Chapter 397 [(*^▽^*)]
Two hours is actually not a short time, but Lin Leyou always found it very amusing to watch Elite Monster 05 chasing after it and always losing it.
As the time drew to a close, Lin Leyou withdrew his attention from the area below and focused entirely on waiting for the near-elite monster's transformation. He could clearly sense the remaining time needed for this ghostly creature to transform within the same room.
With about two and a half minutes left, Lin Leyou squinted at the black gale outside the window.
With two minutes left, he couldn't help but smile.
With one minute left... Lin Leyou's dark red eyes slowly turned and shifted to the ghost that was about to become an elite monster.
There's only half a minute left! Lin Leyou is ready. He won't wait until the last second; he can make his move when there are about ten seconds left, since timing is what he dislikes the most.
The danger of holding the checkpoint is too great; a slight mistake could lead to failure, which is not what he wants.
Time ticked by, and Lin Leyou counted down the seconds. Ten seconds left, time to make a move!
At that moment, he reached out his hand towards the ghost that hadn't reacted at all. His black fingernails grew longer and sharper the instant he reached out, and even his fingers became somewhat eerie.
The last thing the ghost saw was his master's outstretched hand, especially the sharp, black fingernails, which were probably the most memorable thing for him.
Under Lin Leyou's control, the ghostly creature gradually rotated and shrank. Its huge mouth in the middle began to twist and curl into a small ball of flesh. The black mist surrounding it also began to churn and swirl, gradually shrinking into the small ball of flesh.
As the mist entered, the little fleshy ball gradually darkened in color, until after the last wisp of mist was inhaled, only a glossy black bead remained floating there.
Lin Leyou waved at the bead, and the bead obediently flew over and slowly landed in his palm. This is the weapon/prop?
The originally enticing fragrance suddenly intensified more than tenfold when the bead landed in his palm! It even made Lin Leyou dizzy for a moment. How could it smell so good?
Lin Leyou could even feel his saliva secreting rapidly, and a voice seemed to be shouting in his head, "Eat! Eat him!"
Startled by this change, Lin Leyou immediately threw the bead into his backpack. The maddening fragrance vanished, and the voice in his mind stopped abruptly, as if nothing had ever happened.
The surroundings seemed to fall completely silent at that moment, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his backpack to check the details of the bead, but the system did not respond even after he asked to check it several times.
Is it angry? Or does it feel like it's seen through its tricks, and is therefore getting angry out of embarrassment?
Lin Leyou wasn't in a hurry. After waiting a few minutes, she checked again, and this time she could check it. So, was she no longer angry?
"Summoning Bead: A purple-grade item that summons an elite ghost monster to devour it until it is killed or the current dungeon ends. It can only be summoned once per dungeon and can only be controlled by Tiancheng!"
Very good. This summoning orb absolutely cannot be used in the real world, because the elite monsters summoned by it are completely beyond your control. Only the BOSS Tiancheng can control it!
Wait a minute! If you can't control yourself, then using the Black Makeup Mirror to transform yourself into Tiancheng means you can control it, right?
That's not right either. Even if it were possible, the black mirror contains the innate transformation, but it can only be used once. Is it just for this one time to bring the summoning orb into the real world?
Forget it, this thing is too difficult to make, so I won't bring it to the real world. Besides... there are no dungeons in the real world, and the summoning orb might not even work in the real world!
And this last one... although it's just text, it seems to be full of anger. Is he really that angry? Isn't it normal to get items in the dungeon?
Lin Leyou was still a little annoyed and angry. He asked calmly, "System, other residents can take all the items they can from the dungeon while doing tasks, so why can't I? If I can't take them, just set it so I can't take them..."
"Why is it that the item is supposed to be takeable, but I can't take it? What's the contradiction? Is it just targeting me?"
After he asked these questions, the system did not respond. Lin Leyou was just trying it out and did not really want to get answers from the system.
If he answers, that's great; if he doesn't, it's fine too.
After sitting there for a while, Lin Leyou got up and walked to the back room, which was the monitoring room. He still wanted to see what was happening below.
Ten mechanical spiders were clearly not enough, so his attention immediately turned to the players and the ghosts. The elite monster's trail... had been found!
Xue Rui's five-person team is currently talking to several other teams in a corner on the first floor.
