Chapter 172 Hell Tunnel
The black tiger king bee was no problem, but the pearl-bellied pig, the spotted turtle, the adorable crocodile, and the rose-crowned watermelon thorn all crowded around, some asking with some confusion:
"Lulu, why didn't you take us with you?!"
Su Tinglu smiled and said, "The Starry Water Turtles are too big. Although they can shrink their size at will, I can still teleport you here if I encounter danger."
Thinking about it that way, it does seem to make sense.
The spotted turtle and the pearl pig agreed.
The Black Tiger King Bee looked at Su Tinglu: "Master, do you really want to come to the mine with me?!"
Su Tinglu nodded: "Let's go now."
Time flies! Before I knew it, I had gone from a survivor with only a coconut tree to a lord with his own people.
I hope I can become stronger.
I still don't know how to get out of the survival world.
Su Tinglu really missed her grandparents.
I just don't know how they are doing now.
I just hope that older people can't enter the survival world.
Su Tinglu quickly led the Black Tiger King Bee to the mine she had previously explored.
The mine was pitch black inside, but a string of numbers was displayed on the outside.
[Mine exploration progress: 67%]
It's time to go in.
Su Tinglu closed her eyes and leaped into the air.
I remember when I first entered the mine, I only brought a torch, a stone sword and pickaxe, some food and water, and basic supplies.
But I already have a lot of good things.
The moment she jumped in, Su Tinglu could feel herself falling continuously.
A wave of darkness swept past her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found herself in a cave.
[You have entered the mine. Please remember your current route; your spawn point is your departure point.]
It's the same prompt as before.
Su Tinglu decisively placed a torch there.
Five stones were placed around the torch.
Fearing it might not be safe, they scraped a huge circle on the wall with a stone.
That should be enough.
Su Tinglu raised the extra torches and explored ahead.
"Tick-tock—"
"Tick-tock—"
The mine was pitch black, and flames flickered and danced.
The light from a small cluster of flames illuminated the path ahead.
The stone wall was covered with moss, which was full of water and dripped water droplets from time to time.
Everything is still the same as when I first came in.
The difference is that the mineral bats here have all been cleared out.
I will never encounter the mine bats again.
This was the first time the Black Tiger King Bee had come to the mine, and it looked around with some curiosity.
The flames leaped and bounced.
It was extremely dark all around.
The Black Tiger King Bee looked at Su Tinglu and said, "Lulu, it's so dark here, and I always feel a rotten smell in there."
The stench of decay?!
Su Tinglu frowned slightly: "The rotten smell you mentioned should be referring to acid rain."
There should have been some creatures that I had never discovered before remaining in the mine, but they should have all disappeared because of the acid rain.
The Black Tiger Queen Bee seemed to be deep in thought.
"Oh, I see."
Su Tinglu nodded.
One bee and one person continued their exploration.
Soon, Su Tinglu arrived at the fork in the road where she had been standing.
A new prompt has appeared.
However, the hints seem to have changed slightly since her last clear of the dungeon.
The last time was:
[The fork in the mine's path: The left path leads to Hell, where you'll encounter more monsters, but the chances of finding ores and treasures are also greater. The right path leads to Heaven, where there are fewer monsters. At the end, a sleeping doll awaits her princess. If you help her find the princess, you will obtain all the items from this path!]
This time it became:
[The fork in the mine: The left path leads to Hell, where you'll encounter more monsters, but the chances of finding ores and treasures are also greater. The right path leads to Heaven, where there are fewer monsters. At the end, there's a sleeping doll waiting for her princess. If you help her find the princess, you'll obtain all the items from this path! (You have found the princess and obtained all the items.)]
Su Tinglu looked at the blocked entrance to the right.
Then, without hesitation, he walked to the left.
Almost as soon as she entered the cave, she felt a chilling aura seep into her bones, penetrating to the very marrow of her body, as if a demon crawled out of hell and grabbed her ankle.
She felt her body stiffen for a moment, and the Black Tiger King Bee seemed to sense something and looked at her.
"Lulu, what's wrong?!"
Su Tinglu shook her head.
The sensation disappeared the instant the Black Tiger Queen Bee spoke.
Su Tinglu's entire body completely disappeared into the darkness.
We entered the cave on the left.
Strangely, the cave on the left was not as eerie and terrifying as I had imagined; on the contrary, it was almost identical to the one on the right.
She encountered many mineral bats along the way, which she killed. She also discovered that the stone walls along the path were covered with snow-white flower buds, which, although the instructions said they were useless, were exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
"Whoosh—"
Just as she was admiring the flowers, a ball of flame suddenly appeared not far away.
Su Tinglu thought she was going to enter the hut again, but the flame only jumped a few times and then disappeared.
Amazingly, the next moment, the scene from before reappeared before her eyes.
The narrow mine shaft suddenly expanded, her vision went black, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a small house.
The firelight dispelled the chill, and the elegant table was laden with food, next to a fireplace made of red bricks.
"Squeak—"
The small cradle rocked gently, as if an invisible hand was pushing it from the side. Su Tinglu got goosebumps all over and couldn't help but shiver.
Su Tinglu frowned slightly.
But miraculously, after the flame reappeared, the scene disappeared.
Darkness fell again before my eyes.
It was completely dark all around.
Su Tinglu thought for a moment, then looked at the Black Tiger King Bee and said, "Big Black, can you sense what's ahead?!"
Dahei's ability is to detect when something is wrong in the surroundings.
The Black Tiger King Bee nodded and activated its skill.
After several seconds, the Black Tiger King Bee spoke: "Lulu, it seems there's nothing there."
Su Tinglu was relieved to find that there was nothing there.
Su Tinglu continued walking forward.
There were no signs or directions along the way.
She kept a teleportation scroll clutched in her hand.
If you encounter danger, run.
After walking for an unknown amount of time and killing countless mineral bats, Su Tinglu finally felt as if a mirror had appeared in front of her.
A line of text appeared in the mirror.
Her people were also present.
"Welcome to Hell! This is the Hell Tunnel. Do you wish to enter? Once you're in, there's no going back!"
