A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

"Liu He, take this gun. If anyone makes any trouble, just shoot."

"Alright, Brother An," Liu He said, taking the hunting rifle and patting his chest.

"Give me the gun, or I won't be polite." Guang Ge stared straight at Liu He.

"Liu He, quick, give the gun back to Brother Guang," Zhang Yun said immediately.

"No, this was given to me by Brother An." Liu He shook his head and refused.

"You're asking for it." Guang Ge couldn't take it anymore. He strode up to Liu He and punched him in the forehead.

However, before he could hit Liu He, Zhou An reached out and grabbed the other man's fist.

"Ten times the strength of an ordinary person?" Zhou An's heart stirred slightly.

I reckon this Guang Ge is a power-type ability user.

The next second, Zhou An exerted a slight force in his hand.

"Snap!" A crisp sound.

"Hmm!" Guang Ge groaned and looked at Zhou An with disbelief.

Guang Ge's wrist was snapped by Zhou An.

"My hand... You are a chosen one, but how can you be so strong?" Guang Ge clutched his wrist and took several steps back.

"Consider this gun as compensation for puncturing my pickup truck's tires," Zhou An said calmly.

"Lead the way, let's go see your village." Zhou An said, walking directly to the pickup truck and lifting the vehicle up.

This scene left everyone speechless.

This vehicle, along with all its cargo, weighs at least five or six tons.

Now Zhou An has actually lifted him up, something even a power-type chosen one like Brother Guang couldn't do.

No one dared to say anything more, and they climbed over the broken fence and entered the woods.

Some people were still cleaning up the traces of their presence.

They walked and stopped in the woods, making several turns, and after about half an hour, they arrived at a village.

It's called a village, but it's really just hollowed-out dead trees used as houses.

There are quite a few wooden houses nearby, and there seem to be quite a few people there.

Zhou An even saw children.

However, each of these children was covered in tumors, which made them look extremely frightening.

"Brother Guang, Brother Guang, you're so beautiful, such a beautiful older sister."

"Big sister, big brother, you smell so good."

"Beautiful, all beautiful!" the children cheered.

"Is there someone new? They should be human, definitely not a monster."

"It's good to have new faces. Look at them, they're all so fair-skinned and delicate."

"My God, look at that guy, he actually lifted up a car."

"The Chosen One, it must be the Chosen One! Another Chosen One has come to our village! That's great, haha."

The villagers in the village also kept looking at Zhou An and his group.

"Ah Xue, are there monsters in the village?" Luo Qing whispered to Luo Xue.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue shook her head: "They are all human, there are no monsters."

"So, this really is a human settlement?" Liu He exclaimed excitedly.

"I have a feeling that something's not quite right here," Luo Qing muttered.

"It's alright, we only need the information. You don't need to worry about security," Zhou An said with a faint smile.

As the group arrived at the center of the village, more and more villagers gathered.

Zhou An glanced around and found there were at least a hundred people.

This shows that there are quite a few people in the village.

These people were all pale-faced, but none of them were thin.

"Cousin, why are all those children covered in tumors?" Liu He asked Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun sighed and said, "Alas, there are undetectable toxins in the air outside."

“These children were born outside the farm and have been like this since they were little.”

"But humans like us who escaped from farms are not affected by the toxins."

Liu He nodded: "I see."

His gaze toward the children also became somewhat sympathetic.

Zhou An casually parked the vehicle on the ground and looked at Guang Ge: "Baldy, where's your village chief? I need to ask him something."

"What did you call me?" Guang Ge looked at Zhou An through gritted teeth.

"Baldy, you don't have any hair, and I don't even know your name, so isn't it right for me to call you Baldy?" Zhou An looked at Brother Guang with a puzzled expression.

“You…” Guang Ge was furious.

He has always been the undisputed leader in the village.

Now they suffer such a humiliating disgrace.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?" Zhou An said indifferently.

"Hmph!" Guang snorted coldly, no longer looking at the other party.

Just then, the crowd began to disperse, and an elderly man, leaning on a cane, slowly walked over.

"The village chief has arrived."

"Village Chief."

"Village Chief."

The villagers around them all shouted.

This shows that the village chief has a high level of prestige in the village.

"Dad, my hand is broken. Please treat it for me." Guang Ge went straight to the village chief and raised his broken hand.

"How could you be so careless?" The village chief shook his head and reached out to touch Guang Ge's wound.

A green light flashed.

Soon, Guang Ge's severed hand was completely healed.

“A healing ability.” Luo Qing suddenly looked at Zhou An.

“No wonder, no wonder this guy can become the village chief.” Zhou An nodded slightly in his heart.

In this monster-infested and desolate world, medical supplies are bound to be scarce.

Therefore, someone with healing abilities would be of great use.

Guang clenched his fist and nodded in satisfaction.

The village chief then looked at Zhou An and said, "Good, good, you also have the ability to heal."

"We've found the successor to the next village chief! Great, great, hahaha!"

The village chief then burst into laughter.

“Me? The village chief’s successor?” Zhou An was slightly taken aback.

"What? He also has healing abilities?"

"My God, that's wonderful! Our village can continue to exist."

"I never expected that the next village chief would be among the newcomers this time."

The surrounding villagers were in an uproar, all extremely excited.

Guang Ge also looked at Zhou An with an incredulous expression.

"Oh dear, so you have healing abilities too. You'll have to stay here."

“My dad won’t last much longer. Once he dies, you’ll become the village chief.”

"Once you become the village chief, the whole village will listen to you." Guang Ge's expression changed quickly.

One second they were fierce, the next they turned into good brothers they hadn't seen in years.

“Me, the village chief? Sure, why don’t I just become the village chief?” Zhou An said, his gaze fixed on the village chief.

Zhou An had already sensed that something was wrong.

The village chief's gaze remained fixed on him, his eyes filled with longing.

“No, to become the village chief, a ceremony is required.” Brother Guang quickly shook his head and refused.

“My son is right. Let’s do it tomorrow. Tomorrow we will officially hold the village chief succession ceremony.” The village chief nodded.

At this moment, Brother Guang spoke up again: "Zhang Yun, take your cousin and the others to those empty houses at the east end."

"Remember, don't go out recklessly while in the village; it's dangerous outside."

"We're in the Ghost Forest now, where it's easy to get lost, and there are also blood crows, rotting rats, and tree monsters."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An remained silent and followed Zhang Yun with Liu He and the others towards the east end of the village.

Zhou An gave Liu He a wink, and Liu He nodded slightly.

Liu He immediately asked his cousin, "Cousin, how did you escape back then?"

“Back then, I was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and was directly admitted to Peking University. When I was on the bus, I realized something was wrong.”

"Later, Guang and the others came to my rescue, otherwise I might have been eaten by the monster."

At this point, Zhang Yun paused, then continued, "Our village is very safe. Now that you have escaped, you can stay here without worry."

"We've arrived. You can stay in these two rooms tonight."
