Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 546 - 372: Communication and Other Players
In the nearly pitch-black Shadow Desert, with only the faint starlight above, the top Assassin player from Xia Country, Luu Qiang, felt very frustrated, but he couldn’t stop his full-speed running.
He was currently maintaining a state of High-Level Invisibility Skill, so the various shadow monsters in the desert couldn’t detect him, allowing him to sprint at high speed within. However, what he found hard to understand was that the mechas tracking him seemed to have marked him; no matter how much he accelerated or turned, he couldn’t shake them off.
"Even infrared detection can’t see through my High-Level Invisibility Skill. How on earth are they tracking me? Could it be they have some special ability? From the previous battles, this seems highly possible..."
As he ran through the desert, he analyzed the situation, while also glancing at the pursuers’ status during turns, hoping that those shadow monsters in the desert could help entangle these pursuers.
Unfortunately, these natives clearly understood the Shadow Desert better than he did. They were piloting mechas, all flying at a height of about twenty meters, making it impossible for the shadow monsters below to reach them. Even if discovered, the monsters could only glare helplessly from below.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~
Before long, the mechas in the sky fired multiple missiles trailing bright exhaust flames. These missiles, falling in a predictive pattern, landed around Luu Qiang, causing violent explosions that filled him with helplessness.
"Dammit! Bullying just because you have numbers and reach, huh? Come down and let’s see if you can take me on!"
Despite feeling frustrated, he quickly used his equipment skills to endure the surrounding explosive winds, and then further accelerated his escape.
The main reason he hadn’t been blown up by the enemy was due to two factors: one, his own impressive survival ability; and two, the enemies didn’t seem to intend to kill him outright, showing signs they wanted to capture him alive.
In reality, he was forced into this desert. The enemy could see through his invisibility and had deployed many combatants and even mechas to hunt him down. He initially hid in the houses of a large town but was quickly driven out, with no place to hide, and counterattacking was nearly hopeless due to the sheer number of enemies.
In short, this scenario pressured him enormously, unprecedentedly, though thankfully the enemy did not intend to kill him, giving him a chance to escape.
"The conventional methods no longer work... Seems I have to resort to that measure..."
Luu Qiang, feeling the mechas in the sky accelerate as he did, realized his extraordinary mobility couldn’t shake off these high-tech natives, so he planned to use the ultimate measure he’d been reluctant to deploy as an experienced player.
During his sprint, he took out a thumb-sized jade from his personal space and crushed it completely with his fingers. An ancient and worn aura emerged from the jade’s fragments, rising into the sky and gathering.
In almost the blink of an eye, a hundred-meter-long phantom appeared in the desert night sky, apart from the slight starlight and the mechas. It had fierce twin horns and a giant mouth full of terrifying fangs, capable of flying without wings. It resembled something between a serpent and a dragon.
As soon as the fearsome monster appeared, it roared as it charged at the mechas in the sky. Its astonishing speed and momentum shocked nearly all the mech pilots.
"What’s that?!"
"Quick, attack! Stop it from approaching!"
"Ah!!!"
"Scatter! Scatter!"
"Our attacks are ineffective against it!"
...
Amidst terrifying roars and explosive blasts, more than half of the mechas fell from the sky within three seconds, scattering across the desert below, while the remaining few frantically fled, desperately avoiding the huge phantom monster’s assault, not wanting to meet the same fate as their fallen comrades.
Only then did Luu Qiang stop to observe, confirming that his ultimate measure was highly effective. The enemies were either dead or escaped, ensuring his safety for the time being.
"Maybe it would have been more cost-effective to use it against that BOSS, but unfortunately, there’s no ’if’..."
He felt some regret, as he faced more formidable enemies earlier, but back then, he didn’t consider preserving himself a problem, so he didn’t think about employing this measure. Now forced to use it, it felt like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
But, often people are forced into situations, and regret is just hindsight.
"There may be more reinforcements coming, so I must leave here quickly, and this time, I have to be very cautious."
Without much hesitation, Luu Qiang decided to take a detour back to the direction of the large town, finding a place to hide properly. After all, the frightening Shadow Desert clearly wasn’t a place to spend a month, and once discovered in such an environment, there would be nowhere to hide, which was not a rational choice.
Meanwhile, far away in the desert depths, within the Black Tower, three players who entered earlier were having a leisurely and pleasant time, entirely different from his tense and embarrassing situation.
Among them, the foreign Mage player William and the Warrior female player Zakharova were sitting by a pond, with Mage William having lit a fire, and Zakharova cleaning and gutting several caught fish, preparing roasted fish.
