Chapter 145: Ice-Making Crocs Machine

[You’ve got experience points...+60.]

[You’ve got +60 copper coins.]

[You’ve got Fish Meat...+6 kg.]

[You’ve got white-quality dagger...]

He set his table and chopping board, bowls, plates, seasonings.

His assistant who was banned from cooking took over her job in fanning the stove with her right hand and drinking the 5th Happy Fat Water with her left hand.

"You’ll get toothache, diabetes, gall bladder problems from drinking Cola too much." Long Haoran remarked out of the blue while slicing the fish meat into strips. Although his tone was without warmth, if one was sensitive enough, they could detect a tiny hint of concern that even the speaker wasn’t aware of.

"I haven’t drunk this for a long time. It’s okay to indulge in it for once. This is the last can I promised." Li Chunhua replied before finishing the can. After the fire was raging she leaned against the tree and checked on Player Hua.

Long Haoran didn’t talk anymore about the cola, seeing Li Chunhua stubborn.

[Little Baozi]: I’ll sell water for copper coins. 5 copper per a liter. 25 copper coins for a barrel. But the players will be one producing the containers.

On the other side, Hua whose back dress was drenched with sweat from the high temperature was shocked by the prices.

[Player Hua]: This is too low. Why not exchange for something else like food and ores?

[Little Baozi]: I badly needed copper coins for now.

[Player Hua]: I understand. Should I post it now?

Hua was sensible and didn’t insist anymore.

[Little Baozi]: I’m outside. Remind me around 3 pm.

[Player Hua]: Got it.

Player Hua closed the chat box and after a few seconds later, she received a notification.

[You’ve got a bottle of water (500 ml)...+10]

[You’ve got a gallon of water...+5]

Her heart quickened its pace and told her husband of the water she received, who was working with the natives in building a cellar. It was the solution suggested in the global chat, in case temperature will continue to rise.

The lunch was soon done and Li Chunhua scrambled to her feet eyeing the table full of food. Deep fried fish strips with sauce, sautéed leafy vegetable, the milky bread, and a pot of spicy fish soup.

Li Chunhua ate them heartily never knowing that in several parts of Forbidden Zone, because of her that the elders of the clan which population was suddenly reduced by more than fifty percent, decided to step out from their resting caves because of their juniors’ calls for help.

A crocodile monster whose size was bigger than two-story house and long as 30 meters crawled out of the cave slowly. His skin was shining in silver like a thick armor with incredible defense covering his flesh. Rocks from the cave ceiling fall and crash on the cave’s floor, with every movement it made.

The juniors trembled and lowered their heads in submission.

The Elder’s golden slits narrowed before opening its mouth. "What is it?"

If players would be here and witness it speaking, they would be astounded because it can speak human language!

[Silver-Back Raptor Level 30 (Hidden Boss)- HP: 56,000/56,000]

"Roar." (Ancestor, there are two brazen humans that audaciously killed thousands of the silver-back raptors.)

The hidden boss’ eyes shone with intelligence and replied. "Just two humans and you’re not able to deal with them? When did my clan became so weak?"

"Roar." (We are not weak. It’s just the two humans were too powerful! One was killing with its bare hands while the other was smashing heads with a circular thing. Ancestor...)

The croc burst into white light after it was crushed by a huge silver webbed-feet and the white light entered the hidden boss’ body, increasing its experience points.

In the process, one could see a faint red mist oozing out while it digested the light energy. It was only for a split second but if Li Chunhua was here, she would recognize what it was and would connect its ability to speak with that red mist.

The other junior silver back raptors cowered in fear making the hidden boss snort in disgust. After a minute, four more white lights entered the boss’ body.

It closed it eyes for a few seconds before letting out a low roar.

More crocs appeared and bowed their heads, shivering, "Roar." (Ancestor, what do you want us to do?)

"I’ll bestow you a percent of my power temporarily. Eliminate the two daring humans." The hidden boss opened its mouth and red mist enveloped five of the crocs, evolving them to level 15 immediately. Their skin became tougher, their size increased by several times. There was a layer of frost forming over their scaled and puffs of white mist oozed out of their nostrils.

[Mutant Ice Silver Back Raptors- Level 15 (HP: 3500/3500)]

"Roar." (Thank you Ancestor.)

The hidden boss crawled back inside and the newly-promoted crocs smugly marched towards their graves...I mean their foes.

Li Chunhua and Long Haoran had finished their lunch and started searching monsters.

"Where are they?" Li Chunhua scratched her head, turning over huge rock formations and throwing huge rocks on the green swamp, thinking that the crocs were hiding in it.

"I think they left." Long Haoran’s eyes darted from the swamp that was used to be filled with those silver porky crawlies to the traces of webbed-print marks on the muddy ground heading towards the dark forest ahead.

"That’s a bummer. I’m still short of coins." Li Chunhua was disappointed.

Long Haoran didn’t comment. In the entirety of the game, she was the only one who casually treated the monsters as a bank vomiting endless money.

All of a sudden, the ground beneath their feet shook and five loud thundering roars reverberated from the forest entered their ears.

Huge shadows were cast on the trees and one could hear something pierced the air and shot towards them.

Long Haoran sidestepped to dodge the attacks. He could see white shards emitting coldness brushed past his shoulder.

Meanwhile, Li Chunhua was hit in the arm and chest, tickling her. The ice thorns crumbled into tiny bits and landed on the muddy ground.

Li Chunhua looked down and her eyes widened a little after seeing the ice on the ground. She picked a section of it and after making sure, that they were ice, she was excited.

Ice!

When Long Haoran turned back, he saw five prompts [Mutant Ice silver Back Raptor Level 15]. Without hesitation, he grabbed the woman’s right wrist before whispering in a low voice, "Let’s retreat."

"Roar!" The five roared and swiftly crawled towards them.

Seeing they were closing the distance, Long Haoran wasted no time and dragged her. But it seems like bolts were attached on Li Chunhua’s feet, Long Haoran couldn’t make her move a tiny inch.

I give up. "..."

Since he couldn’t drag her to safety, he readied himself for a fight.

He was expecting a big fight but in the next minute, five crocs badly injured from someone’s beatings were being used as free laborers to make ices.

"Make some more!" Li Chunhua commanded and when one didn’t obey and was slow, they received a smack of their lifetime making them reflect the value of being contented inside their shallow caves.

"Roar."

"Roar."

The crocs cried from fear and weakness. Each time they cast a spell, their mana was reduced.

Ancestor, please help us!

Basketball-sized ices dropped on the barrel Li Chunhua borrowed from Long Haoran. The ice-making machines/ mutant ice crocs continued the operation until ten minutes when the crocs changed back into their original forms and sprawled weakly on the ground because of mana overdraft.

"Eh? That’s it?" Li Chunhua’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction and nudged the crocs with her finger which she soon regretted.

[You’ve got 2500 copper coins.]

[You’ve got 8750 experience points.]

[You’ve got Silver Back Raptor Meat...+25 kg.]

[You’ve got a map of the Ice Mutant Silver Back Raptor’s Hidden Lair.]

Li Chunhua’s eyes lit up at the map.

（⊙ｏ⊙)!

There’s another ice-making machine!

Long Haoran calmly accepted the scenes in his mind, being used to it already.

Suddenly, the two heard a series of cries and it wasn’t from a monster but from humans.

Long Haoran gazed at the direction of the creek.

Near the creek, Meng Chu and his teammates were shocked to see a huge monkey boss. It opened its mouth and spoke, "Did any of you knew of the two human trespassers?"
