Chapter 73: Xu Lang: Do you want to be in the top three?

After completing all this, Xu Lang didn't rush to cultivate immediately. Instead, he put away all his items and handed the two Ten Day Bells to Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi.

Then, he looked at Cao Yaxuan and asked, "How many bosses are still alive now?"

"All three are still alive, but the Skin-Peeling Ghost on the fifth floor should be about to die. Everyone is focusing their attacks on it now," Cao Yaxuan replied.

"Is Wu Huihui there too?"

"Yes."

Xu Lang nodded thoughtfully and opened his private message with Wu Huihui.

On the fifth floor, Wu Huihui, holding her Spiked Club, suddenly perked up with excitement.

Wu Huihui completely trusted this information!

Xu Lang's rapid boss kills were the best endorsement!

Actually, Xu Lang had two potential cooperation targets.

One was Xu Ruyan, and the other was Wu Huihui.

The former was more reliable, but also harder to control. As a veteran player, she didn't have the responsibility of leading younger female players and might run off with benefits at any time, making it impossible to strengthen all players on the tenth floor.

Not long after, Xu Lang saw Wu Huihui's points shoot up into the top ten.

Immediately, he opened a trade with Wu Huihui.

Wu Huihui didn't agree immediately, but after a while, she proactively initiated a trade with Xu Lang.

Theoretically, as long as one player is in the dormitory and another is in the wild, they could have unlimited backpack space by cooperating with each other.

But in reality, this method was extremely dangerous because when clicking to trade, the person becomes completely defenseless, and their field of vision becomes severely limited.

After all, even using the dormitory system to chat during combat was very dangerous, let alone trading.

Xu Lang put up one Copper Coin, while Wu Huihui put up a Ten Day Bell·Painting.

Two seconds later, the trade was completed.

Holding the Ten Day Bell·Painting, Xu Lang continued sending private messages to Wu Huihui.

On the fifth floor, Wu Huihui plopped down on the stairs, breathing heavily. Wang Tingting and Nie Xiaozhu were helping bandage her wounds while constantly praising her.

"Huihui, you're so amazing!"

"How did you know the Skin-Peeling Ghost was afraid of poison, and how could you instantly identify its true form!"

Around Wu Huihui, about ten people gathered, staying alert to their surroundings while also feeling proud to be associated with her.

"Hehe, it was just luck," Wu Huihui smiled, her gaze turning toward the fifth floor corridor.

The group was still arguing over the Skin-Peeling Ghost's loot.

Wu Huihui only took the Ten Day Bell, and everyone recognized her contribution, so they didn't bother her about it.

"These people are something else, not even thinking about going to kill other bosses, still arguing here," Nie Xiaozhu muttered quietly.

Wu Huihui shook her head. "It's normal. Who would choose to earn a million when they can just pick one up?"

Just then, she received Xu Lang's message.

Wu Huihui's eyes widened, and she quickly said, "Quick, quick, quick! Give me the hemostatic spray! We're going to other floors to kill more bosses!"

Everyone around was stunned, then became somewhat excited.

Was Huihui going on another killing spree!?

Was the tenth floor Warrior returning to the mortal realm!?

General Golden Blade broke through doors, unstoppable. All attacks hitting his armor were like water splashing against an Iron Door, almost completely ineffective.

The moment he reached the sixth floor, he slaughtered everyone there into complete chaos!

Now, the sixth floor was empty, with everyone having fled downstairs to escape.

And General Golden Blade was lured all the way outside the building.

Despite General Golden Blade wearing heavy armor, his speed was truly impressive.

Wu Huihui chased after him, her flesh jiggling wildly, finally managing to intercept General Golden Blade with her group.

She released numerous small Paper Dolls one by one.

Once these paper figures flew out, they clung to General Golden Blade and his subordinates before spontaneously combusting.

At first, it didn't seem effective, but later General Golden Blade's armor became scalding hot, continuously losing health.

One minute later, General Golden Blade and his subordinates burned to death.

On Wu Huihui's side, two players fell.

Before they could even mourn their companions, when Wu Huihui saw General Golden Blade's drops, she burst into loud laughter.

A full three divine artifacts!

One was a Ten Day Bell·Soldier, one was level four equipment Copper Armor Heavy Equipment, and the last was a level three weapon Thousand Ox Blade!

At the same time, Wu Huihui's points surged to second place on the leaderboard, right behind Xu Lang.

Overjoyed, Wu Huihui quickly sent a private message to Xu Lang.

Wu Huihui immediately pouted, thinking it was because she wasn't pretty enough, then quickly dismissed that thought as inappropriate.

If Xu Lang really had issues with her, he wouldn't have told her the weaknesses of two bosses.

It must be that killing Blind Eye was genuinely dangerous.

This was indeed the case. As the leader of the Ten Evil Practitioners, Blind Eye wasn't killed by others but died from ghostly backlash. Capturing this weakness required extremely high operational skill.

Therefore, Xu Lang assigned this task to veteran player Xu Ruyan.

First floor.

"Kill!!!" Thunderbolt gulped down a potion, frantically releasing Palm Thunder from his hands, blasting away the small ghosts in the corridor.

The entire first floor corridor was littered with many player corpses.

With only Blind Eye left as the final boss, all players thought they could pick up easy rewards.

But when they arrived, they discovered this boss was terrifyingly strong, and by then it was too late to escape.

On the first floor corridor, numerous small ghosts roamed—some lame-legged, some missing hands, some blind-eyed, some deaf-eared—creating a ghastly scene.

And once touched by these ghosts, players would gain corresponding disability buffs, making the ghosts exceptionally difficult to kill at that point.

For example, Thunderbolt currently had a blind ghost and a legless ghost clinging to his back!

Two teammates were helping him exorcise the ghosts, using over ten exorcism talismans in succession before the blind ghost showed signs of detaching!

However, more ghosts were heading toward Thunderbolt's group.

Some veteran players watching from afar didn't dare approach at all!

During the initial siege, Blind Eye had already suffered serious injuries, which was the only reason they hadn't left yet!

Everyone was waiting for an opportunity.

Quite a few players could wall-run. One veteran player walked along the second floor walls as if on flat ground, looking toward Blind Eye while saying, "Xu Ruyan, this old ghost is really tough to deal with. Later, let's try using ranged attacks again..."

When this veteran player saw Xu Ruyan, he almost called out "Mom."

Xu Ruyan looked incredibly similar to a character from a shooting game he played!

—Viper.

After seeing Xu Ruyan, he had been intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to her. Even if he couldn't become roommates, smelling her hair fragrance would be nice enough.

And there might still be a chance.

After speaking, he received no response for a while. When he turned to look, he was shocked to discover that Mom... Xu Ruyan had disappeared at some point!
