[System Notice: Congratulations to players for completing the "Challenge Mission (8) - Dangerous Monsters" and receiving the mission reward "80 Challenge Coins, 800 Experience Points.] 】

[System prompt: The fear of dangerous things is a kind of human instinct, only a strong-willed person can overcome fear and face danger, the player has a strong heart, which is worthy of praise. 】

[System Prompt: The player's level is upgraded to level 13.] 】

When Lu Xi put down the bow and arrow in her hand, the muscles of her arm were still trembling, although it was not effortless to pull the bowstring, but she kept tensing the muscles of her whole body for two hours.

As soon as I relaxed, my whole body was about to lose control.

Glancing at the system prompt, Lu Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said it quite easily, overcoming fear with a hammer.

Did she look like she had overcome her fears?

I don't know if it's a psychological reason or something else, when Lu Xi approached the range of these three highly poisonous monsters, a sense of oppression that made people breathless appeared on Lu Xi.

Every time she shot an arrow, it was as if a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows were staring at her, eerie and terrifying.

That pinprick-like sight, overlapping one pair at a time.

If the sight could be turned into a physical object, Lu Xi felt that he might have to become a sieve.

But the strangest thing is that Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao don't have this feeling like Lu Xi, and even if they go around several times, they don't find the source of Lu Xi's sight.

Hunting is not troublesome, one doesn't even take two minutes, and the territory of the three poisonous monsters is also very close, if it weren't for Lu Xi's own reasons, she should be able to complete the hunting task in only one hour.

However, no matter what, she finally completed this task, and Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the ninth challenge task.

[Challenge Mission (9) - Underground Mine: The sky is late, the night is charming, I heard that there is such a spring in the underground mine, around the spring, you can see clearly without lighting, please go to the underground mine, before 11 o'clock in the evening, find out the mystery of the source of the underground mine spring. 】

[Reward: 90 Challenge Coins, 900 Experience Points.] 】

Ha??? Lu Xi looked at the content of the mission again, and confirmed that the task was for her to find out the "mystery of the source of the underground mine spring vision", not that the amount of mining × 100 or something.

No, what kind of challenge is this...... Is it so capricious?

The front is full of various time-tight tasks and heavy quantity requirements, how did it suddenly become a "puzzle-solving" task here?

The deceptive nature of the new challenge mission successfully confused Lu Xi, and even the feeling of weakness in his body that was weak in his legs and hands dissipated.

The time limit for the mission was until eleven o'clock, but Lu Xi knew that she had to complete it before ten o'clock.

"Don't stay outside the farm after 10 p.m." It is a reminder given to Luxi by the resident NPCs of multiple farms.

Outside of the farm, this area naturally includes underground mines.

didn't have time to think about those messy things, Lu Xi hurriedly asked Mao Hao to take her to the underground mine.

At the same time, from the depths of the backpack, I turned out a mining suit that I got when I did the mission before, and equipped it all.

Just in case, Lu Xi gave Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao a piece of fine white bread each, and the negative state immunity effect for an hour also saved any problems in the underground mine.

The source of the boutique white bread, in addition to the few in Lu Xi's backpack, there is also the event shop exchange for the challenge mission, although Lu Xi can give the status to Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao to renew the fee when needed.

Lu Xi spent 5 challenge coins to exchange for advanced trap kits before, and now there are 355 challenge coins, so it's still okay to spend a little.

Take out the "portable searchlight", "helmet" and "heater", and Lu Xi put on the equipment that can be equipped, such as a helmet, and can be worn directly on his head.

Then pick up the props that need to be "carried", such as "portable searchlights" and "heaters", the shape of portable searchlights is easy to understand, similar to the shape of the element lights, or in fact, it is a copy of the shape of other people's element lights.

The heater is very similar to the small electric heater on the earth, a piece more than half a meter high, you can heat it by plugging it in, and the temperature is quite high.

But the heater given by the game system doesn't have plugs and wires or anything like that, only a handle on the top that can be carried, which looks like a hand suitcase.

The weight is also unexpectedly lightweight, anyway, Lu Xi is easy to carry and effortless.

