Chapter 109: Chapter 110: Crisis Descends, An Unexpected Discovery!
"Stop right there! Throw everything you’re carrying on the ground, or I’ll kill you!"
About ten meters ahead, a burly man with a full beard was shouting at Lin Yue.
Behind him, more people were wielding weapons aimed at Lin Yue, each face filled with menace!
Stop right there? Being too obedient could get someone killed.
Lin Yue glanced at the large pit; he was just a meter from the edge. With a leap, he slid down...
"Squeak!"
At that moment, Bai at the bottom of the pit suddenly let out a cry, drawing all their attention downward. Lin Yue seized the opportunity to jump!
He leaped off the edge of the pit and slid rapidly down to the bottom!
Thud, thud, thud!!
Three arrows immediately struck the bone armor on his back, producing three muffled thuds, but they didn’t pierce Lin Yue’s defense.
Lin Yue suddenly turned around and fired a crossbow arrow instantly!
"Ah!!"
A scream rang out, but Lin Yue didn’t look back. He quickly reached the bottom of the pit and darted into the cave!
Safe arrival!
Lin Yue quickly leaned against the edge of the cave entrance, with curses and insults from outside continuing to echo.
Among them was the scream of the person he had shot!
Wow, just randomly fired an arrow and actually hit, huh?
"Squeak!" Bai wanted to rush out but was halted by Lin Yue.
The opponents had bows and arrows, and there were many of them; stepping out would make them targets. Even if Bai was fast enough, with over ten people outside looking down, it couldn’t do much.
So, for now, this cave entrance was safe.
But these people were indeed brutal.
Lin Yue pressed his rapidly beating heart, taking a deep breath.
If he had hesitated for even a moment just now, he might have been caught by those people, with unimaginable consequences.
Without a doubt, these people were not good; as soon as he ran down, they shot arrows without saying a word, leaving no room for negotiation.
And Lin Yue had encountered people like this before.
Raiders!
Raiders don’t search for water and food themselves. They abandon their shelters and roam the Otherworld in groups, using numbers and force to conquer solitary survivors.
The first time Lin Yue encountered raiders was with Korun and others in the Secret Realm. The second time was when Yellow Hair and his group attacked his shelter.
The common trait of these people is ruthlessness!
They completely disregard their fellow humans, desiring only all of the other’s resources!
From the appearance, tone, and actions of these people just now, they were undoubtedly raiders.
But it’s strange, how did raiders end up here?
Coincidence? That’s too coincidental!
Lin Yue found it increasingly odd. How could he stumble upon this group of raiders as soon as he arrived here? It’s just bad luck.
"Could it be the backlash from opening treasure chests so often, causing bad luck?"
The cursing outside didn’t stop, and though Lin Yue hid at the cave entrance, not seeing the situation above, he knew stepping out meant certain death!
He took out a piece of hide from the storage space and tossed it outside the cave.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Almost simultaneously, several arrows pierced the hide!
Wow, quite accurate.
Though Lin Yue wore bone armor and an iron helmet, he couldn’t just rush out heedlessly because of these protections.
Who knew what other weapons they might have?
Anything is possible in this Otherworld.
"Squeak!" Bai cried as several torches suddenly fell down at the entrance, followed by lots of dry grass.
The torches ignited the grass instantly, creating thick smoke!
Yet, Lin Yue remained calm.
"Squeak!" Bai leaped over, exhaled a frosty mist, freezing the torches and grass together.
"Well done!" Lin Yue handed Bai a candy bar.
Lin Yue believed it essential to give Bai enough food during battle, as its combat power peaked when it was full.
"Squeak squeak!" Bai blew another icy breath outside, freezing more falling torches instantly.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue shoved these items into the storage space; after all, his storage space had plenty of room, with a large compartment inside if needed.
However.
If the opponent intended to bury this big pit...
Boom!
A rumble echoed, followed by another, more sounds at the entrance, causing dust to rise, forcing Lin Yue to retreat inside.
Wow, they’re serious, huh?
The place dimmed, and Lin Yue turned on his flashlight, retreating to the large space inside.
When Bai warned of the enemy, he rushed out, worried that the enemies might block all escape routes here.
But just now, aside from jumping into the big pit, there was no other option.
Getting caught would mean death, no matter what those ten or so people did.
Jumping in like this might still offer a sliver of hope.
But... why didn’t Bai detect the enemy above? Why only warn when they were merely dozens of meters away?
Why?
"Squeak, squeak!" Bai listened to the rumbling outside, knowing that it and its master were trapped inside this cave, feeling anxious but helpless.
Lin Yue petted Bai’s little head, realizing something was unusual from the start.
Given Bai’s original ability to sense enemies, it should have detected these raiders already, but the reality was different.
The rumbling outside didn’t stop. Lin Yue knew unless they filled the pit with rocks, the sound wouldn’t cease soon.
If he used a pickaxe to break the rocks and drill out, he’d likely be shot, unable to survive.
The solution... wait until night?
Night brings mutated creatures with numbers and ferocity unmatched by those in daylight.
Even by the following day, would they still be waiting above?
This can’t continue.
Lin Yue wandered around the spacious area with a flashlight, contemplating a solution.
While pondering, he caught a fleeting scent in his nostrils.
This scent wasn’t like the roasted lamb chops they ate earlier, but a perfume-like fragrance.
Where could perfume come from in here?
But Lin Yue noted that as he went deeper, the scent intensified. Looking at Bai, it held its little paw over its nose, seemingly uncomfortable.
Wait.
Lin Yue suddenly had an idea.
Could Bai’s detection ability be linked to its keen sense of smell?
It detected the strange perfume scent, blunting its olfactory sense, failing to notice the enemy outside.
Only when the enemy was close enough did it sense them?
That seems plausible.
"Clatter."
Suddenly, Lin Yue’s foot hit something, like a glass bottle clinking against stone.
The flashlight beam revealed a glass bottle on the ground, along with two skeletons tightly huddled together in the deepest part!
