18 Iceberg Snowfield-Day 5

◎Angering the Mountain Monster◎

The cave was eerily quiet. Yan Lan stared motionlessly at the place where the sound came from.

Snowball, who was playing in the water, also stopped moving and stretched his neck like a sculpture.

It was a shady spot, with a tall rock blocking the view, making it difficult to detect someone there. Furthermore, she had subconsciously assumed that only one player could enter a dungeon, never considering the possibility of other players entering the same dungeon.

It was all her fault for being too excited and forgetting to be vigilant. Thinking of the person hiding behind her, her heart sank suddenly and she stared at that piece of paper dangerously.

Seeing that Shitou still didn't move, she raised her eyebrows and signaled Snowball beside her.

Snowball cooperated very well and flew towards the big rock lightly after receiving the instructions.

It is a little elf that walks like flying, and people hiding behind it can hardly hear its sound.

Yan Lan also stared at it, quietly took out the Frost Moon Bow from the backpack, set up an arrow with added attributes, and pulled the bowstring to its full extent.

As soon as the opponent appears, she will use skill 1 to stun him and freeze him in place. If he dares to resist, she will use skill 2 to shoot him on the spot.

The arrow is on the string, ready to be fired at any moment.

Yan Lan held her breath and waited for Snowball to come over and drive the thief out.

The snowball was getting closer and closer, and Yan Lan's heart was beating faster and faster. She was not sure whether the other party was a human or a ghost, and she could only half hide in the water.

The snowball flew behind a big rock. Yan Lan saw its round body stop for a few seconds, then it turned around in a daze and waved its hands.

Yan Lan frowned and mouthed, "Really? Look again?"

Snowball obediently turned his head to look, then waved his paws again.

Yan Lan's doubts remained, but she believed in Xueqiu.

She stood up from the cold spring, causing the water to splash down. Her body, purified by the spring water, was white and delicate, like a ray of light in the darkness, particularly eye-catching.

Without taking the time to appreciate her beautiful skin, Yan Lan quickly took out a towel from the compartment of her backpack, wiped the water droplets off her body, picked up the clothes on the shore and quickly put them on.

Without even tying his shoelaces, he rushed to the big rock in two steps. There was nothing behind the rock, not even a footprint.

"Is this really my illusion?" Yan Lan muttered.

"Chirp~" Snowball nodded continuously, you just think too much.

"All right then."

The doubts in her mind were dispelled. She was already dressed and it was impossible for her to go to the hot spring again. Moreover, her personal attributes had almost reached a stable state. Yan Lan picked up the small hoe and prepared to collect crystals.

There was a tinkling sound in the cave, and at the same time a tall and handsome man rushed out of the cave.

His long eyelashes trembled slightly and his ears were pink.

“Ding ding ding.”

“Ding ding ding.”

Ji Zhou's shoulders shook, and he was almost scared by the sudden system prompt sound.

He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then opened the system panel uncomfortably. It was a letter from his cousin whom he had just contacted.

"Cousin, what were you doing just now? Why didn't you reply?"

Ji Zhou's cold face showed a ripple: "Nothing."

Cousin: "Didn't they say they found a cave full of crystals? Take a picture and show it to me!"

Ji Zhou was a little embarrassed and had to lie: "Ah? If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have already come out."

Cousin: "What? It came out so soon! How can it be so fast at such a critical moment! Did you dig up those crystals? They are priceless, maybe there are hidden items in the game!"

Ji Zhou: "I haven't dug yet. I left first because I had something urgent to do."

Cousin: "Gone? You're leaving without even digging anything! What urgent matter could be more important than supplies? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Oh my god, you're pissing me off!"

You could sense his collapse through the screen.

Ji Zhou frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. There was an emergency at that time."

He was the first to enter the cave. He was mining peacefully when a strange woman and a magical elf suddenly broke in. This strange pairing made him feel strange. He thought they were NPCs in the dungeon, so he hid and observed the situation.

Unexpectedly, the woman was dragged to take a bath without saying a word. He was stunned on the spot and hurriedly looked away, trying to find a chance to leave. Unexpectedly, he accidentally made a noise when he went out.

"I really want to dig your brain out and see it!"

My cousin looked very disappointed in me, and his mouth never stopped chattering since he added me as a friend.

Ji Zhou glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, closed the chat panel and strode forward.

Inside the cave.

Yan Lan felt relieved when she saw that no one was around after Shitou, and happily hummed her favorite song "Little Donkey".

Snowball listened to the song so many times that he began to sway along with it. He had eaten a lot recently and seemed to have become rounder. When he swayed, his body bounced from side to side, which was very cute.

Yan Lan shook her head and smiled, then picked up the small iron hoe to dig the crystal.

[Ding, obtained a primary crystal x1, balance +10.]

Hey, this turns out to be the game currency!

With currency, you can purchase expensive items in the system mall.

To speed things up, Snowball was also given a shovel.

In this way, the man and the elf chiseled the crystal like gold miners without stopping.

[Ding, obtained a primary crystal x1, balance +10.]

[Ding, obtained an intermediate crystal x1, balance +50.]

[Ding, obtained 1 high-level crystal, balance +100.]

Every time you chisel a crystal, the game will announce it, which sounds very fulfilling.

