Chapter 106 If You Are a Man, Go to the 100th Floor 12

Deep inside the last spider's nest, the darkness was so thick that water could almost be squeezed out of it.

Ye Xiaoxuan's boots made an uncomfortable sticky sound as they stepped on the slippery fungus blanket. The walls of the nest were covered with spider silk, which was wriggling slightly like some kind of living thing, and occasionally half-melted corpses could be seen embedded in them - those were the soldiers dragged back by the spiders as food.

“How disgusting…”

Fighting back her nausea, she continued to move deeper.

Suddenly, a flash of golden light pierced into the field of vision.

What she saw made her pupils shrink and she was greatly shocked - it was a broken golden mask.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is the same piece that Director Wang gave them before.

It was entangled in spider silk and hung in the center of the lair, like some strange trophy. The patterns on the mask were ancient and mysterious, and the remaining half of the face seemed to be smiling, and there seemed to be some kind of will in the empty eye sockets.

Ye Xiaoxuan's fingertips just touched the mask——

"boom!!!"

The entire nest suddenly trembled violently! Countless spiders emerged from the shadows, their compound eyes flashing with crazy purple light. They were not coming for her, but... running for their lives?

The next second, she understood the reason.

The ground is collapsing.

A huge black hole opened up at the bottom of the lair, and the golden mask burst into a dazzling light, wrapping her whole body in it.

——The transmission is about to begin!

Reality always catches us off guard. I have to leave before I can say goodbye to that group of people. But it doesn’t matter whether I say goodbye or not, because they probably don’t remember me anyway.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether I say goodbye or not..." She pulled the corner of her mouth in self-mockery, "They probably don't remember me anyway."

Thinking of the experiences of the past few days - Ye Qing's sacrifice, Tian Meng's collapse, Xu Kai's last look - Ye Xiaoxuan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

A beam of light descended from the sky. Looking at the dazzling white light, a girl on the city wall hundreds of kilometers away raised her head, looked at the beam of white light, and murmured to herself: "Goodbye, Commander."

When she opened her eyes again, what Ye Xiaoxuan saw was a white temple.

Where is this...?

Coming to a strange place again, Ye Xiaoxuan rubbed her eyes and looked around vigilantly.

The walls of the temple are engraved with intricate runes, and the dome is so high that it seems to reach the sky.

"Wait... this style..."

She suddenly realized that she was stuck between the 50th and 51st floors!

"Transition zone?!" she muttered to herself, and at the same time forced a bitter smile, "I really have no other choice now..."

When she was on the 28th floor, she could at least think of a strategy to pass the level, but this was completely unknown territory.

Looking at the environment and style here, Ye Xiaoxuan verified it several times and finally confirmed that she was stuck between the 50th and 51st floors this time.

My heart was completely broken.

I don’t know how long it took, so long that Ye Xiaoxuan began to get impatient, then another white light suddenly flashed.

"Again?!" Subconsciously, Ye Xiaoxuan quickly assumed a fighting stance.

But when the light faded, a figure appeared before her. The figure before her was beyond her belief.

"Zhou Mingyuan?!"

"Is it you?"

Ye Xiaoxuan's voice was not without shock.

On the other side, Zhou Mingyuan was equally incredulous. His first reaction was to be stunned, and then he burst into ecstatic laughter: "Hahaha, Xiaoye, it's you!"

Across from him, he smiled innocently, then suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head sharply to the empty space on his left, and smiled exaggeratedly:

"My friends, I have arrived at the next level safely. Thank you for your concern. If you like it, please click on the little heart or send a big rocket. My friends, double-click 666!"

Ye Xiaoxuan turned around upon hearing the sound and saw...

Uh... this exaggerated expression, exaggerated body language, and exaggerated atmosphere.

"What are you doing?" Ye Xiaoxuan asked.

Zhou Mingyuan: ...

The air froze for a second.

Zhou Mingyuan slowly turned his head, the smile on his face gradually stiffened, and finally turned into a dry laugh.

After realizing what I had just done, I was so embarrassed that I didn’t know what to say. Then I said, “Hahaha, hahaha, sorry, I got used to it and can’t change it.”

He smiled innocently at first, but then he became alert, took a step back, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Ye? You...are you really Xiao Ye? Not someone else?"

Ye Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes, feeling speechless. She thought her life was miserable enough after entering the twenty-eighth level of the infinite flow world, but she didn't expect that the situation on Zhou Mingyuan's side seemed even worse.

Yes, from the perspective of the game progress, if the first level they entered the tower at is highly correlated with the level where they were stuck, I entered the 28th floor because I was stuck on the 28th floor, and Lao Zhou entered the fifth floor because he was stuck on the fifth floor. To climb here, he must have suffered more than me.

And based on her current understanding of the game, it is not necessarily the case that the lower the level, the easier it is.

Judging from her previous experiences, what she experienced after entering the tower was highly related to the game plot outside the tower.

According to Ye Xiaoxuan's memory, the game after the 20th floor is extremely difficult, and the plot before the 20th floor also contains all five poisons.

Ye Xiaoxuan even remembered that there was a level of plot before that was about a hodgepodge of various elements, pseudo-humans, anthropomorphisms, Cthulhu, cat girls, humans, orcs, deep divers, Irish, price lists, magical girls... and so on. The elements that appeared in the whole story were longer than her life.

So, looking at Zhou Mingyuan's tattered armor, he thought that this guy must have suffered a lot down there, so he simply forgave him, rolled his eyes, and said, "Who else could it be if not me?"

Who knew that the next moment, after hearing this, Zhou Mingyuan patted his chest and his expression changed instantly.

When fellow villagers met, their eyes were filled with tears. Zhou Mingyuan asked uncertainly:

"Really? Are you really Xiaoye?"

Ye Xiaoxuan was a little speechless, but still answered him: "Yes, I am Ye Xiaoxuan. If you continue like this, Lao Zhou, I will doubt whether you are a human being."

After saying this, Lao Zhou immediately wiped away his tears. Seeing him like this, Ye Xiaoxuan also spoke:

"It seems you've suffered a lot before this."

Zhou Mingyuan finally spoke up: "It's nothing, it's just that when I was down there before, I encountered an illusion where you confessed your love to me and wanted to take my virginity. I was really scared at the time, but luckily I ran fast."

As Zhou Mingyuan spoke, he was crying quietly. Ye Xiaoxuan looked at him like this, imagined the scene he had encountered before, and couldn't help but shudder.

Wow~ the picture is so beautiful that I can’t imagine it.

For a moment, Ye Xiaoxuan decided not to ask for details anymore in her life.
