Chapter 284: Cat and mouse game (Part 1)

  Chapter 284 Cat and mouse game

   "Oh hoo!"

   Mu You was pleasantly surprised when he saw the newly dropped items.

   Originally, he had already given up hope for the thief's drop, but he didn't expect that a golden legend would actually explode for him!

  【You saw the strange thief resurrected at the intersection ahead, and charged towards you again. 】

[You have received a "Phantom Thief Appointment Letter": Phantom Thief Fan Lun Justin took a fancy to the "Phantom Thief Mask" that you just bought, and he will start stealing the mask in 11 hours, which will last for 30 minutes. During this period, the The mask cannot be bound, the plane cannot be transferred, and the space item cannot be stored, and the strange thief Fan Lun Justin can know the location of the mask at any time...]

   A few seconds after picking up the new equipment, a new appointment letter popped up in the game.

Mu You knew at a glance that this guy must have discovered that his most important equipment had been exploded after being resurrected. He was impatient and activated the appointment ability on him without thinking. The purpose was to lock the mask first to prevent being Muyou transfer.

   This guy deliberately set the time for the theft to be half a day later. It should be because he couldn't steal on the spot after the appointment was sent out, and he had to stagger a certain time difference for people to prepare.

   And soon to enter the extreme cold time on the fourth floor, he can't act during this time, so he can only postpone it until the next comfort period half a day later.

  Knowing the other party's intentions, Mu You naturally wouldn't let him go as he wished, so he decisively went back in time, and clicked on the text of 'Phantom Thief Mask' before the other party's appointment letter was sent out.

  A hard mask with an ordinary appearance appeared in Mu You's hand.

The appearance of this mask is a red and white fox face, and there are no colors that represent quality around it, and it can't even be seen as a piece of equipment. The information fed back by the omniscient crystal is only "an ordinary mask". Words, obviously this thing, like the phantom wand, has undergone special treatment.

  However, this mask is bound to the skin, and you must have the skin of the monster thief to use it. Mu You can't use it for the time being, so you can only put it away first.

  In the game, after extracting the mask, the reminder of the appointment letter did not appear again.

  【You see the strange thief brandishing a weapon, rushing towards you recklessly, you choose...】

   "Turn around and run away."

  The Hunger Gem hasn't been brought back yet, but I've already got something more important. I'm not afraid that this strange thief won't come looking for him.

Instead, Mu You should run away first, because the time limit of the Dark Realm is about to end. Once they leave the Dark Realm and lose their home court advantage, the strength of the two will reverse instantly. Naturally, they have to take advantage of the last time in the Dark Realm , Hurry up and pull away.

  【You chose to turn around and run away...】

  【You run away with all your strength, and the strange thief chases after you desperately. The strange thief's agility attribute is higher than yours, and the distance between you is quietly closing. 】

  【You heard the footsteps of octopus soldiers in front of you, and there seems to be patrolling personnel approaching the corner ahead, you choose...】

  【You chose to move on! 】

  【You heard the strange thief secretly cursed 'crazy', and then he stopped by the wall, and hastily fell into an invisible state. 】

  【You stopped when you were about to cross the corner, entered cell No. 4501, and changed the prison sentence to: 1 day. 】

  【The octopus soldiers walked past your cell, didn't notice any abnormalities, and walked away slowly. 】

  【You escaped the search of the octopus soldiers, but you were also trapped in the cell. Now unlock the door and go out, you will be noticed by the octopus soldiers who have not gone far, and the strange thief will appear again to chase you, you choose...】

  【Escape from the cell and continue to escape】, 【Stay in the cell and wait for a duel with the opponent】.

   Of the two options, Mu You didn't choose either, but directly quit the game.

  Compared with the aborigines on the opposite side, this is the biggest advantage that players have: they can go offline at any time if they can't fight. There are two worlds online and offline, and this offline will cut everything clean.

  In the pet shop, Mu You got offline and had nothing to do, so he put away his phone and went downstairs.

  There are no customers in the store at this time, because Friday is the rest day scheduled by the pet store, and only tickets for the morning are sold.

   Mu You went downstairs and saw that Xiaoya was feeding the chocobos in the zoo, while Lin Xue was at the front desk, concentrating on making secret art cards.

