As he approached, Lu Cai realized he was at the back of the building. Entering through a small door, he found a narrow passage. Further in, he found a staircase, and further ahead, a corridor.
Lu Cai had horseshoes nailed to his feet, so his movements were very light. Even so, when his feet stepped on the tiles, there was still a light "click" sound.
She walked in fear, but she didn't expect the noise behind her to be even louder, a rustling sound like a bamboo broom sweeping the ground.
Looking back, Lu Cai saw the jumping white-legged falcon awkwardly controlling its long tail, trying its best to keep it from touching the ground.
[Shi Rukui: I have tried my best...]
[Lu Jian: Oh, then keep up the good work.]
Shi Rukui: “…”
Ignoring the bird behind her that was not used to walking on the ground, she looked away and saw the kitten resting at the foot of the stairs.
The light inside wasn't as bright as outside, giving it a chilly, gloomy air. A small, black and white tabby cat sat quietly, its fur slightly fluffy, making it appear soft and frail. Its crimson eyes stared at her calmly, as if the world was so vast that it couldn't see anything else.
Lu Cai's breathing hitched, and he quickly tried to calm himself. Actually, 666's expression and eyes had always been like this, but as a person, his appearance affected his overall temperament, making him appear very cold and distant. Even after Lu Cai got to know him better, when he looked up at her, there was no aggression in his expression, only calmness.
But it was different at this moment. In front of her was a furry kitten. He was small in size and seemed like a fragile little flower. The cold aura that surrounded him when he was in human form disappeared without a trace on the little guy's round head.
The indifferent gaze seemed to be tinged with warmth, which made her heart tremble slightly.
It's so unfair! Transforming into a kitten is so unfair!
If you meet an enemy, throw the kitten out, it will surely make the enemy die of cuteness!
Lu Cai calmed his turbulent emotions and walked over calmly. Xiao Falcon behind him took two steps forward instead of three.
[Shi Rukui: You're tall and a bit eye-catching. I'll go in and explore the way first. You wait here.]
[Lu Cai: Lift your tail higher. Your voice is more dangerous than my size.]
When she lowered her eyes, she saw the white-legged falcon tilt its head forward and lift its tail upward.
[Shi Rukui: How about this?]
Lu Cai: “…”
[Lu Cai: Very good.]
Shi Rukui breathed a sigh of relief, wagged his tail, and skipped forward. When he passed by 666, he raised his wings, intending to pat the kitten's head, but unfortunately 666 dodged him.
Shi Rukui's actions caught Lu Cai's eye, leaving her feeling a bit amused. She knew Shi Rukui wasn't a stern, serious person, but he wasn't as relaxed as he was now. It seemed that without his human form, he had lost all sense of dignity.
Lu Cai pushed the fire door open a tiny crack for Shi Rukui, and Xiao Falcon carefully went in. The lights in the corridor were on, and the cold white light reflected on the pure white wall, which always had a bit of chilliness.
She took two steps back and closed the fire door again. Lu Cai then turned his attention to the courtyard outside, guarding against an attack from outside while also keeping an eye on the stairs for any sudden appearances.
Just as I was on guard, a new message popped up in the group chat.
[Yue Xiaoyan: There are other players in the dungeon, but they can't receive system notifications!]
Cai Lu wanted to ask what happened, but the group chat started ringing again.
[Yue Xiaoyan: I met Hua Xiaochi and am on the run! Do not disturb me!]
Then there was no more message.
Lu Cai also put his thoughts aside. Although he was worried, judging by Yue Xiaoyan's tone, she should be able to handle it on her own. Even if she couldn't handle it, Lu Cai couldn't rush over to help. Now he could only try his best not to disturb her and avoid distracting Yue Xiaoyan.
I closed the group chat and continued to keep watch. After a while, I received a message from Shi Rukui.
[Shi Rukui: Come in, turn left after entering the door, don't go to the lobby, there are people in the lobby.]
[Arbitrator Lu: Received.]
She lowered her head to look at 666, lowered her head, and said softly, "Shi Rukui said to turn left after entering the door, so let's go in and take a look."
The kitten nodded, and Chief Lu pushed open the fire door.
I walked in, poked my head out, and looked to the right. It was a corner. I tilted my head and could vaguely see the service desk in the lobby in front. A young woman was looking down at something.
Lu Caizhao followed Rukui's instructions and prepared to go to the left side of the corridor. After taking a few steps, the overhead light suddenly turned dim, and at the same time, the noise of a radio signal rang out in the corridor.
There was a few bursts of noise, then it quieted down, and a mechanical female voice came out.
"Hunting Grounds Experience Venue No. 3 - Headquarters Building - has opened. Hunters who have entered please stand by -"
Lu Cai's ears were ringing from the loud broadcast, but fortunately his mind was still able to think. No wonder it was so quiet outside; it turned out they hadn't even entered the main battlefield.
