The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

The three left the east gate of the academy and stepped onto the fast teleportation array inside the academy. This teleportation array, as long as you have the coordinates, can take you to any location that is not blocked. It is completely different from ordinary teleportation arrays and is mainly for the convenience of students.

With a flash of light, the surrounding scenery changed, and they arrived at a somewhat desolate hilly area. In the distance, they could see the dark entrance of an abandoned mine, like a giant mouth ready to devour people. The air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur and metallic corrosion.

"Stay close to me and stay alert." An Changqing took the lead and walked towards the mine entrance. His steps were steady and his sharp eyes scanned the surrounding environment.

Su Yuehe followed closely behind, her short flute already at her lips, producing a few almost inaudible notes.

Chen Guan felt a gentle spiritual fluctuation spreading out from her, like invisible tentacles probing the movements in front and around her.

[This is SuSu's support skill, it seems to be sonic detection?]

Su Su's special ability is the power of words; her words become law.

An Changqing is very reliable and always at the forefront.

[Coffin Guy carrying a coffin through the wilderness—the scene is a bit eerie.]

What do rock beetles look like? Like the ones with twin tails like the factory worker's?

The comments section became active again as the mission began.

Soon, the three arrived at the entrance of the mine. Part of the entrance had collapsed, and rubble was piled up, allowing only two people to pass side by side.

It was pitch black inside, with only occasional faint rustling sounds and the creaking of rocks coming from the depths.

An Changqing took out a fist-sized lighting crystal from the side pocket of his backpack, infused it with a wisp of spiritual power, and the soft yet bright light immediately illuminated an area of ​​more than ten meters in front of him.

The cave walls were slippery, covered with moss and water stains, and the ground was littered with decaying mine cart tracks and rusted tools.

"Light might startle them, but darkness is more dangerous," An Changqing whispered. "Stay close."

The three entered the mine slowly in a triangular formation, with An Changqing in front, Chen Guan slightly ahead on the left rear, and Su Yuehe on the right rear, responsible for the rear.

After going about fifty meters deeper into the mine, the passageway became more complex, with several forks appearing. The odor in the air became stronger, and the rustling sounds became more frequent.

"To the left front, thirty meters away, there are multiple signs of life approaching." Su Yuehe suddenly warned in a low voice, her flute voice slightly distorted.

An Changqing immediately stopped and raised the illumination crystal. In the light, several millstone-sized insects, covered in thick, grayish-brown carapaces, with six pairs of sharp limbs and mouthparts that constantly opened and closed, dripping corrosive mucus, were swarming out from around the corner of the passage ahead.

Their compound eyes reflected a cold glint in the light, locked onto the three of them, and emitted a sharp hiss.

They were indeed mutated rock beetles, but fortunately there weren't many, only about seven or eight.

"Prepare for battle." An Changqing shouted, and his longsword was drawn with a gleaming sound. The blade shimmered with a faint golden light, and a scorching aura emanated from it.

Chen Guan immediately got into position, his body slightly lowered, his hands gripping one side of the coffin, ready to swing it as a shield or weapon at any moment.

Fortunately, the old man inside was secured very firmly; otherwise, if he were to be swung around like that every day, he would have gotten several bumps from the impact.

Instead of rushing forward rashly, he moved his feet in tacit agreement, maintaining a triangular formation of mutual support with An Changqing and Su Yuehe.

The rock beetles hissed as they surged in like a gray tide. They looked clumsy, but they were surprisingly fast in the narrow mine, their sharp limbs striking the ground with a series of clicking sounds.

"Moon Lotus, restrict their movements." As An Changqing gave the order, his figure shot out like an arrow, his long sword drawing a golden arc, accurately slashing at the junction of the head and carapace of the rock beetle charging at the front.

puff.

With a flash of sword light, the head of the rock beetle fell off, spurting out viscous green fluid, and its massive body convulsed as it collapsed.

Su Yuehe's short flute played rapid and sharp sound waves, and invisible ripples spread out, impacting the senses of the remaining rock beetles.

The movements of several rock beetles became noticeably sluggish, swaying unsteadily as if they were drunk.

Chen Guan seized the opportunity and strode forward. Instead of attacking the disturbed rock beetles, he slammed his heavy black iron coffin down like a door onto a rock beetle that was trying to bypass An Changqing and pounce on Su Yuehe.

boom!

A dull, drum-like roar echoed through the mine. Caught off guard, the rock beetle was struck head-on by the coffin. Its thick shell cracked with a teeth-grinding sound, and its entire body was sent flying backward as if hit by a battering ram. It crashed into the cave wall, slid down limply, its shell dented and its limbs twisted. It was clearly beyond saving.

[Holy crap, swatting bugs in a coffin—simple and brutal, but the person inside the coffin suffers terribly.]

Twin ponytails~~~

An Changqing is so handsome!

Thank you everyone for praising my husband. We are very much in love. Thank you all.

[Whose yellow urine woke up the person upstairs?]

The live chat erupted in a flurry of activity.

An Changqing's sword flashed repeatedly, slaying two more rock beetles that were affected by the sound waves. Chen Guan, on the other hand, was like a human fortress, wielding the coffin with great force, smashing and ramming the remaining rock beetles that tried to get close.

His attacks were devoid of any skill, relying purely on the weight of the coffin and his own brute force. However, in this confined environment, against the low-intelligence swarm of insects that charged primarily on instinct, it was exceptionally effective.

Occasionally, acid sprayed from rock beetles would splash over and land on the black iron coffin, making a hissing sound and emitting faint white smoke, but it could not leave any mark on the coffin wall.

Chen Guan himself, relying on his [Resilience] and agile footwork, dodged most of the attacks. Only a small amount of acid splashed onto his combat suit, which was blocked by his built-in defense and did not damage his flesh.

In just two or three minutes, seven or eight rock beetles were cleared away, and the passage was filled with the pungent smell of dead insects and a sour, rotten odor.

"Cleanup complete, collect samples."

An Changqing sheathed his sword, his expression unchanged; this level of mission posed no difficulty for him.

He walked over to a relatively intact insect carcass, used a special tool to cut off a few pieces of its hard shell, and put them into a sealed bag.

Su Yuehe stopped playing, her face pale. Clearly, the continuous use of sound waves to interfere had taken a toll on her, even though she was only using her spiritual power and not her special abilities.

The stronger the superpower, the greater the consumption. Therefore, for people like Su Yuehe and An Changqing who have top-level superpowers, they rarely need to use their superpowers at this stage.

She took a pill to replenish her mana, but her mana deficiency problem was getting worse...

Chen Guan was also slightly out of breath; the burst of energy he had just unleashed had taken a toll on his stamina.

He put the coffin back on his back, walked to another insect corpse, and began collecting samples, just like An Changqing had done.

The black iron coffin had just withstood multiple impacts and acid corrosion, yet it remained spotless and untouched by any dirt. Indeed, anything produced by the system is of the highest quality.

"Keep going, be careful, there might be a swarm leader or a nest." An Changqing put away the sample and signaled to continue deeper.
