Chapter 36 Re-exploring the Mysterious Cave
The first rays of morning sunlight gently streamed through the window and fell on Yuan Bao's face. She slowly woke up and opened her eyes to see the azure sky outside, as blue as a jewel. Her mood instantly brightened, just like the weather.
Today is Sunday. Yuan Bao silently calculated in his mind that after completing his study plan, he would have time to explore the mysterious cave.
Map check-in complete. Attributes added. Basic attributes have been updated to:
Game attributes: Intelligence 25, Stamina 17, Strength 20, Luck 21, Agility 17.
Real-world attributes: Intelligence 11, Stamina 7, Strength 8, Luck 9, Agility 9.
System Notes: For most people, a basic attribute score of 10 is considered A+. For every 3 points gained in each attribute in the game, the corresponding attribute in real life will increase by 1 point.
After a quick wash, Yuan Bao went to his desk, opened his textbooks, and began to concentrate intently on his studies.
With her intelligence attribute increased and the ability to remember everything she sees, knowledge points seem to be actively drilling into her head, and her learning progress is astonishingly fast.
Before long, she had successfully completed her study plan for the day. She then took the initiative to increase her study tasks, completing part of the material to be learned next week in advance before ending her day's study session.
The family finished their dinner amidst laughter and chatter.
She returned to her room, closed the door, and entered the space.
Pack your equipment for the adventure: a sharp short sword, which I carefully selected from the game store, and it will come in handy in a critical moment; a few potions to restore stamina, just in case; and a headlamp and torch for lighting, although some places in the cave have an eerie dim light, they will be essential to light the way in a critical moment.
She opened the automatic navigation function on the micro-map and walked briskly, her mind filled with the mysterious and unpredictable scenes in the cave, feeling both nervous and expectant.
Before long, Yuan Bao arrived at the entrance of the mysterious cave.
She took a deep breath, gripped the short sword in her hand, carefully parted the weeds, and stepped into the cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, a damp, rotten wind rushed towards him, and Yuan Bao couldn't help but shiver.
She composed herself, put on her headlamp, lit her torch, and looked ahead by the light.
The walls inside the cave are covered with strange patterns, as if they were mysterious codes left by time. The path underfoot is rugged and uneven, with small puddles every now and then. When you step on them, water splashes up and makes a "plop plop" sound that echoes in the silent cave, making you feel a chill down your spine.
Yuan Bao slowly made his way along the winding passage, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings. He soon passed the place where he had fought the primary and secondary poisonous mist spiders.
Suddenly, a soft rustling sound came from ahead. Her heart tightened, she stopped, gripped her short sword, and stared intently in the direction from which the sound came.
A group of dark figures suddenly darted out from the shadows; they were a swarm of vampire bats.
These bats, baring their fangs and claws, their eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty red light, pounced straight at Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao's eyes narrowed, and he quickly swung his short sword, drawing streaks of cold light in the air.
She wielded her short sword to fend off the bats' attacks while dodging to the side, using the stone pillars in the cave as cover.
She suddenly realized that her agility attribute was 17 points, which was quite high. Should she learn a movement technique that would allow her to move quickly and have an unpredictable figure?
This will greatly enhance your combat power and self-defense capabilities, making it a piece of cake to deal with these bats.
So he urgently called out to Xiao 9: "Xiao 9, do you have any skills to improve your posture and footwork?"
"My lord, your agility attribute has been increased to 20 points. The shop will now unlock the Spirit Cloud Step and Instant Movement skills."
After hearing this, Yuan Bao secretly regretted, "Alright! I was careless. Now I have no choice but to go for it."
Yuan Bao shouted to encourage himself. After a fierce battle, he finally managed to kill and repel the uninvited guests, earning 100 points.
Yuan Bao let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued walking forward.
However, before she could recover, a new crisis appeared ahead.
A huge spider, its body emanating a ghostly green poisonous mist, slowly descended from the cave ceiling, blocking Yuan Bao's path.
Yuan Bao was startled. The system notification read: "Level 3 Poison Mist Spider. Its venom is extremely potent and it is not afraid of fire. If you are bitten by it, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Little 9, Little 9, come out quickly! This poisonous mist spider is too scary, what should I do?" Yuan Bao hurriedly called out to Little 9.
Little 9 appeared instantly, its round body looking especially cute in the dim light. Its little eyes were fixed on the poisonous mist spider, and it quickly gave advice: "Master, the poisonous mist spider's weakness is under its abdomen. You have to find a way to make it turn over and expose its weakness, but be careful of the poisonous mist it spews out. Don't inhale it."
Yuan Bao gripped his short sword tightly and carefully moved around the spider, trying to attract its attention.
Enraged by Yuan Bao's actions, the poisonous spider lunged at her. Yuan Bao nimbly dodged to the side, simultaneously wielding her short sword to slash at one of the spider's long legs.
The spider, in pain, let out a piercing scream and lashed out with its remaining legs in a frenzied counterattack.
While dodging, Yuan Bao observed the spider's movement patterns.
She discovered that the spider's abdomen would slightly contract whenever it was preparing to spray venomous mist.
Seizing the opportunity, Yuan Bao pretended to dodge to the left, but actually rushed to the right front at the same time, forcefully throwing a stone in his hand behind the spider.
The spider thought there was an enemy behind it and instinctively turned around. In that instant, its lower abdomen was completely exposed.
Yuan Bao seized the opportunity, leaped high into the air, gripped his short sword tightly with both hands, and fiercely stabbed at the spider's weak point on its abdomen.
The short sword pierced precisely, and green sap gushed out. The poisonous spider struggled for a few moments, then collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Yuan Bao gasped for breath, wiping the venom splattered on his face, secretly relieved that he had escaped danger.
System notification: Successfully killed a level 3 Poison Mist Spider, reward 500 points, obtained a level 35 Poison Resistance Cloth Armor, immune to intermediate and lower level toxins, available for sale; complete version of the beginner poison making and poison attack skills, available for sale.
Thanks to good luck, I received an extra premium Heartfelt Net, which can be upgraded and sold.
Yuan Bao was overjoyed to see that he could sell the few treasures he had acquired. He stored them in his bag and continued on his way.
Before long, they came to a fork in the road.
She stopped and carefully observed her surroundings. She noticed some ancient runes faintly engraved on the wall of the passage to her left. These runes emitted a faint blue light, as if they were beckoning to her.
Yuan Bao studied it for a long time but was still completely confused. In desperation, he could only call out to Xiao 9: "Xiao 9, Xiao 9, come out and help me. I can't understand these runes."
Little 9 appeared before Yuan Bao in an instant. Its round body looked especially cute in the dim light. It walked to the wall with cat-like steps, examined it carefully for a while, and then said, "Master, these runes are ancient and mysterious characters that record clues to a hidden chamber. Look, it says to follow this passage and you will encounter a mechanism. Solving the mechanism will lead you to the entrance to the chamber."
