A High-Altitude Pursuit

Whoosh--

A long arrow pierced through the air from behind Xiao Fan.

"Get to the left!" Qin Muyu shouted.

Without turning his head, Xiao Fan dodged sharply to the left, the arrow almost grazing past him.

Before Xiao Fan could regain his footing, three more long arrows flew in from behind.

"Fly downwards."

With Qin Muyu's reminder, Xiao Fan dodged the long arrow behind him once again.

"Fly upwards."

Xiao Fan did as instructed without hesitation.

This time, however, as he flew upwards, the cage he was holding met the incoming arrow head-on.

"Damn it! Brother Chen, move over a bit, we need to move too!"

Fortunately, the fat man and his companions reacted quickly and were not hit by the arrows.

However, a long arrow still grazed the fat man's face, giving him a fright.

Sorry, I forgot about you.

Xiao Fan felt embarrassed and apologized.

He was so focused on dodging the arrows that he forgot the prison where the fat man and his men were located was open on all sides, making them easy targets.

The first few arrows seemed to be just a test, but when Qin Muyu steadied himself and looked back, he saw a dense crowd of people raising their bows and arrows and aiming them at them.

"These bastards are trying to kill us!"

The fat man turned around and saw this scene; his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Brother Chen, hurry up! They're serious this time!"

The fat man screamed in terror, and the others also looked grim.

With limited space in the prison, they simply couldn't dodge so many arrows.

But they dared not let Xiao Fan abandon them.

After all, they are currently thousands of meters in the air, and with their current physical strength, the death rate from falling would be 100%.

What to do?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan turned around and glanced back.

He was so startled by what he saw that he almost dropped the cage.

"Are these bastards sore losers?"

It was supposed to be a racing competition, and they're using so many props, which is one thing, but not just any props!

Driven by extreme fear, Xiao Fan flapped his wings and flew even faster.

To make it easier for Shadow Realm Player to shoot arrows, those with bows and arrows stood on the flying players to make aiming easier, which also caused their flight speed to decrease somewhat.

Their leader for this operation was the president of the Game Association, Salted Fish, one of the top ten experts in the Shadow Realm. However, he was hit by a huge pot that fell from the sky and hasn't caught up yet.

The person in charge now is Jasmine, the vice president of the Game Association.

Jasmine's game level is already 200, which puts her in the top tier among Shadow Realm Player.

Unfortunately, she didn't fully utilize her in-game attributes, resulting in a significant reduction in her strength.

What surprised Jasmine the most at that moment was Xiao Fan's pair of large golden wings.

"That's going on for way too long."

In the Ranked Match version of the game, flight will be enabled. Players can create their own flying vehicles, and the flight time depends entirely on the flying vehicle created by the player.

However, it usually doesn't last too long; the longest Jasmine has ever seen a flight in the game is only about 20 minutes.

The reason why players on their planet can fly for so long is because they have integrated this skill into their Profession; even so, they can only fly for about half an hour at a time.

Jasmine calculated that Xiao Fan had been flying for more than ten minutes and showed no sign of landing.

This level of flying vehicle is definitely considered to have a very long lifespan in the game.

Moreover, the large golden wings are very beautiful, at least cooler than her Mechanical Wings!

A glint of greed flashed in Jasmine's eyes.

If she can capture this player from another dimension, she must steal his Golden Wings.

Thinking of this, Jasmine couldn't wait any longer, and she waved her hand at the players behind her.

"Release the arrows!"

In an instant, countless arrows wove into a net in the air, flying towards Xiao Fan and his group.

"Brother Chen! Fall! Fall! Fall! Let's fall down quickly!"

The fat man turned pale with fright when he saw the dense barrage of arrows flying towards him from behind.

If that gun comes flying at them, they'll be turned into pincushions.

"Don't miss out! Look down there!"

Wind Snow Traveler pointed downwards, his lips trembling.

They all lowered their heads.

Below them, flying in dense swarms, were also Shadow Realm Player.

"Damn! There are so many people!"

"This is their stronghold, how could there not be a lot of people here!"

The fat guy and the others didn't know, but Xiao Fan knew perfectly well.

