Chapter 1299: Chapter 1300

(Wait for a modification) The escaping player was originally moving between floors with the help of a prop, but unexpectedly stepped on Shelter 101. He couldn’t break through this type of metal prop from the game and saw Xu Huo nearby, aiming a crossbow arrow at him!

The crossbow arrow didn’t shoot out a solid arrow but a kind of translucent ice, which pierced the wall and then quickly melted away!

"Bang bang bang" came several sounds, and a shield prop was cracked. The player quickly dodged, temporarily restricting Yan Jiayu’s speed using a characteristic before dashing towards Xu Huo!

His real target was that government player who hadn’t escaped, but halfway there, a cold gleam swept past from the side!

The pursuing player quickly dodged sideways, and while raising his hand, dozens of Cowhair Needles shot out from his sleeve.

With the Air Barrier temporarily unusable, Xu Huo simply placed and retrieved Shelter 101 in front of him, using both "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" simultaneously during the attack.

The player immediately felt the props’ effects on his body. With a press at his cuff, the clothes he wore flexed like scales, and as the color of his attire changed, his fatigue disappeared, showing no signs of weariness on his face!

Yan Jiayu and the Stone Lion caught up, and Da Mao, who had been slacking, got smacked on the rear, instantly unleashing all his fury on the pursuing player. Under the assault, the player retreated step by step.

"The vase’s use!" The pursuing player threw a mat on the ground, causing Da Mao’s paw to slip on it, one paw nailed to the ground.

However, this was of little use. The Stone Lion, bound by brute force, directly dug a hole in the ground. Without needing to leave the mat, it could run with the floorboard.

Da Mao was difficult to handle, and neither Xu Huo nor Yan Jiayu were letting up. Yan Jiayu engaged in close combat, while Xu Huo, assisting with props from the side, would unexpectedly rush forward, both sides suffering losses after three minutes of engagement.

Looking up, Xu Huo walked up the stairs and felt someone rapidly descending the middle of the building upon reaching the third floor. He placed Shelter 101 directly beneath them as they cut into an office floor in a second!

The escaping player was moving between floors with props, but unexpectedly stepped on Shelter 101, unable to break through the metal game prop and saw Xu Huo nearby, aiming a crossbow arrow at him!

The crossbow arrow didn’t shoot out a solid arrow but a kind of translucent ice, which quickly melted away after piercing the wall!

"I’m not the one you’re looking for," Xu Huo clarified. Because of this moment’s pause, the pursuing player had already come down from upstairs. But just as he showed his feet, a strange force blasted him away, creating a deep trench in the ceiling, stopping only at the wall.

In the next second, two people and a Stone Lion landed on the same floor as Xu Huo and the others.

"Da Mao, go!" Yan Jiayu commanded the Stone Lion to pounce and simultaneously applied a muscle sticker to her face, her speed suddenly skyrocketing, as fast as an uncapturable missile, crashing towards the person by the wall!

The player apparently didn’t take her aggressive battle approach seriously. A slap on his shoulder immediately opened up a blue light arc as protection before him; not sparing another glance at Yan Jiayu, he focused on the Stone Lion trotting around him.

However, just as he prepared to free up his hands to deal with the Stone Lion, Yan Jiayu, the living bomb, crashed into him—whether she had invisible defense props on her or not, when she hit the light arc, she slammed the player through the wall, causing cracks to burst on the arc as well!

"What!" The opponent was visibly shocked, then the momentum threw him to the outermost wall of the building, bounced back by a barrier on the wall.

Yet, Yan Jiayu, as the force-receiving party, didn’t appear as disheveled. She landed steadily in the middle of the room, waving the Demon-Subduing Pestle for a chaotic attack!

"Bang bang bang" came several sounds, a shield prop cracked. The player quickly dodged, temporarily restricting Yan Jiayu’s speed using a characteristic before dashing towards Xu Huo!

"Are you a visitor from afar?" The man put down the broom. "If you don’t mind, come in for some tea."

Xu Huo followed him into the tea room, glancing at the architectural plans spread over the table. "These houses look quite new; are they going to be demolished for reconstruction?"

"My family members have gradually moved away; leaving them empty is a waste. So I took this chance to renovate a bit. These houses are of old style, which kids nowadays don’t like," the man said, bringing over a teapot and cups, pushing the plans aside, and inquired about Xu Huo’s origins.

"Here out of admiration," Xu Huo explained, reaching for his bag to take out a book. Meanwhile, the bald-headed child they met earlier rushed in like a bullet, blocking Xu Huo. "You thief! You stole my fruits and want to steal my home too?"

Little Baldy, thinking himself worldly, declared, "I’ve heard that some people live off thievery, steal a bit then want to occupy the house, driving out the original owners. If others try to drive him out, he’ll shamelessly claim the house as his!"

With a smile, Xu Huo placed the book on the table, opening the bag for him to see, "I didn’t steal any fruit."

Little Baldy glanced, seemingly at a loss, but his mind fast, immediately concluding, "I know! You’re a player! So you can hide things in the game!"

"You better leave! Our house doesn’t welcome you!" Little Baldy pulled out a slingshot toy from his back pocket, aiming it at him, "If you don’t leave, I’ll hit you."

The man frowned, softly reprimanding, then apologized to Xu Huo.

Unconcerned, Xu Huo remarked, "This is indeed a good place."

In other places, kids this age already have a basic understanding of players, but here, kids have no fear or dread of strangers and do not comprehend what "players" really are. They naturally believe that they are adults who can be "driven away."

The child didn’t understand, but the adult did. The man across was somewhat angry, wanting to chase away Little Baldy, but Xu Huo took out candies and snacks from his bag. "I drank your tea; would exchanging with these be okay? Though I have no money, exchanging things shouldn’t count as stealing, right?"

The child’s eyes were drawn to the colorful packaging, keeping a calm demeanor as he replied, "That’s not stealing. Many people in the city exchange things. But I have to get my dad’s approval before I can agree."

Xu Huo smiled at the man opposite him.

Zhuang Shanbo nodded, gesturing for the child to take the items and share them with his friends. Little Baldy politely greeted Xu Huo before hopping away.

"Thank you," Zhuang Shanbo said, "Usually, outsider players don’t have much patience with kids."

"I have children at home too." Xu Huo took a sip of tea, pushing the book in front of him, "Moreover, I really came here out of admiration, wanting to learn about the legendary figure in the book."
