Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Swamp Assassination
Chu Yuan quickly retreated to one side, simultaneously throwing a Shitou (Stone) into it. The thing, looking like a thin layer, not only swallowed the stone without leaving a trace but also made no sound.
The thickness of the floor divisions was such, but this layer of mud turned the ground into an unfathomable swamplike area.
The mire continuously ate away at the ground, and Xu Huo and Chu Yuan had no choice but to rapidly retreat. Just as they turned to leave, a ghostly black figure suddenly burst out from a dark corner, rushing towards them with an unnaturally wide grin, slashing at Xu Huo with a quick blade.
"It’s one of Dr. Deng’s people!"
"Brother, watch out..." Chu Yuan immediately took out a crossbow arrow, but what he didn’t expect was that the blade would change direction mid-strike, coming at him instead!
Chu Yuan reflexively stepped back, but because the black-shirted player feinted a move, he ended up retreating in the opposite direction of Xu Huo. Bound together by a rope, they couldn’t move far apart, putting them at a significant disadvantage under the rapid attack of their opponent.
"Kill the idiot first!" the black-shirted player shouted with a laugh, yet before his blade could close in on Chu Yuan, Xu Huo kicked out!
The black-shirted player blocked with his sword counterintuitively, but with the boost from a special trait, the kick was very powerful, forcing him several steps back, which made him doubt Xu Huo’s strength, "Aren’t you a Level D Player?"
Xu Huo, whose performance was completely different from that in the third underground level before, simply smiled and gestured for the black-shirted player to come at him.
Thus warned, the black-shirted player became more cautious. However, before he could react, Xu Huo threw a ceramic doll at him.
Out of caution, the black-shirted player dodged it. The ceramic doll shattered against the wall, and a nauseatingly strong odor immediately filled the air.
All four present put on their protective masks and gear.
Indeed, there was another player at the other end of the hallway blocking their way.
Xu Huo tossed "Lament of the Plants" into the air, smashed Chu Yuan’s lantern, then controlled the already deployed "Omnipresent Strings" to strangle the neck of the player behind them. He followed this with an "Unstoppable Direct Hit" that shattered the black-shirted player’s protective mask and smashed two ceramic dolls against the wall.
Along with a piercing scream, the actions of the two players stiffened for a moment, especially the player strangled by the strings. Therefore, Xu Huo pulled out the "Crimson Sword" prop and slashed at him, saying, "Let you run six and a half meters first"!
The player, using a special glove, shook off the strings and skillfully blocked the prop sword. Pushing back with the counterforce, he saw Xu Huo retreat three steps, then sneered, "You’ve got quick reflexes, pity you’re not very capable!"
Having said that, he accelerated towards Xu Huo, a steel wire like a lasso flying from his hands towards Xu Huo’s neck.
Xu Huo had no choice but to retreat into the mire, tossing two marbles, but sadly they just grazed the opponent’s arm and were then swallowed by the ground.
"We’re trapped!" At the same time, Chu Yuan, who had also failed to avoid the mire, found himself stuck in place, with the black-shirted player, whose protective mask was smashed, right in front of him. He shouted as he threw out a toy hedgehog.
The toy hedgehog had no lethal power, but once it hit the ground, the black-shirted player, who was nearly within reach, was suddenly transported ten meters away!
"I’ve got no way out, do you have one?" Chu Yuan turned and asked.
"Take off the protective pants." Xu Huo responded quickly, then kicked off his protective boots and grabbed the strings to rise into the air.
Chu Yuan’s protective shoes were integrated with his boots for easy wear, with the buckles undone, he naturally followed Xu Huo, hugging him as he was lifted out.
However, those two players wouldn’t give up easily. The player with the gloves stood on a floating board above the mud and called out to Xu Huo and his companion, "The performer’s highlight!"
This was an ability, and Xu Huo wasn’t affected, but he clearly felt Chu Yuan stiffen up. Glancing down, he realized that Chu Yuan couldn’t even move his eyes.
By now, the mud had spread throughout the entire corridor, and the player in black suddenly moved from one side of the corridor to the other, switching positions with the glove-wearing player and once again forming an encirclement around Xu Huo and his companion.
The corridor was pitch dark, but the two players in black moved through the darkness without any hindrance.
Xu Huo estimated that the distance to both sides was over three meters, so he hung the Silent Figurine on his body and threw a porcelain doll in each direction.
As the dolls left the silent zone of the Silent Figurine, the player in black caught them without any difficulty, but the player with the gloves reacted a moment later before opening them.
The malicious stench swept over them once more, and the player in black, whose protective mask was damaged, couldn’t help but twitch his expression. By that time, Xu Huo had already grabbed the Crimson Sword, swinging two strokes through the air, one severing the glove-wearing player’s raised right hand and the other slashing at the face of the player in black.
The player in black, who could teleport instantly on the mud, dodged the slash, while the glove-wearing player, who could neither hear nor see, wasn’t so lucky. His entire palm was sliced off along with the glove and disappeared into the muddy ground.
Unsure if the opponent’s clothing was an artifact, Xu Huo chose to target the exposed wrist area.
After a successful hit, he quickly followed up with two more slashes, but this time he only cut through the clothing without inflicting any substantial damage.
The glove-wearing player, having lost a hand, retreated decisively, but Xu Huo was already close behind him, chopping a square hole in his back.
If the protective gear could be breached, it meant the glove-wearing player could be hit again. He skated on the floating board out of the corridor, shouting, "My ability doesn’t work on him, come help!"
Clearly, the message was for the player in black, who didn’t hesitate. In the next second, he stood in front of Xu Huo. With a raise of his hand, the mud on the ground quickly climbed up the walls and lunged at Xu Huo.
Xu Huo couldn’t dodge in time and got hit on his left arm. That stuff had a strong corrosive property, besides being virtually a swamp, and blood started flowing from the wound.
By this time, Chu Yuan had also come to his senses, throwing another hedgehog at the player in black, and raising a hand with a rejecting gesture, "Relationship broken!"
This time, not only was the player in black sent ten meters away, but he was also restrained by an invisible force and couldn’t quickly return.
"Run quickly, run quickly!" Chu Yuan turned back and said, "These people have bad intentions; they’ll definitely bring reinforcements later!"
Without a word, Xu Huo retreated from the corridor and, after landing, took out a lighter and aimed at the corridor:
"Ding!"
"Boom!"
The mud-covered floor, spurting gas, ignited instantly, and the fierce fire charged towards both exits. The two players in black still in the corridor were buried by the flames, while Xu Huo and Chu Yuan, who had just left the corridor, also ran towards the front but were still thrown into the air by the blast wave.
Chu Yuan’s head hit something and, on touching it, found it covered in blood. He turned, ready to scold Xu Huo, but upon seeing the other’s expressionless face rising up, he swallowed his words.
Xu Huo dusted off the ash from himself as if what had just happened wasn’t a battle for survival, and said nonchalantly, "Let’s change locations, more players will come looking."
