Lin Leyou had been trapped by his family his entire life. Right after graduating from high school, he was forced to start working to support them, all because he had just gained a younger brother. ...
Chapter 416 [(*^▽^*)]
It wasn't just the five of them who discovered this; Wang Fu and his two companions also found out, as did other players who had refused to cooperate with Wang Fu.
Although they were unwilling to cooperate, it didn't mean they gave up monitoring the elite monsters; all the players noticed the strange situation.
When they discovered that they were the only players still able to move around in the entire building, those who had initially rejected Wang Fu all changed their minds.
Of course, right now all players can't communicate with other teams in real time, since there's no chat group between them, but many people have monitoring items that can be moved around.
These items won't attract the attention of elite monsters, and players can even walk right past them without them giving them a second glance. Once players realize this, they gradually stop trying to hide their items.
Within an hour, Xue Rui and Wang Fu both received messages from other players expressing their desire to cooperate in dealing with the elite monster. Although they hadn't figured out exactly what was going on, they were happy to see all the players unite.
Using movable monitoring tools, all players were able to exchange information with each other, and even created a large group of 21 people, with everyone in the group.
Of course, each team still has its own small chat group, and some things are not suitable to be said in the large group. Everyone has some little secrets.
Even so, in the large group, it was all the team captains who were speaking. Apart from Xue Rui and Wang Fu, there were three other teams: two five-person teams and one four-person team. One of the five-person teams still had a player who was hiding, so they were not counted for the time being.
This is a group of 21 players, consisting of one five-person team, two four-person teams, Xue Rui's five-person team, and Wang Fu's three-person team.
Wang Fu said, "Since that's the case, then it's settled. When the time is almost up, I will send a message in the group, and everyone should follow the time I send the message to avoid violating the rules."
The players in the group naturally had no objections. Some might have had their own ulterior motives, but in any case, everyone had reached a consensus for the time being. After all, none of the players who had made it this far were foolish.
Compared to the previous nights, tonight was incredibly quiet. The entire building was completely silent, without a single sound. If it weren't for the lights still visible in some offices, it would have looked like a ghost town.
Lin Leyou watched the footage on the monitor and yawned with boredom. Tonight was indeed boring; basically nothing happened.
The players had no idea what was happening, but Lin Leyou could see it clearly: all the ordinary NPCs and ordinary ghosts, except for the players, had been eaten by the elite monster 01!
She used to need someone to break the rules to teleport to her side, but now she can teleport at will, something that players don't seem to have noticed.
In addition, Elite Monster 01 keeps transforming in places unseen by players. Each transformation makes her stronger, and the number of transformations is exactly the same as the number of ordinary NPCs and ordinary ghosts present. And now...
The players couldn't find her because the elite monsters didn't want to be found. Lin Leyou knew that she was currently on the 43rd floor, the same floor where the other two elite monsters were resting.
Of course, there are some monitoring devices set up by players here, but when Elite Monster 01 appeared here, these devices did not react at all, as if they had not noticed it.
Lin Leyou knew that this elite monster must have gained new abilities, such as setting up an environment to confuse these monitoring devices. She even knew that these were monitoring devices, belonging to all the players below.
Elite monsters 02 and 04 are still elite monsters, and even if elite monster 01 has become much stronger, it is simply impossible for it to completely hide its aura.
The two of them slowly got up and approached, then stared solemnly at the elite monster 01 in front of them. She had now returned to her original graceful appearance and looked even more beautiful than before!
Elite Monster 02 adjusted his glasses. "What? You want to be our enemy?"
Elite Monster 04 chuckled, "I think she ate a lot of food and thinks she's all that now, so she wants to devour us to challenge her master!"
"Really? That's quite bold. I wonder if their abilities match their boldness."
"They dare to offend even their master? Do they really think we're made of clay?"
"Even if you do manage to defeat us and devour us, what then? If you eat all four of us, you might be able to hold out with the master for a while, but don't forget that 03 and 05 are gone without even corpses! What do you plan to do?"
Elite Monster 01 revealed a beautiful smile, now she seemed like a queen, looking down on all living beings.
"You don't need to waste time with all this nonsense. You just need to become... nourishment for me to increase my strength. Are you ready?"