Are you telling the truth?
"If that's true, then the corpses of the ghosts we killed before weren't wasted? Were they eaten by other ghosts?"
"No wonder I was wondering why the ghosts were stronger than the ones from the previous two days. So that's why. Looks like we can't let them eat us anymore."
"What do we do now? Is the corpse of the ghost we just killed still there?"
"It should be gone. Didn't we pass by it again before? I took a look, and there was nothing there. I thought the ghost's corpse would dissipate on its own, but I didn't expect it to have been eaten by other ghosts."
"This isn't the time to talk about that. What are you planning to do with that elite monster?"
"My God, you can't fight this head-on at all, you're doomed. The only option is to run. I encountered this once before, we split up and ran, but he came after me! Luckily I'm fast."
"Hey... that elite monster from yesterday seems to be dead. Do you guys know who killed it?"
Everyone shook their heads. "We didn't see it. That elite monster was too fast. Our items couldn't keep up. In the end, we found its corpse."
"If we can find this player team, we might be able to learn from them and maybe find a way to deal with today's elite monster."
"Hurry and think of a solution, my brain isn't working properly!"
Zhou Feng said, "Even if we find it, it won't be of any use. After all, the elite monster from yesterday and this one from today are clearly not the same type. Yesterday's methods won't work today."
"That's not how it works. After all, the other party is an experienced person. Asking is always better than knowing nothing, right? But... I doubt they'll admit it."
Sichuan peppercorns, "Why won't you admit it?"
"What's the big deal? Killing elite monsters will definitely give you a lot of points, and... maybe they'll drop item cards! I wonder what kind of item cards they will drop."
They have points, but item cards? They definitely don't have any item cards; they haven't seen any!
I hadn't thought of that before, but now that I think about it, that elite monster yesterday was really stingy! It didn't even give me any item cards! Maybe it's because they didn't fight head-on, but won the battle by trickery, so they only gave me points.
But... it would be good enough if we could just kill them, right? Are they trying to live too long by fighting head-on?
"That elite monster is on the twelfth floor. What should we do? Should we team up and kill it?"
"Most importantly, he's too fast. Even with speed-boosting drugs, we can't fight him head-on. If we encounter him, we can only run!"
"Strength is secondary, as long as you don't get hit, the most important thing is speed, and also his roar, you all heard it just now, right?"
They not only heard about it, but they also saw the collapsed floors. It was truly shocking, even more so than yesterday!
Xue Rui, "Should we all work together to kill this elite monster?"
The other players remained silent. If you asked them if they wanted to kill it, of course they did; an elite monster was worth a lot of points! But with so many people sharing the points, there probably wouldn't be many left.
Is it just a single team going to kill it? It would be great if they could actually succeed and take all the points, but those elite monsters are simply beyond the capabilities of a single team!
More importantly, there are five elite monsters. If the one from yesterday didn't die, they will have to face two elite monsters at the same time today!
So if we don't kill them today, then they'll have to face two of them tomorrow. They'll have to face them eventually anyway. So why don't we all take a little risk together today?
If they can kill this elite monster, they'll only have to face one tomorrow! Although there are still three more to come, and even a final boss, they have no choice but to grit their teeth and keep going.
Lin Leyou watched them discuss how to deal with the elite monster, completely unaware that there were surveillance cameras in the building that were invisible to the naked eye.
They destroy all the visible surveillance cameras after 6 PM every night, but what's the point? Ghosts don't use surveillance; the real users are the BOSS, but the BOSS has his own surveillance system!
Xue Rui suddenly said, "The elite monster went berserk after its roar just now, and it's already on the eighth floor while we're on the first floor. How long do you think it will take it to get from the eighth floor to the first floor?"
This statement shocked everyone. At the other person's speed, how long would it take to get from the eighth floor to the first floor? Probably less than two or three minutes. They could even hear the other person's footsteps now!
Zhou Feng: "Should we start making preparations now? We can attack him when he arrives."
Xue Rui said, "He's in a berserk state right now, so it's not suitable to gang up on him. Let's wait until his berserk state subsides before we leave. If this elite monster can't find any prey on the first floor, it will definitely go up again. Once it goes up, we'll come back down to the first floor to meet up. What do you all think?"
