Chapter 122 Clearance Progress: 17
The moment Mo Ting jumped into the ice, his eyes met Scarlett's.
Scarlett was climbing an ice wall somewhere, holding a stick knife in each hand, with the blades deeply inserted into the ice wall to stabilize her body and prevent herself from falling.
Just now, at the critical moment, Scarlett was almost taken away by the snow beetle.
Just as the ice was about to sink into the bottomless lake, she spread her wings and flew up. Unfortunately, she was not skilled enough and could not fly out completely. She could only stop on the protruding ice wall and climb out bit by bit.
The group of snow beetles carried the ice into the lake and never appeared again.
Scarlett was out of danger temporarily.
She gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, stretched out one foot, and slowly groped on the nearby ice wall with her toes, looking for a foothold.
suddenly.
She came across a hard bump and stepped on it hard. It was very stable and suitable for landing, so she stepped on it immediately.
He pulled out the stick knife with his right hand and thrust it into the gap higher up.
"Scarlett."
Halfway through the action, Scarlett suddenly heard a bland voice.
It came so suddenly that she was startled. The stick knife deviated by an inch and did not penetrate into the gap. The force lost its accuracy and the tip of the knife left a white scratch on the solid ice wall.
Scarlett also swayed and trembled, almost falling down.
"Oh my god."
"I want to die."
"There are always villains who want to murder me!"
It took Scarlett half a minute to steady herself, still complaining. After she had gained her footing, she became curious and looked towards the source of the sound.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
Under her feet was a pitch-black human head! ! ! !
Scarlett was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and her legs went weak. She wanted to pull her feet back, but there was no better place to put them. She felt guilty about keeping them there.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked with a dry laugh, "Brother, may I ask who you are?"
It doesn't look like a snow beetle, it should be a person.
Mo Ting took a calm breath.
He had just jumped into the ice cave to save Scarlett, but saw that Scarlett was already safe and was crawling up the ice wall.
He flipped over and jumped, his hands turning into sharp claws, hooking onto the ice wall to prevent himself from falling.
Scarlett's back looked timid and staggering, inexplicably funny, not at all like her usual fierce and vicious appearance.
He hid in the dark and observed for a few seconds, feeling inexplicably happy.
Scarlett was humiliated and he was very happy.
However, he didn't want to delay too long and affect the progress of the game, so he pointed his toes and flew towards Scarlett, wanting to take her out.
At the same time, Scarlett's foot came down and stepped on his head.
Mo Ting: “…”
When Mo Ting heard Scarlett's question, he took off his mask and raised his head indifferently. His sharp eyes were mixed with the chill of the ice cave as he looked at Scarlett in the dark, blue ice.
This glance almost killed Scarlett.
She yelled, "Mo Ting!!!!"
The tone was no different from "Ghost!!!!"
This moment.
All of Scarlett's fatigue was dispelled, and her survival instinct was strongly stimulated. She stepped on Mo Ting's face and pushed up hard.
The two sticks and knives were inserted into the cracks of the ice wall frantically, and her feet were also frantically looking for a foothold, climbing left and right, never stopping.
Originally, she was still some distance away from the entrance of the ice cave, but with her adrenaline surging, this distance seemed like a piece of cake to her. It didn't take long for her to climb out of that damn ice cave that scared her out of her wits.
"Scarlett."
Brian was delighted to see Scarlett coming out of the ice cave again, and he went forward to support her.
Scarlett took his hand and stood up. "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go. This is too scary."
Mo Ting killed her in the ice cave.
What a huge grudge this is.
Go away, she doesn't want to see him.
Brian thought Scarlett was frightened and said "Oh". Although he had many questions in his head, he still followed her.
He was careless before and didn't keep an eye on Scarlett, which gave the group of snow beetles an opportunity to take advantage.
It definitely won’t happen this time!
He will protect her well.
Mo Ting then jumped out of the ice cave, shook off the remaining snow on his body, and stared at Scarlett's back without saying a word.
Riley and Dzeko looked at each other.
Everything was said without words, and he walked towards Scarlett.
…
…
"Hey, Scarlett, there seems to be something in your hair."
Halfway through the walk, Brian discovered something incredible: there was a piece of mineral hidden in Scarlett's hair.
He took it off and showed it to Scarlett, "Look."
The ore is the size of a thumb, pure black, round and smooth. Under strong light, it produces colorful ring patterns such as dark blue, crimson purple, dark green, and rust red.
There is a black vertical line in the middle, which looks like an animal's eye.
Scarlett thought the ring pattern was beautiful, as brilliant as a rainbow. She held it in her hand and slowly admired it. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she turned to Riley and asked, "Riley, is this a clearance ore?"
Riley took a look and nodded, "This is dragon crystal."
Dragon crystal, also known as obsidian, is a naturally occurring black mineral.
There are many types.
Scarlett's is a rainbow eye dragon crystal.
When Scarlett heard it was a clearance ore, her eyes flashed, "Is this real?"
Riley said, "Really."
Rainbow Eye Dragon Crystal is relatively rare, cannot be faked, and is easy to identify.
Scarlett's eyes brightened, her little face beneath the mask was full of energy, and she was busy verifying the dragon crystal.
[Verification successful!]
[Clearance Progress: 1/7]
It’s true!
She stood next to Riley and continued talking to him: "Riley, do you think my ability to obtain dragon crystal is related to my encounter with the snow beetle?"
Otherwise, they had walked for so long without encountering any ore, but as soon as they came across the snow beetle ore, it appeared.
This issue deserves further study.
Riley thought about it carefully. "I don't know."
He had never participated in a resource competition and didn't know the ins and outs of it. Besides, there were no rules here, so there was no way to quickly find the ore to pass the level.
Everything depends on fate.
He really couldn't answer Scarlett's question.
Instead, Zheke said, "Your Highness, the snow beetles are from the Zerg and should have nothing to do with the resource competition."
"Are they the Zerg?" Scarlett asked in surprise.
"right."
Zheke said, "Zerg are different from ordinary insect creatures. They are about the same size as us orcs and usually appear in groups. You must be careful."
Scarlett nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder they look so big.
Thinking back to those densely packed hands, Scarlett was still terrified. She clutched her chest and asked, "Were they trying to kill me just now?"
Zheke's eyes moved, and his voice was a little unnatural, "No."
"What's that for?" Scarlett demanded.
Zheke's eyes swept across Scarlett's face gently, "Reproduction."
Scarlett was stunned. It took her a long time to digest the two words in her mind. She stared at Zheke blankly and repeated blankly: "Reproduction?"
