Not enough! One music box is far from enough.
Lira lightly traced her tongue across her teeth, a ruthless glint in her eyes. Since they needed to live anyway, why couldn't she take more?
Points, items, supplies...
The two foreign players on the ground clearly saw Lira's expression, and they felt as if they had been drenched in ice water. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do; items could be replaced, but lives were only given to them.
"Quickly, take us up there first. We'll talk about anything you want."
"Okay." Lira grinned.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to command the mutated vulture, Xiao Jin intervened.
A massive crescent-shaped blade of light sliced through the vulture's body, leaving a gash on its chest. The mutated vulture shrieked and, ignoring Lira's control, soared into the air, only to crash headfirst into the barrier.
"When did I say you could leave?" Xiao Jin coldly retorted.
Lira was dumbfounded, and the other two players were in despair.
A moment later, their eyes turned bloodshot, and they looked like they had nothing to lose.
"If you want us to die, you'll have to die with me..."
Ten minutes later, Xiao Jin's blade was still dripping with the blood of the mutated vulture, and the stench of blood whipped up the stray hairs on her forehead.
Yunye leaned against the broken marble pillar, his twin swords hanging at his sides, dark red liquid slowly seeping from the blood grooves on the blades—the blood of two foreign players.
"There's one left." Xiao Jin's pupils narrowed slightly as he stared at the last black-robed player hovering in mid-air.
The man rode on the back of a vulture, holding a bone flute in his hand. The flute's sound was sharp as a knife, urging more than a dozen mutated hyenas on the ground to charge wildly.
Yunye suddenly moved.
He darted into the hyena pack like a black lightning bolt, his twin blades slashing out in a silver cross, sending three hyenas' heads flying into the air.
Taking advantage of the moment, the black-robed player blew his bone flute, and the vulture's wings stirred up a hurricane, sending countless wind blades carrying rubble towards Xiao Jin.
"clang!"
Xiao Jin wielded his longsword, creating an impenetrable silver net. The wind blades collided with the sword's edge, sending sparks flying.
She suddenly pulled out the Wheel of Fortune, the silver barrel tracing a spiral trajectory in the moonlight.
"Bang!"
The freezing bullet struck the vulture's left wing precisely, and frost spread at an alarming rate. The black-robed player was horrified to find his robes frozen to the mount's back, while the vulture dragged him rapidly downwards.
"I'll take your head."
Xiao Jin leaped three meters into the air, his long sword flashing upwards like a crescent moon.
The mutated wren, along with the player on its back, was cleaved in two. The frozen flesh shattered like crystal, reflecting eerie light spots under the moonlight.
Meanwhile, Yunye was in crisis.
The reason was that when he killed two players earlier, one of their corpses suddenly exploded, and corrosive liquid splashed onto his left arm.
At this moment, the mutated corrosive vines in the shadows finally made their move—dozens of dark green vines burst forth from the ground, their tips secreting acid that corroded the ground, sending wisps of blue smoke rising from it.
"careful!"
Xiao Jin flung out a shadow dagger, which pinned the vines that were about to wrap around Yun Ye's ankle.
Yunye grunted, then thrust his twin swords into the ground with a backhand motion. Using the rebound force from the hilts, he somersaulted in mid-air, narrowly avoiding the vine net that descended from above.
The two exchanged a glance and suddenly rushed towards the corrosive vine at the same time.
Xiao Jin swept his longsword across, severing the pursuing vines, while Yun Ye pulled out an incendiary bomb and bit open the pin. The vines seemed to sense the danger, and all their branches frantically retracted, forming an impenetrable cocoon around the main body.
"Now!"
Xiao Jin suddenly turned his blade and plunged it into the ground, instantly deploying the [Desolate Barrier].
Crimson runes entwined the vine cocoon, draining its life force and causing it to visibly wither. Taking advantage of the situation, Yunye stuffed an incendiary bomb into a crack in the cocoon. As the flames exploded, Xiao Jin raised his hand and fired several freezing bombs.
Amidst the clash of ice and fire, the corrosive vines emitted a piercing scream resembling a human's agonizing cry. When the smoke cleared, only a pile of charred remains remained.
Xiao Jin bent down to pick up the Shadow Dagger, but suddenly turned to look at a shadowy spot: "Have you seen enough?"
The true form of the mutated corrosive vine fled frantically from underground, only to have its core pierced by the prepared Yunye twin blades. In the end, the hunter prevailed in this battle.

As the morning light pierced through the smoke of battle, the streets of the inner city were filled with the stench of blood and the atmosphere of turmoil.
Xiao Jin flicked the blood off his longsword, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
She walked side by side with Yunye. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no survivors in sight. Only the occasional mutated creature that sprang out from the ruins were swiftly killed by them.
"It seems the survivors are either hiding or already dead," Yunye said calmly, his twin swords twirling between his fingers, the blades still bearing traces of blood from the previous battle.
Xiao Jin didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly. Her gaze swept across both sides of the street, and suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past the corner.
"Foreign players?" She narrowed her eyes, and in a flash, she closed in.
It was a blond, blue-eyed man holding a short crossbow, aiming at a target in the distance.
However, when he sensed Xiao Jin approaching, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned deathly pale.
"It's...it's that evil spirit!" he growled in terror, then turned and fled.
It turns out that the foreign players who were planning to take advantage of the chaos in the inner city all had their own contact information.
Before Lila and the other two died, they posted pictures of Xiao Jin and Yun Ye in the group chat, which many players saw.
Because Lila can control mutated creatures, he is incredibly powerful in this dungeon, and few other players can match him.
Even Lira died at the hands of Xiao Jin and his companion, so how could the other foreign players not run away!
Xiao Jin sneered, flicked his wrist, and the long sword flew from his hand, piercing through the man's back like a silver lightning bolt. The man groaned and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Yunye walked over, drew his sword, and handed it back to her, saying calmly, "It seems our reputation spreads quite quickly."
Xiao Jin took the knife, wiped away the blood, and calmly said, "That saves trouble."
The two continued on their way, killing several more mutated creatures along the way, and even taking care of two foreign players who tried to ambush them.
Gradually, they discovered that when they encountered foreign players again, they would turn around and run away as soon as they saw them from afar, and even Xiao Jin sometimes couldn't react in time.
The two exchanged a glance.
Xiao Jin sighed: "Forget it, let's go find Gao Ya. I wonder how she's doing!"
“When I left, the eastern wall had already been completely breached. She’s on the front lines, so her situation probably isn’t very optimistic,” Yunye replied.
Xiao Jin nodded: "Let's go."
After saying that, the two quickly ran towards the gate.
