Looking at the words that appeared in the void, Shen Heng's lips twitched involuntarily.
Is it because they think their simulation is too easy?
However, different people have different opinions when faced with the same words.
Xiao Xiangtong silently picked up the sword and stood up.
"No, are we really going down there? Didn't they say there are still sixteen Calamity Beast down there?" Yu Ruofei shouted hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Since the coach has already said so, we definitely have to go down," Shen Heng said helplessly. After saying that, he updated the data on the Calamity Beast, "There are fifteen now."
"But even fifteen is still very dangerous!" Yu Ruofei said.
"Obeying orders is a soldier's duty, even though we are no longer soldiers or police officers," Xiao Xiangtong retorted.
"Can..."
Yu Ruofei wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Cao Yingluo beside him.
"Since the instructor has given the order, we indeed have no choice but to go down, but..."
Cao Yingluo looked at Shen Heng as she spoke.
"Fifteen Calamity Beast are indeed very dangerous for the five of us. Are we just going to let things continue like this?"
This time, Xiao Xiangtong did not refute it again. She also understood the danger that the five of them might face when confronting fifteen Calamity Beast.
Upon hearing this, Shen Heng lowered his head and began to ponder.
After a long silence, he spoke:
"In that case, instead of going directly to the street, we'll go down to the lower floors of the building and lure the remaining Calamity Beast in."
"This way, we can use the building's structure to restrict the movement of the Calamity Beast, while also reducing the number of Calamity Beast we face at the same time."
"As for the floor, let's choose the sixth floor for now."
"That way, even if the building is damaged by the Calamity Beast rushing in..."
Shen Heng stopped mid-sentence, because the void began to fluctuate again.
Soon, a red X appeared, floating silently in the void.
Does this mean it won't work...? Shen Heng's lips twitched.
"Fifth floor?"
"X!"
"The fourth floor?"
"X!"
"Third floor? Second floor? First floor?"
After talking until the first floor, the red cross in the void finally disappeared.
"Pfft--"
Yu Ruofei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When she saw Shen Heng looking over, she quickly suppressed her smile and pretended to be serious.
Shen Heng withdrew his gaze and let out a soft breath.
Fine, the first floor it is. Although there's a big, tall hall on the first floor, it's still better than facing fifteen Calamity Beast on the street.
"Alright, let's get down!" Shen Heng stood up.
The others also silently stood up.
Two hours later.
"Whoosh--"
A flash of cyan sword light.
With a loud 'boom,' the last Calamity Beast, the Giant Rock Bear, collapsed to the ground.
Everyone's bodies went limp, as if the energy supporting them had dissipated.
"Waaah, Sister Yingluo, we actually won! We killed all the Calamity Beast!" Yu Ruofei said, her voice trembling with tears.
"Yes, when the building collapsed, I thought we were going to be killed by the Calamity Beast." Xiong Yingluo smiled.
Shen Heng let out a soft breath and turned to look at the towering ruins beside him.
After they killed four Calamity Beast, one of Calamity Beast broke a load-bearing pillar, causing the building to collapse.
They were forced into the street to face the remaining eleven Calamity Beast, and then...
Shen Heng looked down at the large claw marks on his body, the blood completely staining his chest.
Not only him, but everyone involved in the battle suffered serious injuries, but fortunately, they finally won.
Thinking of this, Shen Heng turned to look at the greatest contributor.
Noticing that she was being watched, Xiao Xiangtong gently turned her head.
After exchanging glances, they nodded briefly to each other.
"By the way, I wonder how the other people in the Thunder Circle are doing!" Yu Ruofei asked curiously.
"If they were talking, they should have quit the simulation long ago." Shen Heng turned to look at Yu Ruofei.
"Hmm? How did you know?" Yu Ruofei looked over with some curiosity.
Shen Heng looked up at the light screen in the sky, where everyone's score was displayed.
1. Xiao Xiangtong, 800 points
2. Shen Heng, 680 points
3. Wu Hongxuan, 560 points
4. Liu...
"The people on the light screen, apart from us, haven't changed their scores for a long time, which means they haven't killed Calamity Beast in a long time," Shen Heng said, looking at the scores on the light screen.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the lightning circle more than a hundred meters away.
"And the minefield has shrunk to this area."
"So, they either killed all the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast, or they were killed by them."
"We hid until only the last fifteen Calamity Beast came down, and we were almost killed by Calamity Beast. What about the others?"
"Oh, I see!" Yu Ruofei nodded in realization.
She also looked up to check their scores.
Soon, she shouted excitedly.
"Sister Sakura, look, we're twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth! We were just around twentieth before..."
Shen Heng continued to stare at the light screen.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the fifth, sixth, and seventh places.
7. Zhou Xuan, score 455
8. Lü Wenrui, points 455
9. Fang Ran, score 455
"This..." Shen Heng stared at the rankings on the screen with some surprise.
He clearly remembered that the three of them only had 265 points before, how did it suddenly become 455?
Keep in mind that Shen Heng and his team only gained 230 more points.
This is still because many of the last fifteen Calamity Beast were Late Third Tier Calamity Beast.
How did Zhou Xuan and his two companions suddenly gain 190 points?
Have you found a method, particularly effective for killing the Calamity Beast?
Shen Heng frowned and pondered for a while, but to no avail.
"Never mind, I'll just ask outside."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
As the simulation ended, Xiao Xiangtong and the other three gradually faded from Shen Heng's sight.
Shen Heng looked at the spot where they had been standing with some confusion, then looked down and reached out to scratch.
"Huh? Why didn't I log out?"
Just as he was pondering, a detached voice rang out across the city.
"This is your punishment for using your abilities to guide the Calamity Beast in the simulation to kill the other members."
Shen Heng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Before he could even think about the specifics, a bolt of purple lightning shot out from the thunderclouds and struck him directly.
He instinctively tried to avoid the lightning bolt, but found it impossible; he could only watch helplessly as the purple lightning bolt drew ever closer.
"Boom--"
The moment the purple lightning pierced through his body, Shen Heng's consciousness suddenly exploded into a blank.
The excruciating pain did not arrive as expected; instead, a strange sense of being ripped away came—as if a million ice picks were piercing his soul, crushing and reassembling his consciousness inch by inch.
His vision was torn into countless fragments, then Distortion and pieced back together in the flash of lightning.
A sharp buzzing sound echoed in his ears, like millions of insects gnawing at his nerves.
