Chapter 324 Maybe It Can Be Faster (4k)

After searching the remaining areas of the library, Zhao Xun summoned a golden monkey to guard it and headed for the fifth building.

"Do you want to take a break?" The man with glasses looked at Zhao Xun and asked with some concern, "Killing three NPCs in a row should consume a lot of energy."

"No need." Zhao Xun waved his hand indifferently, "The interval between killing each NPC is not short, enough for a break."

In fact, for him, the current consumption is not great.

It is far less than the mental energy consumed by him in the amusement park when he kept killing the increasingly powerful NPCs.

The strength of the NPCs this time is average, and there are only a few of them.

However, he didn't need to reveal the truth to them.

Seeing Zhao Xun say this, the man with glasses stopped persuading him.

Among the players, several people secretly looked at Zhao Xun.

They were very curious about the bottom line of Zhao Xun's strength.

But no one dared to ask this question.

Then they searched the fifth and sixth buildings, but no NPC was found.

Countdown 03:16:51.

"This time, they should have realized that something was wrong and hid themselves, right?" The short ponytail man muttered.

"I think it's very likely." The dog-chewing head nodded in agreement, "They should have estimated that they might lose several teammates in a round of pursuit. Now three of them have died in succession, and there are still three hours left in the first round of pursuit. They must have guessed that something went wrong."

"Then do we still conduct a carpet search step by step?" The short ponytail man asked, "Or should we first find a place where people can easily hide?"

"Let's do it step by step." The glasses man insisted, "Otherwise the rhythm of finding people will be too chaotic."

"Do you think it's possible that they dug a hole and buried themselves in the ground?" The lame man suddenly spoke up, "In this case, we can't find anyone just by looking for the room."

"According to what you said, do we have to find an excavator and dig deep into the ground of the entire school?" The red-clothed woman couldn't help but complain.

"Don't say that there is no excavator here. Even if we really find an excavator, how long will it take to dig deep into the ground of the entire school?" The glasses man frowned.

"It would be nice if there was an infrared detector." The hip-hop man sighed, "Those NPCs are all human-like, they are definitely not cold-blooded animals, right? With an infrared detector, it will be much easier to find them."

While other players were discussing fiercely, Zhao Xun was summoning the macaque and telling him to guard the sixth building.

The macaque was still trying to remember the faces of the players, and Zhao Xun suddenly heard the voice of the golden monkey in his mind.

"Master, a stranger has entered the library."

Zhao Xun stood up and said to the other players: "Follow me, fast but light."

After that, he quickly walked downstairs.

At the same time, he asked the golden monkey in his mind: "Where are you hiding?"

"What's wrong?" The man with glasses walked quickly to Zhao Xun's side and asked in a low voice subconsciously.

Zhao Xun raised his hand and signaled the man with glasses not to speak.

The man with glasses had no choice but to follow Zhao Xun quietly.

The other players also followed in silence.

Although they didn't know what happened, everyone was tense.

The voice of the golden monkey sounded in Zhao Xun's mind again: "He hid on the first floor, under the lending desk."

"When he hid in, did he carry anything conspicuous?" Zhao Xun asked again, "Or, did he protect something in particular? He seemed to care a lot."

There was silence for a while, and then a voice came out: "Before he hid, he hid something in the computer host."

"The computer on the lending desk?" Zhao Xun confirmed.

"Yes," the golden monkey replied.

Zhao Xun asked again: "Are you still near him now?"

"No," the golden monkey said honestly, "I'm a little far away from you. I left the library and approached you so that I could communicate with you."

"Okay," Zhao Xun was not surprised by this, but just instructed, "I'll be there soon, you go back and guard first to confirm whether his position has changed."

"I know." The golden monkey agreed, and then there was silence.

Zhao Xun then said to the other players: "I just received a notification from the golden monkey that an NPC entered the library and hid."

Other players were immediately excited when they heard this.

The tense atmosphere was swept away, and everyone showed an expectant look.

Since no other NPCs have been found for the time being, it is the best choice to return to the library and attack that NPC first.

