Before Yu Chen came, Yujia Village was often attacked by sea monsters. When they built houses, they would specially use the strongest materials to build basements so that they would have a place to stay when danger came.

There were only three people in the basement at that time. Under the dim candlelight, Li Cong was tied tightly with a thick rope, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth to prevent him from shouting.

Liu Xitu had a cut on his forehead and blood covered most of his face. Combined with his ferocious expression, he looked like a desperate criminal.

Er Yang's left hand was broken, and the severe pain made him dazed. His face turned pale due to the loss of blood, and the coarse cloth clothes he was wearing were stained with dark blood and dirt, making it look extremely dirty.

His lips were pale, his black hair was messy, and he was leaning in the corner, curled up in a ball. This boy, who was only fifteen years old, was already dying.

Liu Xitu glanced at Er Yang and shouted in a rough voice, "Is he dead? If not, make a sound."

Er Yang struggled to open his heavy eyes and responded weakly, "Brother Liu...it hurts...wu..."

He cried out in pain and stretched out his hand to Liu Xitu. To him, Liu Xitu was his life-saving straw.

Liu Xitu's eyes were struggling. He was not an indecisive person. He knew that the two Yangs were just a burden to him. According to his temper, he would have abandoned them long ago.

But when he met Er Yang's hopeful eyes, the little bit of conscience he had left tortured him, making it impossible for him to make a decision.

Lin Anqu came over carrying Mu Mu and casually threw him to the ground. He glanced at Er Yang and said ruthlessly, "If he's dead, throw him out. The stinking corpse will attract the attention of monsters."

Er Yang was frightened by his words. He tried to cheer himself up, stood up, and pleaded timidly, "I am still alive, please, sir... please don't throw me out!"

When he thought of the horrible monsters outside, his body trembled violently, and his already bloodless face became even paler.

As a person from the era of interstellar equality, Lin Anqu felt uncomfortable with Er Yang's servile attitude. He simply ignored Er Yang, squatted down, lifted the sack covering Mu Mu's upper body, and looked at him.

Liu Xitu curled his fingers and turned to ask Lin Anqu, "Has Su Hanxia been found yet?"

Lin Anqu saw through his thoughts at a glance and said, "Don't even think about it. Su Hanxia's ability isn't healing. She can't save him."

"But..." He changed the subject and looked at Liu Xitu with a half-smile, "Shouldn't the skill you copied include healing? Give it to him."

In the dungeon, the system will not give any help to the player. The player can only learn abilities through his own strength and master them. Only in this way can he survive.

Liu Xitu did gain the ability to copy skills in a certain world, but each copied skill could only be used once. He looked at the weak Er Yang hesitantly.

The glimmer of desire for survival in Er Yang's eyes was so dazzling that Liu Xitu seemed to be scalded. He lowered his head in embarrassment and sat back silently.

Seeing this, Lin Anqu curled up his lips in a sarcastic smile.

Ignoring the two people, Lin Anqu continued to examine Mu Miao.

Since he can be rated as a god-level NPC by the system, he must have some differences from ordinary people. Lin Anqu frowned in thought, looking at Mu Mu's whole body.

This NPC was undoubtedly the most beautiful one he had ever seen. He had a small face and beautiful features that blurred the boundaries of gender. Even dust on his face could not diminish his beauty.

It was as if an elusive celestial being suddenly appeared before his eyes, with a bit more of the earthly air that one would expect from a worldly being.

He pinched Mu Mu's soft wrist with two fingers and shook it in the air. Lin Anqu couldn't help but wonder, it couldn't be that this little NPC was too good-looking, so the system judged him to be god-level.

Is the system also obsessed with looks?

Lin Anqu deeply doubted this.

Li Cong, lying on the ground, opened his eyes wide in shock when he saw the familiar face, his heart beating rapidly.

That's Mu Mu! Mu Mu is not dead!

He struggled excitedly, turning his head to look at Lin Anqu who was touching Mu Mu, and was extremely angry. However, the cloth blocking his mouth could only make him make meaningless sounds, "Mmm! Mmm..."

Bastard, you bastard! Don't touch Mu Mu's face with your dirty hands!

Li Cong cursed in his heart and wished he could tear Lin Anqu's hand off.

His abnormal behavior attracted Lin Anqu's attention. Seeing the anger in his eyes, Lin Anqu raised his eyebrows and looked between him and Mu Miao.

Lin Anqu looked down at Li Cong from above, "I can let you go, but don't cause me any trouble. Nod if you understand."

Li Cong glared at him in humiliation, and finally nodded randomly with his eyes closed.

After a while, Li Cong regained his freedom, but Mu Mu's thin body was tied with thick ropes, and the exposed fair skin was covered with red marks, which looked shocking.

That rope was the one originally used to tie up Li Cong. Li Cong watched helplessly as Lin Anqu untied the rope on him and walked straight towards Mu Mu to tie him up.

Not surprisingly, Li Cong started fighting with Lin Anqu again, but was easily suppressed by the other party.

Li Cong squatted beside Mu Mu with a bruised face, not leaving his side. When he saw the marks on his body caused by the rope, he felt extremely distressed.

Mu Mu's skin was so tender, how could he be tied up with such a rough rope? Li Cong looked at Lin Anqu, who was fiddling with his ring, with hatred. If looks could kill, Lin Anqu would have been cut into pieces by him long ago.

Even in his coma, Mu Miao could feel a dull pain in his neck. After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness gradually returned to normal. His long eyelashes trembled as he slowly opened his eyes.

The scene before him was blurry. Someone was whispering something in his ear, but he couldn't hear it clearly. He could only frown and mutter softly, "Dizzy... I want to vomit..."

