At the same time, on the other side of the city …
Hong Hu and the Shadow King, who were engaged in battle, naturally felt the sound wave that swept past them.
"What's going on?" Hong Hu flicked the bow in his hand, and a rain of light arrows shot out. He used the momentum to jump back out of the battle circle.
The Shadow King, who stood behind the golem, tilted his head and asked, "Are you referring to that sound wave?" He replied in a noncommittal tone, "It's not a big deal. Maybe it's an ultimate skill that other players used during a fight."
"No …" Hong Hu pushed his glasses up. "I mean … why did the commentary stop?"
"Hmm?" The Shadow King was startled. "Yes." He scratched his chin. "But … this has nothing to do with the competition between us, right? Didn't you complain about the white noise earlier?"
"My personal opinion on this setting is not that important." Hong Hu explained calmly. "Based on my observation, in this scenario, as long as there is a player involved in a fight, there will be commentary." He paused. "Considering the fact that this Tournament for the Best is a free-for-all, it will be broadcasted from multiple viewpoints. My guess is … this white noise is the official commentary provided by the system. "
Shadow King thought about it and said, "Hmm … since it is the official commentary … there is no reason for it to stop."
"We have been in combat all this time," Hong Hu said. "Therefore, we can clearly see the boundary between the white noise and the white noise …"
"It was before and after the sound wave," the Shadow King said.
Hong Hu turned his gaze in the direction of the sound wave and said, "Something must have happened over there …"
"Even if your analysis is correct … so what?" Shadow King said. "Are you suggesting … that we stop fighting now and go over there to check out the situation?"
"Why not?" Ambitionist said. "We've fought until now, and we're still evenly matched. Will stopping have any effect?"
"Hmph … that's true." The Shadow King snorted. "At least from the looks of it, no one is at a disadvantage." He only said half of what he wanted to say. There was another part that was inconvenient to say, "As for how much strength both sides have hidden, only the parties involved know."
…
Beside the blood lake.
The group of 12 players didn't notice that the commentary had stopped because their attention was all on the giant creature in front of them.
The experts from the four societies came to a consensus almost at the same time — "This is not a place to stay for long."
However, before they could leave, another change occurred.
"Heh … Finally, there's a slightly decent one." A gloomy voice suddenly sounded. Although its voice was not loud, everyone around the blood lake could hear it clearly.
"Hey, hey … there's another fierce-looking guy behind us." Ming Ming, who was at the front line of the retreat, saw the newcomer immediately.
A monster with a green face and fangs, three heads and six arms, a human body and a snake tail, and a crimson body wriggled toward them …
Ming Ming's group was the fastest to retreat among the four groups, but they were also the unluckiest … because the Bloodthirsty Demon of the Nine Spectres happened to be coming from the direction behind them.
"There's a wolf in front and a tiger behind us …" Old Qun said. "Thankfully, the one behind us isn't that big."
Zhen Ge added, "No, no, no … size doesn't represent power. Based on this half-snake monster's arrogant attitude, it might be even stronger than the giant zombie in the lake …"
Just as the three of them were hesitating about whether they should force their way through … a strange shadow flashed past them.
"A traveler from another dimension …" When the Bloodthirsty Demon passed by Ming Ming's group, it thought with condescension, "Even though it's much stronger than the monsters in the city, before me … it's as slow as still water."
Frost Monarch's group didn't react until the Bloodthirsty Demon brushed past them.
"What was that thing?"
"It was so fast."
"Thankfully, it didn't attack us, or else …"
A shiver ran down their spines as the three of them broke out in a cold sweat. Lingering fear lingered in their hearts.
They should be thankful. The Bloodthirsty Demon's nature was aggressive and cruel. If not for Soul Snatcher's warning, it would have killed all the players and monsters that it came across. Even if it ran into an Anomaly, it wouldn't mind a fight.
Roar!
The giant zombie that crawled out from the lake also noticed the Bloodthirsty Demon's presence. It turned its face around and roared like it was trying to scare away the approaching threat.
"A zombie of this size is quite rare." The Bloodthirsty Demon was not affected by the roar at all. It continued to move forward fearlessly. "It's perfect as the main dish for dinner. Haha … I'll just treat that lake as the soup."
…
Somewhere in the northern part of the city.
With a flash of white light, a player was killed out of the scenario. His opponent was Wang Tanzhi.
Xiao Tan was indeed a lucky player. Since the start of the finals, he had already met and killed two players. Even though they were not seeded players, at least they had given him four points.
"Phew … That was quite impressive." After Xiao Tan left the battle, he sighed in relief.
"You're the impressive one, aren't you? You gave me the creeps." A voice suddenly came from behind Xiao Tan.
As the voice spoke, the blade moved.
Before the word 'creeps' could finish, the military knife in Xiao Tan's hand was already pressed against the side of the speaker's neck.
However, he didn't slash down because the speaker was a half-transparent hologram.
The hologram had the face of a blonde woman with a lithe figure. She wore a jacket and jeans. She had a pretty face and a magnetic voice. She gave off the vibe of an older sister.
A mere hologram wouldn't make a sound, right? Xiao Tan's mind turned. Could this be a summoned creature? A spirit? Or … something else … He took a few steps back and looked around, trying to find the controller of the hologram.
"Handsome, I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?" The hologram said again. "I've been observing you for a long time. You're not mute."
Xiao Tan looked at the hologram again and realized that 'she' had a guild logo on her jacket.
"Mountain River?" Xiao Tan's expression shifted. "You're a player?" He wasn't that surprised. After all, there were many skills in Thriller Paradise. Perhaps the opponent used some kind of cloning skill or shapeshifting skill to turn herself into a half-transparent spirit.
"She's Matcha Cookie from 'Mountain River'." Another voice spoke up.
This was a voice that Xiao Tan was very familiar with — Feng Bujue's voice.
Almost at the same time as Brother Jue said that, Matcha Cookie's projection disappeared.
Xiao Tan had no idea what was going on with this series of strange occurrences. He hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice and saw … a blonde beauty turning out from an alley not far away, and behind her was a man with messy hair.
"Brother Jue … what's going on?" Xiao Tan saw this and asked.
At that moment, Feng Bujue had one hand on Matcha Cookie's shoulder and the other holding a Death Poker to Matcha Cookie's neck. He 'escorted' her over.
"The situation is …" Feng Bujue said, "When I was on my way, I noticed that she was secretly following and monitoring you. So, I followed and monitored her." He paused and continued, "Earlier, she probably felt that the time was right and prepared to make her move on you. But she didn't expect … the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. "
"Erm … Actually, the main point is …" Xiao Tan said, "Why are you still holding her hostage? Wouldn't it be better to just kill her? "
"Hehehe …" Feng Bujue laughed sinisterly, "Alive, of course, because she still has a use for me …"
"Is it really okay for you to say such misleading lines with that expression of yours …" Xiao Tan mocked.
Matcha Cookie was calm, "I'm not worried about you doing anything out of line, but … are you sure you can control me?"
"According to the information I gathered before the competition and the 10 minutes of observation …" Feng Bujue replied, "I can confidently determine that you are a rare player who specializes in workmanship. Even though your fighting ability is not bad, it is still limited. Forgive me for being blunt, but if your fighting mastery is not even at level B … you won't be able to escape from my clutches. "
"Alright, alright … I surrender …" Matcha Cookie shrugged helplessly and opened her hands. Then, she turned her head slightly and winked at Brother Jue, "What do you want? Say it. "
