Cat and Mouse

"Hehe! Little Cloth, there are lots of people here, let's play Cat and Mouse together!"

On the high altar, the Ghost Child Boss raised the Rag Doll in his hand high, and as soon as he finished speaking, he threw the doll into the air.

Players were a bit confused by this scene.

The fight was going so well, why is the boss playing Cat and Mouse with his Rag Doll? Is that appropriate?

Such a childish mentality!

Xiao Fan:...

This move looks familiar! If nothing unexpected happens...

Something unexpected happened.

The moment the Rag Doll in the Ghost Child's hand was thrown into the sky, it suddenly swelled up!

The soft limbs rapidly expanded and deformed, instantly tearing apart the original cute shape. In just a few seconds, a giant rag doll, five meters tall with a stiff expression, loomed over everyone like a dark cloud.

It's huge! It's really huge!

"My God, what is this thing...?"

"The boss calls this thing 'Little Cloth'?"

"Damn it, this level really has two bosses."

The giant Rag Doll was even scarier than the back of the head of the Ghost Child Boss.

Rough stitches crawled across his face like centipedes, and his button-sewn eyes were dull and lifeless, yet reflected an inhuman coldness from a certain angle.

The stitches at the corners of his mouth were stretched and slightly cracked, like a strange smile that had been forcibly pulled out and was frozen in time.

The enormous body magnified that terrifying face.

Xiao Fan couldn't help but shiver.

"The Cat and Mouse begins! Hehehe..."

The Altar at the BOSS's feet had disappeared at some point, and now it sat on the Rag Doll's shoulder, looking down at the player with the back of its head, its laughter becoming even more eerie.

"Run! Run!"

Xiao Fan shouted.

This boss isn't playing Cat and Mouse with its Little Cloth; it's clearly making its Little Cloth play Cat and Mouse the player.

"Little Cloth, grab them!"

The Ghost Child sat on the Rag Doll's shoulders, swinging its legs and pointing to the right.

The Rag Doll immediately turned its head to look at the player on its right.

The players on the right were startled by the terrifying face, but they didn't slow down; they ran faster than rabbits.

However, no matter how fast the players run, the size difference between them is undeniable; they simply cannot outrun a five-meter-tall Little Cloth.

With no obstacles to hide from, it seemed they had only one option: to be chased.

Kill the Rag Doll!

In fact, some players have already done this.

Seeing that the player on the right was about to be caught up by the Rag Doll, the players in the other positions were anxious but couldn't help much. They could only turn their fire on the Rag Doll an attempt to distract it.

At this moment, Xiao Fan noticed that the Rag Doll's figure was constantly retreating as the player attacked.

His eyes lit up.

They immediately realized that the player's attacks had a knockback effect on the Rag Doll.

Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng also noticed this.

"Xiao Fan, attacking the Rag Doll will repel it."

Zhou He breathed a small sigh of relief. It was good that they could repel it; otherwise, they really couldn't outrun this thing.

"Everyone, focus fire on the Rag Doll."

As the firepower increased, the Rag Doll moved further and further away from the player.

Seeing that their attacks were effective, the players concentrated all their firepower on the Rag Doll to prevent it and the Ghost Child from getting close to them.

However, five minutes passed.

There are only 21 minutes left until the Dungeon ends.

Despite the player's relentless attacks, the Rag Doll showed no signs of dying.

This is wrong!

Generally speaking, the minions summoned by the BOSS don't have too much health. Even if the Rag Doll is strong, it shouldn't be able to survive for five minutes!

"We can't keep fighting!"

Xiao Fan suddenly realized that if they continued fighting, they might not have enough time to finish the Dungeon!

He had previously calculated the timing of the BOSS's mechanics, and the Ghost Child Boss had a very high HP.

They've wasted another five minutes playing with the Rag Doll; they can't continue.

But now it's not like he can just choose not to fight.

Allowing the Rag Doll to chase players across the entire map not only puts those players in danger, but also prevents other players from properly attacking the BOSS!

But they don't know when they'll be able to kill the Rag Doll. If they waste too much time, they won't have enough time to fight the boss later, they won't be able to clear the Dungeon, and they'll all die here.

Xiao Fan was caught in a dilemma.

Open the barrier?

No!

It's no use!

The barrier only grants 20 seconds of invincibility. In those 20 seconds, can they kill the BOSS or the Rag Doll?

If Undying, opening the barrier is just a waste of a trump card.

Something's not right! Something must be wrong.

At this moment, all the players present realized that something was wrong.

If the Cat and Mouse game is a mechanic, isn't it a bit too long? Previous boss mechanics only lasted a minute at most.

This Cat and Mouse game hasn't ended after five minutes! Are they going to keep hitting the Rag Doll forever?

What about the BOSS?

"Xiao Fan, what do we do now?" Zhou He looked at Xiao Fan anxiously.

He was truly at his wit's end; he couldn't decide whether to hit the Rag Doll or not.

The countdown has reached 00:20:01.

We can't waste any more time here.

Xiao Fan forcibly suppressed his anxiety and forced himself to calm down. Thoughts raced through his mind.

"Impossible... This Dungeon can't possibly be an unsolvable dead end! Something must be wrong..."

"Cat and Mouse... what exactly is wrong with this mechanism...?"

Etc!

Cat and Mouse?

Could it be!

Xiao Fan suddenly looked up; he finally knew where the problem lay!

Identity!

The player's identity isn't the rat at all; it's the Ghost Child!

"One team attacks the Rag Doll, while the other three teams focus fire on the BOSS."

Xiao Fan quickly gave instructions.

Previously, all three teams were attacking the Rag Doll, and now the Rag Doll is some distance away from the player. Only one team needs to attack to ensure it doesn't rush over.

Although puzzled, the player immediately changed their attack target.

Especially considering how much time they had wasted before, players dared not waste another single moment.

"Xiao Fan, how do we deal with this Rag Doll? If we keep attacking it like this, it won't be long before it charges at us again." Jian Qingfeng looked worried.

Xiao Fan shook his head. "Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, it will change back to normal soon."

In addition, Xiao Fan had another bold guess.

After throwing the Rag Doll, the BOSS's defense and special defense will be greatly reduced, and its health will drop very quickly when attacked at this time.

This boss already has a lot of health, so the Cat and Mouse mechanic might be to give players time to attack the boss.

The thought of this possibility filled Xiao Fan with immense regret! He had wasted so much time!

Fortunately, it's not too late.

In fact, Xiao Fan's guess was correct.

The players attacked the BOSS relentlessly for a short while, and the Ghost Child Boss summoned back the Rag Doll.

"Little Cloth, come back quickly!"

Xiao Fan laughed without uttering a sound.
