There is a lucky cat in the dream

Chapter 392 The Man in the Fog

Only then did Lin Xiaolang feel a little relieved, but within two steps, she thought of another possibility: "But what should we do if we can't get out of this mission?"

Ye Chixu pursed his lips, looked at her and said seriously: "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Huanglian and the others."

Coptis and Scutellaria turned their heads together at this moment.

"Believe, believe." Lin Xiaolang said repeatedly, "Thanks to Huanglian...Master, I was so safe just now."

Grandmaster?

Huang Lian couldn't help frowning when he heard this name, and said: "Just call me Huang Lian, there is no need to add anything later."

"Okay." Lin Xiaolang huddled behind Ye Chixu and nodded repeatedly.

Ye Chixu looked back at her with a smile, then pulled her to his side and walked side by side.

She continued to comfort Lin Xiaolang, "As long as we get back to the house, we should be able to go out. We don't know the mission of the second ring yet. If we encounter it on the road, we will do it. If we don't encounter it, it will be considered luck."

Lin Xiaolang hugged Ye Chixu's arm, looked vigilantly at the thick fog surrounding him, and said, "Then I actually hope that we will have better luck today, don't make any troubles, it's best if we can go out, let's talk about it after a level of advancement, It's too difficult to skip a level..."

"I also hope this is the best." Huang Lian, who was walking in front, suddenly said, "If you skip a level now, the subsequent tasks will become increasingly difficult. And there are no instructions for subsequent tasks. Blind exploration may lead to Something went wrong."

Ye Chixu felt that the one who was blindly exploring seemed to be herself...

Huang Lian had buried a clue to his spiritual power before he came here, and now he and Huang Qin were trying to find it along this thread while holding on to their spiritual power shield.

The fog ahead was too thick, and if it wasn't for this guiding line, they might have gotten lost in the forest.

The line of spiritual power was also getting thinner under the siege of dense fog, Huang Lian and the other two had no choice but to seize the time and lead the other two in the team to follow this clue and walk out.

But the closer they got to the destination, the thicker the fog, and there were even faint footsteps outside of them in the woods.

"Is that wraith coming?" Cat Zai looked back vigilantly, "I heard his footsteps... Wait, why did he have footsteps?"

"This wraith may have materialized. How long has that happened? Has it been seven or eight years?" Huang Lian turned around and asked.

"Almost ten years." Lin Xiaolang replied.

"Then it probably already has an entity." Huang Lian used his spiritual power to transform into tree roots, and trapped Lin Xiaolang inside. "Store manager, you should be able to keep up."

"No." Ye Chixu silently jumped onto Huang Qin's back again, "But I can probably use my mount."

Huang Qin caught her and was ready to sprint.

The footsteps behind him became louder and more fragmented, as if they had sensed their intentions and stepped up their pace to come here.

"run!"

Following Huang Lian's order, the two of them shot out like arrows.

The footsteps paused, and then quickly accelerated, but after a short period of time, they were left far behind because they couldn't keep up with the steps.

"It should have been thrown off." The kitty shook his ears and said, "Can we keep going back to the house at this speed? It's always better to be safe."

"Yes." Huang Lian nodded and said, "The power of the spiritual power line is getting weaker and weaker. The way back is far longer than when we came here. We have to speed up."

Several people kept jumping among the mountains and forests, and after a while, they dimly saw the villa they had stayed in before in the thick fog.

"But it's not that we didn't get the key, the door of the study room still can't be opened." Ye Chixu remembered this matter the moment he saw the house.

Huang Lian immediately rushed to open the door: "Forget about the study, let's go into the house."

Sure enough, he couldn't open the door.

"Lin Xiaolang, come here." Huang Lian threw Lin Xiaolang who was bound by tree roots to the door.

"I..." Lin Xiaolang suffered from the phobia of opening the door again.

"Hurry up, the footsteps are approaching again, if we don't open the door, we might all be caught by him." Huang Qin urged anxiously.

"Ah -" Lin Xiaolang screamed and finally opened the door.

The dust inside the door rose slightly, but the speed of its descent was broken by the four people and a cat who quickly swept into the door, and it was carried into the air.

