Without hesitation, he delivered a follow-up sword strike. The semi-transparent sword energy barrier instantly contracted to neck width when it reached the Wire Control Player. This strike should have hit its target, but unexpectedly, the opponent transford into a floating shadow again, reappearing to his left front!
Xu Huo paused: Was this a characteristic?
At that mont, the Tattooed Man squatting in the tree laughed and said to the Wire Control Player, "I'll leave this side to you, I'm going to deal with that girl!"
After speaking, he headed toward Yan Jiayu's direction. anwhile, the player who had previously ambushed Xu Huo produced a remote controller that looked like a gaming device. As he manipulated it, the vines in the forest began moving like snakes!
Xu Huo was cautious about the small hats they might be hiding on their bodies and didn't dare to go all out with lethal attacks. These players felt the sa way, so the vines only attacked his exposed, visible areas. After cutting down two large trees to block the vines, he quickly swung his sword toward the Remote Control Player.
But the vines ford a barrier first, blocking the sword energy. The Remote Control Player looked at him from a distance and said, "Your sword can only hit things closest to you. It counts as a long-range combat item, but its flaw is too significant—far less practical than my item!"
As his words fell, those vines began churning like waves!
Xu Huo wasn't surprised that his item's usage thod had been seen through so quickly. In actual combat, the more tis an item is used, the easier its weaknesses are exposed.
He grabbed the piano wire and flew onto the wire net full of small hats, wanting to use the traps set by the Wire Control Player to secure so maneuvering space. However, the wire net beneath his feet began gathering from all sides, wrapping around him like a fishing net!
With a slight frown, he lifted two fingers to raise the piano wire, flying out just before the net closed completely. He placed the fairy tale book on a tree crown, then leaped down from mid-air, stepping on the vines as he charged toward the Wire Control Player, swinging his sword through the air!
The Wire Control Player transford into a floating shadow again, but this ti Xu Huo didn't pause. Instead, he accelerated his slashing speed, striking three tis consecutively. When the opponent transford into a floating shadow for the fourth ti and vanished into thin air, Xu Huo preemptively intercepted him at a position three ters to the left, thrusting his sword into empty air!
The Wire Control Player, who had just escaped from the sword energy, had his throat pierced with a face full of astonishnt.
Whether it was an item or characteristic, the ability to calmly escape under attack was very powerful and also highly deceptive, creating the illusion that he couldn't be killed. However, after attacking a few more tis, one could discover that the Wire Control Player's transfer direction and distance followed patterns—he could only move in four directions: forward, backward, left, and right, and the distance was only three ters.
Watching the person before him breathe his last, Xu Huo withdrew his sword and flicked off the blood, then conveniently collected the wire net from the forest. He crumpled it into a ball along with the small hats on it and threw it toward the Remote Control Player who had just recovered from the fairy tale book's ntal attack.
Seeing his companion killed, the Remote Control Player avoided the wire ball and wanted to seek help from the Tattooed Man's side. But at that mont, the Flying Rope Player was struck by Yan Jiayu and flew right toward him. The two collided and crashed into a nearby tree. The tree shook, causing the fairy tale book placed on the tree crown to fall down and open at their feet. A large amount of blood gushed out from the book!
Simultaneously, Xu Huo, who had been delayed by the vines, had already chopped through the debris on the ground and reached their rear!
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the Remote Control Player quickly raised a vine barrier on both sides.
By the ti Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu, who had returned from the opposite side, broke through the barriers one after another, there was no trace of anyone inside.
"The tattooed one ran away too," Yan Jiayu said. "Should we chase them?"
Xu Huo glanced at the three different directions where tree bushes were rustling, sheathed his long sword and said, "Forget it. Even if we chase them, we might not be able to kill them."
Yan Jiayu seed sowhat angry. "It's all because of those hats. We don't know if they're hiding small hats under their clothes, so we have to fight with restraints."
Xu Huo picked up the fairy tale book and patted it clean. "It's a double-edged sword. Since we're carrying hats, they don't dare to go all out either. I think their initial goal was to capture you."
Yan Jiayu was puzzled. "Capture
for what? To steal our small hats? Don't the hats only transfer voluntarily?"
"They wanted to see how many hats you have," Tang Xiao said from a distant tree. "If it's few, they could directly use the rules to kill you and eliminate their own excess hats."
"Like that female player earlier," Yan Jiayu understood. "They wanted to find soone to crush the hats. That way, they could get rid of their extras and also exchange for the small hat I got from the mirror tent."
"These people are truly wicked!"
Tang Xiao jumped down from the tree, circumventing the small hats scattered on the ground as he approached them, and added, "That's why newly entered players are easily targeted."
"But you don't need to worry too much. This thod carries great risks. If you accidentally damage a hat, you'll end up sacrificing your own life too."
Xu Huo looked at him. "Why are you still following us?"
Tang Xiao smiled. "Like I said earlier, I want to find people to cooperate with."
"What benefits do we get from cooperating with you?" Xu Huo asked directly.
Tang Xiao didn't mind the bluntness. "I've been here longer, so I definitely understand the dungeon better than you do. At the very least, I can remind you to avoid unnecessary detours."
"Additionally, you should know that whether it's single tickets or group tickets, they're fixed. So even if you take
to a ga point, I won't be counted in the numbers."
"My proposal is: I'll tell you information related to the dungeon. If you can clear it, then tell
the clearance thod."
"Sounds good, but as you said, spending more ti in the dungeon allows one to understand the rules. We don't necessarily need to bring you along," Xu Huo looked at him. "This isn't equivalent to the thod of passing ga points."
Hearing this, Tang Xiao instead smiled. "I have quite a few companions. Through our cooperation, we've actually already figured out most of the ga point gaplay thods. We're just missing the crucial final step."
"The last Q&
A ga location?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow.
"Exactly. Mobilizing more people is precisely to find all five questions. I can guarantee I'm not lying to you." Tang Xiao took out a red mask and said, "This is an item that verifies the truth of statents. The bead in the middle moves upward to indicate truth, downward to indicate falsehood."
To show sincerity, he first said: "Tang Xiao is not my real na."
The bead in the middle groove slowly slid upward.
"Let
try too," Yan Jiayu was very interested. She leaned over and said to the mask, "Candy is sweet."
The bead spun in the middle for a mont before moving upward.
"Quite fun," Yan Jiayu laughed, then called Xu Huo to try.
"I am a woman," Xu Huo said to the mask.
Two seconds later, the bead slowly began climbing upward.
Both Tang Xiao and Yan Jiayu froze simultaneously. The forr was shocked and hurriedly checked the item, while the latter maintained her astonished expression as she turned around. "You're actually a woman!"
Xu Huo looked at her with an expressionless face.
