Wu Xie stared blankly at Ling Xiao, seemingly still not having recovered, while the fat man looked like he had seen it all: "Hey Lingzi, that whip of yours is pretty useful!"

Ling Xiao glanced at Wu Xie and then at Xiao Ge, picked up a wet wipe to wipe their faces, and checked them for any wounds. He replied to Fatty, "It's not very effective. We'll need to improve it when we get back. Are you alright?"

The fat man smacked his lips: "Just a minor injury. And who the hell is this place? Why are there so many monsters?"

Seeing that everyone seemed to have some injuries, but fortunately none of them were serious, Ling Xiao suggested that they treat their wounds here first, and added, "I think they look like they've been locked up here."

"What did you find?" the young man asked.

Ling Xiao then voiced his suspicions: "Sea monkeys are skilled at digging and climbing, so why are they so quiet here? Since there are tunnels here, they should be able to get out from here. Yet they're gathered here. Judging from the group of sea monkeys outside, this isn't their base. But they don't go to the Forbidden Woman's area, and the Forbidden Woman doesn't come here either. Isn't that strange? Or is it that the Forbidden Woman and the sea monkeys can't eat each other?" He really wanted to see the Forbidden Woman and the sea monkeys fight!

"Maybe they're gender-specific? Like male and female restrooms and dormitories," Wu Xie said.

Ling Xiao nodded: "That makes sense!"

"What? You actually agreed to such an outrageous idea?" The fat man looked at Ling Xiao in surprise.

Ling Xiao said blankly, "No way, maybe it really is because men and women are different." After all, it's an experiment, and distinguishing between genders is very important.

The young man nodded as well. Only when the fat man's injury was mentioned did the matter come to fruition. He nodded as well, though he didn't understand. But if he didn't say anything, no one would know that he didn't understand.

Ling Xiao glanced at Wu Xie, and seeing that Wu Xie had no questions, Ling Xiao frowned and said, "But isn't it strange that they didn't run away? Is it that they didn't want to run away? Or that they couldn't escape?"

Wu Xie became curious after hearing this, picked up a flashlight to investigate, and discovered another entrance: "There's another entrance here?"

Wu Xie wanted to go in and take a look, but Ling Xiao stopped him. Ling Xiao threw the sea monkey's head in, and the sea monkey's head was instantly gnawed into a skull by the little insects.

Ling Xiao was genuinely uncomfortable; he had trypophobia... Wu Xie's face instantly turned pale, and he swallowed hard: "Ling Zi is right, there really is something restricting their movement. What is it?"

The young man looked at the insects on the skull and said, "They look like mantises."

"Such a small praying mantis?" the fat man asked in surprise.

Ling Xiao felt something was increasingly off, but perhaps this was what made it fun, wasn't it? He couldn't let his arrival change everything, could he? This was what made things interesting.

"It looks like a mantis to me!" I have to say, Wu Xie's common sense is really strong, and his eyesight is exceptionally good!

Ling Xiao decided against watching it; those things were flashy and densely packed, too disgusting, not even as good as corpse beetles...

"Do you know what this thing is afraid of?" the fat man asked.

"I don't know, this thing should be from Africa, how did it get here? Aren't praying mantises afraid of birds?"

"Damn it, I'm asking if it's afraid of fire!"

"How should I know! But we can't set a fire, we're running out of oxygen! Let's look for another exit!"

"I want to go in!" the young man said firmly.

"No, bro, we'll be out of here soon, and there might even be another way!" Wu Xie advised.

“I know, but I need to get in.”

"No, what if you go in and lose your memory? Then everything will be meaningless." Wu Xie had a premonition that something must exist behind this cave entrance.

“I’m different from you. For you, this is just a bizarre experience, but for me, it’s a knot in my heart.” The young man seemed to have thought of something, and his attitude was beyond question.

“Then let’s go!” Ling Xiao said.

"Are you crazy? Do you want to be eaten by bugs?" Wu Xie was at his wit's end, seeing that he couldn't stop Xiao Ge and now Ling Xiao had arrived.

