Chapter 175 - Chapter 173: The Hunt

In the chaotic room, three groups of female soldiers split into three directions and quickly searched along a certain path.

Baili Pangpang followed Molly's group, and after passing through several dorm rooms, he lowered his voice and asked in confusion:

"Why split up? Aren't we going to hunt down [Sound Hunters]? There aren't many of us to begin with, isn't it a bad idea to separate us now?"

Molly said irritably, "Dozens of people walking together, do you think we're not making enough noise? Besides, splitting up doesn't mean we'll go up one by one. Although we can grasp the pattern of spatial distortion, we still don't know the exact location of the [Sound Hunter]. If one group finds out the location of the [Sound Hunter], the other two groups can immediately flank it."

"You can't even understand such a simple principle? What's going on in your heads, you rich kids?"

Baili Pangpang pondered for a moment, "It's all because of you?"

"...Get lost."

Molly forcibly suppressed the urge to slap the fat man away, took a deep breath, and silently and quickly moved forward.

Suddenly, the girl at the front stopped, and everyone held their breath and stopped, looking around warily.

"Did you hear anything?" the girl asked, frowning.

"What's that sound?" Baili Pangpang listened carefully for a while, but still couldn't hear anything.

"The sounds of battle." A hint of doubt appeared in Molly's eyes. "Strange, the other two groups shouldn't be fighting the [Sound Hunters], so why are there sounds of battle..."

"And the sound seems to be getting closer." Azi, surrounded in the middle, gradually became serious. "Prepare for battle!"

The group took a deep breath, minimizing their noise, and gripped their weapons tightly. However, they had been trapped in Building 3 from the beginning and had no way to get real weapons from the warehouse. So, most of what they had were fruit knives and iron pipes taken from the hot water room. At first glance, they looked like a group of thugs about to have a brawl.

The sounds grew closer and closer; even Baili Pangpang could clearly hear the sounds of walls breaking and the clanging of metal against metal, interspersed with what seemed to be eerie laughter...

Baili Pangpang was taken aback. He felt like he had heard that laughter somewhere before...

Boom—!!

The wall in front of everyone suddenly exploded, and a figure surrounded by black flames was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall on the other side. Drops of blood slid from the corner of his mouth to the ground. He struggled to his feet, the flames around him flickering weakly, as if they were about to go out at any moment.

"Hehehehehehe..."

Just as that figure regained his balance, another enormous figure appeared before him with lightning speed, swinging out an exaggeratedly large sword once more, aiming straight for his waist!

Clang—!!

The black flame straight blade collided with the decapitation sword, producing a loud bang. Immediately afterwards, the body of the madman Cao Yuan was once again blasted through the wall and crashed into another room.

The headless man's figure flickered and he followed him inside again.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the headless man remained oblivious to the presence of the dozen or so people around him, as if the black enemy before him had captured all his attention.

Those who witnessed the whole thing gaped in disbelief.

"Holy crap, isn't that Cao Yuan?!" Baili Pangpang's eyes widened.

"He... he fought the [Sound Hunter] one-on-one with such a huge commotion, and he hasn't been cut in half yet?" Azi was truly shocked by this scene. "And judging from the way they're fighting, it seems like they've been fighting for a long time."

"That's incredibly aggressive!"

"No wonder he's a man who can dominate the instructor!"

"What do we do now?"

Azi pondered for a moment, "Quietly follow them, and at the same time notify the other two groups to come here as well. Having someone who can fight the [Sound Hunters] head-on to draw their fire is a huge advantage for us!"

"Okay!"

Everyone followed in the footsteps of the two monsters, except for Baili Pangpang, who lagged behind, looking around and scratching his head in confusion.

"Strange, Cao Yuan is here, where is Qi Ye...?"

After looking for a while, he still couldn't see Lin Qiye, so he could only shake his head and follow the others forward.

The madman Cao Yuan and the headless man broke through two more dorm rooms. Of course, saying they broke through meant that Cao Yuan was actually just being beaten up one-sidedly. Just as Lin Qiye had predicted, Cao Yuan's mental strength was not enough to sustain his mad state for long, and his combat power had now decreased significantly compared to the beginning.

He used to be able to fight the headless man head-on for a few rounds, but now he's basically cut down with a single blow. If it weren't for his extreme speed and strong survivability, he would have been cut in half long ago.

However, within just a few minutes, almost all the female soldiers had ambushed the two of them. There were even some others who had come in with Lin Qiye earlier and got lost in Building 3. After being discovered by the female soldiers, they were pulled into the group, bringing the total to about seventy people.

Zhang Xiaoxiao's mental network reconnected everyone, and on this mental platform, which was even more convenient than radio, Azi quickly devised a battle plan.The madman Cao Yuan was sent flying by the headless man's blow. Covered in wounds, he lay in the ruins, his murderous aura gradually fading.

He struggled to support himself on the ground with his hands, seemingly trying to stand up, but this time, it seemed he couldn't.

In the brief silence, the headless man dragged his decapitation sword and walked step by step toward Cao Yuan.

"Let's do it!"

Azi's voice echoed in everyone's minds.

The next moment, more than a dozen figures flashed out from the rooms on both sides, and completely different forbidden ruins unfolded at the same time!

The headless man's decapitation blade trembled slightly and began to float upwards. At the same time, the dragging sound stopped abruptly, and the headless man's figure paused, his speed slowing down considerably, as if someone had pressed a slow-motion button. It took him more than ten seconds to take a single step.

As expected!

Azi's eyes lit up. Since the [Sound Hunter] feeds on sound, then its heavy sword is not only for severing at the waist, but also for constantly using the dragging sound to enhance itself. As long as the decapitation sword is lifted off the ground and the sound is kept below a certain decibel level, killing it will be a piece of cake!

Immediately afterwards, the other figures silently drifted towards the headless man, each holding their own killing moves, their eyes filled with murderous intent!

Just then, the surrounding rooms trembled slightly and began to malfunction again...

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat!

As the surrounding rooms moved rapidly, Azi's eyes flashed with deep astonishment, because she discovered that this spatial distortion was completely different from the previous patterns!

In other words... her prediction was wrong.

As the surrounding rooms gradually stabilized, everyone realized that the space was not disordered, but rather... returned to its original state.

The familiar dormitory room, the continuous corridor, the bright sunshine outside the corridor... the original chaos seemed to be just an illusion.

The three buildings have been restored to their original appearance.
