An angry beast roar came from a very far distance, the sound was so loud and majestic that it shook Zhang Chunliang's dream violently.

The blue light around him and in his eyes gradually dimmed, and the entire space began to peel off piece by piece like a wall that had been in disrepair for a long time.

Suddenly, the crisp sound of glass breaking was heard in the air. Zhang Chunliang took a deep breath and woke up from his dream.

He was still in shock, sweaty and extremely weak.

After being in a daze for a long while, he finally got up from the soft straw mat, lifted up his clothes, and looked nervously again and again to make sure that there were no densely packed blue eyes growing on his body.

He felt uncomfortable all over, his head was splitting, and he even wanted to dig open his flesh to see if there were any eyes inside.

It was still dark at this moment, but the air was filled with a long-lost hot, earthy smell.

He was stunned and suddenly frowned.

Because there is a large pond here, the air is moist and fresh. Since he came here, he has never felt the heat and dryness like the outside world.

The black panther was lying by the pond, roaring angrily.

When Zhang Chunliang walked closer and took a look, his heart sank - the entire pond had completely dried up.

The plants and fish and shellfish in the pond gave off a strong fishy odor, having been dead for some time. The bottom of the pond was dry without any trace of moisture, and the soil in the pond had dried up into dirt.

It was as if in an instant, all the water in the pond evaporated for no reason.

Zhang Chunliang let out a deep breath, now he understood what was going on.

The Game House locked onto his location, and in order to force him to leave, they actually drained away all the water here.

No, the Game House is just an invader that is invading another world. It is unlikely to change the environment of the copy so quickly relying solely on its own power - there must be someone helping it.

Recalling the scenes in his dreams and the bad experiences of being targeted repeatedly these days, Zhang Chunliang had a bad guess in his mind - Game House was very likely to have reached some deal with the consciousness of this copy.

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis as if he had fallen into a trap, and his whole body tensed up.

If his guess is true, the meaning behind it is simply impossible to think about, but many inexplicable things will make sense.

For example, why can players leave the copy with the pollution after being contaminated by the evil god in this copy - this is an act of deliberate indulgence by Game House.

It seems that everything they did when entering this copy was premeditated. It was a conspiracy against them... no, perhaps against Zhang Chunliang alone.

The ubiquitous surveillance, the curse-like declarations from Game House, and the life-and-death crises Zhang Chunliang faced within a few days of entering the dungeon all clearly told him that he was being maliciously targeted.

The Game House wanted to kill him, very much.

To achieve its goals, it even cooperated with the targets of its aggression.

This was not the first or second time that Zhang Chunliang had been targeted by this guy, but he had rarely seen him so nervous, anxious, and aggressive. He was even unwilling to disguise his intentions.

Why...? Is it because he is about to resurrect Shen Xingyi, the only person who can threaten its existence?

"Woo..." The big black panther lay by the pond and let out a frustrated whimper.

Zhang Chunliang walked forward and touched its thick neck hair with some guilt, feeling a deep sense of helplessness and anger in his heart.

For the first time, he felt so powerless and weak.

"I'm sorry..." he whispered, "It's all because of me..."

The black panther placed its big furry head on Zhang Chunliang's shoulder and sniffed his scent uneasily. The whole panther looked depressed and listless.

This is the nest that it had found with great difficulty. In this terrifying world full of extreme drought, it can be said to be an extremely rare piece of pure land. It does not know whether it can find such a suitable place to live in the future.

If it fails to find a nest that suits its lover’s wishes, will it be rejected or abandoned?

The big black panther swung its tail anxiously.

Unable to sleep any longer that night, Zhang Chunliang counted the things he was going to take away and carefully opened the bamboo tube containing water to check. Fortunately, the water in the tube was still intact and had not evaporated.

While he was busy, Old K in the system backpack was not idle either. It divided all the food in the large bag into small portions and smuggled them into Zhang Chunliang's pocket bit by bit.

By the time Zhang Chunliang realized it, his pockets were already stuffed bulging with compressed biscuits that were easy to fill up.

And it’s Lao K’s favorite seafood flavor.

Zhang Chunliang did not waste its kindness. He immediately started a fire and used the water in the bamboo tube to cook a pot of compressed biscuit and dried meat porridge for breakfast.

After filling his stomach, he reluctantly picked up his backpack.

From this moment on, he would begin his wandering life again, but this time, he was no longer alone.

"Xiaoxing, can you find the refugee group I was with?" Zhang Chunliang straddled the big black panther's back and gently rubbed its ears.

The black panther feeds on the most powerful and intelligent creatures in the world and has a natural insight into living things.

Following Zhang Chunliang's guidance, it found the road they took to escape the famine.

The man and the leopard ran across the endless wasteland until dawn, and no living creature could be found between heaven and earth.

The world is desolate and silent, decayed and gray, and every inch of land carries a frightening aura of death.

……

"Great, we finally found these players." Zhang Chunliang breathed a sigh of relief and unfolded the mini coffin for collecting the players' bodies.

In front of him lay five unrecognizable corpses. These were the blasphemous players who had died here when the dungeon was first opened up. They were also the target of Zhang Chunliang and his team's entry into the dungeon this time.

"Interesting." Qu Anran looked at the small coffin in his hand and said with a smile, "The skills you have obtained are the most practical among us."

Two days ago, Qu Anran "inadvertently" revealed to Zhang Chunliang that he and the fox had some extra skills. The next day, Zhang Chunliang also awakened new powers.

According to him, his ability allows him to briefly open the system backpack and use props to help them clear levels.

In just a day and a half, the three of them used tracking items to find the five players who died in the copy.

Their consciousness was accepted by the copy and they turned into five ordinary NPCs, who were confusedly gathering in a fleeing team and heading towards an unknown village. Some of them were still holding a sip of water in their hands that they were reluctant to finish.

After Zhang Chunliang told them their true identities, several players collapsed instantly, wailing in extreme despair, and then their skin and flesh disappeared, turning into several hideous mummies.

Zhang Chunliang used props to collect their bodies, with a look of regret on his face: "Perhaps this is the best ending for them."

"How should we leave next?" The fox looked at the sky with an indifferent expression, "Stop the level or just get the key?"

"This dungeon will become more and more dangerous. My advice is to leave as soon as possible." Zhang Chunliang's expression was very sincere. "I want to go back early to accompany Shen Xingyi."

Qu Anran nodded and asked humbly: "Then how do we leave here?"

Since when, Qu Anran and Fox no longer took the initiative to look for clues to pass the level, and would ask Zhang Chunliang for his opinion on everything.

Zhang Chunliang enjoyed the feeling of being the center of the team. He smiled and said, "We just need to offer sacrifices to the gods in the dungeon and pray for them to let us leave here. I heard someone in the previous team mention that there are many temples in this world that are under the Thousand-Handed Buddha. Their whereabouts are uncertain and they are very important for the Buddha's fate. It is difficult for sinners to find them."

"But we have you. I believe you can find the temple and lead us out." Qu Anran looked at him seriously. "It is a blessing for us to have you in this team."

Zhang Chunliang waved his hands awkwardly: "We are all teammates, there is no need to be polite."

Qu Anran gave him a hearty smile and turned to pack her bags.

The moment he turned his back, the smile on his face suddenly fell, and he looked at the fox heavily.

——The real Zhang Chunliang is probably in trouble.
