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

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao said to Guan Yao, "Let's lure the other players over here too, it'll be safer."

"To be on the safe side... Even you agree with the suggestion of sharing the risk, so it seems there really is danger over there in the classroom."

Guan Yao sighed softly, "I reckon it's going to be a fierce battle."

"What's on your mind?" Mercury asked Van Shaw.

"It's all speculation. Let's go and see for ourselves," Fan Xiao reminded them. "Be prepared for battle."

Unsure of the dungeon boss's abilities, he didn't dare to be careless and teleported to the classroom alone to gather information.

Even the little angel isn't invincible; he can't handle unseen enemies.

Moreover, the little angel is a life-saving trump card. Under normal circumstances, you should avoid summoning it if possible, and keep it as a backup plan.

When there are other ways to solve the problem, it's obvious which one to choose.

"There is a problem."

Mercury cautioned, "There are great risks in bringing others here. For example... what if someone else gets the second half of the diary? Wouldn't we have done all this for them?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao grinned.

He took the diary from Luo Hao, tossed it to Mercury, and said, "Try putting it into a player's storage space."

"Could it be..."

Mercury looked thoughtful and took the diary to try it out.

Soon, a game notification appeared—

This item is exclusive to this instance and cannot be stored.

"it is as expected!"

Mercury was relieved: "The diary is an item exclusive to the dungeon, so it doesn't matter if the second half of the diary is stolen. We can always take it back. It's just a matter of strength."

"I don't think even if there were a dedicated space to store the props, it wouldn't be able to hold this diary."

Fan Xiao said, "When a player is killed, only one item will drop; the rest will be recycled by the game."

"In other words, using a storage item to hold this diary also carries the risk of loss, which violates the rules for exclusive items in the instance."

"So don't worry, no matter who gets the items first, they won't be lost. Whoever is stronger will have the last laugh."

"There's probably no need to worry about that specifically, right?"

Guan Yao reminded her, "Do you know how expensive space storage items are? Any item related to spacetime is of a very high level."

"If it's about storing items... the volume needs to be a bit larger, and the price will be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of game coins."

"Do you think a D-rank player would have something like this?"

“That’s true,” Fan Xiao said with a smile. “I was overthinking it. Let’s go.”

After saying that, he took half of the diary from Mercury and led the way out of the locker area.

Mercury and the others quickly followed.

The five of them went through the connecting corridor to another building. Just like when they went to the locker area, no monsters appeared along the way.

This incredible luck made everyone suspicious.

Mercury lowered his voice and speculated, "It seems that teaming up is the safest way. Now that the monsters have intelligence, they know how to weigh the pros and cons. If the five of us act together, we can gang up on any monster we encounter and beat them up. Not many monsters will dare to jump in front of us."

"Take it easy, there are pros and cons to teaming up."

Fan Xiao cautioned, "You'd better pray nothing goes wrong, otherwise... we'll be in danger."

"How so?" Guan Yao asked.

Others also turned their attention to it.

Fan Xiao replied, "You can think of it this way: once the monsters' intelligence kicks in, they also develop 'selfish desires'..."

After school, going out in groups is indeed the safest option.

Because the monsters have become more intelligent, a single monster will abandon the idea of ​​directly attacking them if it sees that there are many of them.

In other words, whether it's before or after school, going out in groups is the safest option.

However, there is a difference between the two.

That is, once the monsters in Green Mountain Prison become intelligent, they tend to kill players themselves rather than share with other monsters.

They have "selfish desires".

They want to "eat it all by themselves".

They are only likely to act in groups when their personal desires cannot be fulfilled.

in other words……

Teaming up after school usually doesn't lead to any major crises.

However, once a crisis occurs, it will definitely be a major crisis!

You will face multiple groups of monsters.

"If you say so..."

Mercury said thoughtfully, "When he and I first entered Green Mountain Prison, we weren't transferred together."

He pointed at Luo Hao and continued, "While I was searching for him, I called his name, and he did the same, calling my name."

"Then, I encountered the monster that the cannibal player had turned into. At first, I encountered it alone."

"Not long after we fought that monster, it came to my side. We fought the monster together for a while, and then we chose to avoid its attack."

"After that, the man-eating monster that had been relentlessly chasing me stopped catching up. I was quite surprised by this at first, but it turns out its intelligence suddenly kicked in at that moment..."

He recalled it briefly and realized that it was indeed the case.

After that, he and Luo Hao were ambushed by four monsters at once, after they bumped into the three foreign players. There were five players present at the time.

Fan Xiao's guess... is very likely correct.

The monsters in Qingshan Prison are selective in their treatment of people!

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Sometimes, what you fear most is what happens.

Before Mercury could compose himself, the wall of a classroom next to the five of them suddenly and silently shattered.

Perhaps because she had already been attacked by a monster once and was constantly on edge, Guan Yao activated her defensive item, "Amber," the moment she noticed the anomaly!

