroll of blood-red inscription and studying it.

Suddenly, the blood-red inscription burst out with rays of red light.

Each inscription seemed to come alive, dyeing the white paper a scarlet color.

"Eh, why are these words suddenly glowing?" The scholar Zhang Chen looked at the scarlet characters in his hand, like flames bursting out with red light, illuminating the entire house in a scarlet hue, as if he were in a blood-red ocean.

A ominous feeling enveloped the entire house, startling him.

"Impossible!"

At this moment, the little fox, who was lying in a basket beside him, was startled by the anomaly.

It suddenly climbed up and stared at the blood-red characters, a deep look of horror in its eyes: "Isn't that ghostly thing always suppressed in the tomb? How can it have the ability to manifest in the outside world?"

The little fox suddenly jumped up, leaped onto the bed, picked up the quilt on the bed, and directly covered the blood-red scriptures.

However, the blood-red scriptures were full of pearls, seemingly containing some kind of strange power.

The light actually penetrated the quilt, still emitting an ominous red light.

"Damn it! How could this be? How could the words imprinted on the stone tablet glow?" The little fox's voice was full of panic: "My Qingqiu clan is responsible for guarding the Tomb of the Emperor's Daughter, but this has never happened before.

I just wanted to dig up some things to improve the plight of my Qingqiu clan, how could I have caused such trouble?"

The little fox was a little flustered at this time, desperately pressing the paper with its body, hoping to cover the blood-red light.

But at this moment,

Suddenly, a gust of black wind blew outside the window, the black wind blowing sand and stones, and the entire village was shrouded in black wind.

For a time, the flying sand and stones blew the thatched cottage into a wailing roar.

"Damn it, there is actually a strange power leaking out of the tomb of the goddess?" A look of panic appeared in the little fox's eyes.

At this moment, the red light on the paper in the house suddenly went out, and everything was quiet.

Only the overwhelming wind in the dark night was howling.

The scholar Zhang Chen looked at the little fox pressing on the scriptures, and then came back to his senses: "It seems that these scriptures are very extraordinary, and they have actually caused such an anomaly.

There are big secrets worth pursuing in this."

The bookworm Zhang Chen relaxed at this time, a pair of eyes looking at the scriptures, a look of ease appeared in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to hug the little fox on the bed next to him.

Zhang Chen's mood relaxed, but the little fox did not.

At this time, the little fox's eyes looked nervously at the window, and sure enough, he saw a red light flashing outside the window, and a blood-red shadow was reflected on the window paper.

After the blood-red shadow made a move to climb the window and peep, it flashed away, and then a knock on the door came.

"Tap tap tap ~"

The knock was very rhythmic.

Zhang Chen, who was reading, suddenly raised his head and looked at the door with a surprised expression: "Strange, who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

"Who is it?" Zhang Chen slowly stood up in the house and asked.

No one outside the door answered Zhang Chen's words, only the knock continued, causing Zhang Chen to frown: 'Knocking on the door in the middle of the night must be an emergency,' and then stood up to open the door, but Zhang Chen had just stood up, and the next moment he saw the little fox suddenly jump up and bite Zhang Chen's trouser leg.

"Eh ~" Zhang Chen looked at the little fox biting his trouser leg, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He knew that his little fox was not ordinary and understood human nature.

At this time, he actually bit his trouser leg to prevent him from opening the door, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Thinking of the blood-red light emitted by the book page in the middle of the night, and the sudden knock on the door, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned, and then subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the inkstone, his face turned pale, he was not a fool.

Seeing Zhang Chen stop his movements, the little fox let go of its mouth, a pair of eyes staring at the door, his eyes full of disbelief: 'How could this be? How could that monster find Zhang Chen? Is it because the words on the tombstone have the monster's aura?'

At this time, the knock outside the door was more urgent, like rain hitting plantain leaves, startling Zhang Chen to not dare to breathe.

His palms squeezed the inkstone hard, and the little fox's eyes turned, and the next moment his soul came out of his body, directly picked up the documents and came to Zhang Chen's house, threw the documents into Zhang Chen's house, and ran back:

"I hope this guy's strange power can scare this ghost thing away! Otherwise, all of us will be in big trouble!"

Sure enough, as the documents were transferred to Zhang Chen's house, the knock outside the door stopped, and then a sound of footsteps going away sounded, and then a burst of knocking came from Zhang Chen's thatched cottage.

"Who is it! What are you knocking on the door for in the middle of the night, I'm not here!" Zhang Chen was drowsy, listening to the urgent knock, cursing, and then picked up the quilt and covered his head to continue sleeping soundly.
