"Heh~"

The square-faced player rolled his eyes, now barely breathing.

The screams of the two echoed through the living room. Jian Yiqiu, who happened to arrive, paused in his movements and then saw Cheng Ce and Shao Jing lying outside the door.

His expression changed, and he quickly ran up.

After checking that the two were only unconscious, Jian Yiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but then he saw the horrifying wound on Shao Jing's face, and his gaze immediately turned cold.

At that time, Nie Xinxin and Gao Ya, who were still a little worried, also arrived.

After squatting down to examine them, Gao Ya took out two red pills and put them into the mouths of Cheng Ce and Shao Jing respectively.

She looked up at Jian Yiqiu and said, "Don't worry, she'll be fine soon."

"Thank you." Jian Yiqiu gritted his teeth.

Inside the house, it wasn't just the local residents who were stunned; when Nie Xinxin came in and saw what was inside, she also gasped in shock.

Wow, the big boss has lost his temper!

Having already spotted the newcomer, Xiao Jin wiped away the shards of light and put the knife back into his backpack.

"Everything's alright here, how's it up there?"

Nie Xinxin was stunned for a moment: "Very good, the Song Dynasty's barrier is fine, the Snow Beast King seems to be accumulating the next wave of energy."

We were worried about you, so Sister Gao and I came down to check. This is…” She pointed to the people on the ground.

Xiao Jin replied calmly, "They've taken everything. We need to take care of the injured first, and it would be best to make some accommodations for them."

Nie Xinxin also saw the corpse above, so when she frowned and looked at the leader and the square-faced player, it was as if she were looking at a pile of garbage.

"These bastards are all about stabbing people in the back." The indigenous people have begun to be wary of them.

Xiao Jin strode out, nodded to Gao Ya, and then said to Jian Yiqiu, "The person is yours to deal with, but I've crippled the one who did it."

Although it's a bit of a pity, rounding it up, it's fair to say that the little rascal avenged them.

"It's alright, thank you. Will killing them cause you any trouble?" Jian Yiqiu asked seriously.

Gao Ya, standing nearby, waved her hand and said, "It's just a few bad apples, nothing serious. This time it's our fault for not managing people properly, I hope you don't mind."

Jian Yiqiu: "You can't think of everything. Once a person has an idea, even if you watch them 24 hours a day, the other party will still find an opportunity."

"I'll keep the man, and that'll settle this matter!"

Xiao Jin glanced at the two people on the ground whose breathing was gradually calming down before leaving with peace of mind.

………………

After that, Jian Yiqiu stayed downstairs and took care of Cheng Ce and Shao Jing.

Although they had the red pills given by Gao Ya, the two were seriously injured and still needed to rest more.

As for the charcoal brazier that was stolen by the three leaders, Gao Ya and Jian Yiqiu subjected them to a severe interrogation, stripping the two still alive of everything from head to toe.

Not only the charcoal brazier, but even their props were taken out, leaving nothing in their system backpacks in the end.

After handing over the items, Jian Yiqiu gave them a quick and painless end.

However, the unfortunate player who was killed by Xiao Jin couldn't take out the 10 charcoal braziers from his backpack. Gao Ya and the others pooled their resources and managed to gather another 20, which they placed below.

Immediately, everyone evacuated from the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors to avoid the indigenous people living in fear if they remained there.

First came the Snow Beast King's attack, then players secretly invaded the lower levels to steal resources; Xiao Jin barely had a moment's peace that night.

Since the Snow Beast King launched its attack at 11 p.m., there has been no further movement outside.

The players did some research and determined that the next attack, which would be the final one, would be around 9 or 10 o'clock tomorrow, based on previous timings.

This time, the Song Dynasty's compass will definitely not be able to withstand the attack. Once the barrier is broken, the players will have to rely on themselves.

During this time, players should simply sleep or rest as needed, making the most of this last bit of time.

Xiao Jin sat on the ground and leaned against the wall, pretending to doze off.

The following events somehow got out, and the players were all surprised by Xiao Jin's ruthlessness, even toning down their attitudes a little.

In fact, many people, like the boss and the others, didn't understand why Xiao Jin reacted so strongly.

So what if a few NPCs died? There are still so many alive, enough to turn in the quest!

She almost turned him into a human pig. We're all from the same world, after all.

Xiao Jin didn't care at all what others thought.

It was her own idea to build the shelter. She first persuaded Jian Yiqiu to take in the survivors, and then gave the players directions.

Both morally and logically, she should intervene in this matter.

Don't tell her you're just a player; strictly speaking, you're not even a human from Earth.

In Xiao Jin's eyes, this bunch of clueless 'fellow villagers' who always dragged things down were not even as good as NPCs like Cheng Ce.

Besides, it's still uncertain whether they are actually NPCs.

He slept soundly until dawn.

It's a beautiful day outside.

The snow had long since stopped, and the long-awaited sunshine peeked out. The wind was gentle and dry.

After waking up, Xiao Jin checked the temperature and found that it had reached a terrifying -100 degrees Celsius outside.

The players were now surrounded by rows of charcoal braziers, and the walls of the house were barely free of ice.

Such temperatures undoubtedly present a challenge for everyone.

In this state, even Xiao Jin himself couldn't guarantee his survival in a battle against the snow beast. And with the added advantage of the cold, who knows just how powerful the snow beast would be?

Unfortunately, no matter what, everyone still has to face reality.

At 10 a.m., Xiao Jin handed over the last few spirit stones in her hand to Song Chao.

"If you can't hold on, don't push yourself." She said seriously, "Psionic items are rare, so don't cause unnecessary losses."

Song Chao naturally understood, and he accepted Xiao Jin's good intentions: "I understand. In fact, no matter how many spirit stones we have, the system will definitely not let us block this final blow."

Xiao Jin and the others were already aware of this unspoken rule.

Therefore, compared to other players who were still hoping for the best, Gao Ya and her friends had already started taking out items to prepare.

Good news: for a full hour, the snow beasts outside did not make a single move.

The bad news was that just as it turned 11 o'clock, the snow beasts suddenly went berserk, seemingly trying to reduce the energy consumption of the Snow Beast King, and began to desperately ram the barrier.

The level-three snow beast's eyeball slammed into the golden, transparent barrier with such force that even though it was covered in blood, it did not flinch.

Accompanied by a series of terrifying impacts, the Snow Beast King moved.

It slowly floated in the air, gathering a familiar black sphere of light. This time, the sphere of light blotted out the sky and was almost as thick as a dozen Snow Beast Kings.

The small warehouse that houses the Black Tower's gate appears incredibly tiny in comparison.

Song Chao's expression was solemn, and he absorbed all the spirit stones without hesitation.

Even if the compass barrier can't stop it, he will try his best to weaken the power of the light beam so that its effect is minimized when it reaches the player.
