Chapter 328 Underground (4k)
Everyone became a little quiet for a moment.
Indeed, no one knows what the abilities of the two NPCs are, so it is impossible to rule out the possibility that Gou Niutou said.
If this is true, it would be dangerous to stay in the classroom.
"Also, what if the NPC can control us by controlling the shadows under the light?" Gou Niutou continued, "Then we go to the place with lights, but we will send ourselves to death!"
Everyone became more silent.
"You are just guessing." The short ponytail man frowned and said unhappily, "How could it be so coincidental that you just guessed the abilities of the two NPCs?"
"This is indeed my guess, but you can't deny this possibility." Gou Niutou said very seriously, "In the current environment, you judged that it is safer to go to the classroom, which is based on the premise that you have not considered the abilities of the NPCs."
He paused, and then continued: "What if this is a trap set by the game, making us feel that the playground is dangerous at night and guiding us to hide in the classroom? Then we go to the classroom, but it will be more dangerous!"
Everyone looked at each other. In the dark, they could not see each other's expressions clearly, but they could feel each other's hesitation.
After a while, the man with glasses looked at Zhao Xun: "What do you think?"
"I can do either." Zhao Xun gave the same answer as before, "Just make your own decision."
This time, the man with glasses was really anxious: "Why do you always look indifferent? If things go wrong, you will die too. Aren't you afraid?"
"It is very likely that I will not die." Zhao Xun smiled, "Since I can survive no matter what choice you make, then I naturally don't care about your choice."
Not to mention that he has a chance to revive, even if the game limits his number of revival, he will not be the first to die.
His number card is 10, and there are nine players in front of him.
He has three silver cards in his hand, which is more than enough to kill two NPCs.
From any angle, it is not his turn to die.
The man with glasses choked.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that Zhao Xun was telling the truth.
Besides, Zhao Xun's strength is obvious to all, and he does have a high chance of winning against NPCs.
Therefore, Zhao Xun will not be as uneasy as other players.
After taking a deep breath, the man with glasses still asked Zhao Xun unwillingly: "Then can you at least give me a suggestion? Choosing a better option can also increase the safety factor of all of us!"
"It doesn't matter what you choose." Zhao Xun shrugged indifferently, "We don't know the abilities of these two NPCs, and we can't make accurate judgments and choices in a targeted manner, so no matter which one we choose, it's a gamble. The probability of winning or losing is the same, so it doesn't matter which one you choose."
The man with glasses was silent.
The other players couldn't say anything either.
What Zhao Xun said was indeed true.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Xun spoke again: "However, it's now completely dark, and there is only more than an hour left before the end of the second round of the chase. If the NPC wants to sneak attack, it's almost time to do it. At this time, you change your location, and it is inevitable that you will increase the risk of being sneak attacked on the way."
Hearing this, the monkey-faced man immediately changed his mind: "Then don't move, it's better for us to maintain the current state."
During the movement, it is inevitable that it will be loose, and it is difficult to ensure that everyone can maintain such a formation unchanged.
Once a dangerous situation occurs, even if only one person subconsciously flees, the formation will reveal an obvious flaw.
Then he will be in danger.
Standing still is actually conducive to maintaining the formation.
Even if the NPC appears, players are more likely to subconsciously stay close together.
The hip-hop man with the number plate number 2 also echoed: "Yes, yes, I also think it's better to be here."
His worries are the same as the monkey-faced man.
If the monkey-faced man dies, he will be the next unlucky one.
He dare not risk his life.
Then number 3 and number 4 also expressed that they wanted to stand in the playground and did not want to go to the classroom.
The classroom closest to the playground takes three minutes to walk there, and they have to maintain the formation, which takes more time.
If the NPC hunts faster, these top players will all die on the way.
They dare not gamble.
Seeing that so many people disagreed to go to the classroom, the other players were silent for a while.
But this silent atmosphere did not last long, and was soon broken by a "rustling" sound.
