Conquer the other worlds with abandon, they've fallen in love with me!

Low-level monster, cave beetle.

Bell moved.

The spear shot out of her hand swiftly and accurately, the tip piercing directly through the head of the lead beetle.

The green liquid splattered out and hissed and smoked when it hit the ground, clearly indicating that it was corrosive.

Bell drew his spear and turned around, the spearhead sweeping across the legs of the second beetle, snapping several legs off simultaneously with a crack.

The beetle lay on its back, belly up, with several broken legs flailing wildly in the air.

The third beetle lunged at him, but Bell dodged to the side, his spear tip slicing upwards from below, piercing through the gap in the beetle's abdominal shell, twisting and pulling.

Lin Yu stood watching, holding his longsword. Knowing that Bell was capable, he didn't rush forward to show off and left the fighting to Bell.

The three beetles were quickly eliminated.

Bell flicked the green liquid off the tip of his spear, glanced back at Lin Yu, and said, "Let's go."

Go deeper.

The monsters on the first floor were mostly low-level creatures, which Bell handled all by himself. Occasionally, one or two would slip through, but Lin Yu could manage them.

The longsword was heavier than he had imagined, but his physical condition was good, and his strength and reaction time were up to par.

After severing a beetle's leg, he even felt that the feel of the sword was alright, but it was too heavy and he wasn't quite used to it yet.

The entrance to the second level is behind a stone wall that has collapsed halfway.

The air changed as soon as you went in; it became more humid and colder, and there was a sweet, fishy smell that lingered in the air.

The monsters on the second floor are more troublesome than those on the first floor.

They are not simply melee fighters; they use venom. Cave spiders hang down from their heads, and a single drop of venom from their mouthparts can burn a crater in a stone slab.

There's also a lizard-like creature that moves incredibly fast; its tail can sweep a person away.

Belle's size made her a little cramped in the confined space, but her experience allowed her to wield the spear like a club, sweeping and slashing, sending several lizards flying and crashing into the wall.

Lin Yu wasn't idle either.

He stood behind Bell, targeting the small creatures that tried to attack from the side.

The longsword wasn't quite right in his hand, but Lin Yu had the advantage of great strength; one strike would at least render those demons unable to fight.

After several rounds of fighting, more than a dozen monster corpses were piled up on the ground.

Belle's breathing became heavy, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, trickling down her cheeks and dripping onto her leather armor.

The sunlight shone on her face, and her lips appeared a little lighter in color than before.

"My magic is almost gone." She wiped the sweat from her brow, her voice still relatively steady. "How much further?"

"Almost there, just ahead." The two continued forward.

At the end of the passage was a larger room, with several glowing minerals embedded in the stone walls, casting a dim light throughout the space.

In the center of the room stood a stone platform, on which sat a wooden box covered in dust.

Treasure chest.

Lin Yu recognized it; it was the box in the game that contained the complete guide to potions.

But Bell didn't look at the box.

She turned her ear to the left, then suddenly spun around.

A spear was held horizontally in front of him.

A cave spider emerged from the shadows, twice the size of the one we had seen before, its eight legs covered in barbs.

Its abdomen was swollen, with the end sticking up, and a clump of viscous white liquid sprayed towards Bell.

Bell dodged the liquid but didn't notice the barbs on the spider's other leg.

The barbs grazed her forearm from the side, tearing her leather armor and leaving a shallow wound on her skin.

Blood beads seeped out, and their color was black.

"It's poisonous." Bell took two steps back, his face darkening.

The spider tried to pounce again, but Lin Yu rushed up from the side and slashed one of its legs with his longsword.

Although he didn't cut it off, he managed to deflect one of the spider's legs at an off-center angle, causing it to lose its balance and tilt to the side.

Bell seized the opportunity, thrusting the spear into the spider's mouth and piercing the back of its head.

The spider twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Lin Yu pulled the sword out of the spider's leg and went to help Belle: "Can you walk?"

"Yes." Bell gritted his teeth, but his steps were already a little unsteady.

The toxin acted faster than she expected; half of her arm began to go numb, and the numbness was spreading upwards along her blood vessels.

Lin Yu looked around. There was a narrow door on the right side of the room, behind which was an even narrower passage.

He helped Bell walk quickly over. At the end of the passage was a small stone chamber, like a place where guards used to rest. It had walls on three sides and an entrance on only one side, making it a natural safe house.

Bell slid down against the stone wall, his spear resting beside his legs.

She raised her injured arm and glanced down at the wound.

The skin around the wound had turned dark purple and was swollen.

"I was careless." She sighed, her voice filled with regret. "I've been too comfortable for too long, and my reaction time has slowed down."

Lin Yu crouched down to examine her wound, but Belle pulled her hand away, saying, "Don't touch it, it's poisonous."

She glanced at Lin Yu and then said, "I'm definitely not able to move in my current state."

"You...you do have strength, but you don't have much fighting ability. If you really encounter monsters again, you probably won't be able to escape."

The tone was concerned, but the words were not pleasant to hear.

Lin Yu's face darkened: "What do you mean by 'high probability of not escaping'?"

Bell smirked. "It's exactly what it sounds like, little brother."

She leaned against the stone wall, closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again: "Honestly, I'm sorry."

I was supposed to be here to protect you, but now I've become a burden, and we might both die here.

Lin Yu didn't reply, but looked at the poisoned Bell and quickly came up with a solution.

The milking gloves I stole from Bell's house have the effect of giving milk a detoxifying effect.

This scenario is perfect for it.

There are no cows here.

However, Bell's race is...

Lin Yu's gaze shifted to Bell.

Bell sat against the stone wall, his leather armor torn in the battle, the collar ripped open to reveal the white lining underneath.

The lining was soaked with sweat and clung to her skin, making the outlines of her breasts clearly visible, rising and falling with her breath.

She noticed Lin Yu's gaze and blinked.

My reaction wasn't panic, but rather a bit of surprise, and a little bit of amusement.

"Young man, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Yu didn't say anything.

Bell's lips curled into a slight smile. The poison hadn't even been neutralized yet, but he was already in the mood to tease Lin Yu: "What? Why are you looking at me with such an evil gaze, little brother? Are you waiting for me to die so you can take advantage of my condition?"

Lin Yu's face darkened.

What is an evil look?

The first glance is instinct, the second glance is hesitation, and the third glance can be described as evil.

But he never shied away from it, so how can he be considered evil?

Lin Yu said calmly, "Yes, you saw right through me. You're almost dead, and you still care about this?"

Miss Belle, you seem quite knowledgeable, don't you? Miss Belle.

Upon hearing this, Bell's face flushed red; he hadn't expected Lin Yu to ask so directly.

However, she quickly understood Lin Yu's meaning; perhaps Lin Yu just wanted to cheer her up in this way.

Although she had never been in contact with a man, how could she possibly answer such a question?

She opened her mouth as if to scold Lin Yu, but after moving her lips for a long time, not a single word came out.

Lin Yu didn't give her a chance, changing his tone abruptly: "Alright, stop talking. I think I told you I'm a doctor."

Bell paused for a moment: "You mentioned it, but you—"

"I have a way to help you detoxify."

Bell's eyes lit up: "Oh? Use whatever method you have."

"Alright, since you've said that," Lin Yu stood up, walked over to Bell, and squatted down. "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
