We're Just Deliverymen for Dog Food

Before Bai Xiaowen, no one had entered the entrance to the Undead Sinkhole. Everyone was patient and waited for their fellow alumnus. But once someone went in, it became difficult for the others to wait patiently.

Bai Xiaowen's arrival was like the first spring breeze breaking through the frozen river.

Bao Yiming, the team captain from Shandong University, patted his butt and said, "Tsk, why isn't anyone from our university here? I'm not waiting any longer, I'll go in and take a look." He strolled down the slope.

Duanmucheng, the captain of Wannan University, also led two awakened alumni from Wannan University inside.

Qi Ruifeng glanced at Wang Jin, Geng Chen, and the others, then said to Ruan Chong, "Let's go in too. We don't need to wait for Ye Xing and Li Sheng."

The third and fourth batches... groups of awakened beings stepped onto the entrance ramp of the Undead Sinkhole. Wang Jin and Geng Chen couldn't wait any longer and followed suit.

Laughter echoed through the mist as Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi each recounted their experiences along the way.

Bai Xiaowen's experience was even more exciting and thrilling. After hearing that he had killed three level-six Boss Tier, one level-seven Boss Tier, and a large number of Elite Tier monsters, Li Shuyi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Bai Xiaowen's Black Soul Stone was upgraded to level 5, and the new Dark Gold Tier accessory, Absolon's Blood Essence Stone, was also added. These two pieces of news made Li Shuyi's eyes sparkle. After the initial shock, she was extremely happy, even happier than if she had become stronger herself.

She and Bai Xiaowen were now permanently on the same team, sharing both glory and ruin. Bai Xiaowen's strengthening would undoubtedly benefit her as well. Of course, Li Shuyi's happiness also stemmed from a woman's common desire: most women hope their men can be strong and supportive, providing for them—and strong women are no exception.

Li Shuyi wants to be a strong woman, but the prerequisite for a strong woman to find happy love is to meet a man who is stronger than her, who can conquer her and give her support.

Bai Xiaowen then took out the Gold Equipment [Ghost Mist Veil]: "I got this equipment from the Banshee Commander BOSS. You don't have any headgear right now, right? Here, you can use this for now."

Li Shuyi knew that Bai Xiaowen had used Guild Contribution Points to exchange for the [Agate Silver Ring] and already had a better headgear, so she didn't refuse. She took the Ghost Mist Veil, put it on, and smiled, "Party binding is so convenient."

After donning the Ghost Mist Veil, Li Shuyi's beautiful face was hidden beneath a thin veil, her delicate features appearing and disappearing, adding to her mysterious allure. Bai Xiaowen even wondered if the Ghost Mist Veil possessed an added charm.

Li Shuyi's original spirit was 11 points, Ghost Mist Veil added 4 points to her spirit, bringing it to 15 points.

Including the Meditation effect of the Ghost Mist Veil, which restores an additional 1 point of Divine Might per minute, Li Shuyi's Divine Might recovery speed reached 2.5 points per minute, which to some extent solved her problem of insufficient Divine Might and weak endurance.

It's important to know that Li Shuyi's [Double Slash] is a small skill with a very short cooldown. If she has enough Divine Might, Li Shuyi can unleash multiple Double Slash in a single battle, which greatly enhances her combat power.

After donning the Ghost Mist Veil, Li Shuyi smiled and said to Bai Xiaowen, "My adventures at the Dead Spirit Lake weren't as dramatic as yours, but I did manage to kill a level 6 Banshee BOSS. Luckily, I had the Demonfire Jade Pendant to add fire damage, otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to handle it."

As Li Shuyi spoke, she also took out a piece of equipment and handed it to Bai Xiaowen: "This dropped by the Banshee BOSS, it's a shoulder guard. I remember you don't have any shoulder equipment yet, so I kept it for you."

This is also a piece of Gold Equipment.

