Hot Weapons

"Master, why don't we fly back?"

"You might be able to fight off Fierce Beast on the ground, but if you encounter Fierce Beast in the sky, you're doomed."

We're not in the age of flight yet; going into the sky would be suicide.

Xiao Fan and Ye Bugu continued their journey.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Fierce Beast behind them can hold off Shen Long for a while, but it certainly won't be for long, since Shen Long is a level 99 player.

Xiao Fan never expected that even though he was ranked number one on the Combat Power Leaderboard, he would still be hunted down.

"Am I one of those high-scoring but low-ability students?"

Xiao Fan shook his head, quickly banishing the terrifying thought.

Shen Long had been in the game for ten years, while he had only been in the game for a little over four months, so he was just temporarily avoiding the opponent's sharp edge.

"That Old Dog Shen Long is already level 99, and he's personally hunting down a newbie player. He's shameless."

Xiao Fan cursed inwardly as he read the message Yue Bingyan sent.

He was unaware that Shen Long and his group had taken a shortcut, but he dared not let his guard down.

Anyway, he has plenty of mana, so he can keep his skills active the whole time, which can both speed him up and eliminate fatigue.

As it grew darker, and given the inherent dangers of traveling in the wilderness at night, it was not a suitable time to continue.

"Master, there's a Small Gathering Place not far ahead, but I wonder if the Shen Sect members will also be staying there tonight."

Ye Bugu pointed ahead and said.

Xiao Fan was conflicted. If he were alone, he could enter the settlement, change his face, and no one would be able to find him.

But you can bring along Ye Bugu...

We need to think of a solution.

Xiao Fan was brainstorming.

Suddenly, Xiao Fan's eyes lit up.

"We'll split up later. You go first to the gathering place, and I'll lure Shen Long and the others away. I'll come back to find you later."

He has survival skills: he can fly and change his face, so shaking off Shen Long is no problem.

The Ye Bugu, tears stream down my face.

He was so touched!

The master actually lured Shen Long away by himself so that he could escape.

What a wonderful person! He would gladly accept being recognized as his father!

But! Is Ye Bugu the kind of person who abandons his brothers?

But then again, the expert can fly, so he should be fine!

In those few seconds, Ye Bugu's mind raced, but he knew now was not the time to waste.

"Be careful, expert."

"Um."

Xiao Fan nodded.

As they drew closer to the gathering place, Xiao Fan stopped.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for Shen Long here."

Ye Bugu left with a worried expression, heading towards the gathering place.

This is within a small settlement.

"Don't worry, Sect Master. This is the only settlement around here. Jiu Chen and Shadow will definitely come to check it out as they pass through."

His trusted subordinate spoke up.

"Once they appear within range, blast them to pieces."

Shen Long gritted his teeth.

He no longer wanted Xiao Fan's Profession; he just wanted him dead!

This person is growing up too fast; he feels miserable every day he lives.

"Bring me the weapon."

Hearing the sound, a player behind him walked forward carrying something about a meter long. The thing was covered with a black cloth, so it was impossible to see what it was.

Shen Long abruptly ripped off the black cloth, revealing something emitting a red glow...

Rocket.

"Sect Leader, is this thing reliable?"

You can always create firearms in the game.

However, firearms are not as effective in the game as they are in real life.

Because it is quantized, the damage is fixed.

Without the combination of skills, the damage is even less than that of melee weapons; against high-level Fierce Beast, it can't even break their skin.

Players simply start by using melee weapons.

However, there are quite a few players from the White Nation who use firearms.

"A type of gem has been discovered on the White Nation server; incorporating it into firearms can increase their damage. This Rocket is a gem-infused Gem Rocket Launcher."

Shen Long rarely offered an explanation.

Firearms adorned with gemstones are rare even in White Nation, and it took him a great deal of effort to acquire one.

"Sect Leader, we've spotted someone!" a player who had been observing suddenly spoke up.

Shen Long and his two trusted confidants immediately looked outside.

"Why is it only Shadow here? Where is Jiu Chen?"

"I don't know, we only saw Shadow coming alone," the player in charge of observation quickly replied.

"Could it be that we encountered a BOSS on the way and got killed? Didn't the people behind us say there was a level 90 BOSS blocking the way?" one player speculated.

Shen Long shook his head; he didn't believe that Jiu Chen would be so easily killed by the murderer.

"Sect Leader, should we kill Shadow?" the player carrying the Rocket asked, turning around.

"Don't make a move. Wait for him to come in and ask about Jiu Chen's whereabouts."

Shen Long's expression was unreadable. He turned to look at the players in the gathering place and said sternly.

"Anyone who dares to warn Shadow in the current channel, don't blame me for being impolite."

The players behind him quickly shook their heads.

How domineering! They can't afford to mess with the Shen Sect.

Ye Bugu walked further, he felt increasingly strange, since this should have been the time to finish work and return to the gathering place.

Why can't I see a single player?

"No! This can't be right!"

Ye Bugu stopped and turned to run away.

"Sect Master, he's trying to escape."

The confidant suddenly realized, "Shadow was hunted down for years back then, so he has a keen sense of danger. He must have discovered something."

Shen Long's face turned ashen. "Chase them."

Without Xiao Fan's speed boost, Ye Bugu very fast, and he tried to send a message to Xiao Fan as he ran.

"This distance is enough, just blast them away."

Anyone who plays games regularly knows that if you can't catch someone without their knowledge, you have to kill them immediately to prevent them from alerting you.

Ye Bugu felt a strong sense of danger coming from behind him. Then he heard a loud bang, turned around, and his soul almost left his body.

A shell glowing red was flying towards him.

"Ye Bugu exclaimed in alarm.

"It's over."

Just as Ye Bugu in despair, a hand suddenly grabbed the back of his clothes, and then his body began to rise rapidly.

Bang-

The next second, the shell landed where Ye Bugu had just been standing, and the towering heat wave almost made Xiao Fan lose his balance.

Just now, Xiao Fan, who was getting bored while waiting for Shen Long, suddenly received a message from Yue Bingyan.

Yue Bingyan told him that there was a side path on the road they were on that Shen Long might take, and that he should be careful.

Xiao Fan then realized something was wrong. He wondered why he hadn't seen Shen Long anywhere along the way. He had thought he was running too fast, but it turned out that the bastard had taken a shortcut!

After the red light faded, looking at the two-meter-deep pit below, Xiao Fan and Ye Bugu simultaneously gasped in shock.

Xiao Fan: "If I hadn't arrived in time, we wouldn't even have been able to find your body."

Ye Bugu: "Firearms! How can firearms be so powerful? Something's not right!"

This was the first time Xiao Fan had ever seen someone use firearms in a game, and the damage they caused terrified him; he was utterly shocked.

Meanwhile, Shen Long was even more shocked to see Xiao Fan flying in the sky with his Great Golden Wings.

"Why... why does he have wings? Is he even human?"
