Chase Game

Just as Ling Yi had predicted, Li Fang slowed down.

However, in the complex environment of the underground parking garage, he couldn't actually move at full speed and couldn't shake off Li Fang, so the two could only keep going in circles.

Before Ling Yi could come up with a good solution, Li Fang had already taken the initiative.

She conjured a piece of ice crystal in her hand, which then transformed into a streak of cold light that shot straight toward Ling Yi's back.

Caught off guard, Ling Yi was hit.

"Slowing Ice Crystals!"

He immediately realized that this was a prop from Building 6.

He felt his joints stiffen, his running speed dropped sharply, and the duration of his skill was reduced by ten seconds.

That wasn't all. Li Fang then took out a long tree branch and threw it into the ground, where it swam around as if it were in water.

A sense of unease rose in Ling Yi's heart, as if it were a warning to him to pay attention to what was behind him.

As he rounded a corner, he glanced at it quickly, and at the same time, the wooden stick shot out from the ground like an arrow.

The wooden strip wrapped around his ankle and then tightened suddenly.

These are props from Building 4—[Wooden Shackles]!

Ling felt a sudden stiffness in his left leg, as if a heavy burden was hanging on his ankle, making it impossible for him to lift his leg.

Although it was only for a moment, that moment almost caused him to lose his rhythm and balance, and he was about to fall.

In the rush, he didn't have time to adjust, so he could only turn slightly to the side and roll over to land his shoulders, back, waist and other parts in turn to dissipate the force.

"Damn, that hurts like hell."

Without any professional training, he was just imitating what others did, and he still felt pain.

It did have an effect. Although he rolled around on the ground a few times and looked a bit disheveled, fortunately he didn't break any bones and could get up and continue running.

This fall, however, was a golden opportunity for Li Fang to close the distance between the two. She used some means to make her high heels glow red, and although the height of her jumps did not change, the frequency of her jumps increased.

At their closest point, the two were less than twenty meters apart!

"Are you a rabbit? Why don't you just walk in your high heels and instead jump? Aren't you afraid of twisting your ankle...?"

Ling was exasperated by Li Fang's bouncing behind him, and the frequency kept increasing until he finally couldn't help but complain.

Li Fang was stunned by the shout. When she realized that it was Ling Yi complaining, she felt a surge of frustration and stood there awkwardly, unable to catch her breath.

At first, she also felt that it was not elegant, but over time she got used to seeing more and more strange skills or props, and gradually she came to think that she was one of the normal ones.

I feel a bit uncomfortable after being criticized.

And it's not that she can't walk normally, but that's a special case, and it definitely can't be brought up.

I'm feeling a bit frustrated and angry...

If emotions cannot be expressed through language, then they will be expressed through action.

She sped up again to catch up.

Seeing that there wasn't much time left to accelerate, and with Li Fang chasing closely behind, Ling Yi made a decision and went upstairs!

Li Fang thought he was going to circle around the central courtyard again, so when Ling Yi was almost on the first floor, she somehow managed to close the door in advance.

But Ling Yi's mind wasn't on that, so he continued upstairs.

Li Fang previously thought going upstairs was a dead end, but now she has changed her mind.

In her eyes, this novice had been very decisive in everything he did after his first mistake and restart, without the panic she expected of a novice.

From this perspective, she felt a little uneasy.

Does he have another trump card up his sleeve?

Now that she sees Ling Yi "taking a dead end," she has no choice but to consider this.

"Chase him with all your might and finish him off here!"

Li Fang told herself this.

Ling Yi could clearly feel that he was slowing down and becoming increasingly tired.

The duration of the Wind Speed ​​Shoes and your own stamina will both reach their limits!

He was only half a floor away from reaching the top, but his Wind Speed ​​Shoes were now cooling down, and his strength was almost gone. If he hadn't been holding onto the handrail, he probably would have collapsed on the stairs from exhaustion.

This is precisely the side effect of the wind speed shoes.

But he didn't give up. If he failed this time, he wouldn't have another chance.

Even if I have to climb, I'll climb to the roof. I can't just do nothing and let the other person decide my fate.

"Huff... huff..."

He was so exhausted that his breathing became weak, but the "thump, thump, thump" sound behind him did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it grew stronger and stronger, as if the death knell was approaching.

In fact, Li Fang was not at ease at this time either. Maintaining that high-frequency jumping forward method was also quite tiring.

So when climbing the stairs, Ling Yi left him far behind.

When she finally stepped through the door leading to the top floor, all she saw was Ling Yi's back as he sat on the rooftop wall.

Is there still no way to escape?

A saying circulates in their circle:

The panicked lambs will walk right into your door.

This means that the fugitives, in their panic, drove themselves to their doom.

It seems I was overthinking things; the boy in front of me was just a little lamb.

She calmly took a step forward, but Ling Yi, who had his back to her, suddenly said, "I will jump."

Li Fang chuckled but didn't stop walking.

She said, "Are you threatening me? That's stupid. Even if I don't catch you with my own hands, you jumping off and dying will still be considered a victory for me."

Li Fang paused for a moment, then continued, "The only thing you'll get is the experience of falling from a building."

"So, you lost."

Li Fang pronounced the verdict in this manner.

Ling Yi turned around at this moment, staring calmly at Li Fang, and then a smile suddenly appeared in his dark eyes.

He smiled and said:

"That's not necessarily true."

After saying that, he pushed off with both hands and fell straight down.

wrong!

He smiled, without a trace of panic, only the smile of a successful scheme!

Li Fang realized she had fallen into a trap and hurriedly went to the wall to check.

Sure enough, Ling Yi did not fall from the building, but instead lay in a "T" shape on a square blanket, floating leisurely in the air above the central courtyard.

This is precisely the skill of the [Magic Carpet]:

The active skill, "Sit on the Magic Carpet and Feel Like You're Flying," will cause the user to slowly descend within one minute when used at high altitude.

Li Fang doesn't seem to have any means of flight, which is enough to stall until the marked time ends.

Judging from the current results, the Magic Carpet has indeed lived up to his expectations, and such a powerful item will have one more chance to be used in this game!

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ling spread his five fingers, raised his arm slightly, and felt the wind passing through his fingers. He sighed softly:

"It really does feel like flying..."

The marker hanging overhead finally disappeared, and the marker chase battle, which had lasted for 20 minutes, ended with Ling Yi's temporary victory.

Judging from the casualties on both sides, the pursuer Li Fang used at least two items: [Slowing Ice Crystal] and [Wooden Shackles].

Meanwhile, Ling Yi's [Wind Speed ​​Shoes] entered a 15-minute cooldown, and [Magic Carpet] consumed one use.

Overall, Ling Yi still suffered a loss. The cooldown time of the Wind Speed ​​Boots was too long, a full fifteen minutes. During this time, if he encountered pursuers, he would have no way to escape.

But every cloud has a silver lining, and new hope soon appeared.
