Chapter 375 - Chapter 375 Chapter 371 Xiaocao Mistaken Identity

Chapter 375: Chapter 371 Xiaocao: Mistaken Identity? Chapter 375: Chapter 371 Xiaocao: Mistaken Identity? “Cang Luan?”

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed in surprise.

Although Fang Xiaocao was astonished,

her hands did not slow down.

With a flick of her wrist, the hidden weapon she had been holding shot out with force.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh–

The hidden weapon broke through the air, emitting a high-pitched, explosive sound.

Three willow leaf flying knives flew out in a T-shape, aiming for “Cang Luan’s” throat and both ribs.

At the same time, Fang Xiaocao reached into the stone coffin, grabbed the Blood Jade Ring, and quickly stepped backward, positioning herself for combat.

“Cang Luan” in the air twisted her body forcefully, dodging the flying knife aimed at her throat, but her arms and stomach were struck by the knives aimed at her ribs, shooting out two gushes of blood.

Fang Xiaocao stuffed the Blood Jade Ring into her pocket and shook her hands repeatedly, launching one hidden weapon after another towards “Cang Luan.”

Fang Xiaocao knew that Cang Luan was powerful.

At least first-class level. If she were to get close, there was no doubt Fang Xiaocao would die.

She could only opt for a kite-flying combat strategy, using her hidden weapons from a distance to wear her down, only then would there be a sliver of chance for survival.

As for hypnotism…

Unless absolutely necessary, Fang Xiaocao dared not try it. Now, without the assistance of the Taotie Gang to control Cang Luan–she had failed even with their help, not to mention now that she was fighting alone.

The chances of success were extremely slim.

It was very likely that before she could succeed, she would be killed by Cang Luan.

Fang Xiaocao kept firing hidden weapons while retreating towards the direction of the pool.

If she had no other choice, Fang Xiaocao was prepared to jump into the pool and re-enter the underground river.

After all, she had obtained the Blood Jade Ring, and she was no longer interested in any treasures that might be in the ancient tomb. Even a mountain of gold would not tempt her to exchange it.

As long as she could wield the Blood Jade Ring and turn it into a tool for her hypnotism, she could barely enter the ranks of the top elite.

As Fang Xiaocao fought and retreated, her technique with hidden weapons had long been perfected. The angles from which she launched them were extremely tricky. Even though “Cang Luan” was incredibly fast and could dodge them at close range, her body was still pierced by many hidden weapons.

It was just that these hidden weapons did not hit any vitals, and the thick black hair served as a cushion like soft armor, resulting in the weapons not penetrating deeply.

“Roar!”

Being teased and provoked in every way by Fang Xiaocao, “Cang Luan” let out a roar and switched into berserk mode.

Disregarding the oncoming hidden weapons, she dived towards Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao was horrified; it was already too late to turn around and run now, and her speed was not as fast as Cang Luan’s–she simply couldn’t outrun her.

“What to do?”

Fang Xiaocao asked herself.

“Here goes nothing!”

Fang Xiaocao bit her lip and took out the Blood Jade Ring from her pocket, showing it off across the space to “Cang Luan.”

Ever since she saw the Blood Jade Ring, Fang Xiaocao had suspected that Cang Luan’s bizarre behavior might have something to do with the Blood Jade Ring.

Maybe she was being influenced by the Blood Jade Ring?

Fang Xiaocao herself was also a master of spiritual power and had almost been affected by the Blood Jade Ring, struggling to maintain her own mind. What more for someone who knew nothing about mental power?

Even with strong martial skills, Cang Luan’s mental power couldn’t compare to Fang Xiaocao’s, so being affected by the Blood Jade Ring was not surprising.

As she showed off the Blood Jade Ring, Fang Xiaocao immediately activated her hypnotism.

In an instant, Fang Xiaocao’s eyes turned into an unfathomable abyss, swallowing “Cang Luan” in front of her.

“Become my knight, or perish!”

Fang Xiaocao said sternly.

