One stone chamber after another was explored.

Night-spawned imps gnawing on bones, ill-intentioned adventurers robbing others…

Soon, only the last, uniquely designed stone chamber remained, seemingly with a waterfall cascading from a hole in the ceiling and a large pool on the ground.

“You wade into the knee-deep pool to investigate. The water in the pool is flowing; is there a drain somewhere?”

Mu Jinxia guessed, "There are no other paths left, so there must be a hidden passage beneath the pool."

Sure enough, when she chose to investigate further, the protagonist lost footing and suddenly fell. To save the protagonist, the companions followed and sank together.

The newly emerged place was a pitch-black hall, where the rushing water had turned the hall and wide corridor into a sizable stream. Around the hall, one could see scattered, crystal-clear stalactites, shimmering faintly in the darkness.

In the stream, several fish could even be seen swimming, a bizarre sight that made one marvel at the wonders of the underground ruins.

“The hall has been eroded by the flowing water over the years, forming a pool. The pool water emits a faint light, and a sense of purity washes over you, making you feel exceptionally safe. It seems monsters cannot approach this place.

A full recovery can be performed here.”

After all, this was deep underground in the ruins, and it would be too inconvenient if one could only return to the town to rest. Considering this, when a game's exploration content is extensive, rest points in various forms are set up on the map, like this pool.

Mu Jinxia brought up the team panel and checked the status of the team members. Their health and mana were not in good shape, so she had the team camp and rest by the pool.

When they woke up, the light of the pool had become very dim, seemingly having lost its magic for defense and recovery.

The stream formed by the water flowed to the other end of the corridor, leading downstream to an open hall.

A cutscene appeared.

“Swoosh!”

An arrow suddenly shot out from the shadows on the opposite bank, embedding itself in the wall, the shaft still trembling from the force.

Everyone was startled and became vigilant.

Upon closer inspection, a figure could faintly be seen in the direction the arrow came from.

“Don't come any closer!” a clear female voice said. “That arrow was deliberately shot off course. If you move forward, I won't show mercy.”

“The figure on the opposite bank nocks an arrow, ready to fire.

‘What are you? Monsters, or humans?’”

In this dark and dangerous underground ruin, it is indeed necessary to maintain a necessary level of vigilance.

Options popped up at the bottom of the screen:

[Stop fighting! We're friendly!]

[Dare to sneak attack us, you're tired of living! Grab your weapons and attack!]

Mu Jinxia chose the former: "This is obviously a friendly!"

The woman seemed relieved upon hearing the explanation and revealed herself: “You are adventurers too. My name is Kiria; I apologize for my rudeness just now.”

The girl named Kiria, holding a longbow and wearing black leather boots, was dressed in a neat hunter's outfit. Her eyes were clear, like a pool of blue water, making her very pleasing to the eye. However, the most striking feature was her waist-length purple hair.

The moment she saw the woman's appearance, Mu Jinxia couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, “Another new character has appeared, and she's a very pretty girl.”

The newly appeared archer girl, Kiria, in the game's story setting, is a nomadic princess from the distant southeastern wilderness, possessing mysterious blood. She has mastered skilled wilderness survival techniques, is proficient in using the bow and arrow, and has also learned a little magic from the bards of her hometown, able to summon animals to assist in battle. She has a keen sense of smell and can smell all sorts of things.

Kiria sized up the group and suddenly said, “Could it be that you also fell from that hole and are trapped here, unable to get out?”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Kiria sighed and shrugged, “Oh dear, oh dear, what a tragic situation, so very sympathetic.

Although she said she was sympathetic, there was a hint of joy in her tone.

She continued on her own, “In that case, I'll join you until we return to the surface. In a place like this, the most important thing is the spirit of mutual assistance, right? Well, I won't force you.”

“It's definitely not because I'm feeling unsure that I want to go with you, okay?” Kiria blushed slightly.

The viewers immediately became excited.

“Hehehe, she's a tsundere~”

“It's a tsundere! Tsundere is the best!”

Kiria joined the party!

System prompt: Escort the temporary character to the exit.

This is a escort mission like when they escorted Qiuna, as long as Kiria is safely brought to the surface, you can get 1 SP reward.

