Zi Ling once again used her long hair to form a barrier, standing between them and the Faceless Man.
The faceless men used it as a weapon, ramming it into his hair.
Even as their long, razor-sharp hair slashed their bodies, the faceless men continued their actions as if they felt no pain.
"How about I do it?" Lu Shi knew he could still use the Bone Ghost Fire. "You guys just need to run out."
Replenished with the energy from the psychic potion, Lu Shi was confident that he could wipe out the group of faceless men gathered together with a ball of ghost fire.
“But,” Cao Ran said, her body pressed against the door, now back in Han Baobao’s body, “I tried, but the door won’t open. It’s not locked, it’s sealed.”
Ye Bugui cursed under his breath; he had encountered this situation before.
If they want to leave this place, there is only one way left: to kill all the Faceless Men in the house.
At this moment, Ye Bugui quickly walked to Lu Shi's side. They had to come up with a plan to break through before Zi Ling's long hair barrier was completely broken.
"If we're here, will your magic be useless?" Ye Bugui was clever; when he heard Lu Shi specifically tell them to go out, he guessed this.
As expected, Lu Shi nodded and said, "Yes, there are too many faceless people here. If I make a move directly, the will-o'-the-wisps will devour you all."
"Can you take them down one by one, just like you did before?" Ye Bugui asked.
"But this takes time, and we don't have that much time. Besides, my mental strength doesn't currently support me using it that many times."
Breaking down a large spell into ten smaller spells requires a very high level of mental strength.
“You don’t need to kill all the Faceless Men, Demon Lord,” Ye Bugui chuckled, licking his lips in a rather chuunibyou manner. “Don’t forget, you have teammates.”
You have teammates.
These words startled Lu Shi, but his heart warmed involuntarily.
Yes, he is no longer the demon lord who had no one to help him back then.
He has a tacit business partner and close friend, as well as a group of kind-hearted teammates whom he only met temporarily.
Looking at Zi Ling's resolute back, Lu Shi straightened his body, and a faint fire burned in his palm.
"I can't hold on much longer." Zi Ling's face was extremely pale. The individual killing power of these faceless people was not high, but there were too many of them.
Faced with overwhelming numbers, Zi Ling's once-proud abilities are finally about to crumble.
At this moment, Ye Bugui shouted, "Cao Ran, Xue Li, Chen Xin, none of your cards have attack skills, right?"
The three of them hummed in response, but they all stood up involuntarily, and put away their expressions of fear and helplessness.
"You guys must have some props, right? Now, don't be stingy with your props, use everything you can. The moment Zi Ling's long hair disappears, Lu Shi and I will each go and deal with the Faceless Man."
“I may not be able to attract the attention of all the Faceless Men. If any escape, you will have to rely on yourselves to protect yourselves,” Lu Shi said casually.
But at that moment, everyone, including Lu Shi, couldn't help but look at him.
Lu Shi was worried. He really wanted to tell Ye Bugui that he had another real trump card.
His Heavenly Demon Saint Body is all that's needed to send him to his death.
But he also knew that if he told Ye Bugui his thoughts, Ye Bugui would definitely give him a good scolding.
Moreover, given Ye Bugui's personality, he definitely wouldn't appreciate it and would even feel that Lu Shi was looking down on him and get angry.
Zi Ling's long hair finally broke off, falling to the ground instantly as if it had withered.
At that moment, Lu Shi also rushed out at an extremely fast speed.
Sherry opened her mouth, suddenly wanting to say, "Weren't you supposed to be a sucker?" But after thinking about it, she didn't say it. Who here doesn't have a secret?
She clutched all the props tightly, staring ahead with a sense of formidable danger.
In Lu Shi's hand, a ball of will-o'-the-wisp the size of a palm appeared first.
It charged toward the nearest Faceless Man and instantly burned it and the tumor on its back to ashes.
However, while Lu Shi's move looked cool, he needed time to prepare before using it a second time.
At the same time, another faceless man jumped in front of Lu Shi.
"Go to hell!" Sherry gritted her teeth and pulled a wind-up robot from the treasures in her arms.
The wind-up robot, which was originally only the size of Sherry's palm, suddenly grew to be as tall as Lu Shi.
It punched the faceless man, who immediately fell to the ground.
Lu Shi was about to praise Xue Li for saving him in time when he didn't expect that the wind-up robot would turn around and punch him.
If Lu Shi hadn't been a seasoned veteran with a quick reaction to such situations, he probably would have been knocked to the ground by now.
Lu Shi looked at the robot in front of him with some surprise and couldn't help but ask Shirley:
"What's the deal with this prop?"
This is like a treasure made by an ignorant apprentice in a treasure pavilion; how could it be used to harm its own people!
Sherry then shrank back and whispered, "This item is quite powerful, but it has a small drawback: once it starts firing, it won't stop. Even teammates will fire. But if you stay away from it, Brother Lu, you'll be fine!"
Lu Shi sighed and decisively ran away. Just then, another Faceless Man rushed over, quickly attracting the attention of the Wind-up Robot, and the robot began fighting with the Faceless Man.
