System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chu Lingxian stared at the direction of the cave entrance in a daze. Lu Nanyin pulled her sleeve and asked her what she was thinking about.

"You see, they first dug downwards, but when they reached a certain depth, they would extend outwards. The soil here is all frozen, which makes digging difficult. If there are too many holes and they collapse, it would be impossible for the people below to survive. And those people only counted the number of crystals dug out at the entrance of the hole and would not go down at all. In this way, the only ones whose lives would be threatened would be those oppressed townspeople."

"But if we want to rescue them, we don't have enough manpower and we need to make a perfect plan."

"How about this, within three days, we will first go find the Huayue grass, and then I will go make the elixir to completely heal Chu Lingxian's injury, and then we will find a way to save those townspeople."

"Okay, let's go find some medicine."

Several people walked towards the place the old man said. They found traces of beastmen on the road and moved forward more carefully.

Lu Nanyin found a lot of medicinal herbs along the way. Because no one had come to pick them in the past five years, these herbs were quite old and their effects would of course be doubled.

Arriving at a place, Lu Nanyin smelled the fragrance of medicine coming from not far away, and said excitedly: "Just walk a little further, but be careful of the guardian beast guarding beside it."

A few people walked forward in small steps. They heard a loud sound of footsteps behind them and quickly hid behind the rocks nearby.

Then they saw a five-meter-tall snow ape walking by and guarding the Huayue grass, not letting anyone else get close.

"What should we do? We need to lure it away, right?"

"Wait a minute, there is still a long time until midnight. We will act when it is almost midnight."

"Okay, Xiaoxiao and I will lead it away, and you two can take this opportunity to go collect herbs."

"Okay, take this. If you can't run away, light this and the snow ape won't come near you."

Lu Nanyin handed the sticks in her hand to the two of them.

The two men nodded, each holding one in one hand and a tinder in the other.

A quarter before midnight, Su Liyue and Xia Xiaoxiao ran out, attracted the snow ape's attention, and then ran away in one direction.

Lu Nanyin and Chu Lingxian watched them run away and head towards Huayue Grass.

It was midnight, and the petals of the Huayue Grass gradually opened under the moonlight. The two men hurriedly dug it out.

After digging two plants, a louder noise suddenly came from the surroundings. It was a group of snow apes. They were not as big as the previous one, but there were quite a few of them.

Chu Lingxian hurriedly pulled Lu Nanyin and ran away. The two of them ran into a cave in a hurry and avoided the pursuit of the snow ape group.

Lu Nanyin nestled in Chu Lingxian's arms and slowly poked her head out to look at the situation outside. Fortunately, they walked away.

Lu Nanyin could hear Chu Lingxian's heartbeat, which was beating very fast because he was running so hurriedly.

But gradually Chu Lingxian's complexion became worse and worse, and there was a hint of blood in the air.

Lu Nanyin hurried to check her lower back and found it was bleeding.

But it’s icy and snowy now. If I treat the wound here, I will definitely freeze. What should I do?

The two walked a little deeper into the cave. It was not as cold inside as outside. Lu Nanyin hurriedly took off her clothes and treated her wounds.

"Chu Lingxian, don't fall asleep, otherwise we won't be able to get down the mountain, hold on."

Chu Lingxian responded weakly, "I know. To be honest, you talk too much."

"I'm talking more for your own good. Mainly because no one talked to me before. Master always goes to various places and I'm often alone." Lu Nanyin re-applied medicine and bandaged him.

But Chu Lingxian felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and his head was a little dizzy.

Lu Nanyin touched her forehead and frowned, "You have a fever."

Lu Nanyin took out a handkerchief, put some ice cubes in it, and made a simple ice pack to cool her down.

"Chu Lingxian, how do you feel now? Tell me if you feel uncomfortable anywhere. I said I will definitely heal you."

Chu Lingxian smiled and said, "Okay, little doctor."

"What do you think this cave is used for? I hope it's not the home of some beastman."

"It shouldn't be. There is no smell of beastmen here, but the temperature here is indeed much hotter than outside. It's really strange."

"That……"

"Go look inside."

Lu Nanyin supported Chu Lingxian, and the two walked towards the depths of the cave together. At this time, a few more people came to the cave entrance.

The two came to a fork in the road and chose the right path.

As we kept walking forward, the temperature kept rising, and it felt like we were going up all the time.

"Chu Lingxian, if we keep walking, where will we end up?"

"Let's take a break. If we keep walking, I don't know what will happen. But I don't feel any danger here for now. I also have a very strange feeling that I can't explain."

The two rested for a while and continued to move forward. Chu Lingxian felt that the spiritual energy around him was becoming more and more abundant and purer, and he was a little surprised.

Lu Anyin also felt it. Thinking of what she had read in the book, she could conclude that there must be good things here.

When they arrived at a larger cave, they were shocked.

The cave is filled with various crystals and many beast cores with various attributes, and there are also many snow crystals on the walls.

Chu Lingxian's eyes were attracted by a herb in the center. "Lu Nanyin, what kind of herb is that?"

"That's a snow flower. Judging from its size, it must be at least a thousand years old."

Lu Nanyin hurriedly dug out the Snow Soul Flower and put it into the ring space. There was also a furnace in the corner. After wiping off the dust and dirt on it, Lu Nanyin was shocked again.

"This... this is the Bronze Medicine King Cauldron! Using this to refine medicine will not only greatly increase the success rate, but also maximize the efficacy of the medicine. What on earth is this place? There are so many treasures!"

After packing up everything here, Lu Nanyin smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed and her eyes were not. "Woohoo! We are rich."

"Lu Nanyin, it's quite safe here. Why don't you make the elixir here? I'll help you protect the law."

"But you are still injured. It will take at least two or three days to refine this elixir. You..."

"I know, but we can't go down the mountain for a while. If we refine the medicine at the foot of the mountain, we might be disturbed by those people. So, this is the best choice. Let's block this cave first, and you can refine the medicine in peace."

"Ok."

The two of them blocked the intersection they were coming from with the stones in the cave. Lu Nanyin and the Bronze Medicine King Cauldron took ownership, sat in the corner, and took out the necessary herbs.

Slowly mobilize the spiritual power, put the herbs in one by one, slowly dissolve, purify and blend them together, and finally mobilize all the little remaining spiritual power, and the pill will be ready!

When Lu Nanyin opened her eyes, she saw a mess. Chu Lingxian, covered in blood, stood in front of her and fought off those who tried to approach her.
