Chapter 2524: Not Necessarily the Home Court
"He should still be hiding." Xu Huo said, "He knows this place very well. He hid directly after escaping. The wounds on his body were not caused by ordinary sharp weapons. They match the environment here."
Paopaodou lost a leg and now wanted to eat him alive. "That old guy had bad intentions from the beginning. He brought us in just to kill us. At least one-third of the buildings in this city are made of metal. As long as we go out and walk, it is absolutely impossible to avoid the person who controls metal. If this goes on, let alone finding a way out, we don't know how long we can hold on!"
When running away just now, Xu Huo had seen the structure of the entire city from the nearby public map. They are still on the edge of the city. The full metal buildings on the map have special signs. The closer to the city center, the more full metal buildings there are. Presumably, the city center is the real home.
"Is this really the inside of the super copy?" Paopaodou said with some doubt: "It's a bit beyond my expectation."
"Not as complicated as you think?" Xu Huo understood what he meant.
Paopaodou nodded, "The venue is too ordinary. Even if there is a person who controls metal here, he is a small boss after all. What is the difference between the other party chasing people into the venue and other dungeons below level A?"
"The difference is obvious," Xu Huo said: "If this super dungeon can operate normally, more than half of the players will be killed or injured before the operation rules of metal are figured out. Without us, you should have died two or three times by now."
The ability to hunt players at such a high level already represents the specialness of the dungeon.
"In addition, this may not be the main venue of the dungeon." Xu Huo said again: "Don't forget where we came from."
They jumped from the metal forest to this murderous city. So far, except for the middle-aged man, no other players from Zone 001 have been seen. Even if Valen lied about the number of people, there must be a lot of people coming in. No one was attracted by the movement here, and no one was encountered. It is likely that more players from Zone 001 are not here.
So this super dungeon venue is likely to have multiple spaces, and the props that can go back and forth in space are held by players from Zone 001.
The middle-aged man brought them here not only to borrow a knife to kill someone, he also had other purposes.
Paopaodou quickly realized, "There won't be super props or copy authorization here!"
Xu Huo had the same guess, at least there must be a few good props.
But instead of snatching props from the person who can control the metal of the whole city, it is better to find the injured player.
"You just hide here." Xu Huo said.
Paopaodou immediately said: "I will act with you. I carry auxiliary props and will definitely not slow down!"
He was worried that Xu Huo would never come back.
"It's fate to meet you in the game continuously." Xu Huo reminded: "But next time if you are surrounded by metal again, I may not be able to lend a hand in time."
Paopaodou smiled, "Since you now understand the rules of metal control, it's always okay to hide."
Xu Huo looked at him meaningfully, and then moved through the spiritual portal.
When he returned to the place where he landed just now, the middle-aged man was no longer in the wooden cabinet.
The other party had already left Xu Huo's perception range, but they were lucky. There was a sound of a building collapsing in the distance. Just as they were about to go over, a wave of air broke through the air and instantly split the building they were hiding in and all the other buildings on the same street in two!
Xu Huo and his men managed to avoid it, but before they found a place to hide, the metal around them began to stir again, followed by a rain of arrows. The sound of ding ding ding continued to sound around them, accompanied by a low tremor.
The rain of arrows can determine whether there is someone in a certain space through tremor. Xu Huo had tried it before. The principle of effectiveness is probably to judge the shape of the surrounding objects through vibration, so even if they don't move or make a sound, they will be discovered. Hiding in the cabinet is the only way.
But now there are almost no wooden containers that can accommodate adults in this area-they dare not enter metal boxes and cabinets, so now, they can only run for their lives.
Every time they changed places, the metal objects around them would come to kill them. The speed was so fast that Xu Huo and his men had almost no room to think. They could only keep changing places. However, as time went by, more and more broken metal fragments were scattered around them, filling the air indoors and outdoors!
The dispersion of metal objects and the expansion of their coverage meant that people who manipulated metal could control the situation in the city more accurately. Xu Huo moved out of this range twice and was caught up by it twice - the other party seemed to have set their sights on him!
Xu Huo was heading towards the city center. After taking a detour, he still found the middle-aged man. The man was more seriously injured and was hiding in a wooden cabinet with healing potions on hand.
"Come out." Xu Huo swept the cabinet door open. The first thing that flew out was a series of thin blades like small fish. The speed of that thing was so fast that people were almost unprepared. By the time they reacted, the blades had already passed through their necks.
Xu Huo and Paopaodou both had defensive items, so the first round of attack only broke the defensive barrier. The painter was caught off guard and was stabbed several times. She covered her neck reflexively, and then angrily threw out the pieces of paper hidden in her clothes. At the same time, all the paper products in the building floated up and shot towards the middle-aged man like a thousand arrows!
In fact, the middle-aged man escaped after attacking the cabinet when it was opened. However, due to the limitation of the floating metal objects, he did not escape to the outside, but went down the building. However, no matter where he escaped, as long as he was indoors, the flying paper of the painting girl could find him, and the movement of the flying paper attack would attract the surrounding metal. Therefore, after the middle-aged man ran out of the room, he was attacked by the flying paper and metal. Although the flying paper was not as powerful as the metal, the large number of flying paper was enough to cause him inconvenience, especially when there were several special papers mixed in it that could break his defense barrier.
"Strange, those floating metal objects were still chasing us just now," Bubble Bean looked outside and said, "but now they don't attack him."
"Maybe these metals can recognize people." Xu Huo narrowed his eyes and looked at the fine metal particles in the air. He realized that the other party's control over metal was no longer limited to the size of the volume. The "Life Core" might have a counter-effect here.
Another round of attacks came, and Xu Huo ignored Bubble Bean and the painting girl who was chasing the middle-aged man, and moved quickly to the city center alone through the spiritual portal. (End of this chapter)
