Yu Xiangnan's hand rubbed against the pillar.
Her gaze fell once again on the direction indicated by the quicksand illusion's gesture. After some searching, she finally discovered a spot where a stone was slightly loose, and it seemed that a gentle press would trigger a hidden mechanism.
He decisively pressed down on the stone.
With a soft "click," the mechanism was successfully triggered!
The whirlpool of quicksand gradually slowed down and eventually stopped spinning.
Professor Zhang was choked by the rising dust and coughed violently, taking several coughs before he could barely recover.
After confirming that there was no danger, Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that her hands were already gripping the pillar tightly due to excessive force, and her knuckles were white.
She loosened her grip, and with a touch of gratitude, thanked Yu Xiangnan.
At this moment, the player who had fled long ago, upon hearing the sound of the mechanism turning, felt a surge of intense curiosity and unease, and inexplicably turned back to investigate.
The sight before him astonished him, his eyes widening in surprise.
Yu Xiangnan and the other two are all still safe and sound?!
Yu Xiangnan, in particular, remained calm and composed, radiating an enigmatic calmness.
Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.
He's sticking with these NPCs!
Yu Xiangnan saw the player who had run back, but before he could speak, a sharp "sizzling" sound suddenly rang out.
She turned her head and her pupils instantly contracted.
In an instant, the space to his left seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a huge hole appeared out of thin air, with its edges constantly flashing with an eerie light.
Is it a skill?
No, the energy fluctuations around the cave are far stronger than ordinary skills!
Within the void, blinding light flickered wildly, making it impossible to look directly at it.
A powerful and terrifying suction force rushed towards him. Yu Xiangnan had no time to struggle and was instantly swallowed by the suction force, tumbling wildly in the endless light and darkness!
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Xiangnan finally felt himself land on the ground.
But this fall was quite severe. With a "thud," she landed heavily on her bottom, causing her face to contort in pain, and her bottom felt like it was on fire.
hiss--
What's going on? Is there a bug in the game?
Yu Xiangnan immediately took out a small broken shovel and looked around warily.
Before I could even see it clearly, a line of small text popped up in front of me.
—【Energy Collapse Zone】(Non-Jurisdiction Area)—
Yu Xiangnan was taken aback. At that moment, a fierce wind and torrential rain swept around them, and streaks of lightning as thick as buckets tore through the inky sky, illuminating the chaotic world in a ghastly white light.
Huge cracks were everywhere on the ground, from which magma gushed forth, colliding with the cold rain and hissing as it rose into billowing white steam. A cacophony of sounds filled the air: howling winds, lashing rain, and booming lightning mingled together, making one's eardrums ache.
Even every few dozen meters there is a hole that exudes an eerie aura; those are the holes that sucked it into this wretched place.
The next instant, a dark shadow appeared behind her like a ghost, bringing with it a barely perceptible ripple in the air.
Yu Xiangnan's nerves tensed instantly. Her instincts made her react extremely quickly. Without thinking, she gripped the shovel in her hand, exerted force with her waist and abdomen, and thrust it backward with all her might. The movement was as fast as lightning.
However, the expected tactile sensation of hitting a solid object did not come. Instead, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and the shovel was firmly clamped between two gold coins that appeared out of thin air.
Sparks flew as the gold coins collided with the iron shovel!
In that very short time, Yu Xiangnan also saw who it was.
Luo, Luo Pin?!
Yu Xiangnan thought he was hallucinating and blinked in disbelief.
Luo Pin's camel-colored cloak was no longer what it used to be; it was covered with holes of all sizes and stained with dirt.
His pupils contracted when he saw Yu Xiangnan.
Am I seeing things? How did this little girl end up in the energy collapse zone? Isn't she just asking for death??
Yu Xiangnan immediately pulled back his shovel, took two steps back, and spoke first: "You damned merchant, you're not dead?"
"You have no manners! What kind of shrewd businessman are you?" Luo Pin curled his lip in dissatisfaction. "I'm not a shrewd businessman, I'm a 'hard-working businessman.' I struggle every day to make a living, and you still treat me like this. My life is too miserable!"
Yu Xiangnan twitched the corner of his mouth, too lazy to argue with him.
"What do you mean by 'energy collapse zone' and 'non-jurisdiction zone'?"
Just as Luo Pin was about to answer, a dull sound suddenly came from the hollow space.
Looking in the direction of the sound.
A horde of undead soldiers emerged from them, their bodies shrouded in a putrid stench and eerie green flames.
Their bodies were emaciated, their skin cracked like weathered tree bark, clinging tightly to their protruding bones, the stark white bones faintly visible. Eerie, ghostly green flames flickered in their eye sockets, and they moved with a limp.
These undead soldiers, strangely and in perfect unison, surged towards Yu Xiangnan and Luo Pin!
Luo Pin's expression changed drastically. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Damn it, another wave of monsters is coming."
He kept a wary eye on the direction from which the attack was coming, and replied, "Little girl, now is not the time to explain. I'll tell you after this crisis passes. My reason for being here is quite special, but I never expected you to be here too..."
Before he could finish speaking, the undead soldiers surged forward like a tidal wave!
Their fingertips continuously spewed out black, putrid mist that writhed and twisted in the air like venomous black snakes, leaving scorched marks on the ground wherever they passed.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Pin deftly twirled his hands, his fingertips instantly gathering eight gold coins.
Eight gold coins shot out simultaneously, leaving behind twisted golden trails as if the air was being sliced by a sharp blade.
The next second, countless golden coins burst from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, an indestructible barrier of money rose up in front of him and Yu Xiangnan.
The undead soldiers charged madly toward the money barrier.
They let out sharp roars, and invisible soul shocks surged towards the two like giant waves.
"Hmph, a bunch of lackeys, taste my Luo's gold coin barrage!" Luo Pin shouted, and another gold coin appeared in his hand, which he threw into the sky.
Countless gold coins, like summoned golden meteors, streaked across the sky and rained down on the undead soldiers with overwhelming force. Each gold coin carried immense power, striking the undead soldiers with unerring accuracy.
The undead soldiers that were hit turned into wisps of smoke like pieces of paper that had been set ablaze, and vanished in the raging storm.
Luo Pin's skills were dazzling and impressive, while Yu Xiangnan's fighting style was simple, direct, and clean.
She gripped the shovel with both hands, locked onto her target, and before the undead soldier could react, she leaped high into the air, swung the shovel, and smashed it down on the undead soldier's head with tremendous force.
The muffled sounds of "thud" and "thud" echoed one after another, each shovel strike precise and accurate, hitting the vital points.
Without any hesitation or delay.
