250: Chapter 250 Treasure Land 20

"Is this some kind of scam? Is this a scam!" Ever since Luo Yuejian fell down, she hadn't dared to get within a step of that stone platform, just for fear of accidentally triggering some mechanism and ruining her plan to get herself killed.

And yet, even with her being so careful, this thing actually got opened?!

She was just one step away. If she had just stayed in this Secret Room a little longer, she definitely would have died from the various factors caused by the raging flames, then completed the slacker system's mission to revive and return to the Real World.

Just a little bit more!

Luo Yuejian was so angry that her vision kept going black, and she even felt a bit dizzy.

However, the next second, she realized that her vision going black wasn't an illusion, but rather due to a lack of oxygen for a long time and the inhalation of too much carbon monoxide, causing insufficient blood supply to her brain, which was why her vision was going black.

Luo Yuejian subconsciously took a deep breath, and then was choked by the thick, choking smell of smoke in the air, nearly coughing out loud.

The slacker system immediately asked with concern in Luo Yuejian's mind: "Host, are you alright? Hurry up and leave here, otherwise you're going to be choked to death."

Luo Yuejian: ?

"You f***... *cough cough*..." Luo Yuejian almost cursed, but she really couldn't afford to delay any longer. With an escape route available, if she stayed here waiting to die, the slacker system would definitely judge her as intentionally throwing her life away.

The slacker system might be popping up to disgust her right now just to deliberately provoke her, making her violate the slacker system's rules so it could give her a corresponding punishment.

Luo Yuejian sneered in her heart, thinking that she couldn't be outsmarted by the stupid system's schemes. She lost this round, but it didn't matter; she had plenty of chances!

Thinking this, Luo Yuejian immediately ran towards the pitch-black hole that had appeared on the stone platform and jumped down without the slightest hesitation.

[Someone, explain to me what on earth is going on here!]

[I'm literally going to fly-kick it, are you putting on airs now?]

[Analysis Emperors, where are you? Why can't I see anything? I'm so scared QAQ...]

[Let me explain briefly. The crystals embedded on the surface of the stone platform are actually a type of temperature sensing device; they turn red when the temperature reaches above 50°C. This must be some kind of mechanism; once the limiting condition is reached, the escape route automatically opens.]

[Holy crap, I previously thought Moon God guessed that danger was coming, so she found a way to ignite those pottery jars to create a wall of fire to fend off the rats. I didn't expect that Moon God had discovered the mechanism on the stone platform and that's why she did it!]

[It's probably both. With Moon God's level of thinking, she definitely considered every single aspect.]

[Moon God must have discovered long ago that the glazed crystals on the stone platform were suspicious. Look at her subsequent actions; they were entirely aimed at creating a high temperature in the room, without a single wasted movement.]

[Question: Why didn't Moon God just take a burning matchstick and bring it close to those crystals? The temperature of the flame directly close by would definitely reach 50 degrees, why go through all this trouble?]

[Buddy, you know those are crystals, right? What if the flame gets too close and ruins them? If the mechanism gets destroyed, Moon God won't be able to leave even if she wants to.]

[Someone actually dares to question Moon God's actions?]

[You're making me laugh; they probably wouldn't survive one round in the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game.]

[Don't laugh, if you tried, you wouldn't get past the second level either [facepalm].]

...

Splash—

The bone-chilling cold water washed over her head, and Luo Yuejian shivered from the cold. She hadn't expected at all that after jumping down from that pitch-black hole, she would jump straight into water.

The sudden turn of events caused Luo Yuejian to panic for a moment. However, after flailing her arms in the water a couple of times, she quickly realized that falling into the water, apart from being very cold, had no other negative impact on her.

Because, back during that Miracle Escape Live Stream Game in the Death Desert, Luo Yuejian had received the penalty skill given by the slacker system—Underwater Breathing—because her acting was too obvious.

Luo Yuejian felt a little disappointed; she had just thought she might have some trouble. The water was truly bone-chilling, and realizing that she had no way to have an accident from falling into the water, Luo Yuejian didn't want to stay any longer and quickly swam to the surface.

Leaving the water and reaching the bank, Luo Yuejian looked around. However, the surrounding environment was simply too dark, and the matchstick she had originally been holding had long since been blown out by her after she lit the lamps in the Secret Room.

The only light source at the moment was actually the square skylight above, where Luo Yuejian had fallen from.

Because the Secret Room was currently ablaze with flames, a faint light shone through, barely allowing Luo Yuejian not to be completely blind.

Through this little bit of light, Luo Yuejian observed the surrounding environment. In reality, she could only see the water surface she had just fallen into, which seemed to be an Underground River. This Underground River was very long, stretching all the way into the darkness, with no end in sight.

Moreover, judging from the fact that Luo Yuejian had been able to fall directly into the river and be submerged, this Underground River should be quite deep.

As for everything else around, it was pitch black. As long as she left the patch of land under her feet and walked forward, she wouldn't even be able to see her own fingers.

Luo Yuejian immediately decided to wait an hour for the matchstick in her matchbox to refresh before she took any action. This would also make it easier for her to waste time, hehe.

The time for the matchstick to refresh was a bit faster than Luo Yuejian had expected; in about half an hour, a new matchstick appeared in the matchbox. After all, she had also spent quite some time in the Secret Room.

Luo Yuejian actually felt a little regret; if she had known, she wouldn't have extinguished that matchstick after lighting all the oil lamps in the Secret Room.

That way, when she fell into the Underground River, the matchstick would have extinguished anyway, and she would have had to wait an hour before she could continue moving forward.

However, Luo Yuejian only felt a little regret; she was still very satisfied with her current progress.

Don't look at how she seemed to be constantly heading to new places; in reality, in a sense, she had been treading water the whole time.

From when she climbed that tree, fell into the tree core, entered the Secret Room, and finally arrived next to the Underground River, this was completely a vertical straight line!

In terms of distance, she really hadn't moved an inch!

And who knows how the other players are doing now? Luo Yuejian thought to herself, it had probably been three or four hours since they separated, and maybe that group of guys was already close to the Treasure Site.

And what Luo Yuejian didn't know was that among the other players at this moment, there had already been casualties...
