Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Death Battle in the Rain

Xu Huo was originally headed to the reservoir on Wen Mountain but unexpectedly encountered these people on his way there.

The hollow below Wen Mountain was half-water, half-mud, originally abundant with water plants, and appeared to have good water quality from above. Now, however, it had become a pool of ink, seemingly formed by the dark rain. But upon closer inspection, one would find that although raindrops also fell on its surface, there were instances of water droplets flying upward.

The entire space above the hollow seemed like a distorted realm, with water above and below, and looking at the dense black clouds in the sky, the answer was about to reveal itself—this was the origin of the dark rain!

Seeing that three of the numbers that rose to "10" were moving toward his direction, he pinched out his cigarette and threw it into the luggage compartment, then turned and sprinted towards the trees behind!

With acceleration, the impact of the rain on his body would increase several-fold, but this was nothing for players wearing protective suits. However, just as Xu Huo was about to enter the forest, he abruptly halted and stretched Severance Gate forward:

"Bang bang bang!"

It was as if bullets made of raindrops were all hitting the Gate. Once the noise subsided, he leaned on it with one hand to flip and jump onto the tree. As the Gate retracted, he had already leapt to the next tree.

The dense forest served as a natural barrier, the thick foliage blocking part of the black rain, and the stout trunks could fend off some of the raindrop bullets.

Behind him, three players dressed in Prop Raincoats flashed into the forest. The one in the middle gestured with his hand, and the two flanked left and right. Their speed wasn’t fast, but they moved along curved lines that converged in the middle. With a strangely accelerated pace, they quickly closed in on Xu Huo.

"Follow the traffic police’s commands, move back!" one of the People in Raincoat said in broken Chinese.

Xu Huo heard the voice and involuntarily stopped, but he didn’t retreat as the other had instructed.

The two People in Raincoat paused for a moment, then one of them waved at Xu Huo’s silhouette. A gust of wind came from one side, forcefully knocking him off the tree!

The People in Raincoat rushed forward, but Xu Huo, suddenly pausing in mid-air, then changed direction and flew backwards.

"Flight item!" one of the People in Raincoat exclaimed.

"Not fast enough!" another added.

The two moved in sync, tracing arcs to get ahead of Xu Huo almost as soon as he made his move.

Xu Huo drew his Water Cutter Gun and aimed at one of them, forcing him to clear a gap, then hung onto a tree. The cut made by Crimson Sword flashed through the woods and quickly disappeared.

The People in Raincoat used a Defense Prop to block the slice of Sword Qi, and immediately shot a firework flare. It screeched into the sky, causing Xu Huo to look up and momentarily lose control of his vision.

The People in Raincoat took the chance to approach, but at that moment, the "Lament of the Plants" was hurled from Xu Huo’s hand. The shrill, piercing sound forced them to stop and cover their ears.

It was a stalemate between the three, but a set of shackles thrown their way broke the standoff. Xu Huo dodged in an emergency, but his right foot was still ensnared, and the other end of the prop was directly connected to the ground.

"Universal Lubricant" didn’t remove the shackles. He swiftly swung his sword towards the third Person in Raincoat’s direction, then crouched to wipe on the shackles, instantly melting the metal prop into powder!

"Yu Yan!" the third Person in Raincoat gestured with both hands, and two dark shadows flew out from his sleeves, cutting through the rain curtain with such speed they nearly severed it, drawing a sharp arc toward Xu Huo!

"Stop right there!"

"This place is not suitable for passage!"

The other two People in Raincoat simultaneously used the Stalling Prop, and Xu Huo could not move his feet. Facing the three ahead, he threw the kite string and also used "Two-Part Magic" and "Murmur Sphere"!

"Ding ding ding!" Three consecutive attacks were blocked by "Moving Metal", realizing that "Yu Yan" could position itself to attack repeatedly, Xu Huo retracted the kite string, pulling the People in Raincoat closest to him flying towards himself!

Once pierced by the kite string, the body’s weight lessened, naturally losing force underfoot. The People in Raincoat, unable to control their own body, quickly pulled out a Discus Prop. Astonishingly heavy, it forcefully pressed him onto the ground!

Meanwhile, another People in Raincoat broke free from "Two-Part Magic" and charged at Xu Huo, with "Yu Yan" also flying in from behind to stab him!

With darts and "Yu Yan" attacking from both front and back, Xu Huo was pinned down, unable to move, with no way to dodge. To prevent him from using props to defend, the People in Raincoat using "Yu Yan" appeared swiftly to his right, reaching for his right arm with a metal-gloved hand: "Muscular aches...!"

However, at that very moment, the People in Raincoat’s hand grasped at nothing but air, and the two props that had passed through Xu Huo’s body seemed to strike a nearby tree like passing through air!

Before the three could react, the two metal blades stuck in the tree turned into dust, just like shackles!

The People in Raincoat, kneeling on the ground, pressed down on the kite string with the Discus, trying to cut the string at the chest with scissors, only to cut through his own Prop Raincoat!

The black rain flowed in through the tear, and the People in Raincoat, taken aback, fell backward as his companion hurriedly pulled him back, "Careful!"

When the two looked back, they found that behind them, the hollow had somehow appeared without their noticing.

All three realized something was wrong, but just then, a pitch-black arm stretched out from under the water of the hollow, its withered fingers grabbing hold of the People in Raincoat’s shoulder!

"Come down with me... come down with me..."

More and more hands reached out from the water, the People in Raincoat facing the hollow struggled in vain, eventually getting pulled down, their mouth and nose gradually submerged.

The People in Raincoat crouching beside him was also affected, desperately trying to pull his hand out, but not only did he fail to rescue his partner, but his legs also sank, and by the time he thought of giving up, it was too late; he could only sink in the hollow pleading for help: "C, save me!"

C, the one using "Yu Yan", drew his gun and shot wildly to the left and right of the two, "Look carefully, there’s nothing around you!"

Unfortunately, the two were lost in the hallucination, one lying on the ground, the other standing still, strangling their own neck while desperately calling for help.

"Come out!" C fired his gun around, the bullets’ wild spray seemingly forcing some reaction. He took a leap and shot towards the back of the tree, but as he raised his gun, he saw a woman’s face.

"My dear..."

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out without hesitation, C quickly retreated from behind the tree, abandoning his two companions as he fled towards the direction of the hollow and used his communicator to contact his other comrades.

However, as he raised his hand, he noticed his hand, connected to his palm, had turned black, and upon closer inspection, his Raincoat was torn to shreds!

"This isn’t Alien poison..." The toxin spread too quickly, C thought he might still be in a hallucination, so he stabbed his own arm with a knife...