   "You seem to be in a good mood?" Hearing the movement, Lin Xue looked up to see Mu You who was walking down the bend. Seeing the smile on his mouth and his relaxed look, she knew that something must have happened.

"There is a good equipment in the game." Of course Mu You is in a good mood. Legendary equipment is a real rare item, and Mu You has also seen the effect of this equipment. The ability to switch with the avatar at any time is enough to use it well. Decay is magical.

   "Oh? What equipment?" Lin Xue asked.

   Mu You didn't hide anything, and briefly talked to her about the effects of the equipment he just bought. Lin Xue also knew about his sneaking into the submarine prison.

   "What about you? How's the mission going?" Mu You asked Lin Xue. She had previously received the inheritance mission of the death scythe, and she has been doing missions near the dark city recently.

   "It's a bit difficult. This seems to be a series of tasks. I've just finished the first part... hmm."

  As Lin Xue said, the secret technique card in her hand suddenly burst into a gleam of light, dissipating in her hand like a gorgeous firework, which was a symbol of failure in making the secret technique card.

   "New card this week?" Mu You asked.

  In Thursday's meeting, Lin Xue got a low-level soul-type scroll 'Soul Fire', which she has transformed into a secret card at noon today, and is now making a copy.

   "Well, it really wasn't easy, this is already the fifth failure today..." Lin Xue shook her head and sighed.

In fact, her card-making stability is already the highest among all mystics except Mu You, but every time she makes a card, she still needs a lot of luck. When she is lucky, she can go smoothly within five attempts. If you do it, you may be stuck for several days if you are unlucky.

   "Let me come!" Mu You said.

   "Okay." Lin Xue handed him a card.

Mu You took a look, this soul fire, the name of the converted black magic has not changed, and the effect has hardly changed. It still ignites the soul fire for a target and gains the opponent's vision, but the duration has been extended to 5 hours. Moreover, the soul fire of the secret technique version cannot be dispelled, which is equivalent to forcibly gaining a person's vision. Even if the other party knows that someone is watching, there is nothing they can do, and the practicality is greatly improved.

  This spell might be useful to deal with that monster later, so Mu You had nothing to do at this time, so he simply asked for a card and copied it himself.

  Mu You took care of the card leisurely here, but in the submarine prison, the strange thief Fan Lun Justin was having a hard time.

  He didn't know why he was so unlucky today. He stole something and hit a wall again and again, failed three times in a row with a black magic, and was killed by someone in the end!

   It’s okay to be killed once. He has been a strange thief for so many years, and he has died before. However, who would have thought that such a rare death would just explode the most precious treasure in his body!

The Phantom Thief Mask is one of his core equipment. To him, it is equivalent to a guy who eats. If this kind of thing is picked up by someone, he will never let it go. **** back.

  The man disappeared after hiding in the cell just now, but the strange thief is very sure that the jailer has not discovered this person. It is very likely that he is still hiding in the cell, but he has been hidden in some way.

  In order to avoid letting the other party escape, he could only ambush nearby, staring at the prison cell ahead with his eyes wide open, not daring to blink his eyelids.

   Fortunately, Mu You didn't make him wait too long, and got online in time after five o'clock.

  Five o'clock in reality is about seven o'clock on the opposite side of the game. At this time, the comfort period on the fourth floor is almost over, and it will enter the extremely cold night time.

  The strange thief was worried that Mu Youjuanbao would run away, and Mu You was also worried that the other party would be discouraged by the weather on the fourth floor. His hunger gem was still on the other party, so he had to go online in time to make a break with the other party.

  【You appear in cell 4501 of the submarine prison. 】

  【With a click, you successfully unlocked the cell door. 】

  【You used the troll shrine, summoned two ordinary trolls, and ordered one of the trolls to get out of the cell. 】

  【The troll was struck by lightning from the octopus statue opposite, and fell to the ground, dying. 】

  【The alarm sounded, but no octopus soldiers came nearby. The octopus jailers also had to stop patrolling during the extreme cold and heat of the night and day. 】

  The harsh environment on the fourth floor is unbearable even for the octopus soldiers. They only work for four hours a day during the comfortable period.

   In other words, the entire fourth floor is now in an unattended state, and there is no need to be cautious in the next action.

