The place Phoenix had previously killed the Tyrant was not far from this passageway.
In less than half a minute, the entire team had come before that passageway. However, they did not choose to enter immediately.
Before entering the passageway, one of the Scout players watching the Recon Meter suddenly took a few rapid steps forward. His left hand shook and tossed two objects into the passageway.

Snap!

With a delay of less than a second, a bright white light flashed across the entire passageway.
It was a Flashbang and an Electromagnetic Disruption Bomb; causing a disruptive streak of blueish-white electromagnetic sparks, along with distorted static in their ears from the communication channel.
As Elite players of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, they would not be worse than solo players in the aspect of special items, but even better, and would benefit large guilds.

Forward!

After tossing the objects, these people immediately took action, similarly displaying excellent combat synchronization.
Two Heavy Armored Warriors raised their shields as they cleared the road at the front of the group, while two other Light Armored Warriors engaged the Charge skill as they rushed out from the sides, and at the back were the long-range professions of Manipulators and Scouts following tightly behind.
However, when they charged around the corner, this tight and speedy movement instantly halted.

How’s it possible? The Recon Meter has clearly showed that there was someone.
The face of the Scout player who tossed the Flashbang and the Electromagnetic Disruption Bomb was full of perplexity.
The team had three Scouts, all with Expert grade Detection. Their previous detection had confirmed that there were two players and a metallic robot here standing behind the passageway in ambush.
But now it was completely empty in everyone’s field of view, not a single person was in the passageway, only the fallen Tyrant covered in black blood with its chest pierced through by alloy and the Control Spider beside it destroyed into shards.

Anti-detection? The opponent still has an anti-detection Expert grade Scout, one with Talent enhancement too. According to Plan B, splitting into small groups to search, the anti-detection range would not be big, but they’re definitely nearby or at the same spot on the fourth or sixth floor.
As the commander, after Old K had thought for a second, he instantly understood the reason and yelled about allocating manpower.
Hearing this, over 10 Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players immediately split into groups according to defense, close-combat, output and Detection.

Old Niu, you’re a medic, group with me.
Old K then added, to no reply.

…

Old K froze and turned back swiftly, realizing that the only medic player in the team had then already fallen into blood, with a stab wound by a stiletto left near his heart.

Ping, ping!


Da, da, da!

At the same time, just when their formation was messed up from the new groupings, a tearing wave of gunshots suddenly sounded from the direction of the initially empty passageway.
In an instant, bullets and damage numbers flew.
…
Sometime before the battle on the fifth floor commenced.

Xing Shao, come this way!

Xing Shao and two Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group Warriors had arrived at the intersection between the ninth and tenth floor.
Holding onto an alloy sword, the Light Armored Warrior cautiously cleared the way at the front, while the Heavy Armored Warrior, holding onto an alloy shield, guarded the young Scout Xing Shao who was holding onto his Legendary submachine gun.

Xing Shao, you and Mister A wait here a bit, I’ll go up and look.
The Light Armored Warrior told Xing Shao and turned, preparing to head up first to recce.

No, no need for you to go up, use this.
Xing Shao stopped him, fishing out something from his tactical vest.
This object was only half the size of a fist, and felt like a medium-sized spider, even moving its blackish-brown sectioned limbs in Xing Shao’s hand, its fine hairs swaying.

A spider? Xing Shao, is this your pet?


Wrong, Xing Shao, isn’t your pet a mutant bat Commander?

The two Warrior players froze and were perplexed.

Not a pet, precisely speaking, this thing isn’t a living being, but an emulated small machine.
Xing Shao smiled satisfyingly.
He placed the spider onto the ground, its eight limbs started to move rapidly and crawl on the ground, it looked like it was no different from a real spider.

A robotic spider? I see, but this is too realistic, I can’t tell that it’s an emulated object.
The Light Armored Warrior was fascinated, watching the crawling spider.

Of course, this thing was created by a Master grade NPC Mechanist. Although it’s a robotic spider, it doesn’t have any metal components capable of being detected, and even if it was coincidentally detected by Detection, it would only be seen as a real biological spider.
Xing Shao was self-satisfied, while the emulated spider moved its eight legs, quickly crawling up towards the tenth floor following the upward passageway.

A Master grade NPC Mechanist, I see. This thing should be a mini mecha…wait, Xing Shao, you can actually operate a mecha!

The Heavy Armored Warrior looked at the image springing out from Xing Shao’s terminal, on it was what the emulated spider was seeing. Although the field of view was smaller compared with the surveillance on the Tyrants, it was clearer and there was practically no shaking.

This thing is so awesome! With this, PK and fighting monsters will be very advantageous. Xing Shao, did you get it from a mission?

The Light Armored Warrior quickly thought of the usefulness of the object, any player with one would definitely be able to secure a huge advantage in some PK grounds.

This thing isn’t so easy to get, first you must complete that NPC Master’s mission and earn Approval, then you need to get him 500,000 credits to exchange for a Control Chip before you can use it. Lastly, this thing is a consumable and has a usage limit, but you first need 100,000 credits to purchase each emulated spider, and after the usage limit is reached the maintenance fee is another sum.
Xing Shao did not keep the price from them, as this thing was undoubtedly a pretty expensive consumable.
Let alone the fact that earning Approval was very time-consuming, just the 500,000 credits to exchange for the Control Chip was already 90% beyond players’ ability to bear.
The two players were instantly a little disappointed.
Although the two of them were half-filled with Rare equipment, a huge proportion was provided by the guild. Actually, the money they had invested in the game was no more than 500,000 credits.
There was no choice, the game was an ultimate game, such a thing of this kind of true Star Coin player was an uneliminable advantage.
