916: Chapter 916: The Upside-Down Clown 916: Chapter 916: The Upside-Down Clown The contaminants within the Experintal Building might not have been growing for a long ti; if the living sample was placed in the laboratory prior to that, it might not withstand the contaminants themselves.
Thus, the safety of the living sample must be considered before entering.
If one were to directly break through the wall, it would be necessary to reach the living sample ahead of the airborne contaminant dust.
Of course, Xu Huo himself was now covered in contaminants and was effectively a “source of contamination,” so directly touching the sample could also potentially contaminate it.
Glancing at the clock, Xu Huo lted the tal wall in front of him and instantly reached the location of the living sample within the laboratory.
In front of him was a sealed black tal box, almost the height of an adult, with several ventilation holes at the one-third mark from the top—narrow and impossible to see through, yet admitting the low, non-human whimpering sounds.
With a single Sword strike, he removed the top of the tal box and pulled out a sheet of “World in the Painting.” Eager to escape, the Alien that was trying to crawl out was now captured inside the prop.
Once the fra closed, a fierce, twisted face appeared on the blank paper, mouth agape, unable to speak, only able to roar.
“World in the Painting” was a container prop gifted by the Curator of the Hundred-People Art Gallery, capable of sustaining two people alive for thirty days.
Whether players or ordinary people, entering the painting ant temporarily leaving the ga, unable to access the ga panel.
Of course, that didn’t an it was entirely safe inside; after thirty days, those who entered the painting would fuse with the prop and effectively die.
The player who was last put inside had perished, and Xu Huo didn’t currently have enough opportunity to verify whether there was any difference between consecutive or intermittent thirty-day periods.
However, using it to contain a human-like Alien did not require such consideration.
As he stored the prop away, a large amount of black dust surged in, quickly filling every space in the laboratory.
Extracting an already contaminated Alien sample from the cultivation container and placing it into the tal box, Xu Huo prepared to leave when he suddenly sensed movent ahead.
With a swift dive, a palm-wide white light arc sliced across the width of the entire laboratory the next second!
The force ca from outside the building, and judging by the commotion, it had sliced the entire building as one piece, severing it into upper and lower halves.
The top half of the building slowly rose, while concurrently, two players entered the building from different directions, charging precisely at Xu Huo.
The Invisibility Cloak had lost its ability to hide his shape, as the contamination clinging to it roughly outlined his figure.
Without showing his face, he dodged the Spatial Barrier of the female player who had been pursuing him outside the building and turned to confront another male player with tattoos on his face.
The opponent was clad in a fully transparent protective suit.
Although the contaminants still stuck to it, their reproduction rate was significantly reduced.
As a result, one could not only see the tattoos on his opponent’s face but also the bullet-like points of light shooting from his hands:
“teor Swarm of Fleeting Flight!”
No sooner had he spoken than scores, then hundreds of burning projectiles shot from his side, swarming towards Xu Huo like a teor shower!
The female player chasing from behind swiftly dodged aside, not retracting her prop, but instead used the Spatial Barrier to block Xu Huo’s retreat!
Caught in a pincer, Xu Huo enacted “Three Hundred Sixty Defenses.” Diamond-shaped white blocks densely unfolded in mid-air, precisely intercepting the “bullets” flying around him.
Although the diamond blocks could absorb the impact of the bullets, they only appeared once and then vanished after use—half of the Three Hundred Sixty Defenses were gone in the blink of an eye.
Such a strong attack was not without its advantages to him, though.
The scattered bullets shattered the female player’s Spatial Barrier, clearing the path behind him.
Xu Huo quickly moved away from the building using “Towards the Destination,” but the mont he stepped out of the prop’s range, he found himself involuntarily floating and, in an instant, was upside down, falling towards the floating debris high above.
There, a player dressed in a clown costu and wielding a big scythe was staring at him, upside down as well.
It seed as though gravity had reversed, but Xu Huo could still feel the blood rushing to his head.
He adjusted his direction with a guitar string and used “Towards the Destination” again.
In fact, a single use of “Towards the Destination” should have been enough to escape the Gravitational Turbulence Zone, but the last ti he hadn’t managed a thousand ters, and this ti was no different.
As soon as he exited the range of the prop, his distance was shortened again, only a re two or three hundred ters…
“Hey!” The clown player suddenly appeared before him, raising the huge scythe.
A white arc of light swept across from the sky, slicing through the floating buildings nearby over several hundred ters, but it missed Xu Huo.
Seeing the person rapidly descending toward the ground, the clown player let out a strange laugh and bent over to follow.
In this Gravitational Turbulence Zone, although the clown player was standing on his head, his movents were no different from normal.
Thanks to this strange state, he could achieve the effect of flying without using a flying prop.
Xu Huo, unaccustod to this gravitational pull, still needed to catch props to move around.
But the control force of this gravitational chaos wasn’t very strong.
“Gentleman’s Stance” was completely able to counteract the traction flying towards the sky.
Passing through the air, Xu Huo successfully entered the interior of a ground building.
With sothing overhead to block, the traction force was significantly reduced.
Xu Huo avoided the white arc of light chopping straight down from above and picked up the communicator to signal Shangguan Xi and the car to go ahead.
“Hee-hee!”
In the brief mont it took to send the signal, the building above was shaved away.
Using his upside-down posture, he quickly approached the clown player.
After “Eye of the Deceased” collided with the opponent’s big scythe, he used “This Way is Blocked” to force the opponent to back off.
However, just because the opponent couldn’t get close didn’t an he could leave.
As “This Way is Blocked” took effect, he was caught by an invisible force.
Although he imdiately used “Concentrated Air” to create a barrier, one of his legs was still trapped in place.
“I want a discount!”
Shouting this toward the clown player, Xu Huo’s right leg imdiately regained freedom, only to look up and see the clown player rushing at him again!
Frowning, he reached out to grab the space and continuously changed positions.
The clown player could keep up with his rhythm at first, but as Xu Huo neared the edge of the Gravitational Turbulence Zone, his opponent’s speed began to decrease.
By the ti he left the area, the clown player could only expand the range of damage with his scythe.
Noticing the opponent had no desire to leave the Gravitational Turbulence Zone, Xu Huo quickly doubled back after stepping out.
Sure enough, as he pressed in, the clown player moved backward.
Holding back the opponent’s scythe with the “Eye of the Deceased,” he snapped his index finger quickly onto the blade during the clash!
A crisp sound left a large hole in the blade of the scythe, and the seemingly permanent grin on the clown’s face visibly vanished as he opened his mouth to curse, “Shit!”
