……
Time passes gradually.
About four hours later, thick smoke began to billow from the chimneys of many houses.
In this backward town, the villagers still used firewood for cooking, giving Fan Xiao and his companions a strong sense of the times.
I don't know how the isolated town of Jiling can have electricity. It's completely illogical.
Once copies are involved, many rules become quite different from those in the outside world.
Mercury's face showed anxiety: "We've been outside for so long, and those monsters haven't attacked yet! It's getting dark, what should we do?"
"Based on yesterday's event schedule, we have at most two hours left to stay outside, so time is indeed very tight."
Fan Xiaochao looked around, feeling a little uneasy as well.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have a last resort plan that should be able to save Cao Shuai and the other two, so we don't need to worry too much for now."
"What final plan?" Mercury asked curiously.
"Don't have high expectations, the risk is too great, it's best not to use it if you can avoid it."
Fan Xiao didn't hide anything: "Let's wait another hour. If the monster still hasn't come by then, we'll do something drastic and use the remaining hour to slaughter all the ghost townspeople in the town, completely eradicating the danger at night."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Mercury, Lu Baizhi, and Song Qingshan all turned their attention to him, with expressions that said, "Are you kidding me?"
“This method is too reckless,” Song Qingshan frowned. “I don’t recommend doing it this way.”
Even he, a man of recklessness, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Are you sure this isn't suicide?" Mercury asked.
"I have my measure."
Fan Xiao said calmly.
It doesn't matter if they can't kill them all in an hour. They attacked the residents of Ghost Town during the day, and these ghostly things will definitely gather around them at night to retaliate.
At that time, he can use his talent to clear the field directly.
Those who slipped through the net were dealt with by Li Xian and Lu Baizhi working together.
Although the risks are high, it is indeed a feasible plan.
Of course, the casualty rate cannot be guaranteed.
After waiting for another half hour...
Boom——!
Suddenly, a huge commotion came from afar.
Fan Xiao and the other three simultaneously turned their gaze towards the sound and saw rising smoke and dust, indicating that a battle had taken place over there.
"Go over and have a look."
Fan Xiao immediately rushed over.
Mercury and his two companions followed closely behind.
After running for about fifty meters, they spotted Li Xian and his group of four running towards them from a distance, their silhouettes gradually becoming clearer in their field of vision.
"Get out of here! There are too many of them!"
Upon seeing Fan Xiao and the other three, Du Ruo, who was behind Li Xian, quickly shouted, "Let's take cover for a bit!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao and the other three looked behind them and saw a huge swarm of humanoid monsters chasing after them.
At a glance, there are at least four or five hundred of them.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed.
what happened?
This number is terrifying!
Did we stumble upon a monster's lair?
Even though they now have the status of "law enforcement officers" and can physically touch these monsters, the possibility of being torn apart alive in battle against this number of monsters is still very high.
Each of these monsters possesses the combat power of a C-level player; a swarm of them is no joke.
No wonder Li Xian and the other three ran away.
Instinctively, Mercury and his two companions wanted to retreat out of their instinct to avoid danger.
"Gardenia!"
Fan Xiao suddenly spoke up: "Flip a coin!"
As he spoke, he used the luck he had accumulated over nearly five hours to make a wish—to improve Lu Baizhi's accuracy in judging events by flipping a coin.
Fan Xiao's reprimand calmed Mercury and the other two down a bit.
*Snap*—Lu Baizhi tossed the coin and caught it with her other hand.
"Fake!"
She quickly replied.
"Create some distance first!" Fan Xiao reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Lu Baizhi and the other two quickly retreated after him.
Mercury reacted quickly, grabbing Song Qingshan and running together.
Of the four people present, he had the highest evolution rate. Since none of them could use items, he was naturally the fastest and had the spare capacity to help Song Qingshan, who was still an E-level player.
"These guys really know how to pick their timing!"
Mercury said as he ran, "They only appeared at this time, clearly knowing we were anxious and our judgment was slightly impaired. They figured we'd focus on their sheer numbers and ignore whether Old Du and the others were genuine. What if they retreated without suspecting anything... I wonder if that counts as being successfully tricked?"
"This is a complete deception process, so it should be considered one."
Song Qingshan frowned and said, "We can't possibly deal with this number head-on. Knowing it's fake is pointless. Should we go or not?"
"There's a house over there, Qingshan, go and hide there for a while."
Fan Xiao quickly pointed to a spot not far away.
Song Qingshan did not refute, but changed direction and ran towards the house.
As an E-level player, even if he activated his talent, he could only barely deal with one monster.
With so many monsters attacking together, he will definitely become a burden and affect his teammates' performance.
Therefore, he was very self-aware and chose to follow Fan Xiao's arrangements.
