Jiang Nian'an quickly flicked out some vines, one to fix it above and the other to throw towards the three of them.

Just as they were about to touch Shen Nanxing and the other two, a column of water carrying a putrid and damp smell suddenly rushed up from the bottomless abyss below, knocking the vine in Jiang Nian'an's hand aside.

At the same time, the anchor point of another vine that Jiang Nian'an was holding also collapsed.

It smashed straight at her head.

"An'an, be careful!"

Shen Nanxing flung out a chain of lightning, which wrapped around the vine in her hand, and pulled her into his arms.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from below again, followed by a cloud of pale green gas.

"This is..."

Jiang Nian'an fainted before she could finish speaking.

The same happened to Shen Nanxing and the other two; they only smelled a breath of pale green gas before losing consciousness.

The pale green gas continued to rise.

All the mutated creatures that came into contact with it lost consciousness in an instant, and then fell one after another into the cracked ground.

Two hundred meters underground.

When Jiang Nian'an woke up, she found herself lying on something soft, like a plush cushion.

The sound of water filled the surroundings, and in the distance, the cries for help and the sounds of survivors fleeing could be heard.

It was almost pitch black in front of me, with only a few small, fluorescent flying insects providing a little light.

"Where is this place?"

She rubbed her still somewhat dazed head, slowly sat up, and then took out a flashlight.

The moment she turned on the flashlight, Jiang Nian'an saw what was beneath her.

"My God!"

She leaped up and sprang forward, quickly getting to her feet and darting two meters ahead.

She wasn't lying on a plush mat at all; she was lying on a corpse covered in long black hair, its face unrecognizable.

"What is this thing?"

Jiang Nian'an shone a flashlight and carefully examined the corpse.

It looks like a monkey, but its fur is much longer and its body is much larger.

There was nothing else or any life in this place except for her and this corpse.

Of the three, Shen Nanxing, Xiao Yin, and Da Wang were missing.

The little green dragon in the space was also perched on the jewelry box with its little bottom sticking out, unaware of what was happening.

Although she was unconscious at that time, she was still able to sense that Xiao Qinglong had intervened at the last moment to protect them.

He then collapsed from exhaustion due to mental strain.

"But why didn't Brother Chen and the others fall with me?"

As Jiang Nian'an muttered to herself, she looked down at herself.

He has many injuries on his legs and arms.

Most of them were abrasions, the most serious being a 3-centimeter-deep cut on his left arm that was still bleeding.

However, in Jiang Nian'an's view, these were all superficial injuries.

She threw a mat on the ground, propped the flashlight against the wall, and applied medicine to herself while looking around.

I found myself in what seemed to be a cave.

Before us was a narrow, seemingly endless road, beside which flowed a swiftly current.

Besides the path underfoot, the area above and to the left and right is covered with stalactites of various shapes.

The stalactites were covered with vines of varying thicknesses, some of which were slowly twisting and crawling like snakes.

Various insects, both known and unknown, roamed among them.

The insects around Jiang Nian'an tried to attack, but they were all scared away by her holding the insecticide.

'Splash'

Halfway through administering the medicine, a black fish about half a foot long with small, sharp teeth in its mouth suddenly leaped out of the river and lunged at Jiang Nian'an.

Without even looking up, she swung her knife and chopped the fish in two.

Then, controlling the vines, he retrieved the crystal core from the fish's brain and continued applying the medicine.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Nian'an, carrying the large knife from the museum, walked forward with a wary expression.

She needs to find Shen Nanxing and the others quickly.

"Fortunately, we prepared emergency kits for all three of them before they fell."

As for Xiao Yin and Da Wang, Jiang Nian'an wasn't particularly worried.

Regardless of the environment, mutant plants and animals have a higher survival rate than humans.

After walking about 300 meters, a fork in the road appeared on the left, about two meters wide, with the faint sound of thunder coming from the depths.

"Could it be Brother Shen and the others?"

Jiang Nian'an was overjoyed and quickly turned around and went over there.

After taking only two steps, they saw the corpse of a survivor covered in black rats.

It was about the size of a palm, covered in sticky red and yellow stuff, all huddled together.

Jiang Nian'an's face unconsciously wrinkled up.

It's not fear, it's disgust.

'Squeak'

The black rats that were gnawing on the corpse heard the noise behind them and suddenly turned around.

Perhaps because they live in dark places all year round, these black rats have no eyes, only a pair of big ears.

Smelling the fresh flesh and blood, the black rats immediately abandoned the corpse and rushed towards Jiang Nian'an.

'Squeak'

Jiang Nian'an remained calm. With a light stomp of her right foot, a patch of splinters rose up beneath the black rats, pinning them to the spot.

'Squeak'

The black rats struggled painfully on the splinters.

Jiang Nian'an shot out green lines from her fingertips, piercing their brains and forcibly pulling out their crystal cores.

As soon as I threw the crystal core into the space, a strong gust of wind came from behind me.

Jiang Nian'an leaped forward quickly and swung his sword backhand, only to be knocked away by a huge head.

She stumbled back a dozen steps, staring intently at the creature that had attacked her.

It turned out to be a giant lizard over three meters long, its enormous body filling the entire passageway.