[Ghost Pauldrons (Bind on Pickup)]

[Quality: Heroic Tier (Gold)]

[Equipment Slot: Shoulder]

[Equipment Requirements: None]

[Attributes: Spirit +3, Constitution +2]

[Additional Skills: None]

[Durability: 34/35]

[Note: Lady Adele's long sigh lingered on this relic of the deceased.]

"You don't have shoulder armor either," Bai Xiaowen said.

"It looks even better on you, it makes you look more energetic," Li Shuyi smiled sweetly and charmingly. "Don't refuse, or I'll get angry."

"Okay." Bai Xiaowen understood Li Shuyi's thoughts and did not refuse. He accepted the Ghost Pauldrons and chose to wear them. Two slightly illusory shoulder guard shadows extended from the shoulders of his Warlock's Robe, and there seemed to be wisps of Ghost Mist slowly rising from the shoulder guards. They looked quite good.

Furthermore, with the addition of 3 points to Spirit, Bai Xiaowen's total Spirit attribute reached 50 points. This means that his summoned creatures can enjoy a Spirit bonus of +5 to all attributes, further enhancing their strength.

Bai Xiaowen glanced at the Ghost Mist Veil covering Li Shuyi's face.

Li Shuyi glanced at the Ghost Pauldrons on Bai Xiaowen's shoulders.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

However, this sweet atmosphere was shattered by an untimely cough.

"Um... excuse me, is your team still short of people?" A seemingly honest voice came from behind.

Li Shuyi's face hardened. "No, we don't need any."

The two turned around and saw a burly, fat man walking towards them through the mist, smiling broadly, "Hey, don't be so quick to refuse."

Li Shuyi's expression changed slightly. She recognized the burly man as Bao Yiming, the captain of Shandong University, who, like Bai Xiaowen, was also Hero Class. In the previous year, Jinghai University was eliminated by Shandong University in the first round of the CUAA National Championship. To be precise, they lost to this burly man.

"Senior Bao, we're not even that close, why are you being a third wheel? You're so strong, you don't need to team up with us, right?" Bai Xiaowen said.

Bao Yiming chuckled, "The mountain path is too narrow, I'm definitely going to have to follow behind you... Whether you like it or not, I'm going to be this third wheel. Anyway, your time together is ruined, so why not take me with you to fight monsters... I can take a smaller share of the loot, okay?"

"No way," Bai Xiaowen thought to herself. This fat guy really has a thick skin.

"Okay, I'll ask again later." Bao Yiming obediently followed behind Bai Xiaowen and the other person.

Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen exchanged a glance; the tenderness they had just shared had been completely ruined by this fatso.

This is a steep mountain path, only wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side, not suitable for fighting. Moreover, using force to drive this fatso away would be somewhat inhumane.

"Fine, if you won't leave, we will." Bai Xiaowen quickened her pace helplessly.

Bao Yiming followed closely, saying, "Don't worry, you can't shake me off... Really, take me with you, I'm really good."

"You can't shake them off? I don't think so." Bai Xiaowen smiled, then suddenly stopped.

Bao Yiming said confidently, "The mountain road is so narrow, there's only one slope. You think you can shake me off? Unless you grow wings."

"We don't have wings, but we can fly."

Bai Xiaowen reached out and put his arm around Li Shuyi's slender yet firm waist. The two looked at each other and smiled sweetly before leaping down the slope and into the depths of the Undead Sinkhole.

"Hey! Don't do anything rash!" Bao Yiming exclaimed in surprise as the two figures jumped off the cliff.

Whoosh!

The Tribal Feather Cloak unfurled behind Bai Xiaowen, activating his Gliding skill!

Under Bao Yiming's astonished gaze, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi Gliding side by side, like a pair of lovebirds, nimbly changing direction in the air, slowly gliding into the depths of the Undead Sinkhole, disappearing into the thick Ghost Mist.

After a long while, Bao Yiming finally came to his senses and jumped up suddenly.

"Damn it, I was caught off guard and served a bowl of dog food! I'm not eating it, I'm kicking it over!"
