Hu San's body was thrown aside by Xuan Ming with a dull thud.
The cute-looking baby pouted and took two steps back, seeming to be somewhat disdainful of Hu San's weakness. Ouyang Yu did not even look at the corpse. Instead, the seemingly cold snake woman rushed over quickly, held Hu San's head on her knees, and stared at the face that was unwilling to close its eyes in death.
The bright red snake tongue in her mouth kept sticking out from between her sharp teeth, making a hissing sound at Xuanming, like a poisonous snake that would eat people at any time.
Ouyang Yu held her shoulders, pressing down slightly, signaling her not to act impulsively. Everyone here combined was no match for Xuan Ming.
"Why did you want to kill Hu San?" Ouyang Yu turned to look at Zhuang Li and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you know that if you kill him, your points will be added back?"
Xuan Ming walked in front of the little devil and blocked Ouyang Yu's sinister gaze.
Zhuang Li came out from behind him and said with a half-smile, "Sorry, I wasn't sure if the points I got from killing the bald guy would be added back. I just thought that if I killed someone, I might get some points. And the facts proved that my guess was right."
Ouyang Yu didn't believe this nonsense and sneered, "You mean, this is a game of killing each other?"
The doll's eyes lit up instantly, and her little hands clapped involuntarily. She loved the cannibalism game.
Zhuang Li curled the corners of his lips and said cunningly, "Probably."
Ouyang Yu laughed out loud, but there was a vicious light in his eyes.
The baby shook her head and said in a cute manner: "Brother Ouyang, whether this is a game of killing each other or not, won't we know if we kill one person?" As soon as she finished speaking, she floated towards Xu Yingying who was standing not far away like a ghost, and she had a black dagger in her hand.
Zhuang Li had anticipated this and said coldly, "Save him!"
He was the one who ordered the killing, and he was also the one who ordered the rescue. What exactly was he going to do? Huang Mao, Zi Wei, and the others were confused by his unpredictable thoughts and were unable to react for a while.
Xuan Ming faithfully carried out every order of the little devil. He kicked the doll away at an even faster speed.
The doll slammed into the wall and fell heavily, the sword in her hand dropping to the ground with a clang. Before she could even get up, she spat out a mouthful of thick blood mixed with shattered internal organs, clearly suffering severe internal injuries. She was already an SS-rank expert.
Xuan Ming's agility, speed, and strength were simply impossible to defend against! This meant that no one could survive a single blow from him. If he had wanted to kill Wawa just now, Wawa would have been a corpse by now!
The muscles on Ouyang Yu's cheek twitched uncontrollably, as if he was suppressing his anger and fear. The snake woman put down Hu San's body and ran to support the baby. As her emotions spiraled out of control, the scales on her right cheek quickly spread across her body, transforming her into a half-human, half-snake monster.
Xu Yingying, who had nearly been killed, hurriedly ran behind Xuan Ming, her eyes filled with fear. Her teammates all cast angry glances at Wawa.
The scene was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and an internal conflict was about to break out.
Zhuang Li chuckled at this moment: "You seem to have misunderstood something. What I mean by fratricide is that we kill you, or you kill yourselves. Counterattack is not allowed. Do you understand?"
He held up three fingers and spoke slowly, "I'll give you one chance to escape. I'll count down to three, and after that, we'll come hunt you down. So run, the farther the better."
He retracted his fingers and opened his red lips slightly: "The game begins."
Without a second thought, Ouyang Yu ran deeper into the corridor, completely ignoring the snake girl and the severely injured baby. The snake girl gritted her teeth as she stared at his back, then finally picked up the baby and ran in the opposite direction.
Everyone who stayed looked at Zhuang Li, with deep fear and endless doubts on their faces.
This man's behavior is exactly like those of the ruthless taskmasters. He treats this place as a slaughterhouse, or rather, a playground! He is a demon who enjoys killing people!
Zi Wei shook his head and kept backing away. This man was too cruel. He couldn't be associated with anyone!
Dalong also decisively left Hades' team and chose to stand in the corner with Hedgehog.
Xu Yingying, who had been hiding behind Xuan Ming just now, ran back to Zhao Feng, and Zhao Feng led everyone to move to a position near the door.
Huangmao and Xiaodao remained standing, their brows furrowed, as if they couldn't agree with the casual slaughter of their teammates. Although they weren't on the same side as Ouyang Yu, having entered the same instance, they had to remain united.
No matter the circumstances, killing team members is never beneficial.
Zhuang Li is no different from those taskers who have lost their minds, transformed from humans into beasts, or even turned into evil spirits!
Should I remind the boss? It's very dangerous to associate with such a person! The two looked at each other, the same worry in their eyes.
However, Xuan Ming still stood behind Zhuang Li, one arm tightly wrapped around his waist, observing everyone with the attitude of a guardian, and also being wary of everyone. His cold eyes slowly swept across the entire field, silently warning the players not to hurt their loved ones, otherwise he would kill them without mercy.
