Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 203 - 195: The Yeti Public Enemy?

A trail of fire erupted from the Fishbone Arrow streaking through the air, making it not only faster but also far more imposing.

"Boom!"

The Fishbone Fire Arrow exploded instantly near the four snowmen!

The shattered fragments formed a spherical blast zone in mid-air, peppering the cliff wall and the four snowmen densely.

"Swish swish swish"

[Laceration]×N

The words "Laceration" bubbled up over their heads continuously.

Every single fragment of the Fishbone Arrow carried a laceration effect.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

Every fragment embedded in the snowmen wasn’t their usual bone-white anymore.

But fiery red.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle"

The searing shards of Fishbone Arrow emitted a tooth-grinding sound as they scorched the snowmen’s bodies.

It took five to six seconds for the residual heat in the fragments to finally dissipate, leaving them a dry black color.

After this round of fiery arrow explosions, the four snowmen looked like they’d gone through full-body liposuction, with their size reduced by two-thirds.

Unfortunately, they weren’t at all appreciative of their "slimmed-down" figures, clutching chunks of broken ice from the ground as they charged at Han Qiwu.

"The effect of this Firework Ring is just too awesome!" Han Qiwu exclaimed in amazement at his handiwork.

Perfect counter against snowmen!

It seemed like today was going to be a lucrative day.

Treasure chest, here I come!

Drawing his finely crafted Longsword, Han Qiwu slashed his way toward the four miniature snowmen.

"Swish swish swish"

With a flurry of swift moves, Han Qiwu obtained [Snowman Essence]×2 and [Snow Amber]×2.

Satisfying!

An hour and a half later.

With the Firework Ring in hand, Han Qiwu’s progress sped up significantly, and he quickly reached the fifty-fourth floor of the mine.

"Snowman Captain! I’m sending you back home today."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Before Han Qiwu could even fire his mysterious Crossbow Arrow, the Snowman Captain hurled ten chunks of old ice at him in quick succession.

The simplest way to improve hit accuracy? Increase your barrage.

How true that was.

Although Han Qiwu didn’t move a muscle, the Snowman Captain had unusually good luck this time—one chunk of old ice came hurtling toward Han Qiwu at such speed that he couldn’t dodge in time.

"Thud"

[HP -16]

"So strong? Three hits and I’m done for!" Han Qiwu hurriedly pulled out a Paralyzing Thorn Shield to block, raising his arm to fire the mysterious Crossbow Arrow.

[Armor Break]

What a shame—it didn’t trigger the Firework Ring’s special effect.

"I’d better deal with the Snowman Elites first." Han Qiwu muttered as he ran, manually reloading the Fishbone Arrows.

"Clap clap"

At that moment, the Snowman Captain clapped its hands and called out twice to the nearby Snowman Elites.

Following orders, the Snowman Elites charged toward Han Qiwu without hesitation.

What Han Qiwu didn’t expect was that the Elites were moving much faster than before.

"Something’s not right." Drawing on his experience, Han Qiwu quickly checked his status bar.

Just as expected.

[Snowman Nemesis: Snowmen gain a 40% movement speed boost when charging at the nemesis. The Snowman Captain gains a 30% increased hit rate when throwing projectiles at the nemesis. Effect lasts ten minutes and stacks up to 3 times.]

So careless.

This Snowman Nemesis effect was absolutely disgusting.

The speed boost was one thing, but boosting the Snowman Captain’s projectile hit rate—and stacking?!

If three projectiles hit in a row, the next thirty minutes would be a nightmare.

No wonder the Snowman Captain was in charge.

It really was something else.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Four Snowman Elites, swift as the wind, rapidly closed the gap to Han Qiwu.

"Xiao Lai, stall the one closest to me." Han Qiwu spun sharply, raised his Crossbow, and fired a shot at the leading Snowman Elite as his momentum carried him forward on the ice.

[Armor Break]!

"That was a pretty slick move," Han Qiwu remarked as he turned around to continue running forward.

He had envisioned this sequence countless times in his head. Not only was it stylish; it was highly effective in combat.

As long as he aligned his crosshair with the center of his view before spinning, he could shoot the enemy accurately within moments of turning.

Unlike bows, crossbows had minimal parabolic drop, which ensured high accuracy over short distances.

But the real key to this maneuver was Han Qiwu’s extraordinary reflexes and coordination.

Perched on his shoulder, Xiao Lai puffed out its tiny cheeks and spit out four consecutive blobs of venom at the Snowman Elites, noticeably slowing their pace.

"Good job." Han Qiwu praised Xiao Lai, further widening the distance between him and his pursuers as he waited for his Crossbow’s cooldown to complete.

Just then, the Snowman Captain slid into the same corridor as Han Qiwu and hurled another four or five chunks of ice his way.

"Trying to ambush me?" Han Qiwu veered sharply into an adjacent passage while raising his right hand, charging up his Explosive Fireball.

All this time, he had been holding back on this skill just for the Snowman Captain’s grand sendoff!

Three seconds of charging later, a blazing orange-red fireball about 60 centimeters in diameter materialized in Han Qiwu’s palm. Sparks crackled on its unstable surface, occasionally spitting out black specks.

"Take this!"

Han Qiwu flung the fireball over his shoulder with all his might. Initially, it traveled at the exact velocity of his throw.

"Boom boom boom"

Before it even reached the Snowman Captain, the fireball detonated mid-air after traveling only four or five meters.

Instantly, the passage erupted in chaos like a Lunar New Year celebration.

To put it simply.

It felt like 100 firecrackers detonating inside a bedroom.

The explosion’s shockwave even chipped 6 HP off Han Qiwu.

"Just as unreliable as a cluster grenade!" Han Qiwu muttered, relieved at his quick reactions. If the fireball had gone off in his hand, it would’ve been a real disaster.

Damn first-time jinxes.

"Huff huff huff"

Two snowmen emerged from the explosion site, dutifully continuing their charge toward Han Qiwu.

This time, however, they were charred black, as if they had been sculpted from smog-filled snow.

"The other two were killed by the blast?" Han Qiwu was a bit shocked. The effect was ridiculously powerful.

And that was just from a premature detonation.

If the timing had been perfect and the fireball struck directly, wouldn’t it have wiped them all out in one go?

As Han Qiwu circled back to collect the drops, he checked the cooldown on the fireball’s fiery effect.

[Firework Ring Special Effect – Fireburst Cooldown: 600s]

Ten minutes—not bad, considering its destructive potential.

Snowman Captain, your days are numbered!

After two laps, Han Qiwu returned to the explosion site. As soon as he arrived, a glowing component of snow armor caught his eye.

[Snow Armor Component III]

[Incomplete, cannot be equipped]

[Base Attributes Unlocked (2/2)]

[Base Attribute: Immunity to heat damage from movement] fгeewebnovёl.com

[Upgraded Attributes Locked (3/4)]

[Note: The most crucial part of the Snow Armor is the Snowman’s Heart]

Success was within reach!

Ignoring the annoying note, Han Qiwu was brimming with excitement.

Finally, he had new gear.

Come to think of it, would wearing the Snow Armor leave the Eye of Xingtian feeling icy cold?
