Now that we were halfway up the mountain, we had already walked a long way from the north side of the mountain. Xiaomao and Catfish, especially, had it the hardest. Everyone found a clean place and formed a circle. What were we going to do? Have a picnic, of course. It was already very difficult to find such a place in the real world. Xiaomao was going to show off his skills this time. In order to make it more meaningful, everyone decided not to use magic but firewood. Fortunately, there were small bushes everywhere. Of course, the men were in charge of doing the rough work. The ladies were in charge of cleaning and washing the food items. Xiaomao prepared a lot of food and also Golden Fruit Wine. This was our signature wine, brewed with the most delicious Golden Fruit. (Golden Fruit, the most delicious fruit produced in scarcity in Yan Huang City. The wine brewed with it is worth 100 gold coins per bottle in the market.) Originally, I wanted to show off the power of my fire-element magic, but after I burned four breeze-dried chickens, I gave up on this unwise move under the angry gazes of the surrounding people.
"Boss, your fireball isn't as useful as my flame, haha." Xiaomao naturally couldn't give up this rare opportunity.
Sigh, this kid is kicking me when I'm down again. Fortunately, I can settle the score later, hehe.
Everyone was eating happily. Ah? Why did the sky turn dark? When we looked up, we saw a group of Vampire Bats. We had been too careless just now and did not pay attention to scouting.
"Be careful, everyone. Get ready for battle." I looked up at these disgusting creatures. We were surrounded in the middle and couldn't form a good offensive and defensive formation.
"Hubby, these guys are so ugly. My rabbit baby is still the cutest." Babe had always been interested in large and cool monsters as well as small and cute ones. She hated ugly and scary monsters the most.
"Wait, these Vampire Bats only attack moving creatures. Don't move now. They might just pass over in a while." Dumbo was the one who spoke. He was really knowledgeable about these strange things. Sure enough, after a while, these creatures dispersed when they couldn't find a target. We also heaved a sigh of relief. The monsters here were fiercer and liked to form groups. Troublesome!
"No, these guys messed up our picnic. We must raid their nest later. Hmph!" Xin Xin pouted, looking very, very angry. I saw that one of the chicken feet she had just snatched had fallen to the ground.
"Xin Xin, don't tell me you want to avenge your chicken feet, haha." Everyone burst into laughter, and she ran behind Xin Qing in embarrassment. "Sister, look at them bullying me." Looking at the fierce expressions of the girls, ah? It seemed that they were the ones laughing the most fiercely just now. We had no choice but to compromise, since we were the gentlemen.
"Ahead is the Demonized Green Bull's territory. Everyone, be careful." The Demonized Green Bull's attack and defense speed were average. With a certain chance of deranged magical attacks, it could only be described as a cockroach.
Ah? What greeted our eyes was a beautiful valley. The strange thing was that this place was strangely quiet. The bulls that should have come out in groups to hunt for food were gone. Could it be that they had the habit of taking a rest during their lunch break now? Catfish and Xiao Mao went to scout for a long while before they came back with the conclusion that the bull monsters had either moved or were playing hide-and-seek.
Since there were no monsters to fight, we could only continue walking upwards. The higher we went, the quieter it became. There were only a few stray cats that got lost occasionally, so how could they be enough for us to kill? Since we came up, we had not even use up much ammunition from the start. For some reason, I felt that something big was about to happen. We were almost at the peak of the mountain. Wait, the forest on the left seemed to have some swishing sounds. We went over to take a look.
Ah~~~~, the wind is tight, whoosh!!! The group of us ran towards the peak of the mountain, followed by a large group of densely packed monsters: Demonized Green Bulls, Centaurs, Hungry Ghosts, Three-Headed Hellhounds, and plates of Medusas. They might be having a meal in the forest today, or were they having a meeting? It was a miracle that enemies like Centaurs and Hungry Ghosts could live in harmony.
"Stop!" Xiaomao shouted. They did not follow us. We turned around and saw the monsters wandering behind us, as if they were afraid of something and did not dare to move forward.
"Dumbo, are there Boss-level monsters on Crystal Mountain? Do you think they are afraid of the things on the mountain peak?" Xin Luo asked curiously.
"Theoretically, no." Dumbo scratched his head.
"What do you mean theoretically? If there is, then there is. If there isn't, then there isn't!" The one who spoke was our serious beauty, Xin Meng.
"Well, here's the thing. There's no Boss on the crystal mountain itself, but it's close to Kunlun. In addition, the Second World operates on its own. I wonder if a monster would run down from Kunlun and occupy the mountain as its king?" Dumbo shook his head as he analyzed.
"En, no matter what kind of monster it is, to be able to make them so afraid, it definitely isn't simple. However, since we've come to this treasure mountain, how can we return empty-handed? Everyone, let us go up and take a look!"
Wow, that's the amethyst mining area up there. It's a fairytale world. Ah, Xiaomao and Dumbo, crawl away. Don't say that you know us. I'm dizzy. The two of them actually hugged a crystal pillar and touched it crazily. It seemed that if I hadn't stopped them, they would lick it.
There seemed to be a door in the middle of the amethyst mine. Could this be the lair of a certain monster?
"Dumbo, you guys can excavate the mine here first. Snow, Xin Qing, you guys stay here and help them guard and take care of Babe and Destiny. If you encounter a strong enemy, run quickly. Double Fools, Catfish, and I will go in and take a look." Although we did not know what was inside, we could not let everyone take the risk.
