The beam of light suddenly shot out from the Snow Beast King's mouth, like lightning streaking across the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar that tore through the air, and slammed violently into the barrier.
At that moment, it felt as if the players were being struck by a giant hammer; the enormous sound was like a stampede of ten thousand horses, deafening and shattering their spirits.
The sound waves reverberated in the air, forming visible ripples. Some people couldn't withstand the sudden impact; their faces turned deathly pale, their bodies swayed precariously, and they eventually collapsed helplessly to the ground.
They clutched their heads tightly with their hands, letting out piercing screams, as if their souls were being torn to pieces by the sound waves.
Xiao Jin stood calmly to the side, her brows furrowed. Although the deafening sound made her feel uncomfortable, it was just that—uncomfortable.
Her eyes quickly scanned her surroundings, and she soon discovered that, besides herself, Song Chao was also standing properly.
However, Gao Ya, Deng Xing, and others were in significantly better condition than the average player.
Although they also showed signs of pain, they did not lose their fighting ability like the others, and could even barely stand firm.
This discovery sparked a thought in Xiao Jin's mind: she guessed that it might be related to the strength of the players' mental power.
Under the continuous bombardment of the beams of light, the barrier began to shake violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.
At the same time, the compass floating in the air began to tremble rapidly, its pointer jumping wildly, and the light around it flickering.
Song Chao's expression became unusually solemn at this moment. He clenched his fists, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he was suffering from the aftereffects of his rapidly depleting mental energy.
Sure enough, the next second Song Chao suddenly shouted, "I can't hold on any longer, at most three minutes."
Upon hearing this, the players panicked.
The damn barrier can't hold them back anymore! What are they going to do? Are they going to run away? But what about the native inhabitants underground?!
They've already come this far; asking them to give up the reward that's within their grasp would be like stabbing them in the heart.
Xiao Jin didn't hesitate to put a lot of charcoal braziers into his space, then turned around and ran downstairs, teleporting to the door of the fourth floor in a few moments.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this moment, everyone inside the room sat huddled together, shivering.
As soon as the temperature dropped, Jian Yiqiu tried to gather people together as much as possible. Although the small cubicles were small, the temperature would be higher if a charcoal brazier was used.
Unfortunately, they didn't have enough charcoal braziers, so for everyone's sake, they had to squeeze in.
Their breath frosted their eyelashes, and some people even began to feel drowsy.
Jian Yiqiu was the same; he wanted to wake everyone up, but even he couldn't resist the overwhelming sleepiness.
Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
'Bang bang bang!'
'Bang bang bang!'
Jian Yiqiu opened his eyes with difficulty: Who? How annoying! Who's knocking on the door?
wrong!
Jian Yiqiu shook his head suddenly; he was just too cold, which was why he felt sleepy.
You absolutely mustn't sleep during times like these, because if you do, you won't be able to wake up!
Jian Yiqiu gritted his teeth, stood up, and jumped a few times, but his legs suddenly went weak.
"Jian Yiqiu, open the door!"
At that moment, Xiao Jin finally sensed something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes slightly, already having the idea of breaking down the door.
Fortunately, just then, the door was opened from the inside.
Upon seeing Jian Yiqiu's face, which was faintly pale, Xiao Jin was startled and quickly slipped inside to close the door.
She took out several hot water bottles from her spatial storage and stuffed them directly into Jian Yiqiu's clothes, making him wince in pain from the heat.
"No need, no need, I'm fine." Jian Yiqiu took out the hot water bottle and was about to hand it to Shao Jing and Cheng Ce when Xiao Jin stopped him.
“These are yours, they have some.” He then took out a few more.
Jian Yiqiu smiled and asked, "Why did you come down?"
Xiao Jin took out the charcoal brazier and placed it around the room, instantly making it much warmer. She glanced at Jian Yiqiu, who was still asking questions, and immediately realized that he hadn't sensed the unusual activity on the top floor at all.
"After I leave, seal the door shut and don't open it for anyone who calls."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiqiu's smile froze on his face.
His tone was urgent: "What happened? Has something happened?"
Xiao Jin glanced at him, then grabbed Jian Yiqiu by the collar and whispered in his ear, "I've given you the things. Be careful."
After saying that, Xiao Jin turned to leave, but Jian Yiqiu called her back.
"Xiao Jin!"
Jian Yiqiu stared at the other person's back with a complicated expression, clutching a box tightly in her hands.
"We'll meet again, won't we?"
Xiao Jin: "...Don't worry, I won't hit you next time we meet!"
Although he didn't quite understand, Jian Yiqiu only knew one thing: they would meet again!
After Xiao Jin left, Jian Yiqiu followed her instructions and sealed the door again. Finally, he squatted down to the side, holding the box.
With the charcoal braziers provided by Xiao Jin, the temperature inside the room was finally not so cold.
At this moment, Jian Yiqiu was in a daze. His left hand gently brushed his ear, while his other hand opened the box in his arms, inside which lay two familiar syringes.
………………
After leaving below, just as Xiao Jin stepped onto the ground, a gust of wind swept in.
A tremendous threat loomed over Xiao Jin like a dark cloud, suddenly enveloping her and setting off alarm bells in her mind.
Xiao Jin's pupils contracted sharply, and she subconsciously activated all the defensive items on her body that could be activated. With flashes of light, layer upon layer tightly enveloped her.
At the same time, her body shot out like an arrow, quickly dodging to the side.
'Snap!'
Like the sound of shattering glass, sharp and piercing, followed by a deafening boom that shook the earth.
The compass barrier was finally broken by this terrifying force, and the prepared players activated their respective life-saving items. Colorful lights intertwined in the air, forming temporary barriers.
The small warehouse was instantly reduced to ashes by this attack, and the entrance to the Black Tower collapsed completely at that moment.
A moment later, the light disappeared, and the players struggled to their feet from the snowdrift, covered in snow, their faces filled with fear and joy.
They survived! They survived!
The group looked around and saw that where the small warehouse had been, a large crater had been created, with many players' corpses scattered around the crater.
When Xiao Jin stood up, the Shattered Shadow had already appeared in his hand.
She didn't give the snow beasts a chance to make the first move, and charged directly at the Snow Beast King with her knife in hand, followed closely by several beams of light.
