Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger Chapter 44
In the surveillance screen, the Ghost Child shook its head and wobbled its body, as if it had tasted the most exquisite delicacy, then opened its small mouth again. Its chubby little arms spread wide, seemingly thinking this would help its mouth open even larger. Its appearance actually carried a bit of silly cuteness and adorableness.
However, for the Vengeful Spirits, this black child-like entity held not a single trace of cuteness.
"Don't come any closer!" one Vengeful Spirit screamed, then instantly transformed into smoke and was sucked into the Ghost Child's mouth.
"Help!" a female Vengeful Spirit shouted, rushing toward Dorm 200 while crying out: "Cao Yaxuan, it's me, Xiao Li! I'm not dead yet!"
The next second, her body also turned into black smoke and was swallowed whole by the Ghost Child.
"Hahaha~" The Ghost Child was overjoyed, its small body actually standing up straight, facing the fierce ghost army, and taking a deep, forceful breath.
Instantly, more than half of the fierce ghosts transformed into streams of black smoke, continuously flowing into the Ghost Child's mouth.
[Guardian Spirit "Ghost Child" killed...]
Meanwhile, Xu Lang listened to the constant ding-ding-ding system notification sounds in his ears, feeling his ears going somewhat numb.
No one had expected the Ghost Child to be this powerful.
The Devour Ghosts skill seemed to be specifically designed to counter these ghost-type monsters - a truly divine technique!
"Xu Lang, those ghosts seem to be trying to escape!" Tong Qi suddenly pointed at the Vengeful Spirits on the surveillance screen and said urgently.
On the leaderboard, Xu Lang's points firmly held first place.
And how important points were, was something everyone knew.
...
[2 Thunderbolt: First-floor players be careful, the leading ghost is very strong, but pay attention - being surrounded by Vengeful Spirits at your door is the most terrifying situation. First-floor players who see others being surrounded can come out and use ranged attacks to break the encirclement]
[1 Jin Xin: @Thunderbolt, Floor Leader save me, I'm surrounded!]
[2 Thunderbolt: Useless!]
[49 Li Shuwen: Dorm 40 and Dorm 60, report your ghost information]
[164 Liu Lei: Damn! The dorm owner was about to open the door, luckily I grabbed and held him back. Everyone watch out for the Vengeful Spirits' mind control!]
[174 Zhou Daxiong: Brothers, quickly check the points leaderboard]
[32 Ye Fan: Holy shit, this is insane! Over two hundred points within two minutes of the game starting? Oh, it's Brother Lang, never mind then!]
[88: @Xu Lang, Brother Lang what's going on with you, did you take some kind of performance enhancer?!]
Other people weren't very familiar with Xu Lang, but those who had experienced the previous round of the game knew Xu Lang all too well.
Discovering Xu Lang ranked first on the leaderboard, a group immediately started making noise, and even Wu Huihui sent a private message asking about it.
But Xu Lang had no time to reply.
Watching the Vengeful Spirits retreat into the hallway, he sighed: "The Ghost Child has another skill, Ward Home & Repel Evil. These ghost creatures are all too afraid of the Ghost Child."
The Ghost Child's attack range was limited. Watching the cowering group of Vengeful Spirits refusing to advance, it stamped its feet in anger.
"It's okay, Xu Lang... Hey, ghosts are coming from over there!" Cao Yaxuan was halfway through comforting him when she suddenly changed her tone, speaking with excitement.
From the right-side corridor, batches of swarming Vengeful Spirits came pouring in.
Many of them were shot dead along the way by crossbow bolts, allowing other dorm owners on the same floor to pick up some easy points.
But more Vengeful Spirits had already appeared on the surveillance screen, seemingly endless in number.
The Ghost Child also noticed this, its angry expression immediately turning joyful as it opened its mouth and inhaled fiercely.
[Guardian Spirit "Ghost Child" killed...]
Xu Lang's mouth corners lifted high, finally unable to hold back his laughter.
