"A nameless 3S copy?"
Xia Xiyue thought for a moment, "Brother Mu, do you think this dungeon might be trigger-based? What if someone in our team triggers the dungeon's storyline but doesn't tell us? Wouldn't we have come all this way for nothing?"
Mu Sheng stubbed out his cigarette: "You suspect Zhao Keke and Shen Jue?"
"Yeah, I always felt that the two of them were hiding something from us," Xia Xiyue said truthfully.
"It's understandable that you have this thought, but those two have been with us these past two days. How could they have time to do anything else? Maybe you're overthinking it. Get some rest; we still have to travel and explore tomorrow."
After saying that, Mu Sheng got up and went back to his tent.
Tonight, it's Xia Xiyue and Zhang Guole's turn to keep watch. Xia Xiyue stirred the firewood pile, and the firelight reflected on his face, making his gaze somewhat deep. He also glanced at the tent where Shen Jue was staying from time to time.
Shen Jue and Zhao Keke are staying together. Currently, the lights in their tent are off, which means they are asleep.
With him guarding them tonight, it's highly unlikely they'll go out.
The dungeon world at night is similar to the outside world. In the area around the cabin, insects chirp incessantly, and the moonlight shines softly on the grass and trees, creating a peaceful scene.
The night passed, and nothing happened.
Last night, Shen Jue and Zhao Keke wanted to go out, but not long after the lights were turned off, Xia Xiyue kept staring in the direction where they lived from outside the tent.
Including late at night, when Cheung Kwok-le took over Xia Xiyue's night watch, he quietly said a few words.
After overhearing their conversation last night, Shen Jue decided not to get up in the middle of the night.
I'm not going anywhere; I'll just stay in the tent and rest.
Although they were on guard against them, the other side was also on guard against them. Except for the first night when they were made to keep watch, they had no chance to sneak out.
During the night watch afterwards, they separated her from Zhao Keke.
When Shen Jue was on night watch, someone was always by her side, so she didn't have a chance to leave even if she wanted to.
These four people weren't very capable, but they were quite cunning. The more they acted this way, the less Shen Jue liked them.
She didn't even mention that she triggered the side quest.
Anyway, their side quests are still missing two plot points. If we work hard today and explore the other two directions, we might make some new discoveries.
The six-person team, each with their own agenda, headed north.
The further north you go, the colder it gets.
If the environment to the east is like spring, with all vegetation sprouting, then the south is like summer, with vegetation growing extremely lushly, and the west is like autumn, a desolate place with bare vegetation and creatures like iron-eating insects that eat almost anything. How could the environment along the western route not be barren?
As for the north, that's the east. The four directions of this instance are roughly based on the four seasons.
Different environments support different organisms, although none of those organisms are normal.
As Shen Jue had predicted, heading north, a world covered in white snow came into view.
"This awful weather! We're wearing winter clothes, but we're still so cold." Lin Jiao shivered from the cold.
She couldn't help but complain, and then kicked the snow in frustration.
Ouch!
"Ouch! There seems to be something in the snow?"
Lin Jiao shook her foot. The kick she had just given felt like she had hit a steel plate; that thing was really hard.
Shen Jue looked at the snow in front of Lin Jiao, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.
"Start digging in the snow and expose what's underneath."
On the surface, they still obeyed Shen Jue's orders. Although they had opinions about what Shen Jue asked them to do, they would not show them.
When they dug through the snow in this area, they found a human-shaped stone sculpture under the thick snow.
The moment the group saw the stone sculpture, Shen Jue gained two more plot points for his side quest.
[Congratulations on discovering a humanoid stone sculpture. It has reached max story points and can unlock story fragments. Do you wish to unlock the story fragments?]
