Chapter 685 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Qian stared intently at the female player in front of him, as if he wanted to kill her the next second, but it was no use, as there were four other players watching him intently.
After thinking it over, he could only use his talent, because he really didn't want to fail. If they hadn't taken him along, he definitely wouldn't have let them have it so easy.
His talent isn't just about resetting... He can also cancel the reset within one minute of using it. However, canceling the reset doesn't restore the number of uses of the talent, so he would never have considered canceling the reset when he used it on himself.
Once the item's reset effect is canceled, all subsequent effects from using the item will disappear. If these people won't let you have an easy time, then you shouldn't expect to live either.
Xue Qian released his hand. "That's enough."
After checking the items, the female player found that they had indeed been reset. Somewhat shocked, she returned the items to the person next to her, saying, "They really have been reset."
The male player who took the item smiled and said, "Since you trust me, I naturally won't leave you up there. Come on, there are still more than three hours until the dungeon ends. If possible, let's stay down here until the dungeon ends."
"No objection."
"Can."
"Let's go, the island is about to be flooded."
After using the item, the six of them disappeared from the island. They must be somewhere underground now. Hopefully, they have enough air to breathe.
I don’t know if it was because there was no one on the island, but the waves that looked so fierce just now gradually calmed down before reaching the island. Although they still caused some impact on the edge of the island, they did not cover the entire island.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui, "..."
To be honest, they were both speechless. Was this really true?
Lin Leyou: "Can they hold out for more than three hours?"
About an hour later, Lin Leyou's Ghost Wall skill expired, and the cooldown time was also over. However, Lin Leyou did not use the Ghost Wall skill directly, but instead took Xue Rui for a walk on the island.
"A single instance of being trapped in a maze lasts for two hours. There are still two hours and twelve minutes left until the end of the dungeon. I will activate my talents after twelve minutes."
Xue Rui naturally had no objection. "In the last ten minutes or so, all sorts of things might happen in the instance, so it's good to be prepared now."
Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "They're still underground. I don't know if they can hear us."
Xue Rui said, "They probably don't know what's going on outside, otherwise... they would have been furious when they saw the waves gradually disappear."
Lin Leyou nodded with a smile. After all, the island had not been submerged again since then, even though the wind and rain were still as violent as ever.
In the midst of the raging storm, Xue Rui held Lin Leyou's hand, and the two of them, soaked to the bone, strolled along the island as if the island were still a place of azure sea and sky, and the two of them were walking on the beach.
Twelve minutes is a short time; they walked a short distance on the island and arrived.
Lin Leyou smiled and used his talent, Ghost Wall, once again, enveloping the two of them. Then, their figures disappeared from the island again.
Inside the maze, there was neither wind nor rain, but the gloomy weather remained unchanged. Xue Rui said, "If those six players can't hold on and come out, you..."
Lin Leyou said, "I know what you mean, to include all players except Xue Qian in the Ghost Wall area, right? I promise you, but... if they don't get close, then there's nothing I can do."
He knew that Xue Rui wasn't sympathizing with them; he just didn't want his mission to fail. Although he wasn't afraid of losing points, even if he did, he could quickly earn them back by renting gold-tier defensive items.
But Xue Rui clearly didn't think that way; he couldn't let the points he could get go to waste.
Of course, if those players don't show up, that's fine too; Lin Leyou can still complete the mission smoothly. Xue Rui is just doing this as a precaution.
However... those last two hours turned out differently than anyone had expected. The waves surged and rose and fell, but they did not submerge the island again.
Until there were only five minutes left...
Lin Leyou and his group then saw the six players who had been hiding all the time appear together on the island, at the very spot where they had disappeared.
Everyone's face was turning purple from holding their breath. They were lying or crawling on the ground, gasping for air in pain, unable to breathe freely despite the raging storm outside.
Some people even choked on the rain, but they still greedily breathed in the fresh air.
"I never expected... cough cough... to end up in such a sorry state... cough cough cough! Only a few minutes left!"
"It's alright, it'll only take a few minutes. There shouldn't be any problems. We can just wait."
"I...cough cough cough! I think there might be...something going wrong."
"Stop jinxing me, okay? I'm already doomed!"
Unfortunately, their prediction came true: with four minutes left, an earthquake struck the island!
