Chapter 384 [(*^▽^*)]

After all, grenades are the cheapest offensive weapon in the system store. Although they are disposable, they are very cheap. With enough points, you can use these grenades as you like!

Elite Monster 03 was stunned for a moment when he saw the grenade, and then realized what it was. By the time he tried to throw it, it was too late!

"boom!"

The purple-grade grenade was quite powerful; the explosion destroyed half of the floor, cracking the walls and shattering everything inside. The elite monster, only three to five meters away from the grenade, was blasted away and crashed into the wall, creating a hole.

He was then buried in the rubble! He looked really pathetic, but you have to admit, elite monsters aren't so easy to kill. In less than two seconds, the debris that was pressing down on him was blown away!

Lin Leyou saw that Elite Monster 03 was panting heavily, clearly even angrier than before. As for its injuries? It was indeed a bit injured, but judging from its description, the injuries shouldn't be too serious.

It seems that the purple-grade grenades are indeed effective, but not very effective. If we could use gold-grade grenades, we might be able to seriously injure or even kill him, but gold-grade grenades cost 1000 points each!

Successfully completing a B-level difficulty dungeon should theoretically earn you tens of thousands of points, but you have to successfully complete the dungeon first. Other hidden quests, etc., might only earn you a few thousand points!

A grenade that costs 1000 points is not something an ordinary player can use casually. Even using just one would be very painful. Not to mention, the grenade takes time to explode, and if an elite monster notices it during that time, it's actually quite easy for it to dodge.

Spending so many points only to fail to achieve the desired results would be devastating for anyone. Therefore, it's crucial to time the grenade use correctly.

Just now, the last player who flipped over did a great job. Who was it again? Oh right, it was the captain of the five-person team, number 1. Lin Leyou nodded.

Continue observing the elite monster. He's now enraged and no longer walks slowly. He's taking off and flying around the company. He's even stopped using the stairs and is flying out of the window and downstairs.

Through the window, he saw several other players who were completely unaware of the appearance of the elite monsters; they had been searching for ordinary ghosts on the lower floors from the beginning.

They were stunned for a moment when they saw the monster outside the window. In that instant, they lost their chance to escape. The elite monster broke through the window and killed the two players with its claws without even using its own abilities. It then eagerly drained them dry.

The remaining players tried to escape, but they were right in the elite monster's control range. Before they could run two steps, they found themselves suspended in mid-air. When they tried to use items to escape, they were thrown against the wall. The impact knocked them unconscious, and they fell to the ground without a sound.

With fewer and fewer players, Lin Leyou realized that this elite monster 03 was quite powerful, having already killed many players. He was now looking forward to the other elite monsters.

The two teams that escaped earlier are now in a corner on the first floor discussing their next plan.

The trio leader's expression had lost its initial ease. "I think we absolutely must kill this elite monster tonight!"

"agree!"

"no problem!"

"That's what I think too."

"There are five elite monsters in total. They didn't appear last night, but one appeared today. Tomorrow, two or even more will appear, until one day all five of them appear together."

Number 5 gasped, "If all five of them really show up together, we don't even need to fight, we can just commit suicide. We have no chance of winning at all."

Number 2: "Yeah, we're already overwhelmed by just one elite monster, let alone five. And I bet a lot of players have died by now. It gets harder and harder as we progress. We have to kill them!"

Number 4 stroked his chin. "How do we kill him? The sonic attack seemed to be very effective, but the moves we've already used might not be as effective as the first time."

Number 1, "Do you think... there's a time limit to the berserk state of elite monsters?"

Everyone was stunned by these words. This issue certainly seemed worth discussing, but…

The team leader said, "Even if there's a time limit, we don't know how long it is. If we keep waiting, and he doesn't recover by six in the morning..."

Suddenly, Number 5 had a flash of inspiration. "By the way, do you guys remember that player who attacked the ghost that had regained its human form after six o'clock in the morning? The one who was wanted for 24 hours and had a thousand points, no one has found him yet, he's hiding very well."

At first, everyone was a little puzzled by what she said, but they weren't stupid, and they quickly realized what she meant...

