After carefully surveying the area around the mine entrance and confirming that no other zombies were lurking, Jiang Wu whistled.

Soon, the giant bird slowly circled down and landed steadily on the ground.

Jiang Wu jumped onto the bird's back and said calmly, "Tell me about the specific situation inside the mine."

Mi Qingying glanced at Jiang Wu with her beautiful big eyes, her expression complicated.

She then looked at the entrance to the mine, which was now covered with mutated plants, and said seriously, "I'll go in with you. This mine is very complicated and very deep. I walked for a long time back then, and I don't know how to explain it. I can only promise to rely on my memory to take you to the place where you saw a large number of advanced evolved zombies."

Jiang Wu glanced at Mi Qingying's eyes and asked, "How good is your vision in the dark?"

Mi Qingying said earnestly, "After becoming an evolved being, my eyes are special. I can see more clearly and farther in the dark than in the daytime."

Jiang Wu smiled slightly and said, "Alright, come in with me. Don't worry, I will do my best to protect your safety."

Mi Qingying calmly said, "If there is any danger, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not afraid of dying."

Jiang Wu smiled but didn't say anything.

Instead, they headed towards the mine entrance.

Upon reaching the entrance, Jiang Wu pulled up his mask and then reminded, "Put on the hood and the mask. As long as your eyes aren't injured, practically nothing can pierce this robe."

Following behind Jiang Wu, Mi Qingying softly hummed in agreement.

As soon as you enter the mine, a strong stench of decay hits you, as if countless corpses were piled up inside.

However, Jiang Wu did not see any zombie corpses in his line of sight.

The mine was dark and damp, with the walls covered in mutated moss and water stains.

Occasionally, the sound of dripping water could be heard, echoing in the quiet, dark cave, adding to the eeriness.

The cave was very dark, except for the light coming in from the entrance; it got darker the further you went in.

Jiang Wu gripped the alligator turtle battle blade tightly, cautiously observing his surroundings.

His eyes have evolved several times, and now his ability to see in the dark is no different from that in the daytime.

Furthermore, his hearing has also improved significantly, making him very aware of even the slightest noises.

To Jiang Wu's surprise, he did not notice the presence of any creatures inside the cave.

The two went deeper and deeper into the cave, where there was no light at all.

Moreover, all was quiet except for the faint sounds made by the two people moving around.

Then there's the sound of water droplets falling from time to time.

Jiang Wu was a little curious. There were so many zombies outside, so why were there none in the cave?

This is a bit unscientific.

Jiang Wu didn't know how long he had walked, but he estimated that he had walked at least ten kilometers inside the mine!

Just then, Jiang Wu suddenly stopped, his gaze drawn to a pile of white things on the ground.

He crouched down and took a closer look, discovering that they were many large, withered bones, which appeared to be human.

Jiang Wu picked one up; it felt heavy in his hand and was very large, like a thigh bone.

He examined it closely; there wasn't a single bit of flesh on it, but instead many tiny scratches, as if it had been gnawed on by something.

Jiang Wu was startled. He subconsciously gestured to the length of the thigh bone in his hand. This gesture made his expression instantly turn serious. This was very likely a T2 thigh bone!

Only a T2 body type would have such a large human thigh bone!

There are actually mutated beasts in this mine that can devour a T2 beast down to just some of its hardest thigh bones!

Jiang Wu frowned as he looked around. He found quite a few femurs, but no skull.

Logically speaking, since the femur and pelvis are both intact, the skull should also be intact.

But it's not here!

The skull was taken away?

Jiang Wu then carefully examined the thigh bone and pelvis he had found.

The dense bite marks on the surface indicate that the mutated beasts in the mine are not very large, but their numbers must be astonishing!

This reminded Jiang Wu of the legendary army ants and piranhas, terrifying creatures that rely on sheer numbers to devour their massive prey.

Thinking about this, Jiang Wu felt a chill run down his spine. He wasn't afraid of big ones now, but he was more afraid of these smaller ones in large numbers.

After all, this kind of opponent is hard to guard against, and if you're not careful, you might get bitten a few times.

Mi Qingying then said softly, "This must have been done by mutated rats. Their teeth are indestructible and can even bite through steel. However, they are not very interested in humans and prefer to eat zombies."

Jiang Wu frowned and asked, "Are there many of these mutated rats here?"

Mi Qingying shook her head and said, "I don't know how many there are in total. Anyway, although we've seen them many times, the number isn't that many."

Jiang Wu asked thoughtfully, "Are you sure these mutated rats aren't very interested in humans?"

Mi Qingying nodded and said seriously, "I'm sure! I've seen these mutated rats many times, and I've never seen them attack humans. Instead, they always attack zombies."

Jiang Wu looked deeper into the mine and said with a solemn expression, "But this could very well be the lair of the mutated rats. It's too dangerous ahead. You go out the way you came first, and I'll go in and take another look."

With the system's notification, the fact that he had already exchanged for the God-level Danger Foresight skill, and his own strength, along with his level three robe and level three snakeskin inner armor, Jiang Wu was certain that he would be safe.

Comic Qingying is different.

If we were to encounter a massive number of mutated rats that could devour T2 down to just the hardest bones, we'd probably be eaten to the bone.

Mi Qingying stubbornly shook her head and said with a firm gaze, "I'm not afraid of death. If we really encounter a monster that you can't handle, I can help you draw its fire."

Jiang Wu was slightly taken aback and turned his head to look at Mi Qingying.

Mi Qingying looked directly into Jiang Wu's eyes and continued earnestly, "You are the leader of a powerful force; you are more useful alive."

Jiang Wu looked at Mi Qingying for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

Looking at Mi Qingying's determined face, Jiang Wu calmly said, "Don't worry, I'm more capable than you think. When it's time to run, you must run."

After that, Jiang Wu said nothing more.

The two continued onward, their steps becoming increasingly cautious.

The passageways inside the mine were like a maze, winding and turning.

Suddenly, the silence in the mine was broken by a deep, monstrous roar. The sound wasn't very loud, but it was extremely deep and powerful, even sending a chill down Jiang Wu's spine.

Jiang Wu felt a chill run down his spine. He knew very well that this was the divine-level danger prediction ability he had exchanged for taking effect.

He was already a level three evolved being, yet he felt a chill run down his spine from that roar.

This power could absolutely not be caused by a level one or level two evolved beast!

There should be at least a level 3 or higher evolved beast in this mine!

This discovery made Jiang Wu's expression turn serious.
