Players, Please Board the Train

Chapter 494: Voice-Controlled Seaweed

Serin, however, shook his head with a smile. "He wants to kill you. Wouldn't you be delivering yourself right to him if you actively got close? I pulled you away to save you."

The Little Girl glanced at Xu Huo. "He can kill me?"

"All the players who boarded the ship have been investigated. Their player levels are all very low."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Serin. "How did you get on board?"

Serin revealed his black wristband. "One of the ship's managers said he could offer a job to my friend. It just so happened my friend wasn't available, so I came in his place."

"But I came at just the right time. There are many people on this ship who can be developed into believers."

"Little sister, were you sincere just now when you said you wanted to join my religion?"

He said this as he walked towards the Little Girl.

Perhaps sensing danger, the Little Girl took two steps back and quickly pulled open the door. The two red wristband players who had been disguised as pursuers waiting outside immediately walked in. One of them threw something like a ball of light into the room the moment he entered. The thing exploded like a smoke grenade, pungent and blinding, instantly making people's eyes water profusely.

Xu Huo immediately put on his "Oxygen Supply." Amidst the violent coughing of several players beside him, a figure swiftly charged through the smoke directly in front of him. At almost the same moment, he felt the seaweed on the floor grab his legs like tentacles, preventing him from moving from the spot.With his feet controlled and an attack coming from the front, weighing the two sides, he could only first block the punch thrown by the red wristband player. However, the other party's strength was too great. Xu Huo was jolted backward, and before his body could right itself, the leaping red player came stomping down directly from mid-air!

It was impossible to completely break free from the seaweed's control in such a short time. He withdrew a hand to cut the seaweed beside his right leg, quickly changed his posture, and then used "Two-Half Magic Trick," buying himself a brief two seconds.

The red wristband player, having stomped on empty air and landed, was momentarily confused and dazed, but he quickly realized his body's separation was just due to a characteristic or item effect. He instantly snapped out of the illusion. By then, Xu Huo had just stood up and retreated. Before he could even steady himself, he felt something attach itself to his back. The next second, his clothes tightened violently, as if even his skin and flesh were about to be sucked away by the thing on his back!

Unable to see what was on his back, Xu Huo first tore his clothes open. Fortunately, the thing was attached to the outside of the fabric and fell off with the clothes. Looking back, it turned out to be a worm wriggling like a leech.

"Haha!" The red wristband player let out a strange laugh at this moment. A pair of metal guards were now fitted over his hands and arms. Like a tiger released from its cage, he exploded with speed and charged over again in an instant.

"Boom! Boom!" Blocking the red wristband's attacks consecutively, Xu Huo retreated to a corner of the room. The tip of his Crimson Sword stabbed into the wall, using the resistance to dissipate some of the opponent's force. He stabilized the sword with one hand and drew his water jet gun with the other, aiming it at the person in front.

However, he hadn't expected this red wristband player to be so formidable. The instant he drew the gun, the other used something like a rubber stopper to plug the muzzle. When Xu Huo pulled the trigger, the water jet that pierced through the rubber had already lost most of its lethality, turning into a meaningless stream of water.

"Crash!" A fist wind grazed his cheek and smashed into the wall behind Xu Huo. He immediately used his piano wire to loop around the red wristband player's neck, but unexpectedly, the other party didn't care about this pull at all. Ignoring the piano wire, he threw punch after punch at Xu Huo's face!

Xu Huo continuously dodged the opponent's attacks. Seizing an opening, he released an item to disrupt vision, then took a punch head-on. Using that moment, he shoved the "Real Wooden Man" directly onto the opponent's fist!

The red wristband player's body instantly stiffened. Xu Huo didn't dare delay, drawing his sword to slash at the other's neck!

"Clang!" The seemingly empty, fragile neck made a sound of clashing axes and halberds under the sword's slash. With the first strike missing, he changed to stabbing at the opponent's heart!

The protective suit worn by the red wristband player served a purpose. Although this sword thrust didn't completely pierce his heart, a large amount of blood still gushed from the wound.

Just then, the three seconds were up. The red wristband player, shocked to find himself injured, swung his hand to knock the sword away while simultaneously pulling back. However, during the time of those two attacks, Xu Huo had already placed the kite string on him. The moment the man retreated, he was pulled back again.

Although the kite string could treat a person's body like a kite to fly, it didn't change the player's actual weight. Therefore, when the red wristband player was pulled back, the punch he threw hit Xu Huo's shoulder, knocking him backward.

And Xu Huo could have dodged this punch. The reason he took it head-on was to slip "Hurt Others, Not Yourself" onto the opponent.

The red wristband player, caught by the C-grade item, sensitively realized something. The places on his body where the wire had passed suddenly overflowed with a watery, soft rubber.

This stuff had just neutralized the water jet gun's power. Xu Huo's brows furrowed. Gripping both ends of the item, he pulled hard. When the rope transformed into a blade, it sliced through the red wristband player's arms without any hindrance, then passed through his body and snapped back out.

Blood droplets shook as they fell to the ground. The red wristband player's corpse dropped to the floor. Xu Huo kicked it aside, then flung his kite string to his left side—over there, Serin had just sent the other red wristband player flying out.

The red wristband player crashed right into his kite string. Not giving the other any time to react, Xu Huo cleanly severed one of his arms.

This was originally just an attempt, but he hadn't expected the other party to not have any hard protective suit on his body. Now he wasn't polite anymore. With a horizontal sweep of his sword, he severed both legs.

The red wristband player screamed as the arriving Serin grabbed his throat. The latter looked at the former with pity. "God cannot feel the pain of the world, but He can end such pain."

After saying this, he snapped his neck.

With the two red wristband players killed, the remaining Little Girl, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, tried to escape, but the Female Player blocked the door. "You killed someone and still think you can leave?"

While Xu Huo and Serin were busy dealing with the red wristband players earlier, the Little Girl had taken the opportunity to kill one player.

The remaining three players, as if by prior agreement, blocked the doorway. The effects of the smoke grenade gradually dissipated. Under the faint light, they all saw the two red wristband players had been killed. So, this remaining little girl was nothing to fear!

The Little Girl looked at them. After a moment, she said with a cheeky grin, "I advise you to step aside. Otherwise, the one who will absolutely regret it is you!"

"Not very old, but quite the big talker!" The Female Player swung her whip, lashing out. "Let me see who regrets it!"

"Ah." The Little Girl stood in place without moving, merely opening her mouth to let out a short sound. Immediately, the Female Player's whip was knocked back by a swift black shadow. The force was so great it even pressed the Female Player's own whip back to lash her own body!

"It's the seaweed," Xu Huo clearly saw the black shadow and quickly deduced the Little Girl's characteristic. "Her voice can control the seaweed!"
