A keyhole undid Feng Xiaoyu's clothes. That was the lowest difficulty. If a keyhole of the highest difficulty could be unlocked on a human body, perhaps it could erase a person completely.
Of course, this was Luo's theoretical guess when he saw Feng Xiaoyu's clothes turned into nothingness.
However, the magical key possessed by the great thief in that book, although it could treat a human body as the door to a treasure trove, did not cause substantial harm when opening it.
According to Feng Xiaoyu herself, she had never experimented on a human body, and the original intention of this Nen ability was not to harm people but to unlock things, so it was very likely incapable of harming anyone.
"Stop shouting. Can you lock it back?"
Seeing Feng Xiaoyu scream for several seconds, Luo shook the Intelligence Ring in his hand.
Biscuit circled around Feng Xiaoyu like an old rogue, occasionally smacking her lips.
Feng Xiaoyu's body had undergone systematic training. She didn't have very solid muscles but was full of streamlined beauty like a cheetah. Compared to men, her explosive power might be weaker, but she was very pleasing to the eye.
"Put the Intelligence Ring back on!"
Realizing what had happened, Feng Xiaoyu covered her chest and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Luo clasped the two Intelligence Rings together. At the same time, the vanished clothes on Feng Xiaoyu's body reappeared along a thin black line, slowly like a scanner.
"I see."
Luo looked thoughtfully at the Intelligence Ring in his hand. Unlocking was difficult, but locking was easy. This must be the characteristic of the Treasury of the Twelve Thieves.
Suddenly, the Intelligence Ring turned into Nen and dissipated into the air. It did not return to Feng Xiaoyu's body because this Nen had already been used up, like wood burning to ashes, with no possibility of recovery.
"Interesting Nen."
Luo smiled slightly at the slightly angry Feng Xiaoyu.
Feng Xiaoyu dared not show her anger and remained silent.
This man and woman were definitely not to be trifled with. She had to stay low-key until they left.
"By the way, my name is Luo, and I am a full-time hunter. She is Biscuit, a gem hunter." Luo took out his phone and smiled, "Leave a phone number. If the lock at home breaks in the future, I'll give you a fifty percent discount."
A nonchalant joke once again hit Feng Xiaoyu like an arrow to the knee.
Suppressing the urge to punch Luo, Feng Xiaoyu obediently cooperated and reported her number.
Luo entered the number into his phone, then dialed it. Two or three seconds later, a ringtone came from Feng Xiaoyu's body.
"OK."
Luo put away his phone and said, "As the saying goes, having a friend is like having an extra road. After we leave, you might change your number, but I suggest you don't. You might need my help someday."
"Of course, I'll charge you half price too."
After saying this, Luo ignored Feng Xiaoyu's reaction, closed the carved stone door, placed his hand on it, and activated his Nen. Five seconds later, a "Divine Character" emerged.
This time, he didn't intend to waste his lifespan playing the harp version of the Sonata but simply used a Divine Character with much lower strength.
It could be predicted that after they left, Feng Xiaoyu might go down once. However, the more valuable things had already been looted by him. If she searched hard, she would only find some small items.
"Divine Character?" Biscuit raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
Luo planted the Divine Character, then stood up.
"You've improved a lot over the years." Biscuit sighed. She was surprised at how quickly Luo could plant the Divine Character, a technique few would waste time mastering.
Luo just smiled at Biscuit and then looked at Feng Xiaoyu, who was utterly confused, evidently not knowing what the Divine Character was.
"There's a vine plant in Stajy's Tomb that sucks blood. Also, closing doors behind you is a good habit."
Reminding Feng Xiaoyu, Luo then called Biscuit and the black cat and descended the mountain.
Feng Xiaoyu stood frozen, watching Luo and Biscuit leave. However, she did not rush to try to open the carved stone door. She wondered if those two really left nothing behind.
After patiently waiting for half an hour, Feng Xiaoyu approached the carved stone door. This time, even without using Nen, she could tell that the difficulty of unlocking it had changed.
"It's different from before."
Feng Xiaoyu muttered to herself and used the "Treasury of the Twelve Thieves."
Nen flowed, and seven keyholes appeared on the carved stone door.
"Only seven, no problem at all."
Feng Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and eight Intelligence Rings automatically materialized in her hand, entangled in a mess that would make anyone's scalp tingle.
She began to focus, slowly unlocking the Intelligence Rings.
At this moment, she didn't know that the tomb no longer contained anything valuable. Even if she went down, she would gain nothing.
Luo's reminder about the dangers in the tomb indicated he knew Feng Xiaoyu could break the Divine Character's seal. And "closing doors behind you" reminded her to block the entrance with stones after leaving the tomb.
Finding the tomb's entrance was the result of her hard work. Unfortunately, this time, her efforts would be in vain.
Down the mountain, Luo and Biscuit walked through the forest.
"You seem to value Feng Xiaoyu's Nen a lot." Biscuit looked ahead.
"Yes, ever since I learned Nen, I've seen many Nen abilities. I think many special Nen abilities will have their moments. Maybe Feng Xiaoyu's Nen will be useful someday." Luo said.
In his memory, from the Hunter arc to the Ant arc, all sorts of unreasonable Nen abilities kept emerging like fountains.
Among the various Nen abilities, some were not specialist types but had very special effects.
Luo considered Feng Xiaoyu's Nen to be one of the more unique ones, worth keeping contact information for.
Hearing Luo's words, Biscuit did not pursue the topic further.
The two walked in silence and eventually returned to the lakeside villa.
During dinner, Luo prepared a sumptuous feast of mountain delicacies.
After a hearty meal, Luo brought up the question he had asked Biscuit in the tomb again.
"Have you made up your mind?"
The autumn night was a bit lonely, with few insect sounds, but a bright moon reflected on the lake, shimmering with ripples.
"It's very dangerous there." Biscuit said.
"Hmm?" Luo waited for more.
Biscuit looked at him and sighed, "So I must go."
Luo was puzzled by this logic.
Seeing Luo's confused look, Biscuit shook her head slightly without explaining and said, "Anyway, I'll go with you."
Her statement meant she was worried that Luo might face danger alone in the Dark Continent. With her accompanying him, at least there would be someone to rely on.
Seeing Biscuit agree, a smile appeared on Luo's face.
"Now, we just need to prepare, and we can set off."
