Chapter 1845: Chapter 1690: Escape Game 42
After storing the short sword, Thunder Attraction Talisman, and Water-Repelling Pearl in the weapon space, Shuangshuang couldn’t find anything else in the Xuanwu’s corpse.
As for what Shuangshuang was hoping for before she came down here, whether she could get a Xuanwu inner core or something, there was nothing of the sort, leaving Shuangshuang somewhat disappointed.
However, Shuangshuang did feel a bit of residual Xuanwu energy from the bones of the Xuanwu, although not much, but Xuanwu is a Divine Beast.
Even though this Xuanwu’s bones seem to be from a juvenile Xuanwu, it’s unclear why it died in the game, but even a small amount of Xuanwu’s power is very strong.
Just that her current body does not have cultivation qualifications, otherwise she could absorb this energy.
That way, she could basically sweep through the entire escape game, but unfortunately, such delightful things can only be imagined now.
She can indeed torture one or two or ten or eight ghosts, but if suddenly a hundred eighty ghosts came, she’d definitely be doomed.
Seeing nothing particularly special, Shuangshuang reluctantly left, having gained so much, this game has been quite generous, there’s no need to be too greedy.
When Shuangshuang came out, Xiao Zhongjing’s protective shield hadn’t disappeared yet, he was holding his phone, using the flashlight to illuminate the water surface, staring at it seriously.
It wasn’t until he saw Shuangshuang emerge from the water that his expression relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shuangshuang climbed out of the water, shook her hair, her clothes wetly clinging to her body, very uncomfortable, and Shuangshuang regretted not bringing spare clothes out, mainly not expecting to enter the water.
Xiao Zhongjing looked at Shuangshuang with her clothes tightly stuck to her body, revealing her curves, blushing a bit, pointed to the side and said to Shuangshuang, "I lit a fire, why not dry your clothes before heading out."
After speaking, Xiao Zhongjing considerately turned around, facing away from Shuangshuang, making it convenient for her to deal with the water on her clothes.
Shuangshuang turned her head and found that in the direction Xiao Zhongjing pointed, a small fire had been lit. Though there were no plants in this Sky Pit, outside the vegetation was lush, and dried branches and leaves would fall down.
Over the years, a considerable amount of burnable dry wood had accumulated at the bottom of this Sky Pit. While waiting for Shuangshuang earlier, Xiao Zhongjing had thought that Shuangshuang’s clothes would be wet, hence he lit the fire in advance.
Shuangshuang twisted the water from her clothes, but didn’t feel comfortable taking them off, so wearing her clothes, she sat by the fire to dry them. Although the weather was hot, the bottom of the Sky Pit was cool, and it’s cold in the water.
Didn’t feel it underwater before, but now wearing wet clothes, it was indeed cold, and her stomach was a bit hungry.
Unfortunately, since there was a Xuanwu corpse underwater, the Xuanwu’s aura was too oppressive, no creature could survive in this water area, even if she wanted to catch a fish to cook and eat, it wouldn’t be feasible.
Xiao Zhongjing sat by the fire, adding the previously gathered wood one by one to maintain the fire’s burning.
Shuangshuang soon had her clothes almost dry, thanks to the thin summer clothes, and then took out the things she obtained from the Xuanwu’s stomach, briefly explaining the situation below to Xiao Zhongjing.
Then Shuangshuang gave Xiao Zhongjing the Ghost Killing Short Knife and two Thunder-Attracting Jade Talismans, now having a short sword, the short knife wasn’t of much use.
The reason for giving Xiao Zhongjing two Thunder-Attracting Jade Talismans was mainly considering that Xiao Zhongjing was too weak, in case he used one against a ghost and then encountered bad luck with another ghost, he’d be doomed.
So having two Thunder-Attracting Jade Talismans for defense lets Shuangshuang feel more at ease. As for herself, Shuangshuang is confident that even with danger, one Thunder-Attracting Jade Talisman is enough to escape.
Xiao Zhongjing’s face went red as he repeatedly declined: "No, I can’t take these things, whether in analysis or obtaining these weapons, I didn’t contribute, it wouldn’t be right to take advantage of you."
Shuangshuang grabbed Xiao Zhongjing’s hand, forcing the items into his hand: "Just take them, are we not teammates?"
"Although we’re teammates, I can’t take your items for nothing, it wouldn’t be fair." Xiao Zhongjing pursed his lips, still refusing.
"We are on the same team, you have no self-defense capability at all, I have to worry about you.
Your physical strength enhancement was too few times, your combat power is weak, with these two items, you won’t be left defenseless if you encounter ghosts.
Besides, won’t you share any good items with me in the future? Since we’re teammates, let’s not worry too much."
Shuangshuang’s attitude was very firm, and Xiao Zhongjing eventually accepted, clearly he was too weak, and with these two items for defense, he’d be much safer.
Moreover, Shuangshuang was right, he wouldn’t stay incompetent forever, and one day, he’d repay Shuangshuang’s kindness doubly.
After baking for a while longer, Shuangshuang’s clothes were almost dry, she prepared to leave the Sky Pit, directly grabbing Xiao Zhongjing’s belt and taking him out.
Fortunately, the rock walls surrounding the Sky Pit weren’t smooth, there were many places to step on, although deep, getting out was not too difficult.
Once out of the Sky Pit, they felt the scorching heat, and the two quickly descended from the mountain and returned to the inn with hurried steps.
When they arrived at the inn, it was already around three or four in the afternoon, the players hadn’t returned yet, and the entire inn only had Shuangshuang and Xiao Zhongjing two players back.
Old Jin wasn’t in the inn, the entire inn was devoid of any service personnel, eerily empty, the inn had suddenly acquired a kind of strange sinister feeling.
Shuangshuang touched her stomach, very hungry, Xiao Zhongjing was also hungry, but he was fine, being an actor meant irregular meals, going hungry was commonplace.
Shuangshuang couldn’t bear it, unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t starve herself. She directly called out to Xiao Zhongjing: "Let’s go, check the kitchen for anything to eat, if not, we’ll cook something ourselves."
The location of the kitchen was easy to find, in the inn’s backyard, Shuangshuang went in for a turn, there was preserved meat, preserved chicken and duck, preserved sausage, preserved fish, lots of preserved flavors.
The supply of vegetables was also quite good, these preserved foods had recognizable ingredients, Shuangshuang took them to cook without worry.
She cooked a steamed preserved fish, two preserved meat with fried vegetables, noticing a clay pot, she made two clay pot rice dishes.
With Shuangshuang finishing the dishes, the clay pot rice was nearly done too, she intended to open the lid to check the doneness, but opening it, a foul stench rushed towards her!
The smell was overwhelmingly strong, making Shuangshuang nearly vomit, upon closer inspection, she found the clay pot rice had turned into a decomposed human head.
Unknown how long the head had been chopped off, it was swollen and deformed, the flesh rotting, stinking, with maggots wriggling in the decayed flesh, incredibly nauseating.
