Chapter 386 [(*^▽^*)]
Why did this Number 1 suddenly appear when the elite monster was standing at the corner, and then run away? Was it deliberately lying in ambush for the elite monster to launch a sneak attack?
But it seems like he did nothing at all, and then he ran away, appearing right next to the elite monster and escaping right under its nose. What does that mean?
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Could there be some detail I haven't noticed? Oh well, let's wait and see. We'll definitely find out soon enough. There's no need to rush."
However, given their speed, it's impossible for the mechanical spiders to keep up. Let's just watch through the surveillance cameras. Although we can't see the whole thing, we can still roughly figure out the pursuit route.
Elite Monster 03 really wouldn't give up on this little treat. After chasing for more than ten minutes, 01 still couldn't shake off this ghost. It seems that it might be a bit difficult to get rid of it.
"Huh?" Lin Leyou suddenly sat up straight, looking at the elite monster 03 on the monitor. Was his ear bleeding again?
However, the elite monster seemed completely oblivious to this, continuing its excited pursuit of the fleeing player until... until the blood dripping from his ears fell onto his clothes, onto the hem, and even onto the ground. Only then did he pause for a moment upon seeing the blood.
Elite Monster 03 did not continue the pursuit. Instead, it stopped in place, blinked blankly, and then looked at the blood on its clothes. This blood was not the previous blood, but the current blood!
Just then, a few more drops of blood fell to the ground. He looked at the drops of blood on the ground and touched his ears as if he had a feeling. As a result, both of his ears were soaked with his own dark blood!
Not only that, he also felt something flowing out of his nose. He subconsciously wanted to touch his nose, but before he could touch it, several drops of blood rushed out of his nose and landed on his hand.
"Am I injured?"
He asked himself blankly, or perhaps he was asking someone else, "How did I get hurt?"
He began wiping the blood off his face repeatedly, but it was no use; the blood continued to flow from his ears, nose, and even his eyes.
Just then, Elite Monster 03 felt his mind go blank. "Oh no! I'm seriously injured!"
Time is running out. If this continues, he definitely won't survive an hour! The only way now is to grab as much food as possible; eating will allow him to recover on his own!
Although Elite Monster 03 has lost all trace of the food, it doesn't stop him from going berserk and going berserk once again.
After going berserk, the elite monsters began to attack indiscriminately, devouring anything human, dead or alive, except for ghosts!
He doesn't pick and choose what other ghosts have left over; he eats it all without any disgust!
The five-person team that had been watching him were also shocked by this scene. At this moment, the elite monster seemed to be in a true frenzy. Not only did it lick up the severed limbs, but it also licked the blood on the ground clean.
And as he continued to eat, his injuries seemed to actually improve.
The five had reunited. Number 5 was shocked by the scene. "What should we do? His current frenzied state is astonishing. If he searches the entire building at this speed and in this state, he might devour all the players."
Although they can hide, if all the other players are killed, they will inevitably die when facing the final boss, and ultimately fail to complete the game.
If they successfully pass the level, they will receive a reward of 50,000 points. With so many points, none of them are willing to give up!
Number 1: "In that case, let's start preparing now. He can't possibly have the energy to search the entire building. Judging from his eagerness, the damage from that item must be quite severe. We just need to wait a little longer before we can make our move."
As it turned out, his judgment was indeed correct. The elite monsters were frantically searching for food, but which player who had survived until now didn't have a monitoring device?
More or less, they all hid far away before the elite monsters attacked, so much so that the elite monsters couldn't find any food to eat for a long time afterward.
He searched layer by layer, becoming increasingly anxious as he couldn't find anything. Eventually, even the glasses he wore on his face disappeared without a trace. He continued to search for food while roaring and shouting wildly.
"Where is it! Where is it—"
His hair was disheveled, much of it sticking to his face. His eyes were fixed on the ground, and blood kept gushing from his eyes, nose, ears, and even his mouth. The ground he passed was covered with black, foul-smelling blood that could even corrode the ground.
The five-person team was right behind him, at a distance that would ensure they wouldn't be detected.
Number 5 looked at the ground corroded by black blood and felt a chill run down his spine. "If we really faced this head-on, we would have absolutely no chance of winning, right?"
