Moreover, once placed in the System Backpack, the item’s state would be frozen, and it could be guaranteed that it would never rot.

The hot water that Lin Xiu had put into his backpack in the morning was still steaming. The heat preservation effect was second to none!

After resting for five minutes, when Lin Xiu was about to finish his bread, two people’s complaints finally came from the tunnel behind him.

“F*ck, what kind of lousy underground cave is this? It’s freezing me to death.”

“I thought the word ‘Frost’ in front of the ‘Cave’ was a term. I didn’t expect it to be an adjective!”

At the exit of the tunnel, Wan Zhuoyun’s face was purple from the cold. He covered his clothes as he walked out, cursing. His entire body was almost frozen.

Ding Shiyu, who was following behind, was in a better condition because she was wearing a windbreaker. However, the other party’s pretty face was also very stiff, as if she was also quite cold.

Seeing the two people’s very miserable appearance, a smile involuntarily surfaced on Lin Xiu’s face.

“The two of you are in such a good mood. You’ve been sightseeing all the way and only came out so late.”

Lin Xiu said with a smile as he placed the cup back into his System Backpack.

He had just eaten and drunk hot water, so his condition was much better now.

However, the two people in front of him were clearly not as well-prepared as him. They probably did not bring any food with them.

“Aren’t you good at stealing monsters? Why did you suddenly stop?”

Wan Zhuoyun’s entire body trembled, and at the same time, he looked at Lin Xiu with a vigilant expression.

Ding Shiyu immediately cast a wind-type spell to clean off the white frost on her body.

Facing the two’s suspicious gazes, Lin Xiu chuckled. “Of course, I’m worried about you guys. No matter what, we’re comrades. In such a dangerous environment, it’s very dangerous to rashly separate.”

Lin Xiu said matter-of-factly, revealing a harmless expression at the same time.

However, the two people at the entrance of the tunnel had a look of disbelief on their faces. They continued to look around vigilantly, afraid that the other party had set up some trap here.

While the two of them searched around for places that might be dangerous in the surroundings, Lin Xiu seemed to be watching a show, standing at the side silently.

A few minutes later, the two of them regained their warmth. At the same time, they did not find any danger in this space.

Refocusing her gaze on Lin Xiu, Ding Shiyu frowned and said, “What are you planning? Don’t lie by saying that you care about us.”

Wan Zhuoyun had already revealed the plan. Even if Lin Xiu was a fool, it was impossible for him to not have any reaction to this.

Therefore, Ding Shiyu did not believe that the other party would have any thoughts of cooperating.

“You want to know?” Looking at the other party’s vigilant expression, Lin Xiu pointed to the entrance of the cave at the side, “Won’t it be clear once we go in and take a look!?”

“There are only 2 hours and 20 minutes left before the Catacombs exploration ends. You guys aren’t planning to stay here forever, are you?” looking at the time, Lin Xiu said indifferently.

Although he wanted to level up to level 2 immediately, he had killed at least four monsters, which was equivalent to earning 800R. The two of them had been in the Catacombs for more than 40 minutes, but they had not even touched a single monster.

Therefore, they must be even more anxious.

At the exit of the tunnel, Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun’s eyes met frequently, as if they were asking for each other’s opinion.

“This is the only path to the left fork. If we don’t go in, we have to return to the fork in the cave,” Wan Zhuoyun glanced at Lin Xiu who was still calm, then said with an ugly expression.

Right now, they had no other choice but to force themselves to advance.

He did not want to walk through that cold tunnel again. He was unwilling to turn back even if he was beaten to death.

“Since there’s no way out, what’s there to consider?” Ding Shiyu’s pretty face was icy cold as she said coldly.

Soon, the three of them reached an agreement. Lin Xiu took the lead and climbed up the pile of rocks, jumping into the cave below.

Although the other two were somewhat unwilling, they could only follow because they had no way out.

After a while, the three of them entered the spacious cavern.

The cone-shaped stalactites above their heads, the underground river water flowing continuously on the left side of the cavern, and the rotten smell in the air all intertwined to create a gloomy and dangerous environment.

The two people who came in later were obviously stunned when they saw the surrounding environment.

Obviously, he did not expect that there would be an underground river in such a cold and humid place.

“Don’t blame me for not reminding you. There are many small animals here. If you want to pass through here, we have to work together. Otherwise, no one can escape unscathed.”

Lin Xiu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He bent down and picked up a stone from the ground. As he spoke, he immediately threw the stone into the depths of the cave.

The two people behind him did not quite understand what he said at first, but as Lin Xiu threw the stone with force, a series of collision sounds sounded from the ground not far away.

A rustling sound suddenly came from the originally quiet cavern.

Immediately after, Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun saw an unforgettable scene.

In the originally dark cave not far away, blood-red light suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The light rays appeared in twos and twos, and they often existed in parallel positions.

As the light spots got closer, they realized that the source of the red light was actually huge rats with shiny fur and ferocious faces!

“F*ck! Rats!”

Looking at the tens of giant rats not far away, Wan Zhuoyun was so frightened that he jumped up and almost ran away.

Ding Shiyu, who was beside him, was so scared that her face turned pale and she almost collapsed to the ground.

In fact, it was not Ding Shiyu’s fault for being too fragile. Anyone who saw so many rats with their fangs intertwined and blood-red eyes in this limited space would be so scared that they would scream.

Even Lin Xiu, who had always had a strong mental state, was so scared that he took a few steps back when he saw the Greater Rat for the first time.

Moreover, what appeared in front of the three of them was not just one, but a group!

The giant rats that were larger than cats were like a tide, constantly appearing from the cave and approaching the three of them.

No one would be able to remain calm in such a scene.

“There are actually so many level 3 monsters. Are these the little animals you were talking about? Lin Xiu, are you planning to die together with us?”

Wan Zhuoyun gritted his teeth and cursed angrily. He was about to go crazy from the stimulation.

If he had known that the cave in front of him was filled with such things, he would not have come in no matter what.

Even if he backed out on the spot, the result would be better than now.

After all, as long as there was life, there was hope. No matter what the outcome was, it was better than being eaten by these rats.

At this moment, Ding Shiyu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She no longer had the domineering look she had in life.

Seeing the two people behind him on the verge of breaking down, Lin Xiu inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

If it was not for the fact that the Heart Summoning Mirror was shining all around and the images would be transmitted to the outside in real-time, he would have killed these two people right now.

However, if he really did that, the consequences would not be something that he and his family could bear!

At that time, not only would the two great families move, but even the school would continue to put pressure on the Lin Family.

At that time, how much could the Lin Family do in the face of multiple crises?
