"Da!"

A drop of water dripped onto Lu Tao's head, Lu Tao touched the dampness on his head and looked up at the sky.

The passage that had been for one person was gone, and now the two of them walked in between it was a small cave, and when they shone it up with a flashlight, they could only see the faint light reflected from the rocks above.

Although it is a cave, there is still only one entrance and one exit, so as not to make another choice for Lu Tao and Mo Lan, the only change, except that the scope that needs to be paid attention to is a little larger, I am afraid that there is only a thick layer of black mist on the ground.

When the light of the flashlight goes up, those black fogs will melt away like ice and snow encountering fire, as if consciously avoiding the light of the flashlight, when passing through these black fogs, there is also a faint resistance, coupled with the cold aura contained in it, so that Lu Tao can feel the slippery coldness.

This is really not a good experience, Lu Tao asked Mo Lan, and Mo Lan didn't seem to know what this layer of black fog was.

In this way, you can only take one step at a time.

After moving forward for a while, a door blocked the two of them, and on the black door, there was a lifelike relief of a giant snake, which was exactly the same as the Mo Lan that Lu Tao saw for the first time in his memory.

"Is this it?" Lu Tao vigilantly observed the giant snakes around him and on the door, but he didn't find anything strange.

"Well, this is the place where I can feel the familiarity coming from behind the door. ”

Lu Tao nodded, and then tried to push the stone door, but found that he couldn't move it at all: "How is this door going to be opened?"

"I'll try!" Mo Lan stepped forward with some hesitation, put her hand on the stone door, and just when Lu Tao thought that Mo Lan was going to inject her demonic power into the stone door, she pushed it gently, and the door opened with a "click", revealing a gap, and the scenery behind it was still flooded by darkness and could not be seen clearly.

Lu Tao: "......"

I'm embarrassed to forget how exaggerated Mo Lan's power is.

Next, Mo Lan pushed the stone door open again, revealing the road behind, Lu Tao used the light of the flashlight to pass over, and the ground was still a stone that had not been polished in any way, but in the position ahead, there was a statue standing faintly there.

Statues?

Mo Lan walked in without waiting for Lu Tao to stop him, shook his head in the direction of the statue, and Lu Tao could only follow behind Mo Lan.

The statue is a beautiful woman with waist-length hair, standing in place, staring into the distant void with an awe-inspiring sense of oppression.

“...... Mom?" Merlan called hesitantly, but of course, the statue didn't react.

"Mo Lan, is this your mother?"

Lu Tao circled around the statue, turned back to Mo Lan and asked, "This statue ...... Is there really a petrification technique?"

“...... No, it's not my mother, it's just a statue of my mother...... But why is there a statue of my mother here, and what does the call from the statue mean?" Moran frowned, staring at the statue's face.

Mo Lan stretched out his hand and touched the statue, although Lu Tao felt that something was wrong for a while, he did not stop it.

Immediately, he paid the price for his unstoppable actions, and the moment Mo Lan touched the statue, a black liquid as unpleasant as the black mist flowing on the ground gushed out from the statue, and in an instant it attached to Mo Lan's body.

Then, all those black liquids were absorbed into Mo Lan's body like water that had met a sponge, and from Mo Lan's body, a disturbing aura came from Mo Lan's body.

"Mo Lan!" Lu Tao took a step back and looked at Mo Lan, whose aura had changed drastically: "Are you okay?!"

"......" There was an unspeakable silence, Mo Lan raised her head and stared at Lu Tao with a pair of red eyes: "Hehe, I'm finally out...... Ha...... Hahahaha!"

Looking at Mo Lan who was smiling at the sky, Lu Tao lifted his spirit, and his mind turned wildly, looking for an opportunity to get in touch with the current predicament.

In the schoolbag behind him, Lu Tao brought all his things, the elixir spirit rune and money, plus a cold iron dagger of his own and another unknown dagger from the owl, a spirit beast net, and a sculpture that also came from the owl.

Among them, the only ones that can be used as weapons are those two daggers, but unfortunately Lu Tao doesn't think they are of any use, as for other things...... Lu Tao racked his brains and didn't think that they could have any effect on the current situation.

Oh yes, there is also the Mustard Void Ding, although I don't know what it originally did, but Lu Tao can't expect to use the Mustard Void Ding to smash the guy on the other side who doesn't know what the origin is, and occupies Mo Lan's body.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was still laughing, Lu Tao took the dagger from the owl in his hand, and pinched the spirit rune he had obtained before with the other hand, Lu Tao remembered that this kind of spirit rune should be good for escape.

"Heh, do you think you can defeat me with just these two things? It's just delusional!" Finally, the other party's laughter stopped, and she looked at Lu Tao with a pair of red eyes with interest: "Who are you? I don't remember ever summoning you." But...... If you can make me happier, I won't kill you. By the way, what do you think of being the first steel zombie I made when I woke up?"

Lu Tao: "......"

What the hell is a steel zombie? It actually sounds a little powerful?

No, no, now is not the time to think about this.

Lu Tao shook his head, but found that his body was out of his control again, why should he say it? Because every time Lu Tao encountered the enemy, he was so unreasonable, and when he came up, he first had a set of confinement packages, which made people unable to run if they wanted to.

"Who are you?" Lu Tao opened his mouth and found that he could still speak: "What did you do to Mo Lan?"

"What did she do? Don't worry, when I actually go out, I'll let her go...... At most, I will make her into my collection, after all, those guys ruined my collection back then...... Hehehe, it's completely ruined!"

Lu Tao's heart was cold, and when he said this, the feeling of being cold to his bones became stronger and stronger, making Lu Tao feel that his thinking was about to be frozen.

Glancing at Lu Tao again, the other party continued to speak: "Heh, I have been locked up here for thousands of years and no one has spoken to me, so it's cheap for you, do you want to hear me tell me what happened?" ”

“...... Want. "If you can delay time, you can delay time, Lu Tao still knows this, anyway, he himself wants to hear the other party's story, maybe he can find the other party's weaknesses.

"But...... When do you have to start? It can be a long time to start from the beginning......."

"I'll start at the beginning! I'm curious about your experience!"

"I'm sorry grandma" Lu Tao whispered in his heart: "You have always taught me to be an upright person, not afraid of power, upright, it seems that I can't do it." ”

"Hmm...... Well, I'll fulfill your last wish before your death, and start from the beginning, remember back then, I was just a teenager who grew up in a small town and liked to read, strange, why did I like to read so much in the first place? I don't know, I can't remember, when I was a child, I was very smart, whether it was the Four Books or the Five Classics, I was able to memorize them in the shortest possible time, hum, those who were jealous of me, they were all mediocre! Even if they read books, they could only be despicable villains in the market. Unfortunately, the town is too far from the big city, and the husband who taught me, although not bad, is really not as smart as one percent of me. ”

Lu Tao: "???"

What is this guy talking about?

"Later, Mr. taught me nothing to teach and I could not learn, I said goodbye to my hometown, began to travel to the mainland, to study in other big cities, my reputation also spread, everywhere, the local scholars will flock to come, although not to meet each other, but also respected, threesome, there must be my teacher, I met a lot of people with excellent learning, and taught them a lot of things, and finally, I went to the capital with a lot of fame. ”

Lu Tao: "???"

So...... What the hell is this guy talking about?