  【You walked out of the cell as if no one else was around. 】

  【You stepped into an assassination trap and fell into a state of being unable to move. 】

  【Phantom Thief Fan Lun flashed behind you, and launched a 'Backstab', 'Night Murder', 'Blow Out Hidden' on you...]

  【You are seriously injured...】

   Mu You guessed that the monster would probably guard the upper line point here, but he was still taken aback by the opponent's high explosive power. As expected of a professional thief, this set of assassination methods is perfect, using seven or eight assassination spells in one second, Mu You's blood volume instantly bottomed out.

   Mu You hurriedly went back, and this time released a 'life barrier' in the cell first, and then walked out.

  【Phantom Thief Fan Lun flashed out again and launched various assassination methods against you, your HP dropped rapidly...】

  【Just when the opponent was about to kill you, the life barrier appeared to help you block the fatal attack, and you entered an immortal state for five seconds. 】

  【You released the 'Executioner' and entered the state of overlord. 】

  【You used the refresh badge, all magic cooldowns are restored. 】

  【You released the Dark Realm again, forcing the surroundings into a state of midnight. You are equipped with the Berserker's Shout, gaining extra strength and physique bonuses, and your attributes skyrocket! 】

  【You have activated the Shout of Berserk and the Vampiric Aura at the same time, and each of your attacks can convert 125% of the damage you cause into health...】

  The other party attacked directly in the face, and Mu You was not polite. He used all the skills he could activate, and instantly entered the strongest form. With the addition of Executioner, Battle Fury and vampire skin, his strength is now as high as 168 points! With more than 16,000 HP and 125% blood sucking, even in the extremely cold environment at midnight, the HP will only increase!

On the other hand, the strange thief is miserable. He obviously didn't expect Muyou to have a rogue move like life barrier at all. He carefully prepared a set of explosions, all of which hit the cotton, and at this time Muyou's attributes were better than the last time he killed him. Sometimes it is even more outrageous, the life of the monster thief disappears piece by piece like evaporation.

  By the time the strange thief reacted and prepared to escape, it was already too late.

  【You hacked to death the phantom thief Fan Lun Justin with an axe, experience points +19, life span +1, obtained thief skin fragment*1, and found the ‘Smart Boots’ at the place where the other party died. 】

   Successfully counter-killed the opponent, and coincidentally broke out the Boots of Dexterity again, but this time Mu You was not in a hurry to go back.

  The value of the Hunger Gem is the highest, yes, but it does not add attributes. Next, he will continue to fight with the opponent, and he must give priority to reducing the opponent's combat power.

   And these boots are good. Although they are only excellent equipment, they provide five points of agility and 10% movement speed.

  Combined with the Phantom Thief Mask that exploded just now, it is equivalent to the opponent's agility has been reduced by 25 points, and an additional tenth of the speed has been reduced.

   And the attributes of the boots can be counted on Mu You himself, one goes up and down, and then he is much more calm whether he is chasing down the opponent or running away.

  【Phantom Thief Fan Lun was resurrected at a distant intersection, and did not continue to charge towards you, looking at you full of fear. 】

  【You choose to take the initiative to chase and kill the opponent, and the strange thief Fan Lun starts to run away without hesitation. 】

  【During the pursuit, the time of the Dark Realm ended, and the surrounding sky returned to normal. The wind was still howling, but the deadly cold had slowed down a lot. 】

  【At the end of the night, Fan Lun the Phantom Thief immediately stopped and turned to charge towards you! 】

   "Learn to be smart!"

   Mu You shook his head. It seems that the other party has already guessed the rule-based magic of the Dark Realm. The cooling time must be very long. As long as the night is over, his combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

  So the opponent didn't intend to run far from the beginning, and hung him in front, and when the night was over, he immediately fought back.

  【You chose to turn around and run away! 】

   This is a cat-and-mouse game. The two sides take turns being the cats. This time, Muyou ran away, but he estimated that he wouldn't have to run for long, and would flip again soon.

  【You are running away in the fourth-floor passage, and the opponent moves slightly faster than you, and the distance between you is gradually getting closer. 】

  【However, under the influence of the extreme cold at night, the opponent's HP drops faster than yours...】

  【The strange thief suddenly stopped his pursuit. He saw the situation clearly and chose to retreat! 】

Sure enough, after nightfall is Muyou's home court. He and the strange thief chased and fled, and when they couldn't catch up in a short time, the blood deduction of the environment became the big one. Back off, otherwise the opponent will continue to chase, and you will be able to run to your death.