The pale yellow protective shield suddenly opened, and the shattered and impacting fragments of the wall were deflected by the shield and scattered, without falling on the people.

The next second, the figures of two black monsters emerged from the large hole in the broken wall and appeared in everyone's sight.

"Men...hehe...men...hehe..."

"Why...why...why..."

Two extremely distorted, piercing sounds, almost like screams, rang out.

The sound came from two monsters that suddenly appeared.

The explosion of the wall made no sound, but the screams of the monsters were clearly heard by everyone.

The two voices each carried a unique interference.

Soon, all five people inside the pale yellow protective shield were affected by the monster's abilities.

Consciousness began to blur, and a fierce "mating urge" began to erode the brain.

His physical and mental strength continued to decline, and his physical condition became increasingly worse.

"This is... the monster that Guan Yao and I killed in the beginning has been restored."

Fan Xiao quickly assessed the situation based on the familiar attack methods.

Like the buildings, the monsters in Green Mountain Prison can automatically repair themselves; he had discovered this before.

I just didn't expect it to be fixed so quickly.

Moreover, new monsters have arrived.

Why, why... I reckon this new monster must have been an extremely jealous person in his previous life, unable to bear seeing others more outstanding than himself. So, the targets he targets will see their abilities decline continuously... until they eventually die.

"On one hand, there's mental interference, and on the other hand, both physical and mental strength are declining. This combination of attacks is really troublesome."

Fan Xiao carefully examined the two monsters.

Just as he guessed, it was the slender monster he had encountered and killed not long ago.

The other one is quite similar in size to a normal human, except that its cheeks are distorted and somewhat bizarre, and its eyeballs protrude and are covered with hideous blood vessels, making them appear blood red.

Guan Yao's defensive items are geared towards physical defense, but they can't stop the two monsters' attacks, which are almost like forced interference.

In an instant, apart from Fan Xiao, the consciousness of Guan Yao and the others began to blur amidst the shouts of the thin monster, and their hearts were gradually dominated by the "mating urge".

Meanwhile, as physical and mental strength continued to decline under the attack of another red-eyed monster, this process of being dominated by desire accelerated.

"The Lost Country".

Fan Xiao murmured.

In the next instant, his spirit radiated outwards through the prop, recreating the territory of the Lost Kingdom.

The two screaming monsters suddenly forgot their purpose and what abilities they possessed.

They both stopped attacking, stood there stunned, and were lost in thought.

Mercury and the others regained their senses the next second, their consciousness returning to normal.

Boom! The pale yellow protective shield trembled violently.

The third monster appeared—it crawled forward on all fours, its enormous, exaggerated mouth lunging toward the protective shield.

The pale yellow light from the protective shield kept flowing into its mouth, causing it to grow larger and larger. At the same time, the light on the protective shield slowly dimmed.

This appears to be a monster with the ability to devour, and there are still some small pieces of clothing hanging on its body.

"It's that man-eating monster!"

Mercury quickly warned everyone, "It's the monster that the cannibalistic player who disappeared in the villa in the surface world has turned into! Be careful, it can devour other things to amplify its power."

"Three monsters attacked... no, more than three!"

Guan Yao also reminded everyone, "Conservatively speaking, there are five monsters!"

She recognized the slender monster that kept making "man...hehe" noises; it was one of the three monsters that had died at her and Fan Xiao's hands before.

Now that it has been restored, the "talkative monster" that can only control sound, as well as the tall, dark monster that appears as an inverted triangle, must have also been restored and have come to ambush them.

The fact that the wall cracked without making a sound, and that they didn't hear any monster approaching, further supports this conclusion.

*Snap*—Fan Xiao snapped his fingers.

Like the other two monsters, the man-eating monster stopped attacking and stood there stunned.

Without his orders, Mercury and his men seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Guan Yao immediately removed the protective shield to avoid affecting her teammates' attacks.

At the same time, a makeup tool called "Heart Creates Beauty" appeared in her hand. With a wave of her hand, she applied beautiful makeup to the man-eating monster's big face.

The man-eating monster was already affected by Fan Xiao's "Lost Kingdom" and had not yet recovered. Now, it was interfered with by the mental attack item again and was directly controlled, remaining motionless in place.

Whoosh—a thin screen of light suddenly flashed by.

Tu Shang, who was behind Guan Yao, launched an attack.

He wielded a massive battle axe and cleaved forward, creating a light screen that seemed to have no thickness. The light screen spread rapidly forward like sword energy or blade energy.

Tear—The man-eating monster was hit by the light screen, and its body was instantly split into two neat halves.

At the same time, a large amount of writhing flesh fell from Luo Hao's body and crawled forward, surging towards the slender monster and the red-eyed monster like a stream of water.

The two monsters had now recovered from the interference of the "Lost Kingdom's" oblivion.

After being crawled and devoured by wriggling bloodworms, they began to scream and struggle.

Upon seeing this, Mercury immediately tried to turn the air into steel to restrain their struggles.

Suddenly, the floor began to shake.
