Chapter 568: Set

It's here.

Wu Quan pursed his lips tightly and looked at Ada with inquiring eyes.

The latter shook her head silently. Her left eye projected a holographic projection and generated subtitles: "Full-band electromagnetic interference, all drones have lost contact."

In the settings of many literary works, spirits and supernatural phenomena are often linked to electromagnetic waves, which indeed has its rationality.

Patter patter!

The steel frame supporting the shelter transmitted a clear vibration sound, and the dense contact collision sound was as if there were countless fingers and toes.

That thing was climbing up the steel frame pillars.

Wu Quan felt his scalp tingle. He shook his wrist and clicked more than a dozen times on the mechanical keyboard of his watch.

Four mechanical arms driven by motors rose outside the shelter, lifted four automatic machine guns, and extended under the shelter.

The machine guns came with their own cameras, transmitting the captured footage back to the room through insulated cables, and after being processed by the central computer (which can use computer algorithms to filter out meme pollution), it was presented on the screen.

It was a thin and long humanoid existence, with slender hands and feet twice the length of a normal person, a spine bone protruding high, gray-white skin, highly decayed body, and a missing lower jaw.

Perhaps hearing the sound of the mechanical arm rotating, the humanoid existence raised its head, its two hollow eye sockets staring straight at the machine gun turret.

"Fire!"

There was no need for REX to remind him. Wu Quan slammed the button on his watch, and all the machine guns fired at the same time.

Clang clang clang—

The rotary gun barrels rotated at high speed, firing bullet chains.

The humanoid entity didn't dodge or evade. All the bullets hit its body, all suddenly slowed down, got stuck, and then fell off.

How is that possible?!

Wu Quan's pupils shrank. Each bullet of the machine gun turret had live ammunition lethality, and at the same time, there was a trace amount of incense ash mixed with bone ash in the bullet head, which could effectively block the energy fluctuations of the spirit body. It had been quite effective in the previous rounds of supernatural events, until now.

Could it be that as the mission time limit entered the countdown, the curse had strengthened again..

There was no time to think too much. The humanoid entity, or rather the thin gray shadow cosplayed by Grey Rain, waved its arm, and the four machine gun turrets were hit by an invisible force and exploded out of thin air.

"Groups A, B, C, and D demolition completed."

Several kilometers away, the cylindrical and square robots sitting in the Forbidden Army chariot compartment tried their best to suppress the excitement in their voices.

The drones scattered throughout the city were suppressed by the airborne electromagnetic interference system of the Edge Fighter high in the sky, falling into a crash.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Cheng used the Map of Myriad Ancient Long Wars to drop Grey Rain and the Forbidden Army chariot in different positions. Grey Rain sneaked under the shelter, while the chariot driven by the machine servants switched ammunition to vector shells, accurately hitting the machine gun turrets from a distance.

Because vector shells are formless and traceless, and the launch trajectory could not be seen, in the perspective of Wu Quan and even the customer service Sister Yuan of the Ten Thousand Eyes Communication Headset, the machine gun turrets exploded out of thin air.

Wu Quan was terrified. The next second, the thin gray shadow pierced the floor of the shelter with sharp fingernails, and the multi-segment finger joints like bamboo insects scratched wildly.

Arcee didn't say a word. She took out a talisman for suppressing evil with her left hand, placed it in front of her right hand, and the skin of her right palm folded over, revealing a pitch-black gun barrel.

Sss—

Surging flames carrying the flying ash of the talisman sprayed out, burning the long fingers red. Zing!

Abdullah pulled out a replica of the Zulfiqar sword with forked double blades from the void and slashed with all his might at the back of Grey Rain's hand. Even if the blade was broken, he didn't see any effect.

Wu Quan didn't dare to have any luck. His blood surged, his muscles expanded and tore his clothes, and he blasted dozens of punches with internal force, which had no effect.

"Hehehehehahahaha."

Grey Rain let out a strange laugh in her heart. Facing cross-dimensional war weapons like the Alpha Python and Phase-Shifting Demon in the first two missions, calling her a little gray was indeed not a problem. But facing several players below Lv15, the nanometer technology of the Zelo civilization, which was thousands of years ahead, plus the all-around enhancement of 【Silver Wing Light Path】, was still too authoritative.

Slender fingers like snakes wrapped around the hands, feet, and limbs of the six players, forcibly binding and dragging them to the ground. The gray-white skin at the fingertips slowly cracked, and black blood was ready to go.

This black water naturally came from the resentment of the Death Curse summoned from the 【Heat Death Corridor】. The combination of the Heat Death Corridor and the Map of Myriad Ancient Long Wars produced the effect that Li Cheng could also turn summons into war chess pieces and drop them to designated positions as he pleased.

