Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As Qian Shanxue and Lin Shuang finished reading the introduction, the lives of the two Magical Ice Frogs came to an end. After leaving behind a piece of Purple equipment and eight silver coins, it turned into ice crystals and dissipated into the air.
[Jingxin Bell]
[Level Requirement: 15]
[Grade: Purple]
[Attack Power: 100]
[Defense: 200]
[Illusion resistance: 500]
[Additional effect: It can greatly strengthen the wearer’s illusion resistance and prevent them from being confused by mental attacks like illusions.]
Looking at the Jingxin Bell with powerful abilities, Lin Shuang’s face instantly revealed joy. Then, he tied it to his waist.
Qian Shanxue no longer loses her composure like before. After all, on the way to the Ice Mine, they had only encountered more than twenty wild monsters.
Lin Shuang dropped twenty pieces of Purple equipment and a total of eight gold coins. This made Qian Shanxue, who had been with him along the way, felt so lucky she had a certain ability to accept it. Now, even if Lin Shuang killed a wild monster and dropped Orange equipment, she would not be surprised.
Lin Shuang looked at Qian Shanxue, who was staring at him as if she had facial paralysis. Thinking that she wanted the Jingxin Bell, he took off the Jingxin Bell that he had just hung on his waist and handed it to Qian Shanxue. “I’ll give this to you first. You’re not as strong as me, and you’re an archer. This is more useful to you than me. If I’m pulled into the illusion by the wild monsters, I’ll have to rely on you to support me from afar.”
With that, Lin Shuang slowly advanced deeper into the Ice Mine. From time to time, he would slash out a few times to test if there were wild monsters hiding behind the rocks or in dark corners.
Qian Shanxue held the Jingxin Bell that Lin Shuang handed over and his exposed back to her without holding back. She immediately had mixed feelings. One had to know that the price of a top-grade Purple equipment had already reached about a million.
Lin Shuang actually gave it to her without hesitation. He had only known her for a few days and she had wanted to rob him previously. Yet, he treated her as a partner. It was a hundred times, a thousand times better than the teammates she had encountered previously who would fall out with each other for some equipment.
At the thought of this, a trace of determination flashed in Qian Shanxue’s eyes. She swore to herself that as long as Lin Shuang treated her as a companion, she would not let anyone hurt Lin Shuang in front of her.
At this moment, Lin Shuang still didn’t know that because of his unintentional actions, he had actually obtained a companion who could rely on for life and death.
With Qian Shanxue’s Jingxin Bell, it was impossible for the Magical Ice Frog to cause any damage to Lin Shuang and the others and restrict their movements. In just ten minutes, all the Magical Ice Frogs within a thousand meters of the entrance of the Ice Mine were eliminated. more than ten Jingxin Bells dropped.
Apart from a few of the Jingxin Bells that he kept for himself, the rest were woven into a bracelet by Qian Shanxue using the Arctic Silkworm they had killed on the way here. The two of them walked back and forth at the entrance of the Ice Mine a few times, but they did not see any Magical Ice Frogs. They gave up on the idea of knitting a few more bracelets to give away and continued deeper into the Ice Mine.
Fortunately, wild monsters were the NPC in the Glory world. It was just a fixed program. Otherwise, they would definitely beat and scold Lin Shuang.
[How could he take advantage of them like this! He just caught them, the Magical Ice Frogs, and killed them!]
[Moreover, he wants to make a few bracelets with the Jingxin Bell. Even if he’s bullying a frog, he shouldn’t bully it like this!]
As Qian Shanxue and Lin Shuang entered the Ice Mine, a thousand meters away, the system’s notice sounded in their ears again.
[You have entered the hidden map: Ice Mine (2). Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous.]
As the system notification ended, Lin Shuang and Qian Shanxue entered a wide underground karst cave. As far as the eye could see, a large number of Five-Colored Fluorites were embedded at the top of the entire underground karst cave.
It emitted fluorescence of various colors, illuminating the entire empty underground karst cave. However, under the illumination of this beautiful fluorescent light, the ground of the incomparably wide underground karst cave was a terrifying scene for people with trypophobia.
On the ground of the karst cave, there was a deep pool formed by several large, dark green underground water veins. On the surface of the deep pool, on the ground of the underground karst cave, there were densely packed worms that looked like maggots and earthworms.
[Frost Worm (Larva)]
[Level: 5]
[Health: 1,000]
[Attack: 100]
[Defense: 200]
[Strength: 100]
[Skill: Corrosive Frost Poison]
[Introduction: The larva of the overlord of the Ice Mine. It is weak, but there are many of them. It has the ability to spray corrosive frost poison.]
Even the two of them, who did not have trypophobia, felt exceptionally disgusted by this terrifying scene.
“What kind of map is this? How can there be such disgusting wild monsters? There are more than ten thousand of them!” Lin Shuang swore that this was one of the most disgusting maps he had ever seen. Even the map of flesh and corpses before his rebirth did not feel as heavy as this map.
Qian Shanxue, whose face was pale from disgust, could not help but take a few steps back, wanting to distance herself from this extremely disgusting scene. However, just as Qian Shanxue took a few steps back, a huge Broken Dragon Stone suddenly fell from the entrance where the two of them came, blocking their retreat.
The moment the Broken Dragon Stone landed, the worms that were originally quiet in the underground karst cave instantly roared. It opened its bloody mouth and spat out countless dark blue balls of light that emitted a sour smell, attacking Lin Shuang and Qian Shanxue.
Looking at the corrosive frost poison that flew over like a sky full of stars, their faces were filled with disgust. He hurriedly used the Frost Armor Shield that was dropped after he killed the Iron-armored Frost Fox and blocked the corrosive frost poison that danced in the sky.
The attack power of the Frost Worm’s larva was indeed as weak as the system had introduced, but it could not withstand the quantity. In just a minute, at least tens of thousands of corrosive frost poison were fired at Lin Shuang and Qian Shanxue.
Looking at the decreasing durability of the Frost Armor Shield’s attribute interface, the two of them knew that they could no longer sit still and wait for death. They had to attack back.
The two of them looked at each other and decided on their attack strategy according to their characteristics.
Lin Shuang, who had high damage and strong defense, was not afraid of insects. He attacked head-on and destroyed the Frost Worm’s larva.
Qian Shanxue used the Frost Wings that dropped when she killed the Arctic Eagle and flew into the sky. While providing support to Lin Shuang, she used a large-scale archery skill to destroy the Frost Worm’s larva.
