Chapter 43 The Bloody Wedding 14
The night breeze was chilly, and the three remained silent.
Suddenly, a gust of wind came towards the back of Lu Cen's head. He felt a chill on the back of his head, his vision went black, and his body went limp and he fell to the ground.
When Lu Cen woke up again, his head was throbbing with pain, as if something had run over his head. His blood vessels were throbbing, and every cell in his body was screaming in discomfort.
"Finally awake."
"He's even worse than that crazy woman Chen Ning; his fighting ability is probably zero."
Lu Cen couldn't hear the words clearly, and it took him a while to open his eyes and meet the gazes of the two people.
They were all in the same posture, with a rope wrapped around their necks and knotted in front of their chests, trapping their hands behind the pillars.
“This is…” Lu Cen started to speak, but then realized that he was also tied up, so he swallowed his words. This was an abandoned house, empty except for the pillars. The roof had not been repaired for many years. Moonlight shone in through the cracks, and there was only an old table in the room.
"Do you have anything sharp on you?" Chen Ning asked.
"No." Lu Cen guessed she wanted to escape, but he really hadn't brought any. Then he thought of something: "Where's your dagger? And the monkey, where are your weapons?"
"It was taken away a long time ago, otherwise would we be sitting here like idiots?"
Lu Cen: "...I do have it, and I've been taken away too."
Suddenly, the door was flung open from the outside, and a group of people walked in. Without saying a word, they untied Chen Ning and dragged her out of the room. The two men watched anxiously, but since she was a woman, she shouldn't be in any danger. The room quickly returned to silence, and in an instant, only Lu Cen and Monkey remained.
Lu Cen's expression was not good as he looked at the monkey: "I suddenly remembered something."
Monkey: "What?"
"What will happen to us now that Chen Ning has been taken away?"
The monkey's expression twisted, then it turned around: "You mean..."
"Yes, they're kidnapping women and will kill their companions, so we need to find a way to get out of here immediately!"
The monkey looked around but found nothing of use, and began to grow anxious.
Lu Cen was cleaner than a monkey. His robe was prepared by Su Lian, and his sleeves were empty. Everything in sight was spotless.
Do you have any props?
The monkey's expression went blank for a moment, then it cursed, "Damn, if I had them, I would have taken them out already. Where do you think there are so many special items? Do you think they're as common as cabbages?"
"2277, could you please click on the panel for me?"
"Yes, please speak."
"Open my inventory."
The light screen lit up, and there were two items in the inventory: a miniature shirt and a sphere. To Lu Cen's surprise, the sphere was in use.
He recalled the item description; it was a passive item that would be automatically used upon entering the dungeon. He didn't pay much attention and simply said, "Get my shirt out for me."
A neat, wrinkle-free shirt appeared on Lu Cen's lap, and the monkey's eyes nearly popped out. There was only one explanation for this out-of-the-sky appearance: "You actually have a special item!"
Lu Cen's expression was indescribable: "If you want, I can give it to you!"
The monkey's eyes lit up, then dimmed: "Items cannot be transferred or bought/sold."
Lu Cen was unaware of this rule.
He stared at the shirt, perplexed. The skill description stated that the shirt had to be worn to be effective.
"Cough...2277, Xiao Qi..." Lu Cen's voice was unusually soft: "Can you do me a favor?"
"As an assistant, you cannot help the players cheat."
Lu Cen: "How is wearing clothes considered cheating?"
"How is this cheating?"
Please help me.
Xiaoqi: "...I'm all dressed."
So, can you shut up now? In a few moments, countless skeletons rushed in one direction.
In addition, ripples appeared on the surface of the water in the tank.
One by one, the swollen babies broke free from their confinement and ran down the mountain at great speed.
As if sensing something, Lu Cen looked out the window and saw a group of skeletons rushing towards them like a vast army. Lu Cen was quite frightened, never expecting the shirt to be so powerful.
"Little Seven, Little Seven... hurry up and help me take it off!"
He regretted it. He had thought that he could just attract some random things and escape before Master Su's men arrived.
To his surprise, it wasn't just a few skeletons that came, but a whole group of them, the same ones he had seen not long ago. Back then, he only felt terrified, but now that these skeletons had stood up, it sent chills down his spine.
Unfortunately, he spoke too slowly.
The first skeleton had already smashed open the door. It was pure white, with long, thin legs. As it walked, its hips swayed, creating a strange kind of beauty. It crouched down and approached Lu Cen, its eyeless body directly facing Lu Cen's gaze. The latter trembled, his eyes unfocused, and he was so terrified that he lost his voice.
Lu Cen considerately stopped talking, wearing a white shirt over his long robe, which looked strangely odd, but at that moment, the whole town instantly gained an indescribable feeling.
On a nearby hilltop, the graveyard trembled slightly, causing the entire mountain to shake. Under the moonlight, a gray hand rested on the edge of the pit, and then a smooth skull appeared, its eyes sunken and empty, a row of neat teeth extending to its ears. It leaped suddenly, escaping the pit.
