Chapter 106 The Locked Box
Jin Baiwan: "What are you bragging about? They'll all die if they come! Bah!"
Zhu Neng: "Pah, what pah? Look how many people your District 88 has only beaten?"
Zhu Neng was particularly irritable. He was Zhu Xing's older brother, both of whom were members of the Ji family gang, and he was also Ji Wenqiao's confidant.
Ji Wenqiao specifically instructed the three brothers to come together and intercept Ji Xinghan.
At the time, the three brothers found it laughable. Why would they need all three of them to kill Ji Xinghan? Any one of them would have sufficed.
Zhu Xing was particularly disdainful, and while he and his elder brother were catching the horse, he grabbed a horse and ran away.
It was also his fault; he shared the same thought as Zhu Xing, believing that any one of the three brothers could kill Ji Xinghan, so he let him go.
To my surprise, I received Zhu Xing's suicide note.
At that moment, Zhu Neng went mad. He wanted nothing more than to tear Ji Xinghan to pieces, but he rode his horse around aimlessly and couldn't find Ji Xinghan at all.
The only outlet for venting is in the chat channel.
The chat channel was in complete chaos.
Yue Datong was extremely smug: "What's all the fuss about? So what if Ji Xinghan is powerful? Is she just unlucky? If she's so capable, let her come to the PK stage! Come on then!"
Ji Xinghan frowned. Why was it so difficult to find a mount?
"Meow!" Little Dingdang meowed, nibbled at Ji Xinghan's trouser leg, and pulled her towards the water's edge.
He pulled them to the water's edge and anxiously pointed into the water.
What's in the water?
Ji Xinghan glanced down, and suddenly a golden light flashed in the water...
What's inside?
Ji Xinghan bent down and strained to look into the water.
There looks like a box underwater!
She reached into the water, intending to pull the box out.
"Meow!" Suddenly, Doraemon let out a loud cry.
Not good! Ji Xinghan sensed something was wrong and immediately straightened up. With a splash, a huge creature leaped out of the water and charged straight at her.
Ji Xinghan immediately stepped back.
The water beast suddenly lunged forward, landing on the water's edge, almost hitting her foot.
Ji Xinghan then realized that it was a strange-looking water beast, resembling a crocodile but with much shorter legs.
It thrashed around a few times before disappearing back into the water.
Soon, the water returned to calm.
With a heavy heart, Ji Xinghan slowly walked back and poked the bottom with his longsword to gauge the depth of the treasure chest.
As soon as I poked it, there was a "splash" in the water, and the strange water beast rushed out again.
Fortunately, she was prepared this time and immediately jumped ashore, causing the water beast to disappear back into the water.
Dingdang walked around on the shore, barking impatiently several times. It circled the box, barking as if urging Ji Xinghan to quickly retrieve it.
Ji Xinghan smiled bitterly to herself. She had just tried it, and the treasure chest was about one meter deep. She didn't know if it was heavy or not. That water beast was so clever that it would rush up as soon as she went into the water, and she wouldn't have time to get the treasure chest.
However, the treasure chest was exquisite and beautiful, and it was clearly not ordinary.
She wanted to bring it up again.
What should we do?
Ji Xinghan glanced at the chat channel and saw someone say: "Hahaha, climbing mountains is hard, use the [Five-Claw Flying Hook], it's so fast it's almost too late."
Ji Xinghan had just checked the chat channel and knew some information.
The locations of the PK platforms vary greatly; some are on grassland plains, some on small islands in lakes, some on mountain peaks, and some on cliffs.
Therefore, some unfortunate players cannot get onto the PK platform even if they get close to it.
For example, those who can't swim can't go to the island in the middle of the lake, and those who can't climb mountains can't go to the top of the mountain.
The most ridiculous thing is that some of the PK arenas are on cliffs. Who can get up there? The players assigned to these PK arenas are in a real bind.
Clearly, that person had figured out a way and found a [five-clawed grappling hook].
