……

Three hours passed in a flash.

Lu An looked a little embarrassed when a hair strand slipped off. There was a big hole in his clothes, but the skin inside was still intact and there was no damage.Tang Xiaowu looked relatively better.

This is not because Lu An was holding back. In fact, they didn't expect to be suddenly attacked by ten strange insects just now. What's even more terrible is that these ten strange insects actually divided into two teams, and four of them chose They launched an attack on Tang Xiaowu, while the other six hid in the passage where Tang Xiaowu and Lu An escaped, and launched a fatal attack on Lu An.

If Lu An hadn't been practicing ghosting all the way, and his proficiency in ghosting had reached an extremely high level, I'm afraid Lu An might have died just from the attack of these six strange insects.

Until the two of them landed on the ground, Lu An and Tang Xiaowu both closed their eyes and listened to the movements of the strange insects.

After confirming that the sound of the strange bugs was fading away, Lu An breathed a sigh of relief. After all, under normal circumstances, these strange bugs would not leave the hair area rashly unless they were hunting for food.

Tang Xiaowu tucked a strand of hair scattered in front of her forehead behind her ears. She looked around and showed a hint of joy after confirming the general direction.

"There is a foothold in front of us that we have developed. It can be used to give us a rest at this moment. Otherwise, in the current state, there is no way to reach the place of inheritance."

"Do I need to rest?" Lu An asked anxiously. Considering the situation of Lu Zhengguo and the others in the outside world at the moment, wasting a little more time would increase their danger level. Therefore, Lu An naturally hopes to be able to carry out Poseidon as soon as possible. During the trial, Tang Xiaowu walked forward without looking back, and only the sound came slowly.

"Yes, if we don't rest, we will be exhausted before we reach the trial site. If we encounter any monster by then, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight back."

"And more importantly, you don't want to do it at night. There's a lot of terror here at night."

When Tang Xiaowu was speaking, she turned back slightly, revealing her expression that was obviously a little frightened.

Seeing this, Lu An could only suppress his thoughts of rushing away quickly.However, Lu An couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity in her heart. What kind of situation could make her, who had no fear when faced with the siege of several strange insects, show a look of fear at this moment.

You must know that based on Lu An's current understanding of Tang Xiaowu, this person is no different from a tomboy. Let alone the fearful look, she would not think that she would blink even if she was trying to kill someone.

With this doubt in mind, Lu An followed Tang Xiaowu to the temporary foothold she said. This so-called foothold was actually a simple wooden house built with a few pieces of wood. The wooden house did not look like much. Large, more like a one person residence.

Tang Xiaowu took Lu An to the wooden house and carefully observed the situation around the wooden house. Tang Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no other traces of her and there were no problems with the protection around the wooden house.

"It seems that no strange insects have been here since the last time we came here. This should be a relatively safe place."

As Tang Xiaowu spoke, she opened the lock of the wooden house with a key in her hand, opened the door and walked in. As soon as she opened the door, a faint damp and moldy smell came from the wooden house. The furnishings inside the wooden house It is also very simple, with only one chair, one bed, and one quilt.

But this quilt should be the source of the damp smell. After all, the wooden house is built directly on the ground and there is no waterproof isolation. It is normal to have this kind of smell.

Tang Xiaowu's reaction was a bit unexpected. She didn't seem to be uncomfortable with this smell.

After scanning the surroundings, she said to Lu An: "Let's rest here tonight. You will sleep on the bed and I will sleep on the floor."

"But we can't go to bed at the same time. You go to bed at midnight and I go to bed at midnight before."

Tang Xiaowu settled the situation of tonight's night watch in a few words. Lu An naturally made no sense.

Then Lu An saw Tang Xiaowu take out a pendant from her own neck. The pendant looked a bit strange. The rope was made of the kind of vines he had seen before, and the pendant The thing hanging is not a common decoration such as goldfish, but a stone, but the stone is also engraved with a circle and a slash pattern drawn in it.

This pattern looks as if it is made of blood, and it is extremely conspicuous.

