"Let's go then." Yin Xiu turned his head and glanced at the sky. Although it was still a while before dawn, they could start making preparations in advance.
"Huh? Are we going already?" Zhong Mu rubbed his dark circles. He had been directing players to set up traps during the day, and then brought Ya Ya to find Yin Xiu after dark. He thought he could at least get some rest before dawn.
"Come on! Wherever brother goes, I'll go!" Ya Ya naturally took Yin Xiu's hand.
"Wherever my boyfriend goes, I'll go too." Li Mo said defiantly, taking Yin Xiu's other hand.
The two monsters, holding Yin Xiu's hand, had basically decided on their next move. Zhong Mu, with dark circles under his eyes, followed heavily behind the three big shots, feeling like a corporate slave. He had to take care of his boss's youngest daughter while at work, and after get off work, he had to go shopping with his boss and his family of three.
It's so tough.
The viewers in the live chat were unaware of Zhong Mu's inner thoughts, praising the newcomer's diligence and expressing their anticipation for what was to come.
Yin Xiu first found a hunter who held Li Mo, Ya Ya, and Zhong Mu hostage, pretending that he had captured the players.
The hunters found almost no one tonight, except for Yin Xiu, who, while wandering around, found that the number of players around him had increased from one to three. The hunters already trusted him a lot, and now they recognized his achievements even more.
Then Yin Xiu revealed that he had found the player's hideout, and then sent a hunter to find the other hunters and gather them together before dawn to capture the player, thus fulfilling the hunting ground conditions on the last day.
"Boss, did you really find the player's hiding place?" The hunters were shocked. Was the condition they had failed to meet so many times finally going to be met in this dungeon because they had met a boss?
The thought that with the help of a mysterious big shot, they could finally meet the conditions for a divine descent in the hunting grounds was somewhat gratifying. Their hearts, which had given up because of Yin Xiu's appearance, were suddenly filled with excitement.
"Boss, wait here! I'll go find the other hunters right away and we'll go capture players together! You're sure to be the one approved by the gods this time, and we can all benefit from it!" The hunter was very excited. After giving instructions to Yin Xiu, he rushed out, looking extremely excited. As he walked, he kept muttering to himself, "The boss who can kill Yin Xiu is amazing! So strong!"
Staring at the hunter's departure, Zhong Mu turned his head in confusion, "Huh? Was it just saying that Yin Xiu is dead?"
"Hmm." Yin Xiu responded indifferently, "Yin Xiu is dead. I killed him."
Zhong Mu was taken aback, her brows furrowing in a complicated expression.
Well, as expected of a big shot, his methods are all flashy and unpredictable. Which hunter would have thought that the person who killed Yin Xiu was Yin Xiu himself?
However, if it's Yin Xiu, then any action is normal; he has gradually gotten used to the outrageous behavior of the big boss.
"By the way," Yin Xiu pointed behind him, "the gods in this instance seem to have been misled by them and think I'm the monster who killed Yin Xiu, so they want to see me."
Zhong Mu silently looked behind Yin Xiu. Although he didn't see anything, he still clapped. He could already foresee how complicated things would be when the god saw Yin Xiu appear. If it had seen Yin Xiu before, the situation would be even more ridiculous.
Actually, the way the pros clear dungeons has a bit of an entertainment element to it, right?
The group sat down on the spot and began to rest and observe how the situation developed.
After the first hunter left, hunters came one after another after hearing the news. They all said that the big shot had found the player's hideout and wanted to come and try to get some credit.
Seeing the two strange players that Yin Xiu had grabbed on either side, they were even more convinced of Yin Xiu's identity as a big shot.
Some hunters might be confused: "The locator clearly shows there are only two players, but the pro player caught three. That's strange..."
"Maybe it's because kids don't count? I didn't expect there to be such young players in this dungeon; I've never seen them before."
The hunters were puzzled and couldn't think of an answer for a moment. Anyway, they figured they should just follow the big shots and put their brains aside for now. Why bother with all that effort against the monsters in low-level dungeons? With Yin Xiu dead, they still had the help of the big shots, and this dungeon was a sure thing.
As dawn broke, more and more hunters gathered around Yin Xiu. By the time it was nearly daybreak, almost all the hunters had come to Yin Xiu's side, eager to follow their leader to fulfill the sacrificial conditions at the last moment.
Most of the hunters had already given up on the conditions of this instance, but now there was still a chance to turn back. They followed Yin Xiu, full of pride and high spirits, ready to rush out as soon as Yin Xiu gave them a word.
Yin Xiu glanced at the time and realized it was almost time. He stood up, looked at Zhong Mu, and said in a threatening tone, "Lead the way. If you don't want to die, take us to the other players' hideouts. Then you'll have a chance to live."
All the hunters' eyes instantly focused on Zhong Mu. So he had captured a player with information. As expected of a master, he was able to find a breakthrough. He was truly amazing!
Zhong Mu seized the opportunity to feign a fawning attitude, "Can you really spare my life? That would be wonderful! I don't want to die! I finally made it to this instance!"
He tearfully recounted his story, but before Yin Xiu could respond, the hunter beside him spoke up, "As long as you behave and lead us to the other players, we might spare your life. I advise you to be sensible in front of our big boss!"
"Exactly! A player like you could be easily killed by a pro with a single strike!
Under the hunters' opportunistic threats, Zhong Mu sniffed and pretended to be timid, "Okay, okay... I'll take you! Please don't kill me!"
His crying and feigned fear and panic amused Ya Ya, who giggled. Yin Xiu coughed twice to divert her attention, and then said, "Then lead the way."
"Okay, okay!" Zhong Mu nodded quickly, and after confirming the direction, he led the entire hunter team ahead of Yin Xiu toward the area where the gunpowder traps were buried. "This way, everyone! We'll be there soon."
It was rare to see players alive bowing and scraping before them. Some hunters who hadn't been able to find any players for days were in high spirits and followed Yin Xiu in that direction.
As the sky grew brighter, the final moments of the dungeon were approaching.
To ensure the players would clear the level first, Zhong Mu kept leading them in circles. As time dwindled, the hunters grew impatient and angrily grabbed Zhong Mu by the collar, shouting, "You little brat, have you been going in circles all this time?! We come to this island every night, don't think we don't know!"
Even after being grabbed by the collar and lifted up, Zhong Mu wasn't too flustered. Instead, he tried to smile apologetically and said, "You guys know each other well, but I don't. I've only been on the island for a few days, and it's easy to get lost at night. I'm sorry."
"But we've arrived now, we're right here! No need to walk any further."
"Right here?" The hunter looked around in annoyance. It was clearly an empty space with nothing in it!
Just as it was about to continue its threats, Yin Xiu spoke up, "Put him down."
Yin Xiu calmly looked up at the sky, "No need to go any further, let's just leave it here and clear the level on time."
"Huh?" Zhong Mu calmly patted his clothes after being put down. "Was it really that extreme? What if they resisted?"
The moment he uttered that voice, the other hunters were instantly dumbfounded.
How come the expert understands every single word the player says, but can't understand them when they're put together?
Rebellion? Does it refer to the rebellion of the players hiding here?
