Chapter 193 Aunt, I’m Here to See You
"Come and help!"
Zhou Yixi called out to Mo Ru, then rushed forward holding two blood-stained swords and stabbed them straight into the eyes of a humanoid spider.
The green blood covered the red snake blood. Zhou Yixi herself didn't care too much about it. It was already dirty anyway, so it didn't matter if it got dirtier.
However, Feng Ling looked away silently after seeing it, his stomach churning.
Feng Ling cursed in his heart: Why can't I adapt to these things? I have obviously seen quite a few of them.
But even though he cursed in his heart, his hands became more and more brutal. He soon chopped off all the limbs of the humanoid spider, leaving it unable to move.
There seemed to be an ice sculpture of a spider next to it. Mo Ru shot at the spider in time to add damage, and each shot accurately hit the spider's fatal point.
Mo Lu fired calmly, always keeping herself at a safe distance. She would not approach her prey without absolute safety. The pistol could only hold a limited number of bullets, so Mo Lu had to ensure she had enough time to change the magazine.
This time she went to the dungeon not to increase her level, but to have enough points to upgrade her pistol item. If she upgrades it to another level, the pistol will have the attribute of unlimited bullets. In order to safely pass the memory copy, Mo Ru must ensure that her items are strong enough.
Because... she has no teammates.
Looking at Zhou Yixi who had help from her teammates, Mo Ru was indeed a little envious, but she would not change her mind about not looking for her teammates.
After dealing with the last humanoid spider, everyone except Mo Ru was more or less covered in the spider's blood. Among them, Liang Tan and Zhou Yixi were the worst hit, with almost no clean spot on their bodies.
But they don't have time to clean themselves up now, because too much time has been wasted in dealing with these monsters. They have to meet Tao Nian before those members of the Tao family find out.
Tao Qin, the instigator who led them here, was surrounded by them. Under the threat of various blood-stained weapons, he finally told the truth.
"Aunt Tao Nian is here, but she's on the next floor. Grandma won't let me tell anyone."
Mo Ru tapped her face twice with his pistol. "Since you knew Grandma wouldn't let you talk about it, why did you bring it up? Are you trying to show off your skills in front of the other sisters?"
Tao Qin quietly defended herself: "No."
But the guilt in her eyes did not escape the players' eyes, and everyone knew what she was thinking.
Walking along a safe passage, Tao Qin groped on the wall and soon found the mechanism.
Pulling the hidden rope outwards, a circular hole appeared on the ground. Tao Qin climbed down the ladder made of rope and soon reached the next cellar.
The second cellar is built entirely of smooth stone walls, giving it the feel of an underground mausoleum.
Special red candles were lit everywhere, the entire cellar was warm, and the blood on Zhou Yixi's body showed obvious signs of coagulation.
All NPCs except Tao Qin stayed in the first-level cellar, and Tao Qin began to tell the players some things that could not be told to others.
"Aunt Tao Nian actually doesn't want to get married. No one wants to marry a dead person."
Lian Wu asked tentatively, "The one from the Li family?"
"Yes, it's the eldest son of the Li family. Honestly, I don't understand why they have to marry off a dead son. It's not like they only have that one son. If Aunt Tao Nian had married the second son, she wouldn't have been so heartbroken."
Zhou Yixi asked, "Does Aunt Tao Nian like the Second Young Master?"
"Not really, Aunt Tao Nian..." Tao Qin hesitated for a moment, as if struggling over whether she should say it or not. After a mental struggle, she chose to tell the truth.
"Alas, Aunt Tao Nian likes Fourteenth Uncle, but they are cousins, so how can this be allowed? When Grandma found out, she was furious and locked Aunt Tao Nian in the cellar, saying she wanted her to reflect on herself. And Fourteenth Uncle probably still doesn't know that Aunt Tao Nian likes him, and he's still in the mood to help with the wedding arrangements."
Zhou Yixi continued to ask, "Is this why Grandma hates Aunt Tao Nian?"
"That's just one of the reasons. It's said that Aunt Tao Nian looks a lot like someone, and every time Grandma sees Aunt Tao Nian, she thinks of that person."
Although Tao Qin felt that the rumor was a bit outrageous, she still said it out loud. Maybe there really was such a person.
Lian Wu and Feng Ling looked at each other secretly and basically guessed who that person was.
Tao Yuwan and her grandmother don't get along, so it's normal for her to feel disgusted when she sees someone who looks very similar to her.
Feng Ling had an even more outrageous guess in his mind.
What if Tao Yuwan, like Tao Nian, fell in love with her brother? It's understandable that the grandmother would dislike her husband's sister as a love rival.
With similar faces and similar behaviors, it is possible that if the grandmother transferred her disgust to Tao Nian and arranged a ghost marriage for him in a fit of rage.
Because the idea was too outrageous, Feng Ling had no plans to tell anyone else about it for the time being.
After Tao Qin answered their questions, Lian Wu and the others received system notification sounds one after another.

"We're here. Auntie is inside. We can only talk to her through this window. Only Grandma has the key to that door, so we can't get in."
Tao Qin pointed at the wooden window and then opened it from the outside.
"Aunt, I'm here to see you."
The next second, a pair of bloodshot eyes came up.
Tao Qin was so frightened that she fell to the ground. The window lost its support and slammed shut again.
Feng Ling walked forward and reopened the window. His scarlet eyes were still at the window, watching them vigilantly.
"Who are you? The Li family? I'm telling you! I won't marry! I won't marry a dead person!"
Tao Nian roared like crazy, revealing his completely disheveled hair.
"Calm down. We are not from the Li family. We were called back to attend the wedding after leaving the earth building. We know you don't want to get married, so we want to help you escape."
Lian Wu looked at the other person quietly. His affinity was not as good as Xie Ning's. If Xie Ning were here, Tao Nian would probably be infected by that kind expression and calm down in less than half a minute.
However, when Lian Wu deliberately suppressed his expression that kept strangers away, he was still quite calm.
Tao Nian looked at them suspiciously for a while, then asked tentatively, "How do you want to save me?"
"Tomorrow they will definitely let you go to the earth building for the ceremony. Once we get to the surface, we will find a way to get you out. But there has been heavy snow and fog recently, so we may not be able to send you directly to the outside world, so you will probably have to hide for a while."
