Tokumon suddenly left the team. Before Zong Jiu could say anything, he turned around and saw the Black Cloak holding the scythe flying straight toward him. He chose his side without hesitation at the fork in the road.
Zong Jiu:???
Seeing this, the bullet screen in the livestream room retreated.
[What's going on? This is the first time I've seen someone give up on Tokumon and chase after someone else. Sorry for the disrespect.jpg]
[Is there something wrong with this Ghost King's brain? I've heard about Tokumon's heroic deeds a long time ago. For example, when the Holy Sanctum invited him to a dungeon, the setting of the dungeon seemed to be the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave. In the end, the ghosts didn't kill the healer. Instead, they all rushed to Tokumon.]
[Upstairs, it seems like we've heard the same rumor. It's actually very normal. Just like how vampires can usually survive to the end in supernatural dungeons, choosing a special class or bloodline is also a matter of knowledge.]
[Tokumon: I never thought that there would be someone more unlucky than me.jpg]
[So … am I the only one wondering how the Magician provoked this Ghost King?]
Not to mention the bullet screen, the trainees led by Zong Jiu were also confused.
Xu Su was dumbfounded. "What's going on? Why does it seem like the Grim Reaper has locked onto us?"
After running for four streets, everyone in the team was tired.
As a result, when everyone took the time to look back, they saw that the huge scythe was floating not far behind them. Its hood was only a few feet away from them. Fog mixed with black particles gushed out wildly from the scythe, turning all the lanterns hanging in the surroundings into ghostly blue flames. Their vision was suddenly filled with darkness.
"Ahhhh, stop talking, Xu Su. Run faster, it's catching up!"
Another newbie was so scared that his skateboard shoes slid forward as fast as he could.
Fortunately, they had secretly rented a skating rink in the trainee dormitory. Every day, they checked in at a fixed time and practiced hard on their skating skills. Otherwise, they would have been caught.
On the other hand, Zong Jiu, who was on the skateboard, felt that something was wrong.
Of course, even a magician would not be able to see through the black fog on the hood to see who the Ghost King was.
But for some reason, Zong Jiu had a vague premonition in his heart.
This Grim Reaper might be coming for him.
However, the problem was that Zong Jiu did not remember having any grudges with the Ghost King.
Not to mention that the Ghost King had never appeared in the Rainbow Amusement Park before, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to match the temperament of any of the dolls in Zong Jiu's head.
Zong Jiu could tell that the Grim Reaper was surrounded by an unstoppable aura of death. It was precisely because of this that he felt even more puzzled.
However, this did not stop Zong Jiu from making the right decision.
The white-haired youth whispered, "Let's split up first."
"Xu Su, take the Yin-Yang Talisman that Tokumon gave you and take a shortcut to meet up with him."
After running for so long, not only were they panting, but they also looked tired.
If this continued, the consequences would not be good.
"What about you, Brother Jiu?"
Xu Su's first reaction wasn't to ask if he could lead this team of rookies to take a shortcut to find No. 10. Instead, he noticed that Zong Jiu didn't seem to have any intention of bringing them along.
"What? Are you worried about me? "
Zong Jiu snorted and slowly pulled out his hand from his pocket.
In the magician's slender and pale hand, a few poker cards with white edges appeared like magic. Each card shone faintly in the night sky.
These were the cards that Zong Jiu had spent a lot of money to create in the main system. They could deal additional damage to supernatural entities.
Indeed, there was no need for a C-level trainee to be worried about an A-level trainee.
As if he thought of something, Xu Su touched his nose and his eyes dimmed.
However, it was only for a moment before he returned to his usual energetic self.
Xu Su had always been clear-headed when it came to this. Although he did not know why Brother Jiu suddenly wanted to split up the team, since Brother Jiu said so, he would listen and not ask.
"Brother Jiu, be careful! I'll take them with me! "
The other newbies did not have many objections to this plan. Speaking of team leaders, Tokumon was actually the team leader. Zong Jiu's goal was to remove No. 2's puppet line. Everyone knew that he could leave the team at any time.
"Okay." Zong Jiu nodded and said lightly, "See you at the safe house."
Strangely enough, they did not know if it was the Ghost King's aura of death. They had just run through the entire Rainbow Amusement Park, but they did not see another ghost along the way.
This was really strange. The main system had released three hundred Halloween ghosts. Each of them had their own hunting range which covered the entire park. They had just passed through at least seven or eight ghost hunting circles. They did not expect the ghosts to be as quiet as chickens.
Was this the Ghost King's aura?
Unfortunately, the situation was too urgent for them to think further.
Ten seconds later, the team split up again at the fork in the road.
Sure enough, the Grim Reaper, wrapped in a black fog, once again chose the path that the white-haired youth had taken.