Li Cong jumped up excitedly when he saw Mu Mu wake up, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet. But when he heard Mu Mu's words, he immediately panicked, "Why are you dizzy? Do you have a fever?"

He immediately placed his big hand on Mu Mu's forehead. The skin under his hand was cool, smooth and delicate, and it felt so good that Li Cong couldn't help but touch it more.

As soon as Li Cong lowered his head, he met Mu Mu's puzzled eyes. His dark green pupils reflected his expression at the moment. Li Cong's face flushed, and his head was steaming. He quickly withdrew his hand and put it in his arms.

He shyly explained his actions, "I, I just wanted to see if you had a fever."

Although they are all boys, Li Cong feels that touching Mu Mu would be a very offensive thing.

Mu Miao felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, "...Who are you?"

"You don't remember me?!" Li Cong was shocked and pointed at his nose. "I, hey, I'm Li Cong. We just met last night."

Mu Mu remembered, "It's you, your candle... huh? Why did you tie me up?"

Only then did he realize that he could not move, and his accusing gaze immediately turned to Li Cong, who was closest to him.

He was already very handsome, and even when he frowned or pouted angrily, he was still so beautiful that it made people dazed. Li Cong stared at him and forgot to speak.

Mu Mu twisted and turned like a clumsy little snake, trying to break free from the rope, but it was of no use except making herself dirty and her clothes even more messy.

Mu Miao was angry, and stared at Li Cong with watery eyes, thinking he was ferocious. "You big bad guy! I hate you the most!"

Li Cong was brought back to his senses by this scolding.

"It's not me!" Li Cong felt very wronged to bear this blame. Looking at Lin Anqu who had no intention of coming to explain, he immediately distanced himself from the matter. "It was Lin Anqu. He was the one who arrested you and tied you up. He was the one who did all these bad things!"

Lin Anqu glanced at him coldly.

Just when Li Cong was about to say bad things about him in front of Mu Miao, Lin Anqu took a step forward with his long legs, forcibly separated the two of them, stood in the middle, and lifted Mu Miao up with one hand.

Li Cong was surprised and reached out to stop him, "What are you going to do?"

The silvery-white little robot jumped from Lin Anqu's shoulder to Li Cong. The little guy, which was only a few centimeters long, instantly increased its weight by thousands of times.

With a loud thump, Li Cong was pinned to the ground by the robot, wailing. He yelled at Lin Anqu, "Don't touch him! Come to me if you have anything to say, Lin Anqu!"

Lin Anqu winked at Liu Xitu, and Liu Xitu tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and stuffed it into his mouth.

Liu Xitu: "You owe me a favor. Please help me find Su Hanxia."

"Tsk." Lin Anqu was speechless. "I've told you hundreds of times, Su Hanxia's abilities have nothing to do with healing. She can't save your little follower."

Liu Xitu said word by word, stubbornly, "I don't care."

Okay, Lin Anqu understood. Liu Xitu was reluctant to use his healing skills on Er Yang, and was deceiving himself into thinking that Su Hanxia had the ability to save Er Yang.

In this way, if Er Yang died, he would feel at ease to attribute his death to Su Hanxia, ​​in order to comfort his pitiful guilt.

But what does this have to do with him?

Lin Anqu gave up on himself and said, "Then take back your tattered clothes, let him shout, and we will die together."

Ask him to catch Su Hanxia? What a joke. Even if he goes to face that lunatic, he will get skinned alive.

Liu Xitu: “…You!”

Lin Anqu simply ignored him.

Mu Miao worriedly called out to Li Cong who was lying on the ground, "Li Cong..."

Lin Anqu lifted his chin frivolously, "He's fine, but you are."

Mu Mu's tail turned into legs, and the overall length was shortened a lot. The feeling of his feet hanging in the air made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but shake twice in the air.

The blood on Lin Anqu's face had not been cleaned yet, and he looked fierce and menacing, far from the refined young man he appeared to be when they first met.

This guy looks very fierce. Will you hit him?

Mu Mu thought fearfully, he didn't even dare to meet his gaze, lowering his furry head and pretending to be interested in the ground.

"Oh."

Lin Anqu chuckled softly, the sound was not loud, but it was particularly clear in this quiet basement.

Lin Anqu scolded him mercilessly, "What a coward."

"I, I'm not a coward!" Mu Mu was provoked. He straightened his back, put on his cute little face, and said fiercely, "Believe it or not, I will bite you! I am very powerful. In the sea, no one dares to claim to be the boss when I say I am second! If you dare to do this to me, I will make you pay for it!"

Mu Mu searched his mind for all kinds of harsh words, all to use on Lin Anqu.

He looks so adorable when he's bluffing. He doesn't look like a fish, but more like a cute and arrogant cat, holding up his pink paw pads, thinking he's very ferocious, but in fact, he's just so cute that it makes people's hearts tremble.

Lin Anqu pinched his face and actually saw the two sharp teeth in his mouth. He smiled and said, "Which big boss in the sea would let you climb over his head? You little thing, you may not be strong, but you have big ambitions."

Mu Miao was angry and turned her head away, ignoring him.

"In that case." Lin Anqu grabbed his neck with one hand and untied the ropes on him with the other. "Come out with me and let me see your strength."

He looked at Liu Xitu and Li Cong, "You two should go too."

Liu Xitu frowned, "You still want to go out?"

Lin Anqu asked in return: "Can we complete the mission without going out?"

"But we don't even know what the specific mission is!"

"Who said they didn't know?" Lin Anqu tied the rope around his and Mu Miao's hands and glanced at the exit. "The mission has always been with us."

Under Liu Xitu's puzzled gaze, Lin Anqu slowly said, "Find Wen Fansheng, the key is the box in his hand."
