Chapter 119: An Opportunity to the Temple
"Otherwise, let's bake our clothes, we are always wearing wet clothes, and it is not convenient to move." An Xu asked tentatively.
Sure enough, Hongluan looked at herself, her lips slightly open, as if she was surprised by An Xu's words.
"Ahem!" An Xu pointed to the vines around him and said, "There are a lot of clothes in your space ring, you can hang them here as a changing room, we can use Grudin's clothes to change them first, and then change them back after they are dry." β
Hongluan stared straight at An Xu's eyes, and found that his eyes were very clear, and it seemed that An Xu did not have any other ideas, so he nodded slightly.
Seeing that Hongluan agreed, An Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, and the two took out all of Grudin's clothes, found a few relatively wide ones, and used vines to set up a simple tent.
Afraid that Hongluan would be embarrassed, An Xu entered the tent first, quickly took off his wet coat, and then put on an ordinary power suit, which was unexpectedly fitted, and it seemed that Grudin's figure was similar to his own.
After a while, Hongluan also changed her clothes, put on a loose robe, and then hung her coat next to the bonfire.
After changing into dry clothes and accidentally getting two practical skill books, An Xu's mood became brighter.
He added a withered vine to the bonfire and chatted with Hongluan: "We are also fateful, we can actually survive the rat tide, such a large-scale rat tide, this is the first time I have seen it!" People say that if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing, and this is true, don't you think we have an unexpected gain? β
An Xu is usually not a person who talks a lot, I don't know why, when I am alone with Hongluan, my mouth can't stop! Maybe it's because the atmosphere of lonely men and widows together is a little awkward, which makes An Xu want to adjust.
"By the way, looking at Su Yue's appearance, you are not mercenaries or adventurers, are you? Why do you come all the way here? β
This question has been in An Xu's heart for a long time, a noble lady like Su Yue will definitely not risk her life to explore the ruins because of lack of money, if it is said that she came for legendary items, she only brought Hongluan as an escort, which is too child's play.
As a result, An Xu really guessed wrong, Su Yue and Hongluan came to make money.
After a long time of comparing with Hongluan, An Xu barely understood what she meant, it turned out that there were many poor people in their hometown, and they could barely live by relying on Su Yue's relief from time to time, but Su Yue couldn't get a lot of money from the family, and it was not enough to rely on his pocket money alone.
Hearing that there were ancient ruins near Hidden Moon City, and there were many valuable things in them, Su Yue secretly ran out with Hongluan.
No wonder Su Yue said before, it's okay not to give them anything, just go out and give them a part of the gold coins, at that time, An Xu thought it was Su Yue casually talking.
I didn't see it, this rich chick is quite kind.
An Xu tightened the clothes on his body, leaned against the stone wall, and sighed: "There are people everywhere whose lives are not easy, I don't know when everyone's lives will become better." β
Hongluan looked at An Xu, suddenly gestured twice, and then pointed at An Xu and made an inquiring motion.
"Why am I here?" An Xu smiled: "Because I am a mercenary, wherever there is money to be made, I will go wherever I go, this is the life of a mercenary." β
Hongluan bent her knees and hugged her legs, resting her chin on her knees, not knowing what she was thinking.
Perhaps because this topic touched the memories in the hearts of the two, An Xu lost the interest in talking, so he stared at the fire in a daze, and after he calmed down, a wave of sleepiness hit, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
Seeing An Xu fall asleep, Hongluan also gently closed her eyes.
Unbeknownst to the two, just after they fell asleep, a faint glow fell from the statue, enveloping the two of them.
"Welcome to Trials Hall One, Challenger!" A gentle voice sounded, and An Xu opened his eyes and found himself suspended in a chaotic space.
What's the matter, aren't you hiding in a cave with Hongluan, why did you suddenly appear here?
What surprised him even more was that the sentence that woke him up just now was so familiar, hadn't he heard the same opening in the No. 5 Trial Hall before?
However, this time it was no longer the rock guard who spoke, but a strange female voice, and he looked around, only to find that he had found the source of the voice.
At this time, the voice sounded again: "Enter the meditative state, accept the challenge by default, please get ready, you will return to the most desperate moment of battle in memory, take up your weapons, defeat the fear in your heart, and through the trial, you will be qualified to enter the temple!" β
"What?" An Xu shouted exaggeratedly, he didn't know any meditation at all, could it be because he was asleep, and the room full of vines he was in before was actually the so-called No. 1 Trial Hall?
If Grudin's family was here, he would have vomited blood in anger, and he tried his best to enter the temple, but was stopped by the rock guards, and when he came here, the oil lamp had run out, and he didn't even have a chance to sleep, so he died directly.
Unexpectedly, this room was exactly the opportunity to enter the temple.
Since he stumbled into it by mistake and accepted the trial, An Xu is no longer entangled, and is ready to concentrate on coping with this trial, maybe he really has a chance to enter the temple.
Back to the most desperate moment of battle -
An Xu recalled that the most desperate moment in his life was probably the encounter when Su Jinghuai died, when in the face of fierce demon beasts, all the people had no power to resist, which could be regarded as extremely desperate.
So, what you need to defeat is that fourth-order fire ape?
At this moment, An Xu appeared in another scene, but to his surprise, this was not the Moon Forest in his memory at all, but a simple hut, and he was lying on a shabby bed, and the room was very dimly lit, and it seemed that it should be night.
It's strange that I never remembered being here at all?
Just as he was puzzled, suddenly a terrible shout sounded outside: "Escape, the bandits are coming!" β
An Xu's heart moved, and he wanted to get up and go out to see the situation, only to find that his body was unusually short, this is a child's body?
Outside the window, the light of the fire was already reflected, and it seemed that the intruding bandits were setting fires everywhere, and from time to time one could hear screams, mixed with the cries of women and children.
The curtain of the door was lifted, and a woman rushed in, picked up An Xu's petite body, stuffed her into the barrel next to the bed, and said in a trembling but unusually gentle tone: "Luan'er, hide inside and don't come out, you know?" β
After saying that, she picked up the lid and closed the barrel, and An Xu's vision fell into darkness.
Luan'er? Hearing the woman's name, An Xu realized that now this petite body turned out to be Hongluan's. Could it be that this is the scene in Hongluan's memory?
Although An Xu didn't understand the principle of the trial, he could probably understand that it was an illusion formed by awakening his memory. Maybe it's because the trial hall is old and malfunctioning, confusing the content of the trial between the two?
Before he could think about what to do next, the door outside was slammed open, presumably by a bandit. An Xu was anxious, most of the women just now were Hongluan's mother, although this was just an illusion, An Xu couldn't stand by and watch, besides, since it was a trial, he naturally needed to fight by himself.
But what makes people speechless is that now that he is a child's body, how can he fight?
He hurriedly checked his own situation, fortunately, his three-star strength is still there, in addition to not having a suitable weapon, he is not used to the control of his body, and he should barely be able to play most of the combat level.
Thinking of this, An Xu stopped grinding, pushed away the cover on his head, and rushed out.
On the other side, as soon as Hongluan opened her eyes, she saw a majestic fire ape rushing towards her in the forestβ
