That's amazing survival skills!

Han Miao's hand trembled as she pointed at the wooden house, completely ignoring the pain in her buttocks and the throbbing pain in her abdomen. If it weren't for the clear spring flowing over the rocks earlier, her pants would probably be soaked by now!

"What is it?"

Gu Siyu stood up and looked into the room with a serious expression.

This room was clearly searched by Lin Yuan just now; if there was anything there, he should have found it by now.

When Lin Yuan arrived, she glanced at the dark room and then scanned Han Miao's entire body, noticing five dark lines on her ankles.

It doesn't look like a human finger grabbing directly; the shape is more like the marks left by finger bones gripping.

"Lin...Lin Yuan, there are monsters inside." Han Miao got up in a panic, quickly hid behind Lin Yuan, and clutched his clothes tightly, with two streams of hot tears flowing from her eyes.

"I see."

Gu Siyu took a few steps back to be in the same position as Lin Yuan, turned her head to look at the seriousness on his face, and pouted.

He was easily captured by her feigned weakness.

Hmph! Men!

"You really believe her that much?" Gu Siyu kept tossing the steel pipe back and forth, making a slapping sound as it hit her palm. "Don't forget, her attitude towards you before... wasn't exactly good."

For some reason, seeing Lin Yuan protecting Han Miao made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"I don't believe what she said." Lin Yuan pointed downwards, "but there are marks on her ankles where she was gripped."

Gu Siyu then looked down following Lin Yuan's finger.

Sure enough, five dark marks were seen, intermittent and, judging from the marks, they did not seem to be a staged act by the other party.

"What do you think it will be?"

"have no idea."

Lin Yuan shook his head, glancing across the pitch-black room. By the light streaming through the hole in the ceiling, it wasn't much different from the other houses he had searched before.

A faint rustling sound could be heard from inside, as if something was crawling along the ground.

Something has come out.

Despite being prepared, Gu Siyu's heart still couldn't help but race when she heard the rustling sound. Sweat beaded on her palms, and the steel pipe slipped slightly in her hand.

The sound of her swallowing revealed her outward composure masking her inner tension.

Snapped.

The pale finger bones fell from the corner and landed on the ground, while the body behind them struggled to move outwards.

"This..." Lin Yuan stood there stunned. She had thought it would be some kind of vicious guy, but it turned out to be...

Is this it?

Two pale bones struggled to crawl outwards, a large piece of the skull appeared at the corner, and green will-o'-the-wisps flickered in the eye sockets.

"Did this guy get into a fight with someone before he died?" Lin Yuan asked, pointing to the skeleton slowly crawling on the ground.

The missing bone fragments clearly indicate that the person was struck and shattered by a heavy object before death.

"You still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks." Gu Siyu glared at him fiercely.

Can't we see the crisis right in front of us?

That guy is ugly, not to mention how dangerous he is, yet he still has time to be joking around here!

"What are you talking about?" Lin Yuan shrugged, really not understanding what they were afraid of.

It would be very dangerous if this guy could stand up and run like a normal person.

As for now...

Crawling so slowly like that obviously poses little danger.

"You..." Lin Yuan turned to the two women behind her, pointing to the crawling skeleton on the ground and asked, "Who's coming?"

Han Miao gripped Lin Yuan's clothes tightly and shook his head frantically.

Gu Siyu gripped the steel pipe, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head, "Go ahead."

The danger of this thing is unknown, and she is unwilling to take the risk lightly.

"OK."

Lin Yuan stepped forward carrying a fire axe.

Strategically despise the opponent, but tactically take them seriously.

The skeleton tilted its head back, its jaws clattering together, and struggled to twist its body, trying to rush forward and bite.

Lin Yuan raised the fire axe and slashed down fiercely.

click!

The bones were shattered, and the fire axe was embedded in the floor.

"Hmm?" Lin Yuan pulled out the fire axe, looking at the clean cut of the radius and ulna, without the expected resistance. "Hey, old man, your osteoporosis is quite severe."

quack!

"What kind of gibberish are you speaking? I can't understand a word."

