Chapter 22 Lunar Eclipse (1)



The bright red blood fell into the white palm of the hand, like a flower blooming wildly.

Yu Qirong stared at it for a while, then reached out to feel the toilet paper in his pocket. Then he remembered that he had changed his clothes and had not had time to take the tissue paper with him.

"Do you have any paper?" Yu Qirong turned and looked at Xiangyang.

Before, Xiangyang only thought that Yu Qi looked weak and didn't look like he could fight. He didn't expect that he would vomit blood in front of him as soon as he entered the dungeon.

Unless there is a special need, people generally don't carry toilet paper with them. After all, they can buy it directly from the points store.

Xiang Yang: "You can buy some at the points store. You can buy a lot with 10 points."

Yu Qirong was silent for half a second and looked up at the surrounding environment.

This is a desert. In Yu Qirong's cognition, there is only yellow sand in the desert and few people. But not far away there is a stone tablet with words engraved on it.

It's too far away and I can't see clearly.

After making sure there was no place to wash hands nearby, Yu Qirong retracted his gaze, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of yellow sand.

The coarse grains of sand rubbed off the blood on the palms of his hands, and also made his palms red. There was a burning sensation, and Yu Qirong's palms became hot as a result of rubbing.

When Xiangyang saw Yu Qirong doing this, he was stunned at first, then he realized that he was doing this to save points.

It's just 10 points. Even if you save them, it will be a big difference to the goal of 1 million.

I don’t know what Yu Qi is thinking.

"Are you... okay?" Xiang Yang glanced at Yu Qirong's hands which were red from being rubbed by the yellow sand, and was really concerned about his physical condition.

Yu Qirong shook his head.

Generally speaking, the reason why he vomited blood was because of contact with the black fog.

I didn't vomit blood even though I was running outside and exercising so vigorously, but I vomited blood when I entered the dungeon.

This means that this copy may be filled with black fog of relatively low density. The visibility is low, but it is enough for Yu Qirong to notice it.

"How did you follow me?" Yu Qirong glanced at Xiangyang.

Xiang Yang patiently explained: "If two people choose a dungeon at the same time and have physical contact, they can be counted as a team. Of course, if you register in advance, you can also enter the dungeon as a team without any physical contact... If you were not so anxious to earn points, I would tell you all this bit by bit."

At this point, he paused, and continued in a somewhat provocative tone: "Who is your boyfriend? Aren't you guys going to form a team?"

Yu Qirong: “…”

The temperature here is very high and the sun is very strong.

Yu Qirong couldn't stand the scorching sun, so she took out the small flower umbrella that she had looted in the previous world in front of Xiangyang, and regardless of Xiangyang's eyes, she held it up herself.

This little flower umbrella looks very fancy, with lace and bright red fabric, it looks like a women's umbrella no matter how you look at it.

Yu Qirong, who was blocking the light and holding an umbrella, not only did her face not appear darker, but it looked even whiter under the bright red lining.

It is true that red makes whiter.

"Why... why hasn't the copy information been released yet?"

As Xiangyang spoke, he twisted his body and slipped under Yu Qirong's umbrella.

Yu Qirong was shorter than him, so Xiangyang could only bend his legs slightly and smile at Yu Qirong embarrassedly.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m so close, but Xiangyang seems to be able to smell a faint fragrance.

Considering that this man was good-looking and had done him some favors, Yu Qirong was merciful and not only did he not let him get out, he also raised his hand slightly so that Xiangyang could straighten up.

【Welcome to S-level Dungeon: Lunar Eclipse】

[The endless desert is the best place to observe the lunar eclipse. A group of astronomy enthusiasts came here after hearing the news, hoping to see the most spectacular lunar eclipse. The higher the place, the clearer the view of the lunar eclipse, so you plan to go to the top of the desert - Huangsha Village.]

[Main Mission: Escape from Huangsha Village]

[Side quest: Eliminate the high-risk NPC Yu Qirong in the dungeon]

Xiangyang spent a long time reading the task instructions but still couldn't grasp the important points.

What's the point of escaping from Huangsha Village? They obviously didn't go in at all. Can a question that doesn't even constitute a question be considered a question?

As expected of an S-level copy, even the clues are riddles.

This side quest is pretty tempting though.

Xiangyang touched his chin and said that the main task points reward was no problem, 100,000 points.

But this side quest...Xiangyang moved his eyes to the reward column behind the panel, the reward was 100,000.

The reward is as high as that of an S-level copy, which is considered a generous deal. I wonder how powerful this so-called high-risk NPC is to be worth such a high price.

Xiangyang turned to look at Yu Qirong and was about to discuss the contents of the copy with him, but he saw a stranger wearing a mask.

"?" Xiang Yang was stunned for a few seconds, "Yu Qi?"

He could see some of Yu Qi's characteristics in his white hair, as well as his red yet bright eyes.

But looking at the overall appearance, Xiangyang felt that it was not as stunning as he had first seen it. It was like an ordinary person with a pair of beautiful eyes, which looked a pity.

It can barely be considered pretty.

Yu Qirong glanced at the side quests, tightened his jaw, stared at Xiangyang and nodded.

