Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: There is a Hole Underfoot

"Just happened to come across it." Xu Huo modestly said, "Player rewards sometimes are linked to elements of the instance, this is also my first time getting such a great reward."

Ruan Qiyuan visibly moved, "In which instance did you get this robot?"

"Little Ruan," Guan Shu interrupted him, "Mr. Xu is joking with you, a mechanical being worth thirty million, how could it be obtained from an ordinary rating?"

Just by looking at the White Notes rewards he usually gets from clearing instances, one could tell the game is not generous to players, to be able to give something worth thirty million outright, one could figure with their toes that the task must have been completed exceptionally well.

Ruan Qiyuan slightly disappointed, but Xu Huo generously said: "We still need to stay here for over ten days, the mechanical being can be lent to you to play with."

Ruan Qiyuan’s face turned red with excitement, just as he was about to say something, next to him Chi Minghong said: "No, just letting the mechanical being go like this, it would have been great to let it dig out the cave, it would save us a lot of effort."

Before Xu Huo could speak, Ruan Qiyuan said: "How could such a good mechanical being just be used to dig dirt holes!"

Chi Minghong rolled his eyes, "Whether digging dirt or rocks, isn’t that more or less the same."

"It’s very different." Ruan Qiyuan began to educate her on the history of the development of tool robots.

Meanwhile, Guan Shu suddenly stood up, yelling towards the people digging there: "Back off!"

The middle-aged man being called was carrying dirt outside, he turned his head to look outside—by this time, he and a few others had dug out a hole about as high as one’s leg, his body inside the hole, just stretching his head out, and a mouth full of sharp teeth bit down on his neck!

Blood sprayed three feet high, but the next second, the man was dragged into the cave!

"Don’t shout!" You Xuewen stopped the people around him, "Shouting will attract other Aliens!"

Everyone stood up, Lin Qiao quickly threw a lighting prop into the cave, just turned her head to look, something swiftly flew out from the inside, she caught it with her bare hands, took it out and saw that it was a shell.

"What species is this?" She handed it to You Xuewen.

"Regardless of what species, this creature can dig holes, it’s not easy to defend against underground..." You Xuewen hadn’t finished speaking when two people standing not far away suddenly found themselves stepping into emptiness, following which they disappeared underground, leaving behind two large holes!

The people around were shocked, retreating backward, but then two more were dragged away, and only then did the crowd realize that it wasn’t the holes they dug that were the problem, but rather the underground was riddled with holes originally!

"Run! Run!" Someone ran forward while shouting, however, he didn’t get far before he, like the four before him, was dragged underground, his cries abruptly ceased.

"Don’t run around, come to me!" You Xuewen put down a small boat prop on the ground, a translucent halo spread out, forming a barrier approximately twelve meters long and five meters wide on the ground.

On the other side, Guan Shu also had a thick circular platform appear under his feet, taking Ruan Qiyuan, Zhou Yuanzhu and the remaining people to stand on it.

As for Xu Huo, he was already in the air with the two children by the time the second person was dragged underground.

It had not been noticed before, but now there were more holes appearing on the ground, and the sounds of the Mutant Beast moving and feeding underground could barely be heard.

"There aren’t many of them," Ruan Qiyuan said, "but the underground in this area must have been dug through, it’s best to leave quickly."

No sooner had he spoken than the prop under their feet began to make loud pounding noises, and almost simultaneously, from the edge of the prop, the sound of sharp claws scraping through the mud and rocks started erupting everywhere. In just ten seconds, the area was filled with one-meter-wide cavities—You Xuewen could see it even clearer, not just on the side, but cavities of the same size densely appeared right below the prop too!

"They are not just hollowing out the underground..." Chi Minghong’s hesitant words were not yet finished when the props on both sides suddenly sank!

"It really collapsed!" Guan Shu leaped up and, using a whip with a chain, fastened a few people and left. Ruan Qiyuan and Zhou Yuanzhu each took two more, adding Chi Minghong, all people on this side were taken, but it wasn’t so smooth on You Xuewen’s side.

Because of the special shape of the prop barrier, when the underground collapsed, everyone on it was falling, You Xuewen and Lin Qiao managed to hold onto three of them, but the others rolled into the nearby cavities—You Xuewen did not retract the prop, so the collapsed side left a slit less than a meter wide, it was difficult for a person to go down horizontally, just enough to catch the other people who couldn’t be rescued in time.

"Wait..." Lin Qiao pushed the person beside her up and was about to turn back to pull the remaining ones when she saw a nail like a sickle pierce through one person’s chest and then slashed downward from the heart!

The person who was stabbed died on the spot, another, slightly luckier one, was stabbed through the shoulder and was timely grabbed by You Xuewen, thus narrowly escaping death.

"Uncle save me!" Among those who also fell into the pit were the two children who had been in Xu Huo’s drawing, who had come out to walk during the trek.

Xu Huo moved the guitar strings over for the two to grasp, turned back and pulled Chi Minghong with the balloon string, floating four people in total in midair. He initially planned to find a place to set them down, but looking ahead, the holes on the wilderness were as plentiful as scattered sesame seeds, still separated by at least several hundred meters in the distance!

"I was wondering why there weren’t any problems along the way, turns out they were waiting here!" Chi Minghong turned to Xu Huo and said, "Can’t you use fire? Burn the damn thing!"

"Do you have enough fuel?" Xu Huo glanced at her, "Besides, there are holes everywhere underground, even if you pour fuel into each one, it may not reach the Mutant Beasts. Dealing head-on with these kind of expert hiders has no advantage for us, the best solution is to leave this area."

Guan Shu came over, "I used a levitation prop to lift people, but it’s not too high above the ground, I still need your help to lend a hand."

"No problem." Xu Huo readily agreed, and meanwhile let go of several people he was holding.

"Criminal’s shackles." Guan Shu pulled out a chain, swung it in the air, and the metal soft as cloth automatically wrapped around each person’s hand, linking them into a string and slowly floated them to a height of three meters above the ground.

Three meters was indeed a bit low, and any Mutant Beast with a bit of jumping ability could reach it.

"Can’t you use the hovering item you used when you came down?" Xu Huo asked.

"That prop can’t move horizontally." Guan Shu nodded to him and the others, then led the people forward across the field.

For players, crossing a few hundred meters is not a problem, even Xu Huo, who has not undergone super evolution, can finish it in two or three seconds relying on his characteristics, but the trouble is that this team is quite lengthy, seemingly also related to the effectiveness of Guan Shu’s prop, which is not very fast.
