Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

He fell into the pit, and his right wrist, which he always used to hold the gun, and one ankle were broken from the impact. The white bone pierced through the flesh and protruded, and even though he couldn't see it, the immense fear almost overwhelmed him at that moment.

Countless monsters swarmed down from above the pit of corpses.

This is it.

Dead.

He actually died here.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

It turned out that the person who screamed was not him.

A monster landed directly on him, grabbing his leg but before it could bite, it inexplicably let out a piercing scream. Immediately afterward, it emitted an incredibly foul odor, and some sticky liquid dripped onto his feet.

The monsters rained down on him, scaring him so much that he crawled and screamed—of course, this part couldn't be told to Song Yuan and Zhao Meng.

He even forgot to use bandages to treat his hands and feet. It wasn't until he accidentally fired a shot in the chaos that the bullet grazed a solid rock at the bottom of the pit, the sparks giving him a brief glimpse of the bottom:

The monsters that fell down seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, their faces were torn off alive, their muscles and bones separated, and the ground was covered with fragments left after the monsters were torn apart. These fragments were like butter in a pan, making a sound like raw meat being fried in oil, quickly shrinking, turning into black water, and finally emitting a strong stench.

So many monsters just vanished like that.

After calming down a bit, He Xiao used the tools to heal his hands and feet. The shock was followed by ecstasy—he had escaped death. What he thought was a certain death turned out to be so easily avoided!

Is it a safe house? This deep pit must be something like a safe house in the dungeon!

After the initial euphoria came despair: when he was about to leave, he discovered that a barrier had been erected over the pit—a mandatory requirement in the game. For example, when Song Yuan and Zhao Meng were trapped, the barrier in the front yard meant: you are not allowed to go through the front yard, you must go to the back mountain.

The meaning of this barrier is also quite clear: he must find some clue at the bottom of the pit or meet some condition before he can get out.

Asking someone with an IQ of 60 to do this? Isn't that ridiculous?!

Not to mention he's too lazy to even use his brain.

He Xiao was already very impatient after speaking, and felt he had lost face. He snapped at the two of them:

"Is this working now? What have you figured out? How do we get out?"

Song Yuan was not satisfied with this explanation: "Don't you know how we were teleported here? You weren't just dragged here like this when you entered the mountains, were you?"

He Xiao spat at her: "I already said I don't know! If you bark like that again, I'll shoot you dead!"

He Xiao knew, of course, that Song Yuan and Zhao Meng had been brought here by his god-level props.

He had already used it on Song Yuan when she went to sleep:

[God-tier item: I only wish to die on the same day and in the same year]

[Item Use: To use this item, simply recite the player's ID or real name to bind yourself to that player. The item will take effect by default when you are 5 meters away from that player. When you are in trouble and the player is less than 500 meters away from you, the system will automatically teleport the player to your side.]

Whether used to help teammates or to sabotage enemies, this item is an essential choice for every player!

Therefore, when Song Yuan stepped into the back mountain area, the system determined that the distance between Song Yuan and He Xiao was less than 500 meters, and that He Xiao was currently experiencing drowsiness, which is why it forcibly teleported her over. Qiao Ran grabbed Song Yuan's wrist, and the system considered the two as one, so she was also pulled over.

However, He Xiao definitely couldn't tell Song Yuan and Zhao Meng the truth. He already doubted Song Yuan's loyalty to him, and it would be terrible if she harbored resentment after hearing it.

Song Yuan frowned—she didn't believe what He Yong said.

Her sleeve was tugged again. Qiao Ran pinched her wrist with two fingers, positioning her hand with her palm facing up, and wrote on her palm with her index finger:

"Use him to find a way out first."

His item reserves have been depleted by the monster; once you get close, you can kill him.

Because handwriting input is too troublesome, Qiao Ran used English for some words, but it did not affect her understanding.

"Have you figured out how to get out of here yet!" As Qiao Ran was writing, He Xiao, gun in hand, approached them from the direction of the voice. "Speak! Don't try anything funny!"

After Qiao Ran finished writing, Song Yuan quickly withdrew her hand and put it behind her back: "You try to get me upstairs first, and I'll try to see if I can get out."

He Xiao thought Song Yuan was playing a trick on him, and immediately yelled, "I told you we can't get out, we can't get out! What's the point of trying!"

Song Yuan insisted, "Not necessarily. Maybe I've unintentionally met some specific condition and can now come and go freely."

He Xiao cursed under his breath, calling him crazy. But Song Yuan's words made some sense; they had ventured into scenes he hadn't been to, so perhaps they could travel through them?

So, though extremely unwilling, He Xiao still agreed.

The pit walls were too slippery; it would be difficult to climb out on your own without help. He Xiao had to crouch down, extend both hands, let Song Yuan step onto one of her legs, and then forcefully toss her upwards.

A cold wind swept through her hair. Song Yuan stretched out one hand in the air, raising it as high as possible—just as she reached the top of the pit, Song Yuan curled her fingers, making a groping motion:

But her fingertips didn't touch any obstacle.

She landed steadily, and He Xiao eagerly rushed over to ask her how she was doing:

"Tell me quickly! So, did you get through or not?!"

Song Yuan lied earnestly: "No, it seems we'll have to think of another way."

This barrier didn't work on her at all?
