Chapter 1560: The Honest Paper Servant Master
Xu Huo was worried that the new energy weapon might not be able to damage the ship's metal carapace, which was why he chose to attack from the inside. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising if a ship capable of traversing different dimensions and spaces could withstand an attack from a new energy weapon. He had already prepared to take the risk and try again, but he didn't expect Jin Feixue to have problems on his end. Now that the back of the ship had been penetrated, there was no way this vessel could leave Zone 017.
"Trying to leave?" Dou Shengnan's killing intent instantly reached its peak. Her spiritual realm surged back, and the black spiritual power nearly materialized, causing the entire space to solidify as it roiled!
"All Things Want to Cut Everything" could be used within the spiritual realm, but that didn't mean it wouldn't be affected by other items. Additionally, the intensity of Dou Shengnan's spiritual power directly impacted Xu Huo's combat state. Even without being hypnotized, resisting hypnosis was extremely mentally draining. So after the "Inviolable Domain" and the barrier formed by the spiritual materialization were broken once again, Xu Huo was left with only one last option.
Just then, Jin Feixue emerged from the ship. The wounds on his chest and abdomen were no different from before, and both his arms looked as if they had been blasted—bloody and stained, with even a bit of bone visible in some places. But in his hand, he held a head.
It was the head of that white-haired player!
Judging by the movements of one of the former members, Li Li, the Eerie Sound Knights had likely suspected the white-haired player was connected to Yu Guo's death. No one expected that someone who could hold his own against both Chang Bei and Li Li at the same time would now die at Jin Feixue's hands.
Jin Feixue appeared to have paid a tremendous price, but he was still standing, and his killing intent was overwhelming. Even from such a distance, Xu Huo could feel the pressure.
The next second, a giant long spear materialized above the ship. Though it mimicked the appearance of an old-fashioned weapon, it didn't require manual control. Jin Feixue merely raised his finger slightly, and the spear swiftly rotated, aiming in Xu Huo's direction. However, it wasn't coming for him—the muzzle tilted slightly upward...
A series of shots struck the unstable protective barrier released by the ship. The immense impact caused violent tremors, and after several surges of light arcs, the barrier completely dissipated, exposing those behind it to everyone's view.
A paper airplane slowly descended from above, passing over Xu Huo's head, flying in front of him, gliding more than ten meters, then turning back. It passed by Xu Huo again and returned to its owner's hand.
Dou Shengnan had already closed her spiritual realm the moment Jin Feixue appeared. She must have sensed the arrival of the super player in advance. Now she had retreated from Xu Huo's side and taken a protective stance to Jin Feixue's right.
The Paper Servant Master was directly behind Xu Huo, no more than fifty meters away. But he wasn't the only super player who had come to Yuecheng—Lawrence Li and the Box Carrier were clearly nearby. The three of them had been fighting until now, and their clothes weren't even slightly disheveled, forming a stark contrast with Jin Feixue's group.
However, in this clash between super players and A-rank players, Xu Huo, a C-rank player, was clearly superfluous. No one even glanced at him, as if he were just a tiny speck of dust drifting through the air.
The Paper Servant Master was very honest—before making a move, he sent Xu Huo on his way.
His vision blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, Xu Huo found himself standing inside a sealed underground structure. Around him, a crowd of people was either standing or sitting, packed tightly together. They were probably ordinary people who had come in to take shelter. Seeing him suddenly appear, they all scrambled to retreat in every direction. Though the space wasn't small, there were too many people to move easily. A young man bravely shouted, "There are no players here, and no super items! Go find them somewhere else!"
Xu Huo only glanced at him once. Before he could speak, he felt a warmth in his nasal cavity.
"He's bleeding from the nose... Is he injured?" someone in the crowd whispered, but was quickly silenced by the person next to them covering their mouth.
Using spiritual power at high intensity while also suffering from spiritual attacks—it wasn't surprising to be injured, and the aftereffects were quite strong.
After inspecting the sizable underground structure and confirming there were no high-level players nearby, Xu Huo endured the dizziness and sat down on the spot. "I'll rest for a while and then leave."
Regardless of what others thought, he wiped the blood off his face, replenished himself with several potions, then handed over the item containing ordinary people to Bai Kou, while simultaneously retrieving the one he had given earlier.
He then checked the messages from the Special Defense Department. The first was a relatively complete treatment video. The King Fungus bacterial fluid was indeed effective—the infected person showed visible improvement within ten minutes of injection. Whether it could completely cure them remained to be seen, but the video was meant to keep him informed of the treatment progress and confirm his safety.
The Special Defense Department players who had entered Yuecheng with him had reported their encounter with the Eerie Sound Knights to their superiors as soon as they returned to Zone 014. This was followed by over a dozen messages from the Special Defense Department confirming whether he was still alive.
After a brief reply, Xu Huo took out some paper and began using his trait, "Complete Script."
"Complete Script" was an extended trait that appeared under "Insider's Perspective." It could automatically describe everything he had experienced. Though it unfolded from his perspective, it could make up for details he had overlooked or completely failed to notice. Before leaving Zone 017, he needed to confirm he hadn't been tracked.
"...Xu Huo did not notice that the girl named Jin Zi carried the same aura as Li Chun. The difference was that Jin Zi was a real person..."
"...Xu Huo also did not notice that the experimental personnel who planted the tracking chip had used an automatic positioning item on him. Whether in Zone 017 or at the E27 wormhole point, they could track him in real-time..."
"The Box Carrier handled this problem well and unexpectedly did Xu Huo a small favor... Xu Huo didn't realize that the Box Carrier had instinctively noticed him first. If not for the presence of another sucker nearby, no one knows what would have happened..."
"...Among the deceased experimental personnel's belongings, that pointed object that looked like ore was actually an instrument containing spatial power... With the knowledge Xu Huo currently possesses, he should be able to recognize it. The fact that it was the only item with simple camouflage among all the belongings was enough to indicate its importance..."
...
"...The Shadow Person stole a black cube from Dou Shengnan and placed a very, very small something into her spiritual realm... No one has noticed this yet... Though they share a symbiotic relationship, the Shadow Person harbors some malice toward Xu Huo. Xu Huo noticed but took no measures..."
"...Dou Shengnan and Jin Feixue both used traits on him in succession, but he was completely unaware..."
"...After the Paper Servant Master appeared, the trait effects on Xu Huo mysteriously vanished again—except for a small piece of paper that quietly flew into his collar..."
