Three minutes earlier, at the other end of the tunnel.
Xiao Tan stood in the middle of the tracks with his eyes glowing like a torch.
He did not do anything substantial, but the system did not deem it as AFK-like.
Wang Tanzhi and Long Aomin could be considered the first batch of players from Thriller Paradise. They knew very well that since the map generated by the system was a tunnel that could not be exited, the train would definitely come.
At that moment, Xiao Tan was betting on this train. If he wanted to kill it in one shot, he had to borrow the power of this giant thing that could travel at two hundred kilometers per hour.
Furthermore, the train had to move from his end to Long Aomin's. If it was the other way around, his plan would not work.
It had to be said that Xiao Tan was indeed lucky. If it was Brother Jue, things would have been different.
In any case, following the rumbling, the train finally arrived, and there was no problem with its direction.
Xiao Tan faced the approaching front of the car and roared to give himself some courage.
The train was moving very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was only twenty meters away. Xiao Tan calculated the time. He raised his right arm, palm facing forward, and used Binding Teeth.
Instantly, the shadow of a beast leaped out from Xiao Tan's palm. There was a roar in the air, and the shadow of the beast enlarged in a second. A giant mouth filled with sharp teeth snapped at the train like it was going to swallow it whole.
Even though the fangs did not have a physical form, when they bit into the train, they still caused the train to slow down.
At that moment, the train slowed down like it had run into a thick layer of glue. In the next four to five seconds, the train experienced a short process of going from fast to slow, and then from slow to fast again.
On Xiao Tan's side, when Binding Teeth left his hand, he had already turned around and used Mark of the Winged Hornless Bear to run up the wall.
In the few seconds when the train slowed down, he used his maximum speed to run along the wall in the same direction as the train, maintaining a lead of about three meters.
Then, before the train picked up speed again, he jumped to the front of the train. This action caused him to lose thirty-nine percent of his Life Points, but from the result, it was worth it.
The front end of this kind of old-fashioned train had a triangular, convex edge, and the cylindrical top edge of the front was easy to grip. Therefore, Xiao Tan used a consumable skill and almost half of his Life Points to successfully cling to the front of the train.
"Phew … That scared the hell out of me …" After doing that, Xiao Tan still had lingering fear in his heart. Even though he had come up with every step of the plan, when he actually put it into action, his Terror Points still continued to rise. Especially when he jumped out, his heart almost stopped.
"It's a train after all … Binding Teeth's immobilization effect is indeed greatly reduced …" Xiao Tan thought to himself.
Actually, before he jumped onto the train, he had already considered the various possibilities after he used the skill. For example, if Binding Teeth was completely useless, then the next thing he would do after running to the wall would be to stick to the wall and not run along it. Or if the train was immobilized, that would be the best case scenario, and he would be able to sit on the front of the train. Or if the train was immobilized by the skill and flipped over, it would slide down due to inertia. Then, the wall would be no longer safe, and he would have no choice but to run as fast as he could.
Thankfully, the actual result was that the skill created a buffer effect. Even though the difficulty of getting on the train was still high, at least it was a close call.
…
In the conference room, Laughing Soul's heart had also squeezed. Seeing that Xiao Tan was fine, she sighed in relief. "That was too reckless … I thought he was going to commit suicide."
"I think I know what he was going to do," Passing Rain said.
"It is indeed a very risky strategy," Feng Bujue agreed. "But from another perspective, it can be said to be very clever."
"I can see that as well. He was going to use the impact of the train to activate Shadow Soul Pursuit, right?" Laughing Soul said. "But there were too many variables involved. What if the train came from the other side of the tunnel? Also, what if the train moved faster than expected? What if the front of the train was flat? What if Binding Teeth was useless? "
"There was nothing he could do." Feng Bujue said. "This was originally a gamble. He had placed the victory of this competition on this." He used an admiring tone to say, "If any part of the plan went wrong, he would fail, and every part of the plan could go wrong. To succeed, one needs to have a very strong reaction and … luck. " Speaking of luck, Brother Jue could not help but be reminded of the unspeakable story between himself and the Magical Disintegrator. He paused with melancholy in his eyes and continued, "It is undeniable that these two are part of a person's ability. The fact that Xiao Tan came up with this idea and took the risk to try it … means that he is worthy of this victory. "
…
Back in time, inside the tunnel.
Long Aomin looked at Xiao Tan, who was leaning against the front of the train, holding the stiletto in his hand, and despair rose in his heart.
"If I stick to the wall, I will definitely be attacked … He only needs to reach out and use the momentum of the train to slash at me." In these few seconds, many thoughts flashed across Brother Long's mind. "If I jump up … I am wearing heavy armor, so I am not that good at jumping. Even if I can knock my head on the ceiling and curl up … he only needs to raise the stiletto and use the momentum of the train to slash at my crotch …" His eyes moved quickly to the train tracks. "Lie flat in the middle of the tracks … let the train pass over me … then he only needs to lower his weapon to the height of the train and use the momentum of the train to … Ah!"
Long Aomin realized that his various scenarios were not optimistic. At that moment, he was reminded of a famous quote from Mr. Kizaru — speed is power.
Xiao Tan, who was on the front of the train, naturally saw Brother Long. Perhaps it was out of habit, but when a living creature appeared in his sight, his first reaction was to silently use his finger to carve a large cross on the front of the train and use 'Draw a Cross to Curse You'.
A bad feeling rose in his heart, but Brother Long did not mind it. If he opened the game menu, he should be able to see the special status of 'Curse'.
It took a long time to describe it, but it really did happen in the blink of an eye …
In the end, Long Aomin's solution was to activate his title skill, Berserker's Shield.
The name of the skill was the same as the name of the title itself. It was a transformation skill, but its effect and side effect were not as scary as Descent of the War Demon.
Under the effect of the Berserker's Shield, Long Aomin could reduce all damage by thirty percent and double his maximum Life Points. This skill could only be used once in each scenario. It consumed seven hundred Stamina Points and twenty percent of his maximum Stamina Points, and it lasted for three minutes. In other words, after activating this skill, before the scenario ended, Brother Long's maximum Stamina Points would drop from 3,700 to 2,960, and it would only recover when he returned to the log-in lobby.
Of course, he did not care that much. To prevent himself from being one-shot, he had to activate all the skills that he could. Other than the title skill, Brother Long also used his other main defensive skill, Ice Shell. It covered the round shield in his hand with a layer of frost.
He leaned against the wall and placed the shield before him, preparing to face the attack.
Looking at Xiao Tan … he was also betting everything on this. The curse had been cursed, and Shadow Soul Chase had been activated. This skill's power changed according to one's movement speed and impact. At that moment, Brother Long was possessed by Train Man. Combined with the ten percent bonus from the first hit, only the system knew what kind of result it would cause.
It could be said that the two of them had done everything they could.
Victory … would be decided in this one hit.