Elite monsters 02 and 04 looked at her warily. Although they had said that earlier, it would actually be quite dangerous to face the current elite monster 01.
Fortunately, the two of them are together, and they can definitely kill this 01. Does she really think she's invincible?
Lin Leyou, who was on the top floor, watched the whole thing and roughly understood the meaning of this elite monster 01 and its future plans. The corpses of the elite monsters 03 and 05 that appeared in the previous two days were all gone, which was indeed a great loss.
But she clearly found an alternative method, such as first making herself stronger by attacking ordinary NPCs and ghosts other than players, and then finding and eating the remaining two elite monsters.
There are about three hours left until dawn. With her current strength, three hours should be just enough to deal with these two elite monsters.
If she fails to devour the two elite monsters, then if she fails to kill them all before six o'clock when Xue Rui and the others carry out their plan, she will commit suicide, without a doubt.
However, if she can devour these two elite monsters within three hours, then she will not be bound by the rules and can directly ignore the players' violations.
In this way, the time will reach the fifth day. As the BOSS, I cannot leave the top floor for the first five days. This fifth day is the last time for Elite Monster 01 to increase her strength. On the night of the fifth day, she can kill and eat everyone in the building except for the BOSS. In this way, she can probably make up for the difference between not being able to eat the two elite monsters.
At that time, Lin Leyou, as the BOSS, will have a duel with this elite monster whose strength is unknown. If she wins, she will become the BOSS of this dungeon from then on. If he wins, he will become the BOSS of this dungeon.
No, it's not Lin Leyou, but Tiancheng, the BOSS he's currently playing.
It's strange. This dungeon has been around for quite a while now. Does this elite monster always act like this, or does it only do this when it comes alone?
Did she realize she wasn't the original, so she decided to try and become the final boss of the dungeon herself? If she failed, the original boss wouldn't know; if she succeeded... the benefits would be plentiful!
Lin Leyou: "System, did Elite Monster 01 dare to challenge the BOSS only because it realized I wasn't the original?"
"System notification: Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for discovering his own crisis!"
Lin Leyou blinked. "Crisis? I'm actually in crisis? Does this mean that if this elite monster 01 really completes all the steps I just planned, it can actually fight me?!"
The system did not respond, but Lin Leyou could no longer sit still. He had to do something, otherwise, when Elite Monster 01 actually stood in front of him, would he really be able to win?
Although he is gradually acquiring memories of the other abilities of this big boss, acquiring memories does not mean that he can use them skillfully, and there may even be some things he does not know.
On the sixth day, whether to face other players alone or to face elite monsters alone is a difficult choice.
Lin Leyou was quite relaxed at first, just watching the play, but he never expected that he would end up becoming a part of the play himself!
"Amazing!" Lin Leyou felt fortunate that he hadn't chosen her to be the first one downstairs, otherwise, this elite monster would probably have already come looking for him!
Today is the last three hours of the fourth night. Tomorrow will still be the fifth day, and he still cannot leave the top floor. It will be the sixth day before he can move around freely.
He himself can't go down, but he can send other things down! On the 43rd floor, three elite monsters are fighting to the death; if another one were added...
His gaze fell on the summoning orb he had placed on the corner of the table. Although it was an item summoning orb, as long as he was still BOSS Tiancheng, he could restore it to its original state.
Even after this ghostly creature is restored to its original state, it will continue to advance. Once it successfully advances, it can become a true elite monster!
Now is the perfect time to restore this summoning orb.
The battle on the 43rd floor had reached a fever pitch. Due to the blockade by Elite Monster 01 and the illusion, even if they fought fiercely there, the rest of the building would not feel anything.
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, then threw out the summoning bead. The ghost-like creature from before appeared on the floor in front of him, and a thick black mist enveloped the ghost-like creature completely for only a few seconds.
A voice came from within the black mist, "Master! I did it! I did it!"
Lin Leyou nodded. "Very good, from now on you are an elite monster 01."
Ghost Devourer was extremely shocked. He knew there were five elite monsters, numbered from 01 to 05! He never dreamed he could become 01; he thought he could at most be 05 or maybe 06!
