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

Immediately afterwards, the sea of ​​fire began to rage.

Countless flames swept towards Prince Rabbit, completely ignoring the other fleeing players.

Fan Xiao and his four companions stood on the rooftop, intently watching the sea of ​​fire.

Finally, they saw a near-human figure appear, closely following behind Prince Rabbit.

"Do it!"

As Fan Xiao spoke, he manipulated the blood within his body to surge forth, converging into a blood blade that shot out.

The blood blade swept through the air and quickly arrived beside the fire monster.

In an instant, under his control, the blood blade exploded into a cloud of blood mist, enveloping a small area nearby.

Emotional magic activated.

A terrifying freezing force descended, the air rapidly cooled, and the surrounding flames were extinguished one after another.

A thick layer of ice appeared on the ground.

Countless ice crystals appeared in the air.

Just a few seconds later, the fire monster was frozen along with its surroundings.

A small iceberg appeared in the sight of all the players.

The fire monster is trapped.

But whether he died or not, nobody knows.

Nori seized the opportunity, pulling up the blindfold covering her left eye to reveal her golden pupil.

Beneath her long eyelashes, her eye appeared mysterious and enigmatic.

The next second, her pupils seemed to brighten, emitting a faint golden glow.

Crack... A crack appeared on the small iceberg.

Crack, crack... Countless tiny cracks kept appearing.

Finally, with a loud bang, the iceberg shattered into countless ice crystals.

The fire monster, frozen inside, shattered into many pieces.

The fire began to subside.

The scale is constantly shrinking.

However, after shrinking to a certain extent, the flames stopped shrinking.

"It's not dead yet!"

Fan Xiao spoke up to remind his teammates.

Meanwhile, the players who were fleeing also witnessed this scene.

The three players with ranged attack items stopped and aimed them at the fire monster that had already broken into pieces, launching an attack.

"A bloodthirsty operating room!"

"The arrogant silver-ringed snake!"

"Bury it on the spot!"

A large number of instruments, the kind of instruments usually found in operating rooms, flew toward the scattered fragments of the fire monster and began to pierce and cut them.

The fire monster's aura was growing weaker and weaker, as if it were being constantly stripped of its life force.

At that moment, a flying serpent with a silver ring on its head descended, spewing out a highly toxic mist that melted away most of the debris on the ground.

Then the ground began to writhe as if it were alive, swallowing up the remaining fragments.

The fire monster has completely disappeared.

The surrounding flames gradually died down and soon disappeared as well.

This scene brought a sigh of relief to all the players.

Fortunately, the monsters in this dungeon can be killed!

On the rooftop, Fan Xiao recalled Prince Rabbit and turned his gaze to the petite Nori.

The little girl's left pupil was emitting a golden glow, which was extremely beautiful.

I never expected that this eye would actually be useful!

He thought that the reason this chuunibyou girl was wearing an eye patch must be a manifestation of her illness.

Other behaviors associated with this condition include wrapping bandages around the arms, turning up the collar of clothes, and wearing capes... These are considered normal behaviors for someone with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

On the other side, noticing Fan Xiao's gaze, Nori straightened her chest and proudly said, "This is my Eye of Destruction, the manifestation of the concept of the end of all things at the end of time. What do you think?"

"I never imagined such a dangerous force existed in the world!" Fan Xiao exclaimed in praise. "Your Highness truly lives up to your name, being able to see destruction with your eyes. You are truly admirable."

“Count, your strength is not bad either.”

Nori's lips curled up, and she flattered him, "The Night Nobles are indeed the Night Nobles. They feed on blood and use blood as their power. They can actually play with blood in so many ways. They are truly worthy of being called vampires."

"Thank you very much, thank you very much."

"No need for modesty, I acknowledge your strength, Earl."

The two chatted back and forth, making the other three feel slightly awkward.

"cough……"

Gawain coughed and said, "Fire monster, shadow monster, we've encountered two dangers."

"According to the game's hints, there are three kinds of dangers tonight. The last one hasn't arrived yet, so we need to be vigilant. Now is not the time to relax."

"Your idea is a bit too optimistic."

Fan Xiao shook his head: "The game hints only mentioned three types of danger, but didn't specify the types. Monsters... could probably all be categorized as the same type of danger."

"The same one...are you sure?"

Gawain frowned and said, "If just two monsters are this difficult to deal with, who knows if there are any other monsters?"

"If this is only considered one kind of danger, what if we add a second and a third... wouldn't this dungeon be too dangerous?"

"Which instance isn't dangerous?" Fan Xiao shrugged. "Just deal with whatever comes your way, as long as you stay vigilant."

