Chapter 443 Quick Push
Even a fool could guess that, given the animosity between the two guilds, 'Breaking Waves' would absolutely want to monopolize one of the escape pods.
Even if they brought along random players who were drawn in by the chaos, they wouldn't pick up any of Xiaoyue's companions.
Even Tao Cheng, who was close to 'Xiaoyue', was killed with a single blow.
And with the gloating introduction of busybodies,
Tao Cheng learned that the vicious scarred man from the Fourth Heavenly Ladder, 'Xiong Chi,' was also among them! Everything went black before his eyes!
According to inside information from 'Xiaoyue', 'Xiong Chi' is suspected of possessing a tool that allows him to replenish himself through killing.
By the time he reached the third tier, he already had a record of slaughtering six level 1 dungeons!
Some people criticized him for being too cruel, while others mocked him for being a bully who only dared to shout and kill in level one dungeons.
But the undeniable fact is that when Xiong Chi goes into a dungeon, no creature he can kill escapes! Not only are all the monsters wiped out, but even the players who accompany him will be targeted if they show any weakness.
Among the competitors for the lifeboats are ruthless fourth-tier players.
On the other hand, Xiaoyue's side consists entirely of players from the third tier of the Heavenly Ladder, including Zhou Longmao, a promising young immortal from the second tier.
Even if you tried to fight them head-on, you couldn't win. Not only would you not be able to secure a place, but you might also lose your life.
Fortunately, this is a critical moment for escaping, and no one knows when the monster will react.
Therefore, the correct approach is to send the escape pod into the water as soon as possible, and then drive it a kilometer away to trigger the escape prompt.
Xiong Chi stepped forward from the crowd, standing in front of Xiaoyue and the others:
"The monster hasn't come yet. There are also escape pods on the other side of the ship. If you act quickly, you might have a chance to survive."
"That's utter nonsense! The same trick can't possibly be used twice by a level 3 dungeon monster!"
There's no need to guess! Tao Cheng knows that the rooms on the other side of the ship must also be metal escape pods.
To move it, we'll have to blow up the ship again.
But the monsters just suffered a huge loss here, so they'll definitely be on guard. The player might just plant a bomb and be found the next minute.
Time continued to pass, and the commotion gradually grew as curious monster passengers approached from the vicinity.
Time is running out for players.
The "Breaking Waves" guild worked together and quickly completed the cleanup of the last section of the road. As for pushing the huge, iron-like escape pods into the water, it was a piece of cake for Xiong Chi.
He acted as if he were pushing a bicycle with ease, and even gave the middle finger in a provocative manner towards the hiding place of Tao Cheng, Zhou Longmao, and others.
"Just as rumored, Xiaoyue's people are all cowardly cowards! They didn't even dare to come up and snatch it, hahaha!"
Xiaoyue's face was flushed with anger, and she almost ran out several times! But her companions pulled her back each time.
"Let me go! I'm determined to prove them wrong!"
"Calm down! We can't win! We might even get seriously injured! Getting seriously injured in a dungeon is extremely dangerous!"
"Yes! Hu Jin, calm down! Think about Team Leader Gan Ran! Maybe Xiong Chi is deliberately provoking us to make us make mistakes! That way he can achieve his goal without lifting a finger!"
...
Hu Jin angrily returned to their hideout and, for the first time, lost his temper with Zhou Longmao: "Are we just supposed to watch them escape?!"
"What if... what if they become the only surviving player in the instance and deliberately spread false information?! That would kill even more people!"
...
In just a few words, most of the ten people present were persuaded: "Damn it! Let's go for it!"
"I have a pack of disposable 'gecko gloves,' we can sneak up on the boat! It's dangerous, but as long as one of us can get out…"
"Great! I can cover for the people who are rocking the boat!"
"I can too!"
...
Even Zhou Longmao was persuaded: "Alright! We'd rather die than not send one of them away!"
Everyone agreed, except for Tao Cheng, who covered his face in pain, creating a world.
"Woof!"
"Hey! Dog Master, slow down! Hey, hey! Grandpa Teng, roll gently too!"
A groan that ruined the atmosphere shattered the players' newly reached peak fighting spirit.
The inkstone trailed behind it with sparks, and a vine was wrapped around its body, with a round, humanoid creature pulling at the end of the vine.
The groan that ruined the atmosphere came from the humanoid creature's mouth.
Standing close by, and relying on their experience in dungeons, they could clearly tell that the humanoid creature was definitely a monster!
It's a monster with low intelligence!
The inkstone leaped nimbly through the ruins before finally coming to a steady stop in front of Zhou Longmao and the other players.
The 'white rice' it was pulling behind it rushed out rapidly due to inertia, crashed heavily against the wall, and was then pulled back by the vines.
"Phew...Finally...Finally arrived."
'White Rice' scrambled to his feet, but still couldn't resist giving Zhou Longmao and the others a critical look.
'Hmph! These scumbags dare to be Master Mo Cheng's subordinates?'
It wasn't that 'Bai Mi' was looking down on people, but rather that Zhou Longmao and his companions were genuinely dressed in shabby clothes, their uniforms clearly belonging to menial workers were so dirty they were unbearable to look at.
It's hard to imagine that such an outfit could be associated with Master Mo Cheng, or that Master Mo Cheng's dog could carry a baby on its back and give it orders.
The sudden appearance of the monster disrupted everyone's rhythm!
Xiong Chi stopped his sarcastic remarks and, with all his might, threw the escape pod to the very edge of the ship in one go!
Most of the cabin was exposed, teetering on the verge of collapse.
With just a little more force, it will sink into the sea!
One of the players responsible for lookout in the "Breaking Waves" team was nervously observing the next move of the suddenly arriving monster.
Be constantly wary of it intervening to hinder the players' pushing actions.
Of course, the main thing to watch out for is the obviously stronger Inkstone, rather than the seemingly insignificant 'White Rice' that's just there to make up the numbers.
As soon as the ink line makes any unusual movement, he will immediately send a signal and go up to stop it!
Strangely, Mo Dou and the newly arrived 'White Rice,' which seemed to be a monster, just looked at them with strange eyes, without showing any intention of stopping them.
There was even... a hint of urging?
What are they urging them to do? Are they urging them to leave faster?
"You! Push the boat from behind."
Xiong Chi pointed to the player who had been on lookout duty and gave the order.
In the blink of an eye, everyone from 'Breaking Waves' was safely seated inside the escape pods, leaving only the players who had been keeping watch outside.
Looking at it this way, he is indeed the most suitable person to push the boat.
And that player thought so too.
The people inside the cabin were anxious to leave this inescapable floating prison, urging each other in a chaotic manner:
"Hurry up! Why are you still spacing out like a newbie?"
"Exactly! Would we just abandon you like cannon fodder? I'll definitely pull you up!" said the person standing at the edge of the cabin.
The remaining players breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone, hold on tight! I'm about to start pushing!"