Tang Xiaowu carefully hung the stone on a nail in front of the wooden door.

It can be seen that the function of hanging items has been considered from the beginning of the construction of this wooden house, so there is this nail.

However, Lu An didn't pay too much attention to the other party's behavior. After all, their lineage had disappeared from the human race countless years ago, and it seemed not surprising that they had any weird habits.

On the contrary, Lu An was still more interested in what the other party mentioned before.

"What exactly is the great terror you mentioned before?"

Lu An couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, actually we don't know either."

"But we know that if it gets dark at night, if you are not in a closed space and this amulet is hung, the blood will be drained from your body and you will die."

"So evil?" Lu An frowned, "You don't know either. What is it made of?"

Tang Xiaowu shook his head, "I don't know, no one has seen the murderer. I only know that the deceased's body was dry and all the blood had been drained from his body, as if he was a mummy."

"Are you sure this is more than just a legend?"

It's not that Lu An doesn't believe them, but because according to Lu An's understanding of relatively backward villages, there are usually some bizarre legends. Each of these legends sounds very scary, as if there are gods and ghosts at work. .

But once you take a closer look, most of them are just rumors and have no basis in fact at all.

"No, this is not just a legend, because I have seen it with my own eyes."

As Tang Xiaowu spoke, he couldn't help but think of the scene he had seen in his memory, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She was still young at that time, only seven or eight years old, which was the time when she just had memories.

Because her parents passed away early, and because her grandfather was the patriarch, he often had to think about many things and could not always accompany her, so she was usually taken by her aunt.

During that time, the emotional relationship between aunt and uncle was not very good.

A quarrel broke out between the two in the evening, and the aunt left the room angrily and decided to return to her parents' home, which was only 50 meters away.

At that time, the uncle remembered this taboo passed down from generation to generation, so in order to protect his aunt, he left the room to look for her, but both of them never came back, leaving only the seven or eight-year-old.Tang Xiaowu was alone at home, listening to the strange noises coming from outside. He could only hide in the quilt and tremble.

Early on the second day, when dawn had just broken, Tang Xiaowu opened the door and wanted to find his uncle and aunt.

But as soon as she took two steps, she saw that tragic scene.

The uncle and aunt who had been chatting and laughing with him the night before had their intestines cut open and their internal organs were thrown all over the floor. But strangely, there was no blood on the ground.

Even the flesh and blood of uncle and aunt seemed to disappear out of thin air, turning into mummies that seemed to have been dead for tens of thousands of years.

That terrifying scene lingered deeply in Tang Xiaowu's mind, and even now, he still can't forget it.

Listening to Tang Xiaowu's story, Lu An suddenly felt something bad.

If this thing is just an urban legend, then it doesn't matter and can be treated as a joke. But since Tang Xiaowu has experienced it personally, I'm afraid there may really be some terrifying creatures appearing here at night.

Although in Lu An's opinion, there may still be other explanations for this matter. For example, her uncle and aunt may have offended someone, but there are only so many living people in this village, and they often interact with each other. They help each other and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.Even if you really offend someone.They shouldn't be so cruel, and according to Tang Xiaowu's description, the blood of these two people was drained, just like a mummy.

It is already obvious that it is not man-made.

Perhaps Tang Xiaowu noticed Lu An's expression at this moment. She immediately put away her emotions that had just dispersed, and smiled at Lu An: "You don't have to be too nervous, because as long as this talisman is there, no matter what is outside, No creature of any kind will come in. This is based on the experience and testing passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors."

"Oh? This amulet is so useful. Where did you get this amulet?"

Lu An stepped forward, took the amulet in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

The material of this amulet actually looked ordinary, like it was randomly carved on a stone picked up by the roadside, but the pattern on the stone aroused Lu An's interest.

It seems that this is not a random drawing, but must have some kind of symbolic meaning.

Tang Xiaowu shook his head, "I don't know either. The origin of this talisman's existence is no longer clear. I don't know how many years ago it appeared. We only know that as long as we use this talisman and make sure the doors and windows are closed, Under the circumstances, there won't be any danger. But speaking of it, I do know where the pattern on this amulet comes from."

