Chapter 108: First Kill at Slaughter Tower and Chat Channel_3
Facing the monsters in these areas, Xun Hui was confident of a hundred percent win rate, but winning didn't mean crushing them.
Every time he killed a monster, he had to rely on his astounding self-healing ability to rest for a bit before fighting again.
Currently, Xun Hui had discovered two types of actively aggressive monsters.
The monsters wandering the city streets mostly didn't possess super-heightened senses to detect players. Only when players got close could they capture them.
But there were also those with strong sensing abilities that actively hunted players.
Xun Hui had encountered one, a doll. Once you made eye contact, your body would become stiff, starting to turn plastic.
And the doll itself... would slowly become flesh and blood, lively and realistic.
If you can't kill the doll during this process, then you would become a doll.
Initially, Xun Hui thought it was some rare elite type... but he discovered it wasn't. This doll was likely a method used by a sovereign-level entity.
Because he encountered these dolls not just in one area. Even in cities separated by half an ocean, dolls would appear.
Xun Hui asked Albert, and the old principal said: Either some sovereign-level entity was expanding its influence, or... Slaughter Tower updated some new wandering monsters.
Slaughter Tower is divided into common, rare, elite, leader, and sovereign levels based on evolution.
But there was another classification method — wandering type and territorial type.
Territorial types have their fixed territories, likely corresponding to some special scene in the Deceit Tower.
Wandering types are different. The bats just now were wandering types.
So Xun Hui reminded Wen Xishu and others to be very careful and not provoke these monsters.
As for the other one, the monster that calls people by name... Xun Hui had encountered it three times. The monster itself was very weak, not at the level it should be.
But if you were careless and responded to the monster, it would become extraordinarily powerful. Of course, Xun Hui had killed the monster three times.
He felt that, like the dolls, it was likely a new type of wandering monster.
Xun Hui's figure quickly disappeared into the supermarket, and he soon engaged in a life-and-death battle with the leader-level monster in the supermarket.
At this moment, Wen Xishu and others stood in the apocalyptic city, feeling the cold wind, with fear and cold seeping into their bones.
"We... don't seem to be learning anything, do we? I mean, don't you guys really think this time is too risky?"
Nissen, for once, was the most cautious among the group.
This was the moment to see the normalcy level ranking of the dorm.
Yue Yun said:
"Opportunities like this are too rare. I'm also scared, I know I might not be able to contribute anything to this task... but I won't give up this opportunity. Wenxun, Xiaojin, Nissen, this is our opportunity."
Xiaojin said:
"I'm actually fine. If I could follow him into that supermarket, it would be great. After all, I'm still too weak."
Wen Xishu said:
"I heard someone calling my name... should I turn around?"
Everyone was stunned.
At this moment, they did hear it, a woman's voice, the kind that makes your spine tingle, somewhat sharp.
"Wenxun, who am I?"
All four froze.
Just as they feared, the streets of the Slaughter Tower were indeed fraught with danger.
"We... are we really that unlucky? The monsters here... I feel like their minimum Slaughter Value is starting at three hundred." Nissen dared not turn around, though the monster was calling out Wenxun.
Yue Yun said:
"Yes, if we kill a monster... our Slaughter Value cap might exceed the limit, and we'll turn into monsters ourselves."
Xiaojin said:
"Maybe... should I give it a try?"
Nissen:
"Jin, don't be reckless! If you start fighting and can't win, we won't be able to escape."
All four of them stood facing one direction, the woman calling Wenxun's name right behind them.
It was inching closer.
Thirty meters.
"Wenxun, who am I?" The voice was still a bit far. If Nissen and the others didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't hear it.
But it was about to change.
Fifteen meters.
"Wenxun, who am I?"
This time, the voice was noticeably clearer, and Yue Yun's composed demeanor was starting to falter.
Xiaojin also felt a chill down his back and his scalp tingling.
"Wenxun, who am I?"
Seven and a half meters.
Nissen clenched his fists. If they couldn't come up with a solution, he might have to fight the monster. Using his life to cover for his three dormmates' escape.
Yue Yun said:
"I've seen a story written by a writer from the lower levels. It said there's a monster in the Slaughter Tower... with no facial features, a pale face, long hair, like a ghost. They have no identity.
"Once they appear, they'll ask who you think she is. If you give her an identity... she'll kill you, and then become the persona you assigned to her."
Wen Xishu said:
"Is it true?"
At this moment, only Wen Xishu found the entire process quite interesting, considering how this monster, if in the Deceit Tower, could be handled.
He wasn't afraid at all.
Because it was simple, as Xun Hui had said, don't look back. Since that was the case, then just don't look back, at most it's very scary, but as long as you don't look back, the other party couldn't do anything to you.
But this constant pressing sense of oppression was indeed scary.
"Wenxun, who am I?"
Distance, 3.5 meters.
"Wenxun, who am I?"
Distance, 1.75 meters.
Getting closer and closer. Xiaojin and Nissen both felt the chilling sensation from behind.
"Wenxun, who am I?"