The road that Zong Jiu chose was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. Colorful lanterns were hanging from the ceiling, and the trees were sparkling with golden fluorescent lights, dazzling the eyes.
He turned his head and caught a glimpse of the Grim Reaper's wide black robe. The hood was dark and gloomy.
Magician narrowed his eyes and glanced at the railing not far away. He leaped up with the skateboard under his feet.
The white-haired youth's movements were nimble. He used the gap in the center of the skateboard to hold on to the iron railing as he slid down the stairs.
At the same time, the cold wind brought by the poker card whizzed past, piercing the huge floating cloak in the air.
The cards, which had been enhanced by the supernatural, emitted an ear-piercing burning sound when they entered the black fog. Surrounded by the unknown black particles, they spontaneously combusted in the air. Then, they were wrapped into a black ball by the thicker fog and disappeared.
Zong Jiu was not discouraged by the failure of his attack.
This was the only Ghost King in the entire amusement park. If he could defeat it so easily, he would not be able to survive.
But for some reason, Zong Jiu felt that the Ghost King was strangely familiar.
Especially when he was alone, he even felt that the Grim Reaper did not use all his strength. Instead, the Grim Reaper flew behind him at a leisurely pace. It was like a qualified hunter, letting the prey run and waiting for the prey to run out of energy before picking it up.
Zong Jiu stepped on the skateboard and slid down the track. He entered a small path and reached into his Backpack to grab his tarot card.
He wanted to find out why the Ghost King was chasing after him so relentlessly.
Soon, Zong Jiu knew why.
The white-haired Magician looked at the devil card in his hand and gritted his teeth.
At the same time, a mocking chuckle sounded behind his ear.
"I'm going to catch you, little Magician."
.....
On the other hand, Xu Su also encountered a big problem.
He led a few newbies to take a shortcut to find Tokumon.
Without the protection of Level A and Level S, the newbies were a little nervous and did not dare to breathe loudly.
This team of rookies was the first batch of people who had followed Zong Jiu in the Barren Village dungeon. Some of them would forever remain in the group dungeon, while the rest were basically Rank C like Xu Su. They were considered the best among the rookies.
"Strange, why is the Grim Reaper chasing after Brother Jiu?"
They ran past the fork and looked back to find that the Magician and the Grim Reaper had disappeared.
Xu Su scratched his head. "Let's go find the Onmyoji first. It's only one block away from here. Let's not waste time."
The main reason was that they were not far away. If they ran far away, Zong Jiu would not feel safe leaving them behind.
At that moment, the main system finally announced the address of the next safe house.
[Second safe house: Haunted house. Effective time limit: 50 minutes]
"It's a haunted house!"
The trainees in the park shouted in unison.
There were many haunted houses in the Rainbow Amusement Park. Out of the eleven districts, eight of them had haunted houses with different themes.
The newbies who were running looked at the map and exclaimed, "We're only half a block away from the pirate ship's haunted house. Should we go to the safe house and wait for Tokumon?"
Unfortunately, the pirate ship was going in the opposite direction from the fork. They were obviously closer to the haunted house.
Xu Su took the time to take a glance. Sure enough, just at the edge of this square, a huge dilapidated pirate ship was silently by the sea. The mast above was tattered, and a huge black skull flag was hanging on it. The cabin was still brightly lit, and that group of vicious pirates seemed to be preparing for a gluttonous feast.
Xu Su looked back at the dark road and then at the pirate ship.
He raised the camera in his hand and took two pictures of the pirate ship. The pictures that were developed from the top were flat, and there was only darkness in them. On the contrary, the pictures developed from the fork they originally planned to go to had a few ominous dark green blobs in them.
Looking at the two pictures, Xu Su gritted his teeth. "Okay, let's go to the safe house first."
With the strength of the Yin Yang Masters, there was naturally no need to worry about whether they could reach the safe house. On the other hand, if they turned back, they might not necessarily run into Tokumon. If they encountered a ghost, they didn't know if the special items in their hands would be enough.
Perhaps it was because of luck, they ran across the square without any mishaps.
Xu Su successfully led the newbies to the pirate ship.
When they arrived, there was already another team on the pirate ship.
Xu Sen, who was promoted to Grade A, stood on the deck of the pirate ship with his team, each of them with a serious expression.
"Xu —"
Unfortunately, Xu Su couldn't see this scene through the night sky.
When he saw Xu Sen, he subconsciously wanted to show a big smile, but the hand that he reached out to greet him slowly stopped as if he remembered something.
The people on the deck heard a familiar voice and turned their heads.
At that moment, the expression on Xu Sen's face froze.
He didn't care about the current situation on the deck and jumped straight down from the high hull. The magic book in his hand quickly flipped through the pages.
However, all of this was nothing compared to the dark brown lasso flying from the sky.
Xu Su, who was still smiling, was immediately dragged away by the lasso wrapped around his neck.
