Chapter 382 [(*^▽^*)]
So the two of them put the person down. The corridor and elevator were blocked by elite monsters, so they could not get through. They could only continue running inside, trying to find a way around him.
However, the elite monster pursued them relentlessly, constantly using surrounding objects to smash them. It even levitated one of the players once, and just when they were about to be captured, his two teammates pulled them back.
Although he was rescued, he was still terrified. "Oh my god, run! Run out the window! I don't believe he'll fly out the window and chase us!"
"It can't be that bad!"
The three had already opened the window, then took out a rope with a hook, temporarily secured the hook, and then all three grabbed the rope and quickly fell down, finding the window they had opened earlier as a precaution and crawling inside as fast as they could.
Just then, the rope outside was pulled up with a whoosh, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"They're so fast! If we were any slower, we'd either be killed by the ghosts as we climbed up the rope, or we'd fall off and die."
"You're smart enough to know to open the windows on the lower floors, otherwise it would have been dangerous this time."
"Wait, don't relax yet! This toilet might not be safe either. Let's assess the situation first!"
Fortunately, after inspection, not only the toilet, but the entire floor was clean, with no ghosts or even people, but some mutilated corpses and signs of a battle were found.
"It seems the ghosts on this floor have been killed. Judging from the traces... these players were quite strong. Should we look for them? Maybe we can cooperate!"
"Let's see if we can find them. We don't know where to look right now, so let's just let things take their course. Also... let's hurry up and find the other ordinary ghosts. If we waste time, they'll all be killed by the others!"
"Yes, yes, hurry up and find it, let's go!"
Lin Leyou watched as they searched for both players and ghosts. When they encountered players, they would tell them that they had seen an elite monster that was too strong to defeat and ask if they wanted to team up. When they encountered ghosts, they would kill them to earn points!
They seemed to be having a good time, and Lin Leyou found it quite amusing, but then he remembered that they were killing his own underlings, and his laughter immediately vanished.
If all these ghosts are killed, won't I be left all alone after five days? And what if all the surviving players gang up on me?
He originally intended to use his teleportation skill, which allows him to teleport once every two hours, to chase down fleeing players, but now it seems more like he's using it to escape himself!
So, in the end, this game isn't about the ultimate boss wreaking havoc, but rather the path to survival for a pitiful and helpless boss?
Lin Leyou's gaze shifted to Elite Monster 03, who was currently grabbing a player and about to bite him through the neck. The player was then drained of his life force and died within seconds!
He casually tossed the drained corpse onto the ground, alongside two other desiccated bodies. Just moments before, while he was observing the other players, this elite monster had killed three of them.
Lin Leyou's mood improved considerably. As expected of an elite monster, it was good to kill a few more players. He could leave all the troublesome ones to himself and save himself a lot of time.
Elite Monster #03, who had eaten three players, was in a great mood. He hadn't expected to be the first one sent down to hunt, and now he was far ahead of the other four.
When the time comes, I must go back and show off to the four of them.
Elite Monster 03 became increasingly happy and walked faster and faster. He slowly descended from his current floor, searching floor by floor, killing and eating anyone he saw that was not a ghost.
Fortunately, players have items, so even if they can't defeat this elite monster, they can still escape. During this time, some teams also planned to try to kill this elite monster and earn points.
But they all succumbed to the opponent's relentless attacks, unable to even hide nearby and wait for it to leave, unless they had special items, otherwise it would definitely discover them!
The player who had previously tried to sneak up on the monster's path and deliver a fatal blow was instead caught off guard by the elite monster. After the monster noticed something amiss, it turned the tables and pretended not to notice. Instead, it was the elite monster that killed the player with a single blow and devoured him.
One player died, leaving only thirty-eight players. Lin Leyou counted the number of players on his fingers, wondering how many points he could still earn once he was free to move around.
It's the same familiar chat group.
Number 1, "Where else can I find ordinary ghosts?"
Number 2: "The elite monster is on the 30th floor now. It's probably too powerful. Once that item is used, it will inevitably point to that direction. If we want to find it, we can only go find other ordinary ghosts ourselves."
