The Mysterious Dungeon: A Survival Guide to the Twelve Talismans

"Have people drowned?" Li Shengsheng frowned, took out her phone and started searching online.

“Yes, I found it. A girl drowned at Orange Isle a few days ago.” Li Shengsheng quickly showed the news she found to Zhou An.

Chapter 47 Huang An

"Let's go to that area." If nothing unexpected happens, the drowned girl is Huang An.

I didn't expect Huang An to be such a newcomer.

If that's the case, he's considering how to treat Huang An.

Should they kill each other, or keep their distance and avoid conflict?

Zhou An admitted that he was not a cold-blooded person, but...

……

About half an hour later, Li Shengsheng arrived at the place where Huang An had drowned.

This is near the waterfront promenade, a lively place with people coming and going. You can enjoy the cool river breeze and see the bright lights on the opposite bank.

"Are we just going to wait here?" Li Shengsheng felt out of place amidst the bustling city.

It was as if they were from two different worlds.

“Okay, let’s wait.” Zhou An nodded.

"By the way, half an hour has passed. Do you want to use your ability to reset it?" Li Shengsheng asked hurriedly.

She could actually use the power of the horse talisman herself, but she still wanted Zhou An to try it out.

"I'll give it a try." As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, he activated the power of the horse talisman and applied it to the stone hat.

【Stone Hat】: An ordinary stone hat.

Effect: Rule-based item. When worn, you will become an ordinary stone by the roadside, ignored by others.

Note: Do not wear it for more than 30 hours within a month, otherwise it will become impossible to remove and will be permanently ignored. It will automatically reset at 0:0 on the 1st of each month.

Time remaining this month: 30 hours

"Wow, it really reset!" Li Shengsheng exclaimed.

A smile appeared on Zhou An's face.

It seems that the power of the horse talisman is indeed very strong, and it is effective in many ways.

Time passed slowly, and it was nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Orange Isle is already closed to the public and will be completely closed at 10:00 AM.

Although there are still many tourists in the scenic area, the number has decreased by more than half compared to before.

A gentle breeze blew from the river, and the cheerful laughter of a family could be heard from time to time along the path.

Many couples were also seen holding hands, enjoying the ambiguous atmosphere.

At this moment, Li Shengsheng's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

Bright eyes stared intently at the distant water surface.

"Uncle... there are people on the river." Li Shengsheng pointed her fair finger in that direction.

Zhou An looked over and then saw a figure walking across the water from the opposite bank.

This scene is just like that of a legendary martial arts master.

However, this shocking scene went unnoticed by the surrounding crowd.

Even many tourists who were leaning against the railing looking at the river didn't notice.

"Don't panic, they're just players. Just enjoy the show," Zhou An said in a deep voice.

He wouldn't let Li Shengsheng take action because Li Shengsheng's identity absolutely could not be exposed.

But he was already dead, so he didn't have much to worry about.

In just a short while, Zhang Ya had arrived at Orange Isle.

She stood lightly on the fence, her eyes constantly scanning something.

"Huang An, Huang An, are you there? I've come to find you," Zhang Ya shouted in all directions.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Zhang Ya suddenly looked in a certain direction.

Zhou An also looked in that direction.

Then a familiar figure came down from the tree-lined slope.

"Sister Xiaobao? You're here." Huang An was overjoyed to see Zhang Ya.

Zhou An was slightly taken aback. He stared around for a long time but couldn't find any trace of Huang An. Unexpectedly, the other party was hiding up there.

"Yes, I'm here." Zhang Ya also smiled.

Zhang Ya immediately jumped off the fence, then suppressed her excitement and murderous intent, and slowly walked towards Huang An.

As the two drew closer, Huang An remained as surprised and excited as ever.

"Haha, you're really stupid, you actually revealed your name and the location of your death."

"You are the second player I have killed. If I kill you, I can reach level 10 and break through to the next level."

Zhang Ya's face instantly turned ferocious, and a rusty kitchen knife appeared in her hand at some unknown time. She slashed straight at Huang An's face.

Even though she had confirmed that Huang An was a newcomer, she still approached her cautiously before making a move.

Just then, a faint light shone from Huang An's body.

A crisp "clang!" rang out.

Zhang Ya's cleaver struck the eerie light, producing a crisp, metallic clang.

At that moment, Zhang Ya's ferocious face turned to astonishment, while Huang Ya's excited expression turned to disdain and contempt.

The next moment, a paper knife appeared in Huang An's hand.

In an instant, a flash of white light appeared, and Zhang Ya's legs were severed.

Huang An kicked out, and Zhang Ya's body flew out instantly, landing less than two meters away from Li Shengsheng.

