Chapter 422 [(*^▽^*)]

The Devourer, which was temporarily hiding in the wall, quickly fled to other places. There were still some undigested people in its stomach. Now it was buying a little time to digest these people and recover from its injuries.

These three elite monsters wanted to kill him, but not by completely destroying him. Instead, they seized upon his weaknesses little by little and devoured him bit by bit!

"This can't go on. We need to find a way to separate the three of them. Their constant companionship is very disadvantageous for me! What can we do...?"

Devourer wasn't in a hurry. He kept hiding inside the wall and running away, while the three people behind him kept chasing him. They could clearly sense Devourer's hiding place.

Each time, you can break the wall and force him to leave, but you can't make him materialize. However, to attack this Devourer, the opponent must be in a physical state.

Of course, it's not that the ethereal entities are completely unable to attack. It's just that when the ethereal entities are attacked, the devourers will be injured, but they themselves cannot eat the flesh and blood of the other party. So every time, they will let the devourers take the initiative to attack them. When they attack, the devourers will turn into physical entities, so that they have a chance to fleece them!

The current pursuit is actually the safest time for both sides. They just don't know when Devourer will attack them again. As it gets closer to six in the morning, the four of them are getting a little irritable!

They all understood that this battle had to be resolved before six o'clock; otherwise, on the sixth day, the BOSS would no longer need to be confined to the top floor and could move freely within the entire instance of the building.

The female secretary knew that she could only fight the BOSS on the sixth day if she killed Devourer and devoured everyone except herself before six o'clock.

She didn't believe that if she went to beg the BOSS for mercy now, he would let her go or forgive her. What awaited her was certain death. Not only the current BOSS, but even if the original BOSS came back, they wouldn't let her go! There was only one path in front of her!

Become the new boss of this instance before the original one returns. This way, she can not only escape this calamity but also live a carefree life here. All outsiders who enter here in the future will become her food!

They were also afraid of the other two elite monsters. This elite monster, Devourer, was clearly valued by the BOSS, otherwise the BOSS would not have allowed Devourer to ambush them while they were locked in a fierce battle with 01, devouring all three of them.

If the Devourer is still alive after 6 o'clock, then death awaits them. They will be devoured again and eaten once more. This time, there will be no more good luck for them. They will be completely digested and absorbed by the Devourer, truly becoming nourishment for the Devourer and a part of the Devourer's strength!

This is also very dangerous for him. In his opinion, if he fails to devour these two good-for-nothings and the traitor before the battle ends at six o'clock, he will truly be letting down his master's high regard for him.

Perhaps his master will be very disappointed in him and will revert him to his original form, making him an ordinary ghost who was originally very timid and could only steal scraps in dark corners.

Lin Leyou saw that the battle between the four elite monsters had reached a fever pitch. Thinking about it, it made sense. He checked the time; their fight had been going on for quite some time, and it would be six o'clock in a little over two hours.

Two hours isn't a long time at all. Compared to battles between elite monsters, it's relatively short. If we don't go all out now, we'll have to wait until six o'clock...

Lin Leyou smiled slightly. If these elite monsters were still alive by six o'clock... of course he wouldn't eat them. After all, they were his subordinates, and he couldn't accept it psychologically.

Although the original BOSS would devour the useless elite monsters that couldn't be killed by the players in the first five days, he wouldn't. At most, he would just crush those elite monsters.

After all, he is the BOSS, and he still has absolute control over all his subordinates in the entire building, unless... unless someone like the original female secretary wants to usurp the position, which would be a bit more troublesome.

Lin Leyou watched Xue Rui on the monitor. As he wandered around the building, he would occasionally glance in the direction of the monitor, as if he were looking for it.

He smiled slightly. It's impossible to see it by looking. If it were possible to see it... and the simple method wouldn't be able to damage it. Special props are required. This is also a hidden mission.

If Xue Rui could find more surveillance cameras, he might be able to complete the mission. Of course, it would be impossible to find all the cameras. Lin Leyou thought that if he could confirm about half or even a third of them, that should be enough to complete the mission.

Xue Rui was indeed constantly recalling all the surveillance screens he had seen on the top floor. As he walked around below, he kept comparing the images in his mind with what he had seen, searching for places where there might be surveillance cameras.

As it turned out, he actually found a lot of unseen surveillance footage. Of course, it was invisible, but when he touched it, he could feel things.

