Chapter 34 p2
This entire bamboo forest was made of Thunder Pattern Bamboo, which was extremely ferocious. Each section of bamboo could explode. They had just stepped on a fallen bamboo.
Li Feng and Zuo He were strong. The injuries they had suffered from fighting demonic beasts were all made up for by this Thunder Pattern Bamboo explosion.
The three of them were blown back dozens of meters, but they quickly got up again.
Yu Chi was very tempted by this bamboo. She took out a large pile of bandages as if they were free and declared that she had to get a Thunder Pattern Bamboo today!
Her strength was not enough, so she was particularly fond of this natural weapon. As long as she could get one, she could continuously plant and produce it.
They were here to explore and adventure, so the two men had no objection, but…
“You wait for us outside,” Li Feng said.
Yu Chi looked at him with a hopeful face. Could it be that this guy was being considerate…
“You’re too much of a burden,” he completed the sentence.
“Oh,” Yu Chi replied coldly.
She admitted that she had been seriously injured when she was blown away just now. If it weren’t for the [Song of Armor] that Li Feng had given her before, her HP would probably have dropped to a sliver.
But… okay.
“Be careful,” Yu Chi waved her little handkerchief.
The two of them disappeared into the bamboo forest. Soon, only the sound of various explosions could be heard. Yu Chi waited anxiously outside. About half an hour later, she saw two men, covered in black, walk out.
Forget about Li Feng, but you, cool fair-skin, why are you like this too, cool fair-skin!
Yu Chi quickly handed the two of them bandages to replenish their health and put the bamboo into her space.
“You need to hold the end when you use it,” Zuo He pursed his lips. His eye corner was cut by a bamboo splinter and was bleeding. “Otherwise, it will explode.”
Yu Chi felt a little guilty and quickly said, “If this Thunder Pattern Bamboo is cultivated, I will definitely let you guys use it first.”
Li Feng looked at her speechlessly. When he spoke, only a mouthful of white teeth could be seen on his blackened face, and he was still spitting out black smoke. “What is ‘you guys’?”
Yu Chi made it up: “You are in my heart, so it’s ‘you guys’.”
The number one and number two on the ranking were better than she had imagined. Yu Chi had the thought of making friends.
Although she could live very well on her own, it was a different feeling to have someone with her.
Yu Chi took out her water cup that could hold an infinite amount of water and let the two of them wash their faces.
Now, 20 hours had passed, and there were only 4 hours left before they left the island. Thinking of her initial vigilance, Yu Chi felt that their interaction now was quite interesting.
But what surprised her the most was the Vermilion Bird Wood. She had originally thought it would be the most difficult goal of this trip, but she had not expected that there was a small Vermilion Bird Wood forest next to this Thunder Pattern Bamboo forest.
Yu Chi just felt that this snow mountain was too un-snow-mountain-like.
The Vermilion Bird Wood did not have any great special features, but it was extremely useful in construction. The three of them, relying on the [Two-Sided Mirror] space, had gotten quite a few roots.
“So where is that ancient dragon you were talking about?” Li Feng directly tore off his tattered shirt.
He wanted to see the ancient dragon he had been thinking about. He had already mentioned it several times on the way.
Yu Chi’s dead fish eyes: “I don’t know. It’s best if it doesn’t come out.”
No one knew how deep her psychological shadow was.
Zuo He on the other side also took off his clothes. His skin was fairer, and the wounds on it were particularly obvious.
Yu Chi sat between the two of them and yawned. After 20 hours of high-intensity exploration, she was now very sleepy.
Li Feng pulled her aside to talk.
“Isn’t it bad for us to isolate him like this?” Yu Chi felt a little guilty.
Li Feng was disappointed in her. “Have you forgotten your hatred?”
Yu Chi was confused, thinking that Zuo He hadn’t stolen his roasted meat on the way.
Li Feng: “Your battle of the two cults, my battle of the rankings!”
Yu Chi: …
Big brother, if you had just lowered your voice a little, I would have cooperated with you.
Yu Chi was so embarrassed that her whole body tensed up. She wished she could find a piece of land to bury Li Feng in, and then stomp on it twice, so that he would never be able to climb out!
Yes, they had indeed said they would fight at the end… but so what? Is that a reason for you to shout so loudly!
When Zuo He found that the two of them were secretly talking without him, he had indeed felt uncomfortable at first… but it was also understandable. After all, the two of them were closer.
But all these pretentious thoughts came to an abrupt end with Li Feng’s angry roar—
…Idiot.
Does he really have to play with these two? Zuo He’s cold heart couldn’t help but feel a trace of doubt.
The last thing the treasure-seeking compass pointed to was a meal of iceberg snow lotuses. As soon as the few of them got close, they saw a large silver-white snake. It was quietly closing its eyes, as if in a deep sleep. Its huge body was wrapped around the iceberg snow lotuses.
Yu Chi focused her attention on the spirit plant not far away. This iceberg snow lotus was extremely beautiful, and it exuded a lustrous glow. Its quality would definitely not be lower than rare, and it might even be of the Legendary grade!
For a moment, everyone’s hearts were on fire. But just then, an accident happened…
As everyone knows, teleportation items are not common among low-end players, but they are old friends for high-end players. Yu Chi had once been persecuted by a teleportation item.
—She seriously suspected that someone was secretly selling this kind of item to deliberately cause turmoil among the players.
Just as the few of them were tense, their eyes locked on the iceberg snow lotus, ready to strike, the figure of a strange man appeared out of thin air next to them!
The man still had a murderous aura. He should have used a teleportation item to come here specifically.