The more Yan Lan listened, the more motivated she became. She moved her hands faster, waving the small silver hoe in the air so fast that only a silver shadow could be seen.

She sighed in her heart: "Lengquan's enhanced physical fitness is really strong."

After working hard for an hour, Yan Lan finally felt a little tired. She put down her hoe and sat casually on the ground, calling out, "Snowball, would you like some water?"

“Chirp~”

Snowball flew down from mid-air and landed on a flat crystal stone.

I have to say that this little elf is quite good at choosing a location. The crystal stone is very smooth, as if it had been artificially carved.

etc!

Yan Lan narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the crystal stone gloomily. It seemed that she had never chiseled crystal stones in that area.

Snowball felt her gaze, and his round body shook violently. He jumped up and landed on her shoulder.

Yan Lan picked up the small hoe and gestured at the crystal stone. The flatness was indeed caused by a shovel of the iron hoe, but it was not her hoe.

Her small hoe was only 10 centimeters long, but this crystal was 20 centimeters, exactly twice as big as hers.

Yan Lan felt a surge of inexplicable panic. Someone had been here from the beginning, most likely a man. Although the cave was large, there were few obstructions. How had he managed to escape without them?

She folded her arms and looked around, always feeling a hint of shade behind her.

It was also possible that she was worrying too much. Maybe this crystal stone looked like this, or maybe the person who came left before they appeared.

"Chirp~Chirp~"

Snowball's scream interrupted her thoughts. This was the first time Yan Lan had seen Snowball so anxious. His feathers stood tall, like a cockerel ready to pounce.

At the same time, Yan Lan shuddered inexplicably. Her chest moved, and she turned around and shouted, "Run."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wall in front of him covered with crystals began to collapse, and the stones fell to the ground with a clatter.

Yan Lan didn't bother to look back to see what kind of monster was behind her, she just ran forward desperately.

Her current strength and speed have increased to 90, and at the moment the unknown monster jumped out of the stone, she had already created some distance.

Snowball screamed in panic. He seemed very scared and simply stopped flying and huddled on Yan Lan's shoulder.

“Ouch~”

A roar was heard, causing the ground to tremble. At the same time, rocks broke apart and exploded in all directions. Yan Lan, who had run for a distance, was almost injured by the rubble.

She glanced back quickly, her eyes widening with anger.

[Ding, triggering the mountain monster boss, health value: 1000.]

The mountain monster opened its bloody mouth, its sharp teeth gleaming coldly, and its huge red eyes stared straight at her.

What frightened her the most was the eye-catching blood bar. It was so long, almost as long as 10 of her lives!

Yan Lan's heart skipped a beat and she quickened her pace, almost disappearing into a shadow.

The mountain monster was sleeping, and someone kept knocking on its house, disturbing its sweet dreams. It was so angry that it got struck by lightning. It could not bear it any longer and had to get up angrily.

It was so huge that every time it moved, the rocks on the top of the mountain fell down with a clang. Yan Lan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, dodging it while running.

“Chirp~”

Then her shoulders felt empty, Yan Lan turned around suddenly, and the snowball was brought to the ground by the stones falling from above her head.

It raised its short fleshy paws to support the stone that was several times larger than its body. It seemed that it was injured by the friction of the stone, and one of its legs bent downward.

The mountain monster was in a frenzy, moving very quickly, and its huge body was close at hand.

“Chirp~”

Snowball looked at her worriedly and anxiously told her to go away.

Yan Lan calmed down, picked up the Frost Moon Bow from the backpack, pulled the bow with all her strength, and shot out an arrow with an icy aura.

[Skill 1: Stun.]

The snow monster shot by the arrow suddenly froze, and its huge body froze in place.

The dizziness lasted only 5 seconds. Yan Lan quickly returned, pushed the big rock on Snowball's head away, and brought it to her shoulder.

"Get ready, it's time to run for your life!"

Snowball grabbed Yan Lan's collar with his claws and was dragged forward.

After the 5-second stun, the mountain monster continued to roar and move forward, this time its breath was even more violent.

Reaching the narrow road ahead, Yan Lan had to slow down.

The mountain monster took advantage of the opportunity to catch up. Its body was fat and it couldn't squeeze out of the hole, so it stretched out its paw-like hands to grab.

Its palms were long, broad and powerful, and the stones on its head were hit and fell down with a "swish swish swish" sound.

Amidst the dust, Yan Lan gasped for breath, not caring about her bruised arm as she kept walking forward.

Unable to hit Yan Lan, the mountain monster became more and more angry. With an ear-shattering roar, it slammed down with its mountain-like palm.

Seeing that it was about to hit her head, Yan Lan used skill 1: Stun again.

The mountain monster paused, maintaining the clapping gesture. Yan Lan then used two skills to penetrate it, and it managed to withstand the two attacks.

[Health -200.]

[Health -200.]

There were only 600 left, and there was no time to lose, so Yan Lan ran out quickly.

As soon as I got out of the cave, the cave collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

The entrance of the cave was blocked by a huge rock, and the mountain monster let out a cry and gradually left.

Yan Lan stood at the entrance of the cave. Thinking of the gorgeous crystals and magical cold springs in the cave, she couldn't help but sigh, then dragged her injured body away.

Ji Zhou, who had just left, heard the sound and looked back. Smoke and dust were billowing out of the originally tall cave.
