68: Da ka, wow!

What is called a dimensionality reduction strike?

For example, someone is being chased by a chainsaw maniac, but his bodyguard is Ultraman.

Summary: Can't play at all.

The Old Shaman was carried at the back of the team. Although he was fortunate enough not to be sent flying in the first wave of explosions, he felt that he was not far from dying on the spot.

Deafening roars continued one after another. His followers, who were initially high-spirited, had now been scared out of their wits by the exploding gas tanks, fleeing in terror just to dodge those round canisters.

In the earlier pursuit, the Old Shaman's men had already scattered into a chaotic mass. And when fleeing, numbers were no longer an advantage; those at the back instead became obstacles to escape.

The Flame Armor, which should have harmed the enemy, also became a great weapon for backstabbing itself. Wherever a gas tank rolled, it exploded, and the remaining flammable gas would cause secondary damage afterward.

Amidst the wails, the burning explosions continued, and as the enemies crowded together, fleeing and pushing, a stampede occurred. The fear of death made them abandon everything, even stepping on their teammates, just to escape the place.

The dust from the explosion prevented Cheng Zhen from seeing the situation on the other side, and the Old Shaman was also swallowed by the crowd, nowhere to be found. He could only see that the Flame Armor on the enemy soldiers had disappeared, not knowing if the Old Shaman had actively canceled it or if the spell stopped working after he was gone.

If the Old Shaman had died, Cheng Zhen's mission would be complete. But if that guy ran away, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

Cheng Zhen had already learned through his Appraisal skill that the Heaven-Granted Ability could only be used once a day. So, when the Flame Armor disappeared and the enemy fled, it was time for a counterattack!

"Warriors!"

Cheng Zhen activated remote communication, allowing everyone to hear his command: "Go forth and pursue, utterly defeat the enemy!"

To motivate his employees, he didn't forget to paint a rosy picture:

"Kill one enemy, get one bowl of beef noodles!"

"Capture the Shaman, get ten bowls of beef noodles!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Warriors, whose morale was already high, instantly lit up like hungry wolves.

Cheng Zhen himself was tired of beef noodles, but that didn't mean others were.

Just now, Cheng Zhen had distributed food on the way to prevent the NPCs from having their attributes lowered by hunger.

And those few newly surrendered tribes, just like A Kun Duo and the others when they first slurped noodles, polished their bowls again and again in the shock of 'how can there be such a delicious taste in the human world'.

If Cheng Zhen hadn't been in a hurry, the new NPCs would have licked the bottom of the bowls clean.

Now the leader actually said, one head for one bowl of noodles?!

The Warriors immediately rushed towards the enemy like Yasuo seeing a knock-up, howling and whooshing.

Beef noodles! Don't run!!!

The dense crowd charged forward, shaking the sand dunes and making them shed powder. Fortunately, this wasn't a snow mountain, otherwise, they could have caused an avalanche.

"Cough..."

Cheng Zhen waved his hand, clearing away the raised dust.

This damned Desert is no place for people to stay, but fortunately, it would be over soon.

"A Kun Duo, you guys go bring over the cushions."

Cheng Zhen stretched, asking someone to bring his throne.

Most of the Warriors had already gone in pursuit, leaving only the wounded and other Raiders (strategists/players) behind.

A Kun Duo and several NPCs from the Sand Fox Tribe did not pursue. Their top priority was to protect their leader, so they remained by Cheng Zhen's side, awaiting his command.

However, besides them, there were others who also didn't pursue.

Cheng Zhen looked at the dozens of NPCs not far away, a look of confusion on his face: "Why didn't you go after the enemy?"

"Because they had other arrangements."

Xiao Xi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Old Xu next to him frowned, just about to speak, when an unexpected change occurred.

Xiao Xi's figure instantly darted out, attacking Cheng Zhen at an extremely fast speed.

"Be careful!!!"

Zhou Xing felt something was wrong and reached out to block, but he couldn't stop the opponent's skill.

