Let the system try to save the world

"Gu Yugui, what are you going to do after this is over?" Xitong suddenly asked.

"Me? Going to work." Gu Yugui was caught off guard by this abrupt question, but he still answered seriously, "I can't lie down anymore. There are a lot of people who depend on me for their livelihood."

"What about after work?"

"Retire." Gu Yugui answered straightforwardly, "Actually, I want to retire now, but I can't."

The corner of Xitong's mouth twitched, and he turned around and continued to grope for the mechanism on the ground.

His life was too long to allow him to consider this issue.

The domineering president and the pretty girl are together, the prince and princess are married, and the wizard and the mermaid are living happily together.

Main System…Where should the System (Xitong) go after the story ends?

He successfully cleared out an iron door leading to the underground. The door was covered with thick mud and it was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.

Or maybe someone deliberately covered it with mud and didn't want anyone to get close to it.

Xitong dismantled the seesaw next to it, and used brute force to pry up a corner of the gate. Using the principle of leverage, he lifted up the heavy iron door in one go.

Maybe I should ask Xin Ru. Xi Tong thought, I wonder how many world bubble missions that kid has completed now? How does C1573 get along with him?

Forget it. The kid himself probably doesn't understand anything yet.

Xitong lit a piece of wood and threw it into the black hole behind the iron gate.

The wooden stick rolled down with sparks, and it was more than ten seconds before the echo was heard. Xitong peeked and saw that the flame was still burning tenaciously deep inside.

"What's that smell?" Gu Yugui sniffed, "Like barbecue."

In this secret room that has not been ventilated for a long time, unknown monsters are far less scary than lack of oxygen. The smell coming out at least shows that this cave is connected to the outside world in other directions.

After confirming that the air inside was fresh, Xitong looked back at Gu Yugui and said, "I'll go down first, and you can jump down after I get to the bottom."

Gu Yugui nodded, indicating that he understood.

Xitong raised the bar a little higher from the ground, enough for a person to pass through smoothly, and he jumped into the pit.

The diameter of the hole was very wide. Xitong put his hands in the air and tried to measure the diameter of the hole. It was about ten to twenty meters, just like a small train passing through underground.

There was no cement or concrete on the surrounding cave walls, and the soil was all old soil with no signs of new filling. Xitong couldn't imagine how the soil had been firmly fixed here for so many years.

He let go and continued to descend cautiously.

The deeper you go, the stronger the barbecue smell coming from underground becomes.

Xitong remembered a novel about the life of people in the center of the earth.

It would be great if someone lived underground and they were enjoying a barbecue.

The torch was stuck diagonally into the wall of the cave almost at the bottom. Xitong gave it some spiritual energy and did not pull it out.

There is no real land at the bottom, but a puddle of groundwater that seeped out from somewhere.

Xitong stepped into the puddle. The water was icy cold in winter and he shivered slightly.

He finally saw a crude barbecue pit on the ground, which was where the fragrance came from.

On some peeled tree branches were stuck the carcasses of some unknown birds, which were being roasted sizzlingly. Xitong swallowed subconsciously. He had been fasting and depriving of water since he ate those two steamed buns the night before, and now he was starving.

Trap, this is definitely a trap.

Xitong stretched out his hand and tried to numb himself, I just want to confirm what kind of bird this is, I don’t want to eat it.

Before his hand touched the branch, the water flow under his feet suddenly changed. Xitong turned around abruptly and saw a dark shadow rushing towards him.

"Ahhh!" the monster screamed and pounced towards Xitong.

What an illiterate man! Xitong threw a punch, hitting the little monster in the face. It started to cry loudly in pain, and a lot of pearls fell out and sank into the water.

Xitong looked at his fist in confusion. He didn't use much strength. He didn't even use his spiritual power.

"Get up." Xitong lifted the little monster with a human body and a fish tail out of the water. It was crying and twitching, and its face was wrinkled like a walnut skin.

"How... can you speak mermaid language?" This little monster must be the mermaid from the aquarium or someone else. It was crying out of breath, "Don't touch the roasted bird. You can't touch the roasted bird."

"If you are hungry, eat me... woooo..."

"You're not delicious." Xitong let go. The mermaid's tail was already injured, and now it began to secrete some sticky substance because of the fright.

Xitong threw it away with disdain. The fish was now about 1.5 meters long and it was quite difficult for him to carry it.

The lifespan of a mermaid is about three hundred years, and this number will increase indefinitely as its cultivation level increases. A mermaid will be close to the size of an adult after ten years, which shows that it has practiced well during this period, or it has eaten a lot of people.

“Waaaaaa…” Seeing Xitong ignoring him, the merman collapsed in the pool and burst into tears, “Shen, where have you been…”

"It's so noisy." Xitong picked a roasted bird, broke off a bird leg and stuffed it into the mermaid's mouth, "Eat."

The mermaid subconsciously wanted to vomit it out, but it seemed to have been hungry for a while. After tasting the deliciousness of the roasted bird, its eyes lit up. Then it swam to a big rock with the bird leg in its mouth, and while chewing it, it watched Xitong's movements vigilantly.

Xitong waited for a few minutes until the mermaid had eaten all the bones and started sucking her fingers. He walked to the bottom of the hole and put his hand to her mouth, "Gu Yugui, come down."

Gu Yugui waited for a while. He heard Xitong's voice and immediately went into the gap under the iron gate. "I'm coming down."

Xitong stretched out his arms and steadily held Gu Yugui in his arms.

Gu Yugui didn't even react, one of his arms was still on Xitong's neck, "It feels a bit weird."

"What's strange?" Xitong asked.

"I should be the one hugging you." Gu Yugui gestured, "Forget it, there's no chance now, let's talk about it after I change back."

"Did your alpha pride get hurt?" Xitong put Gu Yugui down on the ground and called him, "Come, come, come."

"What is this?" Gu Yugui took a roasted bird and asked doubtfully, "I hope it won't cause any problems if I eat it."

"Judging from the bones, it should be a swallow." Xitong replied, "It should be similar to a chicken. Let's try it."

Gu Yugui looked embarrassed. He tried to tear off a small piece of flesh with his fingernails and took a sip of it.

"Eat it. It's not dead yet after eating it." Xitong simply imitated the mermaid and chewed the bones with a crunching sound. He pointed at the mermaid coiled on the stone, lowered his head and continued to eat quickly.

That thing should be able to eat anything without dying. Gu Yugui glanced at the drooling mermaid, then looked at the roasted swallow in his hand, and ate it with big mouthfuls, ready to die.

The swallows were not big, and Xitong and Gu Yugui ate most of the roasted swallows in no time. He dug through the carbon ash on the ground and found a new clue.

"Low flower."

"Low flower..." Xitong murmured, "Something seems to be wrong."

He recalled several clues left by Meng Ruyan.
