PFRG: Chapter 136

After taking this person to a relatively suitable position, Chi Ting looked at the two figures in the office and introduced them. “Old Song can lock into all life forms in his domain. In this case, he is equivalent to a radar specially matched to Little Bird. As long as they can confirm the positions of all the threads in this instance at once, they can be completely wiped out with a one-time burst.”

“One-time?” This surprised Yue Ren. “Is the killing power of that pink-haired guy so exaggerated?”

“Yes, as long as he is willing…” Chi Ting had always been generous in praising his own players. “The lethality is strong enough, and the relative consumption is also very high. The last time in our world, he was—well, anyway, this type of explosion also has certain risks. It must be controlled within a certain threshold, or it can’t be called an explosion but a self-destruction.”

Yue Ren raised an eyebrow.

Vaguely, he seemed to guess how Ji Xingque came to this world.

“It is about to begin.” Once Chi Ting finished speaking, the two of them looked over at the same time.

Thanks to Song Xuefeng’s phantom providing them with an additional protective barrier, the first thing they sensed was a faint vibration coming from the ground.

There were a series of bangs. Then the chandeliers on the ceiling of the arcade collapsed one after another. Their entire field of view suddenly dimmed.

However, what followed were fierce flames that roared into view.

The moment the flames spread, it seemed like they were going to completely engulf the entire instance. Huge air waves rushed in all directions. Under the violent shaking of the ground, those threads that were afraid of fire twisted and tried to drill into various corners that weren’t easily noticed. They had no time to struggle and were completely engulfed by the overwhelming sea of fire. All escapes almost lost all meaning at this moment. In their vision, which was almost blurred by a halo, only the two people standing quietly in the corner could see the figures walking out of the office covered in flames. Under the completely unbridled happy laughter and more intensive firepower, all the prey that were targeted were melted in this ultimate gunpowder feast.

Even through the protective screen, one could still feel the burning heat from the outside world. It was enough to melt everything away completely.

In just a few seconds, the instance world was completely engulfed in a sea of fire. Only the culprit was expressing his extreme excitement without any concealment in this world of fire.

“I finally see now that there are some crazy people in your team.”

Chi Ting smiled after hearing Yue Ren’s words.

Crazy? Yes, they were.

After all, there was no one among the superpowers of their world who weren’t crazy.

The exhilarating burst of firepower had already made Ji Xingque sweat profusely. The overly exhilarating outburst caused his chest to rise and fall distinctly. He wiped his sweat-blurred vision, and the corners of his mouth were still curved in an arrogant arc.

The non-stop strafing continued to carry out the finishing work. At the same time, there were the explosions of the miniature mines in the corners. The only remaining threads in the hidden corners didn’t even have time to struggle to find new shelter before they were completely swallowed up by the flames, leaving only sticky and blurry plasma.

Bang bang bang bang!

The information obtained at the gas station had been fully verified. These threads in the instance were indeed very afraid of fire. The existence of Ji Xingque itself was undoubtedly the most powerful firepower weapon.

There was no doubt that this wave of cooperation was completed very beautifully. Looking around, the threads originally visible everywhere had been completely burned out. The Starry Sky Arcade engulfed in flames was like hell.

Ji Xingque let out a long sigh of relief. He was about to say something, but he felt a bit exhausted after the unreserved outburst. His body swayed slightly, and he was held firmly by Song Xuefeng, who came up behind him.

Chi Ting had been paying attention to the situation over there. From a distance, he could see Song Xuefeng supporting Ji Xingque. It wasn’t known what he was saying, but he suddenly rushed towards them.

Chi Ting immediately realized that something was wrong. The moment he removed the barrier, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him. At the same time, Song Xuefeng’s voice also entered his ears. “Captain, leave here!”

Such a sentence seemed incoherent, but the moment he looked up, Chi Ting instantly understood it. Without hesitation, he pulled Yue Ren and turned to leave.

Yue Ren’s steps while catching up seemed even more decisive. As he ran towards the exit, he didn’t forget to glance behind him as he confirmed, “It shouldn’t be a failure, right?”

“You are the one who failed!” Ji Xingque had recovered a lot after being dragged along by Song Xuefeng. He almost blew up again when he heard this question. “It is because of success that the price caused the concentrated explosion of the main body’s energy source. We have to retreat quickly or we won’t be able to get out!”

Yue Ren was amused. “It seems that No 7 really had another trick up his sleeve.”

In order to avoid being questioned again and again, Song Xuefeng briefly summarized the current situation. “All the threads in this instance are the product of the ability of the superpower. But the burning process only destroyed the flesh of these things. All the energy is returned to the main body at the same time. Now it can be understood that the energy in the instance has increased too much compared to the initial state. If it all returns to the main body, it won’t be able to bear it. The final result of squeezing it all into the main body in a short period of time is a complete explosion.”

Chi Ting sighed deeply and continued, “I should praise you for completing the mission beautifully, but now isn’t the time to share your experience. If we don’t leave now, it will be too late.”

From the corner of his eye, he could already see the huge torrent erupting from the office like a hurricane.

He pushed Yue Ren forward almost without hesitation. Then he reached out and pulled Song Xuefeng and Ji Xingque over. He quickly stepped forward and used the pass he had exchanged earlier. Then he pressed the gear lever with one hand and swiped the pass through quickly.

He didn’t look back, but Chi Ting could still feel the ground shaking that was approaching. The airflow caused by the huge impact made the hair behind his head fly up.

Without stopping, he could see that Song Xuefeng and Ji Xingque had already rushed into the portal. After he turned back, his pupils widened a bit, and his vision shifted slightly to the figure of the other person. “Hurry up!”

