Borrowing a sword

Chapter 25 Hidden Dungeon
"The child is injured?" Niu Yuanshan's face showed only a hint of doubt, but his heart tightened suddenly.

Han Shuangjiang nodded, realizing that she had found the right approach.

"I had a little disagreement with someone." She began to delve deeper into the topic.

Upon hearing this, Steward Niu frowned and immediately asked, "Is the injury serious?"

The cold-faced girl replied earnestly, "I don't know either. He didn't let me see it. He seems to like to put on a brave face."

She used a bit of rhetoric, making it half true and half false.

From an outsider's perspective, Liu Chengqi's final move in Baguazhang, a move whose name she had already forgotten, was fierce and looked extraordinary.

But what about the Chu Huai Preface?
He didn't even utter a sound after being hit by half a palm strike.

—He seems quite masculine.

Realizing he might be in trouble, he remained clear-headed and made a quick decision.

Most importantly, whether in front of Liu Chengqi or now, he is always standing in front of Han Shuangjiang.

It's as if no matter what happens, he's there to support you.

Even amidst a crisis, this fox-faced man still had the time to grin and joke, without adding to the pressure on others.

A man's ability, methods, and mindset in handling situations are actually a very attractive quality.

Moreover, this trait applies to both men and women.

Due to various life experiences, Han Shuangjiang is bound to be a person who lacks a sense of security.

Although I only had a brief encounter with Chu Huaixu, I felt inexplicably at ease.

Therefore, he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility and was determined to do a good job in providing support.

How could someone who came from a brothel be a naive and innocent girl?

Communication skills are a course she needs to learn.

As expected, Niu Yuanshan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Who the hell dared to lay a hand on someone in our organization!" He was already seething with rage.

Looking at the jar of Erlang wine from the Moon Kingdom on the table, his anger intensified.

However, Niu Yuanshan still needed a reason.

Regardless, he was the "Golden Mask" of the organization. That golden mask signified his core strength and high regard for him!
He knew that Chu Huaixu, this newcomer, was quite eccentric, seemingly very good at finding new paths and acting flamboyantly.

Unlike us, he doesn't just stay low-key and lie low.

But he had only just joined the outer sect when a private fight broke out, and he felt he needed to know more about the situation.

Deacon Niu did not show much anger on his face, and his words were reasonable: "You two were brought by the Sixth Elder, so he must have asked me to take care of you."

"Shuangjiang, tell me the whole story. What exactly happened?"

"Okay," Han Shuangjiang said.

Inside the bamboo house, Chu Huaixu unbuttoned his robe and examined his injuries.

"It's alright, no major problems."

He hung the blood-stained dagger back on his waist.

He had just looked at some mission details, and based on the system's description, he realized he was in deep trouble this time.

"The task system will rate the difficulty of the task based on a variety of comprehensive information."

"The levels are divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D."

"A-level mission, that's the highest level."

"In other words, according to the system's assessment, Liu Chengqi is someone that players shouldn't mess with during the beginner phase!"

Even more outrageous is that this passive task is called "Revenge from Liu Chengqi," and the task content is simply to not die, and it will be considered completed.

"Damn it, he's trying to kill me!" Chu Huaixu was speechless.

Don't get killed. Even if we complete the mission, what's Liu Chengqi's background anyway?

"Moreover, the mission requirement is simply not to get killed, yet the difficulty level is marked as 'Level A' by the system."

"Isn't this basically the system telling me that I'm unlikely to avoid being beaten to death?!" This is extremely unfriendly to a transmigrator like me.

There's nothing we can do; for silly players, it's just a matter of failing the mission and wasting a [resurrection coin].

Chu Huaixu also had 3 resurrection coins, but he was unsure if he could be resurrected and did not want to take the risk.

"The mission reward is quite generous, a full 1000 experience points."

For a new player, the reward is quite high, enough to level up several times.

Besides that, Chu Huaixu's gaze was deeply drawn to a line of text.

"There is a certain probability of triggering a hidden dungeon."

This is what he cares about most!
Hidden dungeons are what the system and players call them. In the Xuanhuang Realm, they're generally referred to as serendipitous encounters or fortuitous opportunities!
This made Chu Huaixu fall into deep thought.

"Hidden dungeon?"

He thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered something, wondering if it might be related to the hidden dungeon.

“I previously sent Liu Chengqi an information detection device to see how capable he was.”

"The system's feedback is that he is currently in a state of spiritual embryo damage."

"Could it be about the spirit embryo?"

These hidden dungeons that have a chance to be triggered are the most despicable.

This means that even if you complete the task perfectly, it may not trigger.

There are too many coincidences involved.

It relies entirely on players to explore and discover things on their own, or to try their luck.

When he played "Borrowing Swords," this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was incredibly excited.

As a result, after repeated failed attempts, he gradually became indifferent and his mindset returned to peace.

It would be best if it could be triggered, but if it can't, then so be it.

A voice soon rang out from outside.

"Where are Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang? Come out and see me!"

Chu Huaixu had no intention of escaping. He opened the door and saw three men dressed in black robes standing outside the bamboo house.

The leader was about 1.75 meters tall and looked somewhat like Liu Chengqi. He had a coiled whip around his waist and lightning bolt embroidery on the chest of his black robe.

"Enforcement team?" Chu Huaixu narrowed his eyes.

Every country has its laws, and every department has its rules.

Enforcement teams exist for this reason.

One of the more severe punishments in Taoism is whipping.

"What Singaporean rules?" Chu Huaixu thought to himself, glancing at the long whip at his waist.

As far as he knew, the outer sect used ordinary whips, but the inner sect used something different.

Do you see the lightning bolts tattooed on their chests?
The inner sect uses the Thunder Whip.
Some Taoist players who enjoy being whipped will deliberately cause trouble, just to get their kicks.

After lowering the pain threshold, it's not very painful but still electrifying, which is incredibly arousing and makes you want to ejaculate.

Chu Huaixu's gaze sharpened slightly, but he had actually considered that he might come to the official forces.

"How should I address you, fellow disciples?" he asked.

[Information Detection] He has already lost, and three question marks have appeared, which means that the other party's character level is at least 10 levels higher than his, and he is a genuine cultivator.

"Liu Chenggong, deputy captain of the Yaoshan law enforcement team," the leader replied.

Upon hearing this name, Chu Huaixu felt that this person and Liu Chengqi were listed on the same page in the Liu family genealogy.

They're all from the same generation, right?
"I wonder what Captain Liu wants to see me about?" He began to feign ignorance.

"You have already violated the sect rules by causing trouble in Medicine Mountain and engaging in unauthorized private fighting. After injuring people, you also robbed them of their money, which is an additional crime!"

"Junior Brother Chu, come with us!"