"Is it safe for now?" Ye Chixu slid off Huang Qin's back, "Can I open the door to see the outside world now? It should have recovered, right?"

"Don't act rashly, we just came in." Huang Lian stopped her and said, "If you want, go and see the rooms inside the house first. Maybe the key is inside if it's not outside. There are still many rooms that we haven't opened. , you can also go and take a look.”

Outside the door, a desolate figure stood outside wearing a blood-stained shirt and holding a western-style kitchen knife.

"Humph."

Looking at the closed door, he squeezed out a cold snort from his nose, and left with the knife in his hand.

"Let's go." Maozai whispered to Huang Lian.

He is now following Huang Lian, while Ye Chixu and Lin Xiaolang are being looked after by Huang Qin. The three of them have already gone upstairs.

"Can you find the key? You are better than me at finding items." Huang Lian said while stroking his head.

The kitten shrugged its nose: "I can roughly sense its position, but it's a pity that it's in the yard, and we don't dare to go out easily now."

"It's good to be able to sense the direction, and then we two can go out and get it." Huang Lian looked up and glanced upstairs, and said, "Don't take them out to take risks together, it's not safe."

The kitty turned his head to look outside and said, "If the two of us go out, we should be able to come back."

Huang Lian helped the cat cub to follow the hair: "I have already given the ball of light you gave me to Ms. Rose, and the initial judgment should be a small flower spirit. Whether it can be fed or not depends on going back to the store." Let's talk again."

"Is it a flower spirit that needs to be watered by Xu Xu's spiritual power?" the cat raised his head and asked.

The tree spirit supported the cat with one hand, and used the other hand to conjure up the shape of the light ball: "It should require spiritual power for early maintenance. She is very fragile."

Before the cat had time to observe the ball of light carefully, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching the villa again.

"Here it is again." He shook the tips of his ears and looked back at the light ball. "It seems that he appeared not long after we got this light ball. This light ball must have a great effect."

Huang Lian squeezed out the dumpling in his hand, and said: "According to what you said, this light cluster is placed in the maze. Things in this kind of place must have a great effect."

The cat nodded: "Then let's leave it here for now."

"I have a good idea." Huang Lian put down the kitten, transformed into the spiritual form of Ms. Rose with his left hand, held the small ball of light in his right hand, and moved his hands together in the middle, letting Ms. Rose's ball of light completely cover the small ball of light. live.

Quiet.

It was completely quiet outside.

The civet heard the birdsong that should have been in the valley.

"Sure enough, this little dumpling is the key." Huang Lian smiled wryly, "Don't move things casually after you come in, it's still moving."

The cat cub flicked his tail, turned his face and said, "I thought it was the key before, but I didn't expect it to be just a trick. The real key should still be in the yard."

"This trick is terrible." Huang Lian put away the mixed dumpling in his hand, "This should be the key to enter that world, and the key to Lin Xiaolang's missions in the next few rings. I have to tell her."

"What do you want to say?" Ye Chixu and Lin Xiaolang said lying on the second floor and looking down.

Huang Lian raised her head and said calmly: "The little dumpling you got should be the key to open another world, so leave it with me first, and come to me when you need it next time."

"What?" Ye Chixu was startled, she dragged Lin Xiaolang and ran down the stairs, "That dumpling that looks like it's going to die is actually the key to opening another world?"

Huang Lian nodded and said, "It's not wrong to think of it as a key. It's normal for you to be misled."

"Where is the key to the study?" Ye Chixu asked.

"The key to the study should still be in the yard." The kitten wagged its tail.

Huang Lian thought for a while and said, "If it's as expected, the location of the key to the study should be near the location of the light group, or it should be the same location."

"Then can we go out and get it now?" Ye Chixu asked, "We have seen all the rooms on the second floor, and they are basically empty. There is no information. There is only one room in the attic that Xiao Lang went to before." This diary... Sure enough, who is a normal person in this age who still keeps a diary..."

"If you can go out to get it, but we have to go." Huang Lian picked up the cat and said, "The risk factor is too high for you to go out to get it. We should go to protect ourselves."