The fire axe was raised overhead, and when it fell, a cracking sound was heard. The skull, which was already missing a bone, shattered into two more pieces.

The green will-o'-the-wisps gradually died down, and the corpses lying on the ground fell silent again.

You have killed a low-level skeleton. Experience +10.

Gu Siyu, standing outside the door, was stunned. She watched as Lin Yuan swiftly and decisively dispatched the skeleton with his axe.

"It's...that simple?"

"I didn't expect her to be so ugly and so weak. I should have just gone for it myself."

"That's fine."

Lin Yuan came out carrying a fire axe, her gaze fixed on Han Miao, who was still holding her lower abdomen. She pointed to the house inside and said, "Go ahead, it's not good to hold it in."

Han Miao's cheeks flushed, and he kept grinding his teeth, making a soft sound.

He craned his neck to peek inside, but didn't move. He looked up at Lin Yuan with an almost pleading expression, "Could you go take another look?"

"I...I'm a little scared."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, almost like the flapping of a mosquito's wings in broad daylight.

"Huh? What did you say?" Lin Yuan feigned surprise, exaggeratedly placing her hand near her ear, and continued, "I didn't hear you clearly just now, repeat it again."

It was intentional!

He definitely did it on purpose!

That damn dog of a man!

"I said, could you please go and check again to see if there are any other monsters inside?"

Being under someone else's roof, Han Miao had no choice but to lower his head and repeat himself, suppressing his anger.

"Oh—!" Lin Yuan picked at her ear, drawing out the last syllable, "Sure, no problem."

"Really?" Han Miao looked up, her big, round eyes brightening slightly. She hadn't expected this man to be so easy to talk to.

But when she looked up and met his gaze, she clearly saw the smile in his eyes and immediately became wary.

He couldn't help but curse himself inwardly for being such an idiot. Was this man really so easy to talk to?

"Really." Lin Yuan smiled happily, beckoned to Han Miao with her finger, and said, "Just call me 'good brother' once."

"you!"

Han Miao's chest heaved with anger. She never expected that this damned scoundrel would so blatantly demand bribes and take advantage of her.

"I'm not begging you! I refuse to believe I can't find a place."

Han Miao turned around angrily and headed towards another house with its door open.

"There might be skeleton monsters in that house too," Lin Yuan said cheekily.

Han Miao stopped abruptly, looking somewhat troubled. He glanced at the house in front of him, then turned around and walked towards the next one.

"That place might have it too."

"Hey, you forgot? I searched before, and a skeleton appeared after I left. Who knows if the one you chose has one?"

"Damn it, that's enough!" Han Miao turned around angrily, her face slightly flushed from the pain, and tears glistening in her eyes.

I just felt that this scoundrel was even more despicable.

Lin Yuan shrugged, thinking that was about enough. He couldn't possibly become the kind of person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes.

"good..."

Ok?

Lin Yuan hadn't expected that just because he wanted to tease her, she would actually have the urge to speak up.

"Come on, I'll take you there."

Gu Siyu couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she grabbed Han Miao's hand and led her directly into a house. They quickly reappeared at the door, leaning against the door frame and waving a steel pipe in their hands.

"Now you should go search." Gu Siyu brandished the steel pipe in her hand, blocking the doorway. "You don't want to stay here any longer, do you?"

"I'm not that perverted."

Lin Yuan shrugged. He was about to hear the woman call him "good brother," but he never expected that Gu Siyu would ruin it.

However, it doesn't really matter much.

Anyway, there's still a long way to go!

They kicked open the door.

Gu Siyu watched Lin Yuan's figure enter the dark room, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She leaned against the door and looked around at her surroundings.

Twenty minutes later, Han Miao walked out looking quite relaxed.

"Thank you... thank you."

If it weren't for her today, she would have been bullied by that scoundrel!

"It's alright, helping each other is the right thing to do."

Gu Siyu waved her hand and continued searching the area that should have been hers. She brushed past Lin Yuan, who had just come out, glared at him irritably, and turned and went into the house without saying a word.

When Han Miao saw Lin Yuan come out, he grinned his teeth, turned around, and walked angrily toward Wang Xi.