Meanwhile, Mercury quietly activated his talent, creating an iron wall to block the monster's path.
It turned out to be useless; the monsters' spiritual characteristics had not disappeared, and they all passed right through.
"Talent still can't reach them!"
Mercury quickly reminded him, "I estimate that we can only touch them physically now and capture them, but everything else is the same as before."
"Why would so many of these guys suddenly gather together and act together? This is so illogical!"
"Fan Xiao, what do we do now? Should we stop?"
Both he and Lu Baizhi looked at Fan Xiao.
They simply couldn't handle that number on their own.
Even though Lu Baizhi's B-level talent is very powerful, her evolution rate is not high and her mental strength is not strong. Even if she goes all out until her mental energy is exhausted, she can probably only kill a few dozen monsters. After that, she will be torn apart by the remaining hundreds.
"..."
Fan Xiao did not reply immediately.
The reason for the "Fraud Monster's" large-scale operation... may be related to him.
He had previously activated his superpower to accumulate luck, but was "favored" by bad luck.
Hundreds of monsters moving together is a very rare crisis situation in this dungeon.
Because he was having a run of bad luck, he happened to run into it...
"You really can't just rely on luck in dungeons. Compared to the real world, there are far too many dangerous factors in dungeons, and the area isn't very large. The chances of encountering danger are extremely high. If you're unlucky in a dungeon..."
Fan Xiao decided that he should stop courting death in the future.
After thinking for a few seconds, he made a decision: "I'll provide cover, you guys take the opportunity to capture them, capture a few more to keep as backup."
"OK!"
Mercury knew that Van Shaw was about to make a move, so he immediately took out his close-combat weapon from his storage space and prepared for battle.
Lu Baizhi also took out a short blade for close combat.
Although her evolution rate is still at D level and she can't beat the "deceitful monster" in close combat, with her talent, catching a few is still no problem.
The next second, Fan Xiao, who was running on the far left, stopped and turned to face the monster army.
A cute girl with black hair and red eyes appeared on his shoulder after a long absence.
Rank A Talent - Angel of Slaughter activated.
The little angel who had just appeared in the world showed a very angry expression and was pulling and tugging at Fan Xiao's hair, seemingly expressing strong dissatisfaction.
The little angel is very angry because he hasn't been summoned to play for so long!
"Qiqi, Goubuli."
"Fan Xiao, I'm talking about you."
The little angel started calling Fan Xiao a dog.
Of course, because she felt so sorry for Fan Xiao, she didn't use much force, only symbolically tugging at her master's hair.
Ignoring Fan Qiqi's outrageous behavior, Fan Xiao charged straight towards the monster army.
Before he could take more than a few steps, the little angel seemed to think he was too slow, so she grabbed him from behind and flew over in a flash.
As they drew near, *whoosh*—the blood-red giant scythe cleaved through the air, killing the dozen or so monsters charging at the forefront with a single swing.
But the remaining monsters showed no fear or reason, roaring as they charged forward one after another.
Taking the opportunity, Fan Xiao whispered, "Choose ten and cut off their hands and feet, then kill the rest."
"whee……"
Upon hearing this, Fan Qiqi, who was grumbling, suddenly revealed a wild smile.
She immediately became happy when she heard her master order her to kill someone.
Although the monster is not human, it looks similar and there is not much difference.
The little angel expanded and lengthened his scythe, then swung it around, instantly clearing a twenty-meter radius and eliminating all threats near Fan Xiao. This reversed the tide of battle, giving the angel control of the offensive.
Fan Xiao moved forward with her, getting closer to the remaining monsters.
The little angel sliced off the arms and legs of the ten closest monsters as easily as chopping vegetables.
The ten monsters lay on the ground, their bodies curled up like earthworms as they continued to approach Fan Xiao. But without hands and feet, they moved as slowly as turtles.
After the target was achieved, the little angel's laughter gradually rose and became higher and higher, giving Fan Xiao the feeling that madness was being released.
A second later, she cleared another twenty meters of space.
With his high-speed movement, Fan Xiao spent a few more seconds annihilating the remaining monsters.
A crisis was resolved as if it were a joke.
Behind them, Mercury and Lu Baizhi, who were holding short blades and preparing to rush into battle, paused, their expressions stiffening.
Is this called... covering for someone?
They're just there for show!
Meanwhile, Song Qingshan, who was running towards a house, also caught a glimpse of this scene.
He stopped, turned around, and ran back to help Fan Xiao deal with the ten "disabled monsters" lying on the ground.
Holding one in each hand, he lifted the two monsters, whose eyes were still fierce, and said to Fan Xiao, "We can touch them. It seems that their spiritual properties will only be dispelled after they touch our bodies."
