Chapter 1316: 70 Chapters - Dead End

Dantai Squad was already severely injured, and everyone understood that a prolonged battle was not in their favor, thus they opened with full firepower right away.

As Snow White spun, a fierce whirlwind arose, blinding everyone and causing all attacks to miss.

"Stop, there are footsteps!" Gu Xueqi made a silencing gesture, holding her rifle aimed at the corner.

Ruan Feifei’s mouth twitched, being commanded by a less experienced team member was indeed a blow to her pride, but she had to admit, Gu Xiaohua considered things more comprehensively than she did.

After escaping the enemy, the two entered the Crystal Palace, and Gu Xueqi took out the prepared mat, wrapped it around her feet; although the broadcaster’s thigh-high boots were pretty and made her calves look slender and soft, the sound of them knocking against the floor also clearly exposed her position.

The two slowed their breathing, crouched on the ground, focusing on the intersection, ready to strike at any moment.

The fake Gu Xueqi had no clue, but was very cautious and did not rush into the intersection recklessly. Instead, she used a mirror to scope out the surroundings.

"Impressive!" Gu Xueqi didn’t hesitate, she fired her shot, and a Thunderball whistled out, accurately smashing the mirror and exploding on the fake Gu Xueqi’s hand.

The fake Gu Xueqi screamed, a Phoenix appeared on her hand, healing her wounds as she turned to run, even in combat, trying to gain some advantage from the terrain she had crossed.

"Chase her!" Gu Xueqi darted out, resolute, but that calm and composed expression imparted strength and confidence.

"What if we can’t beat her?" Ruan Feifei was feeling uneasy, "Aren’t you scared?"

"If she was strong, she wouldn’t have run away immediately!" Gu Xueqi lowered her voice, reluctantly explaining. She didn’t want to talk, as her voice could leak information, but if she didn’t, she feared the broadcaster might play tricks and not cooperate.

"What if it’s a trap?" Ruan Feifei was stubborn, but she also understood that this was unlikely since this encounter was sudden and there was no time for the opponent to set up any traps.

"Charge anyway, watch the walls, and if you see any time bombs or such suspicious objects, shout in time!" Gu Xueqi finally gave the broadcaster a bit of respect; what Ruan Feifei could think of, she naturally could as well.

With a tap of her heel, Gu Xiaohua activated the Rose Water Shield, boosting her defense.

"Hm? Is that your clone?" Ruan Feifei had been following Gu Xueqi and was very familiar with her silhouette. Seeing the figure thirty meters ahead, she paused.

"It’s a counterfeit, let’s finish her!" The opponent was alone, and it was obvious what to do, Gu Xueqi rapidly increased her speed, "Fei Fei, don’t waste your electricity; use your Heavy Gravity Gun instead."

Ruan Feifei felt relieved; she always performed better than the fake Gu Xueqi, and was about to unleash her electricity when she heard Gu Xiaohua’s words and stopped decisively, realizing this was not the time to rashly waste life energy, for firearms would suffice.

Gu Xueqi was well-acquainted with herself, which meant she also knew her clone well and could easily guess her thoughts.

The fake Gu Xueqi was as tired as a dog, her chest burning fiercely, unable to escape, the pressing force from behind was nearly suffocating her.

"Don’t rush, just steadily tail her, gradually inching closer. The mental fear and immense pressure will exhaust a person quickly; then we’ll strike!" Gu Xueqi wasn’t impulsive enough for a quick battle; like a treacherous hunter, she patiently waited for the right moment for a decisive blow.

Ruan Feifei glanced at Gu Xueqi, thinking how cunning this girl was. Her confidence in easily winning had been cut by half.

"When she stops later, no talking, just greet her with the strongest attack; it’d be great if you could burst her on the spot!" Gu Xueqi guessed that the fake must be getting desperate.

"Damn, I can’t keep this up; I’ll drag on to death." Realizing she couldn’t shake off the original, the fake Gu Xueqi immediately went all-in, preparing for combat. She hadn’t refrained from setting time bombs, but they couldn’t hurt anyone who had their shield activated.

After turning a corner, the fake Gu Xueqi stopped after running ten meters, aiming at the corner while also preparing a Flame Phoenix on her other hand, ready to shoot.

"Fei Fei, prepare your electrical attack!" Gu Xueqi was disappointed; this opponent was too pathetic. The sudden halt in footsteps gave it away—only a fool wouldn’t know you were preparing for an ambush.

The two rushed to the edge of the passage without entering, only stretching out their muzzles, firing a barrage as a giant Flame Phoenix erupted, nearly filling the entire hallway.

Ruan Feifei’s electricity was faster, a huge column of electricity entered the passage, exploding with crackling sounds filling it up, and instantly struck the fake Gu Xueqi.

The fake Gu Xueqi activated her shield in time but still staggered from the hits, hastily releasing the Flame Phoenix which, apart from wasting life energy, didn’t even touch the enemy.

"Kill!" Gu Xueqi roared and charged out, opening fire, and the broadcaster also went full firepower, the two suppressing the clone without any problem.

"So exhilarating!" That dominating, oppressive sensation was incredibly exhilarating, Ruan Feifei almost climaxed.

