Another player stood there, looking bewildered, muttering, "Your boyfriend said he can't get in. It seems only players can enter, so they're letting us..."
"Um, let us come in and praise you, and then cheer you on..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the other players who had fallen in alongside him, "He didn't ask us for help, did he?"
"No... they just asked us to come in and deliver a message..."
As they spoke, several players turned their gazes to Yin Xiu. "In short, your boyfriend said you've shrunk and are so cute, and he wanted us to come in and tell you so you wouldn't know..."
Yin Xiu stood there silently, raising his eyes to look at the giant eye in the sky, a pair of eyes staring straight at him, eyes filled with surging emotions.
"Okay... I understand..." Yin Xiu replied calmly, trying to suppress his complicated emotions, and lifted his foot to continue looking for the young boy.
"Um...do you need our help?" A few players stood there awkwardly. They had been thrown in like that. As players who had been locked in the cave with him and were about to be burned alive, they knew that Yin Xiu's goal was the young boy. If they asked for help, they couldn't really do anything. If they didn't help, they would just watch, as if they had really just been thrown in as messengers.
Using it as a tool for young couples is just too shameful!
Not to mention how terrified they were when they were caught and forced in, they now look extremely embarrassed as they face the person they are trying to deliver the message to.
"No need." Yin Xiu glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, said this, and then stepped into the forest, leaving the few people standing there helplessly.
They didn't know how to get out either, so they could only huddle together and squat there, looking completely lost.
Yin Xiu, carrying a knife, entered the forest. This forest was exactly the same as the one outside the crystal ball, almost a replica of the outside scene. However, the space of the replica was much larger, and this small crystal ball could not completely replicate it; there must be limitations.
He strolled leisurely through the forest, curious to see how this man would play hide-and-seek with him in this confined space.
Yin Xiu first walked straight ahead for about 500 meters. The edge was an invisible glass, and the outside world was blurry. He probably reached the edge, so he walked along the edge of the glass to figure out the size of the place.
It's a tiny world completely isolated by a circular glass dome, with a diameter of one kilometer in reality. It's not very big, not suitable for hiding people, but it's a nice place to live in a small, secluded spot.
Yin Xiu circled the edge and then slowly moved towards the center. This place wasn't very big, and there weren't many hidden places to hide. He wanted to see where this person could finally hide.
As Yin Xiu searched, he found some blurry footprints on the ground. The boy had stepped on the ashes of a campfire near the main camp of Town 114 before, and his footprints would leave some blurry traces on the ground.
Yin Xiu held his breath and slowly followed the direction of the footprints, searching for the trail.
He noticed that after the young boy circled around the perimeter, he probably spotted Yin Xiu wandering around inside and slowly returned to the center, eventually coming back to the vicinity of the pillar.
From afar, he heard players screaming in agony, running and pleading for help, "Help! No! Boss! Killing us here is useless! Don't forget this is your loot!"
"Boss, please spare us! We haven't betrayed you, why do you have to kill us!"
"Boss! Boss! That's enough!"
The young boy probably didn't expect Li Mo to throw other players in. He thought that only Yin Xiu and he were in the whole space, so he returned to the vicinity of the center of the map without worry. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the players who were squatting there and was preparing to kill them before Yin Xiu returned.
Yin Xiu emerged from the forest with a blank expression, just in time to see the young boy chasing after several players.
These people had served under the young boy before, so they knew exactly how to avoid any hostility directed at him. They didn't attack the boy; they just ran away, hiding and hiding. As long as they weren't killed, he would get tired of it sooner or later.
The young boy completely ignored their explanations, his eyes flashing fiercely. "If you hadn't betrayed me and joined them, how would you have ended up here! You only appeared here because you came with them to find me, don't think I don't know!"
His expectation was that Yin Xiu would bring Li Mo to find him, and that players who hadn't betrayed him wouldn't be here. That was indeed the case, but no one expected Li Mo to come back and bring people in. Now the players couldn't explain themselves and could only scream and run away.
Yin Xiu stood calmly to the side, watching them chase each other, and finally said softly, "Are you tired?"
"If you're tired, stop and rest."
As soon as he spoke, the people chasing the pillar immediately stopped, and the players rushed over joyfully as if they had found a savior.
"Quick! Tell him! We didn't come here voluntarily!"
"Yeah, yeah, we were practically thrown in here by your boyfriend! I feel so wronged!"
"Boss, you really trust us, so I wouldn't dare betray you!"
No one knows the strength of Yin Xiu's side. If they betray him easily, and the young boy returns unharmed, they will be the ones who suffer. They are very smart!
The young boy ignored him and stared intently at Yin Xiu, saying, "So you really did come looking for me."
His face darkened. "Was it your monster that helped you?"
"Normally, no player would come here, but it's good that you're here. Only players can enter this item; monsters absolutely cannot. If they can't enter, it means I'm no longer a threat."
He had anticipated that these two would come looking for him before he ran away. Hiding in the crystal ball was not only to avoid the unexpected trouble caused by Li Mo, but also to prepare for Yin Xiu's arrival.
Only monsters can evade his malicious items. Yin Xiu is different; he's a player. As long as he enters, no monster can get in. He's the one who calls the shots here.
Faced with the boy's sinister malice, Yin Xiufeng remained calm and composed, saying, "If malice could backfire, you should be the first to die."
"That's a pity. My malicious items won't backfire." The young boy sneered and charged forward with a sharp knife. He knew very well what his counterattack was, but he had prepared many weapons for assassination, so losing one or two wouldn't have much of an impact.
Seeing the other person confidently approach with a short knife, Yin Xiu sighed softly and gripped the hilt.
What could possibly make someone who is not skilled with swords think that he could kill Yin Xiu, who is proficient in swords, with a sword?
The moment the knife stabbed towards him, Yin Xiu swiftly drew his own, a flash of cold light in his hand.
With a clang, the knife in the boy's hand broke in two and flew away, while Yin Xiu's long sword was pressed straight against the boy's throat, his gaze cold.
"How many knives do you have left? Take them all out."