"You...you have telepathy with those animals?" The hip-hop man asked Zhao Xun with some curiosity.

Just now he watched the whole process, but he never saw Zhao Xun open his mouth.

But Zhao Xun actually said "I received a notification from the golden monkey", and it seemed that he had completed the conversation with the golden monkey during the period of silence.

Then only telepathy can explain it.

It seems that these monkeys and gorillas are not ordinary animals, but Zhao Xun's special items.

Although he had this guess before, he didn't dare to confirm it because he had never really seen a living special item.

Zhao Xun did not answer the hip-hop man, but walked forward quickly.

After walking a certain distance, he finally communicated with the golden monkey again.

Not long after the golden monkey ran out of the library to inform Zhao Xun, the NPC closed the door of the library.

In order not to alert the enemy, it did not dare to open the door and go in.

However, there is an open-air staircase on the side of the outer wall of the library that leads directly to the top floor. From there, you can climb up to the second floor and see the NPC hiding through the transparent glass window.

The NPC did not change its position and did not find the golden monkey.

When Zhao Xun led a group of people to the outside of the library, he had already described the situation of the NPC.

Now everyone knows that the NPC is hiding under the borrowing desk.

The biggest problem is how to open the glass door of the library without making any sound.

"It doesn't matter if he makes a sound," the man with glasses whispered, "The gate is very close to the lending desk, and the NPC doesn't have time to run."

"None of us knows what the NPC's ability is." The woman in red lowered her voice and retorted, "If he can be invisible, or can turn into a small animal, or can teleport, then as long as he hears a little noise, he can immediately hide somewhere else, and it will be difficult for us to find him."

Just when the other players were about to say something else, Zhao Xun had already walked in front of the glass door.

Everyone suddenly quieted down and looked at Zhao Xun.

The hip-hop man suddenly thought of something: "Is he going to use that..."

"Which one?" The man with glasses looked at the hip-hop man.

It was at this time that Zhao Xun used [Teleport] to teleport from outside the glass door to the lending desk.

When the other players saw this scene, they immediately remembered that when Zhao Xun took the silver medal of the short ponytail man, he also suddenly flashed in front of the short ponytail man.

But they didn't expect that this ability could actually pass through obstacles.

When the man with glasses turned around, he saw Zhao Xun standing in front of the lending desk.

He was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment before he realized what was going on.

Everyone held their breath, fearing that any movement would alert the NPC.

Zhao Xun, who was standing in front of the lending desk, had no intention of catching the NPC. Instead, he reached out and opened the cover of the computer host on the table.

The other players widened their eyes in surprise, wondering what Zhao Xun was doing.

He didn't sneak attack at this time, but instead messed with the computer host. What did he want to do?

In the quiet library, the sound of the host being disassembled was particularly loud. The NPC hiding under the lending desk immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly got out.

At the same time as the NPC got out, Zhao Xun had already seen the thing in the host that should not belong to the computer host, a security certificate.

It was not until Zhao Xun took the security certificate in his hand that the NPC stood up and faced Zhao Xun directly.

Zhao Xun saw the NPC's dress clearly and he was indeed a security guard.

When the NPC security guard saw what Zhao Xun had in his hand, his face changed.

Zhao Xun did not wait for the NPC security guard to speak, and used [Telekinesis] to appear outside the glass door.

Zhao Xun handed the security card to the monkey-faced man: "Burn it."

After several previous cooperations, the monkey-faced man was full of trust in Zhao Xun.

Although he did not know how Zhao Xun knew that this thing was the "weakness" of the NPC, he believed in Zhao Xun's judgment.

He immediately took out a lighter and lit the security card.

At this moment, the NPC security guard had just walked to the glass door, and before he had time to open the glass door, one of his legs burned without warning.

He screamed, but still opened the glass door with force.

One leg was quickly burned, and he could not balance his body, fell to the ground, and then used both hands to crawl in front of the monkey-faced man.

The monkey-faced man retreated and could not help muttering: "This trick again... If it happens a few more times, I feel like I will be immune to this scene."

