Chapter 344 Narration

Thanks.

Lin Xiyue smiled slightly, thanked Ling Yeye, and accepted the candy he offered without hesitation.

She gently peeled off the colorful candy wrapper, and an enticing mango aroma instantly wafted out.

"Mmm! It's mango flavored! I love it! (?′▽｀)??"

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her face full of delight.

The mango-flavored candy instantly cheered her up.

"Hmm, I'm glad you like it. Shall we walk and talk about your experiences?"

Looking at Lin Xiyue's excited expression, Ling Ye couldn't help but smile and said softly.

He noticed that Lin Xiyue's condition had improved significantly, so he made a suggestion.

"Okay. Sweetie, let's go. I promised I'd take you home, okay? (????)"

Lin Xiyue readily agreed. She stood up, dusted herself off, and then smiled as she extended her hand to Guai Guai, speaking gently.

When Guai Guai heard Lin Xiyue's words, her eyes immediately lit up, like two bright stars.

She happily placed her hand on Lin Xiyue's outstretched hand and held it tightly.

"Okay! And my master too! (＾?(I)?＾)"

The little creature's voice was full of anticipation and joy. It looked up at Lin Xiyue, its eyes revealing a longing to go home.

"Yes, and your master too, we'll all go back together."

Lin Xiyue sensed Guai Guai's expectation, so she nodded and solemnly assured Guai Guai again.

"Okay! (*^▽^*)"

Guai Guai cheered happily, her voice clear and melodious, as if the whole space was infected by this joyful atmosphere.

And so, Lin Xiyue and Ling Ye led Guai Guai, carefully making their way forward along this place that was not originally a pool.

During this time, Lin Xiyue also recounted her general experiences to Ling Ye.

Just as Ling Ye had guessed, after waking up and finding herself trapped, Lin Xiyue did not hesitate to use her abilities and successfully escaped from her predicament.

As for what that ability was, Lin Xiyue didn't elaborate, and Ling Ye didn't ask either; it was clearly a personal secret.

Similar to Lingye, she also discovered that dark and eerie corridor.

However, unlike Ling Ye, Lin Xiyue has a deep understanding of the unique perspective of other races.

Therefore, in her eyes, the recessed mechanism was like a firefly in the dark, appearing particularly obvious.

As she stepped into the corridor, her keen observation skills allowed her to quickly locate the hidden mechanism. Then, just like Ling Ye, she fell unsuspectingly into the space below.

However, unlike Ling Ye's experience, Lin Xiyue did not fall into a vast ocean.

Instead, she landed on a slightly elastic cube.

This cube appears to have some special material that can mitigate the impact to some extent.

Lin Xiyue stood on the cube and cautiously hopped a few times on her toes.

With each jump, she could feel the elasticity and support provided by the cube, as if it were a living object, silently responding to her movements.

This feeling was both novel and exciting for Lin Xiyue. She gradually increased the intensity of her jumping, experiencing the unique characteristics of the cube.

As she jumped, the cube seemed to interact with her, its elasticity and support just enough to cushion the impact of her fall, allowing her to safely descend a step beside it.

When Lin Xiyue's feet finally touched the ground, she was able to take a closer look at the entire room.

The cube she had just stepped on stood out prominently in the center of the room.

The cube is a deep green color, like a huge piece of jade, radiating a mysterious and alluring luster.

However, what is even more striking is the viscous-like substance on the surface of the cube, which is flowing slowly and rhythmically.

Lin Xiyue curiously approached the cube and carefully observed the flowing mucus.

Although it doesn't look much different from ordinary slime, when she recalled the feeling of stepping on the cube, she realized that this substance was different from real slime.

It's not sticky at all; instead, it has a smooth and elastic feel.

This cube looks very strange. It is firmly fixed in mid-air by two huge metal arms, as if it is being supported by some powerful force.

The two metal arms looked exceptionally sturdy, with dozens of tubes inserted into them. These tubes were densely distributed on the surface of the cube, giving it an eerie feel.

One end of these pipes connects directly to the surrounding walls, then extends outwards and disappears into the distance, leaving one wondering where they lead.

Lin Xiyue stood in front of the cube, her heart filled with curiosity. She cautiously reached out her hand, wanting to touch this mysterious object.

When her fingers gently touched the bottom of the cube, she suddenly felt a faint vibration coming from her fingertips.

Immediately afterwards, the previously still pipes seemed to be activated, and some kind of substance began to surge. This substance flowed rapidly within the pipes and was then transmitted to the outside through the parts connecting to the walls.

Lin Xiyue was startled by this sudden change. She immediately realized that the cube seemed to be a very sensitive device, and that it would trigger a series of reactions if anyone touched it.

She felt a sudden tightness in her chest, realizing that she might have already been discovered and that someone might have found out she had sneaked in.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyue dared not hesitate any longer. She turned around and ran towards the nearest door, hoping to escape this place as soon as possible.

As she was running away, just as Ling Ye had guessed, she unexpectedly saw Guai Guai, who was being studied and imprisoned, in the chaos.

Guai Guai was trapped in a cage at the time, surrounded by a dozen or so researchers.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiyue rushed over, overpowered the researchers, and rescued Guai Guai.

Then, she continued searching for a way out with Guai Guai, hoping to leave this place as soon as possible.

Then, this place collapsed, water rushed in, and there were those jellyfish.

"So, you're from there too? Well, we're in a bit of a predicament now, we have absolutely no idea how to get out."

After listening to Lin Xiyue's account of her experiences, Ling Ye felt a headache coming on and sighed helplessly.

“Yes, but I think there must be more than one exit here. After all, those researchers aren’t in great physical condition; they can’t just jump back from where they came in, can they?”

Lin Xiyue nodded in agreement and calmly analyzed the situation.