She used hypnotism in these words; her eyes, voice, and the Blood Jade Ring all attacked “Cang Luan” together.

“Cang Luan’s” body instantly stiffened in place, shaking uncontrollably.

After enduring for a minute, “Cang Luan” could no longer withstand the immense mental pressure and, with an expression of agony, knelt at Fang Xiaocao’s feet, clutching her head.

“Phew…”

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiaocao let out a sigh of relief, knowing that her gamble was correct.

The Blood Jade Ring indeed could enhance hypnotism.

She had successfully hypnotized “Cang Luan.”

The spiritual power within “Cang Luan” had just started to rise in defiance when it was scattered by the power emanating from the Blood Jade Ring in her hand.

“Stand up!”

Fang Xiaocao commanded.

“Cang Luan” kowtowed to Fang Xiaocao and obediently stood up, as docile as a dog.

Fang Xiaocao’s mouth curved into a smile.

“Raise your head!”

Fang Xiaocao ordered again.

“Cang Luan” obediently lifted his head.

Fang Xiaocao nodded in satisfaction, “Good boy!”

When Fang Xiaocao looked at “Cang Luan,” she suddenly froze, her mouth agape in surprise.

Fang Xiaocao took a few quick steps to “Cang Luan’s” side, pulled open the animal hide wrapped around his body for a peek, and exclaimed, “How can it be a man?”

Fang Xiaocao was flummoxed.

Wasn’t Cang Luan a woman?

How did she turn into a man in the blink of an eye?

Even if you took a Flying Dagger to Thailand for a sex change surgery, it couldn’t be this fast, could it?

“Could he not be Cang Luan?”

Fang Xiaocao finally realized that she might have made a mistake, assuming that this wild person was Cang Luan just because they looked alike.

“What’s your name?”

Fang Xiaocao cautiously asked.

“Uh uh uh…”

The Wild Man opened his mouth, emitting a string of unintelligible syllables.

Fang Xiaocao scratched her head, truly not understanding what the Wild Man was saying.

Fang Xiaocao guessed that the Wild Man must have gone so long without speaking that he had temporarily lost his ability to speak.

“I’ll give you a name!”

“Hmm…”

“Let’s call you Brainless!”

“How’s that?”

Naming prodigy Xiaocao made her return.

If Steal Kasaya and Hei Ta were here right now, they would be overjoyed; they wouldn’t be alone anymore, as they now had a new brother.

Brainless nodded.

He had turned into a Wild Man in the desert; what could he possibly know about whether a name was good or bad?

He could understand Fang Xiaocao’s commands only because of the bond between them, barely grasping what was said.

Having subdued Brainless, Fang Xiaocao also realized a problem–that this Ancient Tomb, constructed at an unknown time, might be home to many Wild Men like him.

Including the sticky rice dumpling that had caused the Tomb Raider Sect great failure years ago, they might all be these Wild Men.

This tomb was far more dangerous than imagined.

Fang Xiaocao removed all the Hidden Weapons from Brainless’s body, inserting them back into her Tactical Vest, and without bandaging Brainless’s wounds, she walked toward the stone chamber once again.

Brainless followed step by step behind Fang Xiaocao, silent and occasionally wiping the blood on his body with his hand, licking it off his fingers.

Clearly, years of living a beast’s life had conditioned Brainless to consume blood food.

Blood and raw meat were the food they survived on, and being rare, Brainless didn’t want to waste any bit of it.

“Brainless, carry me up!”

Fang Xiaocao pointed to the hole Brainless had come down from and commanded him.

Brainless nodded and crouched down.

Fang Xiaocao packed all the jade from the Stone Coffin into her backpack and, holding her nose, clambered onto Brainless’s back.

Scaling walls as if walking on flat ground, Brainless used his hands and feet to climb the several-meter-high rock face in no time, with Fang Xiaocao on his back.

Fang Xiaocao got down from Brainless’s back, cracked open a Glow Stick, and tossed it into the hole, peering into the depths.

Upon looking inside, Fang Xiaocao was stunned…
