The cold-air cartoon ethereal shadows easily found the rat corpses killed by Yang Zicang (杨子藏) and chased along the blood trail.
寒气卡通虚影很容易便找到了被杨子藏所击杀的老鼠尸首，顺着血迹路线一路追逐。
In Shao Min’s perception perspective, countless pipes intertwined like a three-dimensional spider web.
邵敏的感知视角中，无数管道纵横交错，宛若立体蛛网。
Passing by several monster corpses, he gradually saw the figures of monsters rushing toward him, drawn by the blood and the cries of their kind.
略过几处怪物尸首后，逐渐可以看到一只只被血腥与同类叫声所吸引而来的怪物奔驰的身影。
“Worthy of being formed by a B-level Intersecting Land. This alternate dimension actually has so many monsters.”
“不愧是B级交错地所形成，这异度空间居然有这么多怪物。”
It continued downward.
它继续不断往下。
…
……
In the depths of the metal passages, forty or fifty meters down.
金属通道四五十米的曲折深处。
Wearing an old shirt, Yang Zicang was running for his life. Behind him, a large group of rats—like packs of hunting dogs—swarmed from all directions, at least fifty or sixty of them at a glance.
穿着旧衬衫的杨子藏正夺命狂奔，身后一大群老鼠宛若一群群猎狗，从各处蜂拥而至，一眼望去不下五六十只。
Because of the commotion, more and more mutant rats were coming from steel pipes above, below, left, and right, like a rushing monster army.
因为动静很大，周围已经有越来越多的变异老鼠从上下左右的各种钢铁管道赶来，宛若奔腾的怪物军队。
A dozen meters ahead was a broken pipe.
前方十来米外是片断裂的管道。
The surrounding space had collapsed. Below was bottomless. Only a giant steel pipe protruding from the high ground opposite, a dozen meters away.
周围空间坍塌，下方深不见底，仅有对面高处十来米的距离有半截冒出来的巨型钢管。
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
“吱吱吱！”
“Roar roar roar roar roar!”
“吼吼吼吼吼呜！”
Yang Zicang was furious. Why was it that kid could stay here for a whole day and night without trouble, yet the moment he came, he attracted so many monsters?
杨子藏气急，为什么那小子在这里待一天一夜都没事，自己一来就引动了这么多怪物。
No choice. Without time to think, glancing back at the dense, cold-glowing eyes behind him, the young man, with Liang Xi watching anxiously, charged toward the break ahead.
没办法了，不及细想，望了眼身后密密麻麻冒着寒光的眼睛，青年在梁喜紧张的心情中冲向了前方的断口之处。
[Brother Yang…]
[杨哥…]
Liang Xi felt that he had caused this person’s harm.
梁喜只觉得是自己害了这个人。
In the perception scene, Yang Zicang showed no sign of stopping. He rushed toward the pipe’s edge with incredible speed, with no deceleration.
感知画面中的杨子藏根本没有停下脚步的意思，他速度奇快的冲向管道边缘，毫无减速动作。
Liang Xi instinctively closed his eyes, unable to bear watching.
梁喜下意识闭眼，不忍看这一幕。
Suddenly, a chill surged from behind. A strange twin cartoon figure rushed from high above in the tunnel behind!
身后突然涌来寒意，一道诡异的双生卡通形象从隧道后方的高处涌来！
[I use Primary Corpse Leap!]
[我使用初级尸跳！]
Yang Zicang crouched on both legs and leaped up.
杨子藏双腿下蹲，一跃而起。
Outside, Shao Min saw so many rats swarming like mad dogs. Even though he wasn’t there, he could feel the fear. He silently vowed never to set foot in this godforsaken place.
外界，邵敏看到那么多老鼠如疯狗般群起，哪怕他不在现场，都能感受到那份胆寒。暗自发誓绝不进入这鬼地方一步。
But when he saw the figure moving faster than the rats at full sprint, his heart suddenly jumped.
然而当他看到那速度比全力冲刺的老鼠还快的身影后，他心中猛然跳动了下。
This person’s speed was so fast.
这人的速度好快。
It seemed this kid’s ability wasn’t just the rumored wind field—it probably also included acceleration.
看来这小子能力并非仅是传闻中的风场，应该还有加速。
“What a pity, provoking a monster swarm the moment he arrived. This is… the consequence of not knowing how to revere this world.”
“可惜一来就惹到怪物群。这就是…不懂敬畏这世界的下场。”
The platform “seed” given by Ma Chao should be saved.
