Although Du Jun and Cheng Shuang discovered the Taoist's burial site, they didn't touch the dagger for fear of disrupting the formation and causing a greater disaster before leaving the instance. Who knew that without the book 'Tian Xuan Zhi' and the gray cloth that wrapped the book as a clue, Lian Rong and the couple would have taken the dagger without any scruples.

It's truly a case of perfect coincidence; if it weren't for these three daring individuals, this situation would have been a dead end.

The others withdrew, and the old man, Lianrong, and Luo An became the main force in attacking the enemy.

The remaining people watched the grandfather and grandson's moves with shining eyes, hoping that even if they could learn a few simple tricks, it would be enough to help them escape if trouble arose.

Unfortunately, some martial arts moves may seem simple at first glance, but without a coach's detailed guidance, they can be quite different. Often, one may understand the moves visually, but not be able to follow through with their limbs.

Cheng Shuang recalled the few moves Liao Yuewei taught her. Although she didn't have many opportunities to practice them, the girl wasn't completely clueless. When she was training at the convenience store, she would pick up those moves and practice them intensively.

So while watching the grandfather and grandson fight the ghost, my eyes quickly followed their movements, and I assessed my own strength. At least I couldn't win, but I wouldn't be killed in one move either, and I could always find a chance to escape.

Of course, if she had just stepped into the cycle of reincarnation and encountered a big boss like Ghost Shadow, then the only thing waiting for her would probably be the end of the whole story.

With the martial arts skills of the grandfather and grandson combined with Luo An's speed, it took them almost no time to penetrate the Ghost Taoist's Seven Stars position. In the instant of the final strike, the Ghost Taoist screamed deafeningly, its entire body bursting into light, as if it were daytime in an instant...

'Ding! Congratulations, player, you have perfectly cleared the hidden dungeon!'

After leaving the instance, Cheng Shuang and her two companions met four other temporary teammates in the urban village.

The sky was beginning to lighten, and they simply didn't have the energy to venture into any new dungeons. In just one day and one night, they had traversed three dungeons with completely different backgrounds. Although they were all safe and sound, it had been incredibly exhausting.

After a brief exchange, Han Meimei and Li Lei returned to the Han family home, where the grandmother and granddaughter rented the last room in the only small hotel they owned.

Before leaving, Han Meimei pointed out a place without any dungeons to Cheng Shuang and the other two. There was a river outside the urban village, and the scenic path along the river was usually deserted. If they didn't choose a sheltered spot under the bridge, there was a spacious enough place to set up camp and sleep for a few nights.

The area under the bridge is the best haven for homeless indigenous people to rest at night. It is conceivable that Cheng Shuang and her two companions would need to avoid it if they did not want to have a conflict with them.

Besides, they do have houses for outdoor camping.

Cheng Shuang's small villa immediately came into play. Although the riverside path was not very spacious, a section of it was a street garden, the kind that was free to enter and exit. Because the garden was next to the road and separated from the residential area, not many pedestrians came here to stroll. Its main function was to beautify the environment. Occasionally, college students would choose to come here to date on weekends.

The villa is connected to a safe house. The circular protective membrane automatically flattens out on the bottom side when the animal lands. Alternatively, a transparent membrane that completely hides the animal in the safe house can be chosen, which makes it easier for animals and pets to interact.

Once this feature is activated, the safe house will lose most of its function, and the villa can only rely on the most primitive door lock to protect people and pets. However, for Cheng Shuang, who uses it as a place to stay, the membrane will attract more attention, especially in the current environment.

Upon entering the villa, Du Jun and Sun Han, who were considered "poor," immediately expressed their resentment towards the rich.

Although the other people in the convenience store also bought safe houses, none were as luxurious as the one that the wealthy Old Axe gave to the little girl. It had the most advanced protection, and the interior and exterior facilities were exquisite and complete, completely comparable to a normal living environment in human society.

Sun Han also saw a small indoor swimming pool, which was only 10 meters long and a little narrow, just enough for one person to swim freely. It was set up in the entertainment room next to the living room on the first floor.

The second floor houses the master bedroom and study. The master bedroom features exquisite and comfortable furniture, reminiscent of a temporary hotel room on an animal planet, allowing guests to choose different environments to suit their mood. The study is smaller, with books replaced by various small toys, resembling a little princess's secret garden—clearly a custom-made version by the author.

The third floor consists of two pointed-roof lofts that can serve as guest rooms or storage rooms. Because he was aware of the little girl's different needs, the old man didn't make any arrangements for these two places. They had simple floors and windows, and the rest was left to his little one to do as she pleased.

Each floor has a bathroom, and the drainage pipes are equipped with energy conversion equipment. Although it is not as convenient and fast as absorbing solar energy, it serves as a backup power source for the safe house.

The only thing missing from the entire villa is a kitchen; however, the living room does have a dining area with a dining table and chairs.

However, for the safety of both humans and pets, the safe house cannot be customized with any electrical appliances, including kitchen utensils. Old Axe had no choice but to use the corner area behind the dining table to set up a triangular bar counter with a highly safe electrical socket that can be connected to cooking utensils such as induction cookers and ovens. This is more than enough for the little girl who can only cook porridge.

The attic has rainwater collection or water filtration systems on both sides to provide daily water for the villa, while wastewater from the swimming pool or bathroom can be recycled and filtered for indoor mist cleaning.

Most importantly, the villa is temperature-controlled, and the protective film can withstand a certain degree of natural disasters.

Everything that Old Axe brought to Cheng Shuang was something she would always remember.

Seeing even the seemingly indifferent young man showing a sour expression, the little girl curiously asked what the safe house they bought looked like.

No amount of talking could compare to showing her. Sun Han took out his safe house next to the villa. Inside the frosted membrane was a small bungalow, and then that was it.

The bungalows were so rudimentary that even the bathrooms were open-plan.

The bed is a wooden plank bed, the only furniture is a wardrobe, the most advanced thing is the bathroom, which has a small energy converter, and the water can only be stored as rainwater. If you encounter a small river, you can use the most primitive method of carrying water to fill it up to increase the storage capacity.

While bungalows and safe houses can protect against severe weather, they can also be affected by extreme temperature differences. For example, when the temperature drops to minus twenty degrees Celsius, the temperature inside the house will be around zero degrees Celsius, while when the temperature exceeds forty degrees Celsius, the temperature inside the house will rise to the twenties.

In short, compared to the other side, their safe house was a huge waste of money.

To comfort the two men's wounded hearts, the young girl invited them to stay at the villa, but only in the attic.

Because there was a spare mattress, which was much more comfortable to lay on the floor than the wooden plank bed in the bungalow, and neither of them were masochistic, they accepted Cheng Shuang's kindness without hesitation and slept soundly.

Around noon, after lunch, we returned to the entrance of the urban village just in time for the agreed time.

The three of them had secretly agreed to continue teaming up with Han Meimei and her friends. After the previous dungeon, they had all keenly sensed that Han Meimei's identity was not simple. Even if she was just an ordinary native, her willingness to date Li Lei was extraordinary.

Cheng Shuang and the other two were somewhat prepared. Perhaps Han Meimei, who had revealed her identity directly, was trying to lure them into a trap. However, this place of death was rather baffling. If they continued in this state of ignorance, they would be defeated before they even had a chance to be lured into a trap.
