What does it feel like to have a noise maker whispering in your ear?

Lin Ling didn't know how other people felt, anyway, she felt annoyed enough.

It annoyed that she had the urge to use the system and stuff it directly into this person's mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many interesting things about this guy, Lin Ling would have already dumped this guy named Xia Xiaoyu in the cave and let him live and die.

"I said, what's your name? I don't know your names yet. Xia Xiaoyu was held on Lin Ling's shoulder, and a pair of eyes blinked and stared at the system floating in the air, as if he had completely forgotten what happened before Lin Ling held his neck with a bone spear.

She asked in a rambling voice, her mouth never stopping from the first time they met.

In the end, Lin Ling couldn't bear it anymore, threw the person to the ground in one fell swoop, and walked forward without looking back, "Go by yourself." ”

"Huh? Wait for me! ”

The system continued to float, looking at Lin Ling, who was walking straight forward, and then at Xia Xiaoyu, who couldn't keep up with Lin Ling's pace because of his physical fitness, and after a slight pause, he remembered Lin Ling's advice, and followed the footsteps of his host ruthlessly.

[Host, don't you wait for her?] Although it was clear that the "human" named Xia Xiaoyu was completely abnormal, the system couldn't help but ask Lin Ling questions.

"Leave it alone." Lin Ling walked straight forward, staring at a few red dots on the map, estimating the distance at this time, "That thing has already identified us, no matter how we go, she will follow." ”

The system keenly noticed that Lin Ling's name for Xia Xiaoyu was "that thing" instead of "that human", and guessed that Lin Ling might have made a discovery, [Host, have you found anything?] 】

"Now is not the time to say it, I'll tell you when it's safe later." Lin Ling tilted her head slightly, glanced behind her, and saw Xia Xiaoyu still hanging behind her.

However, her speed was now close to that of a normal human sprinting, and the apparently sick girl was still following steadily.

The system also noticed this, and the advancing ball shook and nearly fell from the air.

Fortunately, Lin Ling, who was on the side, caught it and hugged it back into her arms.

[Just leave her alone? 】

The thought of an unknown danger following the host because of himself made the system feel a little remorseful, and at the same time regretted his rash sympathy.

"Who's to say it doesn't matter?" A smile appeared on Lin Ling's face again, and the corners of her mouth showed an unnatural arc, "I want to see how long that thing can be loaded." ”

As she spoke, she never stopped under her feet, and she continued to go deeper and deeper without hesitation following the twists and turns of the tunnel.

This tunnel is much smoother and wider than the passage into the cave, and there is no danger except for the rubble under your feet, and the slightly loose rubble.

But the same tunnel also seems a bit long, and you can never see the next location as you move forward step by step.

Good thing there are maps to use.

As soon as she stretched out her finger, a small map appeared in the upper right corner of Lin Ling's field of vision, and the icon on it represented her origin point had reached two-thirds of the way through the tunnel.

However, the most interesting thing on the map is that the red dot representing Xia Xiaoyu is not only very large, but also marked with a "very dangerous" sign.

She had expected this, and continued to look at the map, and saw that the dense red dots were concentrated in front of the tunnel.

The monsters are much denser than in the caves.

[Host, there is a rift zone ahead, be careful about falling. 】

A faint glimmer of light came in from the front, and the brilliant colors made Lin Ling think of the cave for a moment.

She stopped, looking.

After that, the person who had been following her behind him didn't have time to pull the brakes and hit Lin Ling's back.

"It hurts!" With a cry of pain, a high school student was crouching on the ground, covering his reddened forehead.

Xia Xiaoyu felt like she had hit a steel plate, and her head was dizzy, "What are you made of, why are you so hard, hiss...... Hurt! ”

The fingers inadvertently touched the swollen bag on her forehead, making Xia Xiaoyu take a breath of cool air, she squinted at Linling, who had never looked back, and then looked at the system that ignored her, a little angry.

Lin Ling didn't even glance at it, ignoring someone's muttering, and took out the bone spear and walked out of the tunnel.

The tunnel is connected to a steep rock wall, with only a few rocks protruding from the wall covered with stone curtains, making it difficult to settle down.

Underneath this is a deep and narrow valley floor, where countless stalagmites are arranged in a staggered manner.

The scenery is very similar to the original cave, whether it is the stalagmites or the stalactites at the top, they exude a strange color that is indescribable.

However, it is not at all like an environment where these wonders can be formed.

There was no moisture in the air, but it was very dry, and the stone mantle that should have been hard had also turned into powder at Lin Ling's touch.