While Lu Shi was preparing to condense the next ball of ghost fire, Cao Ran and Chen Xin had already picked up their weapons and started fighting a faceless man.
Cao Ran held a baseball bat, while Chen Xin held a kitchen knife.
These two weapons may look cheap, but they are actually their best weapons, and their destructive power is more than enough to deal with this level four Faceless Man.
So the two of them joined forces and managed to send the faceless man flying.
In fact, if they were put in a room alone and let them face the Faceless Man one-on-one, they might actually win.
Unfortunately, these faceless men used a human wave tactic; before one could be killed, another would immediately appear.
The battlefield maintains a delicate balance.
Until a thick fog suddenly filled the room.
Lu Shi frowned. Although the fog hadn't touched him, his body was already experiencing an uncomfortable reaction.
The fog seemed to harbor a demon, watching him intently.
That damp, gloomy atmosphere was silently permeating every corner of the room.
Sherry crossed her arms and said nervously, "Is this fog a new monster? I feel so uncomfortable. It's like whenever I touch it, I'll be reminded of my painful memories."
She glanced at her props, and it seemed that none of them could be used to fight against this ethereal being.
Only when Lu Shi burned a faceless man who had climbed to the ceiling and was preparing to ambush Sherry with a ball of ghost fire did he immediately think of someone.
Ye Bugui.
He has been out of contact for the past few minutes since he rushed in.
It was as if I was overwhelmed by that group of faceless people stacked on top of each other.
However, Lu Shi realized that this thick fog was probably initiated by Ye Bugui.
If this really is Ye Bugui's ability... Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, telling himself that this was just a random ability and had nothing to do with Ye Bugui's true nature.
However, such abilities always give people a bad impression.
The thick fog seemed to be aware of its own existence; it stopped automatically just before it was about to touch any of the players.
The faceless man in the thick fog also fell silent at this moment.
This was quite strange, since they all knew very well how joyfully the monsters had been shouting just now.
But now the Faceless Man is silent. Is he just going to be swallowed up by the fog?
Zi Ling, who had been resting on the side, also came to her senses. Looking at the terrifying thick fog, she looked at Lu Shi.
"Is this his character card? Who exactly is he?"
They now understand very well that Ye Bugui is definitely not the kind of player who relies on powerful figures for support.
The abilities he is currently displaying have even instilled fear in Zi Ling, who considers herself the strongest among their group of players.
She had no doubt that if she stepped into that fog now, she would be greeted by a nightmare.
Since most of the Faceless Men in the room had been swallowed up by the thick fog, Lu Shi found it much easier to deal with the remaining Faceless Men.
He could even chat with Zi Ling: "I only know that he won't harm me, nor will he harm anyone else. Does anything else matter?"
Zi Ling was taken aback and wanted to refute Lu Shi, but found that she couldn't find a reason.
Yes, among these players, has any of them really revealed their trump cards? As long as Ye Bugui won't harm them, why should they press him for answers?
“You’re right, let’s work together to kill the rest of the monsters!” Zi Ling stood up again. Her hair had grown longer, but Lu Shi could tell at a glance that the quality of her hair was much worse than before.
Sherry took a deep breath, then exclaimed, "Oh no! My robot, it's gone into the fog!"
At this moment, Cao Ran, who was striking the Faceless Man's back with a stick, trembled slightly, and then comforted him with a word: "Personal possessions are external things; as long as you are alive, that's all that matters."
Sherry naturally understood this principle, but she got this prop by sheer luck from opening the box.
It was heartbreaking to lose her like that, especially since she was killed by a teammate's skill.
Chen Xin slashed the tumorous face with her knife, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the monstrous tumor scream.
"Finally almost at the end! These monsters are disgusting, but thankfully their attack methods are simple, and we can get through them by just memorizing the steps."
Upon hearing the new term, Lu Shi first precisely used his ghost fire to engulf a faceless man's tumor before asking, "What does 'backplate' mean?"
“It’s an action game term,” Chen Xin said in a low voice, “It’s just about memorizing their fixed attack patterns and dodging in time. These faceless men will just rush up to you and then attack with their claws. And their weakness is also obvious, which is the fleshy lump on their backs.”
"So I'm pretty sure there are monsters in this dungeon that are even stronger than them."
“But I just saw a faceless person climb up to the ceiling.” Lu Shi was very serious at times like this.
"They're probably mutated elite monsters," Chen Xin said dismissively. "I estimate that Ye Bugui took at least two-thirds of the Faceless Men with him. Can he really handle them all by himself?"
"Are you planning to go into the fog to help him?" Sherry advised. "I think the fog is much more dangerous than these faceless men."
Lu Shi, Ye Bugui's teammate, also spoke up: "I believe in him, there definitely won't be any problems."
He stared at the thick fog, very curious about what was inside.
...
Ten minutes ago.
The moment Ye Bugui rushed out, the beautifully designed yet sinister card he had been hiding in the warehouse lit up.