Yue Ren was the first to pass through the exit. But after pushing two people into the portal one after another, he still stood there without moving. Hearing this, he wasn’t anxious at all. Instead, he turned back and took a few steps forward. He went straight to Chi Ting and stretched out his hand. Without waiting for Chi Ting to speak, he pulled the person over.

The moment he was entangled in the shadow, Chi Ting was slightly distracted by the familiar feel. Then his mind was soon drawn back by Ji Xingque’s suddenly raised voice. “Captain, be careful!”

In fact, there was no need to remind him. His keen intuition about crisis had already made him realize that something was wrong. He looked back and could see a barrier rising up simultaneously from where Song Xuefeng was standing.

At this moment, the energy beam generated by the explosion of the superpower was already carrying a violent storm and reached close to him.

Song Xuefeng’s protection had always been reassuring, but Chi Ting wasn’t given a chance to scrutinize it. His usually calm expression finally showed a hint of surprise when he saw the light beam penetrate the barrier directly.

Nothing should be able to penetrate this barrier made from a superpower.

Seeing that he was about to be hit head-on, Chi Ting naturally knew he had to dodge. However, even Song Xuefeng’s barrier was useless, and he had no way to avoid it for a while.

If they had just one more second, it would be enough for them to enter the portal.

Chi Ting reached out his hand and grabbed Yue Ren. In an instant, he was ready to take the blow. However, he was caught off guard when Yue Ren gave him a sudden smile.

Then he felt a force falling down.

His real body’s strength wasn’t enough to compete with Chi Ting, so the shadow wrapped around Chi Ting pulled him forward. Chi Ting was able to crash into the door first due to the huge traction force.

After realizing what was going on, Chi Ting’s pupils suddenly shrank for a moment because his hand was still pulling the other person’s sleeve. The moment he looked up, he saw the figure he had brought to the door, and the dazzling beam of light behind him hit Yue Ren heavily.

The force generated by the excessive energy compression and explosion was like a sharp blade piercing straight into the body. The moment it hit Yue Ren’s body, it briefly shattered and disintegrated before gathering again.

However, before Chi Ting could react and go over to check, everyone entered through the door, and the teleportation point was activated. He was lost in thoughts as the darkness completely enveloped him and dragged him down.

The intense flames in the Starry Sky Arcaade also completely died down.

[The ‘Strange Stories Arcade’ instance has been closed. I look forward to you coming again.]

[Congratulations to the players Chi Ting, Yue Ren, Ji Xingque, and Song Xuefeng for clearing the ‘Strange Stories Arcade’ instance!]

[The instance reward is being calculated. Please wait…]

……

[All players have left, and the ‘Strange Stories Arcade’ instance is being restarted.]

[Beep—! The main program of the instance is missing. The restart has failed.]

[Insufficient backup data. The attempted repair has failed.]

[There is an unknown glitch. The ‘Strange Stories Arcade’ instance passage is temporarily closed.]

The familiar system sound became the only source of sound in his mind.

In a bar in the Sanctuary, a group of people had been waiting anxiously.

“Say, are you sure they haven’t left the instance yet?” Hua Qianmei asked for the umpteenth time. Her finger tapped the table so frequently that she seemed to be extremely impatient.

Rong Jie didn’t even dare to close the friend list. He kept confirming the online status of the members of the Dawn team. “Uh, yes.”

Hua Qianmei rubbed her wine-red hair with annoyance. “What are they playing at?”

Rong Jie didn’t know how to answer for a moment and could only laugh dryly. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the movement on the friend list, and his eyes lit up with joy. “They are out!”

In fact, there was no need for him to remind her. At the same time, a server-wide announcement was refreshed on the central screen of each area, and it was extremely eye-catching.

[Server Announcement][Congratulations to the Sanctuary players for completing the ‘Strange Stories Arcade’ instance for the first time!]

Like other first pass announcements, this type of news was repeatedly announced in various worlds, but the difference was that the players soon noticed the extra note below this first pass announcement. The MVP: Dawn team.

“What? There is also an MVP? So the first pass this time is actually a team competition instance?”

“Where did the Dawn team come from? I don’t think I’ve seen them before. Did they fail to match up with a top team?”

“It is the first time I’ve seen this instance. Is it a new instance? They cleared it straight away. It seems like they have encountered a low difficulty instance. These people are really lucky.”

“Um… the difficulty of the instances in the Sanctuary shouldn’t be that low, right?”

“I don’t know about that. Even if the difficulty isn’t too low, it probably won’t be too high. But no matter what, this team is still good enough to get MVP for the first pass!”

“Come to think of it, there have indeed been a lot of teams that I haven’t heard of before. So it seems that the previous rumor might be true?”

“Huh? What gossip? Why don’t I know what you are talking about?”

“Hahaha, Brother, you aren’t well-informed. You don’t even know about it when it is spread like this. It is said that…”

As the discussions continued, Hua Qianmei had already pushed aside her chair and stood up. “Captain Rong, can you please tell me where they are?”

Rong Jie was quite aware of being a tool. “Of course, I have already sent a message.”

At the same time, discussions caused by the first pass existed in various corners.

Such broadcasts attracted many players to stop in front of the square in the E3 area of the Sanctuary.

A tall figure appeared under the shade of a tree without anyone noticing. The man who had been taking a nap with closed eyes slowly opened his eyes. His gaze fell on the words ‘Dawn team.’ He murmured, “I’ve finally waited for it. It seems that it is finally time to gather.”