"Was it just my imagination? Was there an earthquake?"
"I felt the earthquake too..."
Not only did I feel it, but the tremors became increasingly intense!
Soon someone realized, "Oh no, oh no... This island is actually a volcano? The volcano is about to erupt! Holy crap, how are we supposed to hide? Even if we're still hiding underground, we'll only be the first to die!"
"There's no other way but to go to the sea..."
"Are you kidding me? A volcanic eruption! Even if we go into the sea, the lava that erupts can boil the seawater and cook us alive!"
"That means there's nowhere left to run!"
"We're doomed, we're just waiting to die."
This turn of events was something neither Lin Leyou nor Xue Rui had anticipated. This natural disaster scenario started with a storm, followed by a tsunami, and finally a volcanic eruption.
This completely leaves the people on the island with no way to survive!
Even if they choose the right items and survive, the number of survivors will be very small. Moreover, these natural disasters keep coming one after another, and eventually the entire island will disappear!
The players over there had given up on trying to survive. After all, with the volcano erupting, they really had no way to escape. Where could they hide?
We've used all the usable tools; anything we haven't used won't help us in the current situation.
Even Xue Qian stared at the ground with bloodshot eyes. Then, he seemed to go crazy, walking around the island, shouting as he ran. No one knew what he was shouting, and he ran away like a madman.
"What happened to him? Could it be that he failed to clear the dungeon this time, and his score will be reduced to a negative number?"
"That must be it, otherwise they wouldn't have gone crazy in despair."
The five of them gradually walked away, determined not to see Xue Qian acting crazy any longer.
The other players didn't understand what Xue Qian was yelling, but Xue Rui knew he was shouting, "I know you're here! Get out here right now and save me, or I'll tell my dad!"
Lin Leyou roughly understood, "He's really shameless. He knows you two are sworn enemies, yet he still asks you for help. He must be really crazy. Could it be that he really doesn't have enough points?"
Xue Rui: "Impossible, I definitely have enough points."
He then pointed to several players who had walked into the vicinity of the "ghost wall" area. Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow, not wanting to waste any more time, since the volcano could erupt at any moment.
He then included all five players who were nearby in his "ghost wall" range.
The group was startled when two figures suddenly appeared in front of them. They quickly regrouped and backed away. "Who are you? How did you suddenly appear?"
Lin Leyou stood behind Xue Rui, with his back to them, while Xue Rui turned to look at them and said, "Staying here will allow us to safely clear the dungeon."
None of the five of them knew why, but the next second the volcano erupted.
"The island is gone!"
"The volcano erupted... Dead, dead... Huh? I'm okay!"
"What exactly is going on?"
Their gaze then turned to Xue Rui, "Is this your talent?"
Xue Rui didn't answer them, just said, "Stay put."
They all immediately shut their mouths and stopped talking. Although losing points wouldn't kill them, they would still feel bad about losing all the points they had accumulated over so long.
But now... there's a big shot here!
It's amazing that there are experts helping them clear the game. It would be even better if they didn't die. Not only would they not lose points, but they could also complete the mission, clear the dungeon, and get 25 million points. Is there anything better than this?
The only thing that puzzled them was the person standing behind Xue Rui with their back to them. The back of that person looked familiar; they must be a player they had seen at the hotel before.
Why is he facing away? Xue Rui is blocking most of the other person's figure.
They weren't the type to pry into things; they simply glanced at it a few more times before looking away and beginning to appreciate the volcanic eruption up close.
"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen a volcanic eruption this close."
"Just kidding, this is like standing on the crater of a volcano and watching it erupt. How could it not be the first time?"
"Quiet down, there's only one minute left. Watch carefully, and when the time is up, we'll clear the level!"
Everyone is now happily sitting together discussing the volcanic eruption, especially when they see the erupting lava actually boiling the surrounding seawater, they subconsciously swallow.
If it weren't for this expert, they would be roasted meat like the players who went crazy just now. Speaking of which, it's a real pity about that guy who went crazy just now. If he had stayed here, he might have been able to pass the level safely.
Lin Leyou was extremely satisfied with his Ghost Wall talent. He was as good as ever. Ghost Wall was no match for experts, but it could play an unexpected role in this kind of dungeon.
The instance ended amidst some turmoil, but also in a relatively peaceful manner.