She rubbed her fingers and looked at the gray-white dust on them.

Apparently there is more than one anomaly, and there is a good chance that the structures are also a little strange, even fragile.

She looked up and saw the gecko monsters on the stalactites, each hanging upside down in the air, unresponsive.

After a little confusion about whether these creatures were geckos or bats, Lin Ling retreated into the tunnel.

"Why don't you go? It should be dangerous here, right? Xia Xiaoyu didn't quite understand Lin Ling's actions, "Let's go out early." ”

She looked a little frightened, as if they had cast a great shadow on her when she saw the monsters.

Compared with Lin Ling and the system, Xia Xiaoyu seemed to be more eager to leave here.

Naturally, her expression attracted the attention of two inhuman creatures who had been secretly observing her.

Lin Ling stretched out her left hand slightly sideways and made a "please" movement, "Come, you go first." ”

The system silently glanced at its host, and consciously turned its body sideways.

When he saw the powder stuck to Lin Ling's hand, the system also knew the unknown danger, and rushing to it in a state where he didn't even know the situation was really looking for death.

"Huh? Forget it, I'm so weak, I'll die alone in the past. Xia Xiaoyu shrank her head and glanced to the side in embarrassment.

And Lin Ling's response to this was also a soft voice, "Really? ”

Looking at Xia Xiaoyu's vivid emotional performance, Lin Ling's curiosity about her became a little stronger.

If she hadn't picked up some crystal fragments and identified the high concentration of abnormal factors contained in it through the eating of the body, she would probably have believed that this little girl was just an ordinary high school girl.

It's just a pity that I can't watch a monster fight.

Lin Ling sighed mentally and turned her head towards the system, "Just now I looked at the environment and there was a lot of something wrong, especially those stone mantles, the system had better analyze and confirm the ingredients." ”

Grab a handful of white ash from the nearest stone curtain and spread it out in front of the system.

The blue light fell on her hand, and pop-up windows visible only to Lin Ling and the system kept popping up from the white ash, showing the structural components inside.

Hydroxyapatite ...... Calcium carbonate......

[Yikes! 】

Columns of ingredients were presented in the pop-up window, and when a partially active protein finally popped up, Lin Ling's movements paused slightly, and the system quickly retreated a distance and hit Xia Xiaoyu's body, attracting the latter's puzzled gaze.

Xia Xiaoyu didn't understand the actions of these two non-human creatures.

"Human bones." Simply making such a judgment, Lin Ling sprinkled the white ash into the rift, looked at a few things like insects wrapped around her fingertips, and pinched and exploded.

She didn't know why she remembered the original cave, which was just as gorgeous as this one, but there were countless bones piled up at the bottom of the river.

Lin Ling noticed that no matter what she did, even now the gecko monster was still quietly hanging upside down on the stalactite, as if sleeping.

She squinted, noticing that the monsters' sucker feet had melted deep into the stalactites, and some of them had shriveled up.

And not only that, but the number is also extremely incorrect, the red dots on the map are dense and numerous, and the gecko monsters on the stalactites are at most double digits.

So where are the rest of the monsters?

Lin Ling picked up the gravel on the ground, and threw it casually to hit a gecko monster without causing the other party's reaction, and the shriveled body only shook and stopped moving.

Looking at the gecko monster's feet that melted into the stalactites, she suddenly thought of something, and a look of sudden realization suddenly appeared on her face.

[Host ......? it! What are you going to do?! 】

When the system adjusted its mentality and just lifted up, he saw Lin Ling taking a piece of flesh from his right arm with one hand and throwing it onto the stone curtain.

It froze in place.

Even Xia Xiaoyu was also frightened, looking at Lin Ling's terrifying move in a completely sluggish manner.

"Of course it's an experiment?" Lin Ling smeared the blood-colored ointment of unknown ingredients on the wound in front of the two, causing the wound that was gushing black mucus to form a scar, "Otherwise, what do you think I want to do?" ”

The expression of course resurfaced on her face, Lin Ling was a little puzzled why the system was knowingly asking, and after being puzzled, she saw that the strip of meat hanging on the stone curtain was gradually shrinking, so she no longer cared.

Is it really a reaction to meat?

Looking at the flesh that had completely disappeared from the stone curtain, she thought with her chin propped up.

She felt the slightest urge to test with her right hand, but she restrained the crazy thought of having to scrap another arm.

But that doesn't explain the pile of bones in the stream in the first place......

In Lin Ling's opinion, those corpses had different movements, and they obviously died with the ability to move, or even died suddenly, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain those different postures.
