Another World: That's too much. I have to start from scratch to get the contribution value.

Chapter 396: Mutation - Loneliness 5

Anjiu tried hard not to look unhappy.

"Female warrior... But I have to say, under your influence, I felt full of strength at that time~"

Not like now.

Anjiu clenched his fists to feel the strength of his arms.

She even felt that her fighting power had been reduced.

1009 sighed in a low voice, as if smiling, "The mantis' waist was almost on the ground, but it managed to run away from my pursuit range while carrying you."

But fortunately, it ran fast enough, otherwise the situation would have developed in a completely opposite way.

Anjiu shrugged, "Boss Shiitake is very powerful."

1009 changed the subject and asked, "What's going on here?"

An Jiu briefly recounted what happened, "For now, this other world is still safe. We just need to stay away from the natives. However, there are very few supplies, and this is all we can find."

She pointed to the energy beans on the tray.

1009 frowned, "Are you sure this thing is edible?"

An Jiu: "Of course, it tastes pretty good, just like the crunchy texture you get from eating my space."

She threw one into her mouth, bit the shell to feel the rich and strange taste, and put the rest into the space.

"I'm going to collect all the energy beans on this floor, then go down the stairs and see if I can find the exit."

1009 looked puzzled, "Fragrant?"

"Yeah, don't you think so?" Anjiu stopped chewing. "What do you smell?"

"no taste."

Anjiu smashed a pill, "Can't you smell it like this?"

1009 sniffed the air deeply and shook his head.

"This..." Anjiu's expression gradually became cautious, "Could it be that my ability to smell it has something to do with coming out of the eggshell?"

Or is it related to the umbilical cord?

1009 pondered, "It could also be related to the fact that I am a spirit. Do you feel any adverse reactions in your body?"

Anjiu: “No.”

She was fine, in no pain, and not hungry.

"Then don't worry about it for now. You can catch someone to test the waters later. For now, follow your plan. I'll be by your side to assist you."

1009 said calmly, then ran and jumped all the way down to the ground.

He felt the friction of the ground and used his current perspective to memorize the structure of the room.

The two exchanged glances, Anjiu opened the door, and 1009 cautiously ran out first.

The corridor remained the same as when I entered before, with candle flames burning quietly.

But I could no longer hear the sound of fighting coming from downstairs.

Is it over? Who won?

Anjiu winked at 1009, who nodded to show that he understood, and ran towards the stairs quickly and nimbly.

Anjiu continued to collect energy beans - her idea was simple, if they were non-toxic, she would keep them for eating, and if they were poisonous, she would save them for others to eat.

About five minutes later, 1009 returned to her shoulder.

"Besides a few bodies downstairs, I didn't see the aboriginal you mentioned. There were deep cuts on the neck of the body, and the skin and flesh on the broken part had burn marks, which should be the reason why the blood didn't spurt out."

The aorta is where the blood flows most turbulently. To achieve this, one must use high temperature to completely burn the blood vessels while cutting them open.

Moreover, all the corpses died in the same way. Judging from the postures in which they fell and the horrified expressions on their faces, the weapons used by the natives were difficult to guard against.

Glancing at Anjiu, 1009's eyes became more cautious.

"I'll go guard the door."

After collecting everything on this floor, Anjiu began to look for an exit.

Soon she discovered that the internal structure here was very complicated. After walking around for a while, she came to a dead end. If she changed direction and walked again, there was either an extra door or a corridor in front of her.

And now, she was standing in front of a ball of darkness—there were no candles lit, nor any light to provide any illumination.

It was a black color like ink.

Anjiu didn't dare to go any further down. After walking up one or two steps, he looked at the mottled walls extending inward, feeling somewhat hesitant.

"Wait here, I'll go down and take a look."

1009 jumped down the stairs lightly, and his figure was instantly swallowed up by the darkness, as if he disappeared into another world.

Anjiu opened his mouth and stopped the urge to call him back - what if the exit was downstairs, no one could see him and he would be safe.

But the problem is, he is so young, can he feel which one is the door...

As soon as this thought came to my mind, 1009 came back.

"There's water all down there, the exit shouldn't be here."

He was completely wet, and a drop of water fell into Anjiu's neck, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice sticking to her skin.

She couldn't help but shudder.

“Then we can only go up.”

"Well, I'll go back and change my clothes and come out soon. Be careful."

1009 returned to the space, and only Anjiu was left at the scene.

She took a deep breath. Thanks to the drop of ice water, her mind was now clear. She walked up the stairs to the upper floor, trying to draw a route map in her mind along the way.

Every time she reached a floor, she had to count upwards to record how many floors she had climbed so far.

A candle was lit on the stone wall at the corner, and a thick layer of melted wax had accumulated underneath.

In the silence of the sparks, Anjiu heard the echo of his own footsteps and the intense heartbeat in his chest.

When she counted to ten, she stopped, panting softly, and leaned her head forward to look up, holding onto the handrail of the stairs.

The stairs above were illuminated by candlelight, half dim and half dark, alternating regularly, as if they were a mirror within a mirror within a mirror, getting smaller and smaller in the field of vision, giving an illusion of extending endlessly.

Anjiu averted his gaze and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.

At this time, 1009 suddenly said, "Someone is walking down from above."

Anjiu immediately looked back.

I saw the candlelight flickering slightly on the fifth or sixth floor, and after a moment, an elongated shadow came to the next floor.

——Someone has indeed come down.

Anjiu moved away from the handrail and leaned against the stone wall to prevent his shadow from being seen by the man upstairs.

In such a quiet environment, she didn't even hear the sound of someone coming down?

So cautious?

"Find a room to hide first, and I'll see who it is."

1009 Going up the stairs, Anjiu turned down, opened the second door and hid behind it.

She left a narrow gap and looked at the stairs silently.

As the candlelight swayed faintly, a figure appeared and disappeared in the stairwell, with footsteps as light as a ghost, and an imperceptible sense of oppression quietly permeated.

Just when he was about to appear at the stairs, he suddenly stopped, and his elongated shadow spread out on the steps.

The air seemed to freeze.

Anjiu felt a surge of nervousness.

Pu Huai should not be seen. I have done many experiments with him. Not only can outsiders not see him, they can't even hear his voice.
