Chapter 184 The Ice and Snow Service Area is About to Open
The rock that had been shaking suddenly trembled violently, turned its head, and faced Zhu Xiong.
Zhu Xiong was shocked: "Ah!"
He quickly shielded Ji Wenqiao, and the two of them took several steps back.
The stone creaked and groaned violently, and after only a dozen seconds, it exploded with a loud bang.
"Squeak!" A monkey jumped out from inside.
The rock was about three meters high, and the monkey was about two and a half meters tall. It had a fierce look on its face, let out a loud shout, and looked around.
Zhu Xiong was startled and couldn't help but throw the stone he was holding, which hit the monkey with a "thud".
"Squeak!" The monkey got angry and charged forward, its two long arms reaching out to grab Zhu Xiong.
Zhu Xiong quickly took out the giant hammer.
He cried out in regret, "Boss, have we been tricked?"
Ji Wenqiao, her face dark, glared at the ferocious monkey and shouted, "Enough talk, kill!"
She lashed out with her long whip, striking the enormous monkey fiercely.
With a "crack," the whip struck the monkey's arm.
"Squeak!" the monkey cried out, then turned and charged at Ji Wenqiao.
Ji Xinghan, Qin Shuang, Jiang Lingyue, Han Xiaotian, and the others quickly lay down, covering themselves with the dry, sprawling weeds. The group lay in the deep snow, peeking out half their heads to watch from afar.
Han Xiaotian exclaimed with relief, "Oh my god, what a big monkey! What a fierce monkey! Luckily we ran fast!"
Ji Xinghan pondered for a moment, looked at the still motionless group of stones, and asked in a low voice, "Did anyone touch that stone just now?"
Han Xiaotian was taken aback, and said weakly, "I...I thought the stone was strange, so I touched it a couple of times..."
Jiang Lingyue slapped her in exasperation: "Why are you so handsy? Touching everything!"
Han Xiaotian objected: "Didn't Boss Ji Xinghan touch it too?"
yes!
Several people looked at Ji Xinghan. Ji Xinghan had also touched it and even removed a lot of the snow from the stone. How come the monkey couldn't jump out of the stone?
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment: "Maybe the stone I touched was too short?"
That rock is less than a meter high; even if a monkey jumps out, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
Perhaps there are no monkeys among the low rocks?
Ji Xinghan stared intently at Ji Wenqiao and Zhu Xiong as they fought, then glanced at the giant monkey and pondered for a moment: "I don't think that monkey's target is Ji Wenqiao!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Han Xiaotian.
Just now, if Zhu Xiong and Ji Wenqiao hadn't attacked first, the monkey might not have retaliated. It came out angrily as if it was looking for someone.
Han Xiaotian's face turned pale, and she immediately buried her head in the snow.
On the other side, Zhu Xiong and Ji Wenqiao were fighting a very difficult battle.
The monkeys were fierce, large, and thick-skinned. After killing them for a long time, they were exhausted, but the monkeys had almost no wounds.
When Ji Wenqiao lashed out with her whip, it was like tickling a monkey.
The two gradually lost their balance and stumbled back several steps.
Zhu Xiong was having second thoughts: "Boss, why don't we leave first? Let's call more people?"
Ji Wenqiao's face darkened, and with a "slap," she used a card of immense power, saying, "Kill! This is the coordinate where Jinluo appeared. Perhaps killing it will make Jinluo appear."
She didn't want to call anyone.
Now, she doesn't trust anyone except Zhu Xiong.
If we call someone over, what if our whereabouts are revealed and Ji Xinghan is brought here?
How uneconomical!
Using the card that granted her immense strength, Ji Wenqiao's power surged. She lashed out with her whip, and with a "crack," a bloody welt appeared on the monkey's back.
"Squeak, roar!" The monkey was enraged, let out a loud cry, and swung its long arms as it charged toward Ji Wenqiao.
Ji Wenqiao dodged and struck the monkey again. After several repetitions, several bloody welts appeared on the monkey's arms, legs, back, and even stomach.
Its belly was less protected, and it was even bruised and battered.
The monkey was furious, howling and suddenly its agility increased dramatically as it chased after Ji Wenqiao.
