Chapter 1699: Chapter 1699
(Wait a moment to modify) The player who was originally fleeing was using props to move between floors, not expecting to step on 101. This type of metal prop from the game he couldn’t break through, and then he saw Xu Huo beside him, aiming a crossbow arrow at him!
The crossbow arrow wasn’t a physical arrow, but a kind of semi-transparent ice that melted quickly after piercing into the wall!
"The person I’m looking for isn’t you." Xu Huo stated his position, and because of this momentary delay, the player pursuing had already come down from the floor above, but just as a pair of feet appeared, a strange force knocked him away, opening a deep trench in the ceiling until he came to a stop at the wall.
The next second, two people and a stone lion fell to the floor where Xu Huo and the others were.
"Da Mao, attack!" Yan Jiayu called for the stone lion to pounce while taking out a muscle doll sticker and placing it on her face, instantly boosting her speed to that of an uncatchable cannonball, slamming into the person by the wall!
The player obviously didn’t take her head-on combat style seriously; with a pat on the shoulder, a blue light arc immediately expanded in front of him. With the light arc protecting him, he didn’t even spare Yan Jiayu a glance, but focused his attention on the circling stone lion running towards him.
However, just as he was preparing to free up his hands to deal with the stone lion, Yan Jiayu, this living bomb, crashed into him—not sure if she had other invisible defense props, but as her body hit the light arc, she forced the player through the wall, causing cracks to appear on the light arc!
"What!" The opponent couldn’t hide his shock, then was thrust into the building’s outer wall, rebounding off a barrier that sealed him on the wall surface.
As the force recipient, Yan Jiayu wasn’t as embarrassed as him; she landed steadily in the middle of the room, waving the Demon-Subduing Pestle and attacking wildly!
"Bang bang bang" a few sounds fell, a shield prop was cracked, making the player hurriedly dodge. After temporarily limiting Yan Jiayu’s speed using characteristics, he dashed toward Xu Huo’s side!
His real target was the government player who hadn’t fled yet, but halfway there, a cold gleam swept from the side!
The pursuing player quickly sidestepped, and as he raised his hand, dozens of cowhair needles shot out from his sleeve.
Unable to use the air barrier temporarily, Xu Huo simply placed Shelter 101 in front and retrieved it while attacking, simultaneously using "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance".
The player immediately felt the effects of the props on his body, and as he pressed on his sleeve, the clothes he wore stood and closed like scales, with the color of his clothes changing and then returning to normal, leaving no sign of fatigue on his face!
Yan Jiayu and the stone lion came to assist, a lazy Da Mao received a smack on the rump, immediately venting all its anger on the pursuing player, pushing and shoving, causing this person to retreat step by step.
"The vase’s effect!" The pursuing player threw a cushion onto the ground, causing Da Mao to slip and step on it, one claw fixed on the ground.
But it didn’t have much use, as the violence-driven stone lion directly shoveled a hole from the ground. Unable to escape the cushion, it took the floor with it.
Da Mao was hard to deal with, Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were also relentless, with Yan Jiayu engaging in close combat, Xu Huo assisting with props, occasionally taking the opportunity to attack upfront, causing damage on both sides in the three-minute encounter.
Looking up, Xu Huo headed upstairs, and upon reaching the third floor, he sensed someone rapidly descending from the center of the building. In a split second of entering an office floor, he placed Shelter 101 directly below!
The fleeing player was originally using props to move between floors, not expecting to step on 101. This type of metal prop from the game he couldn’t break through, and then he saw Xu Huo beside him, aiming a crossbow arrow at him!
The crossbow arrow wasn’t a physical arrow, but a kind of semi-transparent ice that melted quickly after piercing into the wall!
"The person I’m looking for isn’t you." Xu Huo stated his position, and because of this momentary delay, the player pursuing had already come down from the floor above, but just as a pair of feet appeared, a strange force knocked him away, opening a deep trench in the ceiling until he came to a stop at the wall.
The next second, two people and a stone lion fell to the floor where Xu Huo and the others were.

Almost instantly, Xu Huo realized that whether it was the hat player or the Golden-Eyed Player, both had developed their characteristics to a certain degree. "Unable to attack the referee on the arena" felt more like a rule force, just like "Truth Above All".
At the same time, they chose to retreat, Xu Huo and the Golden-Eyed Player each retreated to their compartments. One after another, they opened up the doors behind them and extended to other compartments. Unfortunately, this "arena" seemed to already cover the entire train, with red smoke covering the ground behind the Golden-Eyed Player, while black smoke was behind Xu Huo.
With a light chuckle, he took off his headphones and looked at the hat player, "Are you idle?"
"Alas," the hat player sighed theatrically, "Who made me choose this profession? I can’t help but want to help when I see people fighting."
"But you don’t have to worry; before you decide the winner, I absolutely won’t intervene in your fight. Another advantage is that while you are fighting, no other player on the train can interfere with the duel."
"In other words, on this arena, you are protected from any attacks by other players."
"What does it mean to be unable to interfere with the duel?" The female player with the fire-borrowing quickly responded, "We’re already in the arena; are we saying we can’t even defend ourselves?"
"Self-defense is possible," the hat player kindly explained, "but these two are the members of the arena competition. Even if you stand on the arena, you must wait for them to finish fighting. Simply put, your attacks cannot hurt anyone."
This statement caused the players in the front and rear compartments to change their faces sharply; immediately, someone tried to attack the hat player or others, but without exception, all were blocked by a barrier. Unlike Xu Huo’s situation where they were enclosed, they were trapped in a small circle and could move but couldn’t attack others. Whether props or characteristics, their attacks would be blocked.
"What does this mean!" Someone couldn’t help but say, "We’re about to pass through an alien activity zone, are we meant to sit and wait for death?"
Whether it was players intending to murder amidst the chaos or hijackers planning to do something else at night, the hat player’s "arena competition" opened without doubt caught them off guard.
Most players on the train were Rank-C, who had seen many strange and peculiar characteristics, but they hadn’t seen anything so unreasonable!
"Everyone, please calm down," the hat player maintained his demeanor, kindly explaining to everyone, "Although the arena prevents you from attacking others, it’s also a protection for you. Everyone can watch a fair and just match peacefully, isn’t that good?"