He has always been upright, and he didn't even raise any objection to the "fratricide" game proposed by Zhuang Li.
If Ouyang Yu and the others were killed, who would Zhuang Li choose to kill next? It would definitely be Zhao Feng and the others he didn't know well, right? If Zhao Feng and the others were killed, who would he kill next? Zi Wei? Da Long? Huang Mao? Xiao Dao? Even Xuan Ming?
Don't say it's impossible. Zhuang Li, who killed a team member without any warning, could make any crazy demands later!
Thinking of this, the chill that had been accumulating in everyone's hearts suddenly rushed to their scalps.
Today, Zhuang Li and Xuan Ming have become the most feared beings.
Zhuang Li seemed oblivious to the fearful and resentful looks people gave him. He raised his wrist to look at the task manager, held up three fingers, and said slowly, "I'm going to start the countdown."
"We won't participate in your game!" Zhao Feng said with a stiff upper lip.
"We would rather die than participate in such a cruel game!" Zi Wei and Da Long said with clenched teeth.
Huangmao and Xiaodao looked at Xuanming at the same time and warned him in a deep voice: "Boss, don't forget your persistence!"
But Xuan Ming remained indifferent. He just hugged the little devil in his arms and whispered softly in his ear: "I will do whatever you say." He had long been accustomed to listening to his wife.
Zhuang Li smiled and touched his cheek. Feeling the task device begin to vibrate, he counted down loudly: "Three!"
At the same moment, everyone lowered their heads to look at their task managers, their faces filled with shock. After a moment, they looked up at Zhuang Li, who had retracted one finger, their eyes thick with fear.
Every time this person counted down, the task manager's points decreased by one. Was it a coincidence? Could he be controlling the direction of this dungeon?
However, before anyone could think about it, Zhuang Li had already retracted another finger and raised his voice: "Two!"
At the same time, everyone's task manager was vibrating, and the points in the score column changed from 15 to 14, and then from 14 to 13!
Zhuang Li retracted his last finger and said in a low voice, "One!"
The task manager vibrated and 13 points became 12 points.
Without 15 points, no one could possibly leave the castle alive. And Ouyang Yu, Baby, and Snake Girl, who had escaped, made up exactly three people. If they were killed like Hu San, perhaps their points would go back up.
What is the deduction mechanism and what is the addition mechanism? No one knows it except Zhuang Li, but they have no room for thought!
The example of Hu San was right there, and they had no choice but to believe it.
Zhuang Li waved his hand and gave orders nonchalantly, "When you see those three, no matter what they say or do, no matter how weak and pitiful they act, don't hesitate. Kill them and bring their bodies back to me! Okay, let's go."
The people who were extremely dissatisfied with him just now and even almost attacked him had to follow his instructions and embark on the road of hunting team members.
No one knew how this could help them survive, and they could only accept the situation. Everything seemed to be under Zhuang Li's control. Whatever he said, everyone had to do it. This wasn't due to everyone's will, nor was it due to Xuan Ming's immense strength, but rather to the circumstances.
What’s even more terrifying is that the ups and downs of the situation seem to be completely under Zhuang Li’s control.
What kind of monster is this person?
As Huangmao and Xiaodao passed Zhuang Li, they both cast questioning glances at Xuanming. Where on earth had the boss found his wife? She was so weak, yet she was able to manipulate all the masters at her will!
Zhao Feng and the others chased after the baby and the snake girl. They wanted to stay where they were and avoid taking any risks, but they were more afraid of being with Zhuang Li.
This person is really weird!
Zi Wei and Da Long stood there with embarrassed expressions. They had just said they would never participate in the game, but now they had to kill someone.
"What do you know?" Zi Wei gasped rapidly, looking at Zhuang Li with obvious fear in his eyes.
This person was clearly just a weak D-level chicken, but at this moment he gave him a feeling of extreme danger.
"Hedgehog, if you encounter an unknown dark figure on the road, do not chase it." Zhuang Li gave a warning without answering the question. Then he jumped onto Xuan Ming's back and pointed at the dark corridor and ordered: "Let's go, let's set off."
Xuan Ming glanced at Zi Wei and Da Long, and the two had no choice but to follow.
The sound of fighting soon came from the front. It was Huangmao and Ouyang Yu. Xiaodao had disappeared.
Xuanming knew that Huangmao could handle Ouyang Yu, so he stood aside with the little devil on his back, watching the battle. Zi Wei and Dalong, unaware of Huangmao's true abilities, rushed over to help. At this moment, a dark figure ran past, a dagger in its hand flashing with cold light.
Zi Wei, whose eyes were stung by the cold light, chased after him without thinking.
Zhuang Li quickly slapped Xuan Ming: "Catch up!"
Everything he said would come true in the near future and influence everyone's actions. He told Zi Wei not to chase the shadow, and the shadow actually appeared!
Dalong followed Xuanming, his curiosity and fear growing deeper and deeper.