A bone blade was pressed against Cheng Zhen's neck, seemingly able to easily slit his throat.

"Although he's just a newcomer, he's really amazing."

Xiao Xi appeared behind Cheng Zhen, his face full of a triumphant smile.

Cheng Zhen looked at him with a cold face, the Pencil-tailed Tree Mouse in his pocket squealing in fright.

"What do you want to do?!" Old Xu angrily pointed at Xiao Xi, "We spared you, and you actually repay kindness with enmity!"

"No choice, who told the rewards for the special ending to be so tempting!"

Xiao Xi scoffed at Old Xu's accusation: "A special ending guarantees at least a hundred points, and you can also get items of rare quality or above, good things that you, an old useless person, wouldn't get even after clearing many instances!"

"You should really learn from Jin Yu, who knows how to fight for more benefits for herself."

Hearing Xiao Xi say this, Old Xu widened his eyes and looked at Jin Yu in disbelief, "He treated you like that, and you're still helping him?!"

Jin Yu remained silent.

"So, you're coming to pick the fruits at the end?" Cheng Zhen said coldly, "A petty thief, where do you get the nerve to talk about others?"

"Kid, it seems you don't know your situation."

Xiao Xi snorted: "I guessed it, to get the special title, I can't kill you."

"You think that means I have no way? Heh heh, when I chop off a few of your fingers and two legs, I hope you can still be so tough."

Seeing Cheng Zhen's face darken, Xiao Xi's expression became even more triumphant: "I heard earlier that you plan to let an NPC replace the Vulture Chief, which proves that the position of leader can be passed on to others!"

"Let me become the leader of the Sand Fox Tribe!"

Xiao Xi pulled out another dagger and scratched Cheng Zhen's arm: "Don't wait until you become a cripple before you regret it!"

"You... really won't kill me?" Cheng Zhen said softly.

Xiao Xi showed disdain: "Heh, the special title is far more important than your life, kid!"

"Daga, kotowaru!"

Cheng Zhen smirked: "One of my favorite things to do is to say 'NO' to guys who think they're strong!"

Xiao Xi was fooled, his eyes filled with murderous intent from anger, and he stabbed hard at Cheng Zhen, intending to disarm him of an arm.

But the next second, a thick mist surged out, obscuring his vision.

The bone dagger pierced Cheng Zhen's body, but it was as if it had poked a balloon, a burst of mist gushed out, and then disappeared.

What kind of skill is this?!

Isn't his skill summoning beef noodles?

Xiao Xi frowned, unable to understand why Cheng Zhen would have such a method.

"Heh, nothing more than that!" The figure on the other side of the thick fog sneered, "With this little ability, you still want to control me? Simply ridiculously stupid."

Although he didn't know why Cheng Zhen had such a skill, Xiao Xi guessed it might be a consumable skill or a title skill, and these skills usually had long cooldowns. As long as he caught Cheng Zhen again, he would surely have no escape.

Xiao Xi charged in the direction of the voice, then vaguely heard the frightened squealing of the Pencil-tailed Tree Mouse.

He sneered and activated his skill without hesitation—

[Skill: Follow Behind]

[Effect Description: Lock onto a target with a tail, and follow closely behind it at high speed]

He had previously locked onto Jin Yu's Pencil-tailed Tree Mouse. After getting Jin Yu to cooperate, he told her about his skill, asking Jin Yu to find a way to put the sand rat on Cheng Zhen.

Even if Cheng Zhen escaped once just now, he could still catch him a second time!

Xiao Xi activated the skill, and then his body moved rapidly towards his target as if on AI autopilot.

"I'll chop off your legs first, see if you still... Hmm?"

Xiao Xi, who had rushed behind his target, suddenly felt something was off.

This Cheng Zhen... why is he so dark?

With the skill activated, Xiao Xi rushed into the middle of a group of burly men.

Man on man, men on both sides, men forward and back, no escape from men.

That sand rat was not on Cheng Zhen at all!