But he hadn’t expected that there were actually three people in front of him, and his destination was not on a boat at all, but an extremely cold snow mountain!
He first shivered from the cold, then quickly reacted. He decisively chose to attack the weakest person.
The weakest, Yu Chi: “…”
I’ll say it a thousand times, don’t bully a young man for being poor.
The long sword approached her. Yu Chi leaned back, and vines quickly extended from her sleeves. At the same time, the [Treant Guardian] extended its left arm to block the long sword, and its right hand grabbed at the strange man.
On the other side, Li Feng and Zuo He also attacked at the same time.
A long spear with a chilling murderous aura and an ice spike with a piercing cold instantly greeted this person—the strange man’s strength was not bad. He actually managed to dodge these attacks with his speed, and then… his body fell back with inertia and he stepped directly on the head of that large white snake!
“Good… good movement technique,” Yu Chi couldn’t help but murmur.
What kind of courage is this? He provoked the big boss that they didn’t dare to act rashly against as soon as he came up—
You see, this sleeping large snake is a full level 23!
For a moment, Yu Chi, Li Feng, and Zuo He all stopped their actions. The air fell into a strange stalemate.
Yu Chi: …What to do?
Li Feng: Fuck, let’s kill him together.
Zuo He: Mmm.
This strange man’s origin was unknown, but that large snake had been woken up by this series of movements. It shook its head and threw the strange man from the air. Then, its tail whipped angrily, directly sending the man in the air flying more than ten meters away, crashing into a distant iceberg.
Yu Chi clearly saw the man spit out a mouthful of blood and slide down from the air, half-dead.
The three of them did not hesitate. They had to get the iceberg snow lotus. Although this snake was of a high level, its appearance was not as scary as the giant crocodile. It was barely fightable.
“You go deal with that man… and then take the opportunity to steal a lotus flower,” Li Feng’s usual smile disappeared, his brows furrowed. It was clear that he felt the large snake was not easy to deal with.
“Have you killed someone before?” he asked.
Yu Chi felt her fingertips go numb. She felt the urgency of the situation. That large snake was angry.
“Worry about yourself,” she pursed her lips. After saying that, she turned and ran towards the strange man in the distance.
The battle between Li Feng, Zuo He, and the large snake could not be disturbed by any unexpected factors. The large snake was about ten levels higher than the two of them. One mistake could be a matter of life and death.
Yu Chi didn’t dare to look at the situation behind her. When she ran up to the strange man, the other party was already sitting on the ground, seemingly healing himself.
There was no need for communication. Vines flew out directly from her sleeves, and flames wrapped around them, trying to bind the man. Unexpectedly, the man reacted quickly. A cold, long sword appeared in his hand. He swung it twice, cutting the vines, and then rushed towards her.
Yu Chi spun around and dodged. The man’s strength was very strong, no less than hers. The impact from the large snake had not caused him serious injuries.
Her sharp eyes caught a glimpse of what the other party was using to heal—was it actually bandages and adhesive bandages?
Yu Chi: “…” Slightly broken.
The most hellish thing was that after the other party had finished healing, she had gained a few dozen EXP points.
She really wanted to ask the other party if he knew about this.
Relying on the [Treant Guardian], Yu Chi fought several rounds with the man with a Silver Moon Scimitar in her hand. Her movements were chaotic, with a pure naturalness that had not been practiced at all.
In other words, it was unpredictable, and she was purely relying on the Treant Guardian to back her up.
The two of them were of similar levels, but their focus was different. Yu Chi’s Spirit was very outstanding, while her opponent was clearly on the path of brute force.
Fortunately, the other party was a little injured. Yu Chi and the Treant Guardian cooperated. The Silver Moon Scimitar directly cut several wounds on the strange man. Plus the unexpectedness of the vines, she had gained some advantage.
However, Yu Chi was still getting a little impatient. She wanted to know how the other side was doing. The [Morph Skill] was part of her strength. Thinking of this, she did not hesitate—
The appearance of the flames was particularly abrupt in the snow mountain. The surrounding air suddenly changed. The extreme cold slowly receded, and it actually became hot.
The strange man looked up in surprise and uncertainty. In his line of sight, the girl’s figure became illusory, and in its place, a large red bird appeared. Its entire body was covered in crimson flames. Just by getting close, one could feel the heat from it.
The large red bird tilted its head back and let out a cry. The next second, it rushed straight towards him. Its speed was so fast that he couldn’t react at all!
“You—how is that possible?!” The man’s voice began to change pitch. He began to shout like a madman, constantly trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
The flames burned from his clothes to his skin. Unlike ordinary flames, it was as if his flesh and soul were being burned together, causing him to feel unbearable pain.
Yu Chi wanted to speak, but a fireball came out of her mouth.
The man screamed, and his whole person was engulfed in flames.
Yu Chi: “…”
What if she wanted to say that she didn’t do it on purpose… she had originally wanted to ask the other party where he had gotten the teleportation item.
At the same time, a deafening sound of a suona suddenly sounded from the other side of the battlefield, which was extremely abrupt.
Yu Chi instantly widened her black-bean bird eyes.
What is that—
Is it Li Feng or… Zuo He?!

(Let’s just assume that the snow mountain in this world won’t cause an avalanche because of sound [Rainbow fart])
I feel like time is so tight, and I’m not very satisfied with what I’ve written [Sobbing]. I was originally going to write 3000 words, but I felt that I had to write out the little conspiracy part… I have to finish it tomorrow (clenches fist)!
Mini-theater:
Some people… have actually been hiding a big secret. Who could it be?