马超给的站台“种子”应该省下了。
Just as he finished speaking, Shao Min saw from the cartoon phantom’s perspective: that young, agile figure leaped up from the edge of the broken pipe, defying all reason!
刚说完，邵敏便从卡通幻影的视角中见到，那道年轻的矫健身影在断裂的管道边缘不合常理的一跃而起！
“What!”
“什么！”
Like a poor-quality special effect in a movie, Yang Zicang’s arms dragging and swinging, with just a bend of his legs, he leaped seven or eight meters high!
仿佛电影里劣质特效的冲刺动作，杨子藏双手拖拉荡漾着，仅凭双腿一曲便能跃起七八米高！
But the pipe opening on the high opposite side was still several meters away.
但对面高处冒出的管道口还差好几米。
“He’s still going to fall!” Shao Min watched nervously.
“还是会掉下去吧！”绍敏紧张的看着。
Woom woom!
嗡嗡！
Several whip shadows several meters long swept toward him. Yang Zicang let out a low roar, and his body suddenly surged upward again. The whip shadows grazed under his feet.
数道数米长的鞭影席卷而来，杨子藏低吼一声，身体呼地一下再次冲起，鞭影擦着他的脚底划过。
Second acceleration in mid-air!
空中二次加速！
With a bang, Yang Zicang’s hands grabbed the edge of the pipe.
砰地声，杨子藏双手猛然抓住管道边缘。
Seeing this, Shao Min’s face was full of confusion. This was possible? No wonder he had heard many rumors about this newcomer when he returned last night.
见到这一幕的邵敏满脸疑惑，这也可以？难怪昨晚回来，听到了许多关于这新人的传言。
“Hmph, but you will still die.”
“哼，但你还是会死。”
Shao Min’s gaze turned dark.
邵敏目光转而暗沉。
He controlled the cold-air twins to quickly rush out of the large pipe where the monsters had gathered and head diagonally upward.
他控制寒气双生子迅速冲出怪物们聚集的大管道，往斜上方冲去。
Just as Yang Zicang was getting one leg up, the cold mist, almost overlapping his back, stuffed the small mist platform model they were holding into Yang Zicang’s head.
在杨子藏刚爬上去一只腿时，这团寒雾几乎与之背部重叠般，将它们手上托举的小雾气站台模型塞入了杨子藏的头颅之内。
“Success!”
“成功了！”
Shao Min smiled to himself and ended the use of his ability. This consumed a lot of Time Sequence.
邵敏暗自一笑，结束了能力的运用。这可是很消耗时序的。
Yang Zicang felt a chill in his head, as if a strong emotional interference had appeared.
杨子藏感觉到脑袋一片寒意，似有强烈的情绪干扰出现。
Looking down below, several chasing rats couldn’t stop in time, leaped out of the passage just like him, and fell into the deep darkness. It was a long time before faint echoes of them hitting the ground were heard.
低头看了眼下方，几道追逐的老鼠来不及刹住速度，跟他一般跃出通道口后，摔落进了黑暗的深处，许久才听到淡淡的落地回声。
In the deep depths below, black smoke rose from the bodies of the monsters that had fallen to their death, visible to no one, then slowly dissipated.
深邃的下方，摔死的怪物尸体身上冒出无人可见的黑烟上浮，又缓慢消散。
…
……
Yang Zicang struggled up into this tunnel that had been unentered for a long time.
杨子藏吃力爬上这长久无人进入的坑道。
{Brother Yang, I admire you so much! But, something seemed to appear behind you just now. It looked like mist.}
{杨哥，我太崇拜你了！但是，刚刚好像有什么东西在你背后出现。像是雾气。}
He turned his head to look behind him. Where was there any mist? But Yang Zicang’s heart sank. Combined with that emotional feeling just now, he had probably been secretly targeted by someone.
他转头看了眼身后，哪里有什么雾气。不过杨子藏心中一沉，结合着刚才的那种情绪感受，恐怕自己着了什么人的暗算。
“Squeak squeak!”
“吱吱！”
“Roar!”
“吼呜！”
The monsters gathered, spinning around restlessly. But this high passage was thick with dust and extremely quiet.
怪物们聚集，狂躁的打着转。但高处这通道内却灰尘很厚，安静无比。
Up here, there should be no danger for now.
这上面应该暂时没有危险了。
Looking at the monsters crowding at the pipe opening, roaring at him, “Heh.” Yang Zicang felt a strong bloodthirsty desire and only wanted to retaliate immediately.
