Xi Xi drew the sickle from her waist and used its hook to pry open the edge of the manhole cover. The water that had been accumulating for a long time surged down like a flood bursting its banks, and a damp, musty smell wafted out.

The three quickly covered their mouths and noses, took a few steps back, and waited until the water dried up before looking down into the well.

What came into view was an endless darkness, like an unfathomable black hole, which aroused fear in people.

Seeing this, Sallyman drew her longsword and probed into the depths of the black hole. However, no matter how far the sword stretched, it could not reach the bottom and could not detect anything.

After thinking for a moment, Xi Xi turned back and took out the Magic Retractable Ladder she had just acquired that day, placing it at the entrance of the cave.

The telescopic ladder immediately connected with Xi Xi's consciousness and began to extend and deform. After a while, Xi Xi finally heard a clear echo of it touching the ground from below.

After a brief discussion, the three immediately got to work. Without hesitation, Xi Xi, with a radiant lollipop in her mouth, stepped onto the descending vertical staircase.

Chu Zhiqin and Shaliman quickly used the vehicle's accompanying talisman to put the vehicle away. Then, the two followed closely behind Xi Xi, slowly climbing down the vertical ladder step by step.

The oppressive darkness surrounding them made the climb seem exceptionally long. Fortunately, the Radiant Lollipop continued to emit a soft glow, barely illuminating the path beneath their feet.

Using this dim light, Xi Xi carefully observed the terrain beneath her feet. As she gradually made out her surroundings, a sudden tremor ran through her...

As soon as Xi Xi's feet touched the ground, she quickly looked around.

Sure enough, what appeared before her was a dark, deep sewer filled with a damp smell!

The passage under the manhole cover is exceptionally narrow and winding, allowing only one person to pass at a time. It is surrounded by damp stone walls, and occasionally water droplets fall, making a crisp sound that echoes endlessly in this silent space.

Xi Xi moved slowly to the side, with Chu Zhiqin and Shaliman following closely behind. They carefully searched for a place to stand, walked a short distance along the stone wall, and finally came to a relatively spacious area.

Chu Zhiqin, who had been on edge the whole time, couldn't help but gasp for breath. She exclaimed in surprise, "There's actually a sewer here?!" Her words echoed like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating a buzzing sound throughout the entire sewer.

Xi Xi gestured for silence to the two people behind her, and Chu Zhiqin quickly covered her mouth. Shaliman was more composed than expected. She silently looked around, her eyes full of inquiry.

Xi Xi paced around and observed for a while, discovering that the sewer was made up of pipes and water of varying widths. Some parts were so narrow that only one person could pass by bending over, while others were wide enough for small boats to pass through.

These pipes are mostly made of solid stone or concrete, and after years of erosion, their surfaces are covered with a layer of slippery moss and mold, emitting a musty smell.

The sewer water flows slowly like a stream, converging into small pools over a wide area.

These waterways carry a lot of filth and waste, and occasionally you can see floating garbage and debris. Strangely, apart from a rotten and musty smell, there is no particularly nauseating stench.

Suddenly, a red light shot out from not far away, rushing towards Xi Xi at an astonishing speed.

Just then, Xi Xi reacted extremely quickly. She flashed and simultaneously drew a multi-bladed scythe from her waist with one hand.

A pair of bright red dots appeared before her eyes, and Xi Xi finally realized that the attacking creature was a cave rat monster.

The rat monster looked very familiar; its tail was incomplete, and its eyes flashed with vengeful fury, as if it had recognized this former "enemy" before she did.

Xi Xi was somewhat surprised. Had the hatred not dissipated yet? She had thought it would be like in a normal RPG game, where the monster would lose its memory after a certain distance was created.

The rat monster in front of us moved with extraordinary agility, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

It let out a sharp, piercing squeak as it turned and scurried back to the corner with lightning speed. Xi Xi looked closely and was surprised to find a mouse nest hidden there.

At the same time, Chu Zhiqin and Shaliman also noticed the unusual commotion on Xi Xi's side, and the two of them took steps without hesitation. "Be careful!" Xi Xi could not care about anything else and could only shout loudly to warn them.

Before the words were finished, a dense rustling sound came from the rat hole, which made one's scalp tingle.

Sallyman was startled. She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, her palms slightly sweaty, and scanned her surroundings warily, her whole body tense, ready to face an enemy attack at any moment.

Sure enough, not long after, a group of ferocious-looking rat monsters of various shapes surged out all at once.

Some of these rats were fat and bloated, strong and powerful, while others were thin and agile, moving with incredible speed. But without exception, they all bared their teeth, their sharp claws clawing wildly in the air, their scarlet eyes revealing endless greed and deep hostility.

With a flick of her wrist, Sallyman swung the Cold Edge Sword in a rapid circle, drawing a dazzling silver-white halo. In an instant, silver particles burst forth from the sword, scattering in all directions.

The rat monsters, which had been so aggressive, paused and slowed down upon contact with the silver particles of light.

Is this the effect of Agility-2?! Seeing this, Xi Xi sighed inwardly, but did not show any surprise on her face.
