Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098

(Pending modifications) The fleeing player was originally moving between floors using a prop, unexpectedly stepping on Shelter 101—a type of metallic game prop he couldn’t break through. And then he caught sight of Xu Huo, who was aiming a crossbow arrow at him!

The crossbow shot not a tangible arrow but a semi-transparent ice that pierced into the wall and quickly melted!

"The person I’m looking for is not you." Xu Huo made his stance clear, but this brief delay allowed the pursuing player to come downstairs. He had barely shown his feet when a strange force knocked him back, carving a deep groove in the ceiling before coming to a stop by the wall.

The next second, two people and a stone lion landed on the same floor as Xu Huo and his companion.

"Da Mao, attack!" Yan Jiayu commanded the stone lion to pounce, while she slapped a muscle baby sticker on her face, instantly boosting her speed to that of an unstoppable cannonball, slamming into the person by the wall!

The player clearly didn’t take her head-on combat style seriously, with a pat on the shoulder, a blue arc of light opened in front of him. Protected by the arc, he didn’t even spare Yan Jiayu another glance but focused on the stone lion trotting over from the side.

However, just as he was about to free his hands to deal with the stone lion, the human bomb that was Yan Jiayu exploded on him—not sure if she had some invisible defense prop on her, but her body smashing into the arc blew the player through the wall, and the arc cracked!

"What!" The opponent couldn’t hide his astonishment, after which the momentum threw him against the building’s outer wall, and a barrier rebounded him back to the wall surface.

As the recipient of the impact, Yan Jiayu was not as disheveled, landing steadily in the middle of the room and wielding the Demon-Subduing Pestle to attack wildly!

"Bang Bang Bang"—a shield prop was battered until cracks appeared. The player quickly dodged and used his characteristics to briefly limit Yan Jiayu’s speed, then charged towards Xu Huo!

His real target was another government player who had not yet escaped, but a cold light suddenly swept from the side as he approached!

The pursuing player hurriedly dodged to the side, and as he raised his hand, dozens of cowhair needles shot from his sleeves.

Unable to use the Air Barrier, Xu Huo simply moved Shelter 101 forward and back, using "Extreme Fatigue and Progress Bar Disappearance" in his attacks.

The player instantly felt the effects of the props on his body; pressing his cuff, his clothes stood up like scales then closed again. With the shift of colors in his clothing, he looked fresh again, showing no signs of fatigue.

Yan Jiayu and the stone lion closed in, and Da Mao, catching a lazy whack on his rear, directed all his anger at the pursuing player, pouncing and tearing at him, forcing him to retreat step by step.

"The role of a vase!" The pursuing player threw a mat on the ground, the struggling Da Mao slipped stepping on it, and one of his paws got pinned to the ground.

However, it was not much of use. The violently minded stone lion simply dug a hole through the ground, the mat being no impediment to it

Pu Gaoshan’s expression shifted from surprise to scorn, pulling a corner of his mouth, tilting his head, clearly not intending to answer his question.

Xu Huo’s eyes darkened slightly, he confined Wang Mo inside the library, then brought out an insect cage containing a mating insect, mushroom-like bubbles squished in a narrow box, pressing several land jellyfish against the glass, one of which unfortunately died and oozed black liquid.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to answer," he said, hand resting on the insect cage, "I’ll change the question. Do you think your life is more important, or the lives of the other players in Xiaohe City?"

Pu Gaoshan was undaunted, "I despise people like you who pretend to be good and accumulate virtue normally, but at the critical moment, resort to despicable means. What about being a fugitive? I’ve probably killed fewer than those hypocrites."

"Giving you a good face only made you suspicious. I knew I shouldn’t have let you into the city!"

"Well said." Xu Huo reached his hand into the insect cage and grabbed the dead land jellyfish, extracted the venom with a syringe, held it before his eyes, and slowly pushed out the air inside, then said: "Say a few more words, and I might have believed you."

"Since you are so loyal to your comrades, as a sign of respect, allow me to send you off."

Pu Gaoshan laughed loudly, "You really think I’m afraid to die!"

Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "If you’re not afraid of dying, why hide in this high-risk instance?"

As he spoke, he took out a small mirror, "Look here."

Pu Gaoshan reflexively looked over, temporarily blinded under the effect of "Danger Blinds," then all of his props and the previously used defense prop ceased working. The next second, the syringe was thrust into his thigh.

"I’ll take you down with me!" he yelled loudly. The subordinates hanging around rolled out a couple of bomb metal spheres, yet no explosion occurred; instead, he started convulsing under the effects of the deadly poison, screaming in unbearable pain.

Xu Huo released Wang Mo.

The individual who was locked on the rotating stairs a second ago suddenly returned to the real world still somewhat dazed, seemingly unable to discern the reality of the person in front of him, but Pu Gaoshan’s screams reminded him.

Seeing the man opposite still spinning his crafted bomb spheres, his expression darkened, but before he could react, his left hand fingers were neatly sliced off!

"Don’t move." Xu Huo warned him, simultaneously revealing the pre-setup "Everything Wants to Slice," the diagonal lines having trapped Wang Mo within.

Wang Mo slightly covered his fingers, glaring angrily at him, "I don’t know the real reason, Mr. Kang instructed this!"

"Why?"

"How would I know!" Wang Mo slightly raised his voice, "I only care about the machines!"

"Jiang Wenzhang didn’t reveal to you... it seems he did." Xu Huo paused, "What did he say?"

Wang Mo took a deep breath and bandaged the wound with gauze before saying, "He said Mr. Kang mentioned that you might stay and join Xiaohe City."

Xu Huo frowned slightly, "Has anyone stayed before?"

"What’s so strange about that?" Wang Mo retorted, "Players changing their permanent regions also..."

Before he could finish, the secant lines around him tightened half an inch inward, forcing him to straighten up and also cutting off hiswords abruptly.

"Playing dumb, huh? You think the game wouldn’t notify me of entering a high-risk instance?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "You guys can’t think that building a small town with a few hundred people in a high-risk instance can make people believe this instance is just a normal game region, right?"

"Even a ten-year-old child wouldn’t be fooled by that."

Wang Mo glanced at the secant lines on both sides and said, "Some people really did stay."
