Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 49

"I wonder what the miasma smells like?"
Klein couldn't help but mutter as he was in the miasma.
The grayish-white miasma obscured his vision. The visibility wasn't high, so he couldn't see the terrain of the entire catacombs clearly.
Klein slowly landed on the ground.
"Let's look for the bronze treasure chest first."
Klein walked forward first.
After walking for more than twenty meters, he came across a wall.
There were many plants on the ground that he had never seen before.
Klein squatted down to examine them.
There were three types of plants in total.
The first type had grayish-white grass leaves with spots on them.
The second type was like a withered arm with flowers that looked like withered bones.
The third type was red. The grass leaves hung dejectedly on the ground.
Klein didn't dare to touch it.
It could grow in the poisonous miasma, so it might be poisonous.
Klein put on his ordinary leather gloves.
The blueprint he had exchanged for the arm-length snake meat could be produced using animal skin.
[It's best not to touch it. It'll make your skin allergic.]
[Be careful! The surface is poisonous and will cause itching.]
[Don't let it touch your wound, or it'll fester.]
Notifications appeared on the three plants one by one.
In the interface, the details of the three plants appeared one by one.
They were all poisonous plants, only growing in poisonous gas and miasma. Each of them was a material used to make poison!
[System notification: Poison Spotted Grass+12]
[System notification: White Bone Flower+10]
[System notification: White Bone Flower Seed+2]
[System notification: Bloodstained Grass+9]
As usual, all the light was gathered.
Klein looked around again, but he didn't see any more plants.
Instead, he found a batch of materials on the ground.

He continued searching for the copper treasure chest.
After circling around for a long time, he finally saw the figure of the copper treasure chest in the corner.
The golden text indicated that there were traces of poison on the surface of the treasure chest!
'It seems like I'll still be contaminated by the poisonous miasma if I stay too long.'
Klein knew that he had to act quickly.
Otherwise, the exposed skin and hair of him and the little fox would most likely be contaminated.
The dose of the poison wouldn't be large, however, it might cause some itching.
Klein had a glove and opened it.
[System notification: Bronze Treasure Chest+1]
[System notification: Excellent Skeleton Potion Blueprint+1]
[System notification: Excellent Antidote Blueprint+1]
[System notification: Wind Rune+1]
Two potion crafting blueprints!
If nothing went wrong, the Skeleton Potion was definitely a poison, while the Antidote was naturally the opposite.
[Excellent Skeleton Potion Blueprint: For creatures without poison resistance, it's a must-have item for taking risks to kill.]
[Excellent Antidote Crafting Blueprint: It can dispel common symptoms of poisoning. Quick to take effect.]
Learn everything!
Klein took out his shovel, found the right spot, and headed to the wall on the left to begin digging.
As he dug, he looked at the synthesis formula of the two medicines.
[Excellent Skeleton Potion: Poison Spot Grass 12/3, White Bone Flower 10/2, Bloodstained Grass 9/2, Water 8200ml/100ml, Fire Source]
[Excellent Antidote: Cold Play Grass 33/6, Sweet Fruit 0/1, Rolling Grass 0/5, Fire Source]
There were enough ingredients for the Skeleton Potion.
The antidote only had Cold Play Grass available.
There was no need to worry about Sweet Fruits. There would be an endless supply in the future.
He hadn't seen Rolling Grass at the moment, so he wondered if there was anyone selling it in the trade channel.

In order to leave as soon as possible, Klein dug as fast as he could.
In less than half a minute, he had already seen the black membrane.
Klein first used soil to block the passage behind him to prevent more poisonous miasma from entering.
Before stepping into the black membrane, he needed to check the situation in the left catacomb.
Just because the map indicated that there was no danger didn't mean that there was no danger.
[Someone has already arrived in the catacombs on the left. However, the other party has encountered a troublesome Vampire Spider and has already been hung up, becoming the Vampire Spider's reserve food. By avoiding the Vampire Spider's sneak attack, tearing the spider apart with your hands, and displaying your manliness, you might even be able to win a woman's heart.]
Not only were there crypt creatures, but someone had already arrived before him.
Klein frowned slightly.
'It's a woman?'
'Should I wait for them to die before entering?'
Klein was worried that an accident might occur, so he hesitated for a moment before deciding to enter now.
Before entering, he first checked the information on the Vampire Spider.
He opened the illustrated book.
He searched.
The result appeared.
[The Vampire Spider is a crypt creature that likes to drink fresh blood. It has a bat-like face and likes to ambush. It often hides in an unnoticeable place to ambush the enemy. The surface of its body is like armor.]
[Ability: Blood Burning Regeneration]
[Weakness: Sensitive eyes can not withstand strong light.]
[Danger Factor: 28]
He checked the details of his ability.
[Burning Blood Regeneration: Consumes the blood in the body and rapidly recovers the wound. Cooldown time: 60 minutes.]
Klein silently took out the runic lamp and adjusted it to focus mode.
If he couldn't beat it later, he would use the runic lamp to assist him.
If he could beat it, he naturally didn't need it.
This was called being prepared. It was better to be careful!
"Little Fox, let's go," Klein said and took the lead to step into the black membrane.
The scene in front of him changed.
The thirty-fifth catacomb!
Klein held the runic crossbow in his left hand and the runic blade in his right.
He vigilantly observed his surroundings.
There were many earth pillars in the catacomb.
Klein didn't see the Vampire Spider.
It was probably hiding.
Not far away, beside the earth pillars, there were two cocoons hanging.
They peeked out their eyes and made muffled noises. It was unknown whether they were calling for help or warning Klein to be careful.

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.

Storm of the Elementals
The apocalypse was something that people were expecting to happen sooner or later, rising sea levels and everything. What our protagonist didn't expect was it to be from a system, let alone the fact that he missed it. Waking up as an elemental and being given frighteningly little info from a system that seemed a little off , stuck with 3 other eccentric individuals that he could almost swear are a bit dodgy, and not being quite sure he was human anymore, it was the start of a long day. It only got longer when he found out he was moved to a whole different world. ~ This is a slow burn story, focusing on the world and what happens if an eccentric historian gets transported in a world with systems and power that are not quite meant for him. ~ Some things you can expect: -No harem, god no. -Yes the protagonist is strong, no he isn't completely OP. -Other people who have been changed, he isn't the only special or chosen one who got transported or messed with. -It is sad to actually have to put this here, but the main character does shockingly have common sense.
