Chapter 368 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou looked at his wide-open mouth, which stretched all the way to the back of his head, and inside the open mouth were densely packed sharp barbs, making it look a bit like a lamprey.
Ugh! That's really disgusting! Seeing that mouth triggered his trypophobia!
The monster probably realized it couldn't fight Lin Leyou right now, so it turned around and jumped off the tree branch. With a push of its legs, it darted four or five meters away. So fast!
Lin Leyou couldn't possibly catch up on his own, but that didn't matter. He had a plan: the red dot would run ahead, and he would have the mechanical spider follow behind, while he himself would chase after the mechanical spider.
It's inconvenient, really inconvenient, this monster runs too fast!
He didn't have any speed-up abilities... Hmm? He could buy speed-up potions in the system shop. Although buying them would cost points, and using them in the real world would also cost points, he would earn one million points if he completed the mission.
After browsing the shop, he chose the green-grade speed-up potion, which costs 10,000 points per bottle and can double his speed, lasting for one hour after consumption.
After using it, he briefly assessed his current speed. It was fast; although he might still not be able to compare with that monster, at least he wouldn't be left too far behind.
Moreover, his current speed allows him to perform high-speed parkour, and with the skills he honed with Qin Xingyu, he can now even use the momentum to leap directly from one side of the river to the other.
The river is at least five meters wide, easily.
Lin Leyou took out his weapon and quickly discovered the elite monster's escape route. He immediately chased after it, as the monster probably thought it had escaped and was hiding in a bridge arch.
To make matters worse, there was a homeless man lying in the underpass! The first mechanical spider to arrive saw the homeless man staring at the monster with a dumbfounded expression.
The homeless man probably saw the monster's eyes bleeding, so he didn't dare to move and just lay there the same way he had been lying.
But... this monster also has tentacles! As the tentacles continued to explore, it soon discovered a living being nearby!
No, I have to hurry... He controlled the mechanical spider to create some noise outside the bridge arch, and the elite monster indeed abandoned the weak life form and focused on the sounds outside.
Because he heard the sound but couldn't detect anything outside, which is to be expected, since mechanical spiders are machines, not living beings.
After detecting no other life forms, the elite monster immediately moved to another location, continuing to run along the riverbank. Before long, it reached an area near the outskirts of the city, where there were few people and houses, and farmland everywhere. The area looked dark and was an ideal hunting ground.
After Lin Leyou arrived at this place, he did not rush to confirm the location of the elite monster. Instead, he walked around the area, giving the other party the illusion that he knew the monster was there, but could not pinpoint its exact location.
In fact, he already knew that the elite monster was hiding in a nearby stinking ditch, its entire body submerged in foul-smelling mud. If he hadn't known beforehand, he might have actually been fooled.
Lin Leyou stared at the stinking ditch from afar, wondering if the monster had any self-healing abilities. If it did, its eyes might have almost fully recovered by now.
Let's see later.
If anyone were here now, they would surely see a swirling black mist moving back and forth across this vast farmland, and upon closer inspection, they would also discover a pair of eyes flashing red light within it.
Lin Leyou walked around for about ten minutes before arriving near the stinking ditch. He slowly walked along the ditch, step by step approaching the location where the elite monster was hiding.
Even as he got close enough to the enemy to be less than a meter apart, the elite monster didn't move! Keep in mind that the red and green dots on the map were now overlapping!
Lin Leyou did not continue forward. There was no benefit in continuing forward now. Although he was prepared, he could still be ambushed from behind by this elite monster.
He couldn't guarantee he could withstand the monster's sneak attack, so the best option for him was to strike first!
The cold glint of the cursed dagger in his hand flickered in and out of the churning black mist. Lin Leyou used the fastest speed he could muster to aim the dagger at the elite monster in the stinking ditch.
Even though he couldn't see the elite monster with his own eyes right now, as long as he could pinpoint its location, that was enough. With the blade pointing downwards, the cursed dagger was thrust with all his might into the spot where the elite monster was hiding.
As soon as he struck, Lin Leyou was met with a scream from the monster, but he quickly withdrew his sword and retreated a considerable distance.
Even so, he was still hurt. Rubbing his ears, Lin Leyou was certain that he couldn't hear anything for the time being.
