Chapter 513: Chapter 189: Start the Strategy

Wolf Smoke and Black Goat’s faces turned pale with fear, and they averted their gaze in the blink of an eye.

But it was too late; the Black Hawk in the sky had already spotted them.

They had been exposed!

Facing the sudden appearance of [Player Nameplates], their subconscious behavior betrayed them.

"Damn old bastard!"

Wolf Smoke’s face changed, ignoring the shocked gazes of the people around him as an ancient black battle flag suddenly appeared behind him. The flag waved without wind, as if the flagbearer was waving and shouting.

A series of effects were amplified on Wolf Smoke’s body.

This was his title skill, Bringer of the Brave Flag. It required a certain amount of energy to summon a battle flag.

Within a certain range of the flag, his speed and strength would be significantly increased.

At the same time, he would also gain a certain level of psychic defense ability.

Now, he wanted to activate his ability to grab a room card with all his might. Indeed, he already had a room card, but it was for the third-floor room. Now, the safest option was to enter the nearest floor.

Only hiding in a room could be considered safe. Exposing their identity was too dangerous; the opponent could simply use abnormalities to kill them.

He accelerated in an instant, rushing towards the cards that had fallen.

Whether it was intentional or not, out of the eleven cards, ten had fallen near the Hua Country people.

The card closest to him had already fallen into the hands of an older, handsome-looking young man.

The moment the young man got the card, he rushed towards a room not far away.

"Damn it!" Wolf Smoke felt a growing sense of danger as he realized someone was watching him. Someone had set their sights on him!

This made him not dare to switch targets, instead quickly rushing toward the older young man. He couldn’t hesitate any longer!

Unfortunately, the crowded people still slowed him down for a moment, and the older young man had already entered the room.

Even though he had increased his agility, Wolf Smoke couldn’t snatch the room card before the young man entered the room.

He could only follow quickly into the room, intending to snatch the card from the young man inside.

’Bang!’

As he entered, the room’s door closed.

Wolf Smoke’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t see the older young man, but instead... encountered a knight clad in black soul armor.

The knight held twin blades, slowly turning around, the white pheasant plume on his helmet swaying slightly.

"Of all the people who got cards, why did you choose me?" The knight responded, his voice processed to sound as strong and unyielding as steel.

He was... Earth Knight.

This was his second time teaming up with Li Changhe during this period. Li Changhe had grown from a clueless rookie to a champion-level player with astonishing combat power.

He had also leveled up from his original LV4 to LV9, the fearsome Tiger’s Might Slash – Earth Knight!

He had bad luck, encountering this mess while going out to buy groceries. His escape coin also betrayed him, leaving him pent-up with anger.

As a result, Wolf Smoke, of all people, chose to try to steal his card, infuriating Earth Knight even more!

"Wait, it’s a misunderstanding..." Wolf Smoke’s face turned ashen. He had never thought of snatching a room card from a [Player] before.

...

On the other side, Black Goat also took action quickly. His situation was much better than Wolf Smoke’s since he already had several first-floor room cards. At least he didn’t have to snatch them from others.

He understood that he had been exposed. In fact, in that situation, no one could control their subconscious reactions. The opponent had based their actions on this condition and found him.

He saw the chaos among the Hua Country people. It seemed that other [Players] had also been exposed.

But at this point, he no longer had any intention of meddling with them. It was already too late even for self-preservation, let alone harming others.

Fiercely rushing towards his room, he originally thought that if he wasn’t exposed, he would always be hidden from sight and not targeted.

But now, he was prepared to stay in his room until his supplies ran out.

Mad Kangaroo had exposed himself to kill those [Players] and was killed himself. And he was Mad Kangaroo’s accomplice...

As he rushed towards his room, a dazzling blood-red mark suddenly appeared over his head.

"Sure enough, the other party already knows how to hire Little Red Riding Hood mercenaries!"

Discovering that he was marked by the Abnormality, Black Goat’s heart tightened, and he rushed towards his room even more quickly.

Unfortunately, previously, along with Mad Kangaroo’s death,

everyone in the eleven rooms had been thrown out, not to mention those who were already outside. Some were fighting for room cards, while others were avoiding the marked Black Goat, making the area extremely congested.

This greatly reduced his speed.

Next, he smelled a strong scent of blood and saw the blood-red figure at the staircase entrance.

It was too late – Little Red Riding Hood’s mercenaries were already here!

"Wait, we can cooperate! Cancel the bounty first, you need my intelligence!"

Black Goat didn’t believe he could take on Little Red Riding Hood alone. She was a powerful existence who had killed several [Players].

Not to mention, there were other [Players] lurking in the shadows; resisting would be a death sentence.

He screamed in terror, "Uncle Eight-direction! Tell her to stop! If she does it here, there’ll be problems! You won’t be able to complete your task!"

He was referring to the crowd around him - considering Little Red Riding Hood’s usual style, she wouldn’t care whether the people around her were alive or not.

If there were too many deaths, it would trigger the monsters on the fifth floor. That would mean real trouble!

There was no response, but Little Red Riding Hood’s mercenary, who had already stepped out of the staircase, did indeed stop and disappeared into the stairwell a few seconds later.

Black Goat was sweating profusely; he had indeed been a ruthless character.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived until LV8 with his style.

But the current situation was truly desperate. Seeing Little Red Riding Hood leave,

he paid no heed to the people’s shocked gazes and moved towards the stairwell, his face pale.

He knew that if he ran for his room now, he might completely anger the other party. If that happened, not only Little Red Riding Hood would come to kill him.

In fact, even just Little Red Riding Hood alone was enough to push him into a corner.

Even if he hid in his room, as long as the other party didn’t cancel the bounty, he would eventually starve to death or be killed by Little Red Riding Hood upon leaving the room.

He was as good as dead. His only chance for survival now was to cooperate with the other party.

Regardless of whether the [Players] could complete the task, at least he could survive.

If the task couldn’t be completed, the [Players] would either have to use their coins to leave or become one of the inhabitants here.

If the task was completed, the worst-case scenario was that he would be a fugitive again, at least he would still have a chance to survive.

On the other side, Wolf Smoke, battered and bruised, also left his room.

As the room door closed, his flag’s amplification was cut off, and he was quickly knocked down and beaten up by Earth Knight.

Earth Knight, clad in armor, followed behind him and casually handed his room card to the police who were trying to maintain order.

Now, the Hua Country people had in their possession 11 room cards, which were enough to accommodate everyone.

The safety of the people was protected, and what was left was to conquer the instance!
