Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 102 System 0 Items - Back to Work

Frog Fun...

Yan Huai couldn't help but groan, his steps were forced back a few steps, so that his back, which he hadn't had time to guard against, also touched the tentacle that was chasing after him.

The feeling of flesh being corroded and spasming was awful, but fortunately Yan Huai managed to steady himself in time. After swirling the Branding Blade in his palm, the tentacle that had pierced his back snapped off instantly.

However, after this brief respite, Yan Huai was troubled again—Zhang Qiling was really not giving him a chance!

Yan Huai felt like he was being treated like a living dead in a tomb. If he moved or resisted, Zhang Qiling would catch him and teach him a lesson. But this absurd thought only flashed through his mind. Before he could grasp anything, he was hit by the Black Gold Ancient Blade again.

The sounds of two different yet complementary blades clashing in his mind grew increasingly intense. Yan Huai couldn't possibly have truly injured Zhang Qiling, but if this continued, he would have to withdraw his mental energy prematurely.

Are we really going to return empty-handed?

This only depleted Yan Huai's mental strength, but if he missed this opportunity, he would be instinctively rejected and wary of Zhang Qiling when he tried to enter Zhang Qiling's sea of ​​consciousness again. Not to mention, he would never be able to coax someone into voluntarily binding their soul to him.

"Zhang Qiling..." How can I make you remember me, or realize that the person in front of you is me?

After the closer contact and eye contact just now, Yan Huai could roughly guess some of the reasons why Zhang Qiling had become like this.

Just as initially suspected, Zhang Qiling was indeed not controlled, nor did he show any reluctance. His expression was clear, and the indifference he revealed was exactly the same as the first time Yan Huai saw him in the Corpse Cave.

Therefore, this can only mean that Zhang Qiling has either completely lost all memories of Yan Huai, or he simply cannot recognize the current Yan Huai as Yan Huai...

Simply put, Zhang Qiling saw Yan Huai as something else entirely, something that had absolutely nothing to do with Yan Huai.

And the instigator of all this is definitely inextricably linked to the rules of the world in the book.

Yan Huai secretly shifted the blame for being beaten to the Void Rules that were about to reveal their true form. Unfortunately, his immediate priority was to show Zhang Qiling something that could prove his identity.

The dragon's body? This is a backup option. Unless absolutely necessary, Yan Huai still wants to keep it as a contingency plan and safeguard for himself and Zhang Qiling.

As for the rest... well, preferably items that won't break and can be carried around.

While desperately dodging Zhang Qiling and the attacks from the surrounding tentacles, Yan Huai racked his brains trying to think of something that Zhang Qiling could recognize.

It was at this moment that a certain sensation that Yan Huai had become accustomed to, inside his sleeve and on his wrist, suddenly became more pronounced.

That's right, the Buddhist prayer beads! Zhang Qiling had seen them many times before; he would definitely recognize them!

Yan Huai immediately perked up. He seized the opportunity to deliberately reveal a hint of retreat. As Zhang Qiling took the opportunity to swing his knife and approach, he flashed and appeared behind his opponent.

The blade of the branding knife, along with the arm exerting force, gripped Zhang Qiling's waist tightly. Without pausing, Yan Huai exposed his left wrist, along with the Buddhist beads, to Zhang Qiling.
