Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

More than ten minutes later, Xiao Yun pulled the mithril sword from the chest of a charred corpse.

There were no more enemies standing in his way.

[Gained skills...]

After glancing at the pop-up window, Xiao Yun sheathed his sword, stepped over the ashes, and pushed open the church door.

Upon entering the church, he did not search but went straight to the statue of God standing in the center.

Beneath the pristine white statue of a six-winged angel, a pool of clear spring water steams with wisps of mist and shimmers with reassuring fireflies.

"call……"

Xiao Yun walked to the spring, took a deep breath, and felt his restless heart gradually calm down, and the whispers and murmurs in his ears also decreased significantly.

"It really works!"

Xiao Yun's eyes gleamed with joy as he quickly took out a bottle and filled it to the brim.

Before he could even take a sip, Xiao Yun turned around and hurriedly ran out of the church.

Although we went all out just now, it still took more than ten minutes from defeating the enemy to getting the fountain.

Adding the travel time, it will probably take another half hour for me to get back.

"Shen Ze is a tough guy to deal with. With the help of that mysterious being, King Crow and Su Wu probably won't be able to stop him."

"Others aren't as resistant to the Blood Burning as I am, so it'll be dangerous if it drags on."

Xiao Yun's heart sank slightly, and he quickened his pace again.

However, before he could even step out the door, his legs suddenly gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

A soft, shattering sound came from his waist, indicating that the life-saving skill of the [Lake Sword Sheath (Replica)] had been activated.

Xiao Yun then realized that his health had dropped to the critical point and his mana was completely depleted.

Now that they were away from the spring, the noisy whispers and murmurs in their ears rang out again, and the two negative states that had been forcibly suppressed by the Blood and Fire Poem attacked again, even more fiercely than before.

Xiao Yun felt his vision blur quickly, his mind filled with chaotic noises, making it almost impossible to concentrate his thoughts.

"Is his condition already this bad?"

Xiao Yun gave a wry smile, forcefully raised his hand, and wanted to drink a mouthful of holy water to resolve his negative condition.

But after several attempts, he suddenly realized that he was even having trouble controlling his body.

As his consciousness grew increasingly blurred, in the last second before his vision went completely black, Xiao Yun looked at the holy water so close to him and smiled bitterly to himself:

"I should have taken a sip first..."

The next second, his head fell limply to the ground, and he lost consciousness.

A few minutes later, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the church.

In the blink of an eye, a robust figure stood at the church entrance.

Upon seeing Xiao Yun lying on the ground, Su Wu jumped in fright.

"Holy crap! Is he dead?"

Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief after checking Xiao Yun's breathing.

"You're not dead, you're not dead, that's good. What would we do if you died and nobody paid our wages?"

Su Wu let out a long breath, poured a few mouthfuls of holy water into Xiao Yun's mouth, and then carried him as he ran wildly toward the gate of the core area.

"I've been really dutiful in my escort duties, haven't I? No, when Xiao Yun wakes up later, I'll make him provide me with meals for another week... No, it has to be doubled!"

Su Wu muttered to himself, unaware that in the shadows, a certain woman was already grinding her teeth in anger.

"Damn it! Damn it! Why won't this guy die?!"

The woman's screams echoed through the throne room, and for a moment, it seemed as if countless voices were roaring at the same time.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! That guy's a complete waste; he couldn't even stop a bird and an idiot!"

She crawled on the dark ground, tearing her flesh and blood to shreds as she frantically ripped it off.

Beneath their feet, countless writhing flesh trembled in fear, not daring to even breathe.

Meanwhile, on the back of the throne, a core member of the ruins swung his legs, humming a little tune with a smile.

"Ah, this feels so good! I haven't felt this good in years!"

It looked at Xiao Yun, who was unconscious on Su Wu's back, with eyes full of approval.

"Good lad, not bad at all. When you come to the core, I'll give you a big red envelope."

Just then, countless fleshy spikes attacked from all directions, instantly piercing it through.

"Don't get too cocky!"

A smile crept across the woman's lips as she looked out of the core area, her expression growing increasingly crazed.

"So what if we find holy water to suppress the negative effects? Today, no one can escape!"

The core of the ruins, pierced by spikes of flesh, changed its expression drastically:

"You're insane! Once the gates are closed, this ruin will truly become a dead zone, isolated from the world. Your plans, the family's legacy, will all be ruined!"

"Heh, as long as I get that S-class human's body, I can truly control the relics, right?"

The woman sneered, summoned a stone slab that resembled a display screen, and placed her hand on it.

Rumbling--

The entire ruins shook violently, a torrential rain of blood fell from the sky, and the earth cracked, as if the end of the world had come.

Looking at the crowd in the church, the woman's lips curled into a smile:

"Hehehe, our game has only just begun!"

The inner ring of the ruins, the church, and the safe house.

Xiao Yun struggled to his feet, walked to the church entrance, and looked at the suddenly changed world outside, his face somewhat grim.

"That guy flipped the table."

