### Chapter 278: The Ending of a Little Story
But Little Moon frowned again: “The problem is, what are we blasting it with?”
The Wind God could whip up bombs on a whim, but none of them had that kind of talent here.
“I know!” WZC suddenly shouted, “We’ve still got one more, let’s give it a real bang!”
“Wang Shao! Get a grip! Stop thinking about that! Using it here? You’ve got guts,” Fiery Conflict Across the Sky scolded him.
Ever since they blasted those two before, this guy had been obsessed with the last one.
Every time they argued, he would think about blowing something up.
Fiery Conflict had told him several times, but he’d retorted, “You don’t understand until you’ve tried it. You have no idea how awesome it feels.”
Anyway, with the last bomb in Can’t Sleep’s hands, the three of them wouldn’t use it unless everyone agreed.
“A little bug? Killing it might be tough, but blowing it to bits is pretty simple. Use this.”
With that, Fiery Conflict pulled out… a grenade from his bag.
He had tested this thing before, and the power was, well, mediocre. One wouldn’t instantly take down a regular little monster; they’d need to stab it a few times too.
But as an extra ranged option for melee classes, it wasn’t bad.
It was a pity though; after “Nuclear Bomb Little Sister” became a princess, she closed shop—no more sales and just a little to spare.
“Brothers, pull out your gear!”
The others exchanged amused glances and pulled out their own grenades.
These were the crème de la crème of Huaxia Server players. They had rolled out plenty of goodwill with the “Nuclear Bomb Little Sister,” had their blink skills ready, and naturally had a few gadgets too.
“Little Moon, don’t you have one? I’ll give you mine.”
“No need, I’ll use spells.”
Little Moon started to conjure a fireball.
Under Yuliya’s suggestion, she had joined the Great Fireball Cult.
Bombs can explode, and fireballs can explode too. Round it up, and she was basically the Wind God.
“Alright. Brothers, get ready. Draw that bug out and hit it with a big wave.”
The players started coordinating, picking ten who still had their blink skills and piling together, each holding their grenade tightly.
The others spread out, waiting.
After a bit, suddenly, Little Moon’s ears perked up, and she whispered, “It’s coming.”
Fiery Conflict Across the Sky called out in the chat nearby: “Get ready!”
Everyone held their breath.
In the next second, the ground began to tremble as expected.
Sure enough, this bug had a keen sense, attracted by clustered prey.
But with its IQ, it obviously wouldn’t understand this was a trap meant to lure it in.
It was the prey!
A moment later, the sand heaved up.
“Pull!”
Fiery Conflict shouted.
The giant mouth reappeared.
“Throw! Blink!”
Everyone hurled their grenades in a frenzy.
With a five-meter blast radius, even blindfolded, you couldn’t miss.
The ones in the center let go at the moment of detonation and blinked away.
This time, everyone was mentally prepared; the sandworm naturally missed with its jaws.
Ah, no, it didn’t miss—it snapped up a bunch of little goodies instead.
After one bite, the sandworm continued turning in mid-air, diving back into the sand.
But this time, it had just submerged its head when the center heaved up violently.
Then boom! bl**d and guts flew everywhere.
The sandworm’s momentum faltered, its front half sprawled out on the sand while its back half remained buried.
In the chaos, half of its insides were already splattered, only half still connected.
“Brothers! Finish it off!”
With that command, everyone attacked.
A simple throw toward the ruptured spot yielded fantastic results, draining the sandworm’s health like water from a caught fish.
In mere seconds, the sandworm’s health hit zero, dissolving into dust.
A red crystal, the size of a fist, dropped onto the sand—several times larger than the one the Golden Armored Scorpion dropped.
Along with that, there was a bit of material, though that didn’t matter much.
This battle, players emerged victorious.
From a distance, players from other servers could only stare blankly at the scene—some had been streaming the entire time from the Huaxia Server’s live room.
Every team had their streams on to supervise each other, and to scout for a chance to snag some monsters.
But this time, obviously, they had no chance to steal monsters, and could only watch helplessly.
Besides them, many other players were also watching the stream—including those stuck in Golden City and more far away in the main city.
They all wanted to see what was out there beyond the new map, Golden City.
“Wow! Huaxia Server rules!”
“WTH! Grenades? This isn’t scientific!”
“Stop yelling! Just because you guys don’t have it doesn’t mean it isn’t scientific.”
“This is a classic remake! You gotta blow stuff up!”
Among the viewers, there was one person also watching the stream.
After all, she was slacking off and needed some entertainment.
“Not bad, you’ve learned pretty well.”
Swapping bombs for grenades, teleporting for blinks—it could even be said to be exactly the same.
“Your Highness, what were you just saying?”
“Nothing, just talking to myself.”
“What about the rest?” Luti asked, looking expectantly.
“The rest of what?”
“The part where you just mentioned ‘Cao Mengde passing by the Kingdom of Daughters thrice and Sun Wukong falling in love with Lin Daiyu.’”
“Oh. The rest? Let me think.”
Yuliya pondered briefly before answering: “Cao Mengde passed the Kingdom of Daughters thrice without entry, and simply moved on.”
“As for Sun Wukong and Lin Daiyu, sadly the lovers could not unite, hindered by Buddha Tathagata.”
“In the end, Lin Daiyu was suppressed under Wuzhishan, while Sun Wukong shaved his head and became a monk. And that’s the end of the story.”
“Huh? That… they’re so unfortunate…”
“Yup, it’s true—but that’s the ending.”
What could she do? She really couldn’t make up anything more.
Yuliya gently nudged Luti: “Alright, enough of that. I have important things to do now; find your own stuff to do.”
“But you’re not doing anything, right?”
Yuliya frowned: “What did you say?”
“No, nothing!” Luti quickly shook her head, “Your Highness, you’re busy, I’ll be on my way.”
Ha!
What do you mean “nothing at all”?
She had been busy all day! Exhausted!
Now, watching a bit of the stream for a breather—what’s wrong with that?
She continued watching the live stream.
After Huaxia Server finished off the sandworm, they kept moving forward.
On their way, they encountered plenty of trouble.
Yuliya’s evaluation? “Nice loot, this is delightful to watch!”
Seriously, when I came through, I just zipped across the desert without much hassle.
Oh, turns out that trip had a bunch of experienced soldiers escorting me. I just had to sit back and toss spells for damage.
Hehehe…
