Chapter 728 Ultimate Notes 3 16
However, a sandbox filled with water presents both a crisis and an opportunity for players; they may drown, but they also have a chance to escape.
She swam towards the edge of the sand table, with Jie Yuchen following closely behind her, and two other girls also going in the same direction.
No one else was clustered together; people were going in all directions.
Everyone swam for a while, then surfaced to catch their breath before continuing. Qin Xuan tried to wait for Xie Yuchen, so he didn't make any special arrangements and just did the same as everyone else.
"Ahhhhhh! Help! It hurts so much!!!"
Suddenly, a scream shattered the peaceful atmosphere.
"What did you find?" Xie Yuchen asked, catching his breath as he surfaced and wiped the water from his face.
Qin Xuan was looking in the direction of the sound; it was from a man not far from them.
When she looked over, she saw that the man seemed to have been ambushed by something; he lost his balance, floated up, and then sank back into the water.
Underwater, nothing could be seen clearly, but Qin Xuan saw a piranha the size of a water bucket on the man's leg.
The fish was biting him relentlessly, and soon it had devoured the flesh of one of his legs in two bites, and then it began to gnaw on his entire body.
After seeing the fish clearly, she answered Xie Yuchen's question: "Let's go quickly."
"Look, there's blood on the surface of the water, it looks like there's something in the water," Chen Jing said loudly.
The one who spoke was the girl who had been following behind them and had struck up a conversation with them before they started climbing the mountain.
“It’s that person’s blood. He must have been injured,” said another girl, Gao Qianqian.
Xie Yuchen glanced in that direction only, then asked Qin Xuan in a low voice, "What is it? Do you know?"
She just said to hurry up, so she must have discovered something.
"Piranha." After saying that, Qin Xuan dived back to the bottom of the water and continued swimming forward.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen was surprised to find such a thing in the water, and he quickly followed.
Seeing them leave, the two girls immediately chased after them.
As for why she followed these two people, Chen Jing could only say it was a feeling; she felt that among the players she met today, only these two were unusual.
Qin Xuanyou, who was at the front, had already sensed a small group of piranhas approaching from ahead, and she took out her dagger.
Getting out from above is indeed quite challenging, but she's seen that getting out through the passage on the ground isn't so easy either.
*
Getting out through the passage below wasn't so easy either.
Hei Xiazi waited until the two of them had dug a hole in the wall large enough for a person to pass through before stepping inside first.
After the three of them went over, they discovered that there was not just one passage, but three.
They randomly chose one path and hadn't gone far when the three paths turned into five. Then they accidentally stumbled into the Spider Cave and were chased by several giant spiders.
"First I was chased by crocodiles, and now I'm being chased by spiders. I'm still too popular, even though I'm blind," Black Bear said with a laugh as he ran at top speed.
Han Qing looked miserable; he didn't dare turn around to look, afraid of being startled by the giant spider and falling over.
"Blackie, what time is it and you're still joking? Hurry up and think of a solution, or we'll all be dragged back to our lair by the spiders."
"Behind me is an eight-legged Black Widow, and I only have two legs. What else can I do but run as fast as I can?"
“We just went through the leftmost passage. Why don’t we lure the spider to another passage?” Ye Ling said.
Han Qing, panting heavily, still worriedly asked, "What if there are snakes or something similar in the other caves, or even something about the size of a spider?"
"Then we have no choice but to rely on luck. When we run out of energy, do you think we can still outrun those eight-legged guys behind us?"
Black Bear also thought it was feasible; if there was really no other way, he would have to blow up all the Black Widows.
The spider was too big; even if I wanted to kill it, it wouldn't be easy. "We're about to get back to the fork in the road. Have you made up your minds?"
Without waiting for their decision, Hei Xiazi turned and ran into another passage.
Seeing this, the two of them didn't hesitate any longer and could only follow, since more people would provide more strength.

At night, Fatty Wang held a torch and waved it at the countless red ants, each as big as an egg, swarming on the sand.
"These guys are really relentless, they keep coming up with new tricks. Burn them!"
Zhang Qiling was also waving a torch beside him, while also keeping an eye on Wu Xie, who was injured and sitting in the back.
Wu Xie was bitten on the leg by a red ant. Although there was nothing wrong with the skin of that leg, he lost all feeling inside.
So he could only sit there, holding a torch in his hand, trying his best to help.
"Hey buddy, Fatty, we need to get out of here as soon as possible. We can't burn all these ants."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang turned around and said, "Brother, you take Tianzhen first, I'll cover the rear."
Zhang Qiling looked at him hesitantly, and Fatty Wang quickly said, "Don't worry, they're afraid of fire. As long as they have torches, they won't dare to come near me. I'll catch up with you soon."
The three worked together seamlessly and quickly shook off the red ants.
Zhang Qiling carried Wu Xie on his back and ran ahead, with Fatty Wang following closely behind.
After running for a while, Wu Xie couldn't bear it and patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder: "Brother, put me down, you guys rest for a while."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang plopped down on the ground: "Tianzhen, how does your leg feel? Have you regained feeling?"
Seeing this, Zhang Qiling had no choice but to put Wu Xie down on the ground and sit down next to him, glancing at Wu Xie's legs with some concern.
Wu Xie pinched his leg and shook his head in disappointment: "I still can't feel anything."
"You're not going to be crippled from now on, and never be able to recover, right? Haha, I'm just kidding."
Under the unfriendly gazes of the two men, Fatty Wang paused mid-sentence before awkwardly adding his last sentence.
The three of them were exhausted after a long day, and even Zhang Qiling felt a bit tired.
Fortunately, nothing else happened that night, so I was able to rest for a few hours.

Over here, seeing Qin Xuan take out a dagger, Xie Yuchen also took out his own dragon-patterned staff, remaining vigilant.
He swam to her side, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, he blew out a string of bubbles. He could only point to the dagger in Qin Xuan's hand.
Qin Xuan understood what he meant, pointed ahead, and waved his dagger to indicate that something was coming.
Xie Yuchen nodded to indicate that he understood. The two girls behind him were still a little confused when they saw that their swimming speed had slowed down.
They soon found out the reason: about ten piranhas, each as big as a bucket, were coming towards them and charged at them as soon as they saw them.
Apart from Qin Xuan, the other three all looked solemn, feeling that things might be a bit risky later.
Swimming in the water is already exhausting, let alone having your hands free to deal with such a big fish.
