Chapter 133 Luring the Monster
The idea of going head-to-head with Zhu Jiuyin was his own; he just wanted to see how far he could go.
Bending down and crawling into the passage made up of countless plant roots, Wu Xie easily reached the enormous coffin chamber.
The stone coffin chamber was entangled by countless roots, and the damp environment caused it to be covered with mold and various slippery mosses.
Some of the overly developed root systems had already extended into the coffin chamber through the not-quite-sealed lid. Wu Xie took out a crowbar and inserted it into the gap that had been pushed open by the roots. With a forceful pull, the coffin lid was moved open, creating an opening large enough for a person to pass through.
The slippery chains inside the coffin were clearly not a good option, so Wu Xie took out a sturdy military rope, secured it, fastened the buckle, and slid down...
It was quite exciting for Wu Xie to complete these operations independently for the first time. Although his heart was pounding so hard it felt like a concert was going to start in his throat, his hands remained very steady.
They entered the coffin chamber without being untied by the ropes hanging on their bodies.
Wu Xie carefully examined his hands to make sure no skin was exposed, in order to avoid materializing any messy things.
For example... all sorts of demons and monsters, giant black snakes and the like...
Without the interference of some uncertain factors materialized in the original work, there was nothing inside the coffin chamber except for the coffin and murals.
Wu Xie took out his camera and carefully photographed the murals around him for future reference. Then he turned his attention to the coffin in the center of the coffin chamber.
The coffin was open, the lid was missing, and the coffin was covered with tree roots and moss.
Beneath the dense tree roots, one can still see chains hanging from the coffin, which may have already decayed.
Wu Xie cautiously peered inside the coffin, which had no filling or bottom, resembling an ancient well leading straight down into the underworld.
The pitch-black interior seemed to swallow up all light; even with his headlamp focused to its highest setting, he still couldn't see what was inside.
"boom……"
The signal flare exploded and fell to the bottom; the light from its burning flames clearly indicated how far it had gone.
"Crack..."
The burning material bumped into something, bounced, and then continued to fall...
……
After setting up the cave's defenses, Su Li squatted alone on the plank road, munching on the last candied hawthorn in her inventory, her cheeks bulging roundly.
boring……
My head feels a bit heavy from not getting enough sleep...
Feeling sleepy...
"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a ghost-faced monkey. It can be redeemed for 350 points. Do you want to redeem it?"
"Huh? Points?"
The system suddenly alerted Su Li to the points awarded to Ghost-faced Monkey, which jolted her awake. She looked up and saw a figure leaping on the bronze tree below.
Yo?
I heard them climbing up early this morning, and they're only coming up now?
Could it be that she saw herself alone?
These monkeys even know how to pick the easy targets?
The masked monkeys moved swiftly, and a monkey that was noticeably more robust had already reached the top in a few steps and leaped towards him.
'System, this one is even bigger!'
Su Li dodged the demon monkey's claws and alerted the system.
The system, with its exceptionally sharp mind, instantly understood the point and immediately put on a businesslike smile to contact the 'client'...
The fake "client" and the real "sucker" – a bizarre world consciousness: You...you've gone too far!!!
"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—the Ghost-Faced Monkey King. It can be redeemed for 500 points. Do you want to redeem it?"
Su Li, avoiding direct confrontation with the masked monkey and instead dodging and jumping, thought, "System, are you failing me?"
system:?????
What did you say???
Who's not good enough? How can you say my precious little brat is no good?
"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—the Ghost-Faced Monkey King. It can be redeemed for 1000 points. Do you want to redeem it?"
Hehehe... In short, I'll get the world consciousness to double my points...
Su Li smiled with satisfaction, no longer dodging, and used the vines in her hand to whip the ghost-faced monkey as it charged towards her.
The burly, masked monkey king was sent flying by a whip, crashing into several masked monkeys that had followed behind him.
Then more and more masked monkeys arrived.
Worried about accidentally knocking the points off the tree, Su Li stopped using violent attacks and instead used her vine whip to leap around, wrapping it around the necks of the ghost-faced monkeys and selling them off.
This wave of income wasn't as much as yesterday's from catching dragons, but every little bit helps! As Brother Zhang said, every little bit counts!
Liang Shiye and Lao Yang lay at the cave entrance, dumbfounded as the horde of masked monkeys that had previously exhausted Wu Xie and Lao Yang continued their relentless assault.
The ferocious ghost-faced monkeys couldn't even touch the hem of Su Li's clothes. They ran around in circles like dogs, and then, just like the Chi Gu from yesterday, they disappeared one by one before her eyes.
For some reason, Lao Yang suddenly remembered what Su Li had said yesterday about living in another world...
I couldn't help but swallow hard. This... this can't be how it's going to happen, can it?
"boom……"
"Roar……"
With a muffled explosion, a roar like that of a ferocious beast came from inside the bronze tree, causing the entire tree to tremble.
The masked monkey, which had gone from being the pursuer to the pursued, seemed to sense some kind of unparalleled terror and began to scatter, trying to escape down the tree.
The points are already within reach, how can we let them slip away like this?
Energetic with the activity, Zuli's vines grew rapidly, and she exchanged every last one of the remaining ghost-faced monkeys for points...
Just as the last ghost-faced monkey was being sent off to find work, a figure burst out of the cave entrance surrounded by countless tree roots.
The figure ran incredibly fast, darting out and speeding towards the plank road.
Less than two seconds after the figure rushed out, a huge black head poked its head out.
The front of the triangular skull, covered by fine black scales, was now exposed, with dark red blood seeping out.
The single, purplish-black eye was now gleaming with ferocity, clearly enraged beyond measure, wishing it could immediately crush and devour the little insect that dared to injure it.
Oh ho...
What did Xiaotianzhen do? How did she manage to anger Zhujiuyin like this?
Wu Xie explained that he hadn't really done anything; he just noticed the signal flare wasn't working, so he casually tossed a grenade down...
"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a materialized life form (Zhu Jiuyin). 100% energy remaining, 100000 points available for exchange. Exchange now?"
Wow!!!
This is a huge business opportunity, Master!
Su Li's eyes lit up as she watched Zhu Jiuyin relentlessly pursuing Wu Xie. The little guy was quite unique in appearance, and his dark skin was truly distinctive!
