A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"You piece of trash, you took my money and you don't want to work?"

"If I tell you to go, then go obediently. If you don't, I'll break your legs and feed you to the demons tonight," Zhou Feng shouted sternly.

"Yes, yes, Brother Feng, I'll go, I'll go right now, please don't kill me." Tie Niu covered his swollen cheek and ran away quickly.

He didn't even dare to pick up the two taels of silver that had fallen on the ground.

"What a foul smell, Dad. This Tie Niu is a coward. Maybe I should make the trip myself."

“Kill that good-for-nothing Zhou An, just in case, and we can also investigate what happened at the watchtower,” Zhou Feng said to the village chief.

"That's right, Dad. Our whole family can practice martial arts, but we all ended up killing Zhou An's parents."

“We can’t practice martial arts in peace until we get rid of that good-for-nothing Zhou An,” Zhou Shan, the village chief’s second son, chimed in.

“Father, it’s only because you’re kind-hearted that I could have killed that guy with a legitimate reason when she spied on me taking a bath that night.” The village chief’s third daughter, Zhou Luan, also felt a little regretful.

"Hmph, do you think your father is a fool?"

"How I wish I could kill Zhou An, but there are so many people in the village, and his parents have such a high reputation in the village."

"You only peeked at you taking a bath, but you beat someone to death. How are you going to explain this to the villagers?" the village chief said irritably.

"Father, they're just peasants. We're martial artists now, what are we afraid of? I could crush them with one hand," Zhou Feng said coldly.

“That’s right, that’s right. Our whole family practices martial arts, so why can’t these peasants know that?” Zhou Shan was suppressed by his father and couldn’t reveal his identity as a martial artist.

This greatly displeased Zhou Shan, but he dared not refuse.

"Zhou Shan, put away your little schemes. You're not serious about martial arts, but you're very interested in women."

"I heard you sneaked out again last night? Which girl did you ruin?" The village chief's eyes were fierce as he looked at Zhou Shan.

Zhou Shan looked strange and stammered, "Father, don't worry, I used sleeping powder and cleaned myself up afterwards, so you definitely won't be found out."

"Second brother, you're disgusting." Zhou Luan glanced at Zhou Shan with disdain, his tone undisguised.

Zhou Shan didn't speak, he just kept his head down.

The village chief stopped looking at Zhou Shan and instead focused his gaze on Zhou Feng: "Xiao Feng, do you know that ten years ago, our Zhou family were also peasants?"

"What? After practicing martial arts, you think you're superior and no longer a peasant?"

"Or do you think you're really that great now?"

“Father, we were indeed peasants before, but now our whole family are martial artists.”

"We're no longer peasants, we're the newly rich. Even if we go to Yunfeng City, we'll have a place there," Zhou Feng said, his face full of excitement.

"Bullshit! We're still peasants, not newly rich! And we're supposed to have a place in Yunfeng City?"

The village chief would say something and then strike Zhou Feng with his cane.

Zhou Feng tried to dodge, even using his combat agility, but the village chief's every move hit Zhou Feng precisely.

"Ah~~ Ouch~~ Daddy, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Daddy~~!"

Zhou Feng cried out in pain a few times, and finally hid behind Zhou Luan to avoid further attacks.

“The three of you are only at the Body Tempering Realm right now. Your father is at the peak of Body Tempering Realm. This is just the first step for a martial artist.”

“When your father went to Yunfeng City, he was just a dog, someone who could be beaten and killed at will.”

"I said I would keep a low profile. Once I've digested the resources left by Zhou An's parents, I'll definitely be able to advance to the Bone Refining Realm."

"It's only two or three months, can't you even tolerate that much time?" the village chief said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Father." The three were delighted at first, and then replied respectfully.

“If something happens at the watchtower, someone from Yunfeng City will definitely come to investigate.”

"I estimate they'll arrive at our Xiaofeng Village in an hour or two. Please be respectful then and don't cause any trouble for me."

"Otherwise, family discipline will be applied," the village chief said in a deep voice.

When the three heard about the family punishment, they all trembled.

The three of them quickly responded.

Zhou An, who was on the rooftop, frowned.

