273: Chapter 273 Treasure Land 43

Luo Yuejian immediately shifted her target to the last player.

In the memories of her brief time with the Doctor with a low ponytail, she belonged to the type that was quite intelligent but also very low-key.

This type of person is most likely to be a cunning schemer.

If the exquisite little box, which was obviously an important item at a glance, ended up in her hands, wouldn't that be like throwing a meat bun at a dog—never to return?

There was a high probability that the other party wouldn't come to save her even if she saw her in trouble.

That was perfect. This was exactly the kind of talent the game needed!

To ensure that the other party wouldn't casually take out this item to use for her, Luo Yuejian forced herself to instruct, "Use it at a critical moment."

Luo Yuejian clearly meant for the Doctor with a low ponytail to keep this little box filled with Sichuan peppercorns and star anise safe, and to use it on her when the critical moment arrived.

Of course, it would be best if this little box was never taken out again afterward.

However, the Doctor with a low ponytail, having received the exquisite little box handed to her by Luo Yuejian, frowned slightly.

Why would the White-haired Girl opposite her give her such an important item?

From beginning to end, she and this White-haired Girl had no direct interaction; why would the other party suddenly do this?

The Doctor with a low ponytail was even a bit wary for a moment, not daring to take the little box.

She certainly didn't think it was because Luo Yuejian trusted her or was being kind that she handed her the exquisite little box.

However, Luo Yuejian's movements were too fast, and her strength was great; unless she threw away the exquisite little box that was already in her hands, she had absolutely no room to refuse.

Of course, she was definitely unwilling to throw away such an important item.

After all, at a critical moment, this thing might very well save her life.

And it was at this moment that she heard the White-haired Girl whisper the words: "Use it at a critical moment."

The Doctor with a low ponytail's brows couldn't help but furrow deeper; what was a critical moment? What counted as critical? The White-haired Girl opposite her was being vague, so how was she supposed to judge?

However, before she could ask more, she met the White-haired Girl's heart-trembling eyes.

All her words were stuck in her throat.

At the same time, she heard the White-haired Girl's voice: "I need to rush in."

Excluding all obstacles that could hinder her from courting death, Luo Yuejian's sanity was already minimal; her mind was filled with the desire to drink the black liquid, and she murmured, "Need to rush in..."

The other two players also heard Luo Yuejian's voice at this moment and subconsciously cast their gaze toward her. When their eyes met, an inexplicable chill crept into their hearts.

Because at this moment, it was as if frost had condensed in the White-haired Girl's eyes. The way she looked at them didn't seem like she was looking at three players; her eyes were empty.

She lowered the hand that was originally holding the metal fire starter, her entire posture resembling someone holding a blade.

She turned around expressionlessly and walked toward the extra secret passage.

Her appearance made the other three players immediately understand that this White-haired Girl wanted to rush directly to the very end of that secret passage.

They were all shocked for a moment, unable to believe that this White-haired Girl was so confident in her own strength.

They had just been chased by those Mutated Mandrills for real; the strength and speed of that group were several times stronger than those ordinary mandrills in the forest outside.

Wanting to carve a bloody path directly through was truly too difficult.

But the White-haired Girl had already walked forward step by step, and judging from what she had just said, it seemed she had a reason why she had to enter the very depths of the secret passage.

The three players looked at each other, and finally, the Plump Boss gritted his teeth and said, "Let's follow and take a look first. If the situation looks bad, we'll leave."

Luo Yuejian crept along the damp stone wall, the fire starter in her hand casting a shadow on the ground. The surface of the metal rod glinted coldly.

The black-furred monster closest to the outer edge of the passage was facing away from her, its rough claws scratching at the ground, emitting a low hiss. It seemed very anxious to rush to the front, constantly pushing forward.

Luo Yuejian's expression, however, was incomparably calm. A silver light flashed in her hand, and the Infinite Card appeared.

The ability of this Infinite Card was—Freeze.

As Luo Yuejian's hand holding the Infinite Card brushed over the metal rod, the flaming metal rod was covered in frost inch by inch, and even the flame wrapped in the metal petals at the tip was frozen in that instant.

One could even see the frozen flame inside from the outside. This was a completely inhuman ability that could not be judged by common sense.

At this moment, with the help of the Freeze ability, this metal rod turned into an ice spike with an incredibly sharp tip.

Piercing into the back of the first monster's neck from bottom to top, Luo Yuejian twisted her wrist, and the blade crushed its spine. The Mutated Mandrill collapsed silently.

The second one had just noticed something amiss when the blade tip pierced in from behind its ear, going straight into its brain. The third one turned around abruptly, but Luo Yuejian slashed its throat with the blade, and foul blood sprayed out.

A thick, bloody stench permeated the passage, making one nauseous. More and more black-furred monsters in front smelled this bloody scent, suddenly stopped, their black noses twitching, and then they whipped their heads around.

In the darkness, their scarlet eyes glinted with an eerie light, and the few Mutated Mandrills at the very front locked onto Luo Yuejian.

But unfortunately, because this secret passage was far too narrow, it simply couldn't accommodate so many monsters rushing over to tear Luo Yuejian apart at once; they could only fight 1v1.

For Luo Yuejian, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

Luo Yuejian advanced instead of retreating, the sharp ice spike in her hand slashing diagonally, severing the forelimbs of the first monster that rushed over. The monster let out a shrill scream, and blood sprayed out like a fountain.

But this did not make the other monsters retreat; another one had already leaped over, opening its bloody maw to reveal sharp fangs, pouncing straight at Luo Yuejian.

Luo Yuejian nimbly ducked and dodged, easily avoiding the fatal pounce. She seized the opportunity to backhand a slash, accurately piercing through the monster's chest.

Every swing of the blade brought up a spray of black blood.

A Mutated Mandrill disregarded its own injuries and fought with its life; the pressure caused by such a terrifyingly powerful monster fighting to the death could be imagined. In a moment of inattention, a sharp claw grazed Luo Yuejian's shoulder, leaving a bloody gash.

She didn't even furrow her brow; her facial expression seemed exceptionally icy as she spun and beheaded the monster.

Corpses piled up at her feet, and blood soaked into the stone crevices.

The three players following behind Luo Yuejian: ?
