Chapter 323 Monster Hospital (Twenty-two)
After all, Guild Master Xuan's personal skills make too much noise every time he uses them, so it's impossible to hide it from other players. In addition, due to the confrontation between the ten major guilds in the rest area, except for the personal skills of the first and eldest presidents who cannot be detected for special reasons, the personal skills of important figures in the ten major guilds, including the presidents, are no secret.
However, the knowledge of this kind of information is limited. For example, the president of the top students and the president of the loan sharks both know that President Xuan's personal skill is "Sky Garden", but it is difficult to judge the extent of the impact of the Sky Garden during its use.
On the one hand, as the focus of players' attention, other people like President Xuan must have carefully selected the dungeons they want to enter. In many cases, there are only members of their own guild, so the information they can reveal about the consequences of skills is naturally limited.
On the other hand, even if many guilds enter the same instance, Guild President Xuan will avoid showing his full strength when using his personal skills, so the Honor Student President and the Loan Shark President can only be sure that the other party's skills can control the players' actions to a certain extent. When the Sky Garden is activated, there will be a water column as thick as a finger, which will firmly control other players. Even the presidents of other guilds, whose skills are more powerful than Guild President Xuan, can control them for a moment.
But until now, when the dense water vapor surrounding the sky garden was like a cage, trapping the eldest lady and President Xuan so that they could not move, the two realized that they had really underestimated President Xuan's skills. This was equivalent to putting the enemy in a state of being unable to resist for a short period of time, which was simply a godsend.
The president of the honor students reacted quickly. With a flash of cold light in the air, she held a thin glass lens in her hand and wanted to directly cut the young lady's throat. The reaction of the president of the loan shark was not slow either. After realizing that both of them were now in a state of powerlessness, he did not use his fancy skills, but simply took out a dagger from the control panel, ready to strike.
If they were more alert, they would have discovered that no matter when President Xuan activated his skill, or when the eldest lady and President Yi were controlled in the cage made of water vapor, both of them had peaceful expressions on their faces. Not to mention no surprise, there wasn't even the slightest emotional fluctuation. This was a very abnormal situation.
After all, no one knew they were in Area A, and they were facing the patients. If such a motive was launched against them, no matter how strong a person was, there would always be some emotional changes. Therefore, the state of the eldest lady and the president at this time was abnormal.
But perhaps, both of them realized it in those few brief seconds, but this godsend opportunity to kill the eldest lady and the president at the same time without any effort made them go to their heads, so that they selectively ignored those unreasonable things.
Daggers and lenses are both commonly used killing weapons, and they are very sharp. The Honor Student President and the Loan Shark President are both experts in killing. They don't even need a second, as long as they get close, it's a hundred percent certainty. President Xuan's personal skill, which is similar to space restriction, has a very obvious advantage, which is that it can be selectively restricted, only targeting enemy personnel, not our own players.
But just as the glass lens of the president of the top students was about to cut the young lady's neck in the next second, a flame suddenly appeared in the space shrouded in water vapor. The flames swept through, and the water vapor in the air was evaporated without a trace in an instant, and the cage made of water vapor naturally disappeared as well.
The president flicked his sleeves and evacuated the young lady to a safe place, and also confiscated the weapons from the two men.
All these changes happened quite suddenly. Not only were the Honor Student President and the Loan Shark President caught off guard, even President Xuan had a very horrified expression on his face. After all, this was the first time his skill was broken by a player, and in order to make this operation foolproof, he had already used the 'Sky Garden' skill to the extreme. At the moment when the water vapor evaporated and the cage collapsed, President Xuan was directly shocked and spit out blood.
The water vapor in the sky garden is not ordinary water, and it cannot be burned out by ordinary fire. However, the flames that came out of nowhere broke his water vapor cage within a second. How could he not panic? The personal skills he had practiced diligently were broken so easily by President Yi. Until this moment, President Xuan realized that he seemed to have never seen clearly about President Yi's strength, so that while panic arose in his heart, he was also determined to fight to the death.
No matter how the three people felt when they found out that the plan had failed, they had silently reached a consensus in a short period of time: the plan had been exposed. Even if they let go now, would the eldest lady and the chairman be willing to let them go?
They judged others by themselves and didn't think so. After all, their previous president had disappeared without a trace in the guild league's copy not long ago. If the dead were not all players who were against Guild One, they would still be willing to believe that something went wrong in the copy and it was not entirely the responsibility of the players of Guild One. So no matter what, the account was still put on Guild One. Of course, all of them had more or less dealt with President One and the eldest lady. As for how much personal grudge there was, only each of them knew it in their hearts.
