"Level 8 World Proof (Incomplete)"
Yang Tao picked up the stone slab from the spider's corpse, and a line of text appeared in his vision.
"This is what that spider was about to hand over just now?"
The stone slab was engraved with exquisite patterns, and it even felt warm to the touch, but the slab was clearly incomplete.
"Centaur…"
Although he didn't know how to use this thing, it should be something good.
He threw the incomplete spider corpse into his backpack, converting it all into energy value.
However, the value wasn't very high, perhaps because all the essence had splattered around during the self-detonation just now.
Now, it had completely calmed down; all the surrounding spiders had vanished, and only then did Yang Tao notice the nauseating smell permeating the air.
He looked around, confirmed there was nothing valuable, and then Yang Tao summoned his magic broom and flew to the upper level of the cave.
He took out a bucket of milk and guzzled it down, dispelling all the various negative buffs on him.
Then, Yang Tao put on a pained expression and grumbled, "The air down here doesn't circulate at all. I wonder when the smell will dissipate… It's even more stimulating than an uncleaned public restroom."
First, he drank a bottle of [Regeneration Potion], then took out a bottle of Almond water to replenish his hunger and restore his dangerously low health.
He used cobblestone to block the cave below, and instantly, the air in the entire cave became much fresher.
At least it wasn't so nauseating.
Yang Tao looked at the iron ingots scattered everywhere, the small amount of cobalt ingots, and the bright red poppies, feeling a bit downhearted.
'Still not strong enough… Not to mention the Sword of the Cosmos, even if I had the Red Matter Sword , Iron Bro and the others wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves…'
Although Iron Bro's purpose was to be expendable, being so easily consumed by a group of spiders was simply too wasteful.
He picked up the drops on the ground.
Yang Tao flew deeper into the Cave.
This time, he didn't find any Entities on the way; they seemed to have vanished without a trace at this moment.
Level 8's Cave was very large, but Yang Tao didn't explore deeper into it. During his journey, he also discovered some Almond water pools and gained a large amount of experience.
He rode on his magic broom, searching for the entrance to Level 9.
"What's that?"
Some clearly man-made structures appeared in the distance.
Yang Tao controlled his magic broom and flew over, landing in front of these dilapidated houses.
Besides the sound of dripping water, there was also a crackling sound, very much like the static from an old television with poor signal.
In the middle of the houses stood a silver-white pipe; its pristine appearance looked out of place with its surroundings.
Some information about Level 8's exits came to Yang Tao's mind.
[Some old televisions, cutting through them will lead you to Level 104.]"
[Rare small silver passages will connect to Level 75.]"
"Two exits at once? No… three!"
Yang Tao saw the perforated boards laid on the ground and smiled. As long as he randomly stepped into these perforated boards on the ground, he would be transported to Level 9.
Of course, if he was unlucky, he might be sent to Level 69.
First, he summoned a wooden door from this place. Yang Tao stepped on a wooden perforated board that resembled a manhole cover.
(A perforated board is a board with many holes.)
He took out an ender pearl from his backpack and threw it forcefully onto the ground. The dark green ender pearl directly passed through the perforated board and disappeared.
A few seconds later.
Yang Tao's body abruptly vanished, replaced by a large amount of purple particles.
When Yang Tao regained his senses, he found himself on an asphalt road. Not far away, a streetlamp emitted a faint light, illuminating the surroundings.
However, the light was quite dim, barely allowing one to see the road and the trees on both sides; places further away were still swallowed by darkness.
Yang Tao took out a bottle of Night Vision Potion from his backpack and drank it.
In his vision, the surroundings became as bright as day, but further away, a large amount of mist still lingered, and this was something the Night Vision Potion couldn't solve.
Streets, houses, and trees were everywhere. Although the styles of the houses varied, they gave a very discordant feeling.
Staring at the distant mist, he felt as if that dense fog was moving with a conscious will.
Just as he was about to go check the situation.
A voice came from the house beside him.
"Hey, don't just stand there, come over here quickly."
Following the voice, it was an American male in his thirties. His light brown short hair looked very energetic, and he wore a camouflage combat uniform he'd gotten from who-knew-where.
"Hurry up, the Crusher is coming!"
The other person's voice was very anxious, clearly indicating that something bad was about to happen.
Yang Tao quickly walked towards that house. He didn't know the other person's personality or disposition, but the green health bar border let him know that the other person had no ill will.
As for anything else, did it matter?
The man pulled him into the house, then warily scanned the environment outside before tightly closing the door and pulling a cabinet to block it.
Yang Tao surveyed the interior of the room: sofa, television, coffee table, all complete. If it were a rental, one could simply move in with a bag.
The room wasn't occupied by just the one person who had pulled him in; two men and one woman were also sitting on the sofa.
The man closed the door, then looked at Yang Tao with a smile and said, "Friend, my name is Mice. Did you come from Level 8? I just saw you appear out of thin air on the street."
Yang Tao showed a friendly smile and said, "That's right, I came through the perforated board in Level 8. My name is Yang Tao, and I really didn't expect to meet other people so quickly."
He was speaking the truth; aside from some habitable levels and outposts, the probability of encountering other people outside was very low.
Mice smiled and led Yang Tao into the living room. On the living room table was a small table lamp.
The lamp's light was extremely dim.
It barely illuminated the faces of a few people.
Mice pointed to the empty single sofa and said, "Sit down, take a rest."
"Ade, get some food out."
Ade, sitting on the sofa, didn't question Mice's decision. He took out some scavenged food from the backpack beside his feet, placed it on the coffee table, pushed it towards Yang Tao, and said, "Hello, friend, my name is Ade. Please eat something first."
Ade's voice was calm, but his words brought a slight smile to Yang Tao's face.
"Thank you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Tao. It's a pleasure to meet you."
As long as he didn't add "9527" when introducing himself, he generally wouldn't be associated with his alias.
"Are you a group specifically surviving in Level 9?"
Mice nodded gently and then sat on the sofa beside Ade.
"That's right, friend. Are you interested in joining us? Although exploring Level 9 is somewhat dangerous, the resources here are abundant."
Yang Tao showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and said, "I'm afraid I can't join you. I came to Level 9 this time to find a parrot, a parrot with the name 'Blue Skinny Chicken' on its head."
