However, she had no intention of giving in! Even if it meant certain death, she was prepared to fight for a glimmer of hope!
Yan Qing put away the necklace and patted Yue Qi's shoulder casually, "Don't worry, I'm lucky and I won't die."
"Oh, right—" she pointed outside, "You saw that person just now, didn't you? Do you know what happened?"
Although Yue Qi had some guesses, he wasn't entirely sure. "We'll only know for sure tonight. I have a feeling tonight won't be a good night."
“We not only have to be wary of the various traps in the dungeon, but also of Wen Jiajia and Sun Jue. Their actions have completely demonstrated that this Yongning Lane dungeon is a two-player team-based PvP dungeon.”
As Yue Qi spoke, he began to sneer, "Wen Jiajia might have already secretly obtained the S-level pass rules."
She had thought about this problem as well, mainly because these two people's behavior was just too strange. Not only were they constantly on guard against them, but they were also particularly adept at tripping people up, making them extremely insidious.
"However, we're not afraid of them; the components of the formation are in our hands." Yan Qing was very confident. "Anyway, this 'Seven Star Demon-Subduing Formation' is the key."
"As long as we hold onto the stuff, those two will eventually come to us on their own."
This night was noticeably different. Yan Qing sat in her room, watching the sun slowly set.
A bright, clear moon rose, but tonight's moon seemed different from usual.
The moon in the sky that I looked up at was big and round. But when the moonlight fell into the room, the ground shimmered with a blood-red glow.
Could this be the Blood Moon mentioned in the "Rules of Yongning Lane"?
The first rule states that when the blood moon shines on the earth, you can come out and play as much as you like.
The fifth point states that the night of the full moon is the monthly bonfire party in Yongning Lane. As an outsider, remember to prepare your gift in advance.
After several confirmations from various people today, she has confirmed that the rule is true.
The rules only mention that you can come out during a blood moon, which should be for this bonfire party. But given how tricky this dungeon is, it's obvious tonight won't go smoothly.
However, at eight o'clock sharp, Yan Qing still went out with Yue Qi.
When she came out of the Worry-Free Inn, she found that Yongning Lane had become unusually lively, as if a lot of people had suddenly appeared overnight.
On the streets, people carrying white flowers were everywhere, chatting and laughing as they walked toward the small square on the hillside.
Yue Qi frowned, pulled Yan Qing to her side, and whispered,
Be careful, these are not human.
Not human?! Yan Qing's gaze fell on a small magic disc in Yue Qi's hand, the pointer on the disc spinning wildly at the speed of a 100-meter race car.
Yan Qing felt a chill run down her spine. Even though she knew nothing about the secret arts of the Xuanmen sect, the commotion before her was too great, and she wasn't blind!
"Yue Qi, can you see what these people are?"
Yue Qi nodded. "Think about the people who chased us on the first day, and then think about the coffins in the temple today."
Well, it would have been better if this person hadn't warned her at all! She definitely didn't want to be torn apart alive by these people!
Yue Qi focused on the white flowers those people were holding. "Look, they're no different from ordinary people now, isn't it because of the white flowers they're holding?"
Yan Qing looked at it and it seemed to be true. So she quickly took out two white flowers and tossed one to Yue Qi.
"Let's dress up too! I picked quite a few of these white flowers! That should be enough!"
Holding white flowers, the two slowly merged into the crowd heading to the mountaintop.
As she approached the small square, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Wen Jiajia and Sun Jue acting suspiciously.
For some reason, these two people had also changed into white clothes. They blended into the white-clad crowd with pious expressions, and if Yan Qing hadn't had sharp eyes, she wouldn't have recognized them at all.
She tugged at Yue Qi's hand and pointed in the direction of the two people.
Yue Qi saw them too, but Wen Jiajia and Sun Jue seemed completely oblivious to them, maintaining their devout attitude just like everyone else around them.
Yan Qing belatedly realized that their clothes were far too conspicuous. Among the sea of white-clad people, the two of them shone brighter than the brightest stars in the night sky.
Yue Qi also noticed something was wrong. There were quite a few people dressed normally when they were at the foot of the mountain, but why was there no one at the top?
But right now, they don't have time to change their clothes. What can they do?
Yan Qing's eyes lit up, and she reached into her backpack and pulled out two large rolls of medical white cloth, handing one to Yue Qi.
"Quick, let's wrap this around ourselves!"
Yue Qi nodded, and the two began frantically wrapping themselves in white cloth. Before long, they were completely unrecognizable from their previous appearance.
Unbeknownst to them, just as the two were wrapping the white cloth around themselves, Wen Jiajia, who hadn't reacted until now, suddenly looked in their direction, her eyes filled with regret at having her scheme exposed.
These two managed to dodge it again!
After getting dressed, Yan Qing began to imitate the actions of the people around her, carefully sitting on the steps at the edge of the square.
In the center of the square, there was a huge brazier, but nothing was burning inside. Instead, there was a very strangely large model lamp of a flame, emitting a bright red light that looked just like a real flame at first glance.
Yue Qi reminded her, "The people here shouldn't be able to use real flames. It seems that flames are their weakness."
He pulled a lighter from his pocket and handed it to Yan Qing, saying, "Keep this safe, just in case."
While the two were talking, a group of people slowly walked over from the other side of the square.
Yan Qing's expression hardened; she recognized almost all of these people.
The handsome man at the front was the clothing store owner she had met once before, but now he was accompanied by a woman wearing a red cheongsam.
The woman wore her hair in an old-fashioned grandma-style bun, with a white flower tucked into her hair. However, her face was covered by a black veil, so her features were obscured.
Behind them were all shop owners from Yongning Lane. Without exception, they were all dressed in their own brightly colored clothes, making them very conspicuous.
The men were all holding white flowers, while the women wore flowers of various colors in their hair. Except for the woman next to the clothing store owner, all the other women's flowers were colorful.
Yan Qing's eyes fell on the delicatessen owner's head; she was still wearing the same pink paper flower that Yan Qing had seen before.
The shop owner also had the same paper flowers.
"No! The number of people is wrong!" Yue Qi suddenly spoke up, pointing to the last group to enter, his tone serious.
"Yan Qing, where is the family of three from the stationery store?"
