NOVEL WEB Chapter 261: Rule Object_2
And then, one monster in each hand.
If it wasn't necessary to lift the fruit knife and get to work, he probably would've been too lazy to move his hands at all.
...
In fact, this was the first time Xu Shuo had used "One-Click Kill" on an Abyss Creature.
Because before, he couldn't beat even one.
But whether used on humans or monsters, this skill demonstrated an incredibly powerful ability to kill in one hit!
After being hit, humans seemed to die suddenly, losing all signs of life, while the Abyss Creatures would disintegrate into black mist without any warning, leaving nothing behind in the end but foul air. Continue reading at empire
As a result, Xu Shuo still hadn't figured out how this thing attacked.
But that wasn't a big problem, as long as it was useful!
The creatures swarming towards them were like moths drawn to a flame, each one charging towards the Watchtower with frenzied grimaces, only to be reduced to nothingness in an instant, scattering into the air.
The Red Moon in the sky gradually brightened, its crimson hues spilling over the sandy earth, casting a desolate and eerie scroll.
Yet the walls of Giant Fortress radiated a faint milky glow, and the Tall Tower in the center stood proudly, resisting the dark onslaught from all directions, noble and holy like an exquisitely rare treasure untainted by filth.
On the distant horizon, more swelling groups of black figures emerged—stronger, more numerous Abyss Creatures howling and screaming as they rushed toward the fortress isolated in the barren land!
The battle was fiercest when the players were most exhausted.
These monsters knew neither redundant emotions, fear, nor the concept of fatigue and retreat; they would relentlessly tear at you in a frenzy, until they had devoured every last bit of your flesh and blood!
There was no attack as desperate and collapsing as the day before, yet the battle remained fierce.
All night, the players needed to fend off the invasion without a moment's rest, until the light of the Red Moon gradually faded, until the world plunged into a silent darkness.
Until there were no more creatures.
If nothing unexpected happened, that's how the players who came here spent three days of time.
Only, if not because too many people died in the dark surge yesterday, in fact, with tonight's attacking strength, the players should have been relatively at ease.
But what else could be said now.
After defending the castle, the somewhat bedragled players simply sat down where they were.
Some were happy they finally made it through the last day, others were worried about tomorrow's defense with even fewer people—how they would hold up, while those severely injured in the battle couldn't care less about anything.
Wei Li's primary tool was a submachine gun; apart from firing until exhaustion, he had no other significant drain.
Solunya's bow and arrows, on the other hand, were purely a squeeze on his own energy. Now sitting on the ground and resting, he watched Xu Shuo across from him, who appeared tranquil and at ease, with an inquiring gaze.
The other party showed no signs of dishevelment, even his white lab coat was still spotlessly clean, untainted by a speck of dirt.
The young man was fiddling with the fruit knife in his hand. If there was any injury, it was probably from cutting his own finger.
Right at that moment, as if sensing a gaze lingering too long, the young man turned his head, his face wearing a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Solunya's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously looked away as if nothing had happened.
By the time he realized his reaction, he was already feeling somewhat embarrassed about his instinctive retreat, resulting in a very stiff expression on his face.
When Wei Li looked over, he was taken aback, "Solunya, you're injured, aren't you?"
Solunya responded dryly and then stood up, heading downstairs to the interior of the fortress.
Wei Li, not understanding, assumed he was going to the frontlines to recover from his injuries, as the energy there indeed had that effect.
Then, withdrawing his gaze from his departing teammate, Wei Li turned to face the young man's inscrutable look; the directness of it seemed a bit off...
Wei Li felt a sharp sense of danger.
He forced a smile, asking stiffly, "Pei, are you... are you injured?"
Xu Shuo caressed the fruit knife in his hand, his expression calm, "No."
Wei Li, "...Oh, well... looks like I'm injured, I plan to go and heal inside the frontline. I'll leave you to watch the wall for now."
As he spoke, without waiting for Xu Shuo's response, Wei Li put away his submachine gun, quickly climbed over the edge of the balcony, and jumped down, leaving!
He thought he understood Solunya's reaction just now.
But this man had strong backers, not to be offended—and looking at the BUG-like combat ability he had shown tonight, it seemed they couldn't afford to offend him either.
The skill that wiped creatures out without leaving a trace was terrifying; there was no way to detect how the attack was launched!
An attack without a trace was hard to defend against.
So Wei Li chose to flee swiftly, and he didn't even want to explore the malicious intent that the other party had just radiated. After all, he would be able to leave this world after daylight.
Xu Shuo watched innocently as the two retreated in succession.
In the boring conversation last night, he learned that Solunya was a level three player, while Wei Li, like him, had failed at level two during the assessment scenario.
You see, back in the "Five-star Hotel," Xu Shuo couldn't even beat Patient No. 8, who was scared to death!
Patient No. 8 → Male Waiter—this was the second time Xu Shuo had encountered him.
The first time might have been because No. 8 was too physically weak, and because Doctor Chu was actually quite good in combat, Xu Shuo had managed to slit his throat with one knife.
