Chapter 420 [(*^▽^*)]
Some of the other players have already left together. The elite monster is still not moving near the elevator outside the staff restaurant, and other places are relatively safe.
No one wanted to stay outside any longer. After all, the wind outside was mixed with black fog, blowing fiercely against people. It was bearable for a short time, but after a while, no one could stand it. It was better to stay indoors.
Some players were even rubbing their arms; it was really cold, as if the wind could slowly take away their body heat.
Gradually, only the seven of them remained outside. Wang Fu's expression turned grave. "It's been almost an hour, and there's still no news from him. Could it be that even that item can't be used inside the elite monster's stomach?"
Huajiao shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case. It should be usable as long as you're still in the dungeon. Could something have tripped you up? Or has some other unexpected incident occurred?"
Zhou Feng: "Should we go inside now? It's getting too cold in this wind."
The wind, mixed with black mist, blew against our bodies as if ignoring all our clothes, drawing heat away from our flesh and bones. Even the most resilient people found it hard to bear.
Zhou Qiao: "I agree, I agree! Let's go inside quickly, it's too cold, I really can't stand it."
No one had any objections. There were a few players on the first floor just now, but now they've disappeared. They're staying on the first floor so they can escape outside if anything happens.
Huajiao sat on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief. "It's so much more comfortable inside. It's so cold outside!"
Fang Hong sat down next to her and rested against her. "Isn't that right? Touch my hands, they're ice cold."
Sichuan peppercorns actually touched it and said, "Can't feel anything? Oh right, we're both equally icy."
Zhou Feng leaned against the wall and looked up. Of course, he couldn't see anything. Now, there were only seventeen players, one elite monster, and the BOSS on the top floor left in the entire building!
Of course, one of the players was swallowed up, and it's unclear whether he's still alive inside. I'm really worried. If the captain dies, the four of them, while not useless, have little chance of surviving until the end.
First of all, the elite monster tonight is definitely unkillable. Tomorrow, this elite monster might appear alongside the boss. What's the point of playing then? Why not just commit suicide?
The elite monsters are all incredibly difficult, not to mention the bosses. To help players get familiar with the dungeon, it was stipulated that the bosses couldn't appear for the first five days, but today is already the fifth night.
The closer we get to tonight, the heavier everyone's mood becomes. What's the point of surviving tonight? Will we lose fewer points if we die a day later? You're kidding! We'll still lose the same amount of points.
Lin Leyou was also paying attention to Xue Rui's situation. He didn't know how Xue Rui was doing inside the elite monster's belly, but he could sense that Xue Rui was still alive.
As long as he's alive, that's fine. If he's really about to die, just let the elite monster spit him out. Lin Leyou was thinking of giving Xue Rui a backdoor, not caring at all. As for the elite monster...
He couldn't very well let that female secretary succeed and then come upstairs to duel him, could he? After all, he wasn't the BOSS himself, and he didn't know where the BOSS was, so he needed someone to take his place in a dungeon run.
Lin Leyou sighed. He hadn't killed a single player. There were only seventeen players left, and many of them knew Xue Rui. Should he make a move?
Killing one earns you 10,000 points. It's a pity I can't go downstairs for the first five days. So this is where the trap of getting 10,000 points per player is. All the easy ones have been killed in the first five days. By the time I get to play, they're all seasoned veterans.
The elite monster stood in front of the elevator for several hours, and Xue Rui also disappeared for a long time. Just when Zhou Feng and the others were about to give up, some commotion appeared in the staff restaurant.
Huajiao suddenly sat up. "There's movement!"
After observing the elite monster motionless for hours, they eventually got tired. After taking turns to doze off, there was finally some movement when it was Huajiao's turn to keep watch.
Everyone was instantly jolted awake and rushed to check the situation in the staff canteen. They found the elite monster clutching his stomach and rolling on the ground. However, this lasted for less than three seconds before he recovered and stood up steadily. He looked somewhat bewildered, as if he didn't know why he had just done that.
He touched his stomach strangely, then frowned slightly as if he was thinking about something. Finally, as if he realized that he had lost something, he began to look around with wide eyes.
As soon as he looked, his gaze met that of the players behind the devices monitoring him.
Sichuan peppercorn: "Something's strange. Why is this elite monster looking like its base has been raided?"
Zhou Feng: "Maybe their base really was raided! Let's hurry and find the captain; maybe he's already out!"
Ding Baishuang: "My surveillance equipment has detected three elite monsters on the thirty-third floor!"
