It was utterly spectacular.
It was a miracle he could become everyone’s enemy and receive a response.
Soon, besieging Qingqiu became the consensus of all the players. Many of them began to report his escape route.
Soon, some idle players began to take the initiative to gather this information. They opened a few posts to update Richard’s whereabouts in real-time.
Some players even took the initiative to provide information to the NPC that caused Richard to suffer a few losses.
After the NPC rewarded a player’s information with a strategic treasure, it starkly aroused the players’ enthusiasm to hunt Richard…
Richard had no time to care about the forums, so without him knowing, millions of top players had joined forces because of him…
On the 3rd of June, at 8:00 sharp. Richard, who had spent a lot of effort to escape from the enemy’s hands, revealed the aura of the third princess in his arms for the second time.
The pursuing troops not far away from him appeared one after another.
Because there were too many enemies, they could not escape with speed like before.
Knowles barely broke out of the siege after it drove the extraordinary hunter through a b.l.o.o.d.y battle.
However, at the most critical moment, the supreme demon of the Covenant of Evil faction appeared and cut off their escape.
This forced Knowles to activate the life-saving skill of the extraordinary hunter — s.p.a.ce Teleportation. He retreated to a thousand meters away and continued to flee…
Large patches of it had already been shattered after such an intense battle, even though this mechanical puppet was level 20.
Three hours later, at 11 o’clock sharp, the aura within the princess’s body spread out for the third time.
This time, Richard was not worried about being exposed, because he had not been able to escape from the enemy’s pursuit in the past three hours.
If not for the extraordinary hunter that could activate the Superpowers Overload and increase its speed by five times and the sublimely durable mechanical puppet, the enemies could have trapped it into a tight besiege.
But even so, this level 20 war machine was damaged beyond repair and could be destroyed.
The pursuers were too powerful.
The elves’ unicorn pegasus, the dwarves’ airship, the Templar City’s dragon, the templar griffin, and the angels on both sides.
This power could make anyone’s heart tremble.
The pursuers were still splendid. They were scared of the Third Princess being in Richard’s arms, so they didn’t dare to attack at will.
But the Covent of Evil faction responsible for hunting him was different.
The great demons of the abyss, the archdukes of h.e.l.l, the bone dragons of the undead, and the black dragons of the dungeon race, as long as they saw her, they would shoot her first.
They were ultimately aiming to kill the Third Princess.
They had caused the extraordinary hunter great danger. They caused most of the broken scars left on its body.
In the end, the Oath of Light faction had to split a portion of their forces to stop the Covenant of Evil faction from killing the Third Princess.
14:00 noon.
After the blood loop revealed the fourth aura, the mechanical puppet Knowles was driving exploded and exposed a colossal hole in its chest.
The figure of a supreme demon flashed and disappeared.
The level 20 mechanical puppet finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
After barely withstanding the aura for five long minutes, the gigantic figure of the mechanical puppet suddenly disappeared.
In front of it appeared the figure of a level 19 dwarf, Knowles.
At this moment, the other party was sitting on the abdomen of a four-meter-tall puppet. The level of this puppet had also dropped from level 20 to level 19.
Its performance had been reduced by more than ten times, although there was only a one-level difference.
Initially, it could still block the sharp edge of the pursuing troops, but now it could only escape.
However, without the extraordinary hunter’s intense speed, in just a few breaths, the figure of an elf unicorn pegasus appeared in front of it… There was no escape.
But just as it was about to enter a desperate situation…
Richard’s body suddenly emitted an endless yellow sand glow.
The next moment, the ground turned into sand, and he fell into it with Knowles…
The pursuing troops were stunned, and then they began to attack wildly.
But they could no longer find any traces of Richard after the Sand Transformation emptied the sand.
After they pursued him for several hours, they ultimately found nothing. And Richard was even able to escape under their noses.
Everyone’s expressions became extremely ugly. They felt a great humiliation at this moment.
Meanwhile, the players tracking and reporting on Qinqiu were also stunned.
“No way… How could Qingqiu escape? Aren’t these NPCs too useless?”
“F*ck! Qingqiu is simply incredible. I can’t understand how this guy can be so exceptional. Is there any fairness left?”
