Chapter 742: Chapter 742 Pursuit and Kill

"You’re looking for him, but you’ve got the wrong person," Xiao Ling shrugged.

"Exactly!" the leading man spoke and released a Bamboo Dragonfly. Suddenly, a strong wind arose, a powerful force surged through the waterway space towards the back of Xiao Ling and the others, piercing directly through the stone wall at the bend in the channel and forcing Xu Huo, who was hidden behind, into the open.

"Forced stripping!" The male player didn’t take Xiao Ling and the others seriously at all, his body instantly appeared on the stone wall behind them. His feet stuck to the stone as one hand mimed the action of a hanging rope, reaching out towards an empty space in front of him, "Moral bindings!"

Xu Huo, stripped of his Invisibility Cloak, appeared before everyone’s eyes instantly, but before that, a semi-transparent barrier had already been erected in the air, blocking the effects of the artefact used by the male player afterwards.

However, he couldn’t stay in the air for long, and the speed of the harp strings was slow, so the moment he faced his opponent, he dived onto the boat, using "Absolute Safety Distance" and "Mobile Metal" to forcefully push aside a blocking player, quickly rushing towards the entrance.

"This Way is Blocked!" Another player next to him drew a single stroke in the water channel, and a barrier as transparent as a mirror blocked the way ahead, perfectly cutting off Xu Huo’s path.

Having no choice but to retreat, there were already two players coming up from behind. In the narrow channel, blocked at both ends and with very limited space for Xu Huo to maneuver, both sides bombarded each other with props, but because of the effect of "Concentrated Air," some props were ineffective, and it also defended against some physical attacks. After a round of combat, neither side came out on top.

Xiao Ling and the others also joined the chaos, breaking through the stone ceiling above. Yu Guangnan led the way, climbing out through the hole, and Long Aotian, who followed, placed a Circular Prop at the exit, making it unsuccessful for the leading player who tried to use a prop to block the hole.

"Yu Huo! Hurry up!" Long Aotian called from above.

Xu Huo glanced at the people blocking the hole, then suddenly turned and pounced towards the stone wall beside the water channel barrier, covering it with both hands and turning the stone into powder!

The two players nearby immediately pounced on him, and the leading player, worried about Xu Huo’s escape, moved forward to cover the position. But as their eyes were all fixed on the man at the edge of the stone wall, the same figure appeared at the entrance of the stone cave.

The first to notice something was amiss was the leading player, who turned his head and saw Xu Huo already being pulled up by Long Aotian, while the figure by the stone wall still hadn’t disappeared!

With a kick that shattered the stone above, the leading player leaped from the hole. Seeing Xu Huo and the others heading towards the Corpse-Hiding Hotel, he immediately called his people to follow.

Actually, the place they emerged was right in the middle of a maze venue. However, in special times, a venue made of materials that weren’t very reliable couldn’t create the slightest obstacle for the players; Xiao Ling rolled right through it, directly piercing through the venue.

Across the street was the Corpse-Hiding Hotel, but before they could get near, the hotel’s doors automatically closed. The force caused the glass on the doors to shatter, with countless fragments spraying towards Xu Huo and the others!

"Ting, ting, ting!" Everyone used Defense Props, but this slowed them down, and the players from behind had already caught up. It was clear they had no intention of letting anyone go, having dispatched two players from the left and right for a pincer attack as they emerged from the maze.

The leading player used "Moral bindings" again, and Long Aotian, unable to dodge, was locked up by a pair of transparent handcuffs. If it weren’t for Yu Guangnan grabbing him, he would have immediately been sliced up by another player’s twin blades!

"Craftsman’s blade work!" The twin-blade player then gained some distance and, with a few meters separating them, swung a crisscross pattern. Six blade edges, three horizontal and three vertical, sliced towards them!

They had already witnessed this move last night; several people leaped into the air to evade it simultaneously, but immediately someone filled in from above, and a large net of vibrant colors descended overhead, which then automatically split into four smaller nets as it neared them.

With "Eye of the Deceased" in hand in an instant, Xu Huo swung his Sword, cutting the net in two before the Sword transformed into a Water Cutter Gun, firing several shots at the approaching players to temporarily increase the distance, after which he tossed a lighter behind him, setting the nearest player ablaze!

The explosion drew the attention of the other players, and Xiao Ling seized the opportunity to throw several smoke bombs, leading the charge into Corpse-Hiding Hotel!

With several "whooshes," the five pursuing players also emerged from the smoke, and the player who had been blown up only suffered superficial injuries and entered the hotel without any delay.

Corpse-Hiding Hotel opted for a luxurious style; although it wasn’t a real hotel suitable for living, the arrangements were nearly identical. Due to the urgency, Xu Huo had no time to search the reception desk’s logbook and directly pried open the lift’s door to ascend to the third floor.

"Iron will." Long Aotian wiped the elevator door, and a metal strip-like object connected the gap in the middle, roughly blocking the way.

But it wasn’t safe to stay here either, Xiao Ling gestured for silence, indicating for everyone to tread lightly.

Yu Guangnan pulled out a shoe cover dispenser, stepped on it twice, and walked a few paces to demonstrate the dampening effect on their footsteps.

Xu Huo and the other two put on shoe covers in succession, making sure that those players hadn’t come up the stairs before randomly choosing a room to climb out the window to the upper floors.

At least half of the rooms in Corpse-Hiding Hotel faced Beheaded Cemetery, but the layout of the rooms was somewhat like gears, with the doors not on a horizontal line. Every other room would have its outer wall protruding, which was about two meters higher, and moving back slightly would hide one from the view of their neighbors.

Yu Guangnan used a Muffler Artefact and remarked, "The hotel’s interior is like this; not just the rooms, even the corridors can hide people."

Now wasn’t the time to discuss the hotel, Xiao Ling said gravely, "Those bastards are relentless. It looks like they won’t stop until they’ve killed us all; we need to figure out a way to take them down."

"These guys are stronger than other players of the same level," Long Aotian stated realistically, "I’m afraid we’re no match for them."

"What on earth do they want with us that they’re clinging so doggedly?" Yu Guangnan couldn’t figure it out, "I merely overheard them mentioning the artefacts by chance, but doesn’t everyone know there are artefacts in the new dungeon?"

"They couldn’t be targeting you specifically, could they?" Xiao Ling turned to Xu Huo.

"Not just me, all players who entered the dungeon are likely their targets," Xu Huo replied, "Since they mentioned artefacts, why aren’t they looking for them instead of joining forces to ambush other players?"

"It boils down to two possibilities; either they are trying to weaken opponents through this method,"

"Or the artefacts have already been taken, and they simply decided to hunt down anyone who seems like they might have gotten their hands on high-level artefacts."
