As a newcomer, Lu Cai just wanted to find out the background and mission of this dungeon as quickly as possible.
As for the conflicts among the characters here, they have nothing to do with her. It's a pity that she wants to coexist peacefully, but others don't. If the other party hits her on the head with a knife, there is no reason for Lu Cai not to return the favor.
The Marquis was shocked that she had broken the blade, and when he saw a sneer in her slightly narrowed eyes, he instantly knew what she was going to do.
He had no time to react before he felt a hard kick in the stomach. His whole body flew backwards, and in just a moment, he passed through mid-air and suddenly fell into the pool.
Under normal circumstances, falling into the water would not be a big deal, but now he was in severe pain in his abdomen. The kick Lu Cai had given him was definitely not light. He vomited blood from his mouth and was then poured into the pool water. He was tortured to the point of being worse than death.
Floating in the water, he saw a vague figure on the shore.
The guards were fighting with her, but they couldn't withstand the blows and were knocked to the ground in a few strokes.
The girl in brocade robe stood on the river bank, like a god watching the struggles of mortals with cold eyes, high and mighty with a look of disdain.
He hadn't been treated with such contempt in a long time. This scene seemed like it was ten years ago.
The delicate little girl was dressed in luxurious clothes and surrounded by maids and servants. In the deserted winter streets, she looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world and was stained by dust.
"This is my thing, why should I give it to him?" He still couldn't forget the fairy boy's words, "If he starves to death or freezes to death, it means he is a scabby dog, lazy and greedy, and he deserves to die!"
What he hated was not what she said, but the condescending and mocking smile that looked down on him like an ant.
The Marquis in the water seemed to be struggling, and Lu Cai glanced at him coldly.
He had tried to kill the original owner several times, and Lu Cai didn't know the grudges between them, so it was difficult for him to comment.
But it is true that he is not loyal in love. If he loves the original owner, he allows her to be bullied to this extent. If he says he loves his sister, he only gives her the status of a concubine, which also seems to be a deceptive deception.
The kick just now had already injured him badly. Now he fell into the water, and his life or death depended on his fate.
Just as Lu Cai was about to leave, someone rushed out.
"My Lord!" Wang Shu shouted from the edge of the pool, "Someone come! My Lord!"
She shouted loudly, and the guards came over one after another.
Cai Lu looked at the beautiful girl crying for help and asked, "Will you stay or go with me?"
"Let's go?" Wang Shu finally stopped pretending, her tone cold, "Where are my parents?"
"I still have the ability to protect the three of you." After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, people with superpowers are like gods.
Wang Shu laughed at him, "Lu Cai, you've really lost your mind. How much have you hated my father and my mother over the years? You've forgotten everything, but I can't. I won't believe you want to save us—"
Lu Cai raised an eyebrow. Is this even a plot about the stepmother and the original wife's orphan?
"You're helping us by leaving—" Wang Shu's smile faded, her dark eyes sinking into the abyss. "Once you leave, it's your fault alone. You went crazy and plotted to murder the Marquis, and it has nothing to do with us."
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Lu Cai said no more. He thought that Wang Shu must be no pushover to have gotten to this point.
"Take care of yourself." Lu Cai turned around and walked towards the wall. She stepped on the wall and used the force to climb over the wall.
Outside the courtyard wall is a narrow alley.
At night, several homeless beggars huddled together in the corner of a narrow alley. When they saw a man jumping out of the wall, they shrank back into the corner in fear, fearing that they would be involved in some conspiracy and lose their lives.
Lu Cai touched his sleeve pocket and found that he had no money. He looked at the huddled beggars and could only shake his sleeves and walk out of the narrow alley as if nothing had happened.
After she left, someone from the crowded group of beggars cried out "Ouch!"
"What are you doing?" someone shouted impatiently.
Another thin and weak voice muttered: "A bug is biting me..."
"You have thick skin, and you're afraid of being bitten?" another person laughed. "Aren't we bitten by fleas every day?"
......
She had to find a place to hide, first see what was happening in the Marquis' Mansion, and then choose a time to come back and check it out.
But where should she go now?
Zhao Yan is the prince consort, so she is afraid that she cannot go to the princess's mansion.
Where's the King of Jin? Although he'd confirmed his player identity with the King of Jin, they weren't familiar with each other, and the way he'd said he wanted to compete didn't sound like a formality.
Then she could only go find Qin Yu.
Wangxiang Tower or Princess Mansion?
In the end, Lu Cai decided to go to the Princess's Mansion, mainly because Wangxiang Tower was crowded and she was unfamiliar with the place...
The Princess Mansion was not difficult to find. It was not yet curfew, so she pulled an old man who was selling things on the roadside and told him that her brother worked at the Princess An Ning Mansion. Then she found out the location of the Princess Mansion.
This formal visit and notification would definitely not work, so Lu Cai simply carried out his plan of climbing over the wall to the end. In the end, he climbed up the wall of the princess's mansion and jumped into the princess's territory.
When he looked up, Lu Cai stared at the scenery of pavilions, towers and waterside terraces with envy.
Qin Yu is a wealthy woman in the community, so how can she still be a wealthy woman in the dungeon? What kind of beautiful character is a single princess? Why can't she get this kind of role?
She had only taken a few steps when the palace guards rushed out and surrounded her.
Lu Cai was not in a hurry. Qin Yu had the ability of telekinesis. How could her mansion be completely unguarded?
But since Qin Yu let her in, it means that Qin Yu knew who the visitor was.
"How did you get yourself into such a mess?" The light from the eaves in the distance was dim, and several maids approached with lanterns.
