Gradually, more and more Icefield Deer gathered from all around.

They gathered around the suspended, fallen objects, examining them curiously.

The monsters showed great confusion at these things they had never seen before.

A smaller ice deer approached a floating carrot and sniffed it.

It stuck out its tongue as if to lick it.

However, no matter how hard it tried, its tongue seemed to pass right through the air and pierced straight through the carrot.

It panicked.

It's right in front of you, you can smell it but you can't eat it?

Undeterred, it tried several more times, even releasing a faint chill towards the carrot in an attempt to freeze and knock it off.

Chapter 32 The Leaky Monster

But the carrot remained unaffected by any physical or magical forces, hovering quietly half a meter above the ground, slowly rotating.

The other deer encountered the same situation, butting and biting at the iron sword and blocks on the ground, but unable to touch them at all.

Chen Xu watched this scene, lost in thought.

"It seems the system's item drop protection mechanism is very strong. These items can only be picked up by players, and natives and monsters cannot interfere at all."

"That makes sense. If we let these monsters pick up the equipment, wouldn't that be like delivering packages to them? Imagine a deer in full armor charging at us, the sight is too beautiful for me to bear."

As the last few Icefield Deer that had been lingering on the outskirts approached out of curiosity, the entire herd had now entered the 20x30 death trap area.

Chen Xu took a deep breath, his finger hovering over the send button.

The time has come.

He typed the pre-edited message heavily in the group chat interface.

[Old Cat: They're here. Make your move. They're right below the corpse of the Peak One.]

Thirty meters underground.

Yang Qinyu, Liu Shenwu, and the other eight people, who had been waiting for the moment, suddenly narrowed their eyes upon seeing the message.

They stood on the nine isolated blocks suspended above the abyss, their shovels swinging down in unison without hesitation, striking the soil above them.

"Click"

On the ground, the fawn that was frantically trying to lick the floating carrot suddenly felt a change in the sensation under its feet.

The once firm grass turned into quicksand, instantly becoming soft and sinking.

Before its simple brain could process the information, a strong sense of weightlessness instantly struck.

"Splash!"

The ground beneath the corpse of the peak-level expert collapsed instantly.

The lead stag, which was venting its anger on the air, was about to ram the helmet that had exploded from its peak when its foreleg slipped into thin air. Before it could even let out a scream, it plunged headfirst into the bottomless darkness.

The other ice deer around them were startled by the huge commotion and raised their heads, thinking it was another trick played by that damned human. They instinctively tried to gather their cold energy to fight back.

But the next second, they were horrified to discover that the ground beneath their feet was also crumbling.

A dozen or so enormous magical beasts, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, helplessly plunged into the abyss amidst a cloud of dust and debris.

Inside the underground space.

Standing helplessly on a suspended block in the corner, having just shoveled the dirt off his head, he saw a snow-white hoof fall down from above, carrying a few clods of dirt.

Next, there was a deer face filled with terror.

"Hey, perfect."

Confused and disoriented, he reacted swiftly, dodging the attack that came from the sky.

He then leaped up and delivered a spinning kick in mid-air, slamming it hard into the rump of the still-unresponsive ice deer.

"Get down."

"Yo!"

The ice deer let out a miserable cry, its center of gravity thrown off balance by the sudden kick. Its four hooves thrashed wildly in the air, but it couldn't find any foothold and could only fall desperately to the bottom of the 30-meter-deep pit below.

The teammates on the surrounding blocks did the same thing.

"Go on."

"Don't block the way."

In an instant, the underground space was filled with the screams of monsters.

However, even the most meticulous plans can have oversights.

Because the group paused for a moment while kicking the deer, the speed at which they were digging the edge of the trap slowed down.

Two ice deer, in excellent positions, used their animal instincts to push off the clods of earth that hadn't completely collapsed just before they fell.

"boom!"

Using the force of this push, they narrowly escaped the trap and landed safely on the grass at the edge of the sinkhole.

Watching their companions vanish in an instant as if struck by divine retribution, the two survivors were terrified and didn't even have the courage to look back. They turned and ran wildly into the depths of the forest.

Chen Xu, who had been staring intently at the battlefield, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Oh no, a monster has escaped."

He didn't bother to hide himself and burst out of the bushes, running and shouting as he went.

"Come on up, two of them have run away. I'll hold them off first, you guys come up and finish them off."

The two fleeing deer, startled by the shouts from their side, ran even faster.

Their hooves flew, kicking up a trail of mud, and they moved at an astonishing speed.

"Trying to run? No way."

Chen Xu gritted his teeth, cut out a set of round stones, and used them to intercept the enemy via a shortcut.

As he ran, he frantically built a two-meter-high stone wall along the path of the Icefield Deer.

"Da da da".

As the round stones continued to fall, a simple defensive line was quickly taking shape.

At the same time, the people underground also heard Chen Xu's shouts.

The joy of celebrating the successful trap vanished instantly.

"Quick! Chase them!"

The group immediately started placing blocks under their feet, like building blocks, to prop themselves up.

As soon as they peeked out, they saw that the two white figures had already spread out to a distance of several dozen meters.

In a panic, he pulled out a wooden bow from his backpack and started firing wildly into the distance.

"Whizzing!"

Unfortunately, untrained archery skills proved ineffective against a moving target, and all the arrows wobbled and stuck into the tree trunks nearby.

"It's over, we can't catch up."

As Chen Xu watched the Icefield Deer draw ever closer, his heart sank.

His stone wall wasn't completely sealed off yet; there was still a gap in the middle.

The two ice deer were incredibly fast, reaching the stone wall in the blink of an eye.

The two deer bent their hind legs slightly, their muscles taut, and then leaped forward.

"call!"

Their silhouettes traced a graceful arc in the air, easily leaping over the two-meter-high stone wall.

After landing, they didn't linger and sped away.

Chen Xu stopped and watched the departing figure disappear into the distance, then angrily threw the round stone in his hand to the ground.

"Damn, that jumping ability is outrageous."

Yang Qinyu and the others who caught up later also looked regretful.

"What a pity, it was just a little short."

"Two are missing. These are two magical beasts!"

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.

Everyone put in so much effort, thinking they could pull off a perfect play, but it still wasn't perfect.

Just when everyone thought the outcome was decided and they could only helplessly accept the result.

Sudden.

"Whoosh!!!"

A loud and high-pitched neighing sound came from the plain behind the group.

The sound was full of power and wildness, instantly piercing through the noisy wind.

What was that sound?

"Horse neighing?"

Everyone instinctively turned around to look.

At the edge of the forest, a white bolt of lightning was hurtling forward at an incredible speed.

As the distance closed, the figure gradually became clearer.

It was a tall, pure white horse with taut muscles, each muscle pulsating with power as it ran.
