Yu Hanjiang's blind shot caught the Hunter team, who were lying in ambush, completely off guard.
An aged voice rang out, "He can see us."
The girl's voice said, "Everyone be careful, let's attack together."
Perhaps spurred by the sudden killing of their companion, the remaining Hunters no longer wanted to play games with Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang. The four of them surrounded them at the same time, and Xiao Lou clearly felt a strong sense of oppression from the surroundings.
Just then, he suddenly summoned the Historical Figure Summon.
Skill 1: Drinking Wine. Historical Figure Summon asks everyone within a 500-meter radius to drink, regardless of friend or foe. Everyone enters a drunken state, which lasts for 10 minutes.
Since the Historical Figure Summon's intoxication is a powerful crowd control effect that affects both allies and enemies, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang will also be affected. However, the advantage is that all the Hunters are also intoxicated by the Historical Figure Summon, and since the enemy numbers far outnumber ours, it's not a loss at all.
The four Hunters were immediately dizzy and disoriented. They couldn't even walk properly, let alone attack Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang. They were all staggering and confused, and some even felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. They couldn't tell which way was which.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were also feeling uneasy, but Xiao Lou knew this was the best way to deal with Hunter. Let everyone get drunk for 10 minutes; at least during those 10 minutes, he and Yu Hanjiang would be safe.
He had never touched a drop of alcohol since childhood, but today he was forced to drink a glass by Historical Figure Summon. His head was throbbing as if it were about to explode, and he could barely stand. Yu Hanjiang reached out to support him, silently asking in his mind, "You've never been drunk before?"
Xiao Lou mumbled incoherently, "Yeah, I feel a little unwell."
Yu Hanjiang has a high alcohol tolerance and has been drunk many times before. Therefore, apart from dizziness and blurred vision, he can easily tolerate other adverse reactions when drunk. He dazedly helped Xiao Lou sit down next to him and patiently waited for 10 minutes to pass.
The drink delivered by Historical Figure Summon was extremely potent; everyone in the alley suffered from splitting headaches and barely endured the 10-minute intoxication period.
Just as his drunken state ended and his mind cleared, Xiao Lou suddenly said, "There are two people to my side; 200 meters ahead, to the east, there are two more people."
Yu Hanjiang understood and used Lightness Skill to leap up again.
Although he had just recovered from being drunk and was still a little dizzy, Yu Hanjiang's marksmanship was almost a conditioned reflex. Following Xiao Lou's instructions, Yu Hanjiang quickly loaded the bullet and pulled the trigger crisply.
The sound of bullets piercing flesh, accompanied by the screams of adult women, echoed in the quiet alley.
The woman was caught off guard, but this time she wasn't killed; there was no sound of a body falling, indicating she was only wounded. Yu Hanjiang pressed his advantage, firing several more bullets in a direction due east, causing several Hunters to quickly dodge.
One of them teleported behind Xiao Lou like lightning, his sharp dagger aimed directly at Xiao Lou's throat.
Xiao Lou felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and the icy air sent chills down his spine. He instinctively tried to dodge, but since he had no professional training in martial arts, his movements were a second too slow.
The opponent attacked with extreme ferocity. Although Xiao Lou dodged a fatal blow, a long gash was slashed across his collarbone.
The strong smell of blood and the wound on Xiao Lou's neck instantly enraged Yu Hanjiang. He immediately stopped his pursuit, turned around and kicked the man hard, but the man nimbly dodged the kick. At the same time, he threw a large number of darts.
Yu Hanjiang was quick-witted and immediately grabbed Xiao Lou. The Lightness Skill flew up, narrowly dodging the dart.
Immediately afterward, a girl holding a red oil-paper umbrella suddenly appeared around them. She was like a ghost, and a dozen identical girls simultaneously opened their umbrellas, making it impossible to tell which was the real girl and which were her clones. The umbrella ribs were made of extremely sharp metal, capable of cutting through iron like mud. She and the man wielding the dagger worked together to completely surround Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou.
Yu Hanjiang quickly dodged while holding Xiao Lou.
