After giving their instructions, Yu Xiangnan and He Huai set off.
Just to be on the safe side, the two of them each put one item in their respective inventory.
They arrived at the huge grandfather clock, found an entrance, and after confirming that no one was there, went inside.
It was full of rapidly spinning gears.
The gears spun rapidly, emitting a deafening roar, and the sharp metallic scraping sound was like a series of blades cutting into the auditory nerves of the two people.
Luckily we arrived early; there's no one waiting at the entrance yet.
Yu Xiangnan and He Huai exchanged a glance and quickly entered the grandfather clock.
They clung tightly to the wall, moving with extreme caution, watching the constantly turning gears around them, searching for a safe path.
Once someone falls here, it's very difficult for their teammates to revive them, and the entire team could be wiped out if they're not careful.
"There!"
He Huai immediately pointed to the rapidly spinning gears above his head. Floating on the edge of the gears was a sad frog doll, shimmering with a pale golden light; the doll's score above its head was a whopping 19!
Before she could do anything, the gears under her feet suddenly started turning, and He Huai slipped, almost losing her balance. Yu Xiangnan reacted quickly, grabbing He Huai's arm and pulling her back.
Thanks.
Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard footsteps from the other side.
The two turned around alertly and saw a group of players emerging from the darkness.
One, two, three...
There were as many as five people.
Could it be that two teams have formed an alliance?
The five people instantly surrounded them, leaving no gaps.
"The prey has finally been caught." A man wielding a long sword spoke with a tone full of ruthlessness and greed. "I never expected that you two would actually be able to steal anything. If you know what's good for you, hand over what you found, and we'll spare your lives!"
After saying that, he casually waved his long sword in the air twice, making a "whooshing" sound, as if to show the two of them his intimidating power.
The atmosphere froze instantly, and the air was thick with tension.
Yu Xiangnan and He Huai stood back to back. He Huai turned slightly to the side, placed his hand on the longbow on his back without making a sound, and whispered to Yu Xiangnan, "What do you plan to do?"
Despite being at such a disadvantage, Yu Xiangnan showed no fear, a sly glint in his eyes.
"I see... they seem to have quite a lot of belongings on them..."
"4v5, not a big problem."
4v5??
The five men felt a chill run down their spines as her gaze swept over them. They gripped their weapons tightly and scanned their surroundings warily.
What's going on? Weren't there only two people? Where did this 4v5 come from?
Without giving the five people any time to react, the next second, Xiao Lan and Yu You, who had been lying in ambush in the distance, acted instantly.
Little Blue was surrounded by arcs of electricity, and his eyes flashed with purple lightning as he used his first skill, [Lightning Strike].
In an instant, countless small bolts of lightning, like nimble silver snakes, spread wildly outwards from the center.
The lightning bolts struck the enemy with pinpoint accuracy, leaving them briefly stunned. Then, the continuous lightning damage, like a persistent leech, began to erode their health.
Yu You laughed twice, then suddenly opened his mouth wide and let out a low roar.
Several dark green locks flew towards the five people!
The moment the chains touched the players, they were like a serpent that had been lying in wait for a long time and had sensed its prey, instantly awakening and quickly coiling around their limbs and bodies.
Xiao Lan and Yu You's sudden attack caught the five of them off guard.
The tightly packed encirclement formation instantly fell into chaos, and the five people panicked and dodged attacks in all directions.
Yu Xiangnan and He Huai seized this excellent opportunity and launched a swift counterattack.
A ring of blazing red flames appeared in He Huai's hand. She drew back the bowstring, and an arrow formed instantly from the flames.
With a flick of the finger, the arrow shot out with tremendous force, transforming into a Vermilion Bird soaring into the sky during its flight.
"Boom!"
The Vermilion Bird, carrying a scorching heatwave, shot towards the five people. Upon hitting the ground, it exploded with a deafening roar, the powerful impact sending the five staggering about.
Yu Xiangnan locked onto the person who was obviously a ranged mage and swung the iron shovel straight at the person's face.
The sorcerer was caught off guard and before he could cast a spell, he was struck by the shovel and fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
With the added attacks from Xiao Lan, Yu You, and He Huai, his health points instantly dropped to zero.
The remaining four were completely unprepared for the situation to reverse so suddenly, and fear instantly gripped their hearts. They no longer cared about the person who had fallen, and each fled desperately in different directions.
The importance of prioritizing attacks on squishy targets.
As time passed, the mage, who had no teammates to help him up, gradually became ethereal and transparent. Finally, with a "poof," he turned into a pile of shimmering light spots and disappeared completely in an instant, leaving only a honey jar in his inventory with a score of 15 points.
Yu Xiangnan darted forward and snatched the jar of honey.
On the other side, He Huai used his legs to jump onto the slowly rotating gears above his head, reached out and scooped up the Sad Frog doll, which he then carefully put into his inventory.
The two worked together surprisingly well.
With their inventory completely full, the two decided to return to their team's designated area.
After all, there was no way to carry more items, and the environment inside the grandfather clock was complex and full of interference, making it very difficult to capture the signal sent by Lin Yu.
The two proceeded cautiously and successfully left the grandfather clock.
But before he had gone far, Yu Xiangnan suddenly froze, a strange chill shooting from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.
She had a vague feeling that something was following them like a shadow, and with each step they took, the feeling of being watched grew stronger.
"Wow, wow ahhh..."
Suddenly, the Sad Frog in He Huai's inventory burst into tears, its cries sounding particularly abrupt and eerie.
Without warning, a mass of pitch-black water suddenly surged from the ground. The black water seemed to have a life of its own, constantly churning and twisting, gradually coalescing into a human shape.
Once the outline became clear, the water figure's face was hideous, its features distorted beyond recognition, and water streamed down its face like a waterfall. With each step it took, it left a long, wet trail of water.
Its target was clear, and it carried a chilling aura as it swiftly attacked Yu Xiangnan and He Huai!
"Don't speak, the water people have very sensitive hearing..." He Huai's heart jumped into her throat instantly. She lowered her voice and shouted urgently, almost in a breath.
In a flash, she frantically pulled the Sad Frog out of her inventory and threw it away.
The moment the sad frog landed, its piercing cries abruptly ceased.
