This is a monster dressed in a guide uniform.
In the Deceit Tower, it would create various distorted notes to trick players into purchasing substandard products. If tower climbers couldn’t discern the authenticity of the notes, it would be easy for them to accumulate a bunch of negative effects in just a few rounds.
But in the Slaughter Tower, its words would mislead intruders like Xun Hui, tempting them to try drinking or eating the items on the shelves.
However, Xun Hui’s willpower was strong, and he had staunch principles in everything he did. If things didn’t go according to his plans, even the old principal would be scolded harshly or even beaten up by him. Whether he could win or not was another matter.
The prowess of the 55th series of Slaughter - State of No Self began to manifest at this moment, showcasing its power as one of the top hundred series.
The monster in the guide uniform also entered its second stage at this moment. It started throwing items from the shelves, using them as projectiles, and began hurling pollutants one after another.
These items could, in a short time, inflict hundreds of negative statuses on the target.
But strangely, it seemed as though they passed through a void.
Xun Hui walked leisurely, facing those projectiles head-on, and calmly approached the monster. When the monster was cornered with nowhere to retreat, one of his hands finally touched the monster.
But his hand was also an illusion.
There was no collision at all, it just passed through the monster’s body.
At this moment, Xun Hui noticed some vines on the shelves not far away and frowned slightly.
But he didn’t have much time to think because the monster was trying to break free from him.
Xun Hui snorted coldly.
"Shatter."
As the word fell, the initially intangible body suddenly became substantial, and the hand that passed through the monster’s body turned into a hand piercing through the monster’s body.
The battle was over.
The Slaughter Value it occupied was 307. It turned out to be an elite type, not the leader type he thought it was. This made Xun Hui feel at a loss.
For five hundred monsters, if it were leader types, he would only need to kill five. An elite type was equivalent to ten normal types, and rare types were equivalent to five normal types.
A leader type, however, was equivalent to a hundred normal types.
Of course, this was just the experience. In terms of difficulty, no number of normal types could compare with a single leader type monster.
To kill a leader type was extremely difficult. Those bearing the name of slaughter had to make thorough preparations to deal with one.
But within seven days, Xun Hui still had some confidence.
However, he did not expect that this elite type just now gave him the illusion of being a leader type.
Xun Hui looked around, noticing nothing unusual. Extending his senses, he didn’t perceive any other monsters either.
He was sure it was safe here. All he needed to do next was to bring Wen Xishu and his group here, light the bonfire, and they could stay here while he went around slaying monsters.
This was Xun Hui’s plan.
But he was quite annoyed now that these few novices actually dared to kill monsters.
After leaving Zhonglefu Supermarket, Xun Hui approached Wen Xishu and others at a terrifying speed.
His figure was like a launched cannonball.
Wen Xishu and Xiaojin only felt a strong burst of air from afar. As they turned back, they saw a figure streak by like lightning.
"What were you all doing just now?"
Xun Hui asked coldly.
Xun Hui looked at Wen Xishu and found that the kill was made by Wen Xishu. But Wen Xishu showed no adverse reactions at all.
Heartbeat, breathing, gaze, everything was normal.
Xun Hui said:
"What kind of monster did you encounter just now?"
Yue Yun and Nissen began recounting their recent experiences.
As Xun Hui listened to their recount of Wen Xishu’s reaction to the monster, he frowned slightly.
How similar it was to Wen Chaohua...
To be honest, the female ghost who called names felt quite troublesome to Xun Hui, especially since the more fearful one was, the stronger the opponent’s mental attacks became.
Back then, when he and Wen Chaohua faced a similar situation, he kept thinking of things to encourage himself.
Like the old man’s face when mocking him for being too weak, or Patriarch Miyamoto’s frustrated look.
But Wen Chaohua just charged at the monster directly.
He had to admit, though, Wen Xishu handled it very reasonably. The monster wasn’t very strong but could easily cause a team wipe if not handled carefully.
Wen Xishu almost didn’t give the monster any chance to act. He had to retract his earlier statement; perhaps Wen Xishu was even braver than he was.
But there were still some doubts.
"The Slaughter Value of that monster was 125 points, not something you could handle, right? It’s your first time in the Slaughter Tower, with your Slaughter Value, killing it would be akin to suicide, yet you seem perfectly fine now."
Just one monster occupying over a hundred points shook the others’ hearts.
Wen Xishu said:
"Secrets, who doesn’t have some life-saving measures?"
Xun Hui asked:
"If I want to know that secret, what should I exchange for it?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Not feasible at the moment, nothing can exchange for this secret currently, but if it becomes feasible, I’d tell you without charge."
Xun Hui didn’t insist:
"Alright."
This was indeed crucial for Xun Hui. The Slaughter Value had a significant impact on him, and he always returned when his Slaughter Value hit the critical point.
This led to him being increasingly affected by the "Slaughter Tower’s curse." He had discussed this with the old man and the mirrored one not long ago.
The three had pondered why Wen Chaohua didn’t show such symptoms. He was clearly just as bloodthirsty but returned to the bunker without any changes.
Now it seemed the Wen brothers truly harbored some secret.
Perhaps Wen Xishu indeed carried some trait bestowed by Wen Chaohua.
"Let’s go, we’ll now light a bonfire in the supermarket." Xun Hui turned around.
Yue Yun exclaimed:
"Senior, you have... cleared the area already?"
In the time it took them to kill a small monster, the senior had cleared an entire area. They became even more reverent of Xun Hui’s strength.
Xun Hui said:
"Nothing to be surprised about. Once the bonfire is up, just stay around it. I’ll be searching for monsters and return periodically."
Wen Xishu asked bluntly:
"What if you don’t come back?"
Xun Hui didn’t mind at all:
"If I don’t return in three days, it means I’m gone. You’re on your own."
What a sharp self-reliance.
This line induced a greater sense of fear than the female ghost resting her head on one’s shoulder.
Fortunately, Xun Hui quickly added:
"Of course, the probability of that happening is zero."
Strong and unyielding, straightforward and resolute, that was Xun Hui.
Wen Xishu knew that, at this stage, he didn’t quite deserve such a powerful teammate. He needed to work harder in the Deceit Tower.
The group quickly entered the supermarket.
Xiaojin said:
"Wow, let me take care of lighting the bonfire!"
Wen Xishu was also excited about the bonfire being lit because it meant he could communicate with his "friends."