At the same time, the aged hand on the wall and the woman's endlessly growing hair also surrounded us from all directions.
Yu Hanjiang had one arm around Xiao Lou With his Lightness Skill flying, he wielded a military knife in his other hand, swiftly deflecting the long hair, paper umbrellas, darts, and hands coming from all around. Xiao Lou was injured, and Yu Hanjiang, fighting four opponents at once, was gradually running out of energy.
Xiao Lou's neck was still bleeding. He quickly took out the white silk card, tore off a piece of white cloth, and wrapped it around his neck to stop the bleeding. Then, he used Telepathic Connection to tell Yu Hanjiang, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. We can only get out by killing that paper umbrella girl. Put me down. I have a way to protect myself."
Yu Hanjiang nodded with a serious face, "Okay."
There are twelve paper umbrella girls in total. Last time, Yu Hanjiang used language to probe and find out their true identities. But after that lesson, the girls are unlikely to make the same mistake again, and Yu Hanjiang will not use the same method again.
Twelve, appearance
It's like copying; the actions are all the same. Which one is the original?
While Xiao Lou was pondering this question, Yu Hanjiang said, "I have a way to find out the real person."
After Yu Hanjiang finished speaking, he placed Xiao Lou on the ground.
Xiao Lou had been using Compass to draw circles, and as soon as Yu Hanjiang put him down, he immediately put the Ring generated by Compass on himself.
Since all the Rings are the same size, and Xiao Lou can control the Rings to float in the air, almost instantly, his entire body was surrounded by a dense array of Rings. It looked like he had "woven a cocoon around himself" and trapped himself, but in reality, the Rings were like the hardest armor to him.
Neither hair nor darts could penetrate his metal ring.
Yu Hanjiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Lou had trapped himself with a ring. Xiao Lou's mind always worked quickly in crucial moments; he even came up with this kind of "self-protection" method.
With no worries about the rear, Yu Hanjiang pushed off the ground with both legs, and his whole body shot out like an arrow.
His military knife flashed towards the girl like lightning, the blade clashing against the umbrella ribs with a clanging sound that was particularly jarring in the quiet alley. However, the beautiful red oil-paper umbrella remained unharmed after the strike, and Yu Hanjiang was instead surrounded by twelve girls.
Yu Hanjiang already knew that the umbrella wouldn't be easily broken, and his goal wasn't to kill the opponent directly with a knife; he was merely using it to test the opponent's reaction. Because, no matter how a person splits into two, multitasking is difficult enough, let alone multitasking. Therefore, the split entity's reaction certainly wouldn't be as fast as the original; it was simply replicating the original's actions.
In particular, the subconscious self-preservation response of a person in a critical moment is something that a split organism certainly cannot do.
He narrowed his eyes and swiftly swung his knife at the surrounding girls. The girls dodged and attacked with their umbrellas. Suddenly, Yu Hanjiang keenly noticed that one of the girls, as he swung his knife at her, reflexively opened her umbrella and hid herself under it, completely dodging Yu Hanjiang's attack. Her agility was far superior to that of the other eleven split versions.
You're the one.
Yu Hanjiang had already made up his mind, but on the surface he was still attacking the other girls like a "headless fly".
Because Xiao Lou used a metal ring to create a "cocoon" around himself, making it difficult to break through, the other three Hunters came to help, hoping to take down Yu Hanjiang first.
Yu Hanjiang was outnumbered and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. He was almost hit in the neck by a dart, and a bunch of hair on the ground got tangled around his feet. Yu Hanjiang dodged in a bit of a mess, quickly took out his knife and cut off the hair under his feet, and took a few steps back.
He retreated to the vicinity of the girl in red, with his back to her.
The girl was overjoyed, realizing she had a golden opportunity. She immediately closed her oil-paper umbrella, which would then transform into a sharp spear with a point strong enough to pierce even the hardest stone wall.
The girl gripped the umbrella handle tightly and suddenly stabbed Yu Hanjiang in the back.