However, when touching the surveillance camera, one must be careful about the angle so that the BOSS above cannot see one's actions. Therefore, after confirming the location, he always goes around to the back to try to touch it.

He thought Lin Leyou was unaware of what he was doing, but little did he know that while the building's security cameras couldn't capture him touching the monitors, the mechanical spiders hidden in secret locations clearly saw him climbing the wall like a spider with his props to touch the monitors.

"Hahaha..." Lin Leyou couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xue Rui's behavior was a bit funny, but he quickly stopped laughing. Any player who worked hard to complete the mission and clear the level had to be respected!

The time has moved a little closer to six o'clock, and now it's less than two hours away.

Some impatient players were getting anxious and were planning to move closer to the battle area, hoping to find a way to speed up the end of the battle. However, none of them dared to actually make a move. They just gathered together to discuss whether to use bombs or speed, or if there were other useful methods.

Even Huajiao and the others were getting anxious. "The captain told us to calm down, what do you guys think?"

Zhou Feng: "The situation is getting a bit urgent now. The new elite monster just swallowed the female secretary's arm, but he himself was also grabbed by the mouth by that big guy. This time it wasn't torn apart, but a big chunk of flesh was torn off. Neither side gained an advantage."

Fang Hong said, "They were like two peas in a pod, and whoever could devour the other first would win."

There's really no way for others to get involved in this kind of battle. These players can't exactly go up and take a bite, can they? They'd probably be poisoned to death before the elite monsters even come to kill them.

They sent a message in the chat group and received a reply from Xue Rui telling them to stay down there and not go up easily. The elite monsters were now in a frenzy, and even the usually elusive Devourer was launching attacks one after another.

Aside from Devourer, which has a mouth, the other three elite monsters are missing limbs. Elite Monster 02 even had half its head gnawed off because of its previous food. Fortunately, it is a ghost, so even if it loses half its head, it can still move around. As long as it eats back, its head can grow back.

Elite Monster 04's bones are still relatively intact, but it has lost a lot of flesh. After all, it's difficult for the Devourer's teeth to bite through its bones, but it's relatively easy to bite off the flesh attached to the bones.

Now he looks terrible, with his arms and legs all gnawed and pitted. The one who suffered the most was the female secretary. She was given special care while she was being swallowed. When she came out, all that was left below her chest was bone. If bones weren't so hard to digest, the female secretary probably wouldn't have had a chance to come out.

Xue Rui checked the time; there was still about an hour left. These four elite monsters were probably going to get serious, and he wondered if an hour would be enough for them to finish the battle.

He held his only gold-plated weapon, a dagger, in his hand, and wore an evil-repelling bracelet on his wrist. Both of these were gold-plated items, and when used together... they could produce unexpected effects.

Perhaps... he himself will reap the greatest reward in the end? Xue Rui's lips curled slightly. He had already found a bit of a feeling. Just wait a little longer, and he could make his move.

Just as Xue Rui had thought, the battle between the four elite monsters had reached a fever pitch, and any player who got close to the two-layer area was likely to be accidentally injured.

Moreover, these elite monsters seemed to sense the players' restless movements. While attacking each other, they would throw things at the players' hiding places. Sometimes it was stones, and sometimes it was miscellaneous items, such as tables, chairs, benches, and ornaments.

Xue Rui, on the other hand, has always been in a rather delicate position, not too far away. Xue Rui knows that the elite monsters can sense him in this direction, but he hasn't gotten too close to their warning range, so the elite monsters have been ignoring him so far. However, if Xue Rui takes one or two more steps forward, he will receive some extra little gifts.

The female secretary was nearly driven mad, laughing maniacally as she unleashed a storm of attacks on Devourer, all the while cursing, "Die, die... just die already!"

The other two elite monsters didn't hold back either; wherever they sensed a location being devoured, they would frantically smash everything in that spot to pieces, making it impossible for the monster to hide in the shadows and launch a sneak attack.

Devourer wouldn't just take the hits; his huge mouth would appear and disappear intermittently, sometimes taking a bite, and sometimes just feinting to attract their attention before reappearing elsewhere to take another bite. This method wasn't always effective, and the three of them learned their lesson after falling for it a few times.

The female secretary sensed time rapidly ticking away, her glaring eyes bulging even more, as if they might fall out at the slightest movement. She knew that if she didn't hurry, it would be too late. "Die, die!"