Lu Cai looked up in the direction of the light and saw a young girl wearing a brocade robe, an exquisite shawl draped over her wrist, her long hair tied into a bun, and a gold hairpin pinned to the tip of her hair.
Qin Yu had a cold face and didn't smile, with an elegant and noble temperament.
Lu Cai touched his empty sleeves, then looked down at his outer robe, which had been ripped by the knife tip and stained with the stench of the scorpion monster...
It’s...it’s hard to put into words.
"There's a scumbag at home who tried to murder his wife," Lu Cai said miserably, "so I kicked him out."
Literally - kicked.
Qin Yu finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and a smile finally broke out on her majestic and noble beautiful face.
"Who's so desperate? How dare they cheat on you?" Qin Yu lifted her skirt and ran forward without caring about her image. After running a few steps, she noticed that the smell on Lu Cai was a bit pungent and strange: "This smell..."
Seeing her covering her nose, Lu Cai ripped open her outer robe, revealing her short-sleeved shirt and overalls underneath. "Do you know the mission for this dungeon?"
Seeing her dressed like this, the palace guards turned their heads away, not daring to take another look at her.
The maid on the side hurried forward and took the robe from Lu Cai's hand.
"I've been in the dungeon for half a month, and I haven't found any clues." Qin Yu led Lu Cai towards the house and finally into the study. The palace guards returned to their positions and continued to guard the princess's mansion. Most of the maids also withdrew, and a few close servants stayed outside the study.
Lu Cai pulled a stool over and sat down. "I've only been here for a day, and I've already experienced house fights, brawls, assassinations, and..." She raised her eyes and smiled, "I encountered the monsters in this dungeon."
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows: "What is your identity? This day has been more exciting than my fifteen days."
Lu Cai chuckled and gave a brief account of what had happened since he woke up.
After he finished speaking, he poured himself a glass of water and moistened his throat.
"Scorpion?" Qin Yu pondered. "Amber?"
"That's what I thought." Lu Cai leaned back. "When the big scorpion stings someone, it releases smaller scorpions. This is probably how they survive."
Wearing human skin and reproducing offspring.
Moreover, the dungeon map is so large that there is a high probability that these scorpions have spread out.
The Marquis must have been involved in this matter, but it is unknown whether the current situation was intentional on his part or has gotten out of control.
"How long do you think it will take before a large-scale outbreak occurs?" Qin Yu looked up at Lu Cai.
Lu Cai shrugged: "I don't know, but people who are made into coats by them can't hide their tails."
She discovered Liu'er's abnormality when she saw the poisonous tail of the black shell under her skirt.
"According to what you said, growing a tail means it's mature and can even lay eggs—" Qin Yu frowned. "They're very aggressive. Even if we find them, ordinary people can't defeat them."
"Even if we can't win, we have to fight. Otherwise, we'll just wait for death." Lu Cai stood up and said, "How many people do you have? We must be on guard first."
Qin Yu sighed: "I only have the palace guards. They are very skilled, but there are too few of them."
Lu Cai thought of someone: "Don't you know the King of Jin?"
If Wang Shu's information is true, King Jin has a large number of troops at his command.
"I'm afraid that Gu Xici has been arrested by his adoptive father on charges of treason before he can mobilize his troops." Although Qin Yu said this, he stood up and planned to send someone to deliver the message.
Lu Cai was unconcerned: "When that day comes, with our special abilities, it's not impossible for us to make him emperor."
Qin Yu: “…”
While Qin Yu was gathering people, Lu Cai borrowed the study and began to draw the shape of the scorpion monster.
The first depicts a normal person, but with a stinging insect tail at the bottom of their skirt. The second shows a person lying on the ground, with a large boil growing under their armpit. Their black-armored tail is curled upward, already taking on the shape of a scorpion. The third depicts a boil that has burst, revealing two spider legs on each side.
Then Lu Cai also carefully drew the shape of the scorpion's tail and scorpion cub.
She showed it to Qin Yu with great interest. Qin Yu looked at it for a while and said, "I didn't expect you to be a contestant of the 'Bone Painting School'."
The bones are painted, not the skin. The meaning of the painting is there. Anyone who has seen a scorpion can roughly understand what the painting is about. But the intermittent lines, the arms of varying thickness, and the use of a smiley face to represent a human head...
It can be seen that Cai Lu has worked very hard.
Lu Cai certainly understood what Qin Yu meant, but he wasn't shocked. After the Princess's Mansion guards gathered, Lu Cai began explaining the monster's appearance and how to identify it.
"You must first remove the poisonous needle at the tail, and then attack the head. Decapitation will break it—" Lu Cai was very serious and even handed the blueprint to them to see.
But these palace guards were a little confused. If the princess hadn't been there to calm them down, they would probably have laughed.
Is this a new method of storytelling in the market?
Besides, this girl is telling a story. Can she put her clothes on first?
They couldn't help but secretly complain that although the girl had one arm bandaged, the other arm was exposed in public, which was really unsightly.
"Put your knives aside..." Seeing that they had memorized the contents of the painting, Lu Cai planned to modify their weapons as well.
The palace guards looked at each other in confusion, but still drew their swords obediently.
Lu Cai pinched the blade one by one, and a faint red light passed through the blade, leaving a shallow mark on the handle.
"Come to me when the scar fades. Don't be lazy. This is a life-saving thing—"
Qin Yu on the side couldn't help but open his eyes wide. It had been such a long time since they last saw each other, and Lu Cai could actually rely on his supernatural energy to rely on external objects to serve as an auxiliary force for others?
What is this? An item upgrade!
