Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 108, Bat Swarm

Lin Yue had just taken a curious look when the treasure map that had been floating quietly above her head suddenly seemed to be triggered by something, and it lit up brightly, the light so dazzling that Lin Yue couldn't help but squint.

Before Lin Yue could react, the treasure map suddenly jumped down and fell straight into the cave, disappearing instantly.

Lin Yue was shocked and quickly jumped down after her.

Fortunately, the cave was not deep, only about three or four meters deep, and it would not cause any real harm to Lin Yue, whose physical fitness had been greatly improved.

What's strange is that this cave seems to be a completely different world from the lava above. She used to rely on the white light of the treasure map to resist the high temperature, but even though the white light of the treasure map has disappeared, the surrounding temperature is still within a tolerable range.

Although it was still a bit warm, compared to the scorching heat of the lava outside, it was practically "cool".

But Lin Yue didn't have time to investigate what was going on; her top priority was to find the treasure map as soon as possible!

Lin Yue was extremely anxious. She searched the nearby caves for a long time before finally discovering that the treasure map had obediently shrunk back into her bracelet bag, as if it had completed its mission of leading the way and could rest.

As long as nothing was lost, Lin Yue felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She breathed a long sigh of relief and, guided by the faint red light from the cave entrance above, slowly made her way deeper into the cave.

The cave was much larger than Lin Yue had initially imagined. After walking slowly for a while, the red-glowing cave entrance above gradually receded behind her, getting farther and farther away, until even that faint ray of light completely disappeared.

At this moment, the scene in front of her had turned completely dark. Just as Lin Yue was thinking about whether to take out a torch from her backpack to light the way, the bracelet on her wrist vibrated again.

Han Weiyi: "Sister, where are you? We've arrived."

Zhou Zeyang: "Sister Lin Yue, we saw Huang Wenmin and his group. They're furious at the entrance of the volcano. It sounds like they lost you."

Lin Yue smiled slightly, wanting to check her location, when she suddenly remembered the scorching lava above. Han Weiyi and the others didn't have the Wings of the Sky or a treasure map; how to insulate themselves from the heat was a problem.

As she was pondering how to reply, she saw another message from Liang Dong: "Lin Yue, we just inquired about some information."

Many people know the destination of this treasure map, but only two have collected all the map fragments. One is Zhao Yuxuan, and the other is a man no one recognizes.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yue pondered to herself that if she wasn't mistaken, the other person must be Lin Chenguang.

Liang Dong continued, "It is said that a synthesized treasure map can only allow one person to enter the cave. Zhao Yuxuan went down in the morning, and another person just went in not long ago. All the people who wanted to sneak in with him were thrown out of the volcano, and they were all covered in dust and dirt, and many were injured."

Liang Dong was talking about serious matters, so no one interrupted in the group chat. After reading the message carefully, Lin Yue quickly told everyone, "I've also collected all the treasure maps, but I didn't come in through the entrance. I accidentally fell in. It's relatively safe now, so you don't need to worry."

After seeing Lin Yue's message, the people outside seemed to discuss it for a while. After a while, Zhou Zeyang spoke up on behalf of them: "Sister Lin Yue, please be careful. We probably won't be able to go in to help you."

He thought for a moment, then became optimistic again, and continued, "But with those plant babies as your helpers, there won't be any problems. We're waiting for your good news!"

Lin Yue smiled slightly, replied with a simple "okay," and then focused her attention back on the dark road in front of her.

Knowing that Zhao Yuxuan had gotten off before her, Lin Yue was afraid of alerting him, so she no longer had the idea of ​​taking the torch.

She groped her way forward in the darkness, carefully avoiding any potential obstacles with her keen senses. After walking for more than ten minutes, a faint light appeared ahead.

Lin Yue stopped abruptly, a flicker of wariness in her eyes. Since there was light, logically speaking, it was highly likely someone was there. Perhaps it was Zhao Yuxuan who had lit the torch?

She gripped the two daggers in her hands, narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then took out a bottle of apple juice from her backpack.

Apples make a really crisp sound when you bite into them; apple juice is much more convenient and quick. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Jinxuan. If it weren't for the fact that she has trouble chewing, Lin Yue wouldn't have even considered making the apple into juice.

Lin Yue tilted her head back, brought the bottle to her lips, and finished the whole bottle of juice in a few gulps. The sweet juice slid down her throat, and Lin Yue immediately felt much better.

After her energy was fully replenished, Lin Yue took out two "carnivorous plants" and put them in her bracelet backpack.

Of all the plant babies she currently owns, the "Man-Eating Flower" can be considered a rare melee weapon. It is especially useful in one-on-one combat, as it can swallow any target with a defense of 40 points or less whole.

Moreover, each of its bites inflicts a high damage of 40 points. If the attacked party cannot find a way to break through the man-eating petals and escape before their health is depleted, they will be slowly ground to death, just like Li Guang before.

After making all these preparations, Lin Yue slowly lifted her foot and continued walking forward gently and cautiously. Each step she took was very light, and her eyes were fixed on the front. However, halfway there, she discovered that what was in front of her was not Zhao Yuxuan as she had expected, but a strange-looking stone statue.

The stone statue's surface was covered with various strange patterns, quite similar to those Lin Yue had seen on the rocks along the roadside before. The light that attracted her was coming from the statue's eyes.

Lin Yue was secretly surprised and slowed her pace even further.

However, just as she stepped into the light's range, the previously motionless stone statue suddenly and slowly opened its mouth. Then, from that gaping maw, bats shot out like a fountain.

The bats were jet black, with red eyes, and they were incredibly fast, surging out of the statue's mouth at an astonishing rate of almost one bat per second.
