131 Dead End
◎Vomiting blood◎
Qi Qiuxue's bone knife is better at close combat, and was clearly at a disadvantage when facing the long-handled sickle in Xie Xing's hand.
Seeing this, Li Yiqing pulled out his crossbow and shot an arrow in the direction of Xie Xing, but the other party dodged it with his quick reaction.
"Isn't it a little too late to realize this now?" Xie Xing chuckled and responded to Qi Qiuxue's question, "Yes, I am indeed a player."
"Why are you attacking us?" Qi Qiuxue said coldly, tightly gripping the bone knife in her hand.
"Why else? It's for your weapons and props, of course." Xie Xing glanced at the three of them in turn, and said in a relaxed tone, "Bone knife, sword, crossbow... they all look pretty good."
"If it is fused with my sickle, it will definitely greatly improve my weapon rating."
Qi Qiuxue frowned when she heard this: "Fusion?"
"He should be a weapon hunter." Without waiting for Xie Xing to respond, Su Wen on the side whispered. In order to establish a guild, she often hangs out in forums, asking for information while looking for players who can be won over.
It was a forum that only those selected by the game could enter. Items would sometimes be exchanged or auctioned there, some guilds would post recruitment messages there, there were also many spam posts, and some players would even scam others there.
Although she had never seen Xie Xing's name in the forum, she had seen other players posting to curse similar people. They would mingle among normal players and complete the dungeon with everyone, but they might take advantage of others' unpreparedness and secretly attack one or several people in order to steal their weapons and props.
Once this method succeeds, the robbed player will have only two outcomes: one is to lose the fight and surrender to the other party wholeheartedly, voluntarily transferring his weapons; the other is to be killed, lose the ability to resist, and everything in the backpack will fall directly into the hands of others.
But generally speaking, once a weapon leaves its original owner and becomes someone else's trophy, its effectiveness is often greatly reduced. Instead of putting it in a backpack to keep it, it is better to use props to dissolve it and add it to your own weapon.
Su Wen quickly explained to Qi Qiuxue, "He must have had a lot of experience in this area before. That sickle in his hand... be careful!"
Perhaps noticing that Li Yiqing was in the worst condition among the three, Xie Xing swung his sickle and attacked again.
Seeing this, Li Yiqing reflexively raised her crossbow, but because of her poor condition, she couldn't even aim accurately. Since then, she felt shortness of breath, weakness in her hands and feet, dizziness and tinnitus, and could not concentrate.
In this state, not to mention summoning skeletons, even fighting back is a bit difficult.
Because of the punishment bestowed by the Lord God, her various abilities and physical qualities were infinitely weakened in this dungeon. In order to prevent her from excessively interfering with other players' dungeon completion progress in the form of a skeleton, there was even a punishment that would accompany her until her death or the end of the game.
The Lord God did not directly tell her the specific content of the punishment, but the unknown is often the most terrifying. To a certain extent, this punishment did have a great restrictive effect on Li Yiqing.
Just like she always protected Qi Qiuxue in the past, Qi Qiuxue moved sideways to protect her behind him, and took Xie Xing's attack. She used the force of her wrist to slide the bone knife to the right, and stuck it on the curve of the sickle, pushing the sickle backwards while exerting force.
So Xie Xing's attack deviated in direction, and the sharp blade scratched the wall, leaving a very deep mark.
"What's going on? What on earth is going on?!"
"Help! Someone's killing someone!"
"Run, get out of here!"
The few of them have not left the dungeon until now and are still in the hotel. They discovered that a fight had broken out in the lobby. Most of the NPCs were originally on the sidelines, and quite a few even thought that the people were holding movie and TV props, and the previous quarrels and fights were just acting.
It was not until this moment that everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
More and more NPCs who were watching quickly fled to the door, fearing that the fight would affect them. However, when they arrived at the door, they unexpectedly found that the hotel door could not be opened smoothly.
——As early as a few minutes ago, Xie Xing used a locking tool on the door, with a time limit of half an hour. No matter what method he tried, he could not unlock it during the period when the tool was in effect.
"Tsk." Xie Xing frowned in frustration as he watched more and more NPCs gathering around him. In fact, he could just kill all these NPCs, but once the number of slaughter exceeded a certain limit, it would cause a large fluctuation or even collapse of the world line, which would not be worth the loss.
"Why don't we go to another place?" Xie Xing had been doing this kind of inhumane thing for a long time, and his backpack had accumulated a lot of props looted from everywhere, such as the [Fictional Space].
With this item, the user can create a fictional space out of thin air and trap the person of their choice inside. The time limit is one hour and it cannot be broken by force. The user can only escape when the time limit expires or the person dies.
For a moment, the ground beneath my feet shook violently, and at the same time, the hotel scene completely disappeared, replaced by a blank space that seemed to have no end, as if I was in nothingness.
But in fact...the place where they are is a multi-faceted irregular space. It seems to be huge and accessible in all directions, but in fact there are invisible air walls everywhere. Their existence has no pattern at all. Even if they stay here for a long time, they can never fully understand it.
Unless another prop is called out for use.
——【Peeping Mirror.】
Xie Xing put a pair of pure white glasses on his nose. These were relatively high-quality props. Not only could he see the air walls set up in irregular spaces, he could even evaluate the opponent's various numerical values.
Originally, he thought that the sickly curly-haired woman was the easiest player to deal with, but when he looked at Li Yiqing through his glasses, he found that her stats were surprisingly high.
But correspondingly, the health value has already turned red, which is completely lower than the normal level, and is even slowly decreasing with the passage of time.
In that case, instead of wasting time and energy fighting her now, it would be better to wait until her health is almost gone and then kill her in one fell swoop.
As for the other two players, even though the woman with the low ponytail has a much higher intelligence level than the other one, her physical fitness is correspondingly pitifully low, so targeting her is the best choice.
Moreover, the bone knife in her hand seemed quite good. Xie Xing had never seen anyone use a similar weapon before.
Almost in an instant, Xie Xing determined the target of attack, jumped up directly, and swung the sickle towards Qi Qiuxue.
He was very familiar with the advantages of his weapon and always controlled the distance. While avoiding the attacks of Su Wen and Li Yiqing, he launched a highly targeted long-range attack on Qi Qiuxue. In order to avoid the sharp blade of the sickle, Qi Qiuxue could never get close to him and could only dodge again and again in very dangerous postures and angles.
Xie Xing was not in a hurry about this, and he even enjoyed the process of gradually pushing people into a desperate situation. He always intended to drive Qi Qiuxue towards the nearest air wall until her back was about to touch the wall.
Xie Xing increased the frequency and strength of his attacks. Qi Qiuxue jumped up and dodged backwards, but failed to dodge. Her body hit a hard surface, but to the naked eye, there was clearly nothing there.
"Sizzle."
Suddenly, the sound of a knife cutting through flesh rang in my ears, accompanied by the loud shouts of Li Yiqing and Su Wen.
Qi Qiuxue looked at her abdomen where the sickle had pierced her, lowered her head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
