"Coming to Tiger Supreme’s territory and thinking of leaving easily? Dream on!"

Taciturn, carrying a heavy hammer, gradually increased his pace and, with a menacing glare in his eyes directed at Su Ran, said in a deep tone, "You want to leave? Hand over your life first!"

After speaking, Taciturn covertly gestured with his right hand behind his back. The other players understood, abandoned the skeleton warriors beside them, and, sneering, surrounded Su Ran.

"Oh, come on, you don’t have to go out of your way to welcome me. This is too much; it makes me feel awkward."

Although he said this, Su Ran could clearly see the danger he was in. Just by the murderous look of these players, he knew that if he fell into their hands, not a single bone of his might remain intact!

"Goodbye, I don’t have time to play with you guys. I’m out of here!"

A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, Su Ran didn’t want to reveal his true strength and chose to temporarily avoid the confrontation. Especially since the martial arts tournament was about to begin, it was better to save his strength for the ring!

"Woof woof!"

Wang Cai was summoned by Su Ran, and as soon as this dog appeared, it sensed the unusual atmosphere. It immediately transformed into a mount, becoming an imposing wolf dog, and appeared before everyone.

"Damn, he’s trying to escape? It won’t be that easy!"

Seeing Su Ran mount the dog, Taciturn finally panicked and started running full-force towards Su Ran. He was afraid that the boy would escape back to the first level, where there were too many players, and capturing him then would not be so simple!

The other players could feel Taciturn’s resolve and also toughened up, spreading out to widen the encirclement, creating a massive net closing in on Su Ran.

However.

The next scene made everyone involuntarily stop and stare at each other, unsure of what to do next.

They watched as Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, riding the dog, merged into the air and disappeared.

"Shit, this guy can turn invisible!"

"Liu San, Tian Si, use the Break Invisibility skill to find this guy!"

Taciturn hadn’t expected Su Ran to pull off such a move, leaving him unprepared. Without delay, he urgently called his subordinates to track down Su Ran’s whereabouts.

"Boss, we can’t find him!"

"The skill failed, we can’t lock onto his position at all!"

The consecutive voices raised Taciturn’s anger to the boiling point, and he bellowed at the spot where he had disappeared, "Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, if you have the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one!"

What responded to him was the faint glowing lights of the teleportation array.

"Boss, he’s escaped to the third level. Are we still chasing him?"

The player standing before Taciturn was quick to react, though his tone was filled with hesitation.

They knew that the third level of Demon Tower was filled with skeleton commanders, and just thinking about their sharp scythes sent a chill down their spine. These pseudo-bosses also possessed long-range attack capabilities, which made them particularly tricky.

"Chase him, of course! Every invisibility skill has a time limit, and I want to see where else he can run!"

Taciturn, provoked by Su Ran, couldn’t calm down, like a raging bull, he sprinted towards the distant teleportation array, not forgetting to announce, "Whoever kills this bastard, I’ll personally reward him with a piece of golden equipment!"

"Roar, Taciturn is generously rewarding. I like it!"

"Haha, this kid dares to oppose big brother, he really doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going!"

"Hurry up and chase him, don’t let him get too far!"

Stimulated by the prospect of the golden equipment, the players’ enthusiasm was all fired up, ignoring the skeleton warriors and focusing solely on getting that first kill from Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained.

It wasn’t long before the second floor’s space quieted down, leaving only the skeleton warriors with dwindling health, standing dazed and confused, unable to understand why these players had suddenly run away en masse.

...

"Hey, there are no players in the third-floor space!"

At this moment, Su Ran was in an invisible state, not worried about encountering danger, and easily slipped past the skeleton warriors. After surveying the terrain and confirming there were no players from Tiger Supreme, he then headed confidently toward the fourth floor.

However.

Before Su Ran had gone far, dozens of players suddenly appeared behind him, disturbing the peace of the space. The skeleton warriors, not one to show courtesy to the intruders, swung their sharp scythes at the players.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Several blades of energy burst forth from the skeleton warriors and the crowd could hardly bear it. In such a crowded situation, they couldn’t avoid it and had to endure the massive onslaught of energy.

After a round, the players from Tiger Supreme suffered significant casualties, which Taciturn saw and felt more anxious about. In their hurried pursuit just now, they hadn’t considered the formation, otherwise, he would have had the shield warriors lead the way if he’d known there were so many skeleton warriors!

What angered Taciturn the most was that he had not yet seen Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, which could only mean that his invisibility had not yet worn off!

"Whoosh."

The teleportation array to the fourth floor lit up with flashes of light, very conspicuous in the space, as if mocking everyone’s underestimation, strongly stimulating their nerves.

"Damn it, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!"

Taciturn, while fending off the skeleton warriors’ attacks, glared at the distant teleportation array with eyes full of hatred. He realized he had been completely outplayed, yet was powerless to do anything, which infuriated him even more!

"Brother Taciturn, watch out!"

Just as Taciturn was distracted, he suddenly heard a teammate’s shout. By the time he reacted, it was too late—a sharp scythe was already speeding towards his waist, and he could only grit his teeth and endure the hit.

"Run!"

Taciturn’s health dropped sharply, and knowing that this was no place to linger, he quickly called his teammates to retreat back to the second floor. They were as disheveled as one could be.

"That Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained is cunning as an eel, so hard to catch!"

The mage player beside Taciturn pressed his hands against his chest to stabilize his rapidly beating heart and then continued, "Brother Taciturn, I suggest you get some equipment or items targeted at him, like Break Invisibility, slow-downs, seals—then it will be easy to catch him!"

"You don’t need to tell me that!"

Taciturn’s voice was filled with aggression as he angrily slammed his hammer on the ground, producing a loud bang. Because of his sudden move, he startled the surrounding teammates.

...

"No idea what the teleportation array on the sub-first floor has to do with the Skeleton Saint."

As Su Ran continued forward with his dog, he muttered to himself. He had no time to wait for those players to catch up, and immediately dashed into the teleportation array leading to the fifth floor.
