Chapter 64 - The Monster's Fall
Chapter 64: The Monster’s Fall
Wei Huo walked west while thinking about his skills. After five months, he arrived at the foot of the huge snowy mountain. Wei Huo could not help but feel emotional as he looked at the towering snowy mountain.
At the foot of the mountain was a meadow. In the middle of the meadow was an empty wasteland filled with snow.
The two lines and three parts of the wasteland were distinct, and the breeze brought a cold aura and a scent of grass over.
There were a few self-exploding sheep on the grassland that would occasionally look up to observe Wei Huo and his group. They were not afraid of Wei Huo and his group, as they would self-destruct after they died.
The self-exploding sheep, which were herbivores, did not have any natural enemies. Hence, they reproduced very quickly and could be seen almost everywhere.
In order to obtain explosives, Wei Huo had hunted them before. However, hunting them was very troublesome. He could only knock them out and not kill them. Otherwise, they would self-destruct. After knocking them out, he would have to use superb skills to retrieve the self-destructing organs in their bodies. Otherwise, once their hearts stopped beating, the self-destructing organ would detonate.
Wei Huo thought to himself, If a Rare or Epic creature appeared among the self-exploding sheep, wouldn’t the explosion be stronger?
Wei Huo put down the cauldron. The cauldron’s three legs sank into the meadow. He planned to camp here for the time being and go to the snowy mountain alone to find the route.
The direction of the west coast was blocked by the huge snowy mountain. One could either take a long detour or climb the mountain. Wei Huo did not want to take a long detour, as it would take too long. Besides, he wanted to climb the mountain to look down on the land.
He had only one purpose for traveling. He wanted to do whatever he wanted and enjoy the scenery.
Wei Huo instructed Wei Sha to camp on the grass while he got dressed and walked up the mountain.
As he stepped onto the snow, the soles of his feet creaked non-stop. The cold wind blew against Wei Huo’s clothes. His clothes were made from a super woven material, and Wei Huo had been taught how to sew by Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi had also taught him many other things. For example, how to cook vegetables, plant cotton, sew clothes, practice health care, and identify herbs.
This knowledge was stored in Wei Huo’s mind. However, Wei Huo did not use it often, so his manufacturing and healing activity levels were not high.
Wei Huo thought of Lu Qiqi as he thought about this knowledge. She had been a special artificial being. She might have had a soul by now if she had not unfortunately died.
No one could escape the erosion of time. Time continued to move forward steadily. Years, centuries, and millennia would pass by very quickly. No matter how long one’s lifespan was, it would eventually come to an end.
Wei Huo kept climbing upward. After a few steps, he felt a vibration under his feet. Wei Huo was shocked, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
He had activated the Massacre Mode!
Everything within 15 meters appeared clearly in his mind. The moment he activated the Massacre Mode, Wei Huo leaped into the air.
A moment later, a white Snow Zerg jumped out of the snow and tried to bite Wei Huo.
Wei Huo scrunched his brows. Lightning surrounded his body as he threw a punch at the head of the Snow Zerg. Lightning exploded and burned the Snow Zerg to ashes.
The huge heat produced by the Lightning Force instantly made the snow under Wei Huo’s feet evaporate. A hot snow pit was blasted out.
Wei Huo’s brows relaxed slightly. However, before he could catch his breath, a frosty breath came from afar.
Lightning surrounded Wei Huo’s body before he was hit by this breath. A mist instantly appeared around him. Wei Huo focused his gaze and saw an Ice Elemental floating in the air. It was surrounded by cracks of ice.
Wei Huo was confused. Why were there so many monsters on this snowy mountain?
Could this snowy mountain be a monster gathering area?
Wei Huo rushed out and threw a punch. The Ice Elemental was shattered into pieces and hit by his Lightning Force. Countless pieces of ice were turned into water vapor.
After killing the two monsters, Wei Huo did not gain any EXP or items.
Why are there so many monsters on this snowy mountain? Plus, the update did not mention these monsters at all. By right, God would say something if new monsters appeared.
Wei Huo was curious, but his priority at the moment was to figure out what was happening on the snowy mountain.
Wei Huo continued moving forward, but it seemed as if he had walked into a pile of monsters. Whenever he took a few steps, he would encounter a Frost Monster. However, the strength of each creature was not high. Wei Huo had a weird feeling about this. I’m farming monsters.
Wei Huo felt as if he had really walked into a game world. Countless monsters were loitering around the snowy mountain. Their shapes were all different, and their only common feature was that they did not have souls. No matter how many of them were killed, one could not obtain Magical Stones.
However, Wei Huo could not obtain any EXP by killing them either. It was reasonable to say that they would not drop anything after their death. That was until… Wei Huo killed an Ice Elemental and an English-language exercise book was suddenly dropped.
Wei Huo was confused.
Why would this English exercise book appear when he was killing monsters?
Wei Huo walked over and picked up the exercise book. On the book were the following words:
‘Name: Li Xiaoyue. Class 122, Year Two.’
Wei Huo was confused. What was this monster? Why did it drop a high school student’s exercise book?
Wei Huo opened the exercise book and saw neat, tidy English words. It was a copybook. English teachers often asked students to write lines in English for homework. Wei Huo saw a few red ticks and an A+ score.
He touched the exercise book and found it cold.
The exercise book must have frozen in the bodies of those monsters not long after the time halt. Due to the low temperature and air isolation, the words on it had not been blurred by the water.
After the monster was killed, it disappeared due to an unknown principle along with the water. That was why the English-language exercise book had been left untouched.
Wei Huo was confused. Had this place once been a school?
Wei Huo killed a few more monsters. The monsters nearby would drop textbooks after they died. Some of them had one, while others had a few. Suddenly, Wei Huo saw a familiar name.
‘Name: Wei Huo. Class 122, Year Two.’
Wei Huo was stunned. Is this the same name? My name is common. It’s not unusual for someone else to have the same name.
This was a huge essay book. Wei Huo flipped it open and saw slightly blurry handwriting. It seemed like something had gone wrong when this book had been frozen. The handwriting was blurred by moisture.
Wei Huo tried to identify it carefully. He could still see the words and the content. However, he could not be sure if the words belonged to him, nor could he be sure that he was the one who had written them, as he could not remember anything.
