268: Chapter 268 Treasure Land 38

Luo Yuejian first tested whether the fire starter in her hand could leave burn marks on the wall. If it could, that would not be a bad idea.

But after Luo Yuejian tried it, she was surprised to find that, whether it was due to the material of the walls on both sides of the corridor or because they were coated with something, her fire starter simply could not leave any obvious marks on the walls.

If she burned them for a long time and looked carefully, it was not that it was completely invisible, but it would be too much trouble.

What if she just threw the small things she had collected from those skeletons onto the ground as a guide?

Luo Yuejian felt her pockets, but from top to bottom, there were only a dozen or so items.

After all, she had only passed through twenty-something Stone Rooms, and not every skeleton had small trinkets she could take.

Luo Yuejian even started to wonder if she could take out the small box filled with peppercorns and star anise and use them as guides.

She could take the opportunity to waste those peppercorns and star anise, killing two birds with one stone.

But she immediately dismissed this idea; it was not that she did not want to, but mainly because those peppercorns and star anise were too small and very dark, so who would be able to see them on the ground?

Besides, the road itself was not very flat, it was bumpy, and she might not even feel it if she stepped on them.

She still had to think of other ways.

Luo Yuejian pondered for a moment, and her hand suddenly touched the water canteen hanging at her waist. She let out a soft hiss internally, a sudden inspiration striking her: could she just drip a drop of the black liquid she brought with her onto the ground?

She had experienced before that the alcoholic scent of this black liquid could drift very far and was very strong.

Moreover, seeing that the large pool of black liquid was completely exposed to the air without evaporating, this black liquid should not be easily volatile.

Luo Yuejian tentatively dripped one drop onto the ground, and sure enough, she smelled a strong alcoholic aroma.

She chose a direction at random and moved forward; after walking less than twenty meters, the alcoholic scent finally faded completely.

It seemed that the canteen of black liquid she had filled should be enough.

She did not expect that the black liquid she had casually poured into her canteen would actually be useful in this way. Luo Yuejian felt she had really improved.

If this were when she first entered the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, how could she have thought of such a detailed operation?

Sigh, people really do grow through setbacks.

Luo Yuejian felt quite gratified by her own growth. Although her goal was not to be resurrected by winning the game, she definitely felt secretly happy seeing herself constantly improving.

Since she had found a way to mark the route, Luo Yuejian did not hesitate and continued walking in the chosen direction. After walking a certain distance, once she could not smell the alcoholic scent, she would drip a drop of the black liquid on the ground.

On the way, Luo Yuejian also encountered quite a few rooms she had been to before.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the entire Treasure Site, three players were being hunted by seven or eight strange creatures with scarlet eyes and fierce expressions.

Those creatures had black-grey fur, were over a meter long, ran very fast, had great explosive power, and looked extremely ferocious. Their teeth were very sharp, and the two fangs on the sides were especially terrifying to look at.

They were currently chasing behind the three players. If it were not for the fact that both ends of these corridors were very narrow and could not accommodate them all charging at once, which greatly limited the mobility of these strange creatures, the three players would likely have been caught long ago.

The matter started when they went deep into that side path where they could hear the sound of water.

They moved forward in the darkness for about 100 meters. After reaching the end of the corridor, ahead was a large, uncarved, completely natural underground cave.

And after entering this underground cave, they actually saw an Underground River. The river water was unclear in the dim environment, but the sound of the water did not seem very rapid.

The three players had not drunk water for a long time since entering this underground space, and hearing the sound of the Underground River, they could not help but feel their throats dry.

Moreover, for this kind of flowing water source, generally speaking, there are fewer bacteria, and even if there were any problems, by the time they took effect, they would have already left this game of Miracle Escape.

Therefore, the three players immediately decided to go to the water's edge to refill their canteens.

After walking to the water's edge, the three of them used fire starters to provide light, and the Doctor with a low ponytail crouched down to fetch water. After filling one canteen, she handed it to the two players standing, then filled the next one.

And just as she was fetching water at the water's edge by the firelight, her hand suddenly paused.

This slight change was captured in time by the Plump Boss.

He immediately felt that something was wrong and asked: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Before the Doctor with a low ponytail could react to his question, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket standing next to him was startled first.

After all, he had just seen the White-haired Girl earlier, so he was quite like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, and he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

The Doctor with a low ponytail remained crouching in place and whispered: "Quiet, don't make too much noise, let's slowly retreat. I saw a pair of red eyes reflected in the river water from above the cave."

As soon as these words were spoken, cold sweat immediately broke out on the other two players, and they did not dare to say anything more, immediately walking carefully towards the direction behind them.

The Doctor with a low ponytail also slowly stood up, turned around, and walked slowly towards the direction they had come from.

Their reaction speed was definitely timely, but while retreating, because they were too nervous and the surrounding light was not clear, something went wrong.

While walking forward, the Plump Boss accidentally kicked a stone.

Honestly, the sound of the stone being kicked was actually very small, and with the sound of the Underground River covering it, it seemed even more insignificant.

However, it was after this sound that the few players could clearly hear a significant movement coming from above.

It seemed like some heavy object had fallen to the ground.

At the same time, several loud howls also came from above, and immediately afterwards, more echoing howls rang out, one after another, directly turning the faces of the three players pale.