"Hunters in position—move out!"
The mechanical female voice on the radio suddenly smiled, as if she was playing a bad joke, and the people who heard the joke were already horrified.
Lu Cai unleashed his supernatural energy. Although this amount of power was not enough for attacking, it was still sufficient for defense.
The power spread out, and within her range of detection, she discovered five unknown individuals: three on the second floor and two on the fourth floor.
She looked down at 666, only to see that his whole body was tense, as if he was ready to fight at any moment.
"Let's go back and have a look—" Lu Cai lowered his voice, retreated in the direction he came from, and opened the chat box at the same time.
[Lu Cai: Are you okay?]
They retreated to the fire door in the passage. Lu Cai tried to push it, but it didn't budge. They were already on the battlefield, so how could they be allowed to leave? If Lu Cai's abilities weren't restricted, he could have tried to demolish the house and get rich quick. Now...
She paid attention to the movements around her and could only move forward.
But at least one thing is certain: as the hunted animals, their enemies are these hunters.
And there is the organizer of this hunting game.
[Shi Rukui: There's a trap in the building, and the way in is blocked. Be careful!]
[Lu Cai: Find the organizer of the hunting game.]
[Shi Rukui: Good.]
After closing the chat, Lu Cai's expression was solemn. It was still unknown how many hunters there were in a single building, and dodging the entire floor was truly exhausting. Since this was a competition, the fun was in the back-and-forth.
......
The lights in the stairwell were dim, and there was a rustling sound of footsteps coming down from upstairs. The footsteps were swift and quick, and you could tell that they were moving very fast, but their steps were steady.
The light flickered between bright and dark, and a tall young man walked down into the basement.
"I've reached the basement." He held the gun with a serious expression.
The noise continued to come out of the earphones, and the young man smiled: "No matter what they are, I will shoot them down and see what is left."
The other end was cursing again. The young man frowned and said coldly, "Shut up!"
The basement was a garage, which was very empty at this moment. The lights on the ceiling were turned off, and the light was dimmer than that in the building on the ground. The spotlight on the shoulder cast a bright light, illuminating the dim environment a little.
The young man was alert, having eliminated seven hunters in succession. He suspected one of them had attacked his companions. Frowning tightly, he stepped forward cautiously, his eyes quickly and sharply scanning everything in front of him.
The hunting grounds had been open for two hours, and within an hour, reports of hunters being attacked and eliminated began to appear one after another. The latest to be eliminated was his team member, who was assigned to search the parking lot below.
Everyone who enters this hunting event likes hunting, but there are too many laws and regulations outside. Many protected animals cannot be touched, and even guns have regulatory requirements, which greatly affects the experience.
They want a more exciting hunting experience and want all those animals to be their prey.
With demand, there is a market, and this large "hunting ground" becomes their paradise.
Most hunters here feel a strange sense of satisfaction when they kill their prey, a thrill of mastering life and death. But everyone's sense of pleasure is different, and inevitably there are a few perverts who are not satisfied with just shooting animals.
This was his speculation, someone had pointed the gun at the hunter to get more pleasure.
He raised the corners of his lips. This is fine. Who wouldn't get tired of hunting those stupid beasts every day...
The young man walked forward when he heard a sudden clicking sound from the side. He concentrated his attention, listening closely to the movements around him and looking in the direction of the sound.
There's nothing there.
He frowned and moved cautiously towards her, wary yet disdainful. Using such crude tactics didn't make him a skilled hunter. It wasn't challenging, and rather disappointing.
Continuing forward, De De Sheng ran away from not far in front of him at an extremely fast speed and suddenly reached the other side.
He still didn't see the other person clearly, and his voice changed. He frowned a little unhappily, and finally admitted that the other person was indeed quite capable.
Maybe the other person has a companion.
The young man followed the sound, but it seemed to be teasing him. Every time he approached, the sound would run to the other side. He originally thought that the other party was playing some tricks to trap him.
After running back and forth a few times, I was sure that the other person was running around.
He was getting increasingly angry and impatient, but he still ran towards the sound. At that moment, an inconspicuous little ball darted out from behind him, silently clinging to his back.
The young man was startled and tried to throw off the thing on his back in a hurry, but the "thing" moved faster and jumped from his back to his shoulders, sending his weapons and ammunition falling to the ground.
His heart was in turmoil, and before he could think carefully, a beeping sound approached rapidly. He turned hurriedly and raised his gun, but his hand felt a sharp pain. His hand loosened and the gun fell to the ground. He looked up and saw a young tabby cat quickly jumped out of his arm.
His vision darkened, and a pair of strong, straight horse legs suddenly rose up. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and when he fell backward, he saw only a pure black horse looking at him with contempt.
"Hunter No. 25 is out—"
A mechanical female voice announced the news in the hunter's earphones, but before the hunter could finish listening, the black horse stepped on the hunter's communicator and smashed it.
