Chapter 483 [(*^▽^*)]
The man did not answer immediately. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had really left the ghost wall. Then he looked around anxiously. When he did not see any familiar monsters, he collapsed to the ground. Only then did he realize what it meant to have survived a disaster.
"I encountered a giant, millstone-sized spider with a hideous face here, and it's incredibly fierce!"
"What? Ghost-faced spider? Right... Young Master Xue mentioned the Ghost-faced spider before, a very ominous creature. I didn't expect you to actually encounter it, especially inside a ghost wall."
"I have a feeling this attack is unusual. It seems like these ghosts planned it. Do you think we should go back now? That way we might save our lives?"
Then someone asked, "When you escaped, was the ghost spider still alive? If everyone else was dead and you were the last survivor, would the ghost wall disappear automatically when you left? If the ghost spider inside was still alive, would it come out with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the room. Everyone's eyes were on the man, who breathed a sigh of relief. "Although he's not dead yet, he's been severely injured. He only has one ghost face left on his back, and three of his spider legs have been cut off. If he really comes out, he'll definitely be no match for us."
Although everyone's mood improved slightly, they were still worried after learning that the Ghost-Faced Spider was still alive. "It hasn't come out yet, and we don't know when it will."
"If this ghost-faced spider eats people, will it recover quickly?"
Everyone fell silent again. Although some people had escaped, more than thirty people had died inside. If it devoured all the corpses, would the heavily injured Ghost-faced Spider recover to its peak condition? Even if not its peak, wouldn't it at least recover nearly half of its strength?
Will they still be able to handle it then?
"Don't be afraid, I still have a little bit of pure Yang blood left. If the Ghost-faced Spider comes out, we can use this. It's what we had left over from before."
"This is good, this is good. I wonder when the gang leader and the others will be able to come out."
Just then, several more people ran out from the thick fog over the cemetery. They were stunned for a moment when they saw them, and then they realized that they had come out!
"Are you out yet?"
"Of course you're out. Come over here quickly and let me bandage you up."
They used every instrument, professional equipment, or special item they had, and only when they confirmed that they were no longer trapped in the ghost wall did they finally relax.
"It's alright, it's alright, it's finally all over."
The group that came out first counted, and there were actually twelve people this time, which was quite a lot.
While applying the medicine, they casually asked, "Is this all the people who came out?"
"We have three groups of people here."
Upon hearing this, the twelve people who had just come out were stunned. "Group Three... Group Three?!"
After a brief explanation, the group suddenly realized, "So, we were divided into about twenty groups, and you nine are the survivors from three groups of nearly a hundred people?"
“Yes, we each encountered…” They briefly exchanged information about what they had encountered, and when they mentioned the ghost-faced spiders that were still alive, the newcomers’ expressions turned grim.
"These ghost-faced spiders love to eat people, both the living and the dead. While eating corpses can indeed heal injuries, eating living people is more effective and can increase the number of ghost faces on their backs."
"What should we do? Should we continue to wait or go to Xiushan Village first? I estimate that this attack on us was carried out by elite monsters or a BOSS organization here. Going to Xiushan Village now might not be too difficult."
After some internal struggle, they decided to abandon the decision. The reason was simple: each of them had injuries, some minor and some serious. Sending such an injured team to Xiushan Village would be tantamount to suicide.
It's better to wait here for those who can still get out, and then set off after gathering all the survivors. This way, we'll have a higher chance of success. This place is so terrifying, who knows what might be hidden in Xiushan Village!
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui observed these people from the shadows, but did not make a move. They quietly watched the situation on their side, and then glanced away at the cemetery.
Soon, more people came out in batches and joined the group. Lin Leyou calculated based on the batches of these people, and if they were divided into twenty groups, then sixteen of the ghost walls should have disappeared. At this time, the number of red dots in the thief pit behind them had increased to two hundred and thirty-three.
Lin Leyou said, "Among those who are still alive, the leader and deputy leader of the Kowloon Gang have come out, but we haven't seen Xue Qian yet. We don't know if he's dead or if he's been dumped in a thief's pit."
Xue Rui: "They should still be trapped in the maze."
Lin Leyou and his group have heard countless system notifications about increasing their points during this time. With so many people, each person really gets 500,000 points. If they really manage to clear the level…
He was quite concerned about the points, but Xue Rui was more concerned about Xue Qian now. This person had changed so much that it made him feel a great sense of crisis.
