Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

The bottom of the Blackwater Cave.

The endless, chaotic crossroads and the dark caves, with their occasional rustling sounds that make one dizzy and disoriented, coupled with the "bewildering Gu" used by Aguda, meant that even a fully armed scientific expedition team would have no chance of getting out.

It's been seven days.

Their third squad has been trapped for a whole week!

Without the food and water that Song Ruyu took out from her personal space.

It seems that they were all trapped and killed by Aguda!

「哦～～♬出卖我的爱，逼着我离开，最后知道真相的我眼泪掉下来……♬」，阿骨打欠揍地哼着一曲爱情买卖。

"It's awful! Fuck you, stop singing!" Shangguan Yunyao gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Aguda transformed into a wisp of black mist, drifted in front of her, and chuckled, "Oh dear, you're already crying!"

Shangguan Yunyao: ...

The "Bewitching Gu" is small in size and possesses collective intelligence. It can "simulate" the appearance of its host, which is why Aguda was able to become a floating "black shadow" and follow behind them.

They had absolutely no way to deal with Aguda.

Unless someone can find his true form, but in the Blackwater Cave where directions are indistinguishable and there are forks in the road everywhere, how difficult is it to find the manipulator's true form?

At the same time, the "Bewitching Gu" will release powder with hallucinogenic and fatigue-inducing effects for an extended period of time.

Fortunately, the "Bright Lamp Gu" that Shangguan Yunyao raised had the effect of dispelling the hallucinogenic powder of the Bewitching Gu...

Song Ruyu gently covered her chest with her delicate white hands, a faint light shining in her eyes.

My heart is pounding...

It wasn't the usual heartbeat, but an "intuitive" heartbeat.

Someone is coming.

Who could be coming?

Her intuition told her it must be that bastard, womanizing jerk, yet inexplicably irresistible blond guy.

Suddenly, muffled footsteps echoed from a distant cave.

"Oh! It's the little mice." Aguda raised an eyebrow. "Ghana~ you guys take your time, I'll come back for you in a few minutes~"

After saying that, he floated to the top of the rock wall and disappeared as a cloud of black mist.

But everyone knows that he will be back soon.

After all, this has happened more than once.

"Prepare for battle! Everyone! Immediately!" Song Ruyu's upturned lips disappeared, reverting to her cold, icy codename, "Snow Lotus."

Beep beep beep beep—!

From the darkness emerged a swarm of rats, each over two meters tall, with bloodshot eyes, sharp claws, and dark yellow front teeth.

A rough estimate suggests there are at least a dozen!

Those monsters are called "Giant Naked Mole Rats," and they dug out the extensive underground passages in the Blackwater Cave.

These "giant naked mole rats" are very xenophobic and extremely aggressive!

However, their weakness is also obvious: their noses.

Just attack the nose.

They will then fall into a brief state of paralysis, becoming completely vulnerable to attack.

Ora ora ora!

The third squad is quite strong, with most members being superhumans skilled in both strength and technique. They are adept at hand-to-hand combat, and can easily defeat rats the size of buffaloes, especially since they know their weaknesses.

Many people even cracked jokes while playing.

Finding joy in hardship is the first-order weapon of the human spirit.

Hu~hu~

Suddenly, one of the bearded team members caught a glimpse of a thin, black ghostly figure flashing through the depths of the passage.

Upon closer inspection, however, nothing was found.

He scratched his large beard in confusion, only to find his head sinking down on its own. Then, a warm liquid sprayed onto his hand, but he only felt that his hand was very cold...

pat...

The headless corpse of "Big Beard" lay limply on the ground, its head rolling to the floor. A teammate, who had his back to him and was joking around, laughed and teased:

"Old Hu, why aren't you replying? Could you be dead?"

"If you die, I will take care of your wife and daughter..."

He turned around, his smile froze on his face, and deep fear welled up in his eyes.

"Old Hu?"

whoosh-

Another fierce slash struck, and "Old Wang's" head flew off, crashing into the wall and rolling away.

whoosh-

Song Ruyu stood frozen in place, a sharp whistling sound ringing in her ears.

However, even faster than that slash was an invisible spatial fluctuation.

—Time Rewind: The Loser Eats the Dust!

……

Everyone in Baixian Village devoured their food.

Fortunately, before coming, he had packed a lot of food in his personal space just in case.

Otherwise, there really wouldn't be enough to feed the entire population of Baixian Village...

Shangguan Yunyan held a large chicken leg in each hand, gnawing on it with grease dripping from her mouth. Her little face was full of happiness as she nestled in Jiang Ling's arms, swinging her fair and tender legs.

Ring ring ring... Ring ring ring...

In Baixian Village, girls wear a silver ring with a bell on their ankle from birth until they are twelve years old. This is both for aesthetic purposes and a tradition passed down from their elders—the sound of the bell indicates that the child has not gone far.

"Alright, stop lingering in your brother's arms!" Shangguan Yunque said, picking up his younger sister immediately after his bath.

"Go and take a bath with Yunyan and the others!"

"Eh..." Shangguan Yunyan nuzzled against Jiang Ling's chest and said, "Then, let the prince give Yunyan a bath..."

"My brother gives Yan Yan lots of delicious food, and he's so handsome, gentle, and considerate. Yan Yan loves my brother the most..."

Shangguan Yunque: (⩌⤚⩌)

You damn sister! You actually tried to steal my man!

"Hurry up!"

"Oh..." Shangguan Yunyan nodded obediently, wiped her mouth, stood up, looked at Jiang Ling, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Then, brother, after Yunyan finishes her bath, she must continue to lie in your arms!"

"Can this spot be reserved for Yan Yan?"

Jiang Ling: ᡴ⁽˶ᵔᴗᵔ˶⁾ꪫOK!!

A-mei is so cute~

Of course, Jiang Ling only found them cute; it was an instinctive fondness for human babies...

Shangguan Yunyan ran out with a jingling sound.

"Brother Ling~ I want a hug—!" Shangguan Yunque instantly dropped her stern demeanor and threw herself into Jiang Ling's arms.

He took the seat that he had just promised to give to Yunyan without any hesitation.

Then she lifted her delicate white foot and gently swung it, causing the silver bells on her ankles to jingle.

Silver bell rings were also worn on her fair and slender ankles.

666, old man pretending to be young!

Jiang Ling: Wearing something on your ankle is a great invention by humankind!

After being affectionate for a while...

"Yun Que, in the third team, there's a captain codenamed 'Snow Lotus.' Do you know where she is now?"

"Uh, 'Snow Lotus'...?"

Jiang Ling frankly stated, "One of my wives."

Her swaying little white legs suddenly stopped, and a hint of confusion flashed in her big eyes.

Shangguan Yunque: "Huh?"
