I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 670, Section 2.5, Chapter 12: The House of Silk and the Dollhouse
The white boots splashed water as they stepped onto the puddles on the wooden floor.
Fei glanced down at Ling Tong's boots, then looked back at the damp floor behind him. From here, they officially entered the waterlogged area of the floor, which was the most slippery part.
The sound of the torrential rain was getting closer and closer.
"This is still indoors. Even in heavy rain, it shouldn't get wet this quickly, unless it's due to the dungeon's mechanics..." Mu Yegui quietly observed the ground, took a step forward, and then involuntarily slid down in a split.
Fei and Ling Tong reached out at the same time, each grabbing one of her arms and pulling her up.
Her exquisite and beautiful face was like the most perfect doll on a collector's shelf. Her cuteness was accompanied by an indescribable aloofness that kept others away from her, making people want to pull her off the platform.
His expression remained calm as always. Even when he slipped and was forced to do the splits after taking just one step, which led to him being rescued, he showed no surprise or shock. All he felt was calmness.
She blinked her cool, silver eyes, looked at Ling Tong on her left and then at Fei on her right, before looking down at her bare, rounded feet, whiter than jade, and suddenly had the illusion that wearing shoes could prevent slipping.
Mu Yegui was supported by Fei and Ling Tong, one on each side, with his feet off the ground. His expression seemed as expressionless as ever, but there was a hint of emptiness in his eyes, as if he had not yet realized what had just happened.
"I can walk by myself." Her soft, sweet voice was like freshly whipped cream, as soft and sweet as a cloud. She tilted her head and glanced at Ling Tong, speaking softly.
“This mechanism is specifically designed for you.” Ling Tong looked down and stared intently at Mu Yegui’s delicate and beautiful face as she spoke slowly.
Then, as if he had heard something, he looked at Mu Yegui again with a complicated expression and said, "I just asked Fei Lu using my privilege. The probability of slipping is 100% when walking barefoot, and only 50% when wearing shoes. In other words, you are too strong. In order to ensure the fairness of the dungeon, your mobility has been temporarily reduced."
"Whose idea was this?" Mu Yegui asked after a few seconds of silence.
Ling Tong nodded to Mu Yegui, then went to ask Fei Lu. After receiving a certain answer, his gaze towards Mu Yegui became even stranger.
"Greedy Lord".
Mu Yegui didn't say anything more, but from the terrifying aura she exuded, one could tell the answer: 'Shu Ming, you're finished.'
Fei warned, "The stairs are just ahead." In other words, the Spider Queen is lurking on the stairs, and you'll be attacked the moment you step out the door, so you should prepare now.
Mu Yegui glanced at Fei, and before he could react, he grabbed Fei's arm and, using Ling Tong's instep as leverage, climbed onto Fei's back.
"Walk."
Fei was stunned, looking blankly at Mu Yegui who had climbed onto his back. Although he subconsciously bent over when she moved, he really didn't expect to be carried by her. He thought Mu Yegui would go to Ling Tong.
He stood there, hands frozen, hesitating whether or not to put his hands on it.
Ling Tong touched the sword in her left hand and said thoughtfully, "It's fine if you carry it. I'll hold off the Spider Mother, and you guys run upstairs quickly. Be careful not to slip."
After saying that, Ling Tong took his sword and ran forward, with Fei carrying Mu Yegui on his back and following behind him.
Mu Yegui lay on Fei's back, quietly observing her surroundings. The spiders in the corner had all disappeared; were they hiding from something?
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky above the dollhouse, its force seemingly capable of splitting the heavens in two, illuminating the dim sky as bright as day before slowly returning to darkness. Immediately following was a deafening roar of thunder, drowning out the torrential rain; only its sound remained in the world, just as it drowned out Mu Yegui's voice.
"What did you say?" Ling Tong held a white-bladed sword dripping blood in one hand and the scabbard in the other, slowly turning her head to look at Mu Yegui. At her feet were more than a dozen spider corpses that had been cleaved in two.
Mu Yegui looked up at Ling Tong, her cold silver eyes as calm and indifferent as ever. She slowly said, "...It's a trap."
The spacious hall outside, where the spider mother lived, was now filled with white egg sacs of all sizes, covering all the floors. The spider egg sacs trembled as if they were about to hatch and break out of their sacs.
The spider queen hovered on the huge cylinder, looking down at the first floor, maintaining an attack posture, ready to kill any creature that appeared in the first second.
"The feast is about to begin."
As Mu Yegui finished speaking, the shaking of the spider egg sac intensified, and Ling Tong resolutely walked out of the door and entered the spider mother's guard zone.
Fei carried Mu Yegui on his back and followed. Then, the moment he stepped out the door, he quickened his pace and rushed towards the second floor. The spider egg sac behind him kept shrinking and was replaced by hundreds of small white spiders, which was almost enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Mu Yegui reached out and straightened Fei's head, then whispered in his ear, "Don't look back, keep running, watch your step, leave the rest to me."
Her cool, silver eyes instantly transformed into vertical pupils, emanating a chilling aura of danger. The small white spider following closely behind her trembled slightly, as if afraid of something.
She glanced back at the tiny, fragile white spiders, then casually caught a drop of water and flicked it behind her.
The deafening roar of thunder drowned out the tremendous sound of the stairs being destroyed, leaving only a deep crater and ruins like a black hole.
Just then, a white light flashed, and the spider mother's silk threads came straight at her. Mu Yegui slightly raised her hand and grabbed it.
"Fei, bend down and let go." Mu Yegui gave Fei a brief command with her pink lips slightly parted.
She grabbed the spider mother's silk thread and casually slapped it against the railing, then stepped onto Fei's back and jumped onto the thin but extremely tough spider silk.
Bare, rounded feet tread on white spider silk, seemingly walking a tightrope, yet moving as if on flat ground.
“Although it’s a problem with the dungeon mechanics, there are always loopholes to exploit. This mechanic only applies to me walking barefoot on the damp, open floor, so as long as I’m not standing on the floor, I won’t slip.” Mu Yegui looked down at the Spider Mother and ran towards it along the silk threads.
Ling Tong glanced at Mu Yegui, then without hesitation sheathed her sword and turned to walk towards the other staircase, not feeling that there was anything wrong with handing the Spider Mother over to Mu Yegui.
Mu Yegui rushed to the Spider Mother. The moment she was attacked, she jumped up. As she landed, she braced herself against the Spider Mother's abdomen with one hand and then used her strength to somersault onto the other side of the spider silk. She then ran back to the second floor along the spider silk.
then……
The moment she landed, she slipped and landed on her bottom, slumping to the ground.
She stared blankly at Ling Tong and Fei who had run up to her, her vertical pupils instantly turning back into round ones, her eyes filled with a vacant look, as if she hadn't yet realized what had happened.
"Pfft, hahahahahaha!!!"