Lin Leyou said, "Maybe we've mistaken him for someone else. It's obvious this person can't be Xue Qian. If he were that capable... I wouldn't have been able to outmaneuver him before."
Xue Rui narrowed his eyes. If Xue Qian was really that powerful, he might not even be able to beat him in the real world. Therefore, he had to be 100% sure that this person was not Xue Qian, otherwise he would not feel at ease.
"These thieves used to call him Young Master Xue."
Lin Leyou remained silent. He had heard the title before; he was being addressed as Young Master Xue. Everyone in this instance used their real names, so this person must also be surnamed Xue in the real world.
As the ghost walls on the other side of the graveyard broke down one by one, the people trapped inside were all freed and reunited with their other surviving companions.
Lin Leyou counted them and said, "There are 152 people still alive here."
Xue Rui looked at the grave of thieves. "There are 392 red dots in the grave. Subtracting the 32 that were thrown in earlier, that means there are 360 more this time. There were 120 people killed in the graveyard just now."
Lin Leyou said, "It seems that the village chief and the others still like living people. If we kill more of these people, even if we fail the mission in the end, we can still go back safely."
After listening, Xue Rui roughly calculated, "At first there were ninety people, excluding the two of us, that made eighty-eight. Then another one hundred were added, and now there are six hundred and thirty-five more. In total, there are more than eight hundred people. Each one gets 500,000 points, which is more than four hundred million points... And if we fail the mission, we only need to deduct two hundred million."
"In other words, if we only need to kill more than half of these people, even if our mission fails, we can still..."
Lin Leyou nodded, "I think that's unlikely, but we have indeed received the points. The 155 people we killed before plus the 120 this time have given us more than 130 million points. That means we need about 70 million more points, which means we need to kill about 140 more people to be completely safe. Should we go and discuss it with the village chief and the others?"
Xue Rui said, "If we go and talk to them, the village chief and the others will definitely agree, but..."
Lin Leyou sighed, "I know what you're worried about. Actually, I'm worried too. If it were really that simple to completely avoid the risks, this dungeon wouldn't be an SS-level difficulty dungeon at all."
Xue Rui nodded, "That's what I mean. I always feel that... from the very beginning, our mission has been progressing in a way that's a bit unsettling, like it's not real."
Lin Leyou said, "Never mind that for now. Look, Xue Qian has appeared. Let's observe him carefully."
Xue Rui's gaze also fell on Xue Qian, but Xue Qian was very perceptive. If they kept staring at him, he would consciously turn his head and look around, as if he was looking for something.
This meant that the two of them could no longer look in that direction freely. If Xue Qian noticed their hiding place, it would be a big problem. Although they had weapons, there were still only two of them.
Xue Qian must be a player; he has items and so many people cooperating with him, so the two of them might not have an easy time.
Xue Qian was talking to the gang leader and deputy gang leader. All three of them looked rather grim, but Xue Qian hid it well, though his eyes were somewhat deep.
"Now, including the three of us, there are a total of 152 people left. We came with 635 people, and we haven't even reached Xiushan Village yet, and we've already lost so many brothers. Xue Qian, Xue Qian, if this treasure of Xiushan Village isn't as valuable as you say, be careful we turn against you."
The speaker was the deputy leader, and he looked at Xue Qian with a very unfriendly gaze.
Xue Qian remained expressionless. "I remember telling you many times beforehand that Xiushan Village was dangerous. Whether you came or not was your own decision. Why are you blaming me now?"
The gang leader took a deep breath and grabbed the vice gang leader who was trying to cause trouble for Xue Qian. "Don't cause trouble. Everyone is injured or dead now. Think about what to do next. This is not the time for fighting and infighting!"
At this moment, Lin Leyou said softly, "I heard someone call Xue Qian over there."
Since he had heard it, Xue Rui naturally heard it too. "It really was him."
Lin Leyou said, "Now that his identity has been confirmed, his current change is probably related to special items. Otherwise, there is no other explanation. Let's observe him for a while longer. It's not advisable to make a move now."
Xue Rui nodded, "I know. We've endured this for so many years, it won't make a difference if we do it again."
Lin Leyou glanced at him and gently patted his shoulder, "I wonder how the village chief and the others are doing."
