Chapter 359 Ice Cave, Someone Was Blown Up
Players in the chat channel occasionally talk about players trapped in the ice cave. It's said that these players are isolated, and no one can pull them out; they can only rely on their own efforts.
All players trapped in the ice cave have only one option—to quit.
Ji Xinghan certainly didn't want to back down. Her main purpose in coming to Endless Frost was to find her sister. She hadn't even seen her sister yet, so how could she leave?
Ji Xinghan took out a pickaxe and ruthlessly dug a way out herself!
She picked up her pickaxe, found a random ice wall, and smashed it down hard.
With a "crack," a large chunk of ice fell down.
[Obtained 1 ice block. Add to inventory?]
"yes!"
She found an extra block of ice in her storage backpack. She continued digging for ice, and after about three minutes, she dug out dozens of blocks of ice, which she put into her storage backpack.
A small passage was also carved out of the ice wall. It was very low, only about 1.5 meters high, and Ji Xinghan could squeeze in by crouching down.
Ignoring everything else, Ji Xinghan started digging in one direction.
The pickaxe in her hand was of a high grade, and she could dig quickly. Even so, after more than ten minutes, she had only dug seven or eight meters.
Ji Xinghan felt a little dizzy.
Oxygen is becoming increasingly scarce, and swinging the pickaxe consumes significantly more oxygen.
No, this method of digging is too inefficient!
Ji Xinghan frowned, opened her storage backpack, and searched through it one by one. Then, she saw an item—a bomb!
[Bomb: When thrown, it can blast open a large area, shattering rocks and trees; its power is immense!]
Actually, this was a bomb she had obtained by blackmailing Ren Jie before. She couldn't bear to use it and had been keeping it.
Now, it's just the right time to use it!
She stepped back into the ice cave, detonated the bomb, and threw it directly into the tunnel she had just dug.
In this way, she would avoid getting hurt.
After throwing the bomb, she quickly crouched down, opened her delicate umbrella to cover herself, and covered her ears.
A loud "boom" resounded.
Amidst the loud noise, there seemed to be a piercing scream.
The ice walls trembled, and a white expanse surged out of the passage.
Large and small ice shards burst out of the passage, shooting into the ice wall like sharp blades.
The delicate umbrella made a crackling sound for a while, and after a few minutes, the ice cave returned to calm.
The once smooth ice wall is now riddled with holes.
Ji Xinghan looked into the passage and saw only a patch of white ice shards.
Huh? There seems to be an exit?
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed. He quickly cleaned away the ice shards, hung the luminous pearl around his neck, and went inside.
She had only gone halfway when she heard a terrible groan: "Ouch...ouch, it hurts...waaaah, I don't want to be here anymore, I want to go home, waaaah..."
It's one person!
The voice sounded a bit young and trembled; it was a man!
Ji Xinghan was surprised, but continued clearing away the ice shards and walking forward. After walking for a good seven or eight meters, she saw another ice cave.
This ice cave is about the same size as hers, and its walls are also covered with ice chips, making them pitted and uneven.
A person was huddled inside the ice cave, hugging their legs and groaning incessantly.
It's quite huge!
The man was so focused on crying that he didn't even notice Ji Xinghan slowly emerging from the water.
A luminous pearl was rolling inside the ice cave, which is why Ji Xinghan could see the person's appearance clearly.
He was young, only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but huge, looking at least two meters tall. He was slightly overweight and had a full beard.
He covered his face with his hands, revealing a black tattoo on his exposed wrist.
If it weren't for the fact that he was in tears, Ji Xinghan would have thought he had encountered a gang leader.
At this moment, the eldest brother seemed to hear something, wiped away his tears, and said softly, "Alright, I'm fine. The oxygen is almost gone. If necessary, I'll back out. You guys should enjoy the adventure."
Then, he sighed, turned his head, and saw Ji Xinghan.
The older brother was terrified, his pupils dilated, and he stammered, "You...you...who are you? An NPC? Ah, no!"
His eyes suddenly lit up, and his face lit up with joy: "You're Ji Xinghan! I've seen your screenshots, ah..."
His expression suddenly darkened. He touched his forehead and muttered, "Am I lacking oxygen? What you think about during the day, you dream about at night. It must be those guys making me cling to their coattails every day that's causing me to hallucinate!"
The leader rubbed his eyes, stared intently at Ji Xinghan, then touched his own bloodied body, pinched it hard, and let out a howl.
"You are Ji Xinghan!" He finally confirmed it!
Ji Xinghan was also a little disappointed, not expecting to encounter another player.
She thought that meeting the NPC meant things would turn around!
She glanced at the ice cave and her heart sank. This time, blasting open the ice cave had only led her from one ice cave to another.
Useless!
She sized up the man and said, "Yes, I am Ji Xinghan, and you are?"
The elder brother wiped away the lingering tears from his cheeks, a hint of embarrassment on his face: "I am Jiang Wuyong."
Jiang Wuyong?
Ji Xinghan was taken aback, then suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen Jiang Wuyong speaking in the chat channel; he was also from this instance.
So, he was trapped in the ice cave just like me?
Jiang Wuyong wiped away the tears on his face, sniffed, and his face flushed red. He asked cautiously and uncertainly, "You...didn't see anything just now, did you?"
Ji Xinghan glanced at it and said seriously, "Yeah, I was deaf and blind just now!"
She probably understood that Jiang Wuyong didn't want anyone to see her crying.
Upon hearing Ji Xinghan's words, Jiang Wuyong's face was filled with despair.
However, after only a few seconds, he realized: "So, Ji Xinghan, you're trapped in the ice cave too?"
Ji Xinghan nodded.
Jiang Wuyong perked up immediately, as if he had found someone to rely on. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Ji Xinghan: "So how do we get out of here?"
Ji Xinghan: ...
Suddenly, an idea struck her. She hadn't shared any skills today, so she should hurry up and share one; maybe she could share a useful skill.
However, I'm so unlucky today, I just ended up in an ice cave. I guess my luck isn't very good, and I won't be able to share any good skills.
She said to Jiang Wuyong, "Where's your clairvoyance? Want to use it?"
Jiang Wuyong's eyes lit up: "How come I didn't think of that? Hey, use it, use it!"
He was tall and couldn't stand up straight in the ice cave, so he sat down cross-legged and said while using his skill, "Although my clairvoyance has been upgraded and I can see NPCs, it depends on luck. I've used it for so long and have only seen one NPC, Master Chongyue."
With a "whoosh," a light screen lit up in front of them.
Ji Xinghan walked over and sat down cross-legged to watch with Jiang Wuyong.
Within the light screen, a blanket of white snow and frost appeared.
Then, there were two figures, one of whom was sitting on the ground with his back to them, his red clothes stained with blood, his long hair cascading down to his waist, and his hands trembling slightly.
Blood was gushing from his hands.
There was already a pool of blood on the ice beside him.
It was bright red and had already solidified.
Ji Xinghan and Jiang Wuyong could only see the situation of the person opposite them.
He was a young man, handsome with an effeminate face, wearing blue clothes, and smiling.
His smile was laced with ruthlessness and smugness.
He spoke: "Hahaha, you've finally fallen into my hands. I'm curious, even now, why haven't you logged out of the instance? Is there someone here you absolutely must see?"
Ji Xinghan stared intently at the girl in red's retreating figure.
She felt that the figure from behind was strangely familiar.
The girl coughed softly, and with just that one cough, Ji Xinghan was shaken to his core.
It's my older sister!
It's Ji Yunnuan!
