Chapter 401 [(*^▽^*)]
They're not stupid; by now they've pretty much figured out why things have turned out this way.
"I knew I shouldn't have made that commotion. I really didn't expect that little bitch had a life-saving gadget hidden away. Why didn't you ask her about it before?"
The other person frowned slightly. "I have calculated all the points she earned and the items she obtained. There shouldn't be any extras, unless... unless she obtained them by chance without my knowledge and has been keeping them hidden."
"Haha! It seems she's not as completely obedient and trusting of you as you said!"
Xue Rui watched them chatting and laughing even while being chased and wondered if they had any sense of danger.
Oh! He definitely feels a sense of crisis, but probably not much, otherwise, why would he have the mind to say these things? For some reason, he felt something was strange.
Li Qianqian… He had never met her before. She and her ex-boyfriend only fell out when they encountered an elite monster, so their relationship should have been good before that, but…
When I met with them on the first floor to discuss how to cooperate in killing the elite monsters, their relationship wasn't as sweet as it seemed before things turned sour.
Xue Rui stared at the screen and touched his chin. Had he misunderstood? Or was he overthinking things?
Forget it, let's see how they deal with this elite monster first. If they can severely injure it, they can try to steal the monster later.
Anyway... he felt no guilt whatsoever for stealing the monsters from those two people.
Sichuan peppercorns: "Wow! They brought out their props! Let me see, let me see... What props are they? Hey? A whip? This whip looks really powerful, it's crackling with lightning!"
Li Qianqian said through gritted teeth, "This is the Thunder Whip I bought, and it's the most expensive item I have. It cost 200,000 points. This whip is crackling with lightning. If you get hit by it, you'll be paralyzed for a while. As for how long the paralysis lasts, it depends on how strong the person's constitution is."
Zhou Feng looked on incredulously. "If that's the case, then isn't it the most inappropriate thing to use this Lightning Whip to deal with this elite monster?"
Just by looking at the appearance of this elite monster, you should know how powerful its physique is!
Everyone present was shocked. Wouldn't it be more effective to just take any speed-up potion?
As a result, the opponent ran while frantically whipping the items behind them with a lightning whip. These items were slightly lifted when hit by the lightning whip and then fell to the ground. Moreover, their surfaces were covered with some lightning. The elite monsters chasing behind did not even look at them, and simply flipped them aside with their hands, kicked them aside with their feet, and even shoved them aside with their bodies, without any effect of stopping them.
"Don't use it if it's not working! Even spraying it directly on him won't work!"
"Then I'll put it away. I didn't expect this lightning whip to be so useless. I should have saved up more points to buy a better one!" He put away the weapon, the whip, with a sullen expression.
On Xue Rui's side, everyone glanced at Li Qianqian with some subtle expressions. They didn't expect that the props she bought with the 200,000 points she had painstakingly accumulated would receive such a review.
These two didn't actually have a good solution. Killing an elite monster completely isn't that simple. Last night, Xue Rui and his team only succeeded by using the Sichuan pepper item to deal with that elite monster.
To be honest, the points she got from Huajiao were far less valuable than the item. The only reason she was willing to use it was to clear the dungeon and get the reward of 50,000 points!
This is exactly what she wanted! Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been willing to use that prop.
"They were frantically pulling out bombs!" Fang Hong blinked, then said, "I can do that too."
The two men were running ahead, frantically throwing grenades behind them, almost two with every step they took. Of course, these were the cheapest, unpackaged grenades.
Fang Hong shook her head, "These grenades weren't even effective against yesterday's elite monsters, will they work today?"
Sichuan peppercorn: "Something feels off. What floor are we on now?"
Li Qianqian looked around and said, "We're on the twelfth floor now, and we're still going down. We'll probably be at an even lower level soon."
After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone, especially Xue Rui, since he was the captain. Everyone's attention was focused on the monitor, watching how these two scoundrels used insignificant attacks to slow down the elite monster behind them, but of course, it was all in vain in the end.
There were many grenades, and they were indeed powerful when they exploded, but they were completely useless in stopping elite monsters. The power of the explosions was like a tickle to them.
Huajiao suddenly pointed at the monitor and said, "He slipped just now and almost fell. It was so funny! It would have been great if he had actually fallen and been killed by an elite monster. That would have been perfect for you, Qianqian!"
Li Qianqian smiled slightly and nodded slowly, "Yes! Thank you..."