They immediately sent the extra surveillance equipment to check the 33rd floor, but before they even got there, the elite monsters above charged down.
Sichuan peppercorns: "My God! These three elite monsters look like they've been run over."
The three elite monsters did emerge, but their bodies were completely mangled, with not a single piece of flesh intact. Even their heads were partially rotten, not to mention their bodies. The secretary's flesh below the chest had vanished, leaving only a body of rotting flesh reeking of black, decay, and a foul stench!
As she frantically charged toward devouring the elite monster, rotten flesh fell from her body all along the way. Even through the monitoring equipment, the players felt like they were being suffocated by the stench!
The other two are in slightly better condition, but only relatively speaking. In fact, their situation is still quite dire. Players who see them are very worried. Even if these three elite monsters join forces, can they defeat the new elite monster?
The players below were all focused on observing the battle between the elite monsters, but Lin Leyou had no time for that. He was currently worried because of Xue Rui…
The three elite monsters that had been swallowed all came out, and Xue Rui naturally came out as well, but he didn't appear in any other place, but in the office on the top floor.
Now they are separated by only one door. Lin Leyou is in the monitoring room inside, while Xue Rui is in the office outside. So will Xue Rui take this opportunity to come in?
It's nighttime now, and the BOSS has all its strength and skills. Will Xue Rui come in and try to kill him?
Looking at the surrounding furnishings, Xue Rui immediately recognized where this place was. He had secretly checked it out a few times before using the mechanical spider; it was the top floor, the BOSS's office.
His first thought was to get out of there as soon as possible, but then he realized that there was no sound at all, especially from the door behind him.
He knew nothing about what was behind this door in the entire building, and now the door was right in front of him. Should he open it or not?
If he opened it, he might see the BOSS now, but he would definitely die. Xue Rui didn't think he could escape the BOSS's attack alive. If he didn't open it...
It doesn't seem like a big deal? After all, it's been five days. The BOSS should show up by himself tomorrow, right? Shall we open the door now?
Xue Rui figured since he was already there, he might as well open the door and take a look. Leaving without opening it wouldn't guarantee his safety, and reason told him to leave as quickly as possible, but…
His hand was already on the doorknob, and the door opened the next second. Xue Rui had imagined many scenarios, but he never thought that when he pushed open the door, he would see a room full of surveillance screens, showing images of various locations in the building, especially the image of the four elite monsters gathering in the staff canteen.
There are surveillance cameras in so many places? Why didn't we see them before? Where are these cameras hidden? So, from the beginning until now, the BOSS has been watching all the players' actions?
The very next second, he was completely captivated by the person sitting in the chair with their back to him. This was the BOSS he had never seen since arriving in this dungeon, and the one that the players were ultimately meant to kill...
Lin Leyou had been waiting for a long time. He originally thought that Xue Rui wouldn't be so impulsive as to come and open the door, but he didn't expect that Xue Rui would actually come and open it. So, was he planning to start an epic battle with his BOSS right now?
Xue Rui looked at the back of the figure sitting in the chair and carefully took a step back. He knew that he was no match for the BOSS by himself. It was impossible that the BOSS had not noticed him, but still had not made a move. The only explanation was that the BOSS did not take him seriously yet.
So if he were to act quickly, he might still be able to leave. Lin Leyou noticed him retreating but didn't stop him. He just sat quietly in the chair until Xue Rui closed the door and left the top floor as quickly as possible.
Xue Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the 43rd floor. The 43rd floor was originally a forbidden area for players, since there were many elite monsters there, but now it was relatively safe for him.
Actually, it wasn't just Xue Rui; Lin Leyou, who was upstairs, also breathed a huge sigh of relief. "Phew... I was so scared. If Xue Rui had made a move, I would have had to fight him now."
"If we really fight, should I win or pretend I didn't catch him and let him get away?"
Fortunately, he left on his own. Lin Leyou relaxed completely, slumped into a chair, and continued to leisurely watch the surveillance footage. He really hoped that Xue Rui would not be so reckless in the future.
This time it was me who encountered myself. If it were another dungeon boss in the future, would I let him go so easily? Even if I didn't kill him, I would at least severely injure him!
Lin Leyou sat there fuming, thinking that although Xue Rui had indeed come of age and matured a lot, he was still impulsive at times.
After Xue Rui came down, he immediately confirmed the location of the elite monster's deadly battle. The new elite monster had thoroughly offended the first three elite monsters. If the two sides did not decide a life or death, they would absolutely not let it go!
