Chapter 517: Reclaiming the Dungeon
The explosion injured all three of them. Since Whale had thrown Hugo out first, Hugo was the least injured. He leaned against the wall to stand up, his arm scraping against the wall surface. The pathogens that were gradually corroding his body began to spread wantonly along the wall.
Xu Huo, who had already changed his appearance, glanced at the time on his watch. Holding the item "Director's Prerogative," he called out through the slightly opened door to the people ahead, "Cut!"
"Director's Prerogative" was a memory-erasing item that could make people forget the events of the previous ten minutes without them noticing. He had timed it precisely, activating it just before he made his move to seize Hugo's severed hand. The subsequent battlefield had shifted too quickly, and despite the intense fighting, the actual time consumed wasn't much.
This item wasn't high-level. It could fail if players carried items that countered its effects. However, the battle had already reached a fever pitch, and these high-level players had consumed too many of their items, especially Hugo and Whale. In the heat of combat, they might not have replenished the corresponding counter-items. He was betting on that possibility, a safety net measure.
After using the item, he opened the door again and appeared behind Hugo, swinging his sword at his neck.
But a sudden change occurred at this moment. Hugo seemed to have sensed it in advance. The "Dirty Syringe Needle" appeared in his hand again, and he turned to shoot it in his direction!
That thing carried a virulent poison that could even contaminate metal. Xu Huo feinted an attack and retreated. Bai Kou, who had moved in from the rear to fill the position, cleanly snapped Hugo's neck.
"Hugo!" Whale roared from not far away, charging toward them frantically. At this moment, Xu Huo picked up his pen and used his characteristic "The Power of Writing," capturing everyone's attention before saying, "You can come to me for any difficulty."
After saying this, he immediately judged that the present individuals had cleared the dungeon. After banishing them back to the ship at the first opportunity, he nodded to Bai Kou. "I'm leaving first."
