Chapter 479 Busy Master Zheng
The moment he spotted the black shadow, Zheng Xun picked up his hammer and shouted -
"Run!"
"?"
Before Yunjing could react, he was pulled away by Zheng Xun.
"Wait, Zheng Xun, we don't want to solve it-"
"What to solve? If it doesn't solve it, we'll be fine! Run faster, run faster!"
Zheng Xun ran ahead, Yunjing followed him closely.
The map of the headquarters was somewhat different from the one Zheng Xun had seen before. At least he still couldn't find the stairs leading to the second floor.
There is an elevator, but you should never use it unless absolutely necessary. The space of the elevator is small, making it inconvenient to defend and attack. And if it breaks and gets stuck in the middle, they will really become a monster's meal.
The long and narrow shadow followed closely behind the two people. Although it didn't move very fast, it had long arms and legs and could take ten steps at a time, so it was more than enough to chase two human players.
It is cunning and doesn't roar like other monsters. It chases behind the player without making any sound.
And its body color will change with the environment. In the moonlight, it has a very dark gray-white tone, but in the shadow, it completely turns into pure black.
It can integrate with the environment at any time, which is even more difficult for Zheng and Xun to deal with!
It would be great if Dahei was here...
Zheng Xun missed his subordinate very much at this time.
Dahei himself is a shadow, and his advantages are fully demonstrated in this dark environment. And it's far more flexible than this thin guy, and can take out the opponent in three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes.
It's a pity that Dahei stayed in the wax museum copy forever, and now Zheng Xun can only rely on himself.
Yunjing was a little confused. According to Zheng Xun's past character, no matter what monster came in front of him, he would just swing at it with a hammer.
If it works, just do it, if not, run away.
But now he skipped the steps and ran away directly. Yunjing didn't realize it yet, this was not Zheng Xun's usual style.
Zheng Xunji now has a psychological shadow on these shadow monsters.
Back in the wax museum, he let his guard down, which ultimately led to Dahei sacrificing himself to get him out.
Now he has no chance of trial and error. There will no longer be subordinates cleaning up the mess for him, and there will no longer be any simulations to help him figure it out.
From the moment he entered the main entrance of Yunqi Building, every step he took had to be carefully planned. He couldn't waste too much energy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to reach the twentieth floor and would have died of exhaustion midway.
Zheng Xun led Yun Jing to avoid strange shadows while looking for the stairs leading to the upper floor.
He had just seen the sign for the elevator, but the stairs and the elevator were not in the same place.
Seeing the shadow behind him getting closer and closer, Zheng Xun glanced out of the corner of his eye while running and finally found a small arrow with an A4 paper posted next to it.
——Go straight ahead to the end, and you will see the stairs on the right.
"Yunjing, this way, this way -"
Zheng Xun asked Yun Jing to come over quickly, and the two of them ran along the long and narrow corridor.
Zheng Xun deliberately slowed down his pace, letting Yun Jing run ahead of him.
He stayed behind so he could easily observe the path of the strange shadow.
The wall on this side of the corridor was much lower than that of the hall. The strange figure shook its head and rotated its body, and the spiral instantly increased a few times.
It lets the head go in first, then the body. It seems that its body cannot become smaller or larger at will. Zheng Xun remembered this.
The strange shadow stretched its neck and entered the corridor in an awkward posture, chasing the two human players. Yunjing entered the stairs first, followed closely by Zheng Xun.
Zheng Xun turned the hammer in his hand into a hatchet. He saw the moment when the strange shadow was about to bite him, and used the hatchet to chop its head hard!
A crack cut by a knife suddenly appeared on Shadow's head, but soon, the crack was quickly closed again, as if it had never appeared before.
Zheng Xun's attack is ineffective!
"Holy shit, I knew this would happen!"
When Zheng Xun saw the monster's form, he realized that it must be impossible to kill or damage. If a subordinate is around and swallows it whole, then there is still fun to be had.
Now it seems that he was not wrong at all. This thing is between the entity and the non-entity. Ordinary damage is ineffective against it, but its attack can actually cause physical damage to the environment and the player himself.
...Where the hell can you reason with this? !
Zheng Xun was not fond of fighting, so he ran away after teasing her. After basically confirming that this ugly "screw" was probably an unsolvable monster, he closed the fire door and ran upstairs screaming.
Monkeys will shout to attract the attention of their companions. Yunjing was not frightened by the monsters in the copy. He was startled by Zheng Xun's shouts first.
"Zheng Xun, are you okay?"
"fine!"
Zheng Xun ran very fast, and he was on the steps below the cloud scene.
"I'll shout a few times to increase my momentum and make the monster retreat!"
"..."
The monster definitely doesn't know the advanced tactic of retreating despite difficulties. It will just rush forward without thinking.
However, the stairs are twice as narrow as the corridor. Its body cannot shrink freely, so it can only wrap itself around a few times to compress its size. This makes it seem a bit cramped, and its movement is far less convenient than before.
Master Zheng, holding a hatchet in his hand, was very busy. He would observe the location of the monster, urge Yun Jing to run up quickly, and occasionally extend the hatchet down a flight of stairs to stir things up, doing some meaningless but very special things. Provocative attack.
After running for two minutes, Yunjing shouted from above.
"Zheng Xun! The top is sealed!"
"Run into the corridor--"
Zheng Xun made a prompt decision, and Yun Jing also reacted quickly. He turned and ran into the nearest corridor, and Zheng Xun was behind him.
After passing through the fire door, there was another door inside. Yun Jing ran into this door first, opened one of the two door panels, and let Zheng Xun in.
Then he closed the opened door and inserted the Miao Dao in his hand horizontally between the door handles. The strange shadow banged on the door outside, but because the Miao Dao blade was stuck in a good position, it could not get in.
Zheng Xun also took a breath and glanced at the Miao Dao on the door.
"You put the knife here, what weapon will you take later?"
"Don't worry," Yun Jing operated a few times on the screen of the bracelet, and turned out an identical knife, "I have a spare here."
"..."
A real swordsman never carries more than one knife.
The strange shadow rushed outside for a few minutes, and seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, he slowly gave up.
Zheng Xun stood behind the door panel and felt the cold air outside the door gradually dissipate.
"It's gone."
He and Yun Jing looked at each other.
The tense bodies of the two people relaxed for a moment and began to observe the environment they were in.
"This is the fourth floor." Yun Jing looked at the number hanging on the wall next to him.
Zheng Xun was also observing and saw many neatly arranged workstations here.
"This... should be the office area?"