Even so, he still had to kill the monster first, and... wasn't it just right that he couldn't hear it now? Even if the monster launched a sonic attack, he wouldn't be harmed again.
As for healing, we can deal with that after we kill the monster. Anyway, there are basic healing items in the system shop. Although it will cost some points, it won't matter.
At this moment, the elite monster, covered in black, foul-smelling, wet, and rotten mud, had crawled out of the stinking ditch. Although Lin Leyou was not too close, he could still smell the stench that challenged the limits of human endurance.
"Ugh..." Lin Leyou couldn't hold it in any longer!
The monster was covered in mud, so Lin Leyou couldn't tell if the wound on its eyes had healed. He could see two tentacles moving, but he couldn't see its eyes, which were covered in mud, open.
This confirmed that he still couldn't hear, which temporarily put Lin Leyou at ease, but...
My stab just now must have hit the guy right near his neck, plus the damage was doubled, but I didn't expect him to still be alive.
This elite monster was essentially slashed four times by its own cursed dagger!
Fortunately, he had the Golden Sun item, and the mental energy he had used up from the first strike had almost recovered. After that strike, he could now land two more strikes, but he didn't know if this elite monster could really withstand two more strikes... that is, four strikes of damage.
Using its hearing and two tentacles that constantly probed the air, the elite monster roughly confirmed the location of the silent Lin Leyou. It bent its legs slightly and was about to hop over!
Lin Leyou quickly dodged to the side. A swirling black mist drifted erratically. As expected of an elite monster, it quickly pinpointed Lin Leyou's approximate location. With a push of its legs, it charged forward like a black flash. Fortunately, Lin Leyou was fast enough to narrowly miss it.
Although he wasn't attacked, Lin Leyou was covered in mud, and the smell was unbearable. But there was no other way; he just had to kill him as soon as possible... Ah?!
Just as Lin Leyou was about to continue his pursuit, several cars drove up on a cement road ahead, and the first one drove straight into the field.
Several cars behind also stopped, and all the doors opened. A total of ten people got out of the two cars, all dressed in pure black clothes and wearing black hoods, with only their eyes showing.
Upon seeing so many people appear, the monster immediately fled in one direction, while Lin Leyou did not leave. Normally, he would have chased after the monster.
The mission was very important, but he was surprised to see that the person who got out of the car that had rushed into the field was Xue Rui!
The moment he saw Xue Rui, he knew that it must have been Xue Zhengyang and his wife who had done it, and that they had even hired gangsters to be the executioners!
No, he can't just leave like this. Even if Xue Rui is a pro player and has earned five million points, it would be relatively easy for him to bring his items to the real world, but... no matter what, he can't possibly deal with so many people all at once, right?
Moreover, they are all people from the underworld, and these people will do anything for money. If Lin Leyou leaves, he is certain that even if Xue Rui manages to leave alive, he will not have a good ending.
Lin Leyou rubbed his ears. His hearing hadn't recovered yet, but that didn't matter. The most important thing now was to help Xue Rui get out of danger.
What should he do? The only tool he could use right now was the sharp knife in his hand. Xue Rui was very familiar with this knife, and if Xue Rui saw it, he would most likely recognize it.
What to do? What to do?
He rummaged through his backpack, which was full of things, and suddenly he spotted a prop—a black makeup mirror! Oh right, there was such a prop!
This item was obtained in the first dungeon, the Shangyu Village dungeon. He even used the mirror to reflect the Song camp. What's more, this item can be upgraded!
"Black Makeup Mirror: Mirroring an object for ten seconds will replicate everything about that object. When used on yourself, you can completely transform into that object for three minutes (cooldown time 24 hours)."
"Deducting 1000 points will permanently reduce the duration of the effect by one second, up to a maximum reduction of five seconds. Deducting 1000 points can also increase the duration of the effect by one minute, up to a maximum increase of seven minutes!"
"Once it can no longer be enhanced, points can be deducted to upgrade the Black Makeup Mirror to a purple-grade item!"
Without saying a word, Lin Leyou first gave the system 300,000 points so that the Black Makeup Mirror could be used in the real world. Then he used 5,000 points and 7,000 points respectively to reduce the time it takes to reflect people to 5 seconds and increase the transformation time to 10 minutes!
This will allow you to upgrade the Black Makeup Mirror to a purple-grade item.
