Xie Xuan had been complaining to herself, but Zhou Yuanyuan unexpectedly responded with a serious response, "Because spring is the mating season for pets, autumn is the molting season, and some pets need to hibernate in winter, so they can only choose summer. And now, almost the entire summer is the rainy season."
Xie Xuan sighed.
Ling Wenqing turned around and said, "Are you ready? It's time to enter the realm."
Xie Xuan and Zhou Yuanyuan immediately responded: "We're ready."
The moment the entrance was triggered, the surrounding scenes disappeared quickly like rice paper melting in water, and in the blink of an eye, the perspective changed.

The current spore concentration detected is 35%.
The system's announcement had just ended when Xie Xuan suddenly felt a slight stinging pain on her temple, and Bai Ze's voice rang out immediately afterwards.
"Hello everyone, I'm Bai Ze. I'll be assisting Team 320 as the communicator for this mission."
Xie Xuan blinked, and the shape of the water droplet quickly enlarged in front of her eyes, dripping onto the helmet, leaving an inconspicuous water mark.
The water drops kept falling, but Xie Xuan couldn't move at all.
Ling Wenqing's voice suddenly rang out beside Xie Xuan's ear. "I'm stuck. Water is dripping down from above. How's the situation over there?"
Xie Xuan and Zhou Yuanyuan said in unison: "Same."
Ling Wenqing: "Get out first, then find a way to reunite."
Xie Xuan and Zhou Yuanyuan responded in unison.
Xie Xuan used all her strength to fight against this invisible force. The sound of dripping water continued for a long time, and she finally relaxed and was able to move.
She sat up suddenly, and the water on the ceiling continued to fall.
Her vision was limited just now and she could only see the white ceiling above her head. Now she realized that she was trapped in a transparent square cage.
She was the only one in the cage; Ling Wenqing and Zhou Yuanyuan were nowhere to be found.
The air was very humid. The cage was transparent, but it was covered with fine water droplets, and I could only vaguely see something on both sides.
In the corner of the cage stood a food bowl and a water bowl, and next to it was something similar to a cat litter box filled with fine sand, exactly the same layout as the pet cages she had seen outside.
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly came from Xie Xuan's left.
The cage was not big, about three meters by four meters, and she quickly walked to the left wall.
She raised her hand to wipe away the moisture on the wall, and the scene outside the cage became clear. It was another cage.
Standing in the cage was Ling Wenqing, who was much taller than Zhou Yuanyuan. At this moment, the muzzle of the gun in his hand was pointed outward.
Xie Xuan bent her fingers and tapped the wall twice.
"Bang, bang."
The wall made a strange, dull sound. The material of the wall didn't look like glass or acrylic.
But Ling Wenqing's attention has been attracted.
Ling Wenqing turned around and walked to the wall. "A gun can't penetrate the wall here. See if your special ability can break it."
Xie Xuan nodded and took out the dagger and stabbed it at the wall.
Unexpectedly, the dagger cut into the transparent wall of unknown material as easily as cutting tofu. Xie Xuan cut out a hole big enough for them to pass through in just a few strokes.
Zhou Yuanyuan heard their movements through the communicator, "How come you are progressing so fast? I haven't even broken free from the seal of this water droplet yet."
Ling Wenqing bent down and walked through the hole in the wall. "We'll go find you now."
When entering the field, Xie Xuan was sandwiched between Ling Wenqing and Zhou Yuanyuan, and the field directly locked the three of them in the cage in that order.
Xie Xuan also cut a hole in the cage on the other side, and Ling Wenqing nimbly crawled over and pulled Zhou Yuanyuan up from the ground.
Zhou Yuanyuan wiped the water off his helmet and said shamefacedly, "Sorry, I'm holding you back."
Ling Wenqing shook his head. "The higher the level of your ability, the higher your resistance to the domain's control. This is a D-level domain, and your ability is only E-level. It's normal that you can't break free from the control."
This sentence was actually said to Xie Xuan. Ling Wenqing and Zhou Yuanyuan have been partners for more than two years and have risked their lives together several times, so naturally they would not mind such a small matter.
Xie Xuan understood and nodded, saying, "We're all teammates now, so it's too awkward to say that."
Zhou Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Team 320 successfully rendezvoused fifteen minutes after entering the area.
The two sides of the cage were connected to other cages, and there was a row of fist-sized breathing holes on one side. Ling Wenqing walked to the wall and raised his hand to wipe out a clean area.
The first thing they saw was a pair of eyes.
They were large, about the size of a fist, and brown, more like a feline's eyes than a human's.
No one spoke for a moment. The water droplets on the wall condensed into strands and slid down. Xie Xuan saw the full appearance of the "person" outside the cage who was watching them.
It was a huge cat-man, looking at them quietly, with many bumps on its face as if it had some kind of skin disease.
Xie Xuan: …
The good news is that there are no Siberian tigers this time. The bad news is that this time there are giant cat people.
In just a short while, the thing under the bulge on the face of the huge cat man in front of him had broken through the skin, revealing what was underneath.
It was a milky white fungus, and milky white pus was slowly flowing out of the wound.
Ling Wenqing looked away as if nothing had happened. "We need to leave the cage first. The parasite is probably on the cat-man."
After Ling Wenqing finished speaking, he turned to look at Xie Xuan and said, "I'm counting on you."
Xie Xuan walked straight forward and cut the transparent wall with a dagger.
But just when they were halfway through cutting, the cat man who had been watching them outside suddenly took a step back, turned around and slowly walked away.
As soon as it turned around, the parasite, who was still in human form standing behind its ears, was completely exposed.
Zhou Yuanyuan whispered, "The parasite is right behind the cat man's ear!"
Xie Xuan immediately quickened her movements, but at this moment, she suddenly heard vague voices.
It was a very strange sound, as awkward and weird as a pet dog speaking human language in its own tone.
Ling Wenqing had already reloaded his gun. "Don't be distracted! Keep cutting!"
Finally, a hole appeared in the wall that was big enough for a person to bend over and pass through. The cut board fell down to the ground covered with mycelium. The muffled sound quickly attracted the attention of the dog man who was talking.
“Here!”
