Chapter 66: Sets
As soon as he squatted down, Li Ang realized there was a moderately long brush tucked into the back of his waistband.
He pulled out the brush and scrutinized it. The handle was made of fine bamboo, and the tip consisted of wolf hair—moderately long, firm, and pointed. The very tip was soaked in bright red cinnabar paint.
After discreetly activating his Cat’s Eye Spiritual Sense to inspect it, Li Ang still couldn’t find anything unusual about this script prop. It really just seemed like a cheap brush one could buy for twenty yuan at a stationery store.
This thing would break with just a bend...
Gingerly testing the sturdiness of the brush handle, Li Ang thought to himself, I can’t put it in my backpack slot, so my only option is to carry it. It could easily be damaged, or the cinnabar paint on the tip could be rubbed off. As for whether the brush would still work on talismans once the handle is damaged or the paint is worn off... only the System knows.
In other words, besides the mission requirements revealed by the System, there could very well be a hidden condition to "protect the brush."
Even though every player had a brush, considering that everyone would be chased by Ghosts, potentially leading to a reduction in team size, each brush was an important strategic resource.
Li Ang was thinking this over when he took out the large black umbrella from his backpack slot. He gestured for Chai Cuiqiao to keep silent. After she entered his body, he explained the current situation to her in detail.
Li Ang silently mused, The situation this time is very complicated. The Monsters we’re facing are exceptionally sensitive to sound and light. Once discovered, we cannot engage in combat with them, as it would create noise and attract the attacks of more Fierce Ghosts.
