At this moment, the strong man was truly at the end of his rope. After surviving this round, an even greater crisis awaited him.

"The terrain here is complex, he's trying to run!" The player chasing him was experienced and figured it out.

"Throw the net, throw the net! Don't let him get away!" Someone called out.

"Definitely, this guy is worth 300,000 dead and 500,000 alive. Even if his wife ran away, we can't let him escape."

In the next second, a large net appeared out of nowhere. Two players standing at the back each held the lead weights at the corners of the net and threw it forward with all their might. The net opened like a parachute, enveloping the strong man and the cliff wall behind him!

The strong man had nowhere to run!

Climb the cliff? His leg was broken, he was covered in injuries, and he was carrying a little girl. Whether he had the strength to climb was questionable, let alone with the net and so many fierce players around.

Charge forward? If he had the ability to break through the players' formation, he would have done it already. Besides, there was still the net.

With no way out, the strong man felt a deep sorrow: "Master, today I... have let you down. The great spear you taught me..." He held the spear horizontally, his eyes filled with sorrow.

He was going to use the long spear to disrupt the net and clear the obstacles! However, after disrupting it, the spear would likely be entangled in the net and he would have to abandon it. At that point, he would have to rely on his fists and feet.

The strong man took a deep breath, his joints cracking. Just as he was about to act, a miracle happened!

The large net that covered his head suddenly rolled back. The players at the front, caught off guard, were tangled up in the net and fell into chaos. Then a rope descended from the cliff: "Grab the rope, I'll pull you up." A stranger's voice sounded.

This was like finding a fire in the snow, or rain after a long drought.

In fact, Dugu Fu was also quite surprised. His original plan was just to throw a rope to pull the man up. Who would have thought the players would throw the net themselves? Of course, it had to be thrown back.

However, the strong man didn't immediately grab the lifeline. Instead, he held the spear and charged forward: the players were tangled in the net, a rare opportunity!

"Buzz!" A loud sound, the spear instantly scattered into a flurry of spear flowers, "Thud! Thud! Thud!" The sounds of the spear piercing flesh overlapped. By the time the other players circled around the net, the strong man had already accomplished his goal and retreated. The three players in the net were riddled with wounds, dead beyond any doubt.

The strong man then retreated to the cliff wall, wrapped his arm around the rope, and, with his injured leg, kicked off the ground with all his might, using the pull of the rope to leap about two meters high.

"Damn, he has someone up there!" The players' voices were filled with sorrow, as if a cooked duck had flown away.

Though not exactly, it was close.

While the strong man kicked off the cliff, they swung their knives and thrust their guns in a chaotic manner. The strong man, mid-air, bent his waist and turned his body to block, his spear sweeping and clashing with their weapons.

Dugu Fu reacted quickly, not being thrown off by the sudden lack of resistance. He wrapped the rope around his waist, spinning and retreating, quickly tightening the rope again.

At the highest point, the rope above continued to pull, and the strong man was overjoyed. He kicked off the cliff wall with both legs and leaped again, instantly escaping the range of melee weapons.

"Use ranged weapons, use ranged weapons!" The players shouted frantically. "Clang! Clang!" "Thud! Thud!" The sounds of ranged weapons were continuous. The former were deflected or hit the cliff wall, the latter hit human bodies.

Despite their chaos, the strong man ultimately made it up, at an incredible speed.

"It's you?" After just seven or eight climbs, the strong man, with great force, reached the top of the cliff. Seeing Dugu Fu, he was surprised. He thought it was the innkeeper and his wife who had returned after delivering the items.

"Yes, it's me." Dugu Fu nodded and dragged the innkeeper and his wife from behind the rock.

The strong man was even more surprised, looking at Dugu Fu with caution, ready to act. Even a wounded tiger still has its might!

Dugu Fu quickly waved his hands: "Don't misunderstand." He cut the ropes binding the innkeeper and his wife, letting them crawl to the strong man's side.

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm an NPC like you, not a player." Dugu Fu spread his hands. "Actually... be careful, someone's behind you!" He suddenly shouted, throwing two knives, "Cut the rope!"

Indeed, someone was there. In just a few seconds, a player had climbed up the eight or nine-meter-high cliff.

"Filth of the Swallow Gate!" The strong man roared, sweeping his spear, the wind howling.

However, the player from the Swallow Gate was as light as a swallow. In the previous second, he had only exposed half his body, but in the next second, he suddenly sprang up, about three or four meters high. It was as if he was dancing on the cliff edge, lightly dodging the sweep.

The innkeeper caught the knife and heard Dugu Fu's words, confusedly cutting the rope on the ground, the one that had pulled the strong man up.

"Not that one, this one! Idiot!" The innkeeper's wife scolded, picking up the other knife and, holding it with both hands like chopping wood, cut the other taut rope on the ground.

At that moment, the Swallow Gate player, like a cat, had just turned in mid-air, dodging the strong man's second sweep. The innkeeper's wife's knife came down, "Snap!" a loud sound like a bowstring, and the bamboo platform at the edge of the cliff suddenly straightened. The Swallow Gate player, about to land and push off, got the force he needed from the bamboo platform.

"Whoosh..." he was launched over ten meters high, adding the eight or nine-meter drop from the cliff, making it about twenty meters, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. "Ah~~~ Thud!"

At such a height, it might not have been enough to kill the Swallow Gate expert. But there was that "thud."

What was the "thud"?

The players at the bottom of the cliff, following the Swallow Gate expert's trajectory and screams, thought he had improved his skills and could jump so high. Their heads turned like sunflowers, and their screams turned to cries of horror. They realized their mistake and looked at where the Swallow Gate expert had fallen, drawing a sharp breath.

There were several thickets of shrubs nearby, and in the shrubs, there were sharpened wooden stakes. The Swallow Gate expert was impaled on the stakes like a roasted chicken wing, dead beyond any doubt...

"Hisss..." a chorus of gasps.

Although everyone was a player and death was not permanent, such a death was still terrifying. They involuntarily shuddered, their spines cold.

"Do you understand now? This platform is full of traps. One person is responsible for a section, and if someone tries to climb up, cut the rope. Also, pick up those straw bundles." Dugu Fu instructed.

At first, the innkeeper and his wife didn't understand, but after shaking the straw bundles a few times, they got it.

"There are people up there, and quite a few! Charging up like this won't work. Wait until there are more people, then charge together." Seeing the straw bundles moving, the players below thought they were real people and were scared.

"Actually, I wanted to explain when we first met, but I didn't get the chance..." At this point, Dugu Fu finally had the chance to speak to the strong man. He had only said half a sentence when he suddenly stopped.

Next to the strong man, the innkeeper and his wife, without the satisfaction of scaring the players, cried out in sorrow: "Benefactor, benefactor, what's wrong with you! How, how could you..."

Just now, Dugu Fu hadn't seen clearly, but now he realized the strong man's leg wasn't broken.

Oh, it was broken, but not the bone. His lower leg and foot were completely missing!
