Chapter 29: Underground Mine

[Miya’s Mark]

Quest Item

Item description: Miya secretly made a mark when she was captured by an unknown enemy.

Chu Qi pushed aside the bushes in front of him. In the forest in front, there were some weak lights scattered around.

This was it. Miya’s markings. With these markings, he could find Miya’s location.

Chu Qi summoned his nether wolves and let them spread out to protect his surroundings. Relying on the unique telepathy between the Summoner and the summoned beast, Chu Qi’s field of vision instantly increased by several times.

The various markings in front of him also became exceptionally clear, drawing a path in front of him.

.

Chu Qi brought Liang Yuan and ran forward. The surrounding environment gradually changed from a forest to a dense forest of rocks. After walking for a while, the markings gradually disappeared, and the surrounding trees became fewer and fewer. The rocks occupied most of the area.

At this moment, an unexpected person appeared. On the rock, a girl lay motionless on the ground, on her last breath.

From afar, Chu Qi thought that an NPC character was waiting to give out a mission. Only after walking in did he realize that this person was a player!

It was strange. Even if a normal player couldn’t take it anymore, they would still go offline on the spot instead of fainting on the ground. This player was clearly a player, but he had the characteristics of an NPC.

The girl’s ID was Yan Luoran. Chu Qi had heard of this name in his previous life. She was the commander of the southern warzone and had 500,000 human warriors. Unfortunately, she died under the sneak attack of the Void Worms.

However, Chu Qi had never seen this person’s true appearance. No one would expect that under this fierce name was a delicate and cute girl.

Chu Qi took out the Purifying Potion from his bag and used it on the girl. Under the blue light, the girl’s eyes kept trembling and she suddenly opened her eyes.

“Ah! Pervert!”

A cold and sharp sword slashed towards Chu Qi’s head. A shadow flashed past, and the Cold Iron Sword hit the ground with a “ding”.

“Lunatic, I saved you!” The moment Chu Qi saw Yan Luoran attack, he flashed to the side.

“Nonsense. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you squatting in front of a young girl like me. If you’re not a pervert, then what is? Die!”

The fighting stance on Yan Luoran’s hand disappeared, and the elegant sword technique was mixed with ordinary attacks. One could tell at a glance that she had learned martial arts from a young age.

If this was in real life, Chu Qi might not be able to last more than three moves. However, in a game, with his powerful attributes and techniques, Yan Luoran’s attacks could not break through Chu Qi’s defense at all.

The surrounding nether wolves received Chu Qi’s orders and pounced forward to control Yan Luoran’s body, making her stop moving.

“Can we have a good talk now? You fainted here yourself. I used a purifying potion on you before you woke up. Naturally, the first person you saw was naturally me.”

Yan Luoran’s flailing limbs stopped, and her face flushed red. Clearly, she had not thought of this just now.

He slapped away the dust on her body and silently followed behind Chu Qi, not saying a word.

Chu Qi didn’t care about her reaction. He ordered the nether wolf to leave and continued to search for Miya.

They arrived at a steep stone mountain. Vines grew smoothly from above, and the tall mountain blocked the path ahead.

On the stone wall was a cave hidden by vines. The way it was hidden was flawless in front of wild beasts, but it was still too simple for a human.

At least Chu Qi saw through it with a single glance. The skeleton warrior waved the machete in his hand and chopped off all the vines. A cave that only allowed one person to pass appeared.

Yan Luoran, who had been secretly following behind Chu Qi, also crawled out and directly entered the cave.

“Brother Chu, should we be worrying about her. She ran in by herself.”

“She’s stronger than you. Don’t worry about it.”

Chu Qi’s words made Liang Yuan speechless. He could only lower his head and remain silent.

“Ding! Enter the special dungeon [Underground Mine].”

Yan Luoran had already disappeared. There were too many forks in the cave, so it was difficult to find a single person.

“Brother Chu, are you related to the game designer? Why do you encounter good things everywhere? You even discovered a special dungeon.”

Liang Yuan felt that this world seemed to be leaning more towards Chu Qi. He had encountered all the good things that were beneficial for the players, regardless of whether they were hidden professions or special dungeons.

“I was just lucky. Just lucky. Let’s enter the dungeon.” Chu Qi laughed lightly and did not answer.

The various ores scattered on the ground in front of him were scattered on the ground, and a long trail of someone being dragged stretched all the way to the deepest part of the cave.

The further down he went, the bigger the space around him became. When he reached the lowest level, his surroundings were so big that dozens of people could already stand in there. The road did not extend downwards, but there were several forks that led in all directions.

Waves of sounds were heard. The skeleton warriors were immediately summoned and scattered around Chu Qi to defend against unknown enemies.

“Wu la la ~”

A big-headed creature half the height of a man walked out of the darkness, holding a flute in its hand. Behind him were dozens of snakes, all of them staring at Chu Qi with their tongues out.

Monster Introduction: The underground living creatures have powerful reproductive abilities. Many special species were born under the huge population. In addition, these creatures also have the strange habit of kidnapping young human women.

“Wow, wow, wow, wow.” The short-legged demon shaman didn’t attack immediately. Instead, he spoke in a language he didn’t understand to Chu Qi.

After talking for about two to three minutes, the short-legged demon shaman saw that Chu Qi still had no reaction and directly ordered his snakes to attack.

Without Chu Qi saying anything, the three arrows had already firmly stabbed into the head of the short-legged demon shaman. The surrounding snakes also dissipated with a bang.

“Isn’t this too weak? With this level of skill, how could he kidnap the companions of the city guard?” Liang Yuan watched as this seemingly hard to deal monster was directly taken away by Chu Qi’s summoned creature with three arrows. He heavily doubted the value of this dungeon.

“This is just the beginning. Of course, they’re all relatively weak. However, the stronger monsters ahead can’t handle me either. Go and find Miya.” Chu Qi waved his hand casually, not taking these small monsters seriously.

As he searched through the forks one by one, Chu Qi encountered many dwarf shamans. They were all killed by the skeleton archer and Liang Yuan.
