"It's a pity that only the internal buildings can be destroyed, but the outer walls and floors cannot. Otherwise, it would be much easier to just drill a hole and go up."
Mo Ran began to float up the stairs to the sixth floor. Before she even reached it, she heard a commotion coming down from above.
……………………………………………
"Holy crap! What's going on with this sixth floor? This place is way too cramped!"
"Rooms, rooms, still fucking rooms! This place is a maze, it's like a maze!"
Mo Ran's drone hovered above the crowd, its blinding light illuminating the surroundings, but only the area around them.
As far as the eye can see, there are rooms of all shapes and sizes. They are densely packed together, one after another, seemingly endless, with no end in sight.
These rooms vary in size and shape, some are incredibly spacious while others are cramped and narrow, and their placement is bizarre and unpredictable.
All the rooms are intertwined, densely packed together in a chaotic manner. Often, one room contains parts of one or more other rooms, like a bug caused by a data loading error.
Through the broken windows, one can clearly see that each room has several walls standing in it.
This resulted in the already small room being divided into several areas, further shrinking the space.
This layout resulted in a road only about one person wide enough for everyone to pass through.
This is precisely what terrifies everyone, because in every corner, in every darkness, a monster may suddenly leap out and deliver a fatal blow.
In addition, with such a cramped space, if someone in front is attacked, those behind have no room to provide rescue.
Therefore, this is a trap, a sinister trap that will scatter and separate everyone.
Moreover, since reaching the sixth level, not a single rusty straw man has been seen. The entire sixth level is unusually quiet, with only the continuous noise of the crowd.
Xiao Juan activated her superpower; her pupils instantly turned golden, and she began scanning forward continuously.
When her gaze fell upon a dark area, Xiao Juan was startled, and her pupils contracted sharply.
Under her supernatural observation, a pair of blood-red, malevolent eyes emerged from the darkness in that corner.
Immediately afterwards, an information panel appeared in front of her.
[Ghost Scythe Rotten Grass Man] (A-level)
Attack: High
Defense: Medium (Extremely High)
Speed: Relatively fast
Skills: Black Mist Possession, Corruption Slash, Sharp Howl, Corrosive Self-Destruction, Dark Teleportation.
Note: The Ghost Scythe Corrupted Grass Man can move freely in the darkness. Each time it appears, it will refresh the Black Mist Possession, which grants immunity to one fatal attack.
At the same time, death will cause a larger-scale explosion, and the pus produced by the explosion will have a strong corrosive effect, as will the mist that rises and evaporates.
………
Countermeasures:
Lure it into the light and attack it using ranged attacks; do not engage it in close combat.
Looking at the detailed information displayed before her, Xiaojuan was already on high alert. More and more panels appeared as her gaze swept across the screen.
Ignoring the stinging pain in her eyes, Xiao Juan hurriedly called out to Han Xue'er beside her.
"Sister Xue... Xue'er, retreat! Quickly get everyone out of here! All the monsters on this floor are A-rank [Ghost Scythe Rotten Grass Men], and there are a lot of them!"
"Xiao Juan, what did you say?!"
Han Xueer's face instantly showed a shocked expression, and the other students also showed expressions of fear.
Monsters are generally stronger than humans, even if they are at the same level. Without the aid of equipment, it is very difficult for a human to defeat a monster of the same level alone.
Although Han Xueer possesses SSS-level superpowers, she is currently just a fledgling bird that has not yet fully grown up.
Facing such a large number of A-rank monsters, going head-to-head with them would be suicide, let alone fighting in such a confined space.
"Ah! Help me... Ah!"
At that moment, a shrill scream suddenly rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person lying in pain at the doorway of a room, half of his body already submerged in the darkness beyond.
At this moment, he was holding a small box in his right hand and gripping the ground tightly with his left hand, struggling desperately to break free.
However, it seemed that some kind of demon lurked in the darkness, slowly pulling him into it.
"Help me! Help me...!"
Before he could utter any further cries, he was violently pulled inside by the monster in the darkness. The small box he had been holding rolled to the side, its lid opening as it rolled, revealing that it was empty.
"Damn it! I told him not to wander off, when did this guy break in?!"
"This guy deserved to die! He deserted the team and ran away before Boss Han even gave the order to fight!"
"What kind of monster is lurking in the darkness? The detection spell can't find any information about it!"
The people on this side began to panic. This was the first time they had seen someone die in front of them as they fought their way through the enemy lines.
The next second, Han Xueer's shout, which had been accompanied by the exertion of force, rang out.
"Everyone, retreat to the next floor immediately! Hurry! There are a lot of A-rank monsters on this floor!"
The first half of the sentence was not understood by the crowd, but the second half... everyone understood it.
"What! An A... AA-rank monster! Are you kidding me?!"
"Aren't these dungeons supposed to only have mobs and a boss? How come the B-rank monsters from before suddenly became A-rank in this level? And what about the final boss?!"
"Stop talking nonsense, run! That's an A-rank monster! That person must have been killed by it!"
Fear erupted instantly among the crowd, and everyone rushed towards the stairwell to escape.
This immediately caused congestion, with a large number of people stuck at the stairwell and unable to go down.
Everyone was shouting, cursing, and wailing, but this reaction from the crowd was perfectly normal.
Many people are at low levels like C or D, while a few better ones have reached B. But clearly, A-level monsters are something they can't possibly contend with.
Many people were willing to come up here because they were influenced by Han Xueer.
After all, she is an SSS-level powerhouse, and such a title makes people feel very safe just by hearing it.
But after Han Xueer shouted those words, everyone clearly realized it.
No matter how high or strong Han Xueer's supernatural abilities are, she's still just a novice. She hasn't fully matured yet, otherwise she wouldn't have ordered everyone to retreat.
The group tried to escape, but the already gathered scythe-covered grassmen were not about to give up.
The next second, several extremely piercing screams came from the darkness.
The sound reached everyone's ears, and everyone felt as if their brains were being pricked by countless needles.
He was instantly overwhelmed by pain and collapsed to the ground, clutching his head and rolling around on the floor.
