Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"Oh my god!"

"Is this place really still the 'meditation room' area?"

"I feel like I've walked through more than a dozen 'meditation room' areas—"

Carrying Wen Lan on her back, An Lan walked towards the area outside the well.

Logically speaking, the "Mahavira Hall" should be right in front of the "Meditation Room". As long as you keep walking forward, you should be able to find the "Mahavira Hall"! At the very least, it should be some kind of "Mahavira Hall" area, right?

Can!

The further you go, the stranger the surrounding scenery becomes!

Dead bamboo stalks haphazardly stuck in the ground, puddles of water appear on the ground, and the muddy country lanes seem to stretch on forever...

"Tick-tock—tick-tock—"

The sky was filled with dense red clouds, and drops of blood fell onto An Lan's face. An Lan kept her head down and continued forward...

Suddenly!

A bright light shone in the sky!

"What?"

"Is the sun out yet?"

An Lan hadn't even looked up yet!

【Hey! Watch out!!!】

The necklace around her neck trembled rapidly, and An Lan's face showed surprise!

"BOOM!!!"

Overhead, it wasn't the sun shining, it was a hand!!!

A gigantic, white, bony hand pierced through the thick clouds and pressed down on him, as if a giant stood outside the clouds, his massive hand sweeping across the clouds to crush ants!

"Holy crap!!!"

"【Hua Jiu Shan Xiang】!!!"

The enormous hand descended rapidly, and An Lan was certain that even with [Wild Growth], this blow would probably turn him into a pulp!

certainly...

The passive effect of "Wild Growth" might be able to withstand this inevitable death, but who knows if a second bone-like hand will come crashing down?!

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"

After the smoke from 【Hua Jiushan Xiang】 filled the air, a smoky skull surrounded An Lan. The descending giant bone hand slowed down, and An Lan immediately carried Wen Lan and ran for a while!

"Sizzle—"

and!

An Lan had only run a hundred meters when the incense from Huajiu Mountain burned out completely.

"Depend on!"

"What was that thing all about? [Hua Jiushan Fragrance] is gone just like that?!"

I can't even imagine!

You can burn [Hua Jiushan Incense] multiple times in any dungeon, right?

This time, the bone palm was refined in an instant!

"Damn it..."

"What kind of world is this?"

He hurriedly ran further away, and could faintly hear the sound of splashing water...

......

"Boom!"

After Anlan left, the Brahman followed along the muddy bamboo path.

He had already seen An Lan's figure appear in the distance, and had just breathed a sigh of relief...

"call--"

"Is this kid going to be my whetstone after all...?"

"I--"

"BOOM!!!"

"BOOM!!!"

The words had barely been spoken when two enormous bone hands, like two meteorites falling, plunged the entire path into darkness!

"Wh...what?!"

The Brahman stared blankly at the sky above. He had neither the [Hua Jiushan Fragrance] nor the [Wild Growth], and as the two giant hands rapidly descended, he simply stared wide-eyed, still in shock!

The image of the divination I performed in the meditation room suddenly came to mind!

A crystal ball shattering is an ominous sign!

"No--!!!"

"boom!!!"

The massive, heavy bone palms slammed down, creating two enormous palm prints on the ground without any obstruction or slowing effect! Then, as the two bone palms lifted off the ground again...

Beneath the deep pit, the Brahmin had been pressed down to a mere patch of human skin, blood oozing everywhere...

【No! No! Master Astrologer! 】

[I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this! Why does the Astrologer encounter two bone palms! There's only one An Lan!]

【No--!!!】

【...】

With the Brahman's death, the entire [Asan Kingdom] chat exploded!

......

"Splash..."

"Splash..."

At the end of the muddy path was indeed a small pond.

In front of the small pond, some women were still sitting and bathing in the water.

These women were still wearing monks' robes, but they had removed their hats. Some had unbuttoned their shirts, revealing large expanses of their bellies, while others had taken off their trousers, their plump legs floating on the water's surface...

They were playing and frolicking, somewhat reminiscent of the scene where Pigsy sees a female demon bathing.

"Come on! Come on!"

"Watch me splash you!"

"Oh dear! My clothes are all wet!"

"..."

An Lan stood motionless in front of the pond.

No need to think about it—

This pool full of women is definitely full of bones!

Wow... what a handsome young man!

"Hey handsome, what are you waiting for? Come down and wash with me!"

"Yes! Mandarin ducks playing in the water!"

"..."

The sound of splashing water reached An Lan's side. An Lan closed her eyes and began to recite the Heart Sutra: "Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, perceived that the five aggregates are empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress..."

"Relics..."

"Buzz—"

The moment the distracting thoughts cleared from An Lan's mind, she was about to wade into the water to cross over!

Suddenly!

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

A large, brightly colored python suddenly emerged from the water!

It was about the thickness of a anaconda, with a colorful body and a head several times larger than an adult's. When it opened its mouth, its forked tongue flicked out, and the hissing sound immediately drowned out An Lan's chanting of the Heart Sutra.

The strangest thing about this snake is its tail. Instead of being thin and long, it looks like it has an iron block tied to it. The tail part is a huge cylindrical shape, as if it is pulling a huge rock!

