Chase Game

A normal tiger can reach a top speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour when sprinting, which is equivalent to 15 to 18 meters per second.

To put it simply, it's equivalent to the normal speed of a subway or light rail train.

It only takes it 3 or 4 seconds to cross a 50-meter distance, which is almost the same time it takes for a normal person to "stunned, react, and turn around to run".

Fortunately, tigers cannot maintain this speed for long periods of time; their hunting tactics are "sneak, ambush, and then a short burst of speed."

The tiger that was the pursuer was slightly different; its pursuit speed remained at 5 or 6 meters per second, even in a complex forest environment.

The two are now about 500 meters apart, and Ling Yi is one kilometer away from the lake. He did a quick mental calculation.

He realized that if he continued running at his increasingly slower pace, he would be overtaken in less than four minutes, and he wouldn't even be able to see the lake anymore.

But he hadn't forgotten that he still had the [Wind Speed ​​Shoes].

"One hundred and fifty meters. Once I enter this range, I'll use my speed boots."

Ling Yi told himself that 150 meters was the maximum safe distance he could imagine.

The forest is full of trees, and the visible distance is less than fifty meters. The tiger probably wouldn't run at full speed without even seeing the person, so leaving 150 meters is enough.

But what you fear most is what happens; the big tiger really did launch its attack from 200 meters away when it had no visibility.

"Holy crap, Tiger, I only knew the distance after using a skill. How did you know?"

There are cheaters, so you can't play at all.

In fact, this big tiger relied on its keen sense of smell.

Their sense of smell is already six times that of humans, and it's unknown whether the tiger that was the pursuer had received any enhancements.

However, since the tiger has increased its speed, it has no choice but to activate [Wind Speed ​​Shoes] ahead of schedule.

"Damn, when I become the hunter, I'm going to have some fun too."

The fugitive, who has played two games, is really tired of being chased. Shouldn't it be time for him to play the chaser for a while?

No, I didn't realize I was treating this like a game. This thing could kill you if you're not careful.

For example, the big tiger that is the pursuer cannot be communicated with. Once it wins the game, there is only one thing it wants to take away.

meat.

Meat that would give him a good meal.

The tiger was really going all out for this food.

Even with the Wind Speed ​​Shoes, Ling Yi was still slightly slower than the Giant Tiger.

Fortunately, the giant tiger's sprint only lasted for less than fifteen seconds before it slowed down, and it already had a buffer of two hundred meters.

This allowed Ling Yi to escape danger and avoid falling into the tiger's den, and he also made it to the lakeside.

The duration of the [Wind Speed ​​Shoes] ended, and Ling Yi was exhausted and out of breath.

He sat by the lake, looking back at the road he had come from.

Not long after, the giant tiger with an orange-yellow body and black stripes appeared from behind the tree.

At the same time, the duration of the "Guanqian" period also came to an end.

The giant tiger was also panting heavily, its body heaving.

It probably didn't expect that its all-out sprint, which it thought would surely win, would miss.

The man and the tiger were 200 meters apart. This time, the giant tiger did not attack rashly, but instead walked to the lakeside and licked the lake water twice.

Then it observed the prey in front of it, and it seemed to be curious as to why the two-legged creature did not run away.

Ling Yi didn't not want to run; he simply couldn't run anymore.

He saw that the giant tiger looked exhausted and hadn't come towards him yet, so he decided not to panic.

What he wants is to stall for time, to stall for every single second.

The man and the tiger faced off like this.

The tiger's yellow-green eyes were fixed on its prey, but Ling was not afraid at all. He returned the same sharp gaze, as if their eyes could fight in the air.

After a while, the giant tiger may have recovered a bit, or perhaps it realized that its prey was also exhausted, so it tentatively moved forward.

Ling Yi remained unmoved.

In fact, at this point in the game, he doesn't have many cards left to play.

Among his skills and items, the exclusive skill lottery wheel is disabled.

Because this game wasn't started for him; he only joined Zhang Qiang's game as a summoned helper.

There's no guarantee of a reward if you win, but you'll certainly die if you lose.

Just as he didn't regret taking Li Fang's thoughts before, he wouldn't regret responding to Zhang Qiang's call.

What he wants is to have a clear conscience.

I just hope Zhang Qiang can be of some use and arrive before I run out of tricks.

Even if he dies, it doesn't matter, but Zhang Qiang has to lure the patrol team over.

Qiangzi... this crucial moment really depends on you...

As Ling Yi thought to himself, he also took out another of his props.

The Magic Carpet has one last use remaining.

The magic carpet's original purpose can actually be seen as suspending something in the air for one minute.

However, this suspended object can only descend, not ascend.

And once the time is up, it will lose its effectiveness no matter how high you are above the ground.

Therefore, Ling Yi planned to use this thing to float to the center of the lake and stay there for a while.

Floating on the ground using the [Magic Carpet] is too slow; the giant tiger can easily catch up.

It's a different story on a lake. Although tigers are also excellent swimmers, their speed in the water is no slower than that of humans.

But if Ling Yi is floating in the sky, how can you, a tiger, jump out of the water and grab me?

Without hesitation, he placed the magic carpet half a meter above the lake surface, then pushed his tired body up to climb up and manipulated the magic carpet to reach the lake.

The giant tiger also went into the water, only its head was above water to breathe, while its four legs were paddling hard underwater.

Ling Yi thought it was a pity; if he had a spear or something, he could have tried to kill the giant tiger.

The giant tiger lacked human intelligence. After entering the water, it discovered that it couldn't even catch up with its prey, let alone fight back.

Just as it was about to go ashore, Ling Yi approached it.

This is not a provocation, but a way to control hatred.

He couldn't let the giant tiger attack him, but he also couldn't let it shift its target to chase Zhang Qiang.

Therefore, the goal is to create the illusion for the giant tiger that "with a little more effort, it will be able to be eaten."

I just don't know if Zhang Qiang found the patrol team...

The Magic Carpet lasts only one minute and will soon end due to the back-and-forth pulling.

Ling Yi could only use his last resort besides "One More Time".

[Extra Time Card]: Increases the item's duration by two minutes.

"Qiangzi, why aren't you here yet...?"

Time ticked by, and with two minutes almost up, he had to start thinking about what to do next.

Ling began to slow down and lower the altitude, creating the impression that the prey was exhausted.

As the distance between the man and the tiger continued to close, the giant tiger seemed to see hope and began paddling even more vigorously.

Unbeknownst to it, it had already followed Ling Yi to the center of the lake.

The two were only a meter apart, and Ling Yi was almost touching the water's surface. He could even see the sharp teeth in the giant tiger's mouth.

Ling Yi suddenly accelerated, and as he reached the shore, the magic carpet lost its effect.

At this moment, Ling Yi had exhausted all his means, and Zhang Qiang still had not appeared.