Gu Xueqi deployed the shield of the Midnight Pumpkin Carriage, bravely facing the clone’s attacks, charging forward, and by the time the clone thought to run, it was already too late.

The carriage cast a group slow halo, and the fake Gu Xueqi immediately felt her body stiffen.

Without any suspense, the battle lasted two minutes. The clone was split into char by a lightning strike from Ruan Feifei, followed by a Gravity Ball that blasted her body apart.

Gu Xueqi did not rashly move to pick up the spoils of war, planning to wait a few seconds.

"It’s all yours," Ruan Feifei said, feeling this was her way of showing goodwill, but she did not lack the equipment on the clone’s body, generously waving her hand.

This concession allowed them to avoid the self-destruction of the Space Wristwatch, leaving them unharmed.

"Why come together?" the Hero Mode fake Tang Zheng asked, grabbing a dwarf’s armature, slamming it on the ground, and relentlessly beating its head. Without weapons, his combat power was greatly diminished.

The military general, acting as a meat shield, resisted three other dwarfs while the female musketeers moved around for sniping. However, their weak firepower soon made Tang Zheng cancel the summons.

"Group Leader, save me!" Teng Yuangxiang cried out desperately, her controlled newbie puppets all dead.

These four were Snow White’s dwarf guards. During patrol, they encountered the unlucky fake Tang Zheng and immediately attacked. Despite being called dwarfs, each was three meters tall with robust builds, resembling a mass of muscle. Three wielded trumpet-shaped muzzle firearms, shooting powerful energy spheres, and these were the weaker ones.

The military general was entangled with the strongest one, carrying a sinister electrically-enshrouded Storm Hammer. Each swing scattered blue electric arcs in the air, causing numbness in their opponents.

"Damn it!" The fake Tang Zheng was fierce, disregarding his wounds, forcefully broke a dwarf’s neck, grabbed a firearm, and shot an approaching dwarf.

The energy sphere hit the dwarf’s chest, igniting his chest hair.

"Let’s go!" Seeing they were overpowered, the fake Tang Zheng was not reckless. He kicked the dwarf chasing Teng Yuangxiang, saved her, and then pulled her to flee.

"Thank you!" Teng Yuangxiang was immensely touched, feeling the fake Tang Zheng was even better than the real one, especially since he only had her with him. Just as she was thinking about how to seduce him after getting to safety, a whooshing sound came from behind.

"Watch out!" The fake Tang Zheng turned and fired at the incoming Storm Hammer.

The Storm Hammer targeted at Teng Yuangxiang spiraled and crashed into the ceiling, shards of the broken crystal splashing out, casting dizzying ripples. This was a Triple S Rank weapon, inherently possessing flight impact, blunt trauma, and group stun effects.

The fake Tang Zheng was affected, and Teng Yuangxiang suffered a splitting headache and screamed out.

The dwarfs pounced forward. This time, the fake Tang Zheng did not protect Teng Yuangxiang. Continuing to fight violently would cost his own life. Moreover, the severely wounded Teng Little Three could not endure in this high-intensity chase any longer and dying early might be a relief.

The seven dwarfs had already seen four killed by the fake Tang Zheng, so he knew their strength transferred to the others, meaning by the end, he would be facing the combined force of seven dwarfs.

Watching the fake Tang Zheng run past her without expression, Teng Yuangxiang was initially stunned, then overtaken by endless fear.

"Don’t leave me, please!" Teng Yuangxiang couldn’t see the fake Tang Zheng looking back as a dwarf, solid like a mountain, swung the Storm Hammer with a gust of wind, smashing towards her cheek.

"If it were Tang Zheng, he would surely save me, I shouldn’t have run!" This thought was Teng Yuangxiang’s last as her vision filled with the grim Storm Hammer.

The Warhammer, carrying Teng Little Three, smashed into the Crystal Wall, and her upper body was obliterated into pulp. Her skull tumbled, and the lower half of her body slid to the ground, blood spilling out.

Tang Zheng discovered the use of the Magic Mirror, shining it in the room, revealing stored items without opening doors. Mostly monsters and what Trojan spoke of as a key, not even a shadow was seen.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Zheng was still inspecting room by room but was visibly distracted.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Fan, riding a Spider Mount, asked Tang Zheng, "Put in a little more effort, maybe we’ll clear this stage."

"It’s not right, going on like this, we’ll surely fail," Tang Zheng shook his head.

"Why? Didn’t we find a shortcut?" Pang Meiqin felt it was already good. If not for the Magic Mirror, they would have needed to open each door to test, and the monsters alone could grind them down.

"It’s not right, there must be something we’re not considering," Tang Zheng stared at the Magic Mirror in his hand, gazing at the cracks, unable to think of the answer, "Otherwise, running like this, we’ll collapse before seeing Snow White."

"Don’t be too anxious. Our pace is quite fast already," Lu Fan comforted Tang Zheng, trying to smooth his furrowed brow, "Things will straighten out when we reach the bridge."

Everyone persuaded Tang Zheng, feeling that reaching this point was already perfect. Frankly, even if they died now, they would be content. If not for the group leader, they would definitely not have made it.

"Think again; this is a Dark Fairy Tale. There must be clues in the original fairy tale," Tang Zheng sighed. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote and support us. Your support is our greatest motivation.)
