"Where are Nie Yun and the others?" Gu Mian looked away, pretending not to see Zhou Ye's melancholy gaze.
"They've gone back to the raft."
After saying that, Gu Xiaobei sniffed and said, "It smells so good! What did you eat, sister?"
Gu Mian: "With such a strong smell, what else could it be but instant noodles?"
Gu Xiaobei suddenly raised her voice and said in a coquettish tone, "The instant noodles that my sister cooks must be delicious. I wonder if my little brother will be lucky enough to have them."
Gu Mian shuddered, goosebumps rising on her skin: "Don't suddenly speak in a high-pitched voice, it's disgusting!"
"Screw you, get out there and fight some monsters!" Xu Kun suddenly darted behind Gu Xiaobei and kicked him in the butt.
Gu Xiaobei stumbled and almost fell outside the protective shield.
"Brother...you're getting angry again..."
Xu Kun retorted angrily, "I'm so angry, my ass!"
Gu Mian: ...
"Excuse me for asking," Zhou Ye withdrew his gaze from Gu Mian and turned to look at Jiang Bai, "How did you know there was a black hole inside the forest without even entering it?"
Jiang Bai paused, but did not answer immediately.
Zhou Ye drew an arrow from his quiver and aimed it at the Illusionary Demon Vine that was striking the protective shield the most fiercely: "You don't have to say if it's inconvenient."
“Whoosh!”
Health Points - 2000
An arrow pierced the chest of the Illusionary Vine in an instant, and the already weakened vine suddenly exploded into a cloud of green mist, slowly dissipating into the air.
[Defeat the Tier 4 mutated creature, the Illusionary Vine, and gain 10,000 points.]
Hearing the system's announcement, Jiang Bai smiled with satisfaction: "It's my talent: Eye of Detection."
It only mentioned the name of the talent, but did not explain its specific function.
Zhou simply gave a nonchalant "Oh," and said, "Looks like you're in luck."
Jiang Bai smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
Gu Mian: ...
Outside, the Illusionary Vine was frantically whipping the protective shield with its cane, while inside, Xu Kun and Gu Xiaobei were childishly bickering.
On the other side were Jiang Bai and Zhou Ye, chatting idly and occasionally drawing their bows to shoot arrows at the Illusionary Demon Vine.
She looked this way and then that way, and realized how out of place she felt.
She didn't need to come all this way!
...
[Enter the portal?]
No, no, no!
Nie Yu hurriedly took a few steps back, staring in horror at the portal to her bathroom that had been created.
Heaven knows she had just returned from the island to her raft and wanted to take a shower, but before she even stepped into the bathroom, she heard the system notification.
Although she had never entered the portal before, she had seen other players' deductions in the chat channel and knew with her own eyes that it was definitely not something she could enter with her current strength.
Rationally, she knew she definitely couldn't go in, but in reality, she was incredibly curious.
Nie Yu frowned, looking at the bathroom that was exactly the same as before, unchanged. If it weren't for the system's notification, she really wouldn't have been able to tell that this place had become the entrance to the portal to the time and space.
Think about it.
Nie Yu opened her friends list and found her brother: "[Image] Brother, the portal to another dimension has appeared in my bathroom. Should we go in and take a look?"
The main problem is that this door was painted right in the bathroom, and I don't know when it will disappear.
Or will it not disappear if I don't go inside?
No!
She was covered in sweat and hadn't showered yet!
Nie Yun, who was taking off his shirt to take a shower, immediately changed his expression when he saw the message: "Don't go in yet, wait for me to come over."
He then quickly put on his clothes and rushed to Nie Yu's raft.
Nie Yu: "Okay."
Then she obediently walked to the door and waited for her brother to knock.
The door wasn't open because it was too cold outside.
Nie Yun's raft was right next to Nie Yu's raft. She had only been standing there for less than two seconds when she heard her brother knocking on the door, which shows how fast Nie Yun was.
He was genuinely afraid that his sister, out of curiosity, would disobey him and go inside on her own!
Fortunately, Nie Yu knew what was important this time.
Seeing Nie Yu waiting behind the door, Nie Yun breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.
"How did the portal to another dimension appear here?" Nie Yun stood at the bathroom door, completely baffled.
"I don't know." Nie Yu walked to Nie Yun's side, tilted her head to look at him, and repeated, "Brother, should we go in and take a look?"
"Not for now." Nie Yun shook his head, then took out an eye-shaped prop and threw it into the portal.
Like ripples appearing on a calm surface of water, several ripples suddenly appeared in the air, and then the prop disappeared.
"Let's see what the situation is inside before deciding whether to go in or not."
"Okay."
Just as Nie Yu was about to nod, the scene in the bathroom suddenly changed.
The clean and bright bathroom suddenly turned into complete darkness. There was not a single ray of light in the deep darkness, and nothing could be seen.
Nie Yu: "Why is it so dark?"
Nie Yun: "It will be done in a few seconds."
A yellowish light suddenly appeared in the darkness, blurring the image for a moment before gradually becoming clear.
Nie Yu covered her mouth, staring inside in horror.
In the limited light, the area as far as the eye could see was densely packed with grave mounds!
Seemingly sensing the gaze, the mound suddenly collapsed, revealing an arm wrapped in bandages.
This seemed to be a signal; after one arm stretched out, the densely packed mounds collapsed one after another, and countless arms wrapped in bandages stretched out in succession.
The hands not wrapped in bandages were a dry, bluish color, resembling the claws of a monster, so sharp they seemed capable of tearing a human body apart.
“What…what is that?” Nie Yu asked, her finger trembling as she pointed at the monster crawling out of the grave mound.
Nie Yun frowned: "It looks a bit like a mummy?"
"Huh?" Nie Yu stared blankly: "A mummy?"
“That’s right.” Nie Yun nodded somewhat uncertainly.
The monster in the burial mound had crawled out most of its body; except for its arms, all the exposed parts of its body were wrapped in bandages.
Nie Yu: "It really is a mummy!"
What's going on? Why am I suddenly not so scared anymore?!
...
Hot water kept flowing down her head. Gu Mian sighed wearily, squeezed a pump of shampoo from the bottle next to her, and began to rub her hair.
Fighting is really tiring...
After spending the whole day chasing the vine demons, she felt like all her energy had been drained.
Gu Mian took out a dry towel and wrapped it around her hair. She then stepped into the wooden tub and sat on the small stool that had been placed inside.
The hot water kept washing over my body, and my sore muscles began to slowly ease.
After soaking for a few minutes, she felt a bit bored and was just about to open the chat channel to kill time when she saw that Nie Yun had sent her a private message.
"Hello, I've discovered a portal to another dimension. [Image] I'd like to invite you to join my team and take a look inside."
Has the portal to another time and space reappeared?
Gu Mian blinked and zoomed in on the picture Nie Yun had sent.