看向身后那些拥挤在管道口朝着自己嘶吼的怪物们。“呵。”杨子藏只觉得当下有股强烈的嗜血欲望，只想马上给与报复。
Regardless of why they had gone mad, this was exactly the best time for harvesting.
不管它们为何发狂，这恰恰是最好的收割时机。
He pulled a handful of prepared small pebbles from his pocket. The ring of light appeared on his chest.
他从衣兜内掏出一把准备好的小石子，胸前光圈浮现。
“Die!”
“死吧！”
A dozen curved trajectories crossed the staggered space.
十来道曲线轨迹划过错落空间。
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
砰砰砰砰！
Every precise strike exploded the head of a monster rat. The opening below directly turned into something like a slaughterhouse.
精准的每一击都爆掉了一只怪物老鼠的头颅，下方洞口直接化为屠宰场一般。
[I gained 13N.]
[我收获了13N.]
[I gained 21.7N.]
[我收获了21.7N.]
The model’s telepathic voices sounded like an exploding waterfall. Dense roars came from below, making Yang Zicang extremely excited.
模型的心念之声爆瀑般响起，下方传来密集吼叫，令杨子藏兴奋不已。
He threw two more handfuls of pebbles. The monsters, sensing trouble, retreated a lot.
又是两把石子抛出，怪物们见势不妙后撤许多。
[I gained a total of 521.7N.]
[我共计收获了521.7N。]
“Ha! Truly heaven.” Yang Zicang himself didn’t know how evil his own smile was at that moment.
“哈！真是天堂。”杨子藏自己都不知道自己此刻的笑容有多邪恶。
The rats in the passage below no longer dared to appear at the edge.
下方通道的老鼠已经不敢在边缘出现了。
The stench in the air hit his face, causing his maddened emotions to ease somewhat, and Yang Zicang gradually sobered up. He looked at the horrifying scene below and gradually felt his stomach churn.
空气中的恶臭扑面，让疯狂情绪缓和些的杨子藏逐渐清醒，他看了眼下方的骇人场面，逐渐感觉胃中有些翻滚。
“I can’t stand it.”
“受不了了。”
He quickly turned and ran into the passage. One more second and he would have thrown up.
他赶紧转身跑进通道，再晚一秒都会吐出来。
[Brother Yang, I wish I could be there with you right now!]
{杨哥，好想马上到你那边去啊！}
Liang Xi watched with surging excitement.
梁喜看得热血澎湃。
The boy who had been in this world for a month, even though he had gotten used to the sight of monster corpses, was still deeply shocked to see this through the perception perspective. He could actually control the trajectories and strike ranges of so many pebbles at the same time! He was simply born for this kind of terrain.
在这世界待了一个月的男孩哪怕已经习惯了怪物的尸体画面，但通过感知视角看到这一幕依旧震撼不已。他竟然能同时控制那么多石子的轨迹和打击范围！简直就是为了这种地形而生。
…
……
But Yang Zicang, now moving along the pipe, sighed inwardly. Fortunately, he had inexplicably gained that leaping ability last night—otherwise, he would have been dead for sure.
而此刻顺着管道前行的杨子藏却心中暗叹，还好昨晚莫名奇妙获得了那跳跃的能力，否则就死定了。
Worthy of being a dangerous place that Captain Luo Xin had warned about.
不愧是罗鑫队长叮嘱过的危险之地。
Feeling how useful the skill was, he tried hard to recall the information from the nightmare. It seemed he had heard some voices back then.
感受到技能的好用后，他努力回想着噩梦时的讯息，当时似乎听到了什么声音。
[Let me think. Yesterday’s daily… content… what was it…]
[让我想想，昨日的每日…内容是什么…]
It seemed to be… a summary!
好像是…总结！
Yang Zicang had a flash of insight. With this starting point, it was like breaking through a paper window—he suddenly remembered some of the content.
杨子藏灵光一闪，有了这个由头，就像是捅破了窗户纸般，他一下回忆起来一些内容。
It was the daily summary!
是每日总结！
His eyebrows twisted together. First, he had met the average hourly gain, and then there was something about a “Post Badge” or something. He couldn’t remember anything else.
他眉毛扭成一团，首先是自己达标了每小时的平均收获，然后还有个“邮徽”什么的。其它已经想不起来了。
The passage wasn’t long. After turning a corner, fluorescent light glowed in the darkness ahead.
通道并不长，转个弯后，前方的黑暗中亮起荧光。
It was a cave.
是个洞穴。
On the walls and in the corners of the cave, many blue crystals the length of a thumb had grown.