Everyone noticed the movement, and suddenly everyone tensed up.
The monkey-faced man tried to open his eyes wide and stare at the sky, but he didn't see anything unusual. He couldn't help but whisper to others: "Did you see where it is? It's not in the sky."
Soon, responses from other players came from all directions.
Everyone didn't see anything unusual in the place where they were responsible for stalking.
And the sound was very close.
"Underground." Zhao Xun said this very lightly, and his right hand moved slightly, and a silver medal had already pierced straight into the source of the sound.
The ground did not rise or fall at all, and it was indeed difficult to determine whether the sound was underground for a while.
Even if you know it is underground, it is not easy to distinguish the exact location.
But the first time Zhao Xun heard the sound, he [beasted] his ears. After the hearing of the dog ears was amplified five times, it was no problem to distinguish such a single sound.
The silver medal was not hard enough, and the soil of the playground was entrenched with grass roots, so it was not easy to penetrate.
However, Zhao Xun changed the shape of the silver medal, turning it into a spiral rivet, which made it much easier to drill into the soil.
Despite the change in shape, the silver medal is still a silver medal, and the material has not been reduced or added.
In essence, it is still a "silver medal", which should be able to kill NPCs.
Anyway, he has three silver medals, so he will use one of them for the experiment first, and the remaining two are enough to kill two NPCs.
Soon, a scream of pain came from the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the ground two meters in front of Zhao Xun undulated like waves.
Zhao Xun knew that he had found the right position, so he controlled the silver medal to drill into the NPC's body.
The screams of pain became louder and louder, and the grass and soil on the ground were completely turned up, and it seemed that a figure was about to come out from the ground.
Just as the players were looking at the turned-up soil, the monkey-faced man suddenly felt something cold touching his neck.
He was startled and tried to retreat away while shouting: "Something touched me..."
But he was surrounded by other players behind him. As the person standing in the center, it was difficult for him to squat down, and he couldn't avoid the touch that gave him goose bumps.
Before everyone could react, the monkey-faced man screamed.
Then, several players standing in front of the monkey-faced man clearly felt something warm sprayed on their hair and necks.
Everyone was a little panicked and turned their heads to look at the monkey-faced man.
The hip-hop man quickly took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight mode, and shone the light on the monkey-faced man.
The monkey-faced man stared with horror, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound.
Because his throat had been cut by a sharp blade.
The warm liquid felt by the players standing in front of the monkey-faced man was the blood spurting out of the artery on the monkey-faced man's neck.
Everyone was a little panicked and subconsciously stayed away from the monkey-faced man who was slowly falling to the ground.
The formation could no longer be maintained.
They looked around, but did not find a single figure.
At the same time, the campus broadcast sounded.
[Player No. 1 has died, and there are 10 players left. ]
"It should be someone who can be invisible!" The man with glasses said immediately, "He can get close to here and successfully kill No. 1 under the close watch of so many of us. Only invisibility can do it."
The hip-hop man's face turned pale. He held a silver medal tightly in his hand. While looking around, he tried to hear some movement with his ears.
He is No. 2.
No. 1 is dead, and it's his turn next.
While he was alert to the surroundings, he quickly approached Zhao Xun.
Although he was not sure that Zhao Xun would protect him, it was safer to stay with Zhao Xun than with others.
The most important thing is that it is a good thing for Zhao Xun to get rid of the NPC as soon as possible. Even if Zhao Xun doesn't want to protect him, there is a chance that he will take action.
While others were looking for invisible NPCs everywhere, Zhao Xun had already solved the NPC underground.
Almost at the same time as the monkey-faced man screamed, a muffled groan was heard from underground.
But the sound was too small compared to the monkey-faced man's scream, and the other players' attention was all on the monkey-faced man, so they ignored the situation on Zhao Xun's side.
After the muffled groan came from underground, the NPC tried to escape. Zhao Xun quickly decomposed the silver medal into several needles with barbs and stabbed the NPC's body according to his feeling.