With a "smack," its arm struck Ji Wenqiao's shoulder. Ji Wenqiao screamed as blood streamed down her shoulder, and one of her arms drooped down.
It happens to be the right arm that holds the whip.
As soon as she lowered her whip, the monkey charged forward again.
Zhu Xiong was shocked and quickly stepped in front of Ji Wenqiao to block her.
With a "bang," he was kicked over by the monkey.
Ji Wenqiao's face turned pale, and she shouted, "Let's go!"
Both of them are injured, what's the point of fighting? If this continues, they won't be able to leave even if they want to.
Ji Wenqiao used a card as swift as the wind, grabbed Zhu Xiong, and ran away.
The two ran very fast, and the monkey chased them for more than ten meters before they disappeared.
Han Xiaotian cautiously peeked out and watched the entire battle. She was terrified: "Oh my god, what a fierce monkey! Oh, I saw its face! It looks so fierce and ugly... Wait, is it looking at me?"
The monkey turned its head and glanced at her, then suddenly charged straight at Han Xiaotian.
Ji Xinghan jumped up, followed closely by Qin Shuang and Jiang Lingyue. Qin Shuang also helped Han Xiaotian up.
"Squeak!" The monkey had already rushed up to her, and with a swipe of its paw, it slapped hard at Han Xiaotian.
Ji Xinghan used her exquisite umbrella to block the monkey's claws with a "snap." Then, she turned a button, and with a "whoosh," the umbrella closed, transforming into a spear tip that pierced the monkey's abdomen.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" The monkey cried out in pain and reached out its claws to grab Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan raised his foot and kicked him hard in the stomach.
Unlike Ji Wenqiao, Ji Xinghan was wearing a full set of clothes, which greatly increased her strength, physique, and agility. She was very strong, and with one kick, she sent the monkey flying two meters away.
Before the monkey could react, she stepped forward, flicked her spear, and with a "thud," the spear tip plunged deep into the monkey's heart.
The monkey had just fought with Ji Wenqiao and Zhu Xiong for half a day and was already exhausted and covered in wounds. How could it withstand such a heavy blow?
He cried out and quickly breathed his last.
Ji Xinghan quickly ended the battle here, before Qin Shuang and Jiang Lingyue even had a chance to make a move.
A notification sound plays:
[Slay the Black-faced Giant Monkey x1!]
[Receive 10 Gold Coins!]
[Congratulations on defeating the key monster! The Ice and Snow Service Area will be open soon!]
Ji Xinghan was taken aback.
Is the service area about to open?
Announcement for the whole region:
[Dear players, the Ice and Snow server will open in three days!]
[It's freezing cold, and adventurers urgently need to replenish their supplies. Congratulations! The Ice and Snow Service Area is ready and will open in three days. Please prepare your gold coins and head there on time!]
[Note: Defeating certain monsters will earn you gold coins!]
The ice and snow service area offers a variety of cold-weather supplies, such as down jackets, cotton-padded coats and trousers, boots, blankets, air conditioner upgraders, special ice and snow tires, and much more.
The temperature will continue to drop over the next three days, so please take precautions against the cold, pay attention to your health, and collect as many coins as possible.
[The Ice and Snow Service Area looks forward to your visit!]
Have fun playing the game!
After the announcement, the chat channel erupted in excitement:
"Is the service area finally going to open? Oh my god, we're saved!"
"The temperature is going to drop for the next three days? This is killing me!"
"Exactly! My air conditioner is no longer working. I'm shivering with cold as I hug the blanket. If it gets any colder, I'm going to die!"
"Alright, alright, cheer up. The service area will open in three days. Once we buy winter supplies, we'll be able to survive."
"Let's set off and earn some gold coins!"
"But what kind of strange beasts do you kill to get gold coins? I've been exploring outside, killing rabbits and foxes, but why haven't I gotten a single gold coin?"
Han Xiaotian stared at the chat channel and muttered, "Gold coins?"
gold?
Ji Xinghan took out the ten gold coins he had just received from his backpack. The gold coins were golden in color and about the size of coins, with two words in the center: "Ice and Snow".
So, this is it?
