167: Liao Fan was being hunted down
In a place of confusion with complex terrain and overgrown rocks, a sudden loud "bang" echoed through the skies!
A sharp ice spike descended from the sky, instantly piercing a five-meter-high rock; ice shards splattered everywhere like blooming fireworks.
Immediately after, a majestic and tall red-furred giant ape leaped out, carrying a man with a square face dressed in orange robes and holding a purple staff. He was none other than the Level 29 Liao Fan!
Liao Fan couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn it!"
He then quickly took out a Mid-grade Health Recovery Pill and swallowed it to replenish his HP.
At this moment, he didn't even have time to curse, as countless sharp elemental arrows were already raining down on him from all directions!
"Holy Flame Shield!"
Liao Fan hastily activated his shield, successfully blocking the fierce attacks.
At the same time, he urged his Savage Overlord Ape mount to speed up its escape.
He had no choice; a large group of powerful enemies from foreign servers was hot on his heels.
Among them were experts from the Sakura Region like Masumi Taichi, Ningwu Jiro, and Three Kills Pellet.
There was also the server's number one Archer, Never Sets. Fortunately, he had been crippled by Bai Tian, and his strength was less than half of what it used to be; otherwise, Liao Fan would have been in dire straits long ago.
And the server's number one Tank, Sun God.
Foreign server first-rate experts like Gamile, Kuta, Shenling, and others... Half of these pursuers were once top-ten experts on the global point rankings. Although their strength had greatly diminished after being crippled by Bai Tian, they still couldn't be underestimated.
As for Liao Fan, he hadn't even been in the top hundred of the you tian points rankings before, but today he had jumped into the top ten by luckily killing a Grievance Demon, naturally becoming a target for everyone.
"baka!"
Masumi Taichi, the guild leader of the Sakura Region's Magic Dragon Guild, was hopping mad. "This hateful fellow is relying on his mount to run so fast. We've been chasing him for half an hour and still haven't stopped him!"
He turned to look at Never Sets. "Lord Never Sets, is your Long-range Snipe skill still on cooldown? We need your help!"
In fact, Never Sets was indeed one of the people most capable of catching up to Liao Fan, as he also possessed a mount with extremely high movement speed.
At this time, Never Sets was only Level 17, and the weapon in his hand had turned into a blue bow, his strength greatly compromised.
He responded with a gloomy face, "No."
In reality, it wasn't that he hadn't recovered, but that he wanted to save his skill to deliver a fatal blow and steal the kill at the critical moment.
Furthermore, his Long-range Snipe skill required vision of the target, and given the terrain here, continuous vision could only be maintained within a range of nearly 50 meters.
Previously, Never Sets had approached Liao Fan closely but was almost instantly killed by Liao Fan's powerful magical attacks.
Thus, Never Sets now didn't dare to easily appear within Liao Fan's attack range.
Masumi Taichi naturally knew Never Sets was lying, but he didn't dare expose him and could only give a cold snort.
He vented his anger on his own people, shouting furiously, "Bakayaro! Have you all not eaten? Put every ounce of strength into the chase!"
"If Turbid Wine Among Flowers escapes, I'll skin you alive!"
The elites of the Magic Dragon Guild had grievances they couldn't voice and could only respond in unison, "Hai!"
At the same time, they did their best to catch up with Liao Fan.
Meanwhile, Liao Fan, who was fleeing at high speed up ahead, suddenly noticed a large group of figures appearing directly in front of him.
His eyes instinctively darkened, but just as he was about to attack, he was pleasantly surprised to find that these people were all players from the Great Xia Region.
At the same time, these local server players also spotted Liao Fan.
"Whoa! It's Turbid Wine Among Flowers."
"His red gorilla mount is way too cool!"
"I really want a flashy mount like that."
"..."
There were about two hundred Great Xia Region players here, who had just finished surrounding and annihilating several teams of peripheral players.
When the leader saw Liao Fan approaching, he even greeted him, "Brother Wine, why are you running so fast? Is someone hunting you down?"
Just as he finished speaking, a Wind Blade spell fell from the sky and slashed toward Liao Fan.
Fortunately, the Savage Overlord Ape jumped in time, dodging the attack.
While dodging the attack, Liao Fan also warned them to retreat quickly: "You guys get out of here quickly. A group of foreign server guys is hunting me down, and they're not easy to deal with."
Although there were over two hundred Great Xia Region players here, their combat power was average, and they couldn't possibly be a match for the powerful foreign server enemies behind him.
"Bastards from foreign servers are hunting you?"
The leading Great Xia Region player's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Brother Wine, you go first. We'll hold them off for a while here."
Then, he turned to the brothers behind him and shouted, "Prepare for battle!"
Liao Fan was stunned; he never expected these local server players would bravely step forward to help him like this.
As he suddenly stopped, the enthusiastic Great Xia player, acting as the leader here, shouted loudly, "Brother Wine, just go ahead with confidence! We don't have many points on us, so it's no big deal even if we get killed once."
"But you're currently ranked fourth in the entire server, one of the prides of our Great Xia Region. If you die once, the loss would be huge."
He continued, "Don't worry, as long as one of us is still standing, we will never let a single enemy cross this point!"
A deep sense of emotion welled up in Liao Fan's heart, and he cupped his hands to thank everyone. "Thanks, brothers."
Just then, three figures with imposing auras and equipped with top-tier gear rushed out like tigers descending a mountain.
They were Gamile, Kuta, and Shenling, all three of whom were first-rate foreign server powerhouses.
"What a bunch of overconfident fools, actually thinking they can stop us. How utterly ridiculous!"
The three of them mocked, "Killing you lot is as easy as crushing a swarm of ants!"