Because the backpack grid of the system is relatively scarce, Lu Xi put some of the items that are not commonly used and are relatively small in size into his contract package, and then stuffed the contract package into the system backpack.

The perfect nesting doll.

Normally, a contract package can't be put into items with the same effect, but the system backpack doesn't have this problem at all, which also shows that the game system is definitely higher than the otherworldly elemental magic weapon in terms of priority.

There are three levels of underground mines, and the further down you go, the worse the environment becomes, the more negative status you will cause, and you will need to equip more special effects clothing.

Fortunately, the spring mentioned in Challenge Mission (9) is located on the first floor of the underground mine, and the first layer only has a "cold" environmental effect, and the heater carried by Lu Xi is enough to solve this problem.

Although several of them have already eaten fine white bread to maintain their state, the props still have to be prepared, in case that state disappears.

Moreover, although there is a miner's lamp for lighting on the walls on both sides of the underground mine at intervals, the whole is still very gray, which makes Lu Xi, who is used to the bright light outside, very unaccustomed.

Portable searchlights don't talk about other effects, and the brightness is still very impressive.

Xiao Yuan followed Lu Xi like the left and right protectors of the Dharma, and since he found out that the two of them could help him when he was doing tasks, Lu Xi preferred to take the two of them with him.

After entering the first floor of the underground mine, Lu Xi habitually clicked on the system map and looked at it, the last time she came here to do a mission, she met the miner Kuf, who was in the southwest of the underground mine, next to a large underground lake.

And that underground lake is actually the target of Lu Xi's trip, because the spring is in the middle of the underground lake.

Or should it be called an underground spring? However, looking at the area, Lu Xi thinks it should be more appropriate to call it an underground lake.

And this time, Lu Xi was unexpectedly not so surprised, he didn't see the character mark of Miner Kuf.

Maybe the miners have to leave work at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Without saying much, Lu Xi climbed directly behind Mao Hao and flew over with Mao Hao on his back.

Compared to the last time, Miao, who has a lot of insight into flight technology, can already fly around in the narrow terrain of underground mines.

Although because of a little mistake, I hit the wall once.

But it still saves more than half of the time compared to Lu Xi's own rush.

Entering the middle of the underground lake, Lu Xi was instantly attracted by the beautiful scenery in it, and he was stunned for a long time before he was disturbed by the sound made by Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao.

When he turned around, he found that Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao had each taken out tools to mine on the walls around the underground lake.

The view of the underground lake is not affected by the two of them at all.

The location of the underground lake is somewhat like a semicircle that has been pulled out of the mountain, and the whole thing on it is like a button off the lid of a pot, but it is tightly shielded to avoid the possibility of moonlight penetrating and lighting.

Underneath is the irregularly shaped lake with its edges, occupying the middle eighty percent, with only a few flat areas around it that can be used as footholds.

The entrance of Luxi is the largest footing platform, and opposite the entrance, there is a steep stone wall in the form of a step, a small spring appears on the stone wall, and the water flowing out falls into the underground lake.

Luxi is attracted to the spring water that flows like a clear moonlight, and the water surface that seems to emit fluorescent light like a delicate jewel.

As the system introduced, Lu Xi obviously didn't see any objects that might be illuminated here, but the light here could be compared to the night outside.

You must know that the moon in another world is also a sphere that can emit light, although the brightness is not as bright as the day, but the items at some distances can still be seen clearly.

Lu Xi rushed by many times at night.

So, why is there no source of light around the underground mine springs, but it can still produce this effect of being "illuminated"?

Lu Xi walked around the platform around the entrance several times, but still couldn't find a clue, the stones here are not like the outside, some weeds and plants that grow are not functional.

Lu Xi couldn't help but put down the things in his hand, squatted on the edge of the underground lake, looked under the water, and tried to study the reason from the lake.

There is a phobia called deep-sea phobia, and the main symptom is to see the surface of the water or the bottom of the sea at a certain depth, which produces an inexplicable fear.

Most humans feel this way, but the most important thing is that the "imagination" of human beings is at work, because they think of all kinds of terrible things that will happen, so they are afraid from the heart.

