Chapter 876 We are the weak ones, we can cheer each other on from the sidelines!

"this......"

This sudden scene left everyone completely dumbfounded.

Toby's legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, his face filled with disbelief. "Dead...dead... Boss Gray was instantly killed?"

Bailey was so frightened that she covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror.

A top-tier expert with a ladder score of 1502 points and a rank of late stage 8 simply asked a question and was gone.

"What... happened?!"

Opposite Belle, the proud Blue Fox was now filled with a solemn expression.

Gray was even stronger than him, yet he died so inexplicably?

Standing next to Lin Hui, the heiress of a conglomerate, Iris, also had a furrowed brow and her bright golden eyes flickered slightly.

Her golden eyes possess three special abilities, one of which is "superhuman perception".

Although she is only at the mid-stage of the 8th rank, even if a peak 9th rank expert makes a move, her eyes can still capture the afterimages and trajectories of energy circulation.

However......

In Iris's view, the little boy in white didn't move at all, let alone kill Gray.

"Could it be..." She seemed to realize something, her pupils contracting slightly, "Could this little boy... be a quasi-demigod? Or perhaps... a demigod?! Is that why I can't sense him??"

At this moment, Lin Hui's thoughts were similar to Iris's, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

With his current combat strength, under the unobservable gold attribute, he has a certain degree of confidence in killing a peak 9th rank opponent.

However, he is still quite different from a near-demigod, let alone a demigod.

The Torres dungeon was also a nightmare-level dungeon, but with the help of experts like Little Blue, the God Emperor, and the Queen, even when they encountered Sauron, a demigod of the mechanical Eldar, they successfully completed the mission.

But without other help, how can he face a demigod head-on?

He's likely to be killed!

With this thought in mind, Lin Hui silently severed the connection between the alternate dimension and the real world, allowing the aura of the brass key to resonate with him.

Although he shared the protection of the RV, he still felt the danger and took extra precautions.

At the same time, a thought flashed through Lin Hui's mind.

"Although the anomalous creatures in this instance are ridiculously strong, even those with near-demigod strength, as long as you don't violate their rules, you'll be fine."

Just like the red-haired creature, it won't attack unless you look directly at it for more than 7 seconds!

"So... the reason Gray got his head blown off wasn't because the little boy attacked him first, but because Gray broke some unseen rule!"

"The core gameplay of this dungeon is that we have to risk our lives, test our limits, and then understand and avoid the patterns of these anomalous creatures?"

"Hmm! Very likely!!"

Just as Lin Hui was pondering.

With a soft "poof" sound.

In mid-air, the headless corpse of Gray, which was falling, was transformed in a distorted white light into a tattered rag doll the size of a palm, with its head blown to pieces.

Followed by.

Gray's figure reappeared in a beam of light.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"

Reborn, Gray knelt on one knee, coughing violently.

His face was as pale as paper. He took out a bottle of epic-level healing potion from his spatial ring, uncorked it, and drank it all in one gulp.

As the medicine went down his throat, his complexion gradually regained a rosy hue.

Seeing that Gray was still alive, a hint of joy flashed in everyone's eyes.

Gray flew back to the clock tower, still shaken, and said, "Thank goodness... thank goodness I bought a [Substitute Doll], otherwise I would have really been stuck in this godforsaken place!"

"Brother Gray, what exactly happened?" Blue Fox asked. "You can't even use your super-speed regeneration?"

At the 8th level, as long as the divine essence remains, even if the heart is pierced or the head is cut off, the severed limbs can regenerate in a very short time.

But just now, Gray didn't even have a chance to resist!

Gray shook his head bitterly. "In that instant, my divine intuition gave me no warning. My consciousness was plunged into absolute darkness! If it weren't for the Stand's forced substitution mechanism, I would be dead!"

"I guess..." Gray took a deep breath and gave the same conclusion as Lin Hui:

"My actions just now triggered some kind of rule on the little boy, which is why he ignored all defenses and was shot in the head."

"Rules?" Blue Fox frowned slightly, pondering. "Does it mean we can't ask the little boy questions? Or that we can't talk to him?"

Gray shook his head: "Not sure. Maybe it's the content of what was said, or even my body language!"

"To find out the truth, we have no choice but to keep trying!"

"Still...still going?" Toby swallowed hard. "Boss Gray, the cost of trial and error is life-threatening! Can't we just leave the little boy alone?"

Gray's face darkened, and he said sternly:

"If we don't try, what else can we do? Go to the next city? Then encounter the next monster with unknown mechanics, and continue to run away like rats?"

"If we hide every time we encounter danger, we'll never reach 90% exploration completion!"

"Now that we've entered a nightmare-level dungeon, we should be mentally prepared! Even if the final boss is a near-demigod, or even a true demigod, I wouldn't find it strange at all!!"

Demigod? ?

Upon hearing those two words, Toby's face turned deathly pale.

How could a mere peak 6th rank like him face an existence of this level?

Is this the Nightmare-level dungeon?

Can we really get through this instance alive?

Not only Toby, but also Mara and Leo's eyes revealed a deep sense of despair.

Gray took in everyone's expressions, softened his tone, and said in a deep voice:

"The system will never issue a mission that guarantees death! Even in a nightmare-level dungeon, we have a chance to clear it! A one in a million chance of survival is still a chance! As long as we figure out the rules of the dungeon, we can survive!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

But the same question remains: who will conduct the testing next?

Everything is unknown.

If you make a mistake, it could mean death!

At this moment, Lin Hui stepped forward and spoke calmly:

"Brother Gray is right, running away won't solve the problem."

"I'm confident I can test out the little boy's rules and even get crucial clues. But I need your cooperation."

Upon hearing this, the entire top of the clock tower fell into a deathly silence.

Gray was stunned.

Iris's golden eyes widened slightly.

Blue Fox, Leo, Mara, and Toby stared at Lin Hui in astonishment.

A player who is only at the early stage of rank 7 actually stood up and said he was confident after an rank 8 late stage powerhouse was instantly killed in the headshot?!

Lin Hui looked at everyone calmly.

He has figured out the key to this instance and wants to test it.

If this drags on any longer, and there's a hidden time in the dungeon, we might accidentally fail and there'll be no way to explain ourselves!

However, seeing Lin Hui step forward, Bailey whispered a reminder, "When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. We're the weaker ones, we can just cheer from the sidelines!"

......

P.S.: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, fellow book lovers!

P.S.: I felt that "half-step demigod" didn't sound good, so I changed it to "quasi-demigod". It doesn't affect the plot, so don't worry.
