Chapter 122 completion progress: 17
The moment Mo Ting jumped into the ice, his gaze met Scarlett's.

Scarlett was clinging to an ice wall, holding a knife in each hand with the blades deeply embedded in the ice to stabilize herself and prevent herself from falling.

Just now, at the last second, Scarlett was almost taken away by the snow beetle.

Just as the ice sheet was about to sink into the bottomless lake, she spread her wings and took flight. Unfortunately, she wasn't skilled enough to fly completely out and could only stop on the protruding ice wall, slowly climbing out.

The group of snow beetles carried the ice sheet into the lake and never reappeared.

Scarlett is now out of danger for the time being.

She gripped the knife handle tightly, extended one foot, and slowly felt along the nearby ice wall with her toes, searching for a foothold.

suddenly.

She encountered a hard, protruding spot, stepped on it firmly, found it stable and suitable for stepping on, and immediately stepped on it.

He pulled out the stick knife with his right hand and inserted it into the higher crevice.

Scarlett.

Halfway through her action, Scarlett suddenly heard a nonchalant voice.

The suddenness of the attack startled her, causing her to miss the gap by an inch. Her aim faltered, and the tip of the knife left a white mark on the solid ice wall.

Scarlett swayed as a result, trembling and almost falling.

"Oh my god, oh my god!"

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

"There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me!"

It took Scarlett a full half minute to regain her balance, still muttering to herself. Once she was on her feet, her curiosity piqued, she looked toward the source of the sound.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

She was standing on a black, human head!

Scarlett was immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. Her legs went weak, and she wanted to pull her foot back, but there was no better place to put it. She felt guilty about leaving it there.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he chuckled awkwardly and asked, "Excuse me, sir, who are you?"

It doesn't look like a snow beetle; it's probably a person.

Mo Ting calmly took a breath.

He had just jumped down into the ice hole to save Scarlett, only to find that Scarlett was already safe and was climbing up the ice wall.

He flipped over and leaped, his hands transforming into sharp claws, hooking onto the ice wall to prevent himself from falling.

Scarlett's back view was timid and unsteady, strangely comical, and not at all like her usual shrewish and ruthless self.

He hid in the shadows and observed for a few seconds, a sense of joy inexplicably creeping into his heart.

Scarlett was disappointed, and he was very happy.

However, not wanting to delay the game for too long, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew towards Scarlett, intending to take her out.

At the same time, Scarlett's foot landed, stepping on his head.

Mo Ting: "..."

Upon hearing Scarlett's question, Mo Ting removed his mask, indifferently raised his head, and met Scarlett's gaze with a sharp look mixed with the chill of the ice cave in the dark, azure ice.

That one glance nearly killed Scarlett.

She shouted, "Mo Ting!!!!"

That tone was no different from shouting, "A ghost!!!!"

this moment.

Scarlett's exhaustion vanished, and her survival instincts were fiercely activated. She stomped on Mo Ting's face and kicked him upwards with all her might.

Two sticks were frantically plunged into the crevices of the ice wall, and her feet were also frantically searching for footholds, climbing left and right without stopping.

She was originally some distance from the entrance of the ice cave, but as her adrenaline surged, that distance became a piece of cake in her eyes. Before long, she had climbed out of that damned ice cave that had terrified her.

Scarlett.

When Brian saw Scarlett emerge from the ice cave again, he was overjoyed and went to help her.

Scarlett got up with his help. "Quick, quick, let's go! It's too, too scary!"

Mo Ting killed her and drove her into the ice cave.

What a deep grudge! Quick, let's go, she doesn't want to see him.

Brian assumed Scarlett was startled and simply said "Oh." Although he had many questions in his mind, he still followed her.

It was his carelessness that allowed the snow beetles to take advantage of Scarlett.

It definitely won’t happen this time!
He will protect her well.

Mo Ting then jumped out of the ice cave, brushed off the remaining snow from his body, and stared silently at Scarlett's back.

Riley and Dzeko exchanged a glance.

Everything was understood without words; he stepped toward Scarlett.

……

……

"Hey Scarlett, there seems to be something in your hair."

Halfway there, Brian discovered something incredible: Scarlett had a piece of mineral hidden in her hair.

He took it off and showed it to Scarlett, "Look."

The ore is about the size of a thumb, pure black, and smooth. Under strong light, it displays colorful rings of deep blue, purplish-red, dark green, and rust red.

In the middle is a black vertical stripe that looks like an animal's eye.

Scarlett thought the ring pattern was beautiful, as vibrant as a rainbow. She held it in her hand, admiring it slowly, when suddenly a thought struck her. She turned to Riley and asked, "Riley, is this a breakthrough ore?"

Riley glanced at it and nodded, saying, "This is dragon crystal."

Dragon crystal, also known as obsidian, is a naturally formed black mineral.

There are many kinds.

Scarlett's gem is a rainbow-eyed dragon crystal.

Scarlett's eyes lit up when she heard it was a pass-through ore. "Is this one real?"

Riley said, "Really."

Rainbow eye dragon crystal is relatively rare, cannot be faked, and is easy to identify.

Scarlett's eyes lit up even more, her small face under the mask radiating energy as she hurriedly verified the dragon crystal.

[Verification successful!]
[Clearance progress: 1/7]
It really is true!
She stood next to Riley and continued talking to him: "Riley, do you think my obtaining the Dragon Crystal might be related to my encounter with the Snow Beetle?"

Otherwise, they would have traveled for so long without encountering a single ore, only to find snow beetle ore as soon as they came across it.

This issue deserves further investigation.

Riley thought about it carefully for a moment, then said, "I don't know either."

He had never participated in a resource competition and didn't know the ins and outs. Furthermore, there were no rules here, so there was no way to quickly find the ore needed to pass the level.

Everything depends on fate.

He really couldn't answer Scarlett's question.

However, Zheko said, "Your Highness, the snow beetles come from the Zerg and should have nothing to do with the resource competition."

"They are the Zerg?" Scarlett asked in surprise.

"Correct."

Zheko said, "The Zerg are different from ordinary insect creatures. They are about the same size as us orcs and usually appear in groups, so we must be careful."

Scarlett nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder they look so big.

Recalling the countless hands that had surged forth, Scarlett felt a lingering fear and clutched her chest, asking, "Were they trying to kill me?"

Zheko's eyes flickered, and his voice sounded somewhat unnatural, "No."

"What was it for?" Scarlett pressed.

Zheko's gaze swept lightly across Scarlett's face. "Procreation."

Scarlett was stunned, and it took her a while to process those two words in her mind. She stared blankly at Zheko and repeated blankly, "Reproduction?"
