At this moment, she couldn't help but look at the chair and found a pile of papers lying there.

Chapter 10 Boom! Boom!

The pile of papers lying there must have been blocked by the skin before, so Lu Hongling didn't notice it just now.

After vaguely seeing the ink marks on it, Lu Hongling couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, and there was a little more brilliance in her eyes.

This is just like opening a coffin while robbing a tomb. It is very scary when opening the coffin because people are afraid of corpses rising up and traps. But after opening the coffin, their mood changes.

Because people are animals that look at results. As long as there is treasure in the coffin, the adventure is worth it.

This is how Lu Hongling feels now. She came here at the risk of her life and suffered all kinds of shocks along the way, just like a tomb robber opening a coffin.

Tomb robbers don't like empty coffins, and she doesn't want to find nothing.

The stack of papers in front of her gave her hope.

This thing should be left by Xi Yu, right?

Lu Hongling quickly picked up the stack of papers.

In the light of the candle, she found that the papers were very old. Not only were they yellowed, but they were also very thin, like cicada wings, and they felt like they would break if touched.

Lu Hongling carefully picked up the first piece of paper and read the contents on it - "When you wake up, you will be very hungry and want to eat, but you will also be very scared. After all, you slept for so long that even your memory is fuzzy. We are trapped!"

After seeing the words "We are trapped!", Lu Hongling suddenly felt scared.

The font used to write this sentence is very ordinary, but it exudes a sense of despair.

"I shouldn't have taken that elixir of life. It wasn't a gift, but a punishment that trapped me here.

God does not exist, and neither does ancestral blood.

You must remember that you are Xi Yu, the saint of Luoxing Sword Academy, and I am also Xi Yu, the layer of skin that is about to be shed from your body.

I really don’t know how to tell you this. It seems so absurd, but it is true.

After taking that medicine, I did gain the ability to live forever, but the price was death.

Every time I die, a new me is born, like... you now.

But at this time your memory will become very vague, as vague as a dream full of fog.

Remember, when your shed skin is about to turn into a human, you must bury it in that room outside. Not too early, not too late, just when it can just stand up but can't talk yet.

Believe me, you don’t want to know what that thing is, remember!

I am human! And so are you!

I really want to leave here, but I can't. I have tried many times but failed. I hope you can leave here.

Remember, never eat human ears, never..."

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just then, a knocking sound suddenly rang out.

The sound came from the window and was so sudden that Lu Hongling trembled all over with fright.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The knocking on the window was not loud, but it was very clear in the silent environment.

Xi Yu?

At this moment when the atmosphere was extremely tense, Lu Hongling calmed down instead.

Her years of experience taught her that the more she was in such a situation, the more she should remain calm.

The other party kept knocking on the window but didn't come in. Maybe he wasn't sure either?

Or rather, it’s not Xi Yu?

Lu Hongling quickly picked up the skin and placed it on the chair. Then she hung the paintings that had been removed on the wall again and jumped into the space behind the fifth painting.

Lu Hongling was very fast, and it was not difficult for her to accomplish such a task with her cultivation level of Moving Mountains.

So, it didn't take long before the five paintings were hung on the wall again, except that there was one more painting of her behind the last one.

According to Lu Hongling's idea, if the other party came in immediately, he would definitely not be able to confirm her exact location, and that would be her opportunity.

It is difficult to escape from a terrifying thing like Xi Yu, but she is not completely without a chance.

Time was slipping away, but the knocking outside the window never stopped.

Lu Hongling was in darkness, with a slightly shaking armchair beside her.

She was a little nervous, and her palms were wet as she held the sword.

According to Lu Hongling's plan, she would suddenly attack when the opponent determined her position, and then run away with all her might after ambushing the opponent.

But her plan failed because the other party had no intention of coming in, but kept knocking on the window.

The thumping sound was like a death talisman, knocking on Lu Hongling's heart.

The longer this sound continued, the more uneasy Lu Hongling became.

She felt like this place was a cage, she was trapped inside, and the other party just wanted to catch her in the trap.

Lu Hongling, whose attention was completely focused on the outside, did not notice that the skin on the armchair next to her stood up at this time.

The picture stood there, as if looking at Lu Hongling, but also as if not looking at her.

When Lu Hongling noticed that there was an extra "person" behind her, all the muscles in her body tensed up.

Lu Hongling is indeed a world traveler who has seen the world. Even in this situation, she did not scream.

She held her breath, observing the skin out of the corner of her eye, only to feel the sinister gazes behind it.

This look was like needles piercing her back.

Lu Hongling couldn't help but think of the words she had just read on the paper - "Remember, when your shed skin is about to turn into a human, you must bury it, not too early and not too late, when it can just stand up but can't speak yet.

