Chapter 267 Cocoon
Jian Yiqiu was also stunned for a moment, then he frowned and held Shao Jing down.
"Behave yourself for now. Whether or not to blow up the bridge is another matter. Let's listen to what Xiao Jin has to say first."
Xiao Jin sat down on a chair, dropped a bomb on everyone, then took out a bucket of fried chicken from the space, wiped his hands and started eating.
While chewing, he sipped the hot chocolate milk.
Seeing Shao Jing's questioning look, he didn't get angry.
“I went downtown…”
Just hearing the first words, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
What kind of place is Y City now? It's a monster's lair! Xiao Jin actually dared to go to the city!
Shao Jing hissed, and Cheng Ce's pupils shrank.
Jian Yiqiu's face turned pale: "You are crazy! This is what you said to make me believe you."
Xiao Jin paused in gnawing on the chicken leg, and when he lowered his head, a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes.
After a while, she found a bowl of steaming peanut and black sesame dumplings and placed it in front of Jian Yiqiu.
After seeing the dumplings, Jian Yiqiu almost laughed out of anger.
Shao Jing leaned back in his chair with a helpless look on his face, as if he was not the one who was so excited just now.
"Hey, bystanders have no part!" Xiao Jin gave him a glare with a mean tone.
"I'm not your godfather. Dad isn't full, so you should starve!"
Shao Jing: “……???”
He stammered and pointed back and forth: "You, you are kidding me, God, I must have heard it wrong!"
Even Gao Ya, who was watching the fun from the side, had a strange look on her face.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jin's "naughtiness" only lasted for a second. After she finished speaking, she continued eating as if nothing had happened.
On the contrary, Shao Jing became angry and embarrassed when he saw Cheng Ce laughing at the side.
"Okay, Lao Cheng, as a brother, not only did you not speak up for me, you even laughed at me. I'm telling you, you're done! Don't expect me to bring you toilet paper next time you go to the toilet... Mmmmm~"
Cheng Ce covered Shao Jing's mouth tightly with one hand and said hurriedly: "Well, what were we talking about? Why did you blow up the bridge? Continue, continue..."
"Puchi!" Gao Ya covered her mouth and laughed secretly, while Cheng Ce's face turned visibly purple.
If it weren't for their years of brotherhood, Cheng Ce would have wanted to strangle Shao Jing to death!
However, after this interruption, the atmosphere among the crowd eased a lot, and Jian Yiqiu also took the spoon, scooped a glutinous rice ball and put it into his mouth.
Afterwards, Xiao Jin told everything he had seen this morning.
As everyone listened, their expressions changed from indifference, frowning, worry, to fear and hesitation. In just a few minutes, the monitoring room, which had been bustling with activity, returned to silence again.
Finally, Xiao Jin threw out the last bone and ended with a sentence, which completely disrupted the plans of Jian Yiqiu and others.
"I was wrong before. There won't be a tide of snow beasts at noon. Tomorrow is the day they launch their general attack."
According to previous gaming experience, the closer it gets to the time of return, the more frequent dangers will appear.
All the players thought so, including Xiao Jin before, so everyone was waiting for today's beast tide.
But now you tell me that they are not going to play by the rules.
I will let you have a good rest today. After that, I will secretly gather a large army and prepare to attack you when you let your guard down!
Several people wanted to refute, but Xiao Jin had seen it with his own eyes.
Yes, after leaving the prison island, Xiao Jin could only go in one direction, and that was the city.
I thought there would be many snow beasts roaming on the road, but when I stepped into the inland area of Y City, Xiao Jin had not encountered a single snow beast.
Such anomaly caught Xiao Jin's attention. She decisively followed the traces on the ground and saw snow beasts gathering from all directions.
As he didn't want to alert the enemy, Xiao Jin didn't get too close.
I just stood far away and took a look through a telescope.
Then she saw that the streets and alleys in the city center were all occupied by snow beasts. They were arranged according to their levels, and the higher the level, the further forward they went.
At the very center of the snow beast is a giant snow-white cocoon.
The first second he saw the cocoon, Xiao Jin had a flash of murderous intent in his mind. This must be the final level 6 snow beast, and the king of all snow beasts.
If you kill it, the game might end early.
But this murderous intent only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
Xiao Jin was not a reckless man, and there was no way she could kill the king of the thousands of snow beasts. If she insisted on doing so, she would be the only one to die.
Although it is a pity, looking at the appearance of this Snow Beast King, I am afraid that it is not yet fully born, and this is the best time to kill it.
Then Xiao Jin thought of something.
So, did these snow beasts gather here automatically because of the king's call or was it a spontaneous protective action?
Moreover, what will they do when their king breaks out of the cocoon?
It's not hard to guess.
After being born, it is natural to eat and absorb nutrients to grow stronger!
There is no one left in Y City now, let alone humans. I am afraid there is not even an animal left. If the Snow Beast King wants to replenish enough nutrition immediately, he can either eat humans or devour his own kind.
The shelter was far from the city, so in the short term, it was safer to devour its own kind. Once it had absorbed enough flesh and blood, the Snow Beast King could go looking for humans again.
After thinking it all through, Xiao Jin rushed back without stopping.
They must find a way to fight the Snow Beast King during the time it breaks out of its cocoon and accepts sacrifices from its own kind.
The surroundings were unusually quiet, and the air seemed to be filled with a suffocating feeling.
Jian Yiqiu's body was a little stiff, not sure if it was because of the cold or because he was shocked by Xiao Jin's words.
After a while, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "So blowing up the bridge is what you wanted?"
Xiao Jin crossed his arms and said, "Not only do I want to blow up the bridge, I also want to break the ice around the island."
"You want to use this to block other snow beasts from getting to the island?"
"That's right!" Xiao Jin nodded: "We don't know what the Snow Beast King looks like, so let's put it aside for now. I've calculated that there are tens of thousands of snow beasts in City Y.
Even if a large part of them are sacrificed to the Snow Beast King, the rest will still be a big trouble for us.
Besides..." Xiao Jin raised his eyes: "The temperature outside is expected to drop to more than minus 90 degrees tomorrow. Can your people still move up there?"
Xiao Jin's words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head, and Jian Yiqiu's expression became very ugly.
Not to mention moving around on the ground, just surviving in the black tower has become a difficult task.
Gao Ya also rubbed her fingers subconsciously.
In fact, it's not just the indigenous people. It's also difficult for players to persist even with protective clothing.
So tomorrow, they either had to fight quickly and kill the Snow Beast King, or try every possible means to hold on to the Black Tower and drag it out until the end of the game.