Number 2, "You mean to kill him after 6 a.m.? That way, even though we'll be wanted for 24 hours, as long as we hide well, there won't be any problems?"

"After all, this method is simpler than confronting elite monsters head-on, and it's only 24 hours. If the player could hide well before, he can definitely do it this time too, right?"

After pondering for a moment, Number 1 said, "The player who killed the previous one killed an ordinary ghost, but this time it's an elite monster. We can't be sure when the wanted notice will be issued or how many points will be awarded."

"Should we still kill this elite monster now? If we confront it head-on, we might suffer casualties."

There are two teams now. If there are casualties, which team should be injured or killed? It's not appropriate for either team to be injured or killed!

Number 1: "It's still early, how about we wait a while before we talk about it?"

The team leader nodded, "That's good. That elite monster is still in a berserk state. If we go there, we'll be the first to be hit and we definitely won't get any benefits."

"In that case, how about we meet at the main entrance on the first floor at four in the morning and hunt down this elite monster together?"

No one hesitated much. The elite monsters had to be killed. First, it was for clearing the game, and second, it was for the side quest. The side quest was to kill five elite monsters. After killing them all, anyone who participated in killing one of them would get 5,000 points!

Of course, killing elite monsters will also grant you extra kill rewards, which are points and the key to survival in the future. They are something that all players are eager to obtain!

Lin Leyou watched the two teams separate again on the monitor, his smile never fading. Did they want to wait until the elite monster 03's berserk state disappeared before going?

The abacus beads were about to hit him in the face. What a pity, the reality was completely different from what they thought. The elite monsters were weakest when they first appeared, and then…

The more people they eat, the stronger they become. This elite monster 03 has already eaten quite a few people, and its current strength is definitely much greater than when it first appeared.

It would have been most worthwhile if the five-man squad had tried their best to kill him when they first encountered him, but they chose to run away.

Lin Leyou continued to observe the five-person team. He originally thought they were going to look for other ordinary ghosts, but he didn't expect them to run straight to the floor where the elite monster 03 was located.

"Huh? What's going on? Could it be..."

The five-person team communicated as they ran, and Lin Leyou could only hear their conversations when there was surveillance footage, so the conversations were intermittent and incomplete.

Based on these words, Lin Leyou could deduce their purpose, just as he had thought: they were indeed going to find Elite Monster 03 and kill this monster.

"Captain, are we really going now?"

Number 1: "Now is the best time; we can't waste any more time."

"What exactly is going on? Weren't we supposed to wait until 4 a.m.?"

Number 1, "I'm asking you, what do you think the purpose of the regular background NPCs that are added every day?"

After a moment of silence, they realized that these ordinary NPCs were usually killed and eaten by ghosts, or drained dry, so this was for...

Number 1, "It's meant to be food for ghosts. Don't you guys think that the ordinary ghosts nowadays are all stronger than the first one we encountered?"

Number 5 gasped, "My God, does that mean if this elite monster isn't killed quickly, it will keep eating and getting stronger?"

"This is my guess. Their three-person team is unwilling to take risks with us. If we force them to come along, they might even hold us back at crucial moments."

"So, I used this excuse to send them away, and while the elite monster was still injured by the sonic attack and the explosion, and its injuries hadn't healed, I went to kill it as soon as possible. Number 2, where is he now?"

Number 2: "It's quietly doing nothing in the hallway on the 18th floor. It's a bit eerie. Should we take another look?"

They were currently on the twelfth floor, not very close to the eighteenth floor, but to be on the safe side, they did not continue to go up, but rested in the corridor.

Number 1 breathed a sigh of relief, "Did the elite monster just eat someone?"

#2: "The elite monster just jumped out of the window with us. We were already inside the building, so he didn't see us, but he broke into a floor below, killed several players, and ate them!"

Number 1 looked rather grim. "It seems this elite monster is even harder to kill. Do we still have any of the sonic attack items from before? If so, we can put some smaller ones on him."

Number 5 was slightly taken aback. "Will this work?"

If it could really be placed on him, the sound waves could cause him continuous damage without him noticing.

This is also an item, and items will be seen. Would an elite monster be that stupid?
