Chapter 213: The Dog And The Knight
The arrogant Hidden Dragon Army, who once had the upper hand, were forced to retreat under the hot pursuit of the players.
They even retreated toward the interior of the Hidden Dragon Marsh.
However, the Beiqi players had no intention of letting them go.
After all, the reward for defeating monsters in the game had never been so high. Killing this one creature would not only give them soul coins and experience, but also prestige points that could not simply be purchased.
In the eyes of the players, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General was like a treasure full of resources. Upon defeating the monster, players would be rewarded a whopping 80,000 prestige points.
The players of the Beiqi Army were all enticed by the enormous benefit.
“Stop running! You’re a wrench if you continue running!”
“Prestige, how dare you run away from us? Be obedient and become our resources!”
“Don’t let the Hidden Dragon Ghost General escape. We have to make him stay behind no matter what!”
…
The enraged roar of the players had scared the warriors of the Hidden Dragon Army to death.
All the warriors that were caught up in the moment were instantly besieged by the hungry wolf-like players and died in a blink of an eye. All of them were scared stiff by the scene.
To them, war was war. However, since they had already retreated, they did not comprehend the purpose behind the players pursuing them further.
During the chase, the group attack formation of the players became lax and was no longer organized. It was so that they could efficiently catch up with the group ahead.
The warriors of the Hidden Dragon Army were even more disorganized than the players. They wished they could grow an extra pair of legs to aid them in their escape from the jaws of those hungry wolves.
The Cangxu players all cheered when they saw this scene and started to dash forward, following behind the Beiqi players.
They always had to back down when facing the Hidden Dragon Army. Even though they were not the ones who defeated the Hidden Dragon Army this time, the feeling of the hunt was cathartic, allowing them to vent out the anger within them.
The Hidden Dragon Ghost General was fuming as he witnessed his warriors perish behind him. He promptly turned around and waved his magic wand. The pearl tip of the magic wand flashed, accompanied by a gust of black wind that swept toward his rear.
In the state of upwind, the players’ speed of pursuit immediately slowed down.
“Kill squad, can you interrupt his skill?” Liu Chai yelled in the live chat channel.
“I’ll try!” Ao Jian stood up. The Nine Spiritual Swords behind him merged into one in the air before shooting forward.
However, when the distance between them exceeded a hundred yards, the control of the Spiritual Swords became weak and started to vibrate. Then, it was shot back by a ray of black light when it got closer to the Hidden Dragon Ghost General!
“I can’t, he’s too far away!” Ao Jian said regretfully.
“Let us try!” Murphy and Little Pomelo volunteered.
Their bodies subsequently merged into a dark shadow and flitted past the warriors of the Hidden Dragon Army at the speed of light. They quickly approached the Hidden Dragon Ghost General, unaffected by the wind resistance.
However, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General seemed to have realized their presence.
As soon as the two of them emerged from the shadows, they saw multiple rays of black light streaking toward them.
Fortunately, both of them were nimble. They rapidly switched positions and shifted their bodies to dodge the attack.
Nevertheless, the Hidden Dragon Ghost General had once again widened the gap between them.
After a few more tries, both of them retreated.
“It’s impossible. The Hidden Dragon Ghost General’s skills have no cooldown. We can’t even get close to him!”
Seeing that the players failed to approach Hidden Dragon Ghost General, Liu Chai looked to Qi Ming, Gu Yu, and the others for help.
Everyone shook their heads.
The hearts of the Beiqi players ached as they saw the Hidden Dragon Army running further and further away.
How could our prestige points run away just like that?
“I have an idea!”
At that moment, a voice sounded in the live chat channel followed by the appearance of a figure at their main force’s faction.
Hearing this, Liu Chai and the others immediately looked at Reinhardt who had just arrived.
“Quickly spill the beans… what’s your idea? If we don’t speed up, we’ll lose them for good!”
“I have an assault skill in armored form. It will not stop until it attacks the target. But my mount died in the battle just now and is in resurrection cooldown mode. I need a good mount!” Reinhardt said solemnly as he looked at the crowd.
