However, it is now almost certain that things like stone curtains do not react to cloth or metal products.

Lin Ling glanced at her left hand, the silver-white paint on it had not been corroded in any way, and even the light path exposed between her fingers did not appear to be defective.

This is enough to explain the dietary preferences of the monsters hidden in the mantles and stalactites.

Otherwise, when she stepped out with her shoes on, stepping on some sediment like the stone mantle, she would be eaten away.

"You ......" Xia Xiaoyu was still staring at Linling's wound, looking at the obviously sunken skin, and swallowed saliva, "Aren't you in pain?" She unconsciously touched her arm, goosebumps broke out.

Her question was still not answered by Lin Ling, who started a discussion with the system without even giving a straight eye.

In a state of being completely ignored, Xia Xiaoyu was not discouraged, but came to Lin Ling's side one by one, and was pushed away by Lin Ling's face.

"What do you think, use the explosion to lure out the monster body under the stone curtain, and then I will kill it?"

[But host, can you guarantee that the geological structure here can withstand it?] And have you forgotten how your two arms were scrapped? The system floated to the edge of the tunnel, leaned out slightly and quickly retracted.

"What then?" Spreading out her hands, Lin Ling was quite helpless.

The body of the unknown carnivorous monster is hiding in the sediment with the appearance of a stone mantle and stalactite, and it will take most of the time just to find them one by one, which is absolutely unacceptable to Lin Ling.

There is no time limit for the novice task, and Lin Ling doesn't mind spending a little more time here, but in her heart, she still hopes to get a certain number of virus spores as soon as possible to verify whether she can achieve her goal.

"Why don't you ......" Xia Xiaoyu, who came over again at some point, poked Linling's waist and raised his hand, "Try it with temptation?" ”

Although Xia Xiaoyu didn't understand most of the conversations between Lin Ling and the system, she still saw the scene of Lin Ling's flesh being eaten on the stone curtain, so she also had some guesses about the monsters mentioned in the conversation between the two.

Seeing that the little girl opened her mouth and wanted to speak, Lin Ling subconsciously reached out and wanted to press her face to push her away, but was then stopped by the system.

[Tell me how to seduce?] The system would like to see what this unknown life creature thinks, and maybe there will be a breakthrough, but it still distances itself a little bit to be safe.

Just a little.

Lin Ling looked at the system hiding behind her, was slightly stunned, and then grabbed the system's body and dragged it in front of her, and was still facing Xia Xiaoyu who was looking this way.

【？？？ 】

Regarding the questioning gaze from the system, Lin Ling only shrugged her shoulders and said not to be too cowardly.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a guy who didn't know if it was a human being, the system would really want to hit its own host's jaw.

"Aren't the monsters you mean eating meat? Wouldn't it be okay to lure them out with meat? Xia Xiaoyu didn't notice the confrontation between the system and Lin Ling, but picked up the gravel and drew it on the ground, "Look at those gecko monsters, there are basically no traces of struggle hanging on them, it's just like hanging on yourself." ”

Draw the general scene inside the rift, and Xia Xiaoyu marked some notes with arrows.

The picture is simple and easy to understand, many things are simply presented, and some places that the system and Linling have not paid attention to are also marked.

This made Lin Ling a little different from a high school student.

"And if they are preyed upon contact with the rock wall, why don't they hang from the stone curtains that droop along the wall, but from the stalactites above?"

Xia Xiaoyu pointed to the picture and looked up at Lin Ling.

After being silent for a while, Lin Ling also found that this was something she hadn't noticed, and after thinking about it, she said, "So you mean that these monsters are all controlled?" In other words, is it affected by what is in the sediment? ”

"Yes."

[Then how do you guarantee that the monster is not voluntary?] The system broke free from Lin Ling's hands and asked Xia Xiaoyu, [It is very likely that these creatures are a group, maybe they are voluntary, aren't they? 】

The system doesn't know how likely it is that Xia Xiaoyu said, but its natural character has always been reluctant to take this risk, especially after it caused "people" such as itself to be entangled by Xia Xiaoyu because of its rash sympathy, it resisted this risky conjecture even more.

"But how do you know if you don't give it a try?" This time, Xia Xiaoyu no longer squatted on the ground, stood up directly, and confronted the system without even caring about the dust on the school uniform.

[But this is ......]

"System." Lin Ling stared at the mark on the ground, "Try it first." ”

The picture is covered with various annotations written by Xia Xiaoyu, and even the exits that cannot be seen from the current perspective are also drawn.

No matter how good Lin Ling's vision is, she can't see the stalagmite at the bottom of the rift, let alone the invisible passage directly below the rocks.

And if she remembered correctly, it seemed that the creature named Xia Xiaoyu had never stepped out of the tunnel into the rift valley to observe a single glance since just now.

