Chapter 121 Snow Beetle
Scarlett thought about it carefully.
Mo Ting’s danger index is ten stars, so don’t get close to him.
Riley is sometimes good and sometimes unpredictable, with a danger index of seven stars.
Dzeko.
The most innocent of the three.
He is quiet, capable, and has no shortcomings except being cold.
He and Mo Ting are both SS-level and can compete with each other.
Scarlett nodded silently, and the next person to be won over was Dzeko.
"Hi."
Scarlett mustered up her courage and stepped forward to say hello.
Riley lowered his eyes and saluted, "Your Highness."
Zheke also bowed his head, "Your Highness."
Mo Ting glanced at Scarlett silently, "Your Highness."
If Scarlett heard correctly, Mo Ting's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, which made her teeth ache.
Scarlett ignored the frightening noise and said with a smile, "There are four more people heading south, quite far from us. Let's meet up with them while we search for gems."
Originally everyone was near her, but Brian took her a little far away and their positions were suddenly messed up.
A difference of several thousand kilometers.
You cannot use flying props on the desolate planet, you have to rely on yourself to walk.
Scarlett's suggestion was good and everyone agreed.
The gems required to pass the level appear randomly, there are no special conditions, but they are a bit troublesome to find.
Everything around is white, and if you stare at it for too long, you will easily get burned by the snow.
Fortunately, Scarlett was prepared.
We took out sunglasses to prevent snow blindness from the space, gave each person a pair, and then put them on and continued on our journey.
Scarlett deliberately fell a few steps behind and walked beside Dzeko.
Brian took a look and took a few steps behind her, walking beside her to protect her.
Dzeko unknowingly became the dividing line between the four.
On the left are Mo Ting and Riley.
On the right are Scarlett and Brian.
The atmosphere is neither good nor bad, it seems calm.
After walking for about ten minutes, Scarlett pushed her sunglasses that had slipped down her nose and asked, "Are we the only ones on this planet?"
More than 3,000 families participated in the competition this time.
There are thirty-two barren planets in the first stage, but she has been walking for so long and has not seen anyone else. Even if the portal is a random transmission, they would not be so lucky to have a planet to themselves.
"They're hiding," Riley said.
"Hide?" Scarlett was stunned.
Riley explained, "Your Highness, the ratio of participants from the heavenly world to the underground world is 1 to 10. Most of them are civilians. They don't have many resources and most of them seek stability. They won't easily show up for us to see."
As for why we should hide from them.
The answer is obvious.
Worried about being killed.
There are no rules in the resource competition, and any means are allowed.
The nobles treated the common people like ants, playing with them at will and never letting them go if they saw them.
The fewer people there are, the greater their chances of passing the level.
Scarlett hummed, then asked, "Is there no one from the heavenly world on this planet?"
At this time.
Mo Ting twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes."
He looked at Scarlett with a strange smile, "But they are all afraid of you and have hidden themselves."
"Afraid of me?"
Scarlett pointed at herself in surprise.
"Scarlett, the notorious vicious female in the interstellar world, will bring bad luck to anyone who encounters her. Aren't they afraid?"
Mo Ting's voice was very pleasant, like a steady cello playing a magnificent melody, but his words were extremely unpleasant and full of sarcasm.
If she couldn't beat him, Scarlett would have wanted to rub his head hard in the snow!
She gritted her teeth and forced herself to endure it.
There is no guarantee of safety now, so we can’t do anything rash.
Scarlett comforted herself silently, turned to Mo Ting, smiled brightly, and said gently, "That's true."
Mo Ting was stunned and his brows tightened a little.
Scarlett isn't angry?
Zheke was close to Scarlett, and seeing her bulging cheeks, he knew the smile wasn't genuine, a forced one. He consoled her, "Your Highness, Mo Ting was joking. You're the Imperial Princess, His Majesty's only daughter. You're a noble and honorable person. They wouldn't dare attack you if they met you. Why bother showing up, right?"
