"Phew, found it!"
While pursuing her opponent in a mysterious manner, Gwen also used her abilities to search for the [Sacred Fruit], and now she has finally found the first [Sacred Fruit]!
[After holding the Sacred Fruit continuously for 30 minutes, the Sacred Fruit is considered yours and can no longer be taken by the opponent. Time remaining: 29:59]
Does holding it for 30 minutes mean you own it permanently?
Jiang Ran had thought that he would have to protect all the fruits before he could collect all seven [Sacred Fruits], but this new rule saved him a lot of effort.
[Elite-level Desert Reaper]
"Go, Death, protect Gwen first!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran and the big black dog were really destined to meet. I thought we wouldn't see each other again for a long time after we parted ways at the end of the dungeon.
As luck would have it, the big black dog helped Jiang Ran in the last SS-level dungeon, and now it's back for this SS-level dungeon again.
"What's going on? I was eating when you suddenly called me over!"
"Let Gwen explain it to you slowly!"
The big black dog's strength is similar to that of Gwen before. Although it cannot be ranked as the "King of Devils", it is definitely one of the top beings in the "Elite" level!
“This time it really isn’t the [King of Ghosts] on his side!” Han Xiaodong smiled. “If another one comes, I can’t handle it.”
"Isn't this the dog Jiang Ran encountered in Night Demon City? In terms of level, it should be [Elite]."
They currently possess one [Ghost King], three [Elite], and two [Ghostly] creatures.
No, our combat strength isn't overwhelming enough.
"How about we wait another round?" Burrough suggested. "Jiang Ran is only able to gain a foothold on the chessboard because of these two [Deceptive Kings]. If he doesn't draw a [Deceptive King] in his next turn, we can achieve a real numerical advantage!"
"Too slow!" Han Xiaodong shook his head. "If we let the strange creatures advance now, Jiang Ran will definitely seize the initiative and make a move. So if we want to avoid this 20-minute battle, we should retreat instead!"
"That won't be enough time! Are we just trying to win the game? We have to kill him!" Han Xiaodong's expression was somewhat crazed. "Only when Jiang Ran has zero [Sacred Fruits] will he die in this game! Simply winning the game is meaningless!"
"Too risky!" Burroughs frowned. "Although the enemy's contracted dolls and Sloth are far enough apart, the last round completely scattered our forces. It will take time to regroup them, which is enough time for them to reunite!"
"If a fight really breaks out, I don't think we can win."
"Then forget about Sloth!" Han Xiaodong pointed at Gwen. "Let's throw all three of our cards this turn next to the Contract Doll and kill her instantly!"
The big black dog is with Gwen, so it's a setup of one [Deceptive King] and one [Elite]. Their three cards this round are one of each of the three levels, which seems to give them a slight advantage, but everyone knows that combat power can't be calculated like that!
"Vellens, are you confident you can win?"
"If you listen to me, you will win!"
Seeing that the opponent threw all three cards 300 meters away from Gwen, Jiang Ran knew that Han Xiaodong was finally going to make a real move.
What is he trying to do? Use his elite and bizarre subordinates to hold off the big black dog, and then let the two bizarre kings fight one-on-one?
"Giving such a risky order is not like you at all."
The two sides met quickly, and just as Jiang Ran had expected, the [Elite] class summoned by Burrough and the [Strange] class summoned by John blocked the big black dog together, while Gwen faced the flying zombie head-on!
"It's a bit tricky, but no problem!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Gwen met it head-on. The flying zombie was very powerful and fast, but it was slightly less agile. Gwen was able to block its attack without much difficulty!
In their first encounter, Gwen was impressed by the flying zombie, who was only slightly stronger than the Shadow Dragon, but still far from being on par with the likes of Sirius.
Having played so many high-level games, dealing with these small fry was a piece of cake for Gwen before. Now, she finally has a challenging opponent!
"John, go down there and take down that doll."
"ah?!"
"What 'huh'? Just listen to me!" Han Xiaodong didn't even turn his head to look at him, his eyes fixed on every move on the chessboard. "If you're too slow, the opportunity will be gone!"
Previously, [Sacred Serpent] had vaguely hinted that these chess players could also personally participate in the battle. Since they were human, not monsters, they were not subject to restrictions on the number of players or the distance between them!
"Are you kidding me?" John's temper flared up instantly. "You keep telling me to go down, why don't you go down yourself?!"
"Because I'm the commander!" Han Xiaodong raised his voice, "Besides, you're the only one among the three of us who has the means to kill the strange creatures. Why should I go down instead of you? What use would I be? Can I kill the strange creatures?"
"If you still want to win, then follow my instructions!"
"I'll beat you to a pulp one day!"
Although John was furious, he knew the situation: his talent was their team's winning trump card!
John quickly drew his Sun and Moon Gun, and in the next moment appeared next to Gwen, raising the gun and pointing it at her!
"Go to hell!"
His Sun and Moon Gun now has four bullets left. He used two Sun bullets earlier, and now he has one Sun bullet and three Moon bullets left.
"I've been waiting for you for so long!"
John only heard a whooshing sound, and in an instant, Jiang Ran swept his leg and kicked him, knocking him to the ground!
When Han Xiaodong gave the order to attack, Jiang Ran had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Then, thinking about John's talent, he realized that the other party could choose not to do this, but he had to be on guard!
Jiang Ran stared intently at John, ready to follow up and kick him to the ground the moment he made a move!
"Don't be afraid, little Gwen, I'm here."
Unfortunately, this game doesn't remove the restriction on ghost storytellers harming each other, meaning that if Jiang Ran kills John here, he will also be disqualified from completing the game.
This restriction naturally applies to everyone present, including the bizarre creatures under their command.
Once the Mystery Tales Master is deployed, it's essentially a street thug unit that can't be killed or seriously injured. As for how to utilize this special unit, that's up to you.
"Vellens, it looks like you've made the wrong bet again."
“No, this is exactly what I want.” Han Xiaodong continued to look down at the chessboard. “We must make full use of our numerical advantage. Look, Jiang Ran has left the game. He’s no longer flying in the air, and his ‘eyes’ are gone.”