So it's really intriguing......

Secretly looking at a certain high school student, Lin Ling continued to ask questions, "Tell me what you plan to do." ”

Hearing Lin Ling's question, a joyful emotion appeared on Xia Xiaoyu's face, and she glanced at the system defiantly, "We can use meat as bait, place it in those places that are not covered by sediment, and then tie a rope and pull it over when the monster bites the hook to solve it one by one!" ”

A proud look surfaced on Xia Xiaoyu's face, and he looked like "praise me".

[Isn't this just fishing? 】

"How do you make sure it's one bite and not a big pack? And where does the meat and rope come from? ”

When Lin Ling just asked this question, she saw Xia Xiaoyu take out a lump of meat and a long rope out of nowhere and hold it in her hand, and Zhao Linling, who was smiling, smiled, "Look, isn't this it?" ”

The fresh pieces of meat were grabbed by Xia Xiaoyu in his hands, and drops of bright red blood were dripping from above, and the red and white meat balls were also twitching from time to time.

Looks pretty fresh.

At this moment, Lin Ling's pupils shrank at the same time as the system's eyes.

The system subconsciously retreated, and the body trembled uncontrollably.

But Lin Ling quickly clenched the bone spear, her body tense and ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.

"What's wrong?" Xia Xiaoyu, whose hands were covered with blood, still tilted his head to look at the actions of the two as if there was nothing abnormal.

She didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with her at all, and still walked towards the system and Linling.

Drops of blood fell at her feet, slowly flowing down her footsteps.

The system unconsciously hid behind Lin Ling again, constantly shaking her body, seeing Xia Xiaoyu's appearance, and finally mustered up the courage to lean out of her body, [How do you take it...... Not! 】

Before it could finish its question, it was covered by its own host.

Seeing Lin Ling with a smile on her face, she took the meat ball and rope from Xia Xiaoyu's hand, "It's nothing, I'm just surprised that you are so well prepared." ”

Blood stained the long rope red, and the liquid that was gradually losing its temperature slid down Lin Ling's fingertips, leaving a bright red mark on the smooth metal skin.

【Host! With a low shout, the system felt like its control center was almost freezing.

When Lin Ling took over the meat ball, it was in a high state of tension throughout the procedure. even had the illusion that Xia Xiaoyu would turn into a monster and swallow her in one gulp the next moment.

Lin Ling gave the system a reassuring look, and indifferently used the blade of her arm to cut the meat into several pieces, and at the same time turned her head and shouted to Xia Xiaoyu beside her, "Come and help." ”

"Good!" Xia Xiaoyu, who was still a little confused, suddenly became energetic, happily squatted on the ground and tied the meat pieces to the rope.

Lin Ling stepped aside and stared quietly at the back of the high school student.

The smile disappeared from her face.

She didn't know the specific situation of Xia Xiaoyu, whether her body was a creature who really thought she was a human and was ignorant, or a fearless human-skin monster who thought she was well disguised, she couldn't judge until she lacked enough information.

But according to her work experience, if it is the latter, it will be quite troublesome. Breaking the creature's self-cognitive deception without preparation will usher in a very terrifying event.

This is also the reason why Lin Ling stopped the system from saying that sentence in the first place.

She looked at the system's expression with a question mark, and knew the latter's doubts, but she could only wait to solve them when she left here.

After all, the environment here is quite unfavorable for dodging.

"That's it!"

When he shook his head, the piece of meat tied with the rope was held in front of Lin Ling by a pair of hands.

Xia Xiaoyu smiled, and the smile on her face was as innocent as at the beginning.

The [......] system hid behind Lin Ling, and the little face composed of three symbols was full of vigilance.

Its body was still trembling, but the mechanical arm condensed in the air was ready to move at any moment.

Lin Ling grabbed the rope and swept her gaze over Xia Xiaoyu to the raised rock outside the tunnel, "Then where do you think it is better to cast next?" ”

Even when she saw someone's "begging for praise" expression, she selectively ignored it.

"Or just there." Pointing to the relatively high rock, Xia Xiaoyu suggested, "The terrain over there is just parallel to here, and the angle of view is better, so you can observe the way the monster eats." ”

"Okay." Saying that, Lin Ling didn't think much about it, and stepped on the rope with one foot and threw the meat piece with one hand.

Anyway, if Xia Xiaoyu wants to make trouble, it won't cause much trouble to her, and at most she will lose a body.

Thinking like this, Lin Ling's mind was also a little offset.

Afterwards......

With a "chirp", the pieces of meat hit the rocks like mud.

【……】

“……”

The system and Xia Xiaoyu looked at Lin Ling at the same time.

"Accident...... It was a real surprise. Lin Ling touched her cheek with some embarrassment.