In a blink of an eye, the loan shark guild leader used his skills to summon several players who were not originally in the dungeon to join the battle. However, before they could get close, the flames from the side rolled out again.
Everyone could see clearly then that it was not a flame created by some props, nor was it the air arrows that the captain usually used, but a dragon as long as an adult's arm with flames, a species that they had only seen in movies and TV shows, wrapped in blazing flames.
If there are players who have participated in the guild league dungeon and are here at this time, they will easily find that the appearance of this little dragon is almost exactly the same as the Dragon God and the Anti-God seen before in the White Orchid Rain Festival. The only difference is that it has flames all over its body and is much smaller in size.
Unfortunately, the three guild presidents present had never entered the guild league copy, so they had no idea of the origin of this dragon. They were surprised that this little dragon did not look like an ordinary prop, but more like a personal skill. Therefore, they suspected that this might be the personal skill of a guild president. They finally got a glimpse of the personal skill of a guild president, but it happened at this critical moment, and they were neither happy nor sad.
Those players summoned by the loan shark guild president were not Beixi's targets. They were all innocent players. Beixi's flames automatically passed over them and went straight to the remaining three presidents.
“When did something wrong happen to you…” President Xuan was injured just now and could no longer use his skills for a short period of time. He could only use props to block the fire dragon’s attack and vomited blood again. “This is the face that the system forged for us. There shouldn’t be any mistakes…”
He could personally feel that without the restriction of his own sky garden, the three of them would not be a match for President Yi, let alone close combat. They couldn't even deal with this little dragon. Their only advantage was that the system exempted them from abiding by the hospital rules, which meant that as patients they could hurt President Yi and the eldest lady without being restricted by the system's rules of cannibalism. But President Xuan guessed that the system would not give President Yi and the eldest lady the same rights, so when Xiaolong attacked again, he chose to give up resistance, only to find that President Yi did not kill him with one blow.
Perhaps the president saw his temptation, and with a wave of his hand, the little dragon temporarily stopped attacking. The president seemed to be lost in some thought, but not about his own questions. Instead, he was thinking about whether or not to get rid of them.
On the other hand, the young lady who had been frowning at everything in front of her condescended to speak, "We have triggered a side quest here, and we know that someone has become a patient and is hiding among them."
Time goes back to the time when Nan Huan and Bei Xi just came in. In front of Patient 111 and other patients, they opened a hidden channel to facilitate communication and communicated in the communication channel.
"What do you think of the patients' attitude towards us?" This was the question Nan Huan asked Bei Xi in the communication channel after he received a financial promotion booklet, a gift from 250 patients.
"They are very curious about you, respect you, and even welcome you very much." Bei Xi gave a relatively fair evaluation. In comparison, those patients were not very interested in herself. They were very curious about Nanhuan's number and the other party's appearance here. Judging from the performance of patient No. 111, the patients were actually very united.
Nan Huan recognized the patients' recognition and friendliness of her identity, so she was more concerned about another question, "Do you think the system can hide the fact that it replaced some patients for this task from other patients?"
"The possibility is very small. After all, we are together day and night. Those staff members who have temporarily become patients will definitely reveal their true colors to some extent." Bei Xi quickly understood what Nan Huan meant by this. "But in order for the game to continue, all patients, including Patient No. 111, must not reveal this information to us for some reason. So I don't know whether the patients have fought for the gift-giving link for us on the basis of ensuring fairness, or whether the system has deliberately set up this link, so those replaced patients can only convey information to us through gifts..."
Whether it was Patient No. 250 standing in front of them, whose words sounded a bit perfunctory upon closer inspection, or what Patient No. 111 said, both made Nan Huan and Bei Xi suspicious.
Before, when Nan Huan heard the task prompt from the system, he instinctively regarded those staff members dressed as patients as ordinary hospital staff. After all, no staff members dressed as players entered Area A where they were. But ever since Bei Xi smelled the scent of grass in Ward A just now, Nan Huan discovered that Ward A did not seem to be as impregnable as they had seen. After broadening his thinking, Nan Huan easily thought that since the side quest they received was to find staff members who had turned into patients, would there be players in other wards who received other tasks, such as needing to disguise themselves as patients in Area A, or needing to disguise themselves as patients in Area A during other tasks.
Once their minds were opened, Nan Huan and Bei Xi had to think more about the gifts left by the real patients No. 250 and No. 178 that could serve as clues. Nan Huan might not remember the glasses of the top student guild president, or she couldn't match the glasses with the person, or she might have forgotten what the player who used usury to deceive others looked like. But her ability to forget and her understanding of the guild made it easy for her to recognize who these gifts referred to. They were both the new presidents of the top ten guilds, so it was natural for them to know who they were close to, or who had the ability to move them wisely, and who chose this time to take action against her and Nan Huan.
