Seeing her husband out of danger, Xie Xiaoxian was naturally grateful, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the little girl from afar.
The limited area meant that not too many people were needed to stalk the monster, so she felt relieved. She slipped into the corner of the bathroom to make room for the three boys who were already working well together. Then she poked her head out, took out the white pill, and gestured to Cheng Shuang.
Cheng Shuang immediately understood. She took one of her white pills and gave it to the unconscious Shao Yang. In this situation, having an extra fighter would greatly increase their chances of winning. Moreover, Shao Yang possessed healing abilities; once he woke up, he could help his other companions.
Compared to Si Rui, Shao Yang's shoulder injury healed better; the reason he fainted was entirely due to the impact.
He woke up while the three teenagers were kiting the monster, barely managed to cast a spell on himself, and whispered a reminder, "There's a leader's message when you enter; you have to kill it to get out."
The person closest to the door immediately tried it; the door wasn't locked, but it seemed to be stuck, firmly in place, and couldn't be pushed open no matter what.
Seeing this, Du Jun took out his bow and arrow and struck the humanoid monster's head. The arrow hit its slippery skin and fell off.
"It's that thing again!" Hei Zishan yelled. "How do we kill it?"
Since the humanoid monster was in a helpless state, with all its arms tangled together, it was no longer a threat. Cheng Shuang tentatively reached for the coffee table and happened to touch a cruise ship-shaped ashtray. Without hesitation, she threw it at the humanoid monster.
As expected, the ashtray was flung away.
"Like jelly," the little girl concluded.
"It's still not edible." Hei Zishan covered his bruised left eye, but still couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark.
Du Jun apologetically took out a small bag of ice and handed it to him. He took it and said in surprise, "You've robbed a supermarket before! You have everything!"
Du Jun didn't speak, and Hei Zishan, used to his taciturn nature, casually approached the humanoid monster and circled around it.
Cheng Shuang crawled out from under the coffee table, took the no-flying ban card that Du Jun had picked up, and then joined the others in studying the humanoid monster's weaknesses.
“How about we try attacking its heart and brain?” Hunter suggested.
"I think it's unlikely!" Xia Guang pointed to the humanoid monster's head. "Look, it's also in jelly form inside."
Du Jun gripped the arrow and pierced the humanoid monster's brain. He even stirred it around, but the monster showed no abnormality, only its shoulders trembling as it focused and tried hard to untangle itself.
"Should we burn it?" Cheng Shuang asked timidly, a hint of hesitation on her face. At that moment, the girl realized her suggestion was too malicious and quickly rejected it. "Let's not. What if it burns to other rooms? If the boat is damaged, it will cause a lot of trouble."
"No, your suggestion is excellent!" Xie Xiaoxian encouraged Cheng Shuang by ruffling her hair, first giving Cheng Shuang a white pill, and then taking out a card.
"This card is a three-star one-time use card called 'Burn, Wooden Man!' It ignites a target object within a certain range (usually no more than one meter). Regardless of the target object's material or shape, it will burn. Moreover, the fire's destructive power is limited to the target object. Unless there is a skill or card that counters it, it will not be extinguished by water until it is burned to ashes. If the sand monster's attack range hadn't been too wide back in the maze, making it impossible to get close, this card wouldn't be here now."
After Xie Xiaoxian finished introducing the cards, she looked around the room and asked, "So now... where is a lighter?"
Cheng Shuang eagerly raised her hand, "I know!" After saying that, the little girl ran to the bedside, squatted down and pulled out a small box of matches with a cruise ship logo from under the bed.
There are designated smoking areas on board, and smoking is permitted on the balconies of cabins with open balconies, while smoking is prohibited inside the cabins and other public areas.
There was only one match left in the matchbox, which showed that the newlyweds, who hadn't left the house all night, must have smoked quite a lot. However, the ashtray on the coffee table was empty, indicating that he must have strictly followed the rules and gone to the balcony.
Xia Guang checked the bill on the table in the individually charged minibar and found that a pack of cigarettes was missing.
Xie Xiaoxian took the match, lit the card, and threw it at the humanoid monster.
The fire raged instantly, and in the flames, the humanoid monster continued to disassemble his several pairs of arms with an expressionless face, until the flickering firelight covered his entire body.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
A rapid knocking sounded at the door, and someone outside called out, "Please open the door quickly, guest! A guest has complained that you are smoking inside! Guest, open the door!"
The group ignored them, saying that if the waiter was so capable, he should open the door for them; if he did, they would truly be grateful to these line figures.
Perhaps sensing what the people inside were thinking, the waiter spoke again, "If you smoke in the room, you will be fined. Please come out and clarify, otherwise we will automatically deduct the deposit fee from the people in the room."
"Is it referring to the people in the room?" Lie Fu repeated in a low voice.
Hei Zishan frowned, "Isn't that just referring to all of us?"
The little girl pouted and said unhappily, "I knew there were traps everywhere!"
Fortunately, the flames gradually subsided, and the humanoid monster was reduced to ashes from head to toe.
The instant it completely disappeared, a palm-sized green box appeared, and the door clicked open.
"Leave quickly." Shao Yang leaned against the wall and stood up to remind him. Xie Xiaoxian quickly went over to support him, and the two of them went out the door first.
Du Jun led Cheng Shuang away, and the green box was stuffed into Cheng Shuang's backpack by Lie Fu. The group then left one after another.
As if anticipating their numbers, the seven waiters opposite them, all grinning identically, asked, "Sir, are you smoking?"
The seven voices overlapped, creating a chilling echo in the empty corridor.
"Of course not!" Xie Xiaoxian said righteously, her face pale. "We were bothered by the smell of smoke, so we came to this room to complain to its guests!"
Everyone else denied it outright and started complaining about the guests in the room smoking and disturbing the peace.
The waiters tilted their heads, seemingly puzzled.
"Uncle waiter, look, the guests don't want to be disturbed." Cheng Shuang stepped aside, avoiding the door behind her, revealing the display screen on the fingerprint lock, which clearly showed the 'Do Not Disturb' sign. The little girl smiled sweetly, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be standing guard at their door? What if you disturb their rest?"
"Yes!" Xie Xiaoxian's gentle smile couldn't hide her assertiveness. "If you disturb the guests in this room, they might not be as easy to talk to as we are. They might even complain about you! You're not trying to extort money from us and line your own pockets by just finding some random guest to take the blame, are you?"
The waiters immediately stood up straight and shook their heads in unison, saying, "Sir, you're joking."
Lie Fu seized the opportunity and said, "We did talk to him and told him not to break the rules again. Why don't you go back first, and come back if he breaks the rules again?"
What can a waiter do? He can't just barge in.
With no excuses left, I could only leave reluctantly.
Once the silhouettes disappeared at the end of the corridor, Xia Guang quickly opened the door to her room, leading everyone in single file.
