Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Seeing the bamboo rat king so anxious, Lin Yue became even less anxious. She first took out the food she had prepared in advance from the insulated lunchbox and tasted a little of each item.

When the bamboo rat king saw her eating like that, it immediately showed a very displeased expression, baring its teeth and waving something at her. However, after a moment, it started sniffing, then sniffed again, and then seemed to be attracted by some kind of fragrance, and scurried back.

Its paws were clenched tightly together, and it actually made a bowing gesture in a very professional manner, with a trace of glistening moisture slowly appearing at the corner of its mouth.

Ok?

It seems that this bamboo rat king is indeed quite intelligent.

However, Lin Yue naturally wouldn't buff a rat whose identity was unknown, or whether it was friend or foe. After buffing herself with various enhancements such as strength, speed, defense, and critical hit rate, she put the food away again and placed it in her bracelet backpack.

The bamboo rat king seemed somewhat disappointed when it sensed that the scent that had been enticing the rats had suddenly disappeared. However, it seemed to remember its mission, so it kept turning back to guide Lin Yue back into the house.

Lin Yue felt that she had done most of the preparations, and now it was just a matter of adapting to the situation and dealing with whatever came her way. Without further hesitation, she stepped inside.

The moment Lin Yue stepped into the stone house, it was as if an invisible filter had filtered out the light, making the originally bright daylight dim and causing her to squint involuntarily.

The air inside seemed heavier than outside, filled with a subtle dampness and coolness, and a faint, almost imperceptible bitter smell wafted into her nostrils.

Before Lin Yue's eyes could fully adjust to the dim environment, she heard a few slightly rapid breaths, accompanied by a faint cough.

Is someone there? Or is it really a trap?

Lin Yue was shocked and immediately dodged and retreated towards the door.

She had only just stepped across the threshold, and logically, she could have simply taken a step back to exit. But just then, the Bamboo Rat King seemed to sense her intention and darted forward, blocking half of the threshold.

Having decided there was a trap, Lin Yue naturally didn't mind stepping on it. But just as her leg was about to hit the ground, the bamboo rat king, which had only been squeaking, suddenly straightened up again and shoved her calf hard.

An unexpected force suddenly struck, and Lin Yue was unable to resist it. She staggered, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.

This bamboo rat king is incredibly strong, completely unlike its size. Lin Yue realized she had seriously underestimated its strength. She braced herself on the floor with one hand, swiftly drew her dagger with the other, gripped it tightly, and glared angrily at the bamboo rat king.

Just as she was about to stand up, a soft sneer came from above: "Heh, little mouse, is this the person you went to so much trouble to bring?"

The voice was slightly hoarse, yet strangely, Lin Yue found it very pleasant to hear, like a wind chime with a small crack, bearing the marks of time, yet possessing a unique charm and allure.

Lin Yue froze in mid-air, her body halfway up. She looked up in the direction the voice came from, and then froze in shock. It was an extremely beautiful woman, with long, flowing hair and a radiant, captivating beauty.

Lin Yue considered herself a pretty girl, and Han Weiyi and Xu Tiantian were both charming and sweet, so she didn't consider herself unsophisticated. However, even if she included all the celebrities she had met in real life, she had never seen anyone with a face like the woman in front of her, a face that made one's breath catch and one's eyes widen at first glance.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like stars, and her phoenix eyes were slightly upturned. At this moment, she was glancing at Lin Yue, seemingly appraising her, yet also with a hint of disdain.

Her nose was high and straight, but her lips were somewhat pale, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth carried a hint of arrogance. A deep purple robe was loosely draped over her body, but it didn't look out of place at all; on the contrary, it made one feel that this was the most appropriate way to wear the clothes.

"Who...are you?" Lin Yue couldn't help but ask in a murmur.

The woman didn't answer, but merely glanced at Lin Yue, her eyes sweeping over her from head to toe. Then she looked at the golden bamboo rat king: "Little rat, are you mute?"

The bamboo rat king seemed to understand her words and began to squeak, waving its arms and legs and gesturing in the air.

Lin Yue looked puzzled, but the woman seemed to understand and let out another soft snort: "Her?"

After saying that, she glanced back at Lin Yue again and continued, "A player who doesn't have a single attribute point over 30?"

The contempt in her tone was obvious, and for a moment, it somewhat diluted the shock of Lin Yue's recent beauty. She was about to frown when she suddenly realized what she meant.

This person could see through her attribute points at a glance, probably because they possess some kind of skill. However, the fact that they disregarded 30 attribute points suggests that they are either far stronger than her or have seen many powerful figures.

Since entering the game, apart from the initial landing point not being ideal and taking a lot of effort, Lin Yue has had a relatively smooth run thanks to the cheat codes in Plants vs. Zombies.

Compared to her friends or other players in Zone 7, she was confident she was among the top tier. But judging from this person's tone, he seemed to disdain her stats. Faced with someone like him, unless you can prove your worth, nothing you say will make a difference.

Who is this person?

Is she a player?

Lin Yue's anger was gradually replaced by curiosity. The bamboo rat king was still talking, while the woman sitting on the recliner looked increasingly grim.

Just as Lin Yue was about to say something, the man suddenly turned to the side, lowered his head, and vomited a mouthful of blood.

how?

Have your own attribute values ​​become so low that it's infuriating?

Lin Yue couldn't help but complain in her heart, but seeing the wooden bucket next to the other person's recliner and her practiced and natural way of spitting blood, she immediately deduced that this person must have been injured for a long time.

Sure enough, upon seeing the man cough up blood, the bamboo rat king became even more agitated, letting out a series of "squeak squeak squeak" sounds, its two little paws waving incessantly in the air, moving so fast they almost left trails of afterimages.
