Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

The chirping of insects could be heard all around.

The players' screams never came again.

Fan Xiao was not surprised by this.

Players who have escaped back home will no longer be attacked by the Mummified Granny.

As for those who didn't escape in time... they've probably already been eaten by the mummified old woman.

The dead will naturally no longer make a sound.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A minute passed quickly, and the mummified old woman was nowhere to be seen.

"He hasn't even been here for a minute... Judging from this efficiency, the old woman with the dried corpse and the big-faced monster are different; there should only be one of them."

"Her ability to travel to various player locations so efficiently... is probably due to the teleportation ability she demonstrated earlier."

As Fan Xiao analyzed the situation, he patiently observed the surrounding environment for any abnormalities, remaining vigilant at all.

About ten seconds later, a strange, shrill laugh suddenly rang out behind him.

Standing at the main entrance, Li Jian saw that familiar, terrifying figure and immediately tensed up.

He was about to shout to warn Fan Xiao when Fan Xiao reacted first and took action.

"Grand Duke Rabbit!"

The next instant, a giant rabbit doll nearly four meters tall appeared next to Fan Xiao.

Compared to the previous "Duke Bunny", the current bunny doll now wears a neat and luxurious aristocratic outfit.

However, this outfit looks a bit strange on a rabbit.

After the doll appeared, it kept shaking its two short legs and started doing the bunny dance.

At the same time, Fan Xiao manipulated the "Dustless Shield" to generate a repulsive force that propelled himself away, and kept adjusting his direction, making himself start to spin rapidly around Duke Rabbit.

Every moment, he was changing his position to avoid staying in one place and giving the old woman with the dried corpse an opportunity to attack him.

His move proved to be somewhat unnecessary.

After the appearance of Grand Duke Rabbit, Granny Mummified Corpse changed her target.

Her face, as dry as tree bark, turned directly to the giant rabbit doll, staring intently at it with her cold eyes, before teleporting to its side in the next second.

The mummified old woman opened her mouth wide, and her mouth split open all the way to her ears, turning into a gaping maw of blood.

She took a bite out of the Grand Duke Bunny, tearing off a piece of his luxurious clothing and body parts.

Then she took a second bite, a third bite, a fourth bite...

When it came time to take the fifth bite, the old woman's movements slowed down noticeably.

She seemed to gradually break free from the mental interference, her head slowly turning towards Fan Xiao, who was moving rapidly.

Fan Xiao, who had been observing the mummified old woman, naturally noticed this scene.

This time he didn't delay. He immediately adjusted the direction of the repulsive force and launched himself to the front door, landing inside the house.

At this moment, Granny Mummified Corpse had completely broken free from the "hate state" created by Grand Duke Rabbit.

Her cold eyes stared at Fan Xiao inside the room for a moment, then she disappeared from the spot.

"call……"

Seeing this, Li Jian patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "That was so close!"

"What's so thrilling about this?"

After putting away the Rabbit Grand Duke, Fan Xiao said, "It seems that Granny Mummified is only strong because of her special state, which makes her immune to our physical attacks. Mental attacks still work on her."

"Was that rabbit doll a mental attack tool?" Li Jian asked.

Fan Xiao smiled but did not answer the question.

His guess was proven correct.

The only way to deal with the monsters in this dungeon is through mental attacks.

Or... like "annihilating a nation," you could just blow up the entire instance.

Break all laws with one force.

"Even Grand Duke Rabbit couldn't exert much mental interference on Granny Corpse. It could only buy her some breathing time, so it wasn't very effective. It seems that we need a tool that can directly attack the mind to break this deadlock."

"However, items that can interfere with the mind are very rare, let alone those that can directly attack the mind..."

"Thankfully, I have my little angel."

After confirming that he had a trump card to deal with the dungeon monsters, Fan Xiao felt much more relaxed.

On the other side, seeing that Fan Xiao did not answer his question, Li Jian changed the subject and said, "There seem to be only three monsters in this dungeon: the Big-Faced Monster, the Ghostly Blue Fire, and the Mummified Granny."

"Among them, the big-faced monster and the dried-up old woman are the most threatening. It seems that the will-o'-the-wisp only serves to remind people that night has come? Of course, it is also possible that I have not yet witnessed its true danger."

"All three dangers have ways to be avoided. Based on this level of difficulty alone, this dungeon shouldn't be considered one of the most difficult D-rank dungeons. Therefore..."

He concluded, "Brother Fan, your previous guess might be true."

"The horror stories we tell at night could very well become reality."

"At that time... sigh, I hope that after hearing my previous shouts, other players won't tell any outrageous stories tonight."

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Fan Xiao said, "And even if horror stories become reality, they don't necessarily all have the power of the Mummified Granny."

"Look at the big-faced monster, isn't it weak? As long as you run fast, it can't do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Li Jian subconsciously looked up at the roof beam and said guiltily, "Let's not... let's not say anything bad about it, otherwise it might suddenly jump out... then we'll be trapped with the big-faced monster inside and the dried-up corpse granny outside, with nowhere to run!"

“No, I’m not like you.” Fan Xiao laughed. “You will indeed be in dire straits, but as for me… I can fly in the sky all night long and race against the old woman with the dried corpse. I doubt she can do anything to me.”

