Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Counterkill
Dr. Deng’s hands were both coated with glue, and after Xu Huo pulled him up, Dr. Deng initially thought the stickiness of the glue wasn’t strong and intended to clean it off. However, the moment his hands touched each other, the glue became extra sticky, and he simply couldn’t tear them apart.
"Be careful, don’t touch this glue with your hands!" Dr. Deng cried out in distress.
Several players moved closer together, and Xu Huo glanced around at the trees, "We can’t go over the ground, let’s move through the trees."
The trees were not far from one another, and even the injured Chu Yuan didn’t find it too challenging. Xu Huo was about to bring Dr. Deng up into the trees and head towards the lab, but unexpectedly something dripped down from the sky at that moment.
He reflexively stepped back and immediately opened the umbrella upon realizing that the substance falling on the leaves was clear glue:
"Boom!"
The glue poured down like heavy rain. Xu Huo, holding Dr. Deng, took cover under the umbrella without being hit, while Miao Yu had already leaped to an adjacent tree. Chu Yuan and Gan Qing were not as quick to react. They were half a beat too slow in using their props, and most of their bodies were drenched in glue, with eyes and noses all stuck together.
"Don’t wipe it with your hands!" Xu Huo called out to stop them, "Unless you want your hands to stick to your face."
They indeed held still, while Xu Huo quickly drew out his sword and chopped towards a nearby tree.
After several trees fell, the figure hiding behind them dashed out, attempting to circle around to where Chu Yuan and Gan Qing were by jumping along the tree trunks.
"It’s Qiu Xiangdong!" Miao Yu recognized the person, "I’ll deal with him!"
However, before she could act, Xu Huo retracted the umbrella and threw the "Desert Pinwheel" onto the ground. The wild sandstorm not only obscured the view but also covered the ground and tree trunks dripping with glue.
Tong Jian’s prior setup became useless, and Xu Huo, pinpointing Qiu Xiangdong’s location, cut through the sandstorm and intercepted him directly in front!
The sandstorm did obscure the players’ keen senses to some extent, and Xu Huo, while striking, pulled out the Silent Figurine, then directly blocked Qiu Xiangdong’s path. By the time Qiu Xiangdong realized what was happening and thought of escaping, it was already too late.
Xu Huo anticipated his direction of flight, blocked it with a prop at the first opportunity, and the distance between the two was less than three meters—killing him was a piece of cake.
But as the edge of the sword reached his neck, Qiu Xiangdong suddenly vanished from the spot.
Xu Huo, protected by the "Oxygen Supply," turned his emotionless face and headed straight in another direction!
Tong Jian and Qiu Xiangdong were in a collaborative relationship. One remained on the first floor, while the other had lightly injured himself escaping the explosion. Last night, they planned to set up outside the lab, but the continuous heavy rain disrupted their scheme, and the two switched to searching again via the third underground level from the seaside.
They returned near the lab before dawn today, and the glue on the ground and glue coats hanging in the trees were all prepared by Tong Jian, just waiting for the players to walk into them.
Yet this tactic was clearly not very clever, failing to hold all players; they couldn’t set up a two-on-two faceoff before a blinding sandstorm erupted.
Tong Jian, who was distant from Xu Huo and the others, naturally saw that the prop came from Xu Huo. He headed in Qiu Xiangdong’s direction too, seizing this chance to launch an attack on Dr. Deng and the others from the rear!
His evolution rate was higher than Qiu Xiangdong’s, so he sensed someone approaching earlier. Instinctively, he fired two shots forward but heard no impact.
The player’s instinct made him retreat, but at that moment, a faint noise cut through the sandstorm, closing in from behind!
"Bang!"
When sword and spear collided, Tong Jian’s gun was sliced in half. Xu Huo pressed down with all his strength, but his protective shield was struck the next second.
The protective shield was not easily destroyed, yet a fine scratch appeared on its surface. He kicked Tong Jian away and casually retracted the Desert Pinwheel tied to a kite string.
The moment the sandstorm dissipated, Tong Jian was aiming his gun at him from the other side.
Dodging the bullets shot at him, he leaped to the side and swept out with his sword.
Tong Jian’s reflexes were also quick; even from a distance, he managed to block with a protective gadget in front of him, and while the Sword Qi didn’t cut through the protective item, it gave him the chance to fire continuously.
Xu Huo dodged behind a tree and pulled out a metal ball the size of a thumb from the cargo hold, pressed the switch on it, and threw it out.
"Click! Click!" When the metal ball rolled to Tong Jian’s side, his gun suddenly malfunctioned and failed to fire. Realizing it was the effect of the metal ball, he tried to kick it away with a flying kick.
However, Xu Huo wouldn’t give him the chance, sweeping his sword to cut his shoe in half.
Tong Jian retracted his leg quickly, otherwise, his foot would have been chopped off too. Seeing that his gun was useless, he threw it aside and quickly grew his resin coat, surging madly towards Xu Huo!
Xu Huo used the tree trunk as a shield and then opened his umbrella to fend off the advancing resin coat. While being pulled by the stickiness, he controlled the piano wire to fly towards Tong Jian’s back.
"Child’s play!" Tong Jian had long noticed his slight movement, casually pulling out a toy gun and pulling the trigger at the piano wire, which got pasted to the tree with a glob of resin while still in the air.
Xu Huo saw that his gadget had been neutralized but wasn’t in a hurry; he casually threw several bottles of flammable liquid towards his opponent.
Seeming to realize what he was planning to do, Tong Jian quickly cut off the extending resin coat. A clump of sticky substance, like snot, hit the tree, carrying him as he quickly retreated.
Seeing this, Xu Huo threw a Fair Wallet at him.
Whether Tong Jian was wearing other gadgets or not, Xu Huo wasn’t sure, but this move was just a setup for the attack. Surprisingly, the effect was unexpectedly good—because the moment the wallet was thrown, his resin coat automatically fell off!
Suspended mid-air, Tong Jian couldn’t suppress a look of surprise, but there was no chance for him to go back and retrieve his gadget; Xu Huo wouldn’t give him that opportunity!
"Ding!" The lighter made a clear clicking sound, and Tong Jian’s coat burst into flames. Although he was wearing a protective gadget underneath, the sudden burst of flames scorched his eyes. As he was painfully tearing off his coat, Miao Yu appeared from behind, with both swords aiming for his neck!
Tong Jian tumbled down from mid-air, just managed to tear off his coat and stand up when Xu Huo, who had retracted his resin coat, attacked from the side.
Tong Jian stood still, not dodging, just raising his arm to block the Sword Qi, but the next second his hand flew off!
"How could this be...!" Tong Jian himself seemed more surprised than anyone, looking up at the approaching Xu Huo, he seemed to understand something, his eyes shot out intense hatred, and he grasped a dagger in a reverse grip to meet the attack head-on.
A Rank-C Player, even with one hand severed, would certainly not lose to a Level D Player in close combat—that was what everyone present thought. But the fact was that half a meter from Xu Huo, Tong Jian suddenly stopped moving because of a moment of distraction.
Although it was only for an instant, it was enough!