At this moment, the resentment of the Death Curse in the form of black water was hidden three meters underground. The hallucinogenic effect contained in the water flow was enough to numb Wu Quan and the others.

"Black water nourishes people, drink more, drink more."

Grey Rain whispered. Because she lacked a lower jaw, the sound was severely distorted, which sounded like ancient god whispers to REX and the others.

At the critical moment, Arcee of the Machine War Thunder Guild had her waist prosthetic pop open with a bang, revealing the metal spherical joint hidden inside.

As a semi-prosthetic person, her lower body was just like a Gundam, just a decoration.

The upper and lower parts of the spherical joint twisted in opposite directions, and the huge torque generated allowed her to break free from the shackles. She turned her head down and feet up, supported the ground with one hand, and released a skill called 【Concentric Displacement】 with the other hand toward Ada, who was heavily bound.

【Concentric Displacement】 skill is similar to 【Familiar Swap】, except that the former has a shorter effective distance and requires a pointing action when used.

In an instant, Arcee and Ada swapped positions instantly. Arcee fell into Grey Rain's finger cage, while Ada broke free from the shackles.

The moment she regained control of her body, she decisively dissolved most of her body, turning into a pure green data stream, toward the bottom.

Boom!!!

The explosive shockwave directly tore the floor of the shelter, and the huge impact force twisted the shelter's support pillars like twisting a twist.

The entire building slowly collapsed. Ada spared some energy to cover Wu Quan and the others with green data bubbles.

After the shelter completely collapsed and the smoke and dust dissipated, everyone could see clearly that the thin gray shadow had a hole one meter in diameter torn in its chest, lying on its back, lifeless.

Inside the wound, there were also a large number of disco rice (when white living maggots crawl on animal corpses, they will constantly wriggle, like rice dancing disco, hence the name).

"What, what is this?"

Abdullah was still in shock. 【Nightmare Curse】, just like its name, the images of the spirits generated mostly come from the players' fears.

But this thin gray shadow was too evil.

The serious voice of Customer Service Sister Yuan came from the Ten Thousand Eyes Communication Headset. "The most similar one in the database is the Killing Field native species 【Living Jumping Corpse】, but the similarity is only 30%.... Watch out!"

The thin gray shadow turned into a pool of scattered maggot-filled blood on the spot, and in the blood, a monster that was significantly smaller in volume, dressed as a clown, and carrying a machete, slowly rose.

Grey Rain had also seen the information of several players. One of REX's childhood shadows was the clown.

She didn't rush up in the first time, but stood in place, revealing an insidious and greedy smile. "Props team, prepare to set smoke."

High in the sky, Li Cheng commanded calmly. The machine servants hidden in various buildings immediately drove the machinery, spraying blood-red smoke covering most of the city.

"Sound effects team, make noise."

Grey Rain stepped out slowly, utilizing the Map of Myriad Ancient Long Wars to quietly teleport to the square robot deep underground, and pressed the sound switch in turn according to their respective positions.

Following Grey Rain's footsteps, a dull thumping sound came from deep underground. It was as if her power could penetrate the rock layer.

Master aura, strong style, until...

Thump!

Grey Rain hadn't had time to take the next step, and the square robot deep underground pressed the sound switch early due to a shaking hand.

"Holy crap! It's exposed!"

Grey Rain shouted loudly in her heart, her pace suddenly stiffened.

"Don't be nervous! As long as you are not nervous, the one who is nervous is others."

Li Cheng's tone was firm. He knew these players too well. Long-term fighting with the Killing Field had long since made them develop the habit of automatic brain-filling. "Keep walking."

Grey Rain's smile was stiff, and she continued to take steps, but that square robot underground, because it lost face in front of the respected General Kim, was so anxious in its mechanical eyes that it directly sprayed electrolyte. The electrolyte spilled on the sound system, causing electric sparks. Instead of turning off the sound, it repeated the dull thumping sound effect like a DVD skipping.

"It's still coming?!"

Grey Rain shouted "Holy crap" in her heart, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. She immediately jumped into the moonwalk, retreated in place, and matched the underground sound effect.

And in the eyes of Wu Quan and the others, this clown monster, which was suspected to be the second stage of the Boss, could cause a micro-earthquake with any random step, and couldn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations. Its strength... was unfathomable.

Run! The further the better, the faster the better! ===== CHAPTER 569 =====

In the eyes of Wu Quan and the others, this clown before them, who appeared to be a second-phase boss, could trigger a micro-earthquake with a casual step, yet they could not sense any spiritual power fluctuations. Its strength... was unfathomable.

Run! The further, the better; the faster, the better!