Until there was no sound from underground, until blood came out of the turned soil, Zhao Xun could still hear the faint breathing and heartbeat.
So, this NPC is not dead yet.
After being attacked by the silver medal so many times, he didn't die completely. Is it because the silver medal with a changed form doesn't work?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xun restored the silver medal to its original appearance and slapped it on the NPC again.
It was obviously not a sharp weapon, but after touching the NPC, the faint heartbeat could not be heard instantly.
With Zhao Xun's hearing ability after [beast transformation], if he can't hear, he must be really dead.
Sure enough, the campus broadcast sounded.
[The cleaning lady has been killed, and there is only one NPC left. ]
After hearing this notice, the originally panicked players finally calmed down a little.
They then noticed that Zhao Xun had already solved the NPC hiding underground.
This was like a shot of adrenaline, giving the surviving players hope of completing the game.
So, everyone tried their best to display their special abilities.
Although their special abilities were really not good compared to Zhao Xun's.
They couldn't use their abilities continuously, nor could they spread their abilities over a large area. Their attack strength was also very limited, and their defense was full of loopholes.
But the special abilities of nine players used at the same time could have a certain deterrent effect.
Zhao Xun glanced at the hip-hop man standing beside him and didn't drive him away.
The hip-hop man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Zhao Xun didn't drive him away, so he had more hope of living.
Each player used their own special abilities, and kept turning around and looking around, making a lot of noise.
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Quiet."
The players didn't know what Zhao Xun wanted to do, but they still kept quiet and even tried to slow down their breathing, fearing that they would affect Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun listened carefully.
In fact, when he listened to the sound underground before, he vaguely heard another movement in the opposite direction.
It was just that the movement was too light and subtle, so he ignored it at the time.
He was not flexible enough to use his ears with super high hearing.
When you concentrate on listening to the sound in one direction, it is easy to ignore other sounds.
Now think about it, it may be that the invisible NPC took advantage of the noise made by the cleaning lady NPC to harvest heads.
The good news is that this means that the invisible NPC cannot approach the player completely silently.
So, as long as the other party takes action, listen carefully, you should be able to hear some unusual movements.
At this time, the sky suddenly flashed a bright light, followed by a "booming" thunder.
"How could it be..." The short-ponytailed man was puzzled and muttered in a low voice, "There are thunders in winter?"
"I guess it's a special setting in the game." The woman in red also lowered her voice and said, "It's to prevent us from hearing the NPC's actions."
Zhao Xun realized the problem the moment he saw the lightning.
He immediately covered his ears to avoid being deafened by the huge thunder after his over-enhanced keen hearing.
At the same time, he [beasted] his nose into a dog's nose and increased his sense of smell five times.
He is now [beasted lv5], which can partially beastify his body and can choose two features to increase five times.
It is not beyond the current ability.
[Beasted] dog nose is to judge whether there is an invasion of strange smells through smell.
Even if his hearing is not damaged, if the NPC deliberately chooses to approach them when thunder is coming, he may not be able to hear it.
At this time, the sense of smell can come in handy.
He quickly adapted to all the existing smells, and carefully distinguished the correspondence between each smell and each player to make sure there are no extra smells.
It seems that the NPC did not dare to act immediately.
The formation of these new players still frightened the NPC.
But these new players have limited mental power and low special ability levels, so they can only release special abilities for a short time.
Once the NPC sees that the abilities of these new players are not to be feared, it is time to act.
Soon, another lightning flash appeared.
Zhao Xun quickly covered his ears.
Then a thunderclap sounded.
Almost at this moment, Zhao Xun smelled a strange smell approaching the direction of the hip-hop man.
This time, the thunderclap lasted for several seconds without stopping, as if it was deliberately helping the NPC to cover its actions.
And the strange smell had taken this great opportunity to run to a place not far in front of the hip-hop man. (End of this chapter)
