Chapter 72 An Amazing Treasure
But to everyone's surprise, Ji Yi was just faking it; his act of sadness was merely a way to tease them.
Just as Luo Qing was about to reach out, Ji Yi suddenly plucked a few hairs and blew on them gently.
A shocking scene unfolded—the hair transformed into a group of monkeys, exactly as before. With ferocious faces and brandishing weapons, they charged towards Luo Qing and the others.
Luo Qing was stunned; she hadn't expected Ji Yi to have this trick up her sleeve.
But she quickly realized what was happening and swiftly commanded the Blue Spirit Bird and the Water Sprite Maiser to join the battle, while she herself nimbly darted through the forest, dodging the monkeys' attacks.
The battlefield was thrown into chaos once again.
Ji Yi kept plucking out new hairs, each one transforming into a ferocious monkey.
In the blink of an eye, the woods were filled with countless figures, waving sticks and screaming as they charged toward Luo Qing and the others.
Luo Qing's vision blurred, as if she were in the midst of a frenzied horde of monkeys.
She gripped her dagger tightly, searching for a breakthrough in the chaotic battle, but the presence of monkeys all around her made her feel immense pressure.
Ji Yi stood in the center of the monkey troop and laughed triumphantly.
His laughter echoed across the battlefield, mingling with the roars of monkeys and the clatter of clubs, creating a brutal symphony.
Luo Qing stared intently at Ji Yi, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
Luo Qing took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with determination. She quickly adjusted her strategy and nodded to Mu Qimeng.
Mu Qimeng immediately understood. He took out his bow and arrow, gently nocked an arrow, and aimed at Ji Yi in the distance.
With a flick of his finger on the bowstring, the arrow shot out like lightning, slicing through the air and heading straight for Jiyi.
At the same time, Luo Qing and several other teammates also began their operation. They tacitly dispersed, drawing away the monkeys' firepower.
In an instant, the battlefield was filled with the sounds of clubs being struck, roars, and arrows whistling through the air.
Luo Qing moved nimbly through the woods, skillfully dodging the monkeys' attacks.
Ji Yi's laughter suddenly stopped. He stared wide-eyed at the arrow that had been shot at him in disbelief.
The arrow pierced his chest with pinpoint accuracy, leaving a glaring trail of crimson blood. Ji Yi screamed in agony, his body swaying before he finally collapsed to the ground, barely alive.
As Ji Yi fell, the monkeys made of fur seemed to lose control and stopped attacking.
Their forms gradually blurred, eventually turning into individual strands of hair that gently drifted to the ground.
Silence returned to the woods, leaving only Jiyi's figure lying on the ground and the fur scattered all over the ground.
Luo Qing and the others stood beside Ji Yi's corpse, exhausted but with the joy of victory.
Sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on their resolute faces.
A faint smell of blood permeated the air, mingling with the fresh scent of leaves to create a peculiar atmosphere.
Luo Qing squatted down, took the treasure out of Ji Yi's arms and put it away, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She understood that this victory was hard-won and the result of the team's joint efforts.
Mu Qimeng walked to Luo Qing's side and handed her a clean cloth.
Luo Qing took the cloth and gently wiped the dagger in her hand; some bloodstains still remained on the blade.
With a flash of white light, Luo Qing and the others were instantly transported back to the rabbit spirit Ruobit's hut.
They sat on stools by the coffee table, surrounded by a familiar and warm atmosphere. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the teacups and pastries on the coffee table, making everything seem so peaceful and beautiful.
Luo Qing took the ancient treasure box from her bosom and gently placed it on the coffee table. Although the box had weathered the passage of time, it still shimmered with a mysterious light.
Ruobit's eyes lit up instantly. It carefully picked up the box, its eyes filled with excitement and emotion.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Robert's voice was slightly choked with emotion. "I have finally found my treasure."
As he spoke, Ruo Bit couldn't wait to open the mysterious box.
She gently stroked the lid of the box, as if she were touching a long-forgotten memory.
Her fingers slid lightly across the lock of the box, making a soft rubbing sound, as if telling an ancient secret.
Luo Qing and the others watched Ruo Bit's actions with tension, curiosity and anticipation swirling in their hearts.
They imagined what treasures might be hidden inside the box—perhaps a legendary artifact, a secret manual containing ancient magic, or a priceless gem.
Finally, Ruobit gently pushed open the lid of the box, and at that moment, the air seemed to freeze.
All eyes were focused on the small box, anticipating the revelation of the treasure's secret.
However, when the box was fully opened, revealing its contents, Luo Qing and the others were stunned.
Inside the box lay an ordinary carrot, unremarkable and even somewhat dull.
Seeing Luo Qing and the others' confusion, Ruo Bit stroked the carrot and explained softly, "This was left to me by my parents."
Its eyes shone with a gentle light, as if through this carrot, one could see the distant past.
Ruobit's voice was deep and full of emotion as it continued, "When I was a child, my parents often took me to play in the fields, and this carrot was planted by them. Whenever I see it, I think of their loving smiles and warm embraces."
As he spoke, Ruo Bi Te gently picked up the carrot and placed it in his palm, as if feeling the warmth from his parents.
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the carrots, giving them a golden sheen that made them appear even more precious.
[Ding—Congratulations to the first squad of Huaguo Mountain for helping Ruobite find the treasure, becoming the first squad to complete the mission.]
The reward will be distributed at 8 PM tonight.
After the system's voice faded, Luo Qing and the others felt their bodies lighten and were enveloped in a warm white light.
Just as Luo Qing and the others were about to disappear into the white light, Ruo Bit rushed over, carrying a large bunch of carrots, his eyes shining with determination.
"Wait, please accept these!" it said breathlessly, stuffing carrots into Luo Qing and the others' hands.
Luo Qing and the others were stunned. Looking at the heavy carrot in their hands, a warm feeling welled up in their hearts.
They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with gratitude and joy.
The white light gradually enveloped their bodies, and Rubit's figure gradually blurred in the white light.
"Thank you! See you next time!" Ralph's voice echoed in the white light.
They closed their eyes and felt the wonderful sensation of their bodies moving through space.
As the white light gradually faded, they found themselves back on solid ground, realizing they had returned to the familiar island.
Sunlight spilled onto the beach, giving it a golden sheen. The waves gently lapped against the shore, making a pleasant sound.