Number 5, "This elite monster is really strong. But after monitoring it for so long, I can see that its abilities are the two that the captain mentioned before. There shouldn't be any others."
Number 1, "We can't let our guard down. Perhaps he hasn't really made a move yet."
Number 4: "Oh my god, this is just one elite monster. There are four more behind it, and there's a final boss at the very top. Can we really get through this?"
Number 1: "Don't you find this strange?"
Everyone thought about it for a while after seeing it, but still couldn't figure out what was strange about it.
"There are clearly five elite monsters, but there were no elite monsters on the first night. Now it's the second night, and an elite monster has appeared."
Number 2: "Does this mean that one elite monster will be added every day from now on, until all the elite monsters are deployed, plus the final boss?"
Number 5: "So... Captain, you mean we should take the initiative and kill the BOSS before all the elite monsters have appeared?"
Number 1: "Here's what I'm thinking. We can't do anything during the day, so at night, we'll go straight to the top floor to kill the BOSS. Do you think the other ghosts will rush to the top floor to protect the BOSS?"
Number 5 muttered to himself, "I think the BOSS doesn't need protection; it's us who need protection."
Number 2 gritted his teeth and said, "How about we give it a try? Buy a puppet item and send it to the top floor to attack the BOSS?"
Number 5: "Maybe it's possible, but do we really want to try? Puppet equipment isn't cheap."
Even though she had earned so many points before, she still felt very distressed, since she had already planned how to use them.
Number 1: "Then let's wait and see tomorrow night. If the ghosts scattered throughout the company building don't go to the top floor when the BOSS is attacked, then we'll carry out... the decapitation operation!"
Everyone agreed, but if all the ghosts went, they would have to abandon the plan immediately.
Number 2, "We've already calculated the attack range of this elite monster. Its ability's effective range is roughly within five meters of itself. Anything within five meters of it can be crushed or shaped at will."
Just like before, they could simply tear off the door panel, crumple it into a ball, and with a light flick of their wrist, that lump of steel and wood could be hurled at them.
Number 1: "Five meters...that's a decent distance. What do you guys think we should do against him?"
Everyone gathered together and brainstormed possible solutions.
Number 5, "If you use long-range weapons, any bullet, no matter how fast it's going, can be detected within five meters. So you can't engage in close combat, and you can't engage in long-range combat..."
Number 3, "What about using invisible attacks? Can he control invisible things? For example, sound waves and electrical energy?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. That's right, this elite monster can manipulate tangible things, but it definitely can't do anything intangible, right?
If he can truly control both, then he shouldn't be an elite monster, but rather the boss of this dungeon. Although they haven't confirmed this yet, it's almost certain.
Lin Leyou watched with great interest as they typed away on their phones. Of course, he couldn't see the words on the screen, but sometimes they complained that typing was too slow and would just speak instead.
Although Lin Leyou only heard bits and pieces of their conversation, he could roughly understand what they were saying and their plans afterward.
Their initial plan was to find ordinary ghosts, kill a few to earn some points, and buy some time to see if this elite monster would reveal other abilities when fighting other players.
After gathering all the intelligence, we will discuss how to deal with this elite monster. If they are capable of killing it, they will give it a try. If they feel it won't work, they will seek help from other players. In any case, we will definitely have to confront this elite monster.
Number 5: "Shall we give it a try now? We also have other types of weapons. I got a sonic attack before, and I don't know if poison gas will work..."
Number 1, "Poison gas... If he can control the airflow within five meters of himself, then we'll be the ones who suffer."
Number 5 said awkwardly, "Okay, let's put this method aside for now and try out this sonic attack first. If it works well, we'll stick with this."
Number 1: "Okay, let's go and give it a try. This elite monster seems to be getting stronger after it ate a few players and ordinary NPCs."
Number 2: "Speaking of which, his attack range seems to have increased. If it was five meters before, it seems to have increased by a few centimeters now. Everyone be careful and don't push it to the limit, lest you capsize unexpectedly."
Number 3, "How many centimeters?"
Number 2: "It's about ten centimeters. Everyone, please be careful. Even if we can't succeed, we must ensure our own safety. If we get killed..."
Everyone understood this principle and nodded in agreement.