"This is the emblem of our Tang clan."

"So we have always believed that our ancestors must be protecting us. Otherwise, the terrifying monster would have slaughtered us all long ago, and there would be no possibility of survival."

Listening to Tang Xiaowu's story, Lu An took the talisman and carefully finished it for a moment. However, he couldn't see any more doorways, so he could only let it hang on the wooden door.

But I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lu An always felt uneasy when he looked at the amulet.This feeling was very uncomfortable, but Lu An couldn't figure out why.

After looking around, Lu An's eyes gradually stopped on the amulet.

He suddenly discovered that the strange feeling came from this amulet.He felt like the pattern on the amulet was like an eye watching his every move.

That uneasy feeling comes from this sense of danger of being spied on.

When Lu An turned around and was about to remind Tang Xiaowu, she suddenly heard a rushing sound coming from Tang Xiaowu's side. After a closer look, Tang Xiaowu actually asked her to take off all the armor on her body, revealing her naked body. That fair and graceful figure.

Chapter 519 Split personality?Two souls in one body?

And the moment Tang Xiaowu took off her clothes, she suddenly let out a surprised scream, and her voice turned sharp.

"Ah, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

This voice is completely different from Tang Xiaowu's voice just now, and this voice is more in line with the characteristics of Tang Xiaowu's appearance.

As if the person speaking at this moment was the real Tang Xiaowu, she grabbed the armor on the ground and put it in front of her chest, but as if she was worried about something, she did not wear all the armor on her body.It wasn't until Tang Xiaowu saw Lu An turning his attention to her that she immediately restrained herself a lot and said to Lu An awkwardly.

"Can you please give me a moment? I want to get a set of clothes from under the bed. If I remember correctly, there should be clothes underneath."

Tang Xiaowu said in a soft voice.Of course Lu An would not stop her, but turned his back to her.

"Don't worry, I won't look back."

There was a rustling sound coming from behind.Lu An took this opportunity to look outside the room. Although there seemed to be no industry here, Lu An discovered that this wooden house still had a window-like setting. However, the windows were not made of glass, but almost Transparent crystal stone.

If this kind of crystal stone were placed in the outside world, it would probably be enough to cause looting by dignitaries. However, at this moment, it is just polished and used as a window in a wooden house.

Through this crystal stone, Lu An could vaguely see some things outside, but it was relatively blurry. When the sky got darker, it would be a bit difficult to see the outside world clearly.

"Okay." Tang Xiaowu's relaxing voice suddenly came from behind.

Lu An turned around and saw that Tang Xiaowu had taken off his armor and put on clothes woven from tree bark. This layer of bark should have been taken from the things Lu An had seen used as Food plants.

Although it looks a bit ugly, it is obviously much softer than armor. People in the village rarely wore this kind of clothes before.Lu An thought about it carefully, and it seemed that when he saw Tang Xiaowu, although she was wearing clothes made of armor, she could vaguely see that the lining was also made of bark.

In this space, this kind of clothes is obviously not particularly easy to make. Compared with armor, every part of the clothes made of bark requires a lot of effort to make, let alone Made it into a garment.

Lu An didn't believe that he could spend so much money to make such a piece of clothing. Is it just to make it feel more comfortable?

Tang Xiaowu came to Lu An, and as if by magic, she took out a piece of white meat.

This piece of white meat seemed to have been dried, as if it had been exposed to countless wind and sun, and there were still some salt particles on it. Tang Xiaowu skillfully took out a set of pots and pans from under the bed.

She looked at Lu An and said gently: "You are hungry, I will cook you something to eat later."

"Fortunately, no other tribe members have come here. I have kept this piece of meat here for a long time. I marinated it with salt before leaving."

Lu An looked at Tang Xiaowu, who was extremely virtuous at this moment, and there was something in his heart that he didn't know whether to say or not.

The contrast between Tang Xiaowu and Tang Xiaowu was too great. At this moment, Tang Xiaowu looked about the same as Lu An's previous impression of her.