其中的壁穴上以及墙角长出许多拇指长的蓝色晶石。
“Magic crystals?” He had seen these things on the material shelves. He only glanced at these crystals before his gaze fell on an old iron table beside the cave, abandoned for who knows how many years. Dust and sand had almost completely buried this corner of the table.
“魔晶？”材料架子上见到过这些东西。他只是扫了眼这些晶石，目光就落在了洞穴旁的已经遗弃不知多少年的陈旧铁桌上。灰尘与沙石几乎将桌子这个角落尽数埋没。
Yang Zicang tried covering his mouth and nose with one hand while using the other to push the dust and soil to the ground. But when he pushed, a half-corpse hidden within, reduced to bones, fell to the ground with a thud.
杨子藏试着一只手捂住口鼻，另一只手将这些灰石泥土掀到地上，但用手一推，隐藏于其中的仅剩骸骨的半截尸体咚地声倒在地上。
The small box in its arms also fell to the ground.
它怀中的小盒子也随之掉落在地。
[I have found the trace of a ‘Book Volume’.]
[我找到了‘书册’的踪迹。]
Yang Zicang listened to the telepathic voice, reached out, and pinched the small wooden box from the dust. Opening it, he revealed a silver-white curled paper of strange material.
杨子藏听着心念之声，伸出手从灰尘中捏起那只小木盒，将它打开后，其中露出一张材质怪异的银白卷曲纸张。
It was like the currency material of some countries on Earth, with intricate and elegant dark patterns and the script of an unknown civilization.
它就像是地球上某些国度的钱币材料，有着繁复优雅的暗纹，上面是未知文明的文字。
“A Liang, do you know what a Book Volume is?”
“阿梁，你知道书册是什么吗？”
{Book Volume? Is it a Book Page? Mm, I think I heard someone say that people from Headquarters are collecting it. Some say it relates to the reason for this city and our appearance.}
{书册？是书页吗。唔，我好像听人说过总部的人在搜集它，有人说它关系到这个城市和我们出现的原因。}
Then, Liang Xi exclaimed.
随后，梁喜惊呼起来。
{Ah, Brother Yang, have you found a Book Page? I think the Hunter Alliance Headquarters said that finding any page can earn generous rewards!}
{啊，杨大哥，难道你找到书页了？猎怪者联盟的总部好像说过，找到任何一页页面都可以获得丰厚的奖励欸！}
Yang Zicang’s heart jumped. It seemed this was a very important thing, something even Headquarters people were collecting.
杨子藏的心一跳，看来这是个非常重要的东西，连总部的人都在搜集它们。
It surely held the deep secrets about this world.
它肯定隐藏着关于这个世界的深层秘密。
Perhaps through them, he could find the possibility of going back.
或许通过它们自己还能找到回去的可能。
[This is the script of another world. I, as the great Quadrilateral, only know this: only by obtaining an item containing a Bloodline Ring can one read it.]
[这是其它世界的文字，我作为伟大的四边形，也仅仅只是知晓：如果获得蕴含血脉之环的物品，方可借其读懂它。]
Bloodline Ring?
血脉之环？
Yang Zicang listened to this telepathic voice and silently noted this word.
杨子藏听着这心念之声，他暗暗记下了这个词汇。
He looked around. This place was like a study in a cave. There were also collapsed iron bookshelves around, but unfortunately, the books on them had already turned to ashes. Searching through them one by one, he finally found an intact book with a hard cover among a pile of books that would disintegrate upon touch.
他看向周围，此地像是个洞窟里的书房，周围还有塌陷的铁质书架，可惜上面的书已经化为灰烬了。挨个找去，终于在一堆触碰下便会毁坏的书籍中，找到了本坚硬封面的完好书籍。
It was cast from a metal similar to tin and black iron. Every page was like that.
它由类似锡与黑铁的金属所铸造，每一页都是如此。
Opening its first page, there was an image of a monster sculpture filled with an eerie atmosphere.
翻开它的第一页，上面是个充满诡异气氛的怪物雕塑图像。
On the subsequent pages, besides the unknown script, various symbols, mineral and plant images were drawn, like the refining process of some thing. The last few pages had extensive totems and constellation patterns, and finally a magical formation.
后面的页面中除了那些未知文字外，还绘制着各种符号、矿植物形象，像是某种事物的炼制过程，最后几页有着大篇幅的图腾与星座图案，最后是副魔法阵。
The moment he saw the patterns like a magical formation, Yang Zicang felt his head spin.
看到魔法阵般纹路的瞬间，杨子藏感觉脑袋一晕。