Judging from their words, it seems that Zhou An's parents are also martial artists.

However, they were betrayed and killed by the village chief's family, who also seized their legacy, causing all four members of the family to become martial artists.

Although they were not Zhou An's parents, this still made Zhou An's expression turn cold.

Since he has taken over this person's identity, it is only right that he seeks revenge.

Zhou An watched the departing group, his gaze finally settling on Zhou Luan.

Women are the easiest to deceive, and also the most timid.

Zhou An immediately transformed into a mosquito and flew directly to Zhou Luan's courtyard.

Before long, Zhou An entered the house.

Zhou Luan didn't notice anything; obviously, the mosquito was too small for her to detect.

Zhou An, who had just entered, happened to see two maids helping Zhou Luan undress.

There was also a maid scattering flower petals in front of a bucket in the inner room.

This is for taking a bath.

Zhou An stared intently at Zhou Luan.

He was observing Zhou Luan, trying to see if Zhou Luan had actually discovered him.

To get a better look, Zhou An moved closer and was able to see everything about Zhou Luan clearly.

To be fair, although his character isn't great, his figure and skin are undeniably amazing.

Especially those who have practiced martial arts, whose skin has a healthy wheat color, have an even more unique charm.

"You may all leave," Zhou Luan said to the three maids.

"Yes, Miss." The three maids responded and left the room.

"Splash!" Zhou Luan entered the bucket of water and immersed himself in it.

This also prevented Zhou An from observing the other party any longer.

Zhou An took out an earmuff prop and threw it directly on the wall.

Suddenly, a transparent, invisible soundproof barrier enveloped the entire room.

This device can prevent external sounds from entering and internal sounds from leaving, and can be set arbitrarily.

At this moment, no sound from inside the room will escape.

Zhou An immediately appeared.

However, Zhou Luan did not notice at the moment that she was lifting her little feet to drain the water, seemingly finding it very interesting.

And with each draining, a mysterious dark forest appears.

“Miss Zhou, what a refined taste you have, taking a bath in broad daylight,” Zhou An said softly.

"Who?!" Zhou Luan's expression changed drastically in an instant.

She sank directly into the water, leaving only her head above the surface.

His gaze suddenly turned to Zhou An.

"Zhou... Zhou An? You... you're not dead?"

"Wait, why are you here?" Zhou Luan was extremely shocked.

"Miss Zhou, as expected of someone who practices martial arts, you have a fantastic figure. It's the best figure I've ever seen in the world, bar none," Zhou An praised.

"You saw everything?" Zhou Luan said through gritted teeth.

“Yes, I know the location of all the moles and even the birthmarks on your body.” Zhou An nodded seriously.

"You're asking for it." Zhou Luan couldn't hold back any longer and burst out of the water, kicking Zhou An.

This is not an ordinary kick, but some kind of martial arts technique.

Because Zhou An could see that there was a gathering of qi and blood on Zhou Luan's right leg.

This kick would instantly kill an ordinary person.

But against Zhou An, it was child's play.

Zhou An simply reached out and grabbed the wet and smooth calf.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Luan was startled and grabbed the edge of the wooden bucket with his left arm to support his body.

He then raised his left foot and continued kicking at Zhou An.

Seeing this, Zhou An raised his other hand and grabbed Zhou Luan's left leg.

The current situation is that Zhou An has grabbed her legs with both hands.

Zhou Luan grabbed the edge of the wooden bucket with his left hand to support his body.

“Miss Zhou, although I know you are very generous, this is the first time I’ve seen you so generous,” Zhou An said with a faint smile.

“You…” Zhou Luan blushed instantly.

Then she gritted her teeth, exerted force with her palm, and pressed her entire body close to Zhou An.

And his right hand glowed with blood as he struck Zhou An's chest with a palm strike.

This is the Blood Jade Hand, a low-grade Yellow Rank martial skill. Once it hits, the blood energy will invade the body, and even a god cannot save you.

A muffled thud!

Zhou An withstood the blow head-on.

“Miss Zhou, you’re a bit too weak. By the way, did you wear perfume? You smell nice.” Zhou An’s expression remained calm.

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, he exerted force on his hand.