But why is there such a big gap between them even though they are obviously the same person?

Lu An was suddenly startled, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the white armor placed aside.

Before Tang Xiaowu put on this white armor, she was like this now. But after taking off this layer of armor, she returned to her normal state. Could it be that this layer of armor actually has some kind of special ability? ?

Before Lu An could ask, Tang Xiaowu opened the wooden house and walked out. At the same time, she warned: "Be careful. Although it's not dark yet, we can't rule out that strange insects will come. I'll go first." Get some water, otherwise this meat will be really hard to cook."

Lu An watched Tang Xiaowu's figure leave before his eyes, and his heart was filled with doubts. Where is the water source nearby?

I had just come here with Tang Xiaowu. Let alone water, I didn't even see a single normal plant along the way. Apart from hair, there were just more hairs or strange insects.

But think about it, since people like Tang Xiaowu and others can live in this space for so many 10 years, they must have a way to survive. Things like water sources may have been marked accordingly, at least they will not be thirsty. The extent of starvation.

Sure enough, not long after, Tang Xiaowu came back with a large pot of water.

She simply washed the piece of meat with water and threw it into the pot, and then prepared to cook the meat.

But Lu An didn't see her bringing back any firewood. Just when Lu An was about to ask, he saw Tang Xiaowu snap his fingers.

A ball of flame appeared out of thin air at the bottom of the pot.

This flame does not have any burning medium, it simply appears out of thin air at the bottom of the pot and continuously heats the pot.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on the tip of Tang Xiaowu's nose, not because of the temperature, but because controlling this flame seemed to be a burden for her.

Lu An's expression became even more exciting. If Lu An's understanding of the so-called internal skills and mental methods before was only limited to the style of painting that was more inclined to martial arts, but at this moment, the skills displayed by Tang Xiaowu were definitely more than At this point, this is more like a fairy.

Being able to control flames out of thin air in the normal human plane, Lu An has only heard of flame magicians who can achieve this ability, but Lu An is very sure that all game panels in this space are completely disabled. In such a state that even he himself couldn't try to summon it, Tang Xiaowu was naturally even more impossible, and frankly speaking, Tang Xiaowu and the others had never come into contact with the ability of the game panel. In other words, the ability that Tang Xiaowu was using at the moment The ability comes entirely from herself.

Tang Xiaowu seemed to notice Lu An's curiosity, and her face suddenly turned red, "This is actually a small trick, not a skill at all."

Lu An nodded. He did realize that although this kind of flame could heat, it had no lethality. After all, Tang Xiaowu was already so reluctant to control the flame for heating. If he wanted to apply it, In a battle, that would probably tire people to death.

"The ghosting technique you mentioned before, if this technique has the help of inner strength and mental techniques, can it also exert similar magical power?"

There was a trace of doubt on Tang Xiaowu's face, as if she was thinking about when she mentioned the ghost shadow to Lu An, but she soon came back to her senses and said seriously: "No! The ghost shadow is much stronger than this trick. Let's put it this way, the ability of this trick I use now is actually in the previous era."

"It is an ability that most people can use, but the ghost shadowing technique is a technique that only top figures can practice."

In this way, Lu An probably understood the intensity of ghost shadowing in the technique, which was basically at the level of the ceiling.

After roughly understanding this matter, Lu An's attention shifted to Tang Xiaowu. He looked at Tang Xiaowu who was concentrating on cooking meat and asked.

"Then why is there such a big gap between you before and after you put on the armor? It's as if you are a completely different person. If I hadn't been looking at you, I would even think you are two sisters, exchanging identities with each other, teasing me. Just like children."

Lu An's words were originally meant as a joke, but unexpectedly, Tang Xiaowu's expression suddenly froze.

Her expression became a little gloomy and she said: "You are right. What you just saw was not me, but another soul in my body, who is also my sister, Tang Xiaowu."

This time it was Lu An's turn to widen his eyes in surprise.

"Another soul?"

"Yes, another soul. My sister and I are one body and two souls."