[Five-claw grappling hook: This hook has five retractable claws that can firmly grip rocks, making it an essential piece of equipment for rock climbing. Of course, you need to know how to use it.]
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat. If the grappling hook could grip the rock tightly, how could it not grab the treasure chest?
It would be great if we could buy it.
She glanced at the man's name—Jiang Rubing. Now, he had climbed onto the PK stage.
Ji Xinghan privately messaged Jiang Rubing: "Do you sell your five-clawed throwing hook?"
Jiang Rubing: "Ji Xinghan? You're about to start the PK battle, aren't you going to the PK stage?"
Ji Xinghan glanced at the time and sighed. Killing Zhu Xing had wasted a lot of time, and trying to retrieve the chest had also wasted more than ten minutes. In just over ten minutes, the PK would begin.
How can she go?
Even if she finds a mount now, she won't be able to go to the PvP arena, so she'll have to give up.
She gave up on PK, but she absolutely didn't want to give up on this treasure chest.
She said, "Hmm, I'm not going. Do you sell your five-claw grappling hook?"
Jiang Rubing: "To be honest, I've had twenty or thirty people ask me to buy grappling hooks, but I haven't answered a single one. If it were you... I'd consider it. After all, you killed that trash Ji Wenhua and avenged my sister!"
Ji Xinghan was a little confused: "Huh? Your sister? Ji Wenhua killed your sister?"
Jiang Rubing snorted: "I didn't kill him, he lied. I cursed his ancestors for eight generations back then!"
Ji Xinghan suddenly remembered that after Ji Wenhua was tricked out of the service area square by her, he limped around and tricked a little girl, only to be scolded by the little girl's brother.
The insults they used back then were incredibly vulgar.
So, is it this Jiang Rubi?
It was fate, she thought, and quickly asked, "How do I change it?"
Jiang Rubing: "Exchanging won't work, I still need it. How about this, I'll lend it to you for a bit, how long?"
"Just a quick use will do," Ji Xinghan exclaimed with delight. "It'll only take a few minutes."
Jiang Rubing immediately sent a five-clawed flying hook.
Ji Xinghan took the five-clawed grappling hook in his hand, looked at it, and was very satisfied.
The rope of the five-claw grappling hook was very long, probably more than ten meters. Ji Xinghan walked to the shore, swung it around several times, and then swung it with a "smack," sending the grappling hook into the water.
Then, it missed.
Ji Xinghan suddenly understood what "you have to know how to throw it" meant in the introduction.
She won't dump me!
After about five minutes of testing, Ji Xinghan finally managed to throw the grappling hook onto the treasure chest. With a pull, it landed heavily.
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed. Finally, she pulled hard...
With a splash, water sprayed everywhere, and the strange water beast leaped out of the water, roared, and pounced.
not good!
Ji Xinghan stepped back and pulled hard, slowly bringing an exquisite treasure chest ashore.
The water beast panicked and pounced with its front paws, pinning down the treasure chest.
Oh no! That won't do!
Ji Xinghan also panicked. With a "whoosh," he took out the exquisite umbrella that had transformed into a spear and stabbed it hard into the giant beast's foot.
"Awooo!" the water beast cried out again.
Little Dingdang took flight just in time, its two claws darting about, scratching the water beast's foot.
"Roar!" The water beast roared again, and with a push of its claws, Ji Xinghan pulled hard, finally bringing the treasure chest to his front.
She picked up the treasure chest and ran away.
She didn't stop until she was far from the shore.
Tinker Bell happily ran back, meowing incessantly around the treasure chest while sniffing around.
Seeing its excited appearance, Ji Xinghan suddenly had a thought: Could this be a snack that Doraemon likes to eat?
She touched it.
[A Locked Treasure Chest: This is an exquisite and gorgeous chest that its owner loves, so it's locked. Do you have the key?]
key?
Didn't she just get a win?