"Form is not different from emptiness... emptiness is not different from form..."

The Heart Sutra can still help to eliminate distracting thoughts from the mind.

However, this time, because of the appearance of the snake, the women were not turned into skeletons by the sound of the Heart Sutra. Instead, they swam towards An Lan, wading through the water!

"Wow—what a handsome young man..."

"Hey handsome, open your eyes and look at me!"

"Why won't you look at me...?"

"..."

A seductive, soft voice rang out as An Lan chanted the Heart Sutra, her figure inexplicably retreating backward!

[A mirage]!

In that instant, [Mirror Flower Water Moon] was activated!

On the surface, An Lan was running backwards, but she was actually moving forwards!

Anlan had used this trick many times before!

Can!

"Bang!!!"

The tail of the multicolored snake underwater suddenly whipped up and slammed towards An Lan's face as she retreated. The strange, cylindrical tail lashed out and distorted An Lan, causing her to disappear!

"All dharmas are empty in nature; they are neither produced nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing..."

and!

An Lan, chanting the Heart Sutra and walking forward, has reappeared!

There was no road at the end of the pond at all!

An Lan crashed into an "invisible wall" with a "bang," and instinctively opened her eyes to find a pair of small, skeletal hands already clutching her chest!

"If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe your eyes are empty..."

"Damn it!!!"

A soft, melodious voice rang out. An Lan turned her head and saw a huge, skeletal face staring intently at her, grinning broadly: "Little brother! Do you like me? Do you like me?!"

"Hey handsome..."

"Hey, there's me too—"

More and more skeletons crawled towards him from the pool!

An Lan's face darkened!

How can we play like this?

He was carrying Wen Lan on his back. Should he make a move?

If you take action—

Even if he could fight the five-colored giant snake to a standstill, Wen Lan, whom he was carrying, would definitely be strangled to death by these skeletons.

If we don't take action...

"Damn it... if this is a dead end..."

"The [host's] house is located here; how did the previous inhabitants leave?"

"The ancients...that bitter melon..."

An Lan's face was already held by a pair of bony hands, and countless skeletons around him throbbed, completely surrounding him. An Lan didn't panic; instead, his mind became increasingly excited!

My thinking has become clearer!

Assume!

If Huanglian knows that the Buddhist beads are in another world, then has he been here before?

He was able to come here and return to his original world...

So, did he clear this level?

If these assumptions hold true, then there must be a way out here!

As for where the way out lies? What is it?

It's okay if I didn't understand it this time...

There will be a next time!

Calmly watching the "five-colored snake" swim towards her in the water, coiling around her in circles, An Lan looked at its eerie tail with a strange expression!

[Wow! Emperor An is so lucky! So many beautiful women?!]

[Hehehe—ladies and gentlemen, include me, Old Pig, in the group!]

[It's absolutely a visual feast!]

【...】

The viewers in the live chat seemed completely oblivious to the truth, genuinely believing that An Lan was currently surrounded by a group of beautiful women, enjoying a romantic bath together...

"Next time..."

"Next time, I'll see just what these 'prayer beads' really are!!!"

"[The perfect timeline]!!!"

"Buzz—"

As the colorful clock icon flashed, the surrounding scene began to freeze!

The water splashed, the coiled snake tail, and the skeleton remained motionless. Then... the coiled snake body began to unwind, and the skeletal hands retreated...

Anlan chanted the Heart Sutra and began to back out of the pond...

fall back...

fall back...

fall back...

The image kept rewinding until...!!!

"If you ask me, I'll go to the vegetarian restaurant later! I can go alone; the food there is just what I'm meant to eat!"

"Then Jiang Lai and I will go check out the [Main Hall]! With Jiang Lai there, there shouldn't be any major problems! If anything goes wrong, we'll come back here..."

"..."

Inside the meditation room, the five-person group reunited. Zhao Kuo and Long Ao were planning their next move, their eyes both fixed on An Lan.

An Lan's eyes suddenly flickered, and this time she actually shook her head and refused.

"Need not..."

"Everyone, please refrain from exploring recklessly for now..."

"Huh?! Why?!"

Zhao Kuo's reaction was the most obvious!

"That 'India National Team' thing, who can beat me? I can explore alone and speed up the process! Why not go?"

"because..."

"I learned about this temple through a skill; I might be entering another dimension later..."

"That world is strange; we'd better not separate!"

"Huh? You have another skill that can do this?!"

Zhao Kuo glanced at An Lan suspiciously, while Long Ao originally intended to interrupt An Lan.

Can!

His eyelid twitched inexplicably!

Because just now—

[Reversing cause and effect] Ah, the grand ambition I set before, [the whole team leaving the dungeon], suddenly flickered in my mind!

Reversing cause and effect

[Current Ambition - The entire team leaves the instance]

[Price: Increase the intimacy between Anlan and Liaoye, and uncover enough clues!]

Current progress: 15%...

"Sizzle sizzle—"

Current progress: 17%

Yes!

It's like there's a glitch; the progress bar... inexplicably jumped and increased by 2%!!!
