Chapter 244 Kill the Giant Rat and Open the Treasure Chest
Ji Xinghan and Zhang Kuang locked eyes.
Zhang Kuang recognized Ji Xinghan, after all, the two had met when Ji Xinghan visited their district last time.
However, Zhang Kuang only recognized Ji Xinghan as the person from last time, and did not know that this person was Ji Xinghan. He just had a flash of inspiration and guessed it.
Ji Xinghan paused for a moment, and the longsword was already in his hand.
Zhang Kuang's expression changed, he threw down the torch, and turned to run.
Ji Xinghan chased after him closely, but after only a few meters, he saw a golden light ahead.
This is a fairly spacious secret room, probably several hundred square meters in size. It is circular, and the walls are inlaid with glowing beads that illuminate the entire space.
At the very back of the secret chamber is an arched stone platform, upon which sits a large, gleaming golden box.
It's very gorgeous.
Zhang Kuang was aiming for that.
Fearing that Ji Xinghan would get there first, he focused all his energy on rushing forward, even using the speed of the wind to quickly reach the stone platform.
But no sooner had his foot touched the stone platform than a "buzz" sounded, the platform lit up with a white light, and then a group of rats swarmed out from around the platform.
They were all the size of lambs, with bright green eyes, and they squeaked as they rushed toward the only two people in the secret room.
In an instant, Ji Xinghan and Zhang Kuang were surrounded by rats.
Ji Xinghan was startled and took a step back, retreating to the wall and leaning against it.
A dozen or so giant rats rushed over.
mouse?
Ji Xinghan's heart tightened. This was a viral catastrophe, and who knew how many viruses the rats carried? They had to be careful.
Fortunately, she was still wearing gas gloves and a gas mask. Not feeling safe, she put on a face mask as well. Then, she swung her longsword and cut a giant rat that was charging at her waist.
"Squeak!" Blood splattered, and a foul stench filled the air.
Ji Xinghan suddenly felt nauseous and even a little dizzy.
Oh no, it's poisonous!
Ji Xinghan immediately put away his longsword, grabbed a wooden stick, and used it to fiercely attack the charging giant rat.
Her wooden stick was specifically used to hit the giant rats on the head, with the aim of stunning them or killing them by hitting their heads, in any case, without drawing blood.
Or at least a little blood.
Ji Xinghan used Swift as the Wind and Immense Strength to greatly enhance his strength and speed, dodging and weaving as he fought against the giant rats.
On the other hand, the arrogance was similar.
He followed Ji Xinghan's example and leaned against the wall. He killed several giant rats at first, but when he realized something was wrong, he hurriedly drank several kinds of potions, almost one of each color.
The discomfort has finally subsided.
Later, he followed Ji Xinghan's example and took out a wooden stick to try to prevent the giant rat from bleeding.
The giant rats weren't too difficult to deal with, but they kept appearing one after another. It took the two of them more than half an hour to wipe them all out.
At this moment, Ji Xinghan was already feeling dizzy.
Zhang Kuang stumbled to his feet and rushed toward the stone platform.
He also contracted the virus.
Ji Xinghan panicked. This won't do.
She immediately rushed over as well.
She not only rushed over, but also snapped a picture of herself moving as swiftly as the wind.
Ji Xinghan, unsteady yet incredibly fast, overtook Zhang Kuang and slammed his hand onto the golden treasure chest.
Huh? Can't open it?
Why not?
Ji Xinghan was taken aback.
Suddenly, the golden treasure chest flashed with golden light, and Ji Xinghan felt an invisible force push her upwards. Her hand left the chest, and she involuntarily took two steps back.
Zhang Kuang staggered over, laughing wildly twice: "Ji Xinghan, I'm the one who found this place, and I opened the door. Do you think you have a share in this?"
He pressed down on the golden treasure chest, grinning maliciously: "Who told you you weren't on the red team? Hahaha!"
Ji Xinghan's expression darkened; Zhang Kuang hadn't been shaken off at all!
Was this treasure chest really meant for the red team? She's a member of the blue team, so she can't open it?
Zhang Kuang pressed down on the treasure chest, then gently lifted it...
Ji Xinghan squinted, lunged forward, and placed his hand back on the treasure chest...
Treasure chest open!
Ji Xinghan heard the notification sound:
[Open the treasure chest!]
You have obtained a private jade stone!
What is this?
Ji Xinghan was surprised. At this moment, Zhang Kuang jumped back and laughed loudly: "I got it! I got it! Haha, Ji Xinghan, you didn't expect this, did you? In the end, I still got it! Hahaha!"
Huh?
Ji Xinghan slowly withdrew her hand, giving up on taking out the communication jade. She wanted to wait and see.
So, did Zhang Kuang also gain something?
Moreover, Zhang Kuang was unaware that she had also obtained an item.
Ji Xinghan glanced at the treasure chest, which was now completely empty.
She was weak, took a few steps, and sat down under the stone platform.
She contracted the virus while fighting the giant rat, and now the virus is slowly taking effect, making her increasingly dizzy. She needs treatment.
[Using virus identification!]
You have contracted a mild case of plague virus, classified as a Category C red virus. Please seek treatment as soon as possible!
Ji Xinghan carried a bottle of healing potion with him and immediately took out a bottle of C-grade red potion and poured it into his mouth.
On the other side, Zhang Kuang lowered his head, happily tore open a scroll, glanced at it, and then the scroll disappeared.
He was busy and didn't see Ji Xinghan take her medicine.
The announcement played:
[Survival Gossip: Rumor has it that someone completed a mysterious hidden mission and gained the skill to identify viruses!]
Immediately, someone exclaimed in frustration, "The mission is complete? Who was it? Who was it?"
"Hey, I'm still clueless, how come someone has already completed the task?"
Zhang Kuang laughed loudly: "It's me, it's me, hahaha, I've learned how to identify viruses! Anyone who needs one can contact me. As for the price... hahaha, the highest bidder wins! After all, I only have two virus identification opportunities per day!"
He was incredibly arrogant and smug: "Tsk tsk, ever since you came to this district, I don't know how many times you've been praising Ji Xinghan. You didn't expect it, did you? This time, she's no match for you!"
After saying that, he glanced at Ji Xinghan.
People were talking about it, and Jin Baiwan quickly asked Ji Xinghan what was going on.
Ji Xinghan is almost fully recovered.
Zhang Kuang drank a bottle of medicine and asked smugly, "Ji Xinghan, do you need me to identify the virus for you? Plague, deadly!"
Ji Xinghan feigned weakness: "Really? Then come here and let me examine you."
Zhang Kuang had just finished drinking the potion and his body hadn't fully recovered. However, the joy of completing the mission made him forget his pain. He stood up, staggered over to Ji Xinghan, and said, "I can appraise it for you, but you have to hand over all the supplies you have!"
Ji Xinghan nodded: "Okay!"
She suddenly sprang up, swung her longsword, and thrust it towards Zhang Kuang's chest.
Zhang Kuang was shocked and hurriedly retreated. However, he was still a bit weak and missed by two steps. With a "thud", the long sword pierced his left chest.
Ji Xinghan smiled slightly: "This sword of mine just killed a rat!"
The longsword, carrying the rat virus, pierced Zhang Kuang's body.
Zhang Kuang let out a scream and shouted loudly in the gang, "Quick, pull me up!"
He was terrified. Just moments ago he had harbored thoughts of killing Ji Xinghan, but now, all he wanted was to escape.
Ji Xinghan drew his longsword, a flash of cold light, and slashed towards Zhang Kuang's neck.
