When the beauty of cultivation enters the infinite live broadcast

The wind and snow outside had not stopped. The footprints that had been walked on were once again covered by snow, and the fog had thinned a little.

Lian Wu picked up a red lantern nearby, avoided the golden bell hanging underneath, and reached out to take out the burning candle inside.

Sure enough, there was a white candle inside. The difference was that the white candle in Jackie Chan could ignite on its own in the night fog, while the candle in the room had to be lit by a few matches.

Lian Wu tried to blow out the white candle, but found that the flame became brighter and brighter.

The next second, Lianwu inserted the entire candle into the snow. After waiting for three full seconds, Lianwu pulled the candle out.

The candle flame died out, emitting black smoke, but after a moment it crackled again.

Mist Reduction: ...

Okay, very good, you like it, right?

Just as the flame returned to normal, the entire candle, including the flame, was encased in ice. The flame inside danced restlessly, trying to melt the ice, but its inherent coldness made it impossible for it to do what a normal flame could do.

In addition, this is ice specially created by Lianwu, and the fire cannot melt it.

"Come on, keep burning. If you don't burn it clean, I will look down on you."

The ice cube wrapped in the candle was casually stuffed into the cloth bag, and Lianwu continued to walk towards the white lantern.

Just as Feng Ling guessed, there was a red candle inside the white lantern, but unlike the complete white candle, the red candle was less than three fingers wide.

As the candle was found, new problems arose.

The white candle burned in the night fog, so when would the red candle have been lit? No white lanterns were seen lit during the day, but the candles did show signs of burning, so they were likely burned before the dungeon's timeline.

Lianwu did not take all the red candles. After estimating the number of candles they would need to complete the dungeon, Lianwu took two extra candles and left the rest for other players to explore.

Cutting off the retreat routes of these players who have no grudges against him is not Lianwu's hobby.

After getting the candle, Lian Wu was not in a hurry to go back. He wanted to go and see Xiao Wen's body again.

The bloodstains in the snow had been covered by new snow. If it weren't for the obvious bulge, Lian Wu probably wouldn't have been able to find the body.

Because the position of the body had changed. It was originally under a pillar next to the stage, but now it was right in front of the stage.

While the players were returning to the house, the red cloth on the stage was covered again. There was not much snow on it, and the original color of the cloth could still be vaguely seen.

Wearing gloves, he dragged Xiao Wen's body out. Lian Wu could barely see his miserable condition with the light of the white candle.

His eyes had been gouged out, and the blood on his face and head came from the empty eye sockets. But this was clearly not the cause of death; the scars on his abdomen, like those of a wild animal's scratches, were the true cause of Xiao Wen's death.

The abdominal and chest cavities had been hollowed out, and the internal organs had been eaten clean. Even though the blood had long since coagulated due to the cold weather, the strong smell of blood still hit the face.

Lian Wu was already in a bad mood because of his teammate's injury, and now he was even more upset.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Lian Wu had already set his sights on those two ghosts.

If breaking the family rules was the reason for being marked by ghosts, Lian Wu had a rather risky idea in his mind.

But you still need to tell your teammates in advance about such risky things.

Lian Wu suppressed the thoughts that were about to arise in his mind and continued to examine the body despite the smell of blood. No one knew whether the body would still be there tomorrow morning, and some clues could be lost if missed.

The black coat Xiao Wen was originally wearing had been torn and soaked with blood. After staying in the snow for a long time, the clothes had already frozen stiff.

After a careful search, Lian Wu finally found two plum petals in his chest.

The red plum petals mixed with the scarlet blood residue and were almost missed.

The two petals were carefully removed. Lian Wu found a piece of cloth unstained from Xiao Wen's trouser leg and pulled it down to wrap the two petals. Just like packing medicinal herbs, the petals were tightly wrapped before being placed in the cloth bag.

The method of wrapping medicinal materials was something he learned in the Rich Man copy. It was simple and practical, and was particularly suitable for wrapping small items like this.

The cloth bag he was wearing across his shoulder was now filled with things, and even the interlayer was filled with a box of needles.

When Lian Wu took out everything in the bag, everyone in the room fell silent.

Especially when he saw the candle wrapped in ice, Jiu Ling couldn't help but step forward and knock on it twice.

Zhou Yixi worked all night and was taken back by Jiu Ling to rest.

Jiuling touched the ice cube twice and then withdrew his hand, mainly because it was too cold. "How can this candle burn in ice?"

"It can't be extinguished, but bringing it back burning will attract cold air."

Lian Wu would extinguish the white candle every time he came back. If he couldn't extinguish it, he would just find a way to prevent it from bringing in the cold air.

Xie Ning's condition is much better than before. Although he hasn't woken up yet, his complexion has returned to normal.

After showing the plum blossom petals to everyone, Hua Meng circled the red plum blossoms heavily in her notebook and noted the location and reason of each appearance next to it.

"The reason the female player fell asleep might not be the cold, but the red plum blossoms that appeared in her hand, while the male player had no plum blossoms."

Jiu Ling, who had followed Zhou Yixi to most of the rooms, added, "The male players' rooms all have a vase with red plums in it."

Feng Ling said, "Grandmother loved red plums the most. Those ghosts must be closely related to her. Is this ghost marriage the first of its kind in the Tao family, or is it more than one?"

"Those lantern costumes don't look like they were installed recently. I'm afraid there have been similar cases before. Remember the clues Kexi and Zheng Ruisheng exchanged with us? Young Master Li died in the night fog. This means that the ghost wasn't the first to appear. It appeared before, even before Young Master Li died. So where did the ghost come from back then?"

Lian Wu and the others showed expressions of knowing what was going on.

[Exploration 10%]

The system's prompt sound also made them more certain that their guess was correct.

"There are only three female players in this dungeon, but it's clear that female players are more likely to access the core than male players, and are also more dangerous. I always feel that the Tao family's training of women is like finding a replacement for Tao Nian. If anything happens to Tao Nian, another woman can take over.

I'm on the same team as you guys, so the other players probably won't target me. Liang Tan has guild members, so the one in most danger right now is Mo Lu."

Mo Ru had given Zhou Yixi a sweatshirt. If other players gave Mo Ru a hard time, Jiu Ling would naturally lend a helping hand.

After warming up, Jiu Ling yawned and said, "Rest up. We still have to go and greet everyone in the morning."

The wine spirit fell asleep on the table in front of the window, not at all afraid of the ghost face outside the window. Before she buried her head in sleep, she did not forget to warn them: "If you dare to make any noise to disturb my rest, I will dig up your bodies, chop them into residue, and mix them with feces to make fertilizer."

Hua Meng slept next to Xie Ning, holding his hand tightly. Before going to bed, she took a silk thread and threaded an ordinary bell through it to the bottom of a candle. Once the candle burned to that point, the bell would fall and make a sound, reminding them that the candle was about to go out.

Lian Wu and Feng Ling fell asleep next to each other at another table.