When the math teacher crawled over at first, he was really scared to death.

But now... I don't seem to feel much.

Maybe I'm desensitized.

The NPC security guard finally failed to crawl close to the monkey-faced man and was burned to ashes.

Immediately afterwards, the campus broadcast sounded.

[The security guard has died, and there are 7 NPCs left. ]

Everyone subconsciously looked up at the countdown in the air.

03:01:33

"I feel... we might really be able to kill more than 6 NPCs in the first round of the chase, and kill the rest with silver medals in the second round." The short ponytail man said excitedly.

There are still three hours left.

In the previous three and a half hours, four NPCs have been killed.

Even if the next NPC is hidden and difficult to find, it shouldn't be too difficult to kill two in three hours, right?

As long as two more NPCs can be killed, it won't be difficult to kill the remaining five NPCs with five silver medals in the second round of the chase!

Thinking of this, the short ponytail man couldn't help but feel happy.

The other players looked at each other, and none of them refuted the short ponytail man.

They all hoped so.

And the probability of this hope coming true is not small.

Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously looked at Zhao Xun.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Zhao Xun smiled: "Maybe it can be faster."

"How faster?" The short ponytail man asked excitedly, "Have you thought of a better way to search for NPCs?"

"It was he who reminded me..." Zhao Xun glanced at the hip-hop man, but didn't say more.

The hip-hop man looked confused.

He didn't remember saying anything particularly constructive.

But the next second, the hip-hop man understood what was going on.

Because Zhao Xun turned into a giant rattlesnake.

His waist and abdomen were twice as thick as a human's, and he was more than 30 meters long.

He looked like a giant snake spirit or snake monster that only appeared in movies and TV series.

It was not until this time that the hip-hop man reacted.

He seemed to have mentioned "infrared detectors" before, and snakes with cheek pits can sense temperature changes.

These snakes rely on infrared sensing to hunt.

He just said it casually at the time, and he didn't expect anyone among them to take out an infrared detector.

He didn't expect Zhao Xun to be able to turn into a snake and become a biological version of an "infrared detector".

Even though he had seen many of Zhao Xun's abilities, when he saw this scene, he still had an indescribable amazement.

After Zhao Xun used [Beast Transformation] to turn into a rattlesnake, the function of the cheek pits was amplified five times, and the swimming speed was also amplified five times.

He raised his head and stood it up high, almost flush with the roofs of these six-story buildings.

In order to facilitate movement and reduce the consumption of mental power, he did not maximize his snake body.

What he needed was the ability of "infrared sensing". A body length of more than 30 meters was enough for him to overlook the campus.

As a snake of such a large body, with the ability of the cheek pits increased five times, it was not a problem to sense all the heat sources in the entire campus.

Soon, he determined the location of five NPCs.

But there were seven NPCs left, and two were not found.

Zhao Xun swam towards the nearest NPC while changing the direction of sensing. There were only five people, and the last two did not appear.

It seems that these two NPCs may be hiding in a place full of metal, such as a relatively large metal box.

Metal can reflect or absorb infrared rays, which will block infrared sensing.

Zhao Xun did not feel anxious because of this, and he soon came to the downstairs of the dormitory.

Other players also hurriedly followed.

Zhao Xun carefully identified the location of the NPC, and after determining the location of the NPC, he turned into a sparrow and flew straight to the second bedroom on the fourth floor.

The players only saw the huge python suddenly disappear, followed by a small sparrow that suddenly appeared and flew quickly into the dormitory building.

"It's on the fourth floor, let's catch up." The hip-hop man said to the other players.

"I think it's better for us to wait here," the man with glasses had a different opinion, "Maybe he has brought the things down before we climb to the fourth floor."

"I agree with the glasses' suggestion," the lame man agreed, "If we climb the stairs, we might end up wasting time."

Others thought about the situation of dealing with the NPC security guard just now, and they all felt that it was more appropriate to wait downstairs than to go upstairs.

Seeing this, the hip-hop man no longer insisted, and looked up at the dormitory on the fourth floor with the others. (End of this chapter)
