Chapter 931: Above the Wilderness
The gloomy sky was lit up on one side. Under this blinding electric light, all players instinctively averted their eyes for a moment. However, as the sound of the vehicle collapsing rang out, the electric light gradually weakened.
For a moment, the scene fell silent.
This was clearly abnormal.
The premature countdown for the besieging players was abnormal, and the fact that not a single player had escaped from the vehicle after the counterattack was even more abnormal. Anyone who could travel through the wilderness was certainly no ordinary person. If they had the confidence to take on so many players, there was no reason they wouldn't have the ability to fight back.
"There seems to be something in the air." Pan Qiao suddenly sniffed, and the next second he covered his mouth and nose. "Don't breathe!"
The people in the vehicle immediately put on protective masks. Just as Shangguan Xi was about to go out and see what had happened, a human face suddenly pressed against the window. The ferocious expression, combined with the sudden impact, made him instinctively lean back. The next second, several car doors automatically opened. Except for Teacher Ai in the driver's seat, everyone else, including the living sample, was thrown out of the vehicle.
"Someone's here!" Zhu Feiyun warned the others while throwing out a colorful triangle. The triangle exploded in midair, and multicolored powder splattered in all directions, quickly outlining the shapes of two people.
"Life Flashback!" Pan Qiao retreated to Kuang Wenjun's side and pulled out a roll of film toward the two of them. The automatically spinning film reel flew around, wrapping the two players, who had only partially revealed their figures, inside.
However, it didn't trap them for long. After two breaths, the film split open from the middle. A long hammer with a small head on a long rod came crashing down toward Pan Qiao and Kuang Wenjun.
The hammer didn't fall quickly, but the two of them seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move. Pale-faced Kuang Wenjun threw a rapidly expanding white ball from behind. In the blink of an eye, the ball, now taller than a person, caught the descending hammer.
Kuang and Pan quickly moved away from under the prop, but when they turned around, they realized there was actually only one player left in front of them. The other had already gone over to Shangguan Xi and Zhu Feiyun.
Both of these people were wearing protective gear. Although the colored powder allowed them to see their movement trajectory, it couldn't reveal their faces. This limited the use of props and traits that required "hearing" or "sight." Shangguan Xi's "Morning Rush Hour" failed, and he couldn't hide his surprise. "Have they blocked their hearing?"
"Who cares if they have or not, just kill them!" Zhu Feiyun had already put on his clown costume. Moving around here wasn't as convenient as in the city, but he had no problem moving himself. He flew behind one of them and slashed at his back with a knife.
Unsurprisingly, it was blocked. The player, whose figure was visible but whose face was not, turned around and reached out toward him. Long needle props, presumably buried in the ground in advance, shot at him from all directions!
"Full Encasement!" Zhu Feiyun blocked the props with a glue ball, then raised his hand toward the opponent, pulling him into chaotic gravity.
Like Shangguan Xi and the others, these two attackers were also unaccustomed to the slight weightlessness. Their movements were a bit shaky, but it wasn't enough to turn them upside down. With them moving at high speed, Zhu Feiyun failed several times in a row.
"Light of the Blind Path!" At this moment, Pan Qiao seized the opportunity to move behind the two of them. When the three were in a straight line, he raised a guide stick.
As the prop effect activated, a several-dozen-meter-long strip of light appeared under the feet of the three. Those standing on this light strip couldn't leave, but those outside could enter!
"Good opportunity!" Zhu Feiyun casually threw out a few colored balls. With a "bang bang" of explosions, colored ribbons flew out, and everyone involuntarily looked up. He then suddenly sank downward, his long knife slashing at the neck of one of the players!
"Crack!" The long knife landed on an invisible defensive prop. But Zhu Feiyun seemed to have anticipated this opportunity. He reached toward the player's chest, and in his palm was a white magnet—the next second, a white three-edged spike pierced through the player's heart and stuck to the magnet!
Having successfully killed one, the others naturally turned their attention to the remaining one.
The effect of the blind path had already disappeared. The man raised his arm and wiped his body, and the colored powder on him immediately vanished, allowing him to successfully conceal himself again.
Almost as soon as he disappeared, Shangguan Xi and the others' props went after him, but they clearly missed.
Having instantly lost sight of the opponent, Zhu Feiyun threw several colored triangles, but they didn't work like last time.
Kuang Wenjun was carried back to the vehicle by Pan Qiao. After stopping, she placed a small toilet. "Retreat Three Steps."
A small collision seemed to occur not far away. Pan Qiao immediately locked onto the position and charged forward, slashing wildly at the air twelve times. After every slash missed, he returned to Kuang Wenjun with a grim face. "He's not around here."
Kuang Wenjun was about to nod, but she immediately sensed an unusual aura beside her. She pulled up her sleeve to reveal a hospital wristband. "Treatment Time, Do Not Disturb!"
The feeling of a knife at her back seemed to recede, but she quickly realized something was wrong. She turned her head sharply to look at Teacher Ai in the vehicle. "Be—"
Before she could finish speaking, a sword pierced through the front windshield and embedded itself in the seat next to Teacher Ai. Blood flowed from the air, and Xu Huo was already standing on the hood of the car. He glanced at Teacher Ai before reaching out to pull out the sword.
The invisible player fell into the seat.
The two players near their vehicle had already been dealt with. They weren't too strong, but they weren't weak either. Trying to fight two against four was a bit overconfident. They were just a prelude; the real main event wasn't here.
Those people's real target was the vehicle behind them. The sky over there was filled with abnormal snow, and there were occasional flashes of electric light and sounds of collision, indicating a fierce battle.
Sensing unusual movement on the ground, Xu Huo threw the corpse out and signaled Teacher Ai to drive.
Shangguan Xi and the others immediately returned to the vehicle. But by the time the car started, it was too late. The ground beneath the tires slowly rose, forming a huge slope.
"Buzz!" Teacher Ai gripped the steering wheel, letting the car slowly slide backward. Facing the increasingly steep slope, he urged Xu Huo and the others to find a way to secure the vehicle.
But just as Xu Huo and the others got out, the upward-sloping ground suddenly stopped and then began to sink toward the ground.
"The other side is rising!" Kuang Wenjun warned everyone.
The entire tilted slope seemed to split in half. One side was high, the other low. One side sank, the other rose. It was like a giant seesaw, shifting the people and objects on it from left to right.
The man with the lightning bolt pattern on his head slid over to Xu Huo's side with the shifting ground. He pressed his silver-gloved hands against the ground, and swift electric light shot upward. In the middle of this, another player took over, inserting a full-length standing mirror into the ground, while someone else threw an iron ball into the high clouds above!
"Crack!"