Worth it!
Everything was worth it!
That risky venture out to get the airdrop care package back then was absolutely worth it!
Making enemies with other players?
That cost was nothing!
The Vengeful Spirits in the corridor were lined up in long queues, making it somewhat difficult for them to retreat immediately, forcing them to brace themselves and charge forward.
Meanwhile, from the left-side hallway, a male ghost wielding a long sword suddenly charged out, letting out a fierce roar as it led the other ghosts in attacking Dorm 200.
[Liu Quan]
[Type: Evil Spirit]
[Level: 3]
[Skills: Swallow Three Points of Water, Water-calling Sword Technique, Evil Spirit Screech]
Liu Quan was one level higher than Zhou Tao, and his type was Evil Spirit.
The three women, Cao Yaxuan and the others, also saw Liu Quan's information, their faces tightening with concern.
At this moment, the Ghost Child had already cleared a large area on the right side. Turning its head and discovering Liu Quan and the other ghosts had reached its feet, it flew into a rage.
When others avoided it, it got extremely angry; when others weren't afraid of it, it also got angry!
Ghost creatures by nature were already moody and unpredictable.
And in the Ghost Child's description, there was one phrase: "Extreme Malice"!
Liu Quan had already reached the Ghost Child's feet. The latter glared with its eyes, making Liu Quan feel his spiritual body was about to fall apart. His sword wavered, unexpectedly not striking at the Ghost Child - his great enemy - but instead stabbing toward the door.
[Steel Door Durability -5]
Xu Lang had already adjusted the surveillance screen to show the entrance area for convenient viewing, while he himself stood behind the door. Seeing the Steel Door's durability decrease, he calmly picked up a piece of steel material nearby and chose to repair it.
Outside the door, the Ghost Child opened its small mouth. Liu Quan lasted about ten seconds before still transforming into black smoke.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Vengeful Spirits had already surrounded the door, their sharp claws scratching against the Steel Door with grating, crunching sounds.
Xu Lang's stored steel materials were rapidly consumed.
To reduce the pressure, Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan also activated the automatic attack mode of the Bronze Repeating Crossbow.
Several seconds later, the Ghost Child, now with free hands, sucked away all the surrounding Vengeful Spirits.
Xu Lang breathed a sigh of relief and checked his personal points, astonished to discover his points had already broken one thousand!
Just that Level 3 Evil Spirit Liu Quan alone had provided him with five hundred points!
"Xu Lang, those Vengeful Spirits don't seem to be coming over anymore." Wang Yazhi, who had been mostly observing throughout, watched the numerous Vengeful Spirits fearfully refusing to advance and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Xu Lang nodded, then suddenly pushed the door open.
Instantly, those Vengeful Spirits went crazy, roaring as they charged over.
After showing himself for half a second, Xu Lang closed the door.
Watching the Vengeful Spirits being devoured by the Ghost Child on the surveillance screen, he silently praised the tactic.
Blood Grudge players, so effective!
Cao Yaxuan and the others were completely stunned, then became overjoyed.
"Xu Lang, this method of yours is really great!" Cao Yaxuan applauded, feeling that those charging monster spirits were actually cute.
"Brother Lang is just amazing, haha." Tong Qi was beside herself with joy.
Wang Yazhi also smiled.
This round of the Dorm Survival Game didn't seem that difficult after all.
Twenty minutes later, all the Vengeful Spirits on the tenth floor had been completely cleared out.
Xu Lang's points held a cliff-like lead!
[Points Leaderboard——]
[Xu Lang: 3411]
[Thunderbolt: 849]
[Xu Ruyan: 589]
[...]
On the first floor, Thunderbolt was so angry his nose was crooked.
He had always been known for his brave character, daring to fight and strive, and was determined to take the top spot on this points leaderboard. Yet he ended up being completely crushed by a one-cycle player!
Shouldn't these Blood Grudge players be the first to die?!
