Xi Xi reached into the golden lucky bag and quickly checked it. The important items, such as water, food, talismans, and medicine for cleaning wounds, were all intact.

These were the most essential items that Xi Xi considered necessary, so she prioritized putting them into the lucky bag when packing her luggage.

Xi Xi breathed a brief sigh of relief and then continued to call out to Aura.

The storage rules for the Golden Lucky Bag and the Treasure Chest are different. The Lucky Bag has a fixed space inside, about the size of a storage cabinet.

Although the lucky bag has a small capacity and the shape and size of the items cannot be ignored, as long as it is within the limited capacity, it can fit any number of items.

Xi Xi tidied up the inside of the lucky bag, and then crammed the thin skateboard inside.

She then began searching for her lost cloak and backpack.

"Aura—" Xi Xi shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice echoing in the empty cave before quickly disappearing into the boundless silence.

She carefully observed the surrounding terrain, trying to catch any possible clues or signs of danger.

At the same time, Xi Xi opened the light screen map, which was completely dark except for her and the little white duck's light spots. Xi Xi couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

The terrain of this cave is exceptionally steep, resembling a giant funnel that extends downwards. A slight misstep could lead to a fall.

Left with no other choice, Xi Xi turned to the side, pressed herself against the cold rock wall, and slowly moved downwards, little by little.

A pebble she accidentally kicked rolled away like a wild horse into the unfathomable depths. Xi Xi guessed that Aura and her backpack must have fallen into the lower ground as well, just like the pebble.

The little white duck clung tightly to Xi Xi's shoulder, seemingly terrified. It would tremble and quack at the slightest sound of sand or gravel rolling.

Xi Xi reached out and stroked its little head, gently comforting it.

She didn't reveal her inner unease; in fact, Xi Xi herself was very anxious and had no idea what to expect.

She remained silent as she descended, glancing occasionally at the light screen map beside her.

The surroundings were swallowed by endless darkness, as if even time itself had been frozen by this deep gloom.

Xi Xi carefully stepped on the soft sand, testing the ground for stability with each step.

The light-blading scythe in her hand emitted a faint glow, struggling to carve out a narrow path of light ahead, barely illuminating a small area around her.

The air was damp, and occasionally you could hear water droplets falling from above, making a crisp, lonely echo.

Suddenly, an unusual light caught their eye. The light did not come from the light blade scythe, but rather emanated from a crack in the cave wall.

Xi Xi's heart involuntarily quickened, and she slowed her steps, gradually approaching the strange light.

As Xi Xi drew closer, the light became increasingly clear and bright.

When she got closer to the rock wall, she was surprised to find that it was a piece of ore embedded in the rock!

The ore emitted a faint blue glow, as clear as a twinkling star in the night sky.

The surface of the ore is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the blurry outline of the surrounding environment, which inexplicably adds a touch of mystery.

Just then, Xi Xi suddenly remembered the stone pickaxe she had made on the workbench earlier. She clearly remembered that the item description at the time was "can be used to mine ore".

Unfortunately, Xi Xi didn't bring the pickaxe with her; it was stored in the vehicle's accessory bag along with the van.

Xi Xi reached out and gently touched the mineral. A cool and refreshing energy flowed from her fingertips into her body, giving her an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility.

She carefully examined the combination of the ore and the surrounding rocks, then tentatively raised her light-blade scythe and slashed fiercely at the edge of the ore.

With a soft "bang," tiny sparks flew between the light-bladed scythe and the sandstone.

"It looks promising!" Xi Xi thought to herself with delight. She reconfirmed the best mining location, gripped the sickle tightly with both hands, and adjusted her posture.

Then, carefully control the force and frequency of the taps to ensure that each tap lands precisely on the target.

As time went by, the rocks around the ore began to loosen, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Xi Xi's forehead.

Eventually, the bond between the ore and the rock became increasingly fragile.

She took a deep breath, gathered all her strength, and with a crisp "crack," the ore finally broke off from the rock wall.

The ore, having lost its support, tumbled rapidly down the steep slope, making a series of crackling sounds.

Seeing this, Xi Xi didn't dare to delay at all. She quickly took a step, balanced her body, and ran towards the rolling ore.

The moment the ore fell into her hand, Xi Xi immediately felt its heavy weight.

Now, Xi Xi loved the laser blade scythe even more. She never imagined it could not only split rocks and chop wood, but also successfully mine even the hardest ores!

Congratulations on obtaining 1 Azure Stone!

[Item Hint: A type of underground mineral that can be used to cultivate Valhalla fungus.]

When the name "Valium Stone" was mentioned, Xi Xi felt unfamiliar with it, but she had indeed heard of the term "Valium Fungus".

A hint of surprise flashed quickly in Xi Xi's eyes.

If my memory serves me right, the recipes listed in the book "Dongli: A Beginner's Cookbook" do indeed include a unique ingredient called Valerian.

As for the specific ingredients used to make that particular food, Xi Xi couldn't recall for a moment, but she was very certain that the book did describe such a mushroom.

There was simply no room left in the golden lucky bag, so Xi Xi could only hold the azure stone tightly and continue walking down. Fortunately, the azure stone could glow, and although it wasn't very strong, it made the surrounding scenery much brighter.

Just as Xi Xi was concentrating on moving forward, an unusual black shadow suddenly flashed past her eyes.

The dark figure moved with incredible speed, like a ghost darting through the darkness, disappearing in an instant and leaving only a chilling aftertaste.

Xi Xi's heart tightened suddenly, and even the light emanating from the azure stone she held in her hand began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

She hurriedly swung her light-blading scythe, sweeping its light rapidly forward, attempting to catch any trace of the mysterious black shadow.

However, apart from the endless darkness, nothing else was discovered.

Xi Xi had no choice but to stand still and observe the situation.

She kept her eyes on the map on the light screen while observing what lay ahead.
