The gothic girl stared at the monster in the crystal ball, her expression turning terrifying.

She sat within the magic circle, and with a thought, over a dozen turrets all activated at once!

The turrets of the Witch's Home differed from traditional ones; some spewed poisonous flames, some released icy mist, and others fired beast-catching nets.

The instant these turret attacks were unleashed, a diamond-shaped, mirror-like turret flashed with light, and every single turret attack doubled!

Azeman and the Cyan Lion Guards suffered the most brutal assault since entering the Mad King Building!

This wave of damage poured down, injuring ninety percent of the Cyan Lion Guards, with those on the outermost ring sustaining serious wounds!

However, before the Witch's Home's attack facilities could unleash another volley, the Cyan Lion Guards roared and charged forward!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The sound of the door being rammed was heart-stopping. Pandora watched the gate's durability plummet wildly, her mouth twitching. While repairing the durability, she hurriedly @'d Xu Lang in the chat room.

[170 Pandora: @Xu Lang, come help quickly!]

Pandora had been very mysterious since entering the Mad King Building and hadn't added anyone as a friend, so she could only @ Xu Lang in the chat room.

...

Coincidentally, Xu Lang had just woken up from the simulated dream at that moment.

He usually didn't bother opening notifications when people @'d him in the chat room, but this time, Cao Yaxuan and the others alerted Xu Lang.

After all, Pandora's status was special; she was a veteran player from the twelfth cycle and the uncrowned king of the ninth floor.

[200 Xu Lang: @Pandora, add friend]

A friend request was sent over immediately.

Pandora was in a great hurry.

[Xu Lang: What's the price?]

[Pandora: All the information you want!]

[Xu Lang: Rejected]

[Pandora: "Broken Dawn Pendant"]

[Xu Lang: Deal!]

...

"I'm going to the ninth floor. Don't follow me." Xu Lang stood up from the sofa, instructing Cao Yaxuan and the other women.

Even without this business with Pandora, he had planned to intercept Azeman and his group of monsters on another floor.

In the simulated dream, he had run into Azeman and his gang of brutes, lured them all the way to the tenth floor, only for the Void Splitter to kill just half the Cyan Lion Guards with one shot. The remaining guards nearly shattered the Golden Pillar Jade Toad Door instantly!

And Azeman hadn't even attacked the door himself!

He absolutely could not let Azeman and his gang of brutes touch the dormitory door!

"Is it that dangerous?" Wang Yazhi asked gravely.

"Yes." Xu Lang nodded. "These monsters' attack methods are extremely brutal. Without a teleportation cape, if you get rammed, you might be trampled to death."

Due to limited Nightmare Essence, Xu Lang had only run one simulation. Although he killed Azeman in that simulation, he wasn't one hundred percent confident.

"We understand. You go ahead with peace of mind!" Cao Yaxuan said with a serious face, nodding.

That sounded a bit weird. Was Little Cao thinking of staging a coup?

Shooting a suspicious glance at Cao Yaxuan, Xu Lang quickly left the dorm.

As soon as Xu Lang left, Cao Yaxuan and the other women sneaked to the door, waited a while, then opened it and went out.

At that moment, the door to Dorm 195 also opened.

Jiang Xiaowen and the dorm owner, Yan Xiaoli, stepped out.

Kui Zi followed closely behind.

The dorm that had taken Kui Zi in was Dorm 195.

The two groups quickly converged, as if they had planned this beforehand.

A raven perched on Jiang Xiaowen's shoulder took flight, soaring away.

"Jiang Xiaowen, there were rumors before that the raven was your pet... You moved here from another building. Wouldn't a dorm pet disappear under such circumstances?" Kui Zi mused thoughtfully.

"As long as certain conditions are met, you can take your pet with you," Jiang Xiaowen replied with a smile.

She used to be a small dorm owner on another floor, under immense pressure. Since moving to the tenth floor, she smiled much more often.

The players on the tenth floor were generally the happier sort.

"Lang Ge is on the move!" Jiang Xiaowen's expression suddenly turned serious, her eyes reflecting the vision from her pet raven.

The group of girls looked grave and began listening to the live commentary.

"Lang Ge is so fierce!"

"He teleported!"

"He teleported again!"

Not long after, everyone started leaning over the corridor railing to look down. Although they couldn't see anything, that didn't stop them from clinging to the railing.

Below, the monsters' agonized shrieks and furious roars blended into a chaotic mess.

...

After landing on the ninth floor, Xu Lang moved like a great white shark patrolling the ocean, continuously whittling down the combat strength of the Cyan Lion Guards.

The Blood Pelican Demon Blade was powerful, but the Cyan Lion Guards were too large and wore armor. Xu Lang no longer aimed for one-hit kills, basically slashing once and then leaving.

This fighting style was utterly shameless.

As long as the monsters didn't fill his entire field of vision, he could rely on Raphael's Cape to peck all the monsters to death!

"What a shame, I can't chain them all with Scarlet Herding Chains!"

As his blood-red blade swept up a brilliant arc of light, Xu Lang sighed inwardly.

Boom!

A Cyan Lion Guard, after a brief power charge, swung down its giant axe.

The axe blade carried a whirlwind, almost like an area-of-effect attack!

Xu Lang dodged sideways while simultaneously kicking the Cyan Lion Guard in the chest.

This magical leg strike felt like a shot from a Barrett rifle. The Cyan Lion Guard's chest exploded violently, both armor and body shattering!

"Can't get greedy with the damage output. The Ghostly Profound Armor's durability dropped another fifty points!"

Xu Lang rubbed his cheek, which had just been grazed by the wind blast.

This was the downside of the Ghostly Profound Armor. He could withstand such minor damage himself, but it still deducted durability from the armor.

Moreover, the Ghostly Profound Armor's current level was too low, gradually falling behind the times. It lost dozens of durability points at the slightest provocation. If he truly clashed head-on with monsters, it would probably shatter completely in under two minutes.

Right now, he only really cared about the Jade-faced effect; the other attributes couldn't compare to rare equipment above level ten.

"Vermin! Fly! Coward!" Azeman charged over recklessly, knocking two Cyan Lion Guards flat in the process.

He was furious, wishing he could swallow Xu Lang whole in one bite.

Xu Lang remained unmoved, teleporting away again.

He didn't know how long they fought, but suddenly, at a certain moment, the Cyan Lion Guards began falling one after another, like dominoes!

...

"It's the bleeding effect!"

In Dorm 170, Pandora's pupils contracted, her heart shocked.

"What a terrifying bleeding effect!"

"Blood Pelican... an ultra-dangerous item. It must be because of that blade of his!"

"How on earth did he get his hands on an item like that?"

While shocked, Pandora also felt a surge of intense curiosity.

This man definitely knew some secrets of the Mad King Building; otherwise, he wouldn't be this monstrous!

...

"Those Cyan Lion Guards are all falling!" On the tenth-floor corridor, Jiang Xiaowen was still giving her live commentary.

"All of them?" Wang Yazhi pressed.

"... Yes!" Jiang Xiaowen's little face showed an expression of disbelief.

Those Cyan Lion Guards looked like they'd been hit by some terrifying, large-scale curse.

"Uncle Xu Lang is so amazing!"

Luo Lin and her daughter had arrived at some point, accompanied by the Tyrant, Ah Nuo.

Everyone crowded against the corridor railing, looking down.

Kui Zi stood a bit further away, healing her injuries while shaking her head inwardly.

If someone had a gun down there for a sweep, they'd definitely score several headshots.

These women were too obsessed with Xu Lang.

All of them were appearance-focused!