The young man nodded, seemingly having figured out a solution, and reached for his knife. Ling Xiao knew the young man was about to bleed again, so he said, "Young man, if you were going alone, bleeding wouldn't be a problem, but there are four of us now. I don't need it, but the other two will." Ling Xiao's meaning was simple: it was a matter of blood quantity. He needed to smear blood on himself, and then bleed again to enter the cave. How much blood would be enough for him?

The young man pondered for a moment, but still decided to take the bloodletting route. Ling Xiao stepped forward and took a step with his left foot: "Kun character - Frozen for a thousand miles".

The cave quickly began to freeze, and the mantises instantly turned into ice blocks. Ling Xiao felt his mental energy decrease, his mind became unclear, and he began to see double.

"Wow, Lingzi! So you can do more than just set things on fire!" The fat man's eyes sparkled as he looked at Ling Xiao as if he were looking at a treasure.

The young man thanked him, and Ling Xiao nodded, but he never looked up: "You go first, I'll cover the rear."

The three nodded to each other. Since Ling Xiao's voice sounded normal, they assumed there was something wrong with Ling Xiao's technique and went into the cave.

Ling Xiao watched them enter the cave, then squatted down and ripped off the tape on his ankle, revealing the bell. The bell would cause Ling Xiao pain whenever it rang, and he would only expose it as a last resort.

Ling Xiao also entered the cave. As the bell rang and he felt the coldness under his feet, Ling Xiao's mind became clearer, but he was still not in good condition. He was just forcing himself to stay awake.

As the group walked out of the area, Wu Xie noticed a dark figure flash by ahead and, thinking it was his third uncle, exclaimed, "Wait! There's someone ahead!"

The young man shouted, "Quick, after them!"

The three immediately gave chase. Ling Xiao was already exhausted, so he decided to walk slowly behind. When Ling Xiao arrived at the road, he found the person lying on the ground, disheveled, wearing a tattered diving suit, covered in blood, and emitting a foul smell. However, Wu Xie recognized the person as A Ning at a glance.

Wu Xie was actually quite fortunate. If it weren't for Ling Xiao, they would definitely be in even worse shape now. Although he was injured, he was treated in time. He looked at the fat man, who was a bit dirty, but his face was clean and there were no wounds exposed. His feelings of goodwill towards Ling Xiao continued to grow.

Ling Xiao looked at A Ning, who was being pinned to the ground by the young man, and felt a strong urge to do so, but he tried his best to restrain himself and told himself that he absolutely could not do it!

Just as Ling Xiao was struggling with his own thoughts, the younger brother said, "Something's wrong with her!"

"Something's definitely not right. I insulted her so badly and she didn't even react. Normally, if I said anything sarcastic to her, she would have kicked me already," the fat man muttered.

Wu Xie looked at her and said, "Did you secretly go all out? You've completely stunned her!"

"What a load of bull! Do you think I'm the kind of guy who would argue with a woman? If you don't believe me, just ask him. If I leave a finger mark on him, I'll write my name backwards!"

"Isn't the character '王' (wang) upside down still the character '王'?"

"Stop arguing! Don't worry, she's fine, just a little confused." The young man snapped his fingers at Ah Ning again, but Ah Ning didn't react at all.

Seeing her like this, the fat man said, "Could it be that she saw something and got scared out of her wits?"

"That woman is ruthless and vicious. Look at what she did to me. Is she just pretending to fool us?"

Ling Xiao couldn't resist any longer, so he took out a wet wipe and started wiping A Ning's face... After wiping, he still seemed unsatisfied, so he wiped A Ning's hands, then took A Ning's hands and smoothed her hair, wiped A Ning's hands again, and finally wiped his own hands before he was satisfied.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, then at Xiao Ge, and found that Xiao Ge was also looking at them. Wu Xie said, "Ling Zi, do you have mysophobia?"

Ling Xiao shook his head: "No, it's just that girls are more conscious of their image."

"Let's take her out of here first! This isn't a solution. We need to take her back to a hospital to get her checked out. If this continues, she'll be in danger," the young man said.

Wu Xie nodded and, together with Fatty, helped A Ning up. After taking a few steps, Wu Xie asked again, "Did you hear anything?"