"Ahhhh!" Zhang Ya's hand slipped from the cleaver, and she let out a painful howl.

Her once beautiful face suddenly turned pale and weak.

"You... Huang An, you... you're not a newcomer!" Zhang Ya endured the excruciating pain and looked at Huang An in horror.

"Sister Xiaobao, you've guessed wrong. I'm the newcomer."

"But... I'm a Spirit Contracter, and my contracted spirit finally died in the dungeon."

"I've trained him very well. It's a pity, I also want to enter the dungeon, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to let him die." Huang An's face flashed a morbid smile as she slowly walked over.

"You're a Spirit Contractor? No, impossible. If a contracted spirit dies in a dungeon, how could you not die in its place?" Zhang Ya stared intently at Huang An.

"Sister Xiaobao, I've already said it, I've trained him very well."

"Still making moves? What, does Sister Xiaobao think she can still turn the tables on me?" Huang An narrowed her eyes slightly and made a light slash with the paper knife in her hand.

The next moment, Zhang Ya's right hand was chopped off again, and a large amount of blood spurted out.

"Ah~~!" Zhang Ya screamed again.

"No, don't kill me, Huang An, spare my life, I'll give you anything, everything." Zhang Ya didn't want to die.

"Sister Xiaobao, how can I leave the place of death if I don't kill you?"

"How can I level up if I don't kill you? If I kill you, everything you own will be mine."

"Or, you can scream a little longer. I like to hear the wails of living things before they die." Huang An's morbid smile became even more ferocious.

Combined with Huang An's pure and beautiful face, it possesses a unique, eerie, and morbid beauty.

Zhou An watched this scene with a flickering gaze.

Huang An was indeed a newcomer, but Zhou An did not expect that she was actually a Spirit Pacter.

Her contracted spirit died inside the instance, but instead of letting Huang An die in her place, she chose to die herself, allowing Huang An to inherit everything from her and enter the instance.

Therefore, the reason Huang An revealed her death location in the instance was to lure Zhang Ya or Su He to kill her, thus freeing them from the restriction of their death location.

Chapter 48 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

Moreover, Huang An was gambling that either Su He or Zhang Ya would come here.

Even if they can't come, she'll still try to fool them in the next multiplayer instance.

If she can successfully deceive even one person, she can break free from her constraints and gain freedom to hunt other players and seek out spirit partners.

"As expected of the Dark Forest Law, if that's the case, then I won't be polite." Zhou An wanted these two heads; even if Jesus came, it wouldn't make a difference.

The next instant, Zhou An indeed made his move.

The moment it emerged from Li Shengsheng's body, the ghostly power within it gathered on the cutting knife.

One slash—

There were no dazzling flashes of blades, only attacks that were incredibly fast.

Before Huang An could react, Zhou An's knife was already slashing at Huang An's neck.

The next moment, a white light shone on Huang An's body.

A loud "Bang!" rang out.

The blood-red jade pendant that Huang An was wearing shattered instantly.

Huang An was also sent flying by this slash.

Just as Huang An was about to fall into the water, she suddenly adjusted her body and landed steadily on the railing.

Her frightened eyes were fixed on Zhou An: "It's you...you're a player too?"

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! I just wanted to join in the fun, but I ended up witnessing such a wonderful show." Zhou An clapped his hands and spoke calmly.

Although he didn't kill Huang An with a single blow, he didn't care.

"Help me, sir, help me!" Zhang Ya's eyes lit up when she saw Zhou An make a move, as if she had grasped a lifeline.

Zhou An didn't turn his head, but simply waved the scissor in his hand.

The next instant, Zhang Ya clutched her neck, her face filled with astonishment.

[Successfully defeated player Zhang Ya, your level has increased to LV11]

Kill Zhang Ya first to prevent Huang An from escaping.

Huang An stuck out her pink tongue and licked her sexy little lips: "My prey has been killed by you, so you will become my prey."

"Prey? Heh." Zhou An sheathed his sword and walked towards Huang An.

Upon seeing this, Huang An's expression changed slightly, but she did not move.

As Zhou An drew closer, Huang An made his move when they were only three meters apart.

However, instead of attacking with the paper knife, she blew Zhou An a kiss.

Kiss of Death —

The next moment, a visible lip flew out.

The lips were pitch black, like the mark of death.

Seeing this, Zhou An remained unmoved and continued forward.

The next second, her lips were pressed directly against Zhou An's cheek.

The cool touch made Zhou An pause in his steps.

He hadn't expected that the amulet wouldn't be able to block the flying kiss.

Does the yellow clover have four tiers? Absolutely not.

If it were really the fourth level, Huang An would have already dealt with it before Zhou An could even make a move.
