Chapter 841: Frozen Time
(To be revised later) That fleeing player was originally using a prop to move between floors, but unexpectedly stepped onto the 101. Unable to break through this type of metal prop from the game, and seeing Xu Huo beside him, he raised a crossbow and aimed at him!
The crossbow bolt fired wasn't a solid arrow but a semi-transparent ice that pierced the wall and quickly melted!
"The person I'm looking for isn't you," Xu Huo stated his position. But because of this brief delay, the pursuing player had already come down from upstairs. However, as soon as a pair of feet appeared, they were knocked away by a strange force, carving a deep trench in the ceiling before 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, go!" Yan Jiayu called for the stone lion to pounce, while taking out a muscular doll sticker and pressing it onto her face. Her speed instantly skyrocketed, making her like an uncatchable cannonball as she blasted toward the person by the wall!
That player clearly didn't take her reckless charging combat style seriously. Patting his shoulder, a blue light arc immediately spread open in front of him. With the light arc protecting him, he didn't even spare Yan Jiayu another glance, instead focusing on the stone lion trotting in circles from the side.
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 she had other invisible defensive props on her or not, but when she crashed into the light arc, she directly drove the player through the wall, and at the same time, cracks burst out on the light arc!
"What!" The other player couldn't hide his shock, then was pushed by the force to the outermost wall of the building, only to be bounced back by a barrier sealed on the wall surface.
Yan Jiayu, as the one receiving the force, wasn't as embarrassed as him. She landed steadily in the middle of the room, swung her Demon-Subduing Pestle, and charged in for a chaotic beating!
With a few "bang bang bang" sounds, cracks appeared on a shield prop. The player quickly dodged, using his trait to briefly slow Yan Jiayu's speed before rushing toward Xu Huo!
His real target was the government player who hadn't escaped yet, but just as he was halfway there, a cold light swept in from the side!
The pursuing player quickly sidestepped to dodge, and as he raised his hand, dozens of fine needles shot out from his sleeve.
The air barrier couldn't be used temporarily, so Xu Huo simply placed the 101 Shelter in front, then retracted it, while simultaneously using "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" during the attack.
That player immediately felt the prop effects being applied to him. Pressing on his sleeve, the clothes he wore stood up and closed like scales. After the color of his clothes changed once and returned to normal, no trace of fatigue could be seen on his face!
Yan Jiayu and the stone lion came to reinforce. The lazy Da Mao got a hit on its butt with a stick, instantly venting all its anger onto the pursuing player. Under its pouncing, biting, and tearing, this person was forced back step by step.
"Vase's effect!" The pursuing player threw a cushion on the ground. The rampaging Da Mao slipped and stepped on it, with one claw pinned to the floor.
But this wasn't much use. The stone lion, embodying violence, directly dug a hole through the floor. It didn't matter if it couldn't break free from the cushion—it could run with the floor slab.
Da Mao was hard to deal with, and Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were no less formidable. Yan Jiayu fought in close quarters, while Xu Huo used props to assist from the side and would occasionally launch a surprise attack. After three minutes of combat, both sides had suffered losses.
Looking up, Xu Huo walked up the stairs. When he reached the third floor, he sensed someone rapidly descending from the middle of the building. In a second, he cut into the office floor and propped the 101 Shelter directly below!

Xu Huo didn't even see where the killing player was, but the people in his field of vision exploded one after another like fireworks, and even the Advanced Players couldn't escape their fate!
"The Super Player from Zone 011 is here!" An Advanced Player recognized the opponent's killing move. "Their trait is related to time. We have no chance of winning. Let's go!"
That was what he said, but in an instant, several strange rays appeared in the sky above the city—these rays should have been hard to see, at least the few Advanced Players in the distance didn't react. Xu Huo, however, saw them very clearly, like a fold in the air, and one of them was heading straight for him.
But that kind of ray seemed to be fixed. He urgently dodged to the side, and when he looked at the spot the ray had passed through, the ground showed no particular change.
Two of the several Advanced Players in the distance left, while the remaining few were hit by the rays. There was no visible change on the surface, but two of them actually broke bones just from moving!
Afterward, the few people left Zone 011, and soon Base City returned to normal from its frozen state, but the vast city could no longer see any players.
Xu Huo tracked the rays in the sky and saw them moving toward other cities.
His gaze followed the rays for three seconds, then he withdrew his attention and prepared to leave, but he stopped after only two steps.
Someone was on the left.
Xu Huo turned his head and saw a vague shadow standing on top of a tall building a hundred meters away. The other party seemed to be staring at him.
He stood still, and a few seconds later, the shadow on the tall building disappeared.
Xu Huo let out a breath and turned to look at Bai Kou, who had appeared behind him. "Thanks a lot."
Bai Kou glanced at him. "You're pretty impressive too. You can actually see Time Rays. Do you have a Super Item?"