"Speaking of game hints."

The head maid interjected, "The second hint is 'Our identities will change over time.' In other words, we've been assigned identities in this instance. What do you think... those identities will be?"

Everyone looked thoughtful.

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "This is a very simple reasoning problem."

Meeting the gazes of his teammates, he said, "The background information of the dungeon mentions that due to the appearance of psionicists, the researchers of the Seventh Research Institute began to develop a strong research interest in psionics."

"Psionicists, psionic abilities, research... doesn't it easily remind people of human experimentation?"

"Every experiment will inevitably experience failures before achieving the final result."

"And in the current Seventh Research Institute, there are monsters that use strange abilities. Do you think these abilities are psionic?"

"By connecting these clues, we can arrive at an answer..."

After a pause, he concluded, "Whether it's a fire monster or a shadow monster, they are likely the product of failed experiments."

"You mean, the monsters were originally evolved beings, psionic beings?"

Gao Wen frowned and asked.

The heavy implications behind this conjecture made his face somewhat gloomy.

"Let's assume this guess is correct."

Fan Xiao continued, "In this way, the identities of those in this research institute can be simply divided into two types—researchers and those being researched."

"The subjects of the study turned into monsters in the failed experiments, and they are very likely to harbor resentment towards the researchers who brought about their tragic end."

"So, they are driven by hatred to attack researchers?"

The head maid chimed in, "We players were just entering the dungeon when monsters started chasing us and attacking us relentlessly... Are we researchers?"

Chapter 197 Is it too late for me to regret it now?

Just as Fan Xiao was about to answer the head maid's question, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Under the moonlight, his shadow swayed and wriggled, as if it had come to life.

Not only him, but also Nori and the others, their shadows all showed abnormalities again.

"The Shadow Monster is back!" Gawain became more alert: "This guy really isn't dead!"

"Close your eyes!"

The head guard took the initiative again, raising his right hand and opening his palm to let the light appear in his palm.

Then the light spot floated into the air, suddenly expanded, and transformed into a ball of light that continuously radiated strong light outward.

The wriggling shadows disappeared in the bright light.

Fan Xiao and the others had already covered their eyes a second earlier to avoid being directly pierced by the bright light.

Fan Xiao reminded the head guard, "Your light shone on us for two minutes and nine seconds before, successfully driving away the shadow monster. Since we don't know the exact time, let's use that standard for now."

"Okay. But there's something I need to remind you of."

The captain of the guards responded, "My talent has limitations. If we keep dragging this out, we definitely won't be able to deal with the Shadow Crisis indefinitely. We must find a way to completely eliminate this monster. Simply driving it away won't do any good."

“Physical attacks are ineffective against it,” Gawain said. “My talents and items are all geared towards physical attacks, so I don’t have any way to deal with it. Do you have any?”

"I do not have either."

Fan Xiao replied.

Of his props, only the Rabbit Prince currently possesses the ability to interfere with the mind beyond physical means.

If the Rabbit Prince is effective against the Flame Monster, then it must be effective against the Shadow Monster as well.

However, drawing aggro and attracting monsters can only buy time; it's not a permanent solution.

If you can't attack the other side, you still can't eradicate the problem.

Moreover, the Rabbit Prince's ability to draw aggro is indiscriminate, regardless of whether the enemy is friendly or not. Once he summons the rabbits, the aggro of Nori and the others will also be drawn to them.

If they attack together, Prince Rabbit might not be able to withstand the attack and could be damaged.

Therefore, the Rabbit Prince prop can only be used by him alone when he is away from the crowd.

The remaining physical attack methods...

Angels of Death!

Fan Xiao hesitated for a moment, then suppressed his urge to act and decided to give the opportunity to his teammate.

We haven't figured out the situation in the dungeon yet, so it's not the best time to summon the little angels to wreak havoc.

Although this shadowy monster is eerie, it is not very threatening.

One-sided invincibility—this level of monster will not appear in D-level dungeons.

So he wasn't very worried.

It'll be a good opportunity to see how good my teammates are.

"Knight, disperse the holy light! I will meet the enemy with the Eye of Destruction!"

Nori's slightly proud and endearing voice rang out.

The head guard obeyed the order and turned off the bright light.

The five opened their eyes; their high evolution rate enabled them to quickly adapt to their surroundings.

Looking down, the five of them discovered that the shadow monster had not been driven away.

The shadow under the moonlight was still wriggling.

This result did not surprise them, because the chief guard had maintained the light for less than a minute.

The long, slanted shadow slowly crawled, its head already off the ground, and its torso slowly "standing up".
