Xu Xin continued to explore in a direction he had never been to before. Every time he turned a corner, he would carve a mark on the wall in that direction.
He encountered several attacks from rats along the way, but he dealt with them all.
Soon, he saw the mark he had carved earlier at a fork in the road.
"Is this... turned back?" Xu Xin frowned.
There was no other way, Xu Xin could only choose another gap and enter it sideways.
"Hmm!" Before they had taken a few steps, Coco, who was lying on his shoulder, suddenly cried out again. Every time she encountered a mutant rat, Coco would notify Xu Xin in advance.
"There's danger again!" The crossbow in Xu Xin's left hand was already strung, and the sword was tightly held in his right hand.

Xu Xin decided to give it a try. He stopped about seven or eight meters from the corner, picked up a piece of gravel and threw it towards the corner.
Just as the gravel flew into the corner, a slender, bright red tongue suddenly shot out from the corner and rolled the stone into the corner.
"Ah!" Coco screamed weakly.
"What's going on?" Xu Ye stopped in shock.
Is that... a tongue?
Perhaps knowing that it had been discovered, a figure as wide as the passage appeared at the corner. Its fat body squeezed the two sides of the passage. Its uneven and pimpled skin made people feel uncomfortable when looking at it, and its pair of red eyes emitted a strange light.
It's a toad!
The most important thing is that its dark green, dusty toad body is covered with blood-red patterns!
Blood-Striped Toad! Another mutant creature!