  Mu You decisively turned around and pursued.

  【You released the 'soul fire' on the strange thief. 】

  【The strange thief used the 'dispersion technique', and the dispersal failed! 】

  【The monster thief was forced to gain vision by you, but there is nothing he can do about it. His health is still decreasing, so he can only speed up to escape, and the distance between you is gradually increasing. 】

  【Through the vision of the strange thief, you found that the strange thief suddenly changed its original direction. Do you want to continue chasing it? 】

"Um?"

  The new text made Mu You raise an eyebrow. After adding soul fire to the opponent just now, this person suddenly changed direction. Could it be that there is something in front that he does not want him to find?

  【You gave up and continued the pursuit, and continued in the direction just now, and soon came to a stone wall on the edge of the fourth floor. 】

  【Under the light of the jack-o-lantern, you find some traces of climbing on the walls here. 】

  【You searched around and found a hidden entrance on the hanging wall. This entrance looks quite new, it seems that it has just been excavated. 】

   After chasing it, I found an entrance. This seems to be the passage for the other party to and from the fourth floor, but looking at the description, it seems that it was just dug out?

  No matter what, since the other party deliberately took a detour to lure him away, it means that this passage is quite special, and there may be some secret hidden in it!

   Mu You didn't rush in. If this place was really important, then the other party would definitely come back later, so he simply lay in ambush near the entrance of the cave.

  【From the perspective of the fire of the soul, the strange thief found that there was no one chasing him behind him. He seemed to realize something and hurried towards your direction. 】

  【The strange thief came to the stone wall and wanted to climb up the hole and leave. 】

  【You released a strong wind blowing, the strange thief was caught off guard and fell to the ground. 】

  【You summoned Treant*5, War Tree, Hydralisk Guard, Fire Giant, Shadow Warhawk, Underworld Devil Child...】

  【You summoned the troll **** of war and the legendary witch doctor. 】

[With the cooperation of many summoned creatures, the strange thief Fan Lun was swarmed and killed by you, experience value +19, lifespan +1, and obtained the thief's skin fragment*1, and found the 'Windwalker Gaiter' at the place where the other party died '. 】

   The opponent obviously greatly misjudged Mu You's combat power. Without the interference of the octopus soldiers, Mu You can now use his full strength. His strongest thing is not his vampire skin, but his army of summoned objects!

  【The strange thief was resurrected in the distance, and chose to escape again. 】

   Mu You was not in a hurry to pursue, and ordered a group of summoned beasts to stay in place, observing the opponent's position through the perspective of the fire of the soul.

The night is getting darker and the temperature is getting more and more extreme. The other party can't run very far. Unless he has other exits, Mu You has no choice but to let him escape, otherwise the strange thief can only be trapped in the In the fourth floor, and then kept freezing to death.

   And in this case, there is only one way for the other party to survive, and that is to hide in the cell!

  【It was freezing cold, and the strange thief soon fell into the brink of death again. Unable to bear the cold, he was forced to enter the No. 4771 cell next to him. 】

   Sure enough, the other party took the initiative to enter the cell to keep warm!

   Then it will be easy to handle.

   Mu You didn't rush to make a move. It's still early, and the further back will be his home field. Anyway, as long as he guards this cave, the opponent will have nowhere to escape.

  The summoned creatures around were frozen to disappear one by one, leaving only Mu You, who continued to hold on with a little blood.

   It was not until the game time was close to the early morning that Mu You manipulated the character to stand up and move towards cell No. 4771.

   After playing hide and seek with each other all night, it's time to harvest!

   "Do you need help?" Lin Xue was in no hurry to leave tonight, because she knew that there was still a big battle on Muyou's side.

  If he lost such an important thing, the strange thief would definitely not let him go. The two parties are still trapped in the special environment of the prison, and the relationship is already endless.

   "I'll give you remote support... Well, I'll call someone again, just be safe!"

   Mu You did not reject Lin Xue's kindness.

   This monster is not weak, and he can avoid the blood deduction in the cold in the cell. The home field advantage has been weakened a lot, so we still need to make more preparations.

   Immediately, he logged into the forum and called several fellow mystics using Captain Ghost's account.

   "Is anyone online? Come out to play a group!"
