Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 862 Another Trial
Hu Ling couldn't clearly judge the strength of the Spear of the Rending King, but it was overwhelming compared to the siblings. It was like a lion fighting two babies; if the opponent hadn't shown mercy, they would have been killed in an instant.

This sense of oppression and despair was something I had never experienced when I fought against the witch's trump card.

But after a brief rest, the despair in Hu Ling's mind dissipated somewhat. In this temporarily safe environment, a stubborn part of his personality began to stir, which made him cheer up again.

He believed in their fate, and believed that this was also fate's arrangement.

This formidable foe is no different from the witch's trump card; it is once again an opportunity for them to grow stronger!
As long as they survive! As long as they escape alive, he and his sister will become stronger!
But what can they do? They can't get out now.

Hu Ling suddenly noticed an open book in front of him. He glanced at it and noticed that the book seemed to have uneven surfaces. He picked up the book that was "naturally" placed in front of him and looked at it closely. He found that Chinese characters were engraved on it!

"Hippostat, look what I found! There are notes written in Chinese here!" Hu Ling exclaimed in shock.

He flipped through a few pages and said, "It was written by a modern person who fell here with that history. I don't know who it is, but the author must have a high status in this country!"

Hu Ling looked up and scanned his surroundings. He soon saw another book lying open not far away. He dragged his injured body to his feet and picked up the second book. Then, a third book appeared not far ahead. He followed the notes that kept appearing on the ground in surprise.

However, what surprised Hu Ling was the number of notes, not why the notes had inexplicably fallen to the ground not far in front of him, and in an open state.

He was like a rooster lured into a trap by the grain, following the notebooks one by one until he finally came to the bookshelf. He hesitated, reached out and took a book, only to find that it was all in Chinese!

This is important intelligence; we should take it out of the country if possible.

During the battle, the Spear of the Rift revealed their identities as modern time travelers, proving that the king of this country was not unaware of his past as Sparrow claimed; in fact, they clearly knew that they were in a time loop!
The most likely reason for these people to realize they are caught in a cycle of history is those who fell with history. And the fact that this notebook in his hand is kept in this place and guarded by the Spear of the Rending King clearly indicates its considerable value.

Perhaps... through these notes, they can figure out the true state of affairs in this era!

The problem is how to get these notes out. In the past, when they stole things, they would put the stolen items in Hippolyta's box, but now the box is full of their wounds, and there are no empty boxes left.

“Hipposta, do you remember? The time we went to Egypt to steal the golden monkey and got trapped in that underground river,” Hu Ling asked.

Hippolyta turned to look at the other person. She remembered that time. That adventure was not a pleasant memory. They were trapped in a complex underground river. The naturally formed tunnels were extremely narrow, pitch black, and the only sound at their feet was the roar of the rushing river.

They and two other thieves, who had temporarily teamed up, groped their way through the maze-like tunnels with the golden monkey statue. Soon they ran out of food, and there weren't even rats or cockroaches on the ground. The wounds on each of their bodies soon began to rot and fester.

In order to survive and maximize the team's mobility, Hippolyta concentrated all the injuries on one person and carried his seriously wounded and dead comrade with him as rations. With this little bit of protein, they left the sunless underground river.

Of course, Hu Ling and Hippolyta did not eat. They threatened the remaining person to transfer the "hunger" they were experiencing to that person, making him feel full instead of them.

Hippolyta blinked, not understanding why Hu Ling suddenly brought this up.

Hu Ling said, "We transferred all our injuries to the bearded man. That guy has been 'preserved,' he won't die!" Hippolyta's eyes lit up, and she peeked outside. The bearded man's body was well preserved. His head was hanging from a tree, and his headless body was lying on the lawn, undamaged.

"Then how do we get him here? We can't just go out, can we? It's such a long distance, even you couldn't reach him now, could you?"

Hu Ling lowered his head and remained silent. He walked to the window and cautiously peered out from the edge. The headless body of the man with the mustache was about twenty meters away from the gate, while the monster paced back and forth about fifteen meters in front of the gate.

When the monster reached the far right, it was thirty meters away from the man with the mustache's body. Even if the monster reached the farthest point, Hu Ling was not confident that she could steal the man's body back.

Even if they managed to steal it, it would only solve the problem of freeing up the empty boxes; they still wouldn't be able to escape this hellish place.

"Damn it, is there really no other way?" Hu Ling gritted her teeth and said.

While Hu Ling and Hippolyta were at their wits' end, Su Weiyu stood beside them, observing their reactions.

Although Su Weiyu didn't know what the golden monkey the other party had just mentioned represented, she could tell that the two of them wanted to bring over the body of the man with the mustache.

Su Weiyu looked at the Spear of the Rift that had turned into a monster again, and reviewed the battle she had just witnessed in her illusion.

Actually, the monster wasn't that strong. The reason she was so badly injured in the battle was mainly because she was confused by the monster's true form, which caused her to lose focus for a moment, resulting in her arm being bitten off and her being kicked.

Su Weiyu asked herself honestly, if she could do it all over again, she could easily dodge the opponent's two attacks, but she had no clue how to deal with the invisible sword energy that struck her chest directly at the end.

If there's a way to deal with that unpredictable, invisible attack, then she might be able to kill it.

Su Weiyu gripped the hilt of the Ghost Eye Goose Feather sword tightly, her expression tense. She had already severed her stand-in relationship with Xia Shou, and if she got injured again, she might really be finished.

She closed her eyes and carefully recalled the invisible attack she had suffered in the illusion, not missing a single sensory experience.

Then she remembered that when she was hit by the invisible attack and a wound appeared on her chest, she did feel as if she had been slashed, and her skin and flesh were being torn apart.

Although the injury happened quickly and in a flash, she wouldn't forget it.

"So, it wasn't a direct lock-on to the activated ability, but rather an unseen attack that hit me. If that's the case..."

Su Weiyu decided to give it a try.