This sentence made much more sense than the previous one. Scarlett felt warm in her heart after hearing it and nodded quickly, "Yes."
Scarlett is good at comforting herself.
Now that someone is comforting her, she is getting better faster.
In just a few seconds, he regained his previous energetic appearance and continued walking.
…
…
The ice and snow coverage rate of A9 barren planet is 99%. Thick snow layers, towering snow-capped mountains, and frozen lakes fill this barren planet.
Except for the blue sky and the lake, the rest is all white, which is dizzying.
It's not only cold here, but also very dry. The wind is sharper than a knife. When it blows on my face, my skin feels like it's about to crack at any time. The more I walk, the more painful it becomes.
Scarlett took out the protective mask and put it on.
I gave them one each.
The rings didn't show the time, and they didn't know how long they had been gone.
There is always a light above your head that never goes out, and in front of you are always endless snow-capped mountains and rugged roads that seem to have no end in sight.
Most importantly, Scarlett didn't find a gem and saw an outsider.
It was as if they were the only five people left in the world, walking aimlessly in a spotless world.
Infinite loneliness and fear came one after another, wrapping Scarlett tightly.
It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.
If the light spots on the screen hadn't moved and slowly approached, Scarlett would have felt like she was trapped in a loop.
Scarlett was tired from walking and wanted to sit down to rest and take a look at the others.
Everyone was wearing masks and sunglasses, so I couldn't see their expressions and didn't know if they were tired.
Before coming in, she said that she would do her best and would never fall behind. Since they didn't say they were tired, she was too lazy to stop and just gritted her teeth and kept going.
The waterproof boots made a "crunching" sound as they stepped into the snow. With every step Scarlett took, she felt like there were hands in the snow, pulling at her ankles and not allowing her to lift them up.
This caused her steps to become heavier and heavier.
Scarlett was extremely tired at this moment, but she did not relax her vigilance at all. When her ankle felt pulled again, she quickly took out a stick knife, held it in her hand backwards, and plunged it into the snow.
A muffled groan startled Scarlett and her brows tightened.
Is there a person under your feet?
She pulled out the stick knife and saw that half of the blade was stained with blood.
The smell of blood was brought out.
Even if it is diluted by ice and snow, it still cannot escape the noses of the orcs.
Everyone stopped.
They didn't say anything but cooperated well.
Zheke squatted at the bleeding spot, stretched out his long arm, and completely immersed it in the snow. When he pulled it out, there was suddenly a creature that looked like a human but was not human in his hand.
It has human facial features, but its skin is covered with a thin layer of brown hair. It has a pale face and thin body. It carries a green shell on its back and has a long green tail behind it.
When it saw that it was caught, it opened its mouth and was about to scream.
Riley's brows furrowed, and he threw out a silencer and put it on its mouth to stop it from making any sound.
Scarlett hid behind Brian and asked quietly, "Is it a turtle or a monkey? It looks like a combination of the two creatures."
“Neither.”
Riley said, "It's a snow beetle."
"insect?"
Scarlett looked at the half-human-high snow beetle and was a little confused. In her impression, shouldn't the bug be very small?
Without waiting for her to continue asking questions.
Riley suddenly shouted, "Oh no! Snow beetles are appearing in swarms, at least a hundred of them, making a lot of noise. We need to leave immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A huge crack appeared under Scarlett's feet, and a pair of bloody hands emerged, grabbed her ankles and pulled her down.
Scarlett held the stick knife horizontally and slashed at the bloody hands.
However.
She cut off one pair, and there was still another pair, no, not just one pair, but countless pairs.
Countless skinny and yellow hands appeared at the edge of the gap. With a force, the entire layer of ice formed by snow disappeared, and Scarlett disappeared.
All that was left was a cold ice cave in everyone's eyes.
Mo Ting jumped in without hesitation!
