Chapter 61 [Seeking support and collection]

In this way, the distance between them was shortened considerably.

Lin Leyou was panting, "This...it's been almost an hour and a half, hasn't it?"

Jiang Xiali looked furious. "Just you wait, that bastard, don't let me get a chance! Otherwise, I'll definitely kill him!"

Lin Leyou, "..."

Very good, it seems this security guard is someone who knows how to make Jiangxiali angry.

To Lin Leyou's surprise, Xue Rui followed behind them silently as before, though he was still exhausted, panting as he ran.

However, Lin Leyou didn't have much energy to care about him right now. He was exhausted from running around. Although there was still some distance between them and the mayor, they absolutely couldn't stop.

Even Jiangxia Li didn't know when the security guard would arrive, so to be on the safe side, they had to maintain their speed, at least so they wouldn't be stopped by the town mayor.

As time went on, Lin Leyou's legs became weak from running, and it was impossible for him to maintain his original speed. Even Jiang Xiali was covered in sweat, and even Xue Rui, who was following behind them, couldn't help but stop to rest.

Moreover... the distance between the mayor and them is getting closer and closer.

When Lin Leyou looked back, he could even see the town mayor's distorted face in the distance, holding a human skull in his arms, which should be his wife's.

The head that was taken away by the chef and buried in the grove.

Lin Leyou recognized the sharp knife in his hand at a glance. It was the butcher's knife he had used before. No, no! This knife originally belonged to the town mayor.

She was also wearing a necklace around her neck, so is this the necklace that Jiang Xiali was in charge of?

Jiang Xiali's expression grew increasingly terrifying, as if he had reached the limit of his restraint.

Lin Leyou asked cautiously, "Are you... alright?"

Jiang Xiali gritted her teeth and said, "It's nothing, how could anything happen to me? Keep running!"

After saying that, he pulled Lin Leyou and continued running forward. Although they were both exhausted, they couldn't afford to waste any more time in order to survive.

Xue Rui, who was behind him, gritted his teeth and followed. He was the last player left in the instance. He had originally hoped to have a chance to complete the hidden quest, but now it seemed that it would be a bit difficult.

Jiang Xiali quickened his pace, and Lin Leyou had no choice but to follow suit.

But the mayor was still following behind, and he hadn't been shaken off at all. Moreover, he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the mayor's speed seemed to have increased.

Xue Rui suddenly exclaimed, "He's gotten faster!"

Good, it's not just my imagination.

Jiang Xiali suddenly roared, "Ugh! So annoying! That bastard, I'm going to kill him!"

Just after shouting, Jiang Xiali stepped into a small pit and stumbled hard, but fortunately she regained her balance quickly and didn't twist her ankle.

Lin Leyou quickly pulled him to his feet, and then the two continued to run forward without saying a word. However, he could see that the back of Jiang Xiali's ears were red.

He... won't expose it.

Two and a half hours had passed, and the straight-line distance between the mayor and them was now less than 300 meters. At their current speed, the mayor would catch up with them in another ten minutes.

Lin Leyou was exhausted and had no strength to speak or observe Xue Rui following behind him. Even Jiang Xiali was trembling all over from running.

The town mayor, who was following behind, became increasingly agitated as they got closer. He had initially just been sticking to them, but now he was constantly roaring deafeningly as he chased after them, displaying extreme rage.

Lin Leyou had no idea what was about to happen, so he could only keep running with Jiang Xiali, waiting for the security guard who was two hours late to arrive.

However, what they didn't expect was that the town mayor, who was chasing behind them, became increasingly agitated and frantically picked up a rock that was more than half a person tall and threw it at them.

Fortunately, it missed its mark and landed with a "thud" at their feet.

Although the rock didn't hit them, the small stones and dirt that flew up when it hit the ground covered them in dust and dirt. Combined with their sweat, they looked even more disheveled.

I wiped my face, and as a result, my face and hands got all dirty.

Lin Leyou didn't think it was a problem that he was a little dirty, but that throwing just now had widened the distance between the town mayor and them.

Lin Leyou planned to keep running, hoping to buy some more time, while Jiang Xiali's expression grew increasingly terrifying, and he kept muttering to himself.

"He did it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose! He's probably hiding nearby watching me make a fool of myself! Just you wait, you bastard surnamed Lin, you just wait and see, I'll definitely let you get away with this..."

Perhaps because his attack missed, the town mayor became increasingly agitated, letting out a piercing shriek from behind, which made Lin Leyou so uncomfortable that he had to cover his ears.

Jiang Xiali frowned deeply, covering her ears in discomfort, but her feet didn't stop; she continued running forward quickly.

But... it seems that continuing to run is pointless now.

Lin Leyou noticed out of the corner of his eye that the mayor had actually lifted off the ground and was floating! The mayor was even faster than before while floating!

"He flew!"

In her panic, Lin Leyou failed to notice that although Jiang Xiali's expression was grim, she was not panicked, which meant she clearly had something to rely on.

They're getting closer! We're about to catch up with them!

Lin Leyou thought to himself, "I'm doomed."

He saw the mayor's sharp fingernails right in front of him, and even smelled the strong stench of blood on the mayor, after all, he had just massacred everyone in Qingshui Town.

At this moment, Xue Rui, who was originally following behind them, was completely ignored. He watched this scene from the side with some surprise. He had always been running at the back, but the mayor bypassed him and attacked the two NPCs in front.

What's going on?

Does this mayor not attack the player? After these two NPCs die, can he continue with the hidden quest?

Wasn't it a bit of a waste for him to run for so long before?

Lin Leyou had no time to pay attention to Xue Rui; he could almost feel the sharp blade piercing his skin.

However, in the next second, the mayor, who was already in front of him, suddenly disappeared from his sight.

Jiang Xiali stopped in his tracks, hands on his knees, panting heavily. Between breaths, he cursed, "You piece of trash, do you know how late you are? Just stand around and watch the show!"

A refreshing voice, tinged with a teasing and irritating tone, rang out.

"Hey? You're alright, aren't you?"

Jiang Xiali probably couldn't stand being covered in dust when facing this person, so she kept patting her clothes, but it was all in vain.
