Chapter 155, Wait 2 days first
Guo Yu recalled the night his sister had given him a new fishing net and, with a smile, used the family motto to persuade him not to give up hope easily. His eyes instantly reddened. He closed his eyes and, after a long pause, continued, "Since Sister Bai said it so solemnly, I believe that no matter what the circumstances, she would never willingly walk into someone else's clutches to commit suicide. Therefore, this He Feihong is definitely suspicious!"
Guo Yu's statement left everyone speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.
A moment later, Han Weiyi asked again, "Since you don't believe me, have you asked him? Didn't He Feihong welcome you to talk to him? Have you asked him?"
Guo Yu: "No. I don't know what methods he used to deceive everyone, but I'm sure he must have a well-thought-out plan. I know my own limitations and I'm not very smart. I was afraid that if I talked to him, I would be brainwashed like those other people, so I simply didn't go."
That makes sense. Lin Yue had already ended up on a floating island by some twist of fate, so she naturally couldn't join the fun of the treasure map. But after listening to Guo Yu's explanation, she also felt that Zhou Zeyang's suggestion was correct.
What the treasure actually is remains a complete unknown, but it's always best to be somewhat wary of He Feihong. In this perilous world of survival, even blaming him is better than being unwittingly tricked.
After learning the whole story, Lin Yue temporarily abandoned the idea of collecting the summons and decided to wait two days to observe the situation and wait for things to calm down before making any further decisions.
Fearing that others would worry, she didn't tell anyone about her current situation. She simply asked in the small group chat if anyone would keep an eye out for her if a summons was issued, and then left the group chat.
Knowing she might not be able to return to her platform anytime soon, Lin Yue started thinking about finding a place to stay. She had an automatic tent in Plants vs. Zombies, so finding a safe place to rest wouldn't be a problem.
While it was still light, Lin Yue immediately got to work.
Her first choice was a cave, especially one that reeked of a large wild beast. If the beast was dead, that would be ideal; but if it was still alive, Lin Yue was quite willing to try her luck.
After all, she now has the third-tier wolf king Bai Shuang and the fourth-tier black panther Xuan Ye by her side, plus her endless stream of plant companions. She feels she has enough strength to take down a big guy. At that time, she can not only live in someone else's "house" for free, but also use the aura of wild beasts to scare away other monsters in the dark. It's a win-win situation.
Moreover, Lin Yue's current experience points have reached 2973, just a little short of the 3000 experience points needed to level up to level 4. Lin Yue also wants to reach the maximum experience points as soon as possible, so that she can be rescued at any time in case of any problems, and she will feel more at ease.
Bai Shuang's skills are really useful. Although she just experienced a small mistake, Lin Yue still decided to entrust it with the important task of finding the cave.
Bai Shuang is a very competitive little guy who is happy to take any opportunity to show off his strength. As soon as he heard Lin Yue's instructions, he immediately put his resentment towards the monkeys behind him and started happily "Awoo Awoo" again.
A few minutes later, Bai Shuang returned with good news. On a hillside not far from them, there was a cave that perfectly met their requirements. According to the little animals who came to deliver the message, the cave had originally been the lair of an extremely ferocious creature, but that creature hadn't appeared for several days, and they didn't know if it was still inside.
The other small animals usually run away from that big guy, so no one dared to go and investigate, which was perfect for Lin Yue and her group.
Since all the conditions were so suitable, Lin Yue naturally changed her route without hesitation. She and Xuan Ye followed Bai Shuang along the rugged mountain path for about half an hour, and finally saw the legendary cave on a hillside.
The cave was wide open, just like the scenic grottoes Lin Yue had visited before. It was completely unobstructed, and even the path was compacted by footsteps, giving off a "welcome" vibe.
Lin Yue instinctively became more alert. She gently patted Bai Shuang's head beside her and asked in a low voice, "Bai Shuang, can you smell what kind of animal's burrow is in here?"
White Frost proudly tossed its fur and said with an air of arrogance, "Of course, let me go and take a look." With that, it strode confidently into the cave.
But after taking only two steps, Xuan Ye grabbed him with his tail.
"You stinky cat, what are you doing?" Bai Shuang's attempt to be cool failed, and she was furious. She glared at Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye remained unmoved. It dragged the White Wolf King back and then gently tapped Bai Shuang's head with its tail, right where Lin Yue had just tapped it. Its voice was as calm and deep as ever: "There's something inside!"
"what?"
Lin Yue and Bai Shuang quickly stopped and stood at the cave entrance, listening quietly. After a while, they still couldn't hear anything from inside the cave.
Bai Shuang leaned closer to the ground and sniffed, then was so overwhelmed by the stench that she couldn't help but sneeze. But even so, there was still no reaction from inside the cave.
Bai Shuang looked at Xuan Ye with a skeptical expression and asked, "You stinky cat, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Did I make a mistake?" Xuan Ye glanced at it sideways and asked calmly. Lin Yue thought that Bai Shuang was going to argue with Xuan Ye again, but to her surprise, this time it rolled its eyes and thought for a moment, then shut its mouth and didn't say anything more.
It seems Xuan Ye's strength is indeed undeniable, even his "arch-enemy" Bai Shuang acknowledges it. Lin Yue immediately took out the "Frost Archer" and held it in her hands. Regardless of what was inside the cave, if a battle were to break out, she planned to freeze the opponent with the "Frost Archer" first, giving Bai Shuang and Xuan Ye a chance to strike first.
Bai Shuang and Xuan Ye also became serious. Bai Shuang tensed all her muscles, ready to attack at any moment; Xuan Ye lowered his body slightly, his eyes flashing with vigilance. The man, the wolf, and the leopard walked side by side, slowly heading into the cave.
The moment they entered the cave, they activated almost all their senses to the maximum, trying to catch any slight movement.
Although the cave entrance was wide open, the smell inside was many times stronger than what she could smell outside. In addition to the nauseating stench, Lin Yue also faintly detected a trace of blood, as if a fierce battle had taken place. This mixed stench made her feel nauseous.
