Chapter 327: Chapter 327 Solving The Riddle

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

After leaving the Peach Blossom Illusion, Lin Wumo and Shang Yue appeared at their base in the happy forest. Unexpectedly they haven’t run away from Luhua city. Instead, they stayed in their base in the happy forest, no one knew what they were planning. Outside their base, it was already heavily guarded.

Zhou Yu’s strange coma also caused the mini Luhua City to be very chaotic. After the king of thieves dealt with the tomb raider, who invaded the underground research institute, and threw him into the prison of Luhua City for reeducation, he heard that something happened to Zhou Yu from Lilith.

Lilith was stopped by Shang Yue at the time, and all she saw was a light that was sucked into Lin Wumo’s scroll from Zhou Yu’s body, and then he lost consciousness. From this, the thief king judged that only by capturing Lin Wumo and forcing him to remove the seal would it be possible to save Zhou Yu.

Just as the king of thieves was about to set out to Heifengzhai, a Flying Bird Knight reported that all the people in Heifengzhai did not leave, but stayed in the happy forest, not allowing anyone to enter.

“Lilith, you take the golden armor army to surround the entire Luhua City. Before the matter is resolved, Luhua City will be temporarily closed, and no one is allowed to go out or enter.”

Without the lord, Luhua City has become chaotic. At this time, it was impossible to operate normally, and if they let troublemakers enter the city, those people from Heifengzhai might take the opportunity of the chaos and then sneak the scroll out of the city, completely destroying the rescue plan.

Lilith summoned her Qibao Linglong pagoda and then used its second function: City Lockdown. Then a blue laser burst from the top of the pagoda, reaching high in the air, then exploded, forming a blue light curtain slowly covering the entire Luhua City, even the underground. Within this blue ball, no one would be able to enter or leave the city without being noticed.

This skill required Lilith to stay in the magic circle, so four flying bird knights were left to guard her, and all the available combat power was concentrated in the happy forest, surrounding Heifengzhai’s base.

Little Firefly was very worried. Standing at the entrance of Heifenzhai’s base, she was cursing loudly. Her old man kindly took in Heifengzhai in, but unexpectedly they ended up betraying him, and these days, she also had a special affinity with the people of Heifengzhai, so she felt angrier.

However, in the face of all the powerful people of Luhua city, the people of Heifengzhai were very indifferent. They just shot a white towel using a bow and an arrow. On it, it said that if Luhua City attacked Heifengzhai, then they would set the scroll on fire.

It seemed like they could not use force at the moment.

At this time, they could only rely on special operations. The King of Thieves wanted to use his special skills to steal the scroll.

“I will help you too!”

Yi Hu stood up. He was supposed to stay by Zhou Yu’s side that night, but he was too careless and returned to the hut, and then he was completely blocked by the peach blossom illusion, unable to notice anything that was happening on the balcony. Yi Hu, who felt guilty for this, so he also wanted to use his special skills to rescue Zhou Yu.

Apart from the king of thieves, Yi Hu, nicknamed the Flying Stupid Bird, was also very skilled in all sorts of tricks and stealth. Therefore two people formed a team and began their special operations at night.

As for why Heifengzhai would choose to stay in Luhua city after they captured Zhou Yu, no one could figure it out. At that time, Lilith had been knocked out, and the king of thieves and other people were not present, and they had enough time to leave. However, not a single one of Heifengzhai’s people escaped from Luhua city. All of them simply waited for the people of Luhua city to come to their doorstep.

With the skills of the king of thieves and Yi Hu, it shouldn’t be difficult to steal the scroll. Could it be said that it was Heifengzhai’s trap?

Anyway, they still had to try it.

In the hall of Heifengzhai’s base, the faces of Lin Wumo and Shang Yue were very serious. Lin Wumo tapped his finger on the table and said after a while, “Old Shang, are you sure that Zhou Yu can complete the test? What if he fails, we will become the enemy of both sides.”

Shang Yue didn’t seem to be concerned about it, “just let fate decide it, at the worst, we will just disappear with Luhua city. It’s okay Wumo, there is no need to worry about this and that. We need to stay focused and prepare to deal with the king of thieves. That is not someone that you can deal with easily, not to mention that there is another person called Flying Stupid Bird.”

It seemed that these two people were not just simple spies

Within the Illusion. Zhou Yu was still on the island. He found a wooden lance, which could be treated as an early weapon, and then started to explore the island bit by bit and see if there was anything that he could use to escape from the island. It was as if he was playing a surviving game.

What was strange was that obviously, just a small island, but in the small crater of the circular basin, grew a peach blossom forest. Thinking that Lin Wumo’s nickname was the Peach Blossom Fan, Zhou Yu believed that this peach blossom forest must be the most important area.

Climbing to the top of the crater, and looking down at the forest from the top, the arrangement of the peach blossom forest was clearly a Bagua formation. In the beginning, Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, thinking that it was to test profound knowledge like I Ching. However, he was not going to be a fortune-teller, so how would he know I Ching?

However, it was actually different from what he thought.

In the regular arrangement, he soon discovered a flaw. There was an empty pit but no corresponding peach tree. After walking around the forest, he found a peach sapling that had not yet grown.

Hmmm, this is definitely it.

With doubt, Zhou Yu dug out the peach sapling and then replanted them in the tree pit that had been dug out.

With a bang, the ground started to shake, then from the ground in the center of the Bagua formation suddenly appeared a thatched house covered with mushrooms.

‘This is too easy. I thought it would be a very difficult riddle.’ Zhou Yu thought to himself.

However, facing the creepy thatched house, Zhou Yu was a little afraid. After all, he didn’t know what was inside the house. Maybe there was a group of snakes inside.

And the best way Zhou Yu could come up with was to toss stones at it and then shouted at it a few times to check the reactions. No one responded, and there was nothing strange running out of the house, it seemed safe.

Eventually, he raised a wooden lance as if he was ready to give his opponent a fatal blow, and then kicked the door of the thatched house.

A mildew smell instantly came out, almost making Zhou Yu feel sick.

After walking in, he saw a skeleton sitting on the bed. This was really weird. Because there was no death in the ACG world. It was either reborn or destroyed by things like the Mojibake beast, so why was there a skeleton? Or was this some kind of skeleton monster?

Because Zhou Yu was exploring it from a gamer’s perspective, so he was not too scared. Instead, he watched it carefully.

On the neck of the skeleton, a glowing pendant caught his eye.

Perhaps, this meant he needed to take it.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but reach out his hand trying to take off the pendant while enduring the discomfort. He hoped that this pendant was the key to escape from here.

However, at the moment of touching the pendant, the skeleton suddenly came to life, grabbing Zhou Yu’s hand, and laughing evilly.

God damn, you scared the shit out of me!