“Everyone, don’t be discouraged. Since it’s an S-rank mission, it definitely won’t be so easy to complete. Continue to search. Once you find it, provide the information to the NPCs. I don’t believe we won’t be able to kill him!”
The heated discussion continued…
The pursuing troops searched the surroundings for three hours. At 18:00, their aura was revealed for the fifth time.
Only then did they realize that that b.a.s.t.a.r.d was ultimately hiding in a lake.
However, when they rushed over, spatial energy surged. The other party had suddenly moved from one side of the map to the other side…
s.p.a.ce Teleportation?
Richard had fooled them!
As this thought arose, the s.p.a.ce Teleportation exploded violently.
The explosion completely disrupted the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
The thought of following the other party was immediately interrupted.
This scene ultimately ignited the fury of these top-tier soldiers.
All of their faces were ashen.And their fingers were clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds.
“d.a.m.n! Why did they suddenly move over a hundred kilometers?? What did Qingqiu do??”
“s.p.a.ce Teleportation… What a good trick!!”
The players looked at Richard, who had escaped again, and suddenly felt helpless.
“Is this guy still a human? Why is he still safe and sound despite being pursued at such a high intensity?”
“How many tricks does he still have hidden?”
******
“He entered the dimensional plane through this spatial crack…”
In a valley, Ferguson and Knowles gestured to the surging spatial crack in front of them like a water curtain. Their gazes were somewhat complicated.
They had already used all their tricks in the past more than ten hours.
A power above level-14 could not enter the dimensional plane, isolating the enemy’s top-tier severity.
This could buy Richard more time to catch his breath.
If they stayed outside, they wouldn’t be able to survive the rest of the time.
But they also knew that the real test would come next.
Richard had to face the enemy alone.
Although there were many methods set up by the Scarlet Council, in front of such a domineering hunter, it was still a question of whether he could survive two breaths…
In the end, he might be the only one left to fight.
“The Third Princess’ power has already been sealed. It won’t affect you from bringing her in. The suppression of the plane won’t lift the seal. You don’t have to worry.
“President Jones has already left Templar City. Although he can’t free his hands yet, as long as he can stall for time, he’ll immediately control the plane stone and close this spatial crack.”
Richard took a deep breath.
“There are only five breaths left… Fifteen hours.”
He smiled as he spoke.
“Ferguson, Knowles… Wait for me to come back.”
As he finished speaking, he slowly extended his hand, and Ferguson held it tightly.
Knowles was anxious when he saw this. He immediately raised his hand and held it. But because of his height, it was a little strange now.
The two looked at the dwarf’s appearance and smiled at each other.
Everything was said without saying.
Knowles raised its head and smiled.
At this moment, the relationship between the three rose to another level.
[Ding~ The relationship between Knowles and Ferguson has risen to respect.”
The relationships in the “Shining Era” were divided into mortal enemies, hatred, strangers, friendliness, intimacy, respect, and worship.
Each level represented a certain degree.
Although the three had not known each other for a long time, the friendship forged in the flames of war was always uniquely strong.
Richard’s mood also improved a little.
After they finished this farewell ceremony, Richard turned around with the Third Princess in his arms, intending to enter the dimensional s.p.a.ce.
If operated properly, he could have wasted another opportunity for his pursuers. When the enemies caught up and found that they could not enter the dimensional s.p.a.ce, they could only redeploy their troops.
However, before they could step into the dimensional s.p.a.ce, Knowles walked in front of him with short steps and handed him a pitch-black iron ring.
The dwarf felt his heartache as he spoke.
“d.a.m.ned human brat!! I knew that you had your eyes on my great treasure. Although it’s more than half broken now, you can still use it once or twice…”
“I’ve already erased the brand within it. You can bind it to it if you drop your blood on it.
“I spent all my savings to make this!! I won’t even let that idiot Ferguson touch it!
“The dimensional plane doesn’t allow above level 14 power. Once you use it, it will be damaged if you support it after five minutes at most… But this can save your life.
“You need it more than I do now.”
Richard was startled. He reached out to receive it, and the system notification rang.
[Ding~ Knowles (level 19 dwarf hero) has gifted you a level 20 extraordinary hunter mechanical puppet (broken). You can bind it by dripping blood on the control ring.]