This blood is poisonous! And it's highly poisonous!
Number 1, "He should be at his last gasp. Let's follow him now and find an opportunity to deliver the final blow. And... if I'm not mistaken, some players should already realize he's about to die and are probably thinking of delivering the final blow."
Number 5: "Holy crap! Stealing my monster? No way! We've wasted so many items to get this far. Anyone who dares to steal my monster, I'll kill them!"
The usually quiet and icy Queen No. 3 spoke up at this moment, "Anyone who dares to steal it, kill them!"
Number 5: "Hmm! I can't beat elite monsters head-on, but can't I beat other players?"
Their expressions were rather grim, because they realized that someone had indeed begun to spy on this elite monster! In that case, they shouldn't be blamed.
Even if the number of players besieging the BOSS decreases in the end, it doesn't matter, since the chance of killing the final boss is not high anyway. They are still mainly focused on collecting points.
Lin Leyou watched as the five-person team headed towards the elite monster, while another four-person team was already quietly trying to approach it.
The five-person team slowed down on their way there. After all, although the elite monster was badly injured, it still had some burst of power before it died. Going there now might kill it, but the chances of dying together with it were much greater.
Number 1: "Everyone, hide here first. The elite monster might refute this before it dies."
They are not newcomers. The stronger the monster, the more cunning it is. Especially those with intelligence, they are extremely cunning. Even if they die, they will pretend that they have no ability to resist, attract players to get closer, and then launch an area attack, just to kill more players and take a few down with them.
The five-person team, already seasoned by countless battles, was quite adept at this.
Seeing their caution, Lin Leyou nodded slightly. "Impressive. It seems that after I make my appearance, this five-person team and the previous three-person team will be the biggest threats. As long as we take them down, this mission will be a sure thing."
The four-person team had actually discovered this elite monster a long time ago, but it was too powerful, and they could only run away after a lot of effort, not daring to fight it.
But things are different now. They had accidentally discovered that the elite monster was already seriously injured, and there were no other player teams around.
Wouldn't this be like a low-health mini-boss delivered right to their doorstep by heaven?! If they ignore this, they'd really be fools!
Seeing their excited expressions, Lin Leyou couldn't help but sneer inwardly. These people thought they had gotten a bargain, but little did they know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and they were the mantis.
Moreover... this elite monster isn't a cicada, but a ferocious beast that can retaliate at any moment. Even if it dies, it will drag several players down with it!
Sure enough, the four-person team couldn't hold back.
"If we wait any longer and other players find out, won't we lose a lot of points? Elite monsters are so powerful, killing them will definitely give us a lot of points!"
"He's so weak now because another player team tried to kill him, but they were too badly injured and ended up getting wiped out by the monsters."
"This is a good opportunity, before anyone else discovers it... Captain!"
The captain hesitated because the elite monster did appear to be seriously injured, but it did not show any signs of dying. If they rushed in rashly, there could be bad consequences.
But he knew what his teammates were saying. This opportunity was very important. If other players found out and tried to steal the monster, they would lose the points from an elite monster for nothing!
An ordinary ghost is worth a few hundred points, so this powerful elite monster must be worth several thousand points, right? If the four of them split it, each of them could probably get a thousand points!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go for it! Everyone take out your items, remember the attack range of this elite monster's skill, and absolutely do not enter this range. All ranged attacks!"
"Okay, no problem! Everything's ready!"
"I have ranged weapons, and you all have them, right?"
"Everyone has ranged weapons, right? They're essential! Let's go, Captain!"
The captain breathed a sigh of relief. "We're all veteran players, so remember to get away from danger as soon as possible, or even run away, understand?"
Everyone nodded, and the team leader finally said, "Let's go!"
The four-person team quickly approached the location of the elite monster, but instead of attacking it within the range of its skills, they fired at it from a great distance.
When it comes to ranged weapons, guns are the most common, and they're sold in the system shop! They also come with matching ammunition, and you can choose the power level. If you have more points, you can buy the more powerful ones!
The bullets slowed down abruptly as they entered the opponent's skill range, eventually hovering in mid-air, so none of them could reach him, let alone cause him any damage.