Bei Xi was well aware of President Xuan's methods. In addition, her current situation was different, so it was not difficult for her to deal with the Sky Garden skill. Therefore, they had already prepared a countermeasure before President Xuan took action.
Nan Huan did not explain the whole process to President Xuan. She only mentioned that they knew someone was pretending to be a patient. She was now paying more attention to Bei Xi. The others might not have noticed where the fire dragon came from because of the emergency situation.
She was the only one who was closest to it, and when she saw that moment, the enchanting petals made of flowing water on Bei Xi's neck suddenly flashed twice, and then the small fire dragon suddenly appeared.
The fire dragon looked exactly like the Dragon God Hel and the Anti-God Hel in both shape and appearance. In particular, its first reaction when it appeared was to rub against Nan Huan's arm, but was stopped by Bei Xi with a look.
Now its movement was stopped by Bei Xi's temporarily waving sleeves. Seeing that Bei Xi was thinking about something and had no time to pay attention to itself, it boldly wrapped itself around Nan Huan's arm.
The flames were completely restrained by it, revealing a red body. Nan Huan judged from its appearance that this should be the Dragon God Hel, but he didn't know when she had acquired the ability to carry flames and shrink her body.
Nan Huan reached out and touched her head, realizing that Bei Xi had undergone fundamental changes since the Totem Fragment of Faith opened this ultimate copy. She could feel that Nan Huan could still use the skills given to her by Hel, but the pattern on her arm had been transferred to Bei Xi's neck. The numbers [100] [100/100] displayed on Bei Xi's head also indicated in some way that she seemed to be able to control more power.
However, Nan Huan instinctively felt that Bei Xi's control over energy seemed to be still in a restricted state, otherwise the Dragon God's state should not be like this.
But now, in front of the remaining three defeated generals, Nan Huan could not ask many of these questions, but she already understood what Bei Xi was thinking about during the brief silence.
Sure enough, without waiting for a moment, Bei Xi seemed to have made up his mind. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The fire dragon reluctantly left Nan Huan's arm and dangled in the air. Then the sound of a thunderstorm was heard in the room. Dense lightning appeared out of nowhere, like knives flashing with cold light, falling down in unison and stabbing the three embarrassed current presidents on the ground.
President Xuan had not anticipated that such a silent death was waiting for him, nor had he expected that the president who seemed to be hesitating just now would suddenly make up his mind and want to kill them directly.
From beginning to end, President Yi stood not far away, watching with cold eyes, not showing any concern at all. The President Yi had such a cold temperament in the past, but it was not until she was dying that President Xuan discovered that her temperament seemed to be different.
The president before, although cold, still had some human aura around her. But now, although she had become the person who controlled their life and death, there was no ripple in her eyes. The little aura around her that could be called "human" seemed to have disappeared completely in an instant.
President Xuan had also been through many storms and faced death and predicaments in dungeons many times, but he had never felt such endless fear in his heart as he did now. He knew in his heart that it was not the fear of knowing that he could not escape this time and was about to die, but the fear that spread from his heart when he looked directly at the president.
He couldn't understand why the president had suddenly started fighting again after he had stopped attacking because the game prohibited infighting. Was it because killing himself was more important than causing the president to suffer backlash?
It's unlikely. President Xuan was a little surprised that he could notice this before he died. Then he realized that the bright lightning seemed to be blocked by something spreading from his body.
He lowered his head in disbelief, and then he saw clearly that although he was injured and had no strength left and could not resist, he was wrapped in some black air without knowing when. The black air spread from his chest and quickly spread along the left half of his body, covering his arms and torso. It was this entangled black air that blocked the lightning attack just now.
【bite--
The infection detected in the players has reached 50%. 】
At the critical moment of life and death, the system prompt sounded in the minds of the three presidents at the same time. The black marks on the chests of the three people spread in an instant until they completely covered the left half of the body, blocking the lightning attack for them for a while and pulling them back from the brink of life and death.
The president of the honor students association and the president of the loan shark association didn't have time to think too much. One foot was pulled back from the gate of hell. The two were still in shock and could only gasp for breath.
However, President Xuan noticed that the system did not report the time this time, and it had been less than half an hour since the last prompt, but their infection rate had reached 50%.
This wasn't a sequelae of them not completing the side quest within the time limit and staying in Area A, but the infection was protecting them.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, President Xuan saw the black air spreading from the three people, stirring up a whirlpool in front of him and directly swallowing the three of them.