She spoke quite softly, her head slightly lowered, looking embarrassed, probably shy. Of course, when she said thank you, her gaze briefly passed over Xue Rui.
Who among those present wasn't a shrewd person? They naturally noticed such gazes, even Xue Rui noticed them, but he remained unmoved.
The other team members exchanged glances, all seeing the mocking look in each other's eyes. Even Ding Baishuang, whose face had been icy cold, glanced at them.
Li Qianqian noticed that Xue Rui wasn't looking at her, and felt a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered.
No one said anything after seeing it. After all, Li Qianqian wasn't their teammate yet, so they couldn't joke around with her. Besides... was it really okay to joke about the captain?
You should know that he is not only the captain, but also the head of the Xue Group in the real world, and has a deep relationship with the country's Special Cases Administration Bureau!
Although he was only eighteen years old, he exuded the same imposing aura as a seasoned veteran general! He was incredibly dignified! Even Zhou Feng, a middle-aged man, didn't dare to put on airs in front of Xue Rui.
As they watched, everyone got bored. "These two can really run! The elite monsters chasing them are actually getting further and further away?"
Sichuan peppercorns: "I'm starting to yawn, should I take a nap first?"
Zhou Feng: "Something just feels off."
Fang Hong agreed, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Ding Baishuang said, "Sneaking around with monsters?"
Everyone looked at Ding Baishuang, and then at the monitor. If this were in a game, it would indeed look like she was kiting monsters, like a tank attracting the boss's aggro!
Just then, Xue Rui suddenly stood up. Before anyone could react, a dagger appeared in his hand, and he slashed it towards Li Qianqian's neck.
A cold glint of light flashed, and Li Qianqian touched her severed neck in shock. Warm blood was gushing out from there.
Li Qianqian stared intently at Xue Rui, as if asking him why he did this, but Xue Rui, with a cold face, continued to chop off the two hands she was about to place on the prop with his dagger! He picked them up with the dagger and threw them into a corner.
No one reacted for a moment. Xue Rui tossed the monkey doll that had been used to kill Li Qianqian into a corner, put away the props Li Qianqian had just used, and said, "Leave immediately and go downstairs!"
No one asked any questions or made any inquiries; they simply followed Xue Rui's instructions. They deftly opened the windows and once again descended to the first floor from the building's exterior wall.
Xue Rui was the last to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly paused, took something out of his backpack, and put it into Li Qianqian's mouth before leaving.
As they descended, they noticed the elite monster was on the 28th floor! Li Qianqian had just said it was on the 12th floor? And they're still going down?
This elite monster is clearly on the 20s floor and is still going up. At its speed, if they don't retreat now, they'll be on the same floor as the elite monster in less than a minute!
When that time comes, even if they want to escape, it probably won't be that easy!
Huajiao breathed a deep sigh of relief. "What's going on? This Li Qianqian..."
Zhou Feng said, "It seems like they're after us. The story about these two being chased by elite monsters isn't true."
Fang Hong: "This Li Qianqian is a computer expert. Could it be that the footage we just saw was prepared in advance by her, just to target us?"
Ding Baishuang didn't speak, but looked at Xue Rui.
Xue Rui pondered for a while and said, "I didn't think so much about it at first, but after seeing the ring on her hand, I realized that I had seen this ring before."
Sichuan peppercorns, "Where have I seen them before?"
Xue Rui glanced at her. "I've seen that ring on this woman's hand before!"
"Could it be the other members of the Xue family? They actually chased us into the dungeon?"
Zhou Feng: "Xue Qian is also a player; he probably used items to bribe these people!"
Huajiao swallowed hard, realizing something. "Could it be... that these three have been acting all along? Where are the other two now?"
"And another thing, since what we just saw was fake, does that mean the elite monsters weren't chasing those two people?"
Xue Rui denied this, saying, "It's true that the three of them were acting, but the elite monster was indeed chasing them. My earlier speculation about being able to remember the other party's movements and track them is also correct."
"The elite monsters have already chased those two to the thirty-first floor. Just one more floor up is where we were just now. What do you guys think?"
Fang Hong slammed her fist on the wall in anger. "Good heavens, everything else is real, but the surveillance footage is fake. It looks like we're going down, but we're actually going up, letting the elite monsters kill us!"
Xue Rui said, "In the future, we can no longer rely solely on one person's monitoring to judge the status of the copy."
He was watching Li Qianqian's surveillance footage while also keeping an eye on the mechanical spiders he had released, and it was only by comparing the two that he discovered the flaw.
