Chapter 16

The bubbles floated in the air, and as the breeze blew, they slowly rose and flipped. After a while, a picture gradually appeared in the bubbles.

The images that appeared in the dozen or so bubbles were a little dark. The environment inside was humid and cramped. There were also many stalactites hanging upside down. It was obvious that they were images from the Catacombs.

However, the most surprising thing was that the sixty or so students who had entered the Catacombs earlier were all appearing on the screen at this moment.

Most of them were filled with nervousness and unease as they carefully advanced.

“Haha, Jin Zhengmin, you’re getting more and more familiar with the Heart Calling Mirror.”

The Principal, who was sitting not far away, immediately laughed and praised when he saw this scene.

Hearing the Principal’s words, Jin Zhengmin, who had a serious expression on his face, immediately turned around and said with a smile, “What are you talking about, Principal? I’ve just used it many times and my hands are familiar with it.”

“Next, the two of you should observe carefully and see which students are the most worthy of training.”

As he spoke, Jin Zhengmin immediately found a seat and sat down. He looked at the bubble floating in the air with a focused expression.

There were hundreds of tunnels, caves, and pits in this frozen cavern. The routes that could be taken were like a spider web, densely packed enough to make people dizzy.

In addition, the teams that entered the underground cave would be randomly teleported to dozens of starting points, making it very difficult to meet each other.

Therefore, if he wanted to safely adventure in the Catacombs, he could only rely on himself and his two other teammates.

For the others, at least they had companions they could rely on and did not have to worry about the danger behind them.

However, to Lin Xiu, danger was revealed everywhere here. He could not even trust things that were behind him.

His two teammates could not wait for him to die, so how could they help him?

Therefore, when the sense of weightlessness brought by the teleportation array disappeared, Lin Xiu immediately dodged to the side. At the same time, he put on the Boots of Hermes and the Double-Edged Battle Axe, fully prepared for battle!

The moment he put on the boots, he felt his entire body lighten. He even had the illusion that he could float in the air as long as he stood on his tiptoes.

“As expected of a shoe named after one of the 24 Gods. Its effects are truly powerful.”

With this thought in mind, after sensing that there was no danger in the surroundings, Lin Xiu immediately walked out from the shadows.

Not far away, Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun also slowly opened their eyes. After entering the Catacombs, the first thing they did was not to familiarize themselves with the surroundings, but to stare at Lin Xiu with an inexplicable expression.

In the quiet Catacombs, several whispers of ‘Appraisal’ sounded at the same time.

Staring at the System panel that appeared in front of him, Lin Xiu was surprised. He also expected the other two to see his skills and attributes.

“Level 2? You must have eaten the Experience Pill.”

Lin Xiu’s gaze was fixed on the vigilant Ding Shiyu as he spoke in a suspicious tone.

In the dark cave, the sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time. The air was filled with the smell of decay. This environment was no less than a scene in a horror movie.

At this moment, Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun’s expressions were also somewhat ugly.

They had never expected that Lin Xiu would actually learn so many skills in a short day. What made them even more puzzled was how the Lin Family, which was already on the verge of bankruptcy, could afford Purple Crystal quality equipment!

Looking at the System interface, Lin Xiu’s special style boots in his equipment column, the two’s expressions were uncertain, as if they were somewhat shaken.

“How is my new pair of shoes? Do you like them?”

Seeing that the other party had no intention of answering, and his trump card had already been exposed, Lin Xiu simply did not hide it anymore. Instead, he said with a smug expression.

“Hehe, do you think a pair of Purple Crystal quality shoes can guarantee that you’ll be able to walk out of the Frost Cave alive today?!” Wan Zhuoyun’s expression was cold as he gritted his teeth and said.

Looking at the other party’s face, he was so angry that he could not help but think of the incident yesterday that humiliated his character!

Until now, he could not forget his ugly state last night.

The hatred in his heart towards Lin Xiu was even more intense, so Wan Zhuoyun would not let him off just because Lin Xiu was wearing a pair of Purple Crystal quality shoes!

Seeing Wan Zhuoyun’s strong attitude, Ding Shiyu regained some of her confidence.

“No matter how you jump around today, you won’t be able to escape the fate of becoming a corpse,” she said coldly.

“Don’t forget that we’re in a team now. Unless we agree, you can forget about escaping!”

Looking at the other party’s murderous expression, the smile on Lin Xiu’s face did not diminish, but instead became a little brighter.

“Thank you for your reminder, but there’s one thing I don’t understand. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Academy by talking about this in public?”

Lin Xiu said in surprise as he pointed at the fist-sized light spot that was floating not far away and did not fit in with the surrounding environment.

“Haha, do you expect Instructor Jin and the six teaching assistants to save you? Don’t be ridiculous. Instructor Jin helped us a lot to be able to be in the same group as you.”

Wan Zhuoyun saw that Lin Xiu still did not give up and immediately mocked him.

“Besides, even if the Heart Calling Mirror can record images, it can’t capture sound. We don’t need to do anything. We have ways to kill you!”

Without hiding anything, Wan Zhuoyun directly revealed his plan. In his opinion, even if Lin Xiu was lucky enough to get a Purple Crystal grade equipment, he would definitely not be able to escape from this Catacomb.

Therefore, even if he said it in advance, the other party had no choice.

On the contrary, he was able to obtain Lin Xiu’s Purple Crystal boots after killing him.

As for the binding restrictions, as long as the person died, it would not count.

Therefore, in Wan Zhuoyun’s eyes, Lin Xiu was just a monster that would drop gold coins. So what if he revealed his plan?

After he finished speaking, the cave where the three of them were was instantly so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