Although they didn't know exactly what the other party had done, their situation was likely to become increasingly dire.

Xiao Yun's heart sank slightly, but looking at the others who looked tired and depressed, he didn't have any good ideas for the time being.

"With holy water to remove negative status effects and the protection of the safe house, there shouldn't be any danger for the time being."

The safe room is absolutely safe; this is a guarantee provided by the system, and it has never failed in the face of various dangers, from the revitalized teaching building to the cafeteria.

"Let's rest first, at least until we're back to normal."

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down among the others.

Just then, he suddenly felt that the gazes around him were somewhat crowded.

Xiao Yun turned his head in surprise and realized that everyone was looking at him with gratitude.

Ji Mingyu and Zhong Mo exchanged glances, patted each other on the shoulder with smiles, and said nothing more.

The girls bowed very solemnly to express their gratitude, and some of them looked at Xiao Yun with such intense gazes that he felt a little embarrassed.

However, Lu Zhi's expression was particularly strange. She was biting her lip, twisting her legs and rubbing them together, her eyes were watery, and her gaze was fixed on Xiao Yun and she couldn't take her eyes off him.

"Could he have fried his brain...?"

Xiao Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he was just about to think of a way to change the subject when suddenly a figure pounced at his feet.

"Thank you so much, Brother Yun, for saving my life."

Wang Tianyuan sincerely kowtowed to Xiao Yun.

Perhaps because the door was opened, he was the most affected. If it weren't for the holy water that Xiao Yun risked his life to bring back, he probably would have really been doomed this time.

Xiao Yun smiled and waved his hand, helping him up and patting his shoulder.

"We're all brothers, there's no need to be so polite."

"But speaking of which, you should really thank King Crow and Su Wu. If it weren't for them, you probably would have been kidnapped by that guy Shen Ze."

Wang Tianyuan nodded, looked at the Crow King, and thumped his chest:

"I won't say anything, Your Majesty. I'll go back and prepare something delicious for you."

"quack!"

King Crow nodded happily, and Wang Tianyuan then looked at Su Wu beside him.

"Hey bro, you..."

Su Wu waved his hand:

"Let's not talk about much else, just treat me to a meal. One meal isn't enough, at least three."

Wang Tianyuan was taken aback, then hooked his arm around his shoulder and burst into laughter:

"Don't just say three meals, I'll arrange thirty meals for you!"

Smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and the tense atmosphere dissipated considerably.

Xiao Yun smiled, found a place to put his sleeping bag down, closed his eyes to rest, and unknowingly fell asleep.

When Xiao Yun woke up, it was already the next day.

"She slept for so long..."

Xiao Yun stretched, and his elbow suddenly bumped into something soft, startling him so much that he almost jumped up.

"Holy crap, why is Lu Zhi next to me?"

Xiao Yun stood there, looking completely bewildered.

A few minutes later, seeing that Lu Zhi hadn't woken up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the Crow King returned, bringing back news from the outside world.

"Sure enough, the gate leading back to the outer ring road is already closed."

Xiao Yun sighed, but wasn't too discouraged.

After a night's rest, everyone has recovered to a near-complete state. With the daily rewards and the three updated warning messages, they should have enough to handle the upcoming crisis.

Seeing that no one else was awake, Xiao Yun first opened the system panel to check yesterday's settlement rewards.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving one day. Today's rewards are being calculated.]

Today, you explored both the outer and inner rings of an ancient ruin, obtaining abundant resources and successfully thwarting the enemy's plot. You slew invading enemies and monsters, and obtained holy water to save your teammates...

Overall rating: 233 points, reward being distributed:

[Congratulations on obtaining 2 Medium Home Expansion Cards, 3 Small Backpack Expansion Cards, 1 Safe House Item Card (48 hours), 1 All-Round Recovery Potion, 5 Equipment Upgrade Cards, 5 Skill Upgrade Cards, 5 Building Upgrade Cards, and 1 Random Teleport Card (10 km)]

"A potion of universal recovery?"

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up. He picked up the potion, checked its effects, and was even more delighted.

"It's actually a Grade B potion! It can fully restore all stats for professionals below the seventh rank. What an incredible ability."

The combination of the all-around recovery potion, the safe house, and the random teleportation card adds another layer of protection to exploring the ruins.

"But staying here isn't a solution either. Compared to yesterday, the negative impact of the ruins seems to be much stronger today."

Xiao Yun frowned slightly as he listened to the whispers in his ear.

Yesterday, under the double protection of the church's holy water and the safe house, he could no longer hear these whispers and murmurs, but they have reappeared today.

"We still need to find a way out as soon as possible."

Xiao Yun sighed softly, put away the settlement reward, and opened the preview information panel.

"Whether we can find a way out depends on you."

Xiao Yun's eyes flashed, and he used the opportunity to search for information first.

[Ding! Today's information has been updated!]

[The core area of ​​the Eternal Blood Relics is fraught with deadly danger during the day today. Do not venture there!]