In fact, what I am afraid of is what I imagine.

As soon as Lu Xi squatted down, after seeing his reflection from the sparkling water, he said in his heart that it was not good, no one knew how deep the lake was and what was under the water.

Lu Xi is another person with a rich imagination, and he has thought of various scenes in his mind.

Including but not limited to, "a thigh-thick water snake suddenly popped out from the bottom of the water, bit his face, and dragged himself into the lake", "a three- or five-meter cannibal shark suddenly jumped out of the water and opened its mouth to swallow itself", "I didn't stand firm and suddenly fell into the lake, and there were a bunch of piranhas waiting to eat me, "suddenly something pushed me behind my back and pushed myself down into the lake and drowned, and there were piranhas, water snakes, and big sharks in the lake" and so on.

Then the movement was a little slow, and he reached out and took a handful in the lake to check, and he couldn't see the fear in his heart at all.

How to say it, Lu Xi is afraid, but this does not affect her actions, fear and reason actually exist in her mind.

Just like when he was in college, Lu Xi used to go to watch ghost movies with his classmates at night, and he didn't go back to the dormitory until after 11 o'clock in the evening.

It's okay to say it normally, but six or seven girls, just after watching the ghost movie, were startled, the street lights just flashed, and several girls ran back to the dormitory crying wolves, and threw several bags.

And Lu Xi has been walking slowly behind them, and he also took out his mobile phone, turned up the flashlight lighting, and picked up the dropped bags by the way.

After returning to the dormitory, everyone said that Lu Xi was bold and not afraid of ghosts, and no one knew the time when the street lights flashed for a few seconds, and Lu Xi had already thought of all the "horror storylines" he could think of.

But those things didn't happen, so Lu Xi was able to control his behavior rationally while being afraid.

Just like in the last challenge mission, Lu Xi was obviously full of fear, but he still persevered in completing the task.

Fear is not a factor in Operation Luxi.

"There's no problem with the water, so why on earth?" Lu Xi muttered to himself, wiped his wet palms, and looked at the spring on the opposite stone wall.

The game system doesn't give a way to get there, which means that most of it has nothing to do with the fountain itself.

However, Lu Xi didn't believe in evil either, so she called over to Miao, who was mining around the entrance, and asked Miao, to take her over to take a look.

"Dong Dong" knocked twice on the stone wall, and Lu Xi reached out to the spring and took a handful of water.

Except for some ice hands that are too cold, there is nothing special about it.

"...... here," Lu Xi frowned and thought for a moment.

"It should be good to use ice watermelon in summer."

It's a pity that it's almost autumn now, and the weather isn't that hot, but it's a pity that it's a good place to be.

Well, Lu Xi really didn't see anything wrong from here.

Back at the entrance, Lu Xi looked at it again for a long time, and even took a look at every grass, but she still didn't find the reason.

When I came back to my senses, an hour had passed.

Lu Xi could only comfort himself, did you see it, Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao have already mined so many mines, this hour is not a waste.

"So, what's the problem?" Lu Xi squatted on the edge of the lake and pulled the water, causing ripples.

She had gone from the top of her head to the sides, looking at everything she could.

"All that's left is underwater."

Lu Xi thought about the possibility of going into the water by herself, not to mention whether she had a swimsuit or not, the key question was that she didn't know how to water.

The deepest water she ever went down was when she touched clams in the village river as a child, and the deepest water was as deep as the roots of her thighs...... She was six years old.

Moreover, the water of this underground lake is extremely cold and biting, although it is not frozen, it is by no means something that humans can bear.

Maybe those elemental warriors can? After all, they are not ordinary people anymore.

But there was less than an hour left, and where did Lu Xi go to find the elemental warriors.

"Plop" A huge figure suddenly fell into the water, and the splash fell to Lu Xi's feet.

Lu Xi looked up suddenly, only to see a bright red tail tip sinking into the water.

Lu Xi stood up suddenly, "Wet! ”

Hahahaha watching ghost movies and going back to the dormitory is my personal experience.

The boldness in the eyes of outsiders is actually very scared in the bottom of their hearts.