"Then wouldn't it be dangerous for us two to stay in here?" Lin Xiaolang whispered.

Huang Lian has already reached out to open the door: "There is Scutellaria, you don't have to be afraid."

"Really..." Lin Xiaolang looked at Huangqin with some suspicion.

It's not that she doesn't trust him, it's just that the level of strength shown by him and Huang Lian is quite different.Huang Lian could take her away with only tree roots, but when he was running, he had to use his back to carry Ye Chixu.

Ye Chixu thought for a while, and felt that it would be safe for the two of them to go: "It is indeed safer for you to go, if it is not possible, can I forcibly summon you?"

Huang Lian nodded: "That's exactly the truth."

"Then you go." Ye Chixu lifted the dustproof cloth covering the sofa, sat on it by himself, and then pulled Lin Xiaolang to sit down, "Estimate how long it will take for you to go out. Just pull you back."

"If we go out to the garden in the normal direction, we can come back in less than 5 minutes." Huang Lian said.

Ye Chixu touched the watch on his wrist: "Then I will give you 10 minutes. If you get the key, you can also tell me in the channel in advance, and I will bring you back directly."

"it is good."

Huang Lian nodded, hugged the kitten and opened the door to go out.

When going out, Huang Lian hesitated a little, but chose to close the door without leaving a single gap.It would be bad if a vision invaded the room later.

"Can they come back safely?" Lin Xiaolang asked nervously.

Ye Chixu tapped his watch and said, "For this task, Huanglian's ability is definitely possible."

……

Huang Lian took the kitten out of the villa, and the outside room was already full of bright moonlight.

The yard was brightly illuminated by the moon, and there was no trace of the thick fog that had appeared before.

"Can it be located?" Huang Lian lowered his head and asked Maozai.

"It's on the right side of the flower bed." The cat raised its paw and pointed, "Just plant roots here."

Huang Lian nodded, and tentatively inserted a root that was transformed from spiritual power.

"There is something below." He frowned, "It feels similar to the thick fog before, and it will eat back my spiritual power."

"Then we can only use physical methods to dig." The cat looked around and saw a dead branch on the edge of the bush, "Just use that to try."

Huang Lian put him down, went to pick up the dead branch in his hands, held it firmly, and started digging down on the place Maozai pointed out just now.

After a while, he dug up a shiny and reflective thing.

"Is this it?" Huang Lian threw away the dead branch, picked up the kitten with one hand, and reached out to fetch it.

Cat Zai contacted Ye Chixu and said, "I found the key, and I'm going to send us back."

The countdown starts simultaneously on both sides of the channel: "Three, two, one!"

At the same time that Huang Lian picked up the key, Ye Chixu also used the spirit deed to pull them back.

Almost at the same time, the dense fog that had disappeared instantly closed around the pit.

The figure with the knife slowly walked out, then slowly squatted beside the empty pit, and slammed the knife in.

Let them go again!

Huang Lian appeared in the living room holding the cat and holding the key.

"Phew, it's a good thing to run fast!" The cat writhed and fell to the ground, "Don't be too strong with the resentment attached to the key! If we don't see such an obvious trap, then we are too stupid .”

Huang Lian threw the key on the table, and the copper key collided with the glass making a crisp sound.

"If it hadn't been forcibly summoned to pull us back, we would be dead today." He also let out a long breath, "It's rare to encounter such a strong resentment and such a strong murderous intent. He should be the owner of this house." Master, that's right."

"Since he is the owner of this house, why can't he come in?" Ye Chixu covered his hands with spiritual power, then picked up the key and handed it to Lin Xiaolang, and motioned her to go upstairs to open the door.

"Chichi, come with me, I'm afraid of being alone." Lin Xiaolang didn't answer, but just pulled Ye Chixu's clothes and said.

"Let's go up together." Huang Lian frowned, "This house and this garden are far more complicated than we imagined, it's safer for everyone to stay together."

"That's okay." Ye Chixu stood up after Lin Xiaolang, "When you open the door later, wrap the key with your spiritual power and open it. Just like me now, it's safer."