Believe me, you don’t want to know what that thing is, remember!”

Now there was a skin standing behind her, and outside there was a terrible knocking sound.

Cold sweat kept oozing from Lu Hongling's forehead, making her look hot, but in fact she was very cold.

Just as a drop of sweat slid down the bridge of her nose to the tip of her nose and was about to drip, Lu Hongling slapped the skin with a sword in her backhand, and her body shot out from the painting like a feather arrow.

The inaction just now was purely to build up strength, and when Lu Hongling moved this time, it was as fast as lightning.

She had just broken out of the painting, but the sword in her hand had already cut the window open with a bang.

The knocking stopped abruptly, but there was no one behind the window.

Nothing.

But the space outside the window is so narrow. If there is nothing there, where did the sound come from?

These thoughts only flashed through Lu Hongling's mind. She knew that now she had to rush out in one go without any hesitation.

Suddenly, a few afterimages appeared in the air, and the oil lamp on the table was blown out by the strong wind, plunging into darkness.

At this time, Lu Hongling had already rushed out of the window.

After rushing out of the window, she didn't stop for a moment, but ran faster and faster, like a gust of wind.

In this situation, since she had decided to escape, she naturally had to do it as quickly as possible.

Maybe because of the increased speed, the passage that had taken a long time to walk through suddenly reached the end.

Lu Hongling returned to the house with four tombs. Without stopping, she pushed open the wooden door and came to the stone chamber full of ears.

At this moment, she no longer cared about the dripping blood. She pushed open the wooden door like a gust of wind and came to the stone chamber with the words "want to eat people" written all over it.

Next is the house that says "I don't want to eat people."

The escape here seemed to be going smoothly, which made Lu Hongling see hope.

She felt that as long as she left the stone house outside and entered the rainforest, it would not be easy even for Xi Yu to catch her.

But just as she pushed open the wooden door of the "Don't Want to Eat People" house and was about to enter the passage leading to the stone house on the ground, an accident happened.

Behind the wooden door was not a passage, but a stone chamber.

The walls of the stone chamber were covered with the three words "want to eat people", which was shocking.

Lu Hongling stood in the middle of the stone house and thought for a moment that she was hallucinating.

There should be a passage behind this door, so why is it a house like this?

Lu Hongling was unwilling to give up and rushed straight to the wooden door in the southwest corner.

Behind the wooden door is another stone house with the words "I don't want to eat people" written all over the walls.

maze?

At this moment, Lu Hongling suddenly felt powerless.

She tried hard to control her emotions and calm herself down.

If it was a maze, she would definitely be able to solve it.

for sure!

Lu Hongling walked towards the middle of the stone chamber, ready to see where the door in the southwest corner of the stone chamber led to.

At this moment, there was a clear knocking sound at the wooden door she had just entered.

It was the same sound as the knock on the window in Xi Yu's room just now...

Chapter 11 "Swamp"

When the knocking sound came from behind, Lu Hongling's emotions finally got a little out of control.

Without saying a word, she gripped the sword tightly in her hand, turned back, and then with a bang, she chopped the wooden door into pieces.

Just like last time, there was no one behind the door.

Not to mention people, there wasn't even a ghost.

Pretending to be a ghost?

Lu Hongling did not hesitate and went straight back to the stone chamber.

Since there was no way to avoid it, she didn't plan to hide anymore, so she wanted to see what was causing trouble here.

Unfortunately, the knocking sound stopped abruptly after the door was chopped into pieces, and she found nothing.

Not long after, Lu Hongling's expression changed.

This is because there are three words "Want to Eat People" written on the wall of this room.

But she remembered clearly that when she first came to this room, it was clearly written on it: "Don't want to eat people."

In other words, in just a few dozen breaths, the stone chamber has undergone changes again?

The bloody words "want to eat people" on the wall were so shocking.

At this time, there was another knocking sound from the other door in the house.

This thing is like an evil ghost. Once you get hold of it, you can't get rid of it.

Lu Hongling felt like an animal trapped in a swamp. The more she struggled, the faster she sank, and it was almost impossible to breathe.

She looked around and soon set her sights on the top of the stone chamber.

If we directly break open the top of this stone chamber and penetrate the rock layer, can we get out?

All I heard was a rumbling sound, as if a mountain was moving.

Without any hesitation, Lu Hongling rushed straight up and slammed out with a palm.

After this palm strike was launched, the entire stone chamber shook, and gravel flew everywhere, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

A big hole was blasted out in the seemingly extremely solid stone chamber. Lu Hongling's body fell down and rushed up like a cannonball.

She just wanted to leave now, so she had no more worries.

But after a moment, Lu Hongling discovered that there was not a layer of solid rock above her, but a hollow space.

No, to be precise, it's a stone chamber.
