Chapter 64: Sacrifice (1/2)

The platform drifted to the end.

By the time it did, Michu and Sandra were already all covered with coldness. Their hugging position was frozen and their hairs turned into icicles. Michu's snot was also... kinda hanging.

Yakuzan had been faring well, though! His body was covered in ice too, but the same went for Venomous who stood at the helm all this time.

Thus, it was just given to all of them to end it in such a state.

However, ice around Venomous' body shook and shattered into a thousand pieces after the platform had stopped. She also didn't need to stretch as her feet were first to step on the new land.

”Uhu.” Yakuzan yanked Michu out of the coldness, slapped the frozen snot away, then helped the monke take the first step onto the new land too.

In a few minutes, everyone was on their legs. Moving around the new land, Michu commented, ”It's like a new world!” The ceiling couldn't be spotted.

There were also a lot of 'icebergs' scattered around them. On this blue land, players were left with more questions than answers. For many, it was an absurd thing as the game system should long ago give them directions.

Michu's party didn't lack such people to complain, ”I think I will join Realism Haters on the forum soon.” Sandra half-joked, but it leaned more toward the serious side. She hated that after so many days and hard work in the snowy land, their party was forced to go through another mystery.

What should they do now? Wait for players?

”Quiet...” Venomous abruptly raised her hand and gestured others to stop. Her eyes hovered on the party who wore the same expression, distorted in exhaustion and hatred. Clearly, all of them were fed up with this quest too.

The question was... for how many months had they been logging in to this place? Just imagining such gameplay brought displeasure to Sandra's heart! The witch whispered to Venomous, ”We can't possibly ask them, can we?”

”Even if they were in a different mood, I wouldn't go for it.” Venomous replied, ”It doesn't look like they are aimlessly wandering here, so it's best to follow them. Monkey Scum.” The green eyes flew to the monkey baby.

The Monkey God clicked his tongue, then climbed up onto Michu's head, ”I will keep an eye on them.” The Monkey God's will had strong senses, his eyes were built with binocs.

Due to KongFu, the party could keep a safe distance from those players while keeping an eye on their surroundings. The Monkey God's hands used Michu's hair to control his movement while his old eyes glued to the party.

After an hour of walking, one of the followed dudes shouted, ”I am done with this shit! It's sacrifice! Who?! Who is going to sacrifice?!”

”You! You're the one who will sacrifice! For fuck sake! I told everyone to keep quiet about it! Why do you have to bring it up!?” The party leader howled in response.

Indeed.

The sacrifice was the last trail here. To go to the next and the last stage which was The Ice Tomb's Vault, the players had to sacrifice someone! Not everyone could be sacrificed, so players looked out for other visitors!

But those, who had reached so far here, were overly cautious. If there was even a hint of loss, they would turn heels and run as far as possible. This last trial had thwarted so many plans and destroyed so many friendships and even relationships that if the real world were to hear about it, no one would believe it.