Li Jian: "..."

Chapter 118 Horror Story

Fan Xiao's words immediately stirred feelings of envy, jealousy, and resentment in Li Jian.

He couldn't help but say, "The flying item is too overpowered! I don't think it should be available to D-level players."

"After all, being able to fly gives you a huge advantage in dungeons, it's so unfair!"

"There is no fairness in the real world. Games are made by people. You think you can find fairness in a game? Don't be silly."

Fan Xiao shook his head: "Let's stop with the small talk. We should go and take good care of our younger brother."

After saying that, he walked towards the room on the side of the living room.

Opening the door and going to the bedside, Fan Xiao squatted down and reached under the bed... and pulled out his younger brother.

This swift movement startled Li Jian.

He quickly said, "Hey, hey, be gentle, pull him gently. Didn't we speculate that he's a monster in disguise? If you're so rough, something might happen."

"Don't worry, I'm just dizzy."

Fan Xiao said casually.

Not only could the little boy be a monster, but he had previously speculated that everyone in the town could be a monster.

If you're surrounded by monsters, you'll have to be extremely cautious in everything you do if you don't keep a calm mindset.

"By the way, what do you think would happen if we skipped this part and didn't tell a bedtime story?"

Li Jian suddenly asked, or rather suggested.

"There's a high chance the big-faced monster on the roof beam will jump down and attack you, or a new monster will appear and attack you."

Fan Xiao said, "This situation would be manageable during the day, but it's nighttime now. Our only activity area is inside the house. There's the mummified old woman outside, so we can't go out. If we're attacked from both inside and outside... Do you want to give it a try?"

"...Let's just stick to telling the story."

Li Jian abandoned his idea of ​​cheating and shirking responsibility.

If they were attacked from both inside and outside, they would be doomed... Well, it seems that only he would die; the Vansa brothers could escape their predicament by keeping flying.

The gap between players...

After placing the little boy on the bed, Fan Xiao looked down and observed him for a moment.

The little boy was still asleep, and his expression was very calm.

The state of a "vampire" manipulating another person's blood can only be maintained for a maximum of 1 hour.

If more than an hour has passed, to regain control, the blood weapon must be re-inserted into the target's body.

Fan Xiao could no longer feel the connection between his blood and the little boy's.

After thinking about it, he gave up on using the "vampire" ability to regain control of the blood and wake the other person up.

He aimed at the sleeping boy's face and slapped him hard twice.

The boy was instantly jolted awake by the blows.

Li Jian, watching from the side, was terrified and hesitated to speak.

"Sister Xiao Cui?"

After the little boy got up, he rubbed his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "My face...why does it hurt a little? What time is it? I think I fell asleep?"

“After you finished eating, you played a horse-riding game with me for a while,” Fan Xiao replied. “While we were playing, you got sleepy and fell asleep on my back. I carried you to bed, and you slept soundly until now.”

"We played a horse riding game? I have absolutely no recollection of that."

"You were half asleep, so of course you don't remember, that's normal."

"But...why does my face hurt a little? Ouch...it hurts so much."

The little boy carefully touched his cheek.

“I don’t know,” Fan Xiao said. “Maybe a mosquito bit your face while you were sleeping, and you instinctively tried to swat it, but accidentally hit yourself.”

Li Jian: "..."

He's really broadened his horizons to see someone lie so blatantly and so naturally.

Just how many lies has this guy told?

"Alright," Fan Xiao patted the little boy's head and smiled, "Good boy, it's time for you to go to sleep."

"Huh? But I just woke up and can't fall back asleep at all."

said the little boy.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao smiled.

“Then I’ll tell you a bedtime story,” he said. “You’ll probably fall asleep while you listen.”

"Okay! Okay! Let's hear a story! Let's hear a story!"

The little boy clapped his hands happily.

After gathering his emotions, Fan Xiao slowly recounted, "This is what happened to my friend Xiaoming last year. Xiaoming is very playful and always plays outside for a long time before going home. One day, as usual, Xiaoming forgot the time because he was playing. By the time he remembered to go home, it was almost dark."

"Xiao Ming was afraid of being scolded by his parents, so he ran home as fast as he could. As he ran, he suddenly saw a girl with a ponytail on the side of the road. The girl was squatting on the ground, covering her face and crying."

"Why are you crying?" the little boy asked.

"Yes, why cry?"

Fan Xiao continued, "Xiao Ming was also very curious, so he went up to ask if someone had bullied her. The girl with the ponytail replied that she had gotten separated from her family and was very scared to be out alone."

"So Xiaoming suggested that the girl stay at his house for the night and then accompany her to look for her family the next morning."

"The girl refused, saying that Xiaoming would definitely be scared after seeing her. Xiaoming said that he was not scared at all and urged the girl to get up quickly and come home with him."

"After hearing Xiaoming's promise, the girl with the ponytail obediently stood up. She moved her hands away from her face and faced Xiaoming directly, which immediately frightened him so much that he started to scream."

"Huh? Why was Xiaoming scared?" the little boy asked curiously.

Fan Xiao said, "Because when Xiaoming saw the girl with the ponytail from the front, she still had a ponytail."

"Hahaha... This girl has a ponytail on both the back of her head and the front of her face. She's so ugly! Ugly freak!"