After Kiria joined the party, several new locations appeared on the map that could be explored.

Entering a new stone chamber, behind the door was a square room. Due to collapse, one corner of the room had been buried by sand and earth, but the remaining part was still well-preserved.

Conspicuously, a treasure chest was placed in the very center of the room.

However, several skeletons were scattered on the floor of the room, the empty eye sockets of the skulls seeming to want to say something.

On the inner wall of the room, several hollows were separated by bars, like prison windows, also creating a sense of unease.

The narration also prompted: “For some reason, the room is unusually damp.”

[Enter the room]

[Leave]

Mu Jinxia analyzed, “The room definitely has traps. Those skeletons should be left behind by explorers who coveted the treasure chest and died. But fortune favors the bold; there shouldn't be unsolvable traps.”

Saying that, she chose to enter the room to explore.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the room, with a 'snap,' the door behind her automatically locked.

“A large amount of water gushes out from the hollows in the inner wall! Huge fish shadows lurk in the water!”

Accompanying the sound of rushing water, the game screen suddenly turned dark blue, giving the feeling that the stone chamber was being flooded and the team was submerged in water. An urgent BGM played, filled with a suspenseful and tense atmosphere.

“'Eyeless Eyes' have appeared!”

Several eyeless monster fish appeared in the water, and the battle began.

“How truly descriptive!” Mu Jinxia's desire to吐槽 was sparked by this incredibly casual name.

After killing the monster fish, the scene returned to the stone chamber, but the urgent music still hadn't stopped because the water level in the stone chamber was still rising. If they didn't find a mechanism to disarm the trap quickly, they would be drowned alive here.

The narration prompted: “You must quickly find a way to escape. Listen to your companions' opinions.”

Mu Jinxia then remembered the seldom-used conversation option, so she chose to talk to her teammates: “Has anyone discovered any clues about the mechanism?”

Hearing this, Kiria closed her eyes, frowned slightly, and her delicate nostrils twitched, sniffing earnestly: “Shoo-shoo-shoo—there's a metallic smell in the room. Let's investigate it.”

Opening her eyes, Kiria noticed that her teammates were staring at her in surprise, and an involuntary blush crept onto her face. She said nonchalantly, “What? Do you have any questions about my sniffing around?”

Her tsundere nature was on full display.

“Girl, you're even better than a dog's nose,” Mu Jinxia joked. “Then let's investigate these bars.”

The water was still gushing fiercely from the hollows, and the bars were exceptionally sturdy, impossible to remove, and the gaps were not wide enough for people to squeeze through.

However, when investigating the third bar, something finally changed. There seemed to be a handle-shaped object inside the hollow, which could be reached and pulled.

After pulling the handle, no more water gushed out of the hollow, the stone chamber door reopened, and the accumulated water gradually receded.

The danger was resolved, and Mu Jinxia happily said, “Finally, we can collect the loot!”

Open the treasure chest.

Obtained Ancient Copper Coins!

Obtained Old Tree Staff!

Obtained 《Naris and Namris》!

Mu Jinxia opened her backpack, and when she saw the attributes of the Old Tree Staff, she excitedly said, “Wow, did you see that? This staff adds 60 points of magic attack, which is much stronger than what I have now!”

Happily equipping the new staff, she then opened 《Naris and Namris》, which seemed to tell a mythological story:

“Twins were born in the City of U.

The elder brother was named Naris, and the younger brother was named Namris. At the time of their birth, they each received a prophecy.

The elder brother was prophesied: ‘This child will not die by the blade.’

The younger brother was prophesied: ‘This child will not die by human hands.’

Later, the elder brother was chosen by the people as their leader. Fearing usurpation, he exiled his younger brother from the capital.

The younger brother, Namris, harbored resentment for this and single-handedly sought refuge with the magic king of Aego, enticing him to attack the City of U.

Aego's army invaded the City of U, and even a hundred elite soldiers were unable to defeat the elder brother, Naris.

At this time, the younger brother, Namris, attacked with a club and killed his elder brother because he knew his weaknesses like the back of his hand.

The scene of the destruction of the City of U is still vivid in my mind.

Afterward, Namris's soul was imprisoned and became an immortal demon general under King Didos of Aego.

This is the story of Naris and Namris.”
