Thriller Paradise

Chapter 423: 423

The circular blood waterfall, rose into the sky like it was falling against gravity. The murderous aura was like waves crashing over everyone in the radius of the blood lake. The players who were gathered around the lake had retreated far away and they observed the proceeding cautiously.

Soon, the blood waterfall started to dwindle and shrunk back to a spot. And the giant blood zombie… had disappeared without a trace.

When Blood-crazy Shade used his skill, the Blood Zombie was still standing in the middle of the blood circle but in a mere 10 seconds, the large object was like a prop in a magic trick, it disappeared once the curtain of blood fell from the sky.

“Ah…” Blood-crazy Shade stood by the lake and yawned with satisfaction. At that moment, he was using his second ‘mouth’ to suck at the lake water and the mangled carcasses in the water. This half snake half human monster did not use the mouth at his head for any ingesting function. At his stomach, the part where the human body was joined to the snake half, there was a strange gap. After it opened, a black hole would appear and it would suck the blood and soul of those who had lost their power of resistance.

“Ha… This city is truly a treasure island…” Blood-crazy Shade soon sucked the lake dry, not even leaving one drop behind. “Every drop of blood here is booming with dark energy and the concentration is high… within the monster’s flesh and blood…” At this point, the red exoskeleton over his body started to glow. “if I can suck the energy from this whole city, perhaps I might be deified…” Greed appeared in blood-crazy Shade’s eyes. But… that only lasted for 2 seconds before it turned into surprise and… fear.

“How is this possible… Why is it here?!” The pupils in the snake eyes shrunk to become two thin lines. When he got a closer glimpse of the approaching figure, his first reaction was to turn and return. The blood-crazy shade turned around, leaned his body close to the ground and used his snake body to slither away. He was the fastest creature among the 9 Phantoms so when he put his mind into it, he could manage impossible speed. His body morphed into a slithering shadow and swam towards the middle of the city like lightning…

…

At the southern-west side of the city, on the main street. A fire truck with orange-yellow coating and various strange looking devices attached to it was driving down the road. Wang Tanzhi was at the driver seat of Golden Maggot Number 1 and drove carefully. Feng Bujue though placed his hands over his head, crossed his legs and ‘laid’ easily in the co-pilot seat. Behind them was the ‘gunner turret’. The spot had the most lever and buttons and it was manned by Matcha Cookie.

“Brother Jue, going down the main street will attract too much attention…” As Xiao Tan drove, he looked around, “Such a conspicuous vehicle moving down an empty street… even if the other players didn’t spot us, the NPC and monsters will be attracted to our way.” He paused. “You haven’t forgotten about what happened to Fugu Gladiator Number 1, did you?”

“I say… What is this ‘Fugu Gladiator Number 1’?” Before Feng Bujue could reply, Matcha Cookie could not help but chime in.

“Just from the name, you should know it is a battle robot.” Feng Bujue answered.

“Just from the name, I could barely imagine how it would look like…” Matcha Cookie sighed before she asked another question, “Then what was the tragedy that happened to it?”

“Actually it was nothing serious…” Feng Bujue casually changed the subject, “What Xiao Tan meant was, being inside such a big vehicle, it’s greatly possible that we might become target of heavy artillery attack.”

“I can’t disagree with that.” Matcha Cookie narrowed her eyes and looked at Feng Bujue back. “That is the biggest drawback from taking this vehicle…”

“QIe… Walking will have its drawback as well. In any case, I feel, taking a vehicle has more pros than cons.” Feng Bujue replied, “At least for now, we can save our Stamina Points and we can use the artillery on Golden Maggot No. 1 to deal with all the small monsters along the way. Be it from safety concern or proceeding speed, they have both increased tremendously with this vehicle.”

“Fine… then what is the next step of your plan?” Matcha Cookie asked, “We’re going around to clear away the monsters in this thing? Have you forgotten the main goal of this scenario is to kill other players to score point?”

“Haven’t I told you already…” Feng Bujue said, “The next step of the plan will be decided, when we reach the source of that ‘sonar blast’.”

Just as Matcha Cookie was about to grumble about Brother Jue’s lack of planning, suddenly…

“Ah!” Xiao Tan screamed and stepped on the brake.

Feng Bujue’s first reaction was—to move his hands behind his head to grab at the seat behind him. At the same time, he curled up his legs to step on the control panel behind him. Based on his lightning reflex, after the sudden brake, Brother Jue was not budge even an inch.

Matcha Cookie was not that lucky. She was jostled forward and her forehead knocked into the back of chair before her. It was not that bad, it only cost her 5 percent Life Points loss or she would have jumped out the car at that moment.

“What was that for?!” Matcha Cookie groused loudly. At the same time, she lifted his head, and looked forward through the gap between the two front seats. This look caused her Terror Points to shoot up.

About 2 meters before the truck, a curious figure stood. It was a brown-haired woman about 30. The skin that was exposed outside her clothes, including her face, neck and hands were covered in stitches. Her eyes and mouth were sewn shut.

“What the fuck… that was scary…” Xiao Tan was covered in cold sweat and his heartbeat jumped to 180. That was because the Repentant appeared too suddenly like a banshee in the horror movies. Combine that with her appearance, it was impossible not to get scared.

“Travellers from another world…” The Repentant’s voice echoed in the player’s ears. Her eyes and lips were sewn so naturally her lips couldn’t move but that did not affect her power of sight and speech.

“Did… you guys hear that?” Xiao Tan’s body was covered in goosebumps.

“Of course~” Feng Bujue was the calmest of them all. He replied weakly and glanced at Xiao Tan with condescension. “And how are you one of the top 50 finalists… When you kill people, you look so normal but when you run into anything remotely supernatural, you look like you’re going to pee your pants.” He turned around as he pointed at Xiao Tan with his thumb, he told Matcha Cookie. “Don’t worry, during an actual battle, this kid wouldn’t…”

Brother Jue did not finish because Matcha Cookie’s face was white at that moment and she was frozen in her seat. The head injury from earlier was already forgotten.

“Sigh…” Feng Bujue sighed. He opened the door and walked out towards the Repentant. With his hands in his pockets, he stood at ease and asked, “Sorry… how can I help you?” Brother Jue ignored the Repentant’s appearance. Since she volunteered to communicate with the players, then it meant she was a communicable NPC. Even if he couldn’t get anything from her, at least Brother Jue intended to get some information from her.
