Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 590: Chapter 298: Invisible Prey!_1

Although Zhui Yi could directly locate Chen Mo’s position, the rules of this map area prevented him from meeting up with Chen Mo directly. Fortunately, he also possessed Moluo’s Brain, which could easily deduce the pattern to approach the staircase to the next level.

Over ten minutes later, after experiencing 60 shifts, Chen Mo found himself ten times farther from the staircase to the next level than before.

However, he did not doubt the capabilities of Moluo’s Brain. If such a situation occurred, it meant this was the inherent pattern, and he had to follow it. Otherwise, going elsewhere would certainly result in being teleported farther away. Alternatively, he might be teleported closer, but the surrounding walkable areas would all be locations that led progressively farther with each subsequent teleport.

As Chen Mo spent over ten minutes here, many others gradually entered the second level.

The Heavenly Path’s Hint also promptly announced the second and third entrants.

The second level was now bustling with activity. Originally, it had only one hundred thousand squares in total. Now, with ten thousand people on the second level, including Zhui Yi, it was difficult to avoid encounters.

However, with many people clustered around several individuals, it was difficult for anyone to take immediate action.

There were five people around Slok at this time. He looked at them and said, “Gentlemen, there’s an uncanny second-transition competitor in our competition zone. Why don’t we agree to a temporary truce? We can deal with this uncanny individual first, before fighting amongst ourselves. All of us made it to the second level safely, yet his quarry, Wipha, died on the first. Doesn’t that alone demonstrate how strange he is?”

Bringing up Wipha was indeed effective. Moreover, these fourth-transition competitors were already quite annoyed that a second-transition individual was outperforming them in their own competition zone.

Therefore, most agreed with the proposal to target the second-transition competitor. However, since they all hailed from different Star Systems, trusting anyone completely was difficult. Even if they formed an alliance, the possibility of betrayal always loomed, so genuine cooperation could not be assumed.

Sensing their hesitation, Slok continued, “We can make an agreement: if anyone launches a sneak attack during our alliance, everyone else will unite to eliminate that person! This should provide some deterrence.”

“That might work. Considering how easily we bump into each other on this level, it would be problematic if we started fighting outright.”

“Good. Please convey this message to others you encounter. The ten seconds are almost up.”

Just as Slok finished speaking, the zone shift began, and he was teleported to a new area, surrounded by new faces.

Every time he encountered someone, he repeated his proposal. With people all around, no one was eager to initiate a fight.

While they hesitated to act, Chen Mo and Zhui Yi were quite willing to. They only refrained because their current potential targets weren’t ’fat’ enough; they preferred to focus on their designated quarry.

Others, they decided, could be left to ’fatten up’ for later. After all, killing targets not designated as their quarry yielded minimal rewards.

At this time, Chen Mo’s quarry, Number 3745, had entered the second level and experienced one zone shift.

According to the map, the distance between this quarry and Zhui Yi was very short—only about a kilometer. However, on this level, participants could only move one meter per second, and the attack range was limited to 100 meters. Therefore, even though they were only a kilometer apart, an attack was impossible.

Zhui Yi tried to force the Skeleton Monster to attack, but its arrows vanished into thin air upon reaching the 100-meter mark.

This clearly demonstrated that the Heavenly Dao’s rules were no joke. One hundred meters meant exactly one hundred meters, not even half a meter more.

Witnessing this, Zhui Yi temporarily gave up on this quarry. After all, he could only move one meter per second, making it impossible to get right next to the opponent.

After another ten seconds, another teleportation occurred. Chen Mo still found himself in a location relatively far from the staircase to the next level.

As Chen Mo once again moved to the square indicated by Moluo’s Brain, this time, surprisingly, someone else stepped onto his square, standing with him.

However, Chen Mo was in divine stealth mode and had no collision volume, so the other person naturally felt nothing.

Chen Mo observed the strange Alien before him. Its skin was as smooth and white as jade, utterly devoid of hair. He pulled up the points leaderboard to check its points.

Only twenty thousand points—so poor.

Seeing this, Chen Mo decided not to act against it yet. However, if this Alien’s luck held and it kept landing on squares progressively closer to the next level’s staircase, Chen Mo would have to eliminate it. He couldn’t allow anyone else to snatch away the distinction of being the first to reach the next floor.

Another Teleportation occurred. Sure enough, this time the Alien clearly moved to the wrong square.

This was inevitable. Without understanding the pattern, although one could move at most ten squares within ten seconds, there were as many as 120 surrounding squares to choose from.

The odds of guessing the correct location were less than one percent, making it extremely difficult to choose correctly every time.

Over a minute later, after several more Teleportations, Slok’s proposal to first eliminate the uncanny second-transition competitor had spread widely, gaining considerable approval.

Unfortunately for them, they would never be able to locate the so-called uncanny second-transition individual on this level.

Not even Chen Mo’s Hunter could find him. At this point, Chen Mo’s Hunter was less than a few hundred meters away from Chen Mo, yet the Hunter looked utterly dumbfounded.

This level did not restrict perception ability; participants could sense over any distance. The Hunter saw on his map that his quarry, Chen Mo, was supposedly five hundred meters to his front left. Yet, when he used his perception ability to scan that area, he found nothing. It was utterly perplexing.

Initially, the Hunter had wanted to see for himself what was so formidable about his second-transition quarry, but he couldn’t see anything at all.

He almost began to doubt if the red dot on his map was malfunctioning. However, after ten seconds, the red dot representing his quarry moved again, indicating that the map display was likely accurate.

Could he be invisible? But my perception ability can detect invisible mode. Is this guy using an SSS-level invisibility technique? It seems I’ll have to get closer and use an anti-invisibility measure to see him.

After several more rounds of zone shifts, Chen Mo was now leading the pack, extremely close to the staircase leading to the next level.

Meanwhile, Zhui Yi once again encountered Chen Mo’s quarry.

This time, the quarry was just over ninety meters away—well within attack range!

Besides Zhui Yi’s quarry, there were five or six other people within a hundred meters. Everyone could sense each other, so naturally, no one was eager to make the first move.

But Zhui Yi ignored the others nearby and directly launched a fierce assault on his quarry!
