Lin Yiran remained silent, because the surroundings were completely dark, so dark that not a single ray of light could be seen. She was like a small animal trapped in complete darkness, with no ability to explore her surroundings.

Because she doesn't have night vision like animals.

The darkness was unusual; why was there no light at all? What kind of place was this? Several questions popped into Lin Yiran's mind, accompanied by a sense of tension.

It's normal for people to feel fear when they're in the dark.

But when you are truly in the dark, the pitch blackness amplifies your inner fears, and your brain's editing function will involuntarily kick in, making you fantasize about everything around you.

Will anyone be there?

or?

What else?

I don't know if it's just Lin Yiran's imagination.

She felt something was approaching her in the darkness, making rustling sounds. The sounds were very faint and hard to hear, but Lin Yiran keenly noticed them.

It sounded like... breathing? Lin Yiran listened intently, and then she heard the whooshing sound of fists! Judging from the sound, it seemed to be an attack aimed at the back of her neck; someone was attacking her from behind! That was Lin Yiran's conclusion.

Then Lin Yiran turned around in a panic, but because of the darkness, she couldn't see the person's figure at all, and she didn't even know if that thing was a person!

But then the thing attacked again! This time it was very decisive, directly targeting Lin Yiran's arm. Lin Yiran couldn't dodge in time, and her right arm was still restrained by the thing. What was that feeling? Lin Yiran hurriedly swung her knife at her right arm, and then the thing released her arm.

Although she hadn't hurt the thing, Lin still sensed that the person opposite her was a person, a living person. The hand gripping her arm was icy cold, with calluses on the fingertips.

That was a person! Someone taller than her, incredibly strong, and exceptionally agile! Lin Yiran instinctively guessed that the person opposite her was a man!

But why did they have to attack her?

"Who are you...?...Ugh!" Lin Yiran was about to speak when the dark figure suddenly pounced on her and slammed her to the ground. One of his cold hands was wrapped around her waist, while the other tightly covered her mouth, as if to prevent her from making any sound, or as if to suffocate her!

Lin Yiran clung tightly to that arm with both hands, but found that she couldn't move it at all!

Then she raised her elbow and rammed it into the man's chest.

"Don't make a sound!!" Then came the man's tense and suppressed voice.

He really is a man!

Lin Yiran's eyes widened, and she was about to slap the man's hand away when her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that something was coming, and there was that rustling sound, like...?

Like?

It sounded like snakes or insects crawling!

There were other things here! Lin Yiran subconsciously noticed this and then stopped moving.

However, the hand was covering her nose tightly, and she really couldn't breathe.

Lin Yiran took a few deep breaths and found that... her consciousness was a little blurry.

Knowing she was about to suffocate, Lin Yiran still desperately tried to pry the person's hand away, but the person thought she was trying to speak, so they held on even tighter.

Helpless, Lin Yiran reached out and pinched the man's arm, then patted his arm to signal him to loosen his grip, as she was almost out of breath.

Fearing the other person wouldn't believe her, she even traced a line on the man's arm with her finger, as if trying to write something on it to let him know. But the man behind her suddenly kicked her away!

That's right, it was kicked out directly!

"Damn it!" Lin Yiran was stunned for a moment, then got up from the ground and was about to go find that person to settle the score when a beam of light shone from the direction where she had just fallen.

The man's flashlight shone directly on Lin Yiran's face, causing her to squint instinctively. The light wasn't glaring, though. She also heard the man ask, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

His voice was cool and cold, but without malice. It was as if she were a complete stranger, and he was just going through the motions.

He seemed completely unconcerned about Lin Yiran's identity.

Lin Yiran got excited too: "And who are you? Didn't your mother tell you that when you ask someone's name, you should greet them first and then introduce yourself?"

Perhaps speechless, the man didn't reply. Instead, he used the flashlight in his hand to shine it around in the darkness. After finding nothing unusual, he put the flashlight down.

Then.

He pulled out a dagger: "Tell me your identity, how you got in, and what your mental strength level is. The last one is very important. You don't have to answer the first two."

Lin Yiran: "I don't know!" Then she turned around and left, preparing to return the way she came.

The man was clearly furious. He let out a mocking snort and a light hum, then walked away in the opposite direction with the dagger in his hand.

Lin and I walked in the opposite direction.

However, as he left, he added, "I advise you, never use your mental power here, or you'll die a horrible death!" This seemingly casual remark made Lin Yiran stop in her tracks. As far as she knew, there was no place where mental power couldn't be used.

That's the place closest to the mutated plant. As we all know, mutated plants absorb people's spiritual energy.

Where is she now?

Are there mutant plants here?

She stopped and then decisively followed the man's figure, eventually starting to chat with him as they walked side by side.

"Where is this place? Why are you going in the opposite direction? I just fell from over there. It should be easier to get out from there."

Then she pointed to the spot behind her where she had just fallen.

The man had a built-in light on his wrist. The light was made of some unknown material and could illuminate an area of ​​nearly ten meters around him. With this light, Lin Yiran could clearly see what the man looked like.

I won't describe what he looks like, but in short, he's a very, very handsome man. However, Lin Yiran isn't interested in men at the moment, so she didn't pay much attention to his appearance. All she was thinking about was how to escape this place.

Because apart from the light emanating from the man's body lamp, the rest of the place was still completely dark, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
