CHAPTER 1373: CHAPTER 1374

(Wait a moment to modify) The fleeing player was originally moving between floors using props, but unexpectedly stepped onto Shelter 101. This type of metallic prop from the game couldn’t be broken through, and he saw Xu Huo beside him, holding a crossbow arrow aiming at him!

The crossbow arrow didn’t shoot out a solid arrow, but a kind of semi-transparent ice that pierced the wall and quickly melted!

"I’m not looking for you," Xu Huo stated his position, but due to this brief delay, the chasing player had already come down from the floor above, but as soon as a pair of feet appeared, they were knocked aside by a strange force, with a deep groove opening in the ceiling, only stopping at the wall.

The next second, two people and a Stone Lion landed on the same floor as Xu Huo and the others.

"Da Mao, attack!" Yan Jiayu called for the Stone Lion to pounce on people, while taking out a muscle doll sticker and slapping it on her own face, instantly boosting her speed like a rocket, blasting towards the person by the wall!

The player clearly didn’t take her reckless combat style to heart. A slap on the shoulder, his front immediately unfolded a blue light arc. With the light arc protecting him, he didn’t even glance at Yan Jiayu, instead focusing on the Stone Lion running in circles nearby.

However, just as he was about to free his hands to deal with the Stone Lion, Yan Jiayu, this living bomb, slammed into him—whether or not she had some other unseen defense prop on her, when she hit the light arc, she directly drove the player through the wall, and the light arc also burst with cracks!

"What!" The opponent couldn’t hide his astonishment, then was thrust to the outermost wall of the building from the momentum, and was bounced back by a barrier sealed on the wall surface.

As the one bearing the force, Yan Jiayu, however, wasn’t as embarrassed as him, calmly landing in the middle of the room, waving the Demon-Subduing Pestle and starting a chaotic fight!

With several "bang bang bang" sounds, a Shield Prop was cracked, and the player quickly dodged, using his characteristics to temporarily restrict Yan Jiayu’s speed and then rushed towards Xu Huo’s side!

His real target was the government player who hadn’t escaped yet, but before even reaching halfway, a cold light swept in from the side!

The pursuing player hurriedly dodged sideways, and as he raised his hand, dozens of Cowhair Needles shot out from his sleeve.

The Air Barrier couldn’t be used temporarily, so Xu Huo straightforwardly placed and retrieved Shelter 101 in front, using "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" simultaneously during the attack.

The player immediately felt the props’ effects on him, and pressed his cuff, making his clothes stand like scales and then closing again. As the color of his clothes changed once, returning to normal, the fatigue on his face disappeared!

Yan Jiayu and the Stone Lion joined in, and the lazy Da Mao took a hit on his butt, immediately unleashing all its fury on the chasing player, attacking and tearing, forcing him to retreat step by step.

"The effect of the vase!" The chasing player threw a cushion on the ground, and the fumbling Da Mao’s foot slipped on it, one paw pinned to the ground.

However, this didn’t help much. The violent Stone Lion directly dug a hole in the ground, and without getting rid of the cushion, it could carry the floor slab away.

Da Mao was difficult to handle, and Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were also not idly standing by. Yan Jiayu engaged in close combat, and Xu Huo occasionally darted forward to attack while supporting with props. After three minutes of fighting, both sides had injuries.

Looking up, Xu Huo moved upstairs via the staircase, sensing someone rapidly descending from the middle of the building. As he reached the third floor, he used Shelter 101 underfoot!

The fleeing player was originally moving between floors using props, but unexpectedly stepped onto Shelter 101. This type of metallic prop from the game couldn’t be broken through, and he saw Xu Huo beside him, holding a crossbow arrow aiming at him!

The crossbow arrow didn’t shoot out a solid arrow, but a kind of semi-transparent ice that pierced the wall and quickly melted!

"I’m not looking for you," Xu Huo stated his position, but due to this brief delay, the chasing player had already come down from the floor above, but as soon as a pair of feet appeared, they were knocked aside by a strange force, with a deep groove opening in the ceiling, only stopping at the wall.

The next second, two people and a Stone Lion landed on the same floor as Xu Huo and the others.

"Not necessarily," Zhou Donghe hesitated and said, "I think those waiters might be more dangerous at night, isn’t there a lot of people in the kitchen? They might come out at night, and since it’s a restaurant, not a hotel, not having room service at night is quite normal."

Xu Huo nodded, "You have a point, the first challenge we face is certainly other players."

After all, they had to compete for rooms, and this was also the only information mentioned by the waiters besides voting.

The clock on the restaurant wall ticked to a full eight o’clock, and with the lights off, everyone was plunged into deep blackness—this wasn’t an ordinary night, even players with Night Vision could barely see their surroundings, only relying on their ears to listen.

In an instant, the entire restaurant became silent enough to hear a pin drop, amidst the intentionally suppressed breathing, a sudden "clap" sound like a switch being flipped echoed, and the next second, lights flickered on in two corners of the restaurant.

The dim wall lamps were not enough to illuminate the restaurant, but they provided enough light for the players, and the restaurant that looked splendid during the day now exuded an eerie chill at night. The arranged chairs, the chandelier overhead, the instruments in the corner, the bar in the middle, wherever there were overlapping shadows, it seemed shrouded in a grayish mist, making it hard to see clearly.

And the floor near the lights was slightly clearer, enough to see that the beautiful clean carpet from the daytime had been stained with various stains, the dark stains were indistinguishable, not to mention covered in thick dust.

But none of these mattered, two corridors appeared where the wall lamps lit up, and although the darkness a few meters away couldn’t reveal if there were rooms, these were the only two paths!

In an instant, all players surged toward the narrow corridors. In such a situation, even props found it difficult to forge a path, but then the restaurant began to change again. The corridors gradually widened, and new wall lamps appeared ahead of the initial ones, unveiling new paths and new spaces.

The first two corridors weren’t connected, but standing at the restaurant’s position, one could judge both sides’ situations through Spiritual Power and Spatial Power. These were two branching paths, each leading further into another fork, and after branching again, they were no longer mere corridors but entirely new spaces.