Xiang Yang thought of a reason for Yu Qirong's behavior: "Is this a prop? People with your looks, Yu Qi, should really cover it up."

You may encounter all kinds of players in the dungeon, and the more dungeons a person has experienced, the more cautious he will be, so he has to be on guard.

"I don't quite understand the main mission." Xiang Yang took the initiative to share his views on the mission with Yu Qirong. He pointed to the stone tablet in front and said, "It says Huangsha Village, right? That means this is Huangsha Village. Does escaping from Huangsha Village mean that we should turn around and leave now?"

Yu Qirong looked in the direction of Xiangyang's finger at the stone tablet, but heard a voice calling from behind: "Hey, why are you still here?"

Turning around, the wind picked up and the yellow sand was blown up like a yellow sandstorm was coming.

Yu Qirong squinted his eyes and saw a creature he had never seen before in the sand. It looked like a horse, but it looked different. It was almost the same color as the yellow sand and looked earthy. Its fur was obviously dense and warm, and it was pulling an empty cart behind it.

"It's really a desert, and there are camels."

Xiangyang's whispered complaints were caught by Yu Qirong. He remembered the appearance of this creature again and secretly defined it in his mind: this creature is a camel.

When we got closer, we found that the yellow sand was stirred up by the camel's walking. There was a man sitting on the two humps on the camel's back. His skin was dark red from the sun and he had a long and messy beard, which made his face, which was not young to begin with, look even older.

Yu Qirong slightly shifted his gaze, not wanting to be tortured, and focused on looking at the camel being ridden.

"Come up. Your companions have all entered the village, so you two should hurry up, or you will miss lunch!" The man's tone was enthusiastic, making people feel embarrassed if they didn't go up.

Xiangyang looked in the direction where the camel came from unwillingly. His mission was to escape from Huangsha Village, so the danger must be inside the village.

How dangerous is an S-level copy, not to mention that he brought a little beauty who vomited blood as soon as she entered the copy.

Of course it would be best if you could avoid danger.

As if seeing through Xiangyang's thoughts, the man said, "What's the matter? You're not scared and want to go back right after you got here? We don't have telephones or cars here. The next car will come in a month. Do you want to walk out of the desert?"

"It will probably take two days and three nights to get there. It's very cold at night, and the clothes you're wearing now may not be enough to keep you warm."

"..." Xiangyang gave up the idea and expressed to the man in a nice voice that he wanted to enter the village.

He wanted to pull Yu Qirong into the car, but found that he was staring at the camel.

Xiang Yang: "Don't look at it, this camel likes to spit at people, just like that alpaca."

Yu Qirong: "It didn't spit on me."

Xiangyang was just about to say, "Just look at it for a little longer," but it vomited and its face was covered with liquid.

Yu Qirong politely took half a step back, leaving Xiangyang in the sun, then walked around to the empty cart behind the camel and climbed on to sit down.

He believed it without me having to demonstrate it myself.

The specific location of Huangsha Village is actually not too far from the stone tablet, but the closer to Huangsha Village, the more uncomfortable Yu Qirong felt.

The face under the bone mask was wrinkled, and there was a rusty taste of blood in his throat. Yu Qirong frowned uncomfortably, but Xiangyang came closer, thinking that he was carsick.

Xiang Yang: "Are you carsick? That shouldn't be the case. This camel-drawn cart isn't an enclosed one."

Yu Qirong remembered that he was vomited in the face by Camel, so he put his hands on his chest, held the umbrella handle under his arm, and sat farther away from him.

Xiangyang knew that people who get carsick don't like to talk, so he didn't take it as a sign of disdain. He just wisely moved away and helped Yu Qirong watch the road.

By the time they arrived at their destination, Xiangyang had almost been tanned by the sun, and his originally fair face was now red.

The person who came to pick them up was a hunchbacked old man who said his last name was Xu. His legs and feet were not very agile, and he walked over tremblingly, leaning on a crutch.

Yu Qirong got out of the car and followed Grandpa Xu into the house with Xiangyang.

There is a dying tree at the entrance, with its dead branches hanging down like the arms of a dying person, swaying freely in the desert wind.

Yu Qirong still frowned and glanced at the big tree. In his ear, he heard Xiangyang chattering at the old man "Uncle Xu".

Uncle Xu probably didn't have very good hearing. He was harassed by Xiangyang all the way and didn't say a word. He just led them to the door of a room, then stopped, slowly raised a finger, pointed at the door, and said in an old voice: "We're here, you guys take a rest first, I'll bring you food later."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back shakily on his crutches.

Xiangyang was confused. He opened the door and went in. Yu Qirong followed him in, holding the Dragon Hook Jade tightly.

As soon as he entered the door, the uncomfortable feeling on his body disappeared immediately. Before Yu Qirong could be surprised, five pairs of eyes looked at him at the same time, men and women, but there was not a single familiar face.

Yu Qirong frowned and looked around, finally stopping at the only person who didn't look over here.

The man probably heard the noise and looked over here.

He had dark eyes and thin, pale lips.

Although he doesn't look like Tang Xingfei, Yu Qirong can see some of Tang Xingfei's shadow in him.

Yu Qirong looked away calmly.

Going crazy.

His obsession is too deep that everyone looks like Tang Xingfei to him.
