Chapter 458: Maze Combo Skill (1)

Li Hao, a Three-Star player.

In life, he loved outdoor exploration, so he had a very strong foresight for danger.

When he realized that the light from all the flashlights in the tunnel went out at the same time.

Time seemed to be stretched out.

He heard...

His brain's frantic shout when issuing commands to his body: Jump!

When Li Hao came back to his senses, he had already jumped onto the conveyor belt.

Suddenly, he seemed to have been hit by something.

His whole body couldn't move!

But, there was no sensation of pain, he just couldn't move. He realized...

Two issues.

One: He was frozen.

Two: The rain of arrows on the conveyor belt stopped.

'So that's how it is!'

'Chen Ran shined the bright light on 【Chen Ran】, yelling for the person who used the skill just now to fire one more shot.'

'For him.'

'He doesn't know if this skill is a single-target attack or an area-of-effect attack.'

'If it's a single-target attack, 【Chen Ran】 gets frozen!'

'If it's an area-of-effect attack, everyone on the steps on the right side of the tunnel will be frozen.'

'But, for the person using the skill, it's different. Since Chen Ran is on the right side, they have to fire one more shot no matter what.'

'Simply because the next two attacks of the Adventure Chamber will appear on the right side. As long as Chen Ran is frozen, Chen Ran will undoubtedly die. Therefore, even if everyone on the right side is frozen, it doesn't matter.'

'In other words, everyone on the right side will undoubtedly die.'

'But, since Chen Ran dared to shout like that, it meant he had an escape route.'

'There is only one possibility...'

'The rain of arrows on the conveyor belt stopped, jumping from the right step onto the conveyor belt can let one live.'

The facts were just as he thought. When Chen Ran noticed that all the flashlight beams in the tunnel went out, he knew that person was using a skill again, so he jumped onto the conveyor belt without hesitation.

The next moment.

Everyone on the right side was frozen, but actually only one person was frozen on the steps, the rest were frozen on the conveyor belt.

The person frozen on the steps was exactly the 【Chen Ran】 who was illuminated by Chen Ran's bright light.

The fake 【Chen Ran】 didn't react in time.

Waiting for him was...

The attack from the right side.

Before long, rows of spears appeared on the right tunnel wall, stabbing 【Chen Ran】 to death.

…

The freezing time ended.

Li Hao's expression was solemn. He knew that the real Chen Ran was hidden among them.

Like a hunting beast.

'The next attack is still on the right.'

'But!'

'The attack after that comes from behind.'

'I can't stand on the conveyor belt anymore.'

Thus, he jumped onto the left step. As far as this tunnel was concerned, the left side was absolutely safe.

The others did the same as him.

Seeing this, Li Hao frowned. He found that the players in this Secret Room were all very smart.

Chen Ran only made two moves and tricked three people to death.

This had some discrepancy with his imagination that Slaves were Cannon Fodder.

Even though Li Hao was also a Slave.

He lifted his flashlight and found that the person standing in front of him on the left step...

Looking from the back, it was Chen Ran!

But, just now everyone was scrambling to jump onto the left step, so no one knew exactly what position the real Chen Ran was in.

Originally, the Persona Mask was to make it easier for virtual people to disguise themselves, but Chen Ran immediately eliminated the five virtual people in the first instance. Instead, the Persona Mask became Chen Ran's protective umbrella.

Five Chen Rans, only one died, leaving four. Who was the real one?

Thinking up to this point.

Li Hao touched his Liar-Slayer, but considering that this tunnel had basically no danger as long as one stood on the left side, he ultimately didn't intend to use his skill.

Just like this, the 12 people stuck close to the left tunnel wall, walking forward little by little.

With the previous lesson, every player maintained a distance of about two meters.

Soon, light appeared ahead.

The tunnel ended.

The conveyor belt had also reached its end here; there was no conveyor belt ahead.

Here was a passageway built with bluestone.

Everyone stood in front of the passageway.

First looking at their Watches, then at the number of people in the Secret Room, it was exactly twelve people.

"I am not Chen Ran."

"I am not Chen Ran."

"I am not Chen Ran."

Among the four Chen Rans, three had already revealed their identities. Everyone looked at the Chen Ran who was silently smoking and didn't speak: He was the real one.

Looking at the passageway ahead again, there were no hints in front of the passageway, nor were there any statues or murals on the left and right sides.

'In other words, this passageway is theoretically safe.'

'Walking inside won't trigger traps, it should be something like a maze.'

Thinking up to this point.

Li Hao felt it was necessary to prepare.

He winked at everyone, and the 11 of them distanced themselves from Chen Ran.

Li Hao whispered: "My skill can..." He didn't finish his sentence.

He saw Chen Ran standing beside him, listening with relish: "Keep talking."

Li Hao: "..."

Next, Chen Ran acted like a dog-skin plaster. Wherever they went, Chen Ran would immediately follow and listen in.

The 【Jiang Zhe】 who used his skill earlier wanted to freeze him in place, so Chen Ran ran towards the crowd, scaring everyone into scurrying around.

'Shameless!'

They could only ignore him.

"According to my guess, there should be a maze inside the passageway," Li Hao said.

"Since it's a maze, it means that if we go in later, the passageway in front of us might be sealed, and players will need to find another way out within the maze."

"Furthermore, there are no hints, which means we can go in batches."

His meaning was very obvious. If there was a powerful Combo Skill among the 11 of them, then those few people would go in with Chen Ran and use the Combo Skill on him in the maze.

Li Hao organized his wording: "My skill is very special, I can't tell you the effects in advance, otherwise..."

He looked at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran: "Otherwise what?"

"In short, bring me along later, it might have miraculous effects," Li Hao said.

After all, among the Slaves present, the other Slaves were bought for a few dozen Points, only his price was over a hundred Points, which was enough to explain the problem.

"My skill is a mechanics type," the player with 【Qiu Yinong】's face said.

She thought for a moment and added: "It's related to the movements made by the body."

【Lin Xuan】 said: "You can also bring me along, my skill..."

"Belongs to the chaos type."

Everyone's eyes lit up. Ego-Tier chaos skills were very rare.

And the 【Qiu Yinong】 who spoke just now looked at him with an even more excited face.

This made everyone realize that the skills of these two could probably perfectly coordinate with each other.

But there was a problem. These skills were all area-of-effect skills, which meant that not only would Chen Ran be hit, but even they themselves, including the person using the skill, would also be hit.

If they were ordinary players, they might care about this, but they were Slaves. Even if there was a ninety percent risk, they dared to try.

If they won, it meant freedom!

The three stood up, but right at this moment, a 【Chen Ran】 also stood up along with them.

"Bring me along!"

"My skill can't be told for now, you will know later."

Seeing this, Li Hao nodded heavily. The four people simultaneously looked at Chen Ran.

From their eyes, Chen Ran saw a killing intent that viewed death as returning home.

'Slaves are humans too...'

He didn't wait for the four people to speak, and took the initiative to walk into the passageway ahead. The four people closely followed behind.