Almost everyone in the Shadow Realm is a player, and they are currently exposed high above the city, making it dangerous for them to go anywhere!

"Brother Chen, think of something quick! If this continues, we'll be riddled with arrows!"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, a familiar Big Iron Pot fell from above the arrows, knocking most of them down.

Xiao Fan adjusted his position slightly and flew into the gap created by the Iron Pot, dodging the volley of arrows.

"That was close!"

The people in the prison, whose hearts were pounding in their throats, only dared to breathe heavily after dodging the long arrow.

The thrill of life and death being beyond one's control is something only those who experience it truly understand.

Xiao Fan's health is now down to about 8%.

He summoned the Big Iron Pot once at the beginning, using half of his health.

He just used the skill <Gift of the Saint>, which not only accelerated his speed but also increased his health by 8%, giving him enough health to summon the Iron Pot a second time.

To be honest, Xiao Fan never expected that the most useful part of the <Wine of Blood Brewing> skill would be the Iron Pot, not the wine itself.

"Damn it, they were definitely the ones who threw that pot away!"

Jasmine, seeing the familiar Big Iron Pot behind her, immediately understood.

This isn't a residential area, so how could Iron Pot fall from the sky? And it always happens at crucial moments, just in time to help these players from other dimensions escape their pursuit.

Although she didn't know where they got the Iron Pot, Jasmine was furious to see that this all-out attack had failed to harm the players.

"All-out archery!"

"I refuse to believe they still have Iron Pot!"

In fact, Xiao Fan is indeed gone.

His skill has a four-minute cooldown, and even if it did, his current health wouldn't be enough to summon another Iron Pot.

"Brother Chen, they're here again!"

Seeing the Shadow Realm Player behind him shoot an arrow again, the fat man quickly spoke up to warn him.

Even more frightening is...

"Jiu Chen! Look down."

Wind Snow Traveler said.

Xiao Fan looked down and saw that the group of players below had also nocked their arrows and were aiming them at them.

"It's over! It's over! What are we going to do?!"

Xiao Fan activated his skills, healing himself while accelerating to try and shake off the Shadow Realm Player.

However, given the huge level difference, he couldn't shake off the people from the Shadow Realm at all, not to mention he was also carrying his nine useless teammates.

"What to do?"

Xiao Fan was sweating profusely with anxiety.

He wasn't afraid; his passive skill, "Stealing Heaven and Changing Day," was already activated. Even if he was shot with seventy or eighty arrows, he wouldn't die for a while. But it was a different story for Fatty and the others.

"Xiao Fan, look ahead!"

Qin Muyu's voice came, and Xiao Fan quickly looked up.

"This is..."

"Residential area?"

About two hundred meters ahead of them stood a dense cluster of tall buildings.

The buildings are very close together, making it look like a large residential area.

The residential areas in the Shadow Realm are not as neatly arranged and uniformly planned as they were on Earth in Xiao Fan's previous life.

Looking around, these tall buildings are stacked one on top of another, rising and falling, yet they exude a unique sense of order amidst the chaos.

Xiao Fan instantly understood Qin Muyu's meaning.

They could enter the residential area and use the apartment buildings to avoid the long arrows.

This method is perfectly feasible!

"Hold on tight!"

Xiao Fan shouted and suddenly accelerated, carrying the cage as he flew towards the residential building in front of him.

Seeing what was happening ahead, Jasmine behind him immediately understood Xiao Fan's intentions.

But she didn't expect that even in this situation, Xiao Fan would still accelerate.

Those golden wings must have been truly precious.

Jasmine was both angry and anxious, and spoke to the Shadow Realm Player below.

"You guys shoot arrows too!"

Upon hearing the command, the Shadow Realm Player below immediately released their arrows, but due to Xiao Fan's sudden acceleration, their arrows deviated slightly from their intended trajectory.

The entrance to the residential area features a quaint red gatehouse.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan landed at the same level as the gate tower, dodging a volley of arrows from behind.

Then it accelerated again and flew into the residential area.

"Wow! That was so exciting!!"

Seeing that danger had passed, the fat man shouted excitedly.
