Chapter 68: The Deaths of the Wolf Barbarian and the Ghost Scholar!

Time rewound thirty seconds earlier.

Xu Lang and Wang Yazhi didn't immediately show themselves after going downstairs, instead first investigating information about the two BOSSes.

Wolf Savage was the ninth floor BOSS, tall and powerfully built with a full beard, wearing animal skin clothing.

This scholar was precisely the eighth floor BOSS!

Ghost Scholar wore a faint smile, lightly waving his hand to send the paper dolls around him crashing against the dormitory door, then automatically igniting into flames.

Wolf Savage summoned monkeys, leopards, and wolves to charge the formation.

Just as the two were happily breaking through the door, gunshots rang out—one hitting Wolf Savage's shoulder, another striking his neck.

Wolf Savage paused for a moment, casually plucked the bullet from his neck, spotted Xu Lang firing in the corridor, his eyes lighting up as he strode forward.

Ghost Scholar glanced at the dormitory door, then at Xu Lang, also stepping toward the latter with light, floating footsteps as if walking on tiptoes.

Boom~

At that moment, dormitory 159's door was breached, several beasts charging inside.

But Ghost Scholar and Wolf Savage paid no attention, their focus entirely on Xu Lang.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xu Lang aimed and fired at Wolf Savage, riddling him with blood holes large and small.

However, Wolf Savage completely ignored it, moving like a tiger as he leaped into the corridor in a single bound.

A foul beast stench mixed with the smell of blood assaulted their senses, making them want to retch.

"ROAR!!"

Xu Lang retreated backward while simultaneously, a terrifying zombie with bluish-purple complexion leaped out from the corridor corner, its arms retracting then extending, directly piercing into Wolf Savage's chest!

"Now's the time!"

Xu Lang mentally shouted.

Wang Yazhi didn't disappoint him, stepping forward with a green-glowing long sword fiercely stabbing into Wolf Savage's heart, her movements exceptionally decisive and sharp as if practiced thousands of times.

The green glow didn't come from the sword itself but from zombie poison applied to it.

This stuff was a basic item dropped by zombies that could manually enchant weapons.

Seeing Corpse Chief's bluish-purple face, Wolf Savage's eyes flashed with human-like astonishment, though no one knew what he was thinking—he didn't even bother with the sword in his heart, spraying green blood several seconds later before collapsing to the ground.

His rise was sudden, his fall abrupt.

The good teammate who was just breaking doors together moments ago now lay fallen before them, leaving Ghost Scholar completely bewildered.

However, while he stood dazed, Xu Lang wouldn't hesitate, throwing a dozen burning incense sticks toward him.

These incense sticks were items dropped by the second-floor fox demon, possessing hypnotic effects.

"Kill him, to be safer," Xu Lang said.

Wang Yazhi nodded, delivering over ten consecutive sword strikes that severed Ghost Scholar's head.

When Zheng Kai and his teammates stepped out, this was the scene they witnessed.

A ferocious zombie stood beside a man with faint dark circles, like a guardian.

Wolf Savage lay fallen nearby, dead beyond doubt.

And an extraordinarily beautiful young woman in a white dress was chopping off Ghost Scholar's head.

"Am I seeing things?"

Zheng Kai stood frozen in place, as if watching two butchers bullying piglets.

Seeing these four people, Xu Lang raised his pistol slightly, his other hand resting on the combat knife at his waist.

Keeping weapons outside didn't take up backpack slots, though it could be inconvenient sometimes.

Noticing Xu Lang's subtle movement, Zheng Kai immediately raised his hands, swallowing hard as he said, "You're Xu Lang, right?"

Though this was his first time seeing Xu Lang, he had guessed his identity.

"Mm," Xu Lang nodded, expression calm.

This reaction didn't seem like a newcomer's...

Zheng Kai felt like he was the novice before Xu Lang, the pressure overwhelming as he stammered, "Th-thank you for coming to save us! We'll repay you in the future!"

Heaven knows, when the door was breached, his life had already started flashing before his eyes.

"No need for thanks, players should help each other," Xu Lang grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

While the two conversed, Wang Yazhi had already collected the dropped items from both BOSSes.

Watching the two people and one zombie disappear down the corridor, Zheng Kai's tense heart finally relaxed.

Damn!

Is this really a first-phase newcomer? He feels more like a wild BOSS!

"How exactly did this Xu Lang develop so fast!" Zheng Kai wiped sweat from his forehead.

"He must have already developed his own playstyle," the male tenant sighed.

It's like stock trading—some top players develop their own strategies that let them snowball quickly.

"He'll probably be the Top Player again this round," the middle-aged woman pursed her lips, feeling both relief at surviving a close call and helplessness facing such talent.

Some people work as coders for ten years with monthly salaries barely reaching seven thousand.

Some get invited to the Academy of Sciences at fourteen.

That's the difference.

Xu Lang was Top Player in the first round, and the second round's Top Player title is already locked for him, while they're barely scraping into top ten, not even touching the top three.

"The stronger he is, the better. Too bad there's no space on the tenth floor anymore, otherwise I'd really want to move up," another female tenant sighed.

A sixteen-year-old topping the peak rankings is terrifying, but if he's on your team, that's another story.

The four didn't idle around either, briefly discussing before going to loot corpses.

With so many dead on the same floor, one good looting spree would make them rich.

Xu Lang and Wang Yazhi were taking inventory of their loot in the corridor.

The two BOSSes dropped quite a few treasures, including two Ten Day Bells: Ten Day Bells·Beast and Ten Day Bells·Paper.

Xu Lang had already decided to collect all the Ten Day Bells.

Suddenly, he noticed Wang Yazhi spacing out slightly and asked, "Yazhi, what are you doing?"

"I'm calling Wu Huihui and the others to come to the eighth floor for looting," Wang Yazhi smiled.

"Okay," Xu Lang nodded, then handed Ten Day Bells·Beast to Wang Yazhi, saying, "Take this, it can summon three level two beasts."

"Alright," Wang Yazhi reached out to take it, showing a sweet smile.

When they left the room, Xu Lang had already given her "Black Zombie Essence Blood" that could save her life at critical moments, and now he was giving her another item.

Wang Yazhi felt incredibly happy.

Next, the two headed to the seventh floor.

Xu Lang didn't suggest Wang Yazhi return, because her combat ability wasn't weak now, and having an assistant by his side was reassuring.
