Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: Snow City Player

What’s going on?!

Due to the effects of certain Characteristics, most people at the scene were unable to speak, and could only express their shock through their expressions, especially heirs like Dong Jingxuan—because they were one of the main targets. Those who just minutes ago were complacently judging the beauty contest might now be lying on the ground!

However, individuals usually protected by multiple Players are still relatively safe. For those like Wei Chengzhang and Young Master Hong who only had one or two people with them, often overlooked certain risks. Even a missed glance from a Player could mean their demise.

"Non-Players, evacuate the mansion!" A commanding shout came from the center of the venue, and it was only then that the befuddled crowd began running towards the exits—Spatial Teleportation Devices couldn’t be used here, they could only rely on short-distance travel or acceleration Props!

Regrettably, the assassins also came well-prepared. When Dong Jingxuan and the others tried to leave the room, they discovered a thin rope tied around their feet at some point, restricting them to a radius not exceeding two meters!

Brother Lei flipped the crumpled table in front of him and saw the shadow-like line extending from the meeting hall, but debris blocked the view, making it impossible to discern which Player wielded the Prop. Infiltrators from outside had mixed among the Snow City Players, it was hard to tell friend from foe, and even if the person was found, it wasn’t the preferred method to resolve it!

"Use a Prop!" Brother Lei hurried back and immediately took turns with his companions trying on Dong Jingxuan, but dispelling Props were useless, as were attacks or trying to use a Substitute Prop.

"We can’t leave." Noticing that many others were in the same predicament, Brother Lei stood up and said to Dong Jingxuan, "Keep using Teleportation Props. The spatial limitation here might fail at any moment. The moment it does, leave immediately and don’t worry about the others!"

"I didn’t see Dong Qifeng and the others!" Dong Jingxuan said, "Send someone to inform my father and have him send help!"

"Young Master Xuan, rest assured, Sir will definitely know about the incident here at the first moment," Brother Lei said before confronting a Player who was attacking them.

Soon, the other three were also fighting with other Players, while one stayed close to protect Dong Jingxuan, covering both of them with a Defense Prop.

At that moment, no one could care for others. Young Master Hong had already died, and Lao Qi (Old Qi), who was with him, didn’t make it out either. He stayed by default to protect Wei Chengzhang along with Wei Yu and He Ji. The three formed another defensive ring, leaving Xu Huo alone outside.

He stood with Dong Jingxuan, and since many had already seen them together, he wasn’t forgotten either. From the moment Dong Jingxuan was trapped, Xu Huo had been the target of assassination three times and attacked twice.

However, truly elite Players wouldn’t consider him a primary target, so he managed relatively easily, even finding a moment to observe the battle situation at the center of the venue.

At first, it seemed Snow City was at a disadvantage, with many casualties. But now, both sides were in a deadlock around a giant ring in the center of the meeting hall that emitted a sunlight-like glow. Both sides sustained injuries, yet as time passed, hidden enemies among the Snow City Players were mostly exposed, dampening the shock of their turncoat attacks, and the situation became clearer.

The attackers of Snow City Players had an unknown origin, but some of them focused on destroying that giant ring. Snow City’s side, not all elites but experienced in combat, disregarded the ring and simply pursued to kill.

If today’s event, which seemed like a "mobilization meeting," was a prelude to moving to another district, and if this Prop-like ring was a passage to another district... But from the current situation, Snow City Players didn’t care about it at all, so obviously it wasn’t as important as the attackers thought it was.

Regardless of whether it was a real giant Spatial Passage, as long as Snow City Players were indifferent to it, it lost its significance.

At this time, Chi Minghong contacted Xu Huo, briefing him about the lockdown of Snow City. In truth, an hour earlier, the Snow City government had deployed a large number of Players for control, claiming it was a drill, but they had already arrested many Players from other areas. Ten minutes ago, Snow City sounded the alarm, instructing all non-Player residents to return to their homes or take cover nearby. All Players in Snow City, regardless of identity, as long as they were from District 002, were ordered to battle, targeting the capture of external Players and pursuit of Players on the wanted list!

"As a district that entered the game world early, Snow City Players’ wartime cooperation is unmatched by ordinary people, and they are absolutely obedient to commands. One second they could be drinking with Players from other districts, the next they’d be ready to draw their swords at them upon receiving an order."

Chi Minghong quickly said, "All streets have been blocked now, you best find somewhere to hunker down."

After hearing the news, Xu Huo faced an attacking Player’s sword, then deftly retreated, propped against the wall with one hand while activating the "Life Core."

The "Life Core", a Rank A Prop obtained from a member of the Guile Sound Knights, Yuguo, was also Xu Huo’s first Rank A Prop. It could turn metallic objects into dust, the limit being one-third the volume of the object touched. Taking this mansion as an example, including the interior spaces, the metal certainly didn’t make up one-third of the entire building, so the one-third was just an approximate expression. In reality, as long as the metal parts were connected, it could destroy city-scale architectures in one go. If the metals used in the Entertainment Mansion weren’t of a high level, it would be effective.

In fact, it did work, although Xu Huo wasn’t aiming to tear down the entire building; he was just trying to see if he could dispel the Prop effects on Dong Jingxuan. Since it was a Prop dependent on the ground, destroying the ground was the simplest method. Ordinary Props’ destructive range was limited, nowhere near as thorough as the "Life Core". After the metals in the immediate vicinity turned to dust, he quickly retracted and pulled Dong Jingxuan out!

"How many can your Spatial Prop teleport?" he asked.

"Two or three people no problem!" Dong Jingxuan thought Xu Huo intended to flee with him, immediately assured him, but Xu Huo cut him off, "Are you sure you can teleport to a safe place? Snow City is under martial law, the Entertainment Mansion is in this state, is the Dong Family still safe?"

"Absolutely safe!" Dong Jingxuan replied without a second thought, "If the place where my father stays isn’t safe, then there’s no safe place in District 002. The manor itself is a Super Prop of a venue!"

There was no need for further discussion, Xu Huo gestured for him to leave quickly. However, at that moment Dong Jingxuan suddenly saw Dong Yanqiong injured and sitting in the corner. He instinctively wanted to go to her aid, but a cold arrow flew out from the side!