She thought Yu Hanjiang would be killed instantly, but just as her hand reached out, before the tip of the umbrella even touched Yu Hanjiang's body, Yu Hanjiang suddenly turned around.
The girl was slightly taken aback when she met his cold gaze.
In that instant, a small black pistol was aimed precisely at her heart.
Bang
Gunshots rang out, the girl's hand froze in mid-air, and a large pool of blood burst from her chest.
She looked down in disbelief at her blood-stained clothes, and then, to the astonishment of the other Hunters, she collapsed to the ground.
The domain is automatically terminated upon the death of its owner.
The familiar moonlight appeared in the sky. Xiao Lou, who was inside the metal ring "cocoon", heard Yu Hanjiang's voice in his mind: "It's over, get out of here quickly."
Xiao Lou immediately pressed "1" on the earphone.
This was the secret code agreed upon with Qu Wanyue. Xiao Lou would say the number 1, and Qu Wanyue would immediately activate the teleportation.
Because their colors blended into the floor, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue secretly escaped to the most remote corner of the town. In addition, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang attracted the Hunter's attention too much, so the Long and Qu couple were not followed by the Hunter.
Qu Wanyue had already set up markers and was just waiting for Xiao Lou's message.
Upon hearing "1", she immediately activated the team marker teleport.
The next second, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang appeared before them, both bearing injuries. Qu Wanyue asked worriedly, " Professor Xiao, Captain Yu, are you alright?"
Yu Hanjiang's hand was black and rotten, but it appeared to be under control.
Xiao Lou had a white bandage wrapped around his neck, and blood was faintly visible seeping out. Yu Hanjiang felt a pang of heartache and reached out to re-bandage him, but Xiao Lou gave him a reassuring look and said, "It's just a superficial wound, it's nothing. Besides, I'm a doctor, and I'm very professional at stopping bleeding and bandaging."
Yu Hanjiang had no choice but to give up.
Xiao Lou whispered, "I returned it in the alley."
The moment the red-clad girl was killed and the domain dissipated, Qu Wanyue immediately used teleportation, making it impossible for Hunter to catch up, no matter how fast he was. Xiao Lou's method was indeed ingenious; even though they were outnumbered, they could use flexible team teleportation to evade Hunter's pursuit.
Long Sen asked, "What do we do next? Should we kite Hunter, then have Xiao Liu find the marker and teleport again?"
Two Li Qingzhao cards can be carried by two people and transferred separately, which is why Xiao Lou splits into teams.
Xiao Lou pressed his earpiece and asked, "Xiao Liu, how's the situation on your end?"
Liu Qiao's voice carried a hint of tension, "They're catching up. There's a man with a kite that can carry his teammates and fly very high. Me and Lao..."
Mo kept using Lightness Skill to dodge them high in the air; Old Mo's marble floor tiles were almost used up.
Xiao Lou said, "The other side still has four people."
Liu Qiao nodded. "Yes."
The sharp pain in his neck made Xiao Lou frown slightly. He adjusted the white cloth wrapped around his neck and said in a low voice, "Put the marker down and pull us over. The Hunter had the advantage before, but now, we have the advantage."
At the start, it was 6 against 12, a double numerical advantage. But now Yu Hanjiang has taken out 5 Hunters, and near the lake, Liu Qiao and Lao Mo are being chased by 4 Hunters. If they teleport now, wouldn't it instantly turn from 2v4 to 6v4?
Long Sen slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Wow, Professor Xiao, do you often play games like this, teleporting around to kite monsters? You actually turned a 100% numerical disadvantage into a 6v4 advantage!"
Qu Wanyue also said, "Now it seems that Hunter is the one who suffered a loss."
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that everyone cooperates well enough; otherwise, the teams will only fail even faster.
Xiao Lou nodded and said, "These Hunters, after dying in Secret Room World, will likely have another chance, just like us. Let's hurry."
The moon rises above the treetops, and the night is cool as water.
In the Ghost City maze, the Hunters were either killed or injured, and Xiao Lou's split-team teleportation strategy successfully turned the "outnumbered" situation into a "outnumbered" one.