“A mount? Where can we find you a mount? Our mounts are all non-digitized zombie wolves, they can’t…” while Liu Chai was speaking, he looked at Sun Qi the White Phantom.
Seeing this, Gu Yu and the others were stunned for a moment. Then they seemed to have understood something and looked at the dog, too.
“Cough… hey dog, can we discuss something?” Liu Chai asked embarrassingly.
“I refuse! I would rather die than to agree. Don’t even think that I don’t know what you want me to do!” Sun Qi replied with a horrified look as he began to move backward.
“Dog, I’m sorry that you have to do this. But you have great speed! Plus the assault skill possessed by this brother, I believe you can catch up with the Hidden Dragon Ghost General in no time. Let’s interrupt his skills first, then we’ll talk!” Gu Yu persuaded.
“I refuse! I’d rather die!” Sun Qi grit his teeth while his face was full of wrath and grief.
Being a dog is already depressing enough. Now you want me to be a mount? In your dreams!
“Little brother, it’s important to see the bigger picture and sacrifice oneself for the benefit of the public. I think this idea is feasible!” Qi Ming also tried to convince him.
“I refuse! Benefit of the public my foot! I’d rather die than become a mount!”
“Dog, what about this? Since it’s a huge sacrifice to make, if we manage to defeat the Hidden Dragon Ghost General, the right to slay him will belong to you!” the commander-in-chief Liu Chai tempted him with an offer.
“I refuse… wait a minute, are you serious!?”
The right to slay the Hidden Dragon Ghost General would promise him a reward of 80,000 prestige points. The value made the dog’s originally firm decision waver.
“Everyone will agree to what I just said!” Liu Chai reassured him.
Hearing this, Sun Qi looked at the crowd and realized everyone was nodding their heads.
This made his determination fall apart. In the end, he chose to bow before the huge benefit.
“I’ll do it!” the dog clenched his teeth.
Everyone could not help but grin when they heard him agree. The one who had the broadest smile was undoubtedly Reinhardt.
As an experienced player, he had always heard of the White Phantom, this powerful combat auxiliary. The previous phantom was an existence that low rank players could not reach, but he never expected to be able to ride him in his entire life.
“Hop on!” the dog grit his teeth while looking at Reinhardt.
“Okay!” with an excited heart, Reinhardt straddled on the dog’s back.
Reinhardt had a large physique whereas the size of the dog was not larger than that of an orange cat. Once he sat on him, the dog’s body was covered completely by Reinhardt’s armor.
At the sight of this scene, Liu Chai and the others’ faces were flushed as they tried to hold in their laughter, but they were already laughing hysterically in their hearts.
“Let’s go! Brother, you can start running first. I’m going to activate the skill!”
Hearing this, Sun Qi’s heart was full of embarrassment. However, when he thought of having the right to slay the Hidden Dragon Ghost General, he clenched his teeth and started to charge forward.
“Dark Assault!”
At that moment, Reinhardt activated the assault skill. A force quickly surrounded them, causing their speed to increase all of a sudden.
Under the blessing of the skill, the dog turned into an actual phantom and dashed forward with increasing speed. The Hidden Dragon Warriors along the way were all knocked off to the side. Nothing could stop him.
Reinhardt, who was sitting on the dog’s back, was astounded.
This speed…
Multiple descriptions such as lightning speed, as fast as the meteor shower, and everything is fleeting flashed through Reinhardt’s brain, but he ultimately summed them up in one word: impressive!
Liu Chai and the others could not help but guffaw at the sight of this scene, each of them laughing hysterically.
While charging, Reinhardt, who was riding Sun Qi, seemed to be gliding forward on the ground in a sitting posture as the figure of the small dog could not be seen. That sight made them burst out in laughter.
Meanwhile, a thought came across Reinhardt’s mind.
I really want to keep this dog as my mount. His charging speed and strength are extraordinary. He is truly a knight’s dream choice!
