A Race to (Be) The Top

"Get out of the way, let me deal with them, the dog-beating stick method—"

Ling Xiaolu took the lead...and was stopped by Ji Meng.

"You," he yelled at the prison guards, "do you know how many people came outside?"

The dogs were all stunned.

"There is only one colleague who stays at the door to charge. Do you think it can collect so many visit fees by itself?"

The dogs panicked.

"If you can't collect it, you will force your way in. With so many people breaking in together, do you know how much money you will lose? Even if you can collect it, do you think it will fill your pockets, or will it be equally distributed to every dog ​​present?"

Dogs, you look at me, I look at you, they dropped their guns and ran away without a trace.

Ling Xiaolu stared dumbfounded: "Is this okay?"

"It should be safe here for now."

"But I have to go out and show my face," Ling Xiaolu said. "The ones who come here are just road explorers. If you can't find me, everyone will think that I am deliberately deceiving them. Only when I am sure that I am on the island will there be more people." people landed on the island."

"You will be arrested if you show up now, I will take you out." Ji Meng turned to Zhenjiu, "You stay here."

Everyone doesn't know that Zhenjiu has escaped from the prison. For the sake of a smooth escape, it is better to keep silent for the time being.

Zhenjiu told Ling Xiaolu: "Be careful."

Ji Meng's flying dragon carried Ling Xiaolu through the exit of the tunnel, knocking over the passing crowd.

In order to let everyone see clearly, Ji Meng stayed in the air intentionally or unintentionally.

"I see! There!"

"Where is where?"

"On the back of my husband's dragon, with my husband!"

"I'm confused, is this a reward scene, or a rape scene?"

"Offer a bounty to catch the adulterer, kill the deer, snatch the husband, get the bounty, let's go!"

"Hold tight!" Ji Meng manipulated the giant dragon to toss up and down, avoiding waves of long-range attacks, his huge body was extremely flexible.And those skills blocked by its body can't cause any damage like a milk cat scratching someone.

In contrast, Ling Xiaolu is not so easy. The air mount is sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes east and west, sometimes tumbling, sometimes spinning, and pay attention to avoiding various flames, meteors, ice cones and hidden weapons that pass by.He hugged Ji Meng's waist tightly, closed his eyes tightly, and wished he could bury his whole head into Ji Meng's generous back, and made all kinds of strange sounds in his mouth in line with the changing direction of the dragon's flight:

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-

"Yeah yah yah yah——

"My parents—"

This was really the most embarrassing heroic feat in history, Ling Xiaolu put his head on Ji Meng's back again, but still couldn't ignore the whistling wind in his ears.

"Are there enough people here?!" He didn't dare to open his eyes.

Ji Meng manipulated the dragon to make a huge 360-degree circle in the air, observing the surrounding situation while dodging the attack.

"It's already a lot!" Behind them alone, there are at least a hundred flying mounts chasing after them.

"Why isn't the server exploding!" Ling Xiaolu yelled.

"I told you, it's impossible to explode!... Bow your head!"

Ling Xiaolu lowered his head subconsciously, and a group of bats flew towards his head densely, their wings flapping the air, and an extremely uncomfortable sound came from the eardrums, and many of them crashed into the giant dragon to death, making non-stop crackling noises.

A new enemy flew towards him, attacking back and forth, cutting off Ji Meng's way.He gritted his teeth decisively, and the dragon swooped towards the ground like a high-speed rotating drill.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa—"

Ling Xiaolu was so distracted that his mind was completely confused. He suppressed his fear and opened his eyes a crack, and was horrified to find that there was a crowd of people on the ground waiting for him eagerly.

Seeing that the dragon was about to collide violently with the ground, the crowd in the target area began to scramble to escape. The dragon's head suddenly lifted, carrying the two of them flying vertically upwards. Ling Xiaolu was torn by gravity and wind under high-speed movement, and his long-strength arm suddenly A moment of numbness, loss of consciousness.

"I-hold-don't-hold-la-"

The speed was too fast and the wind was too strong, Ji Meng could not hear clearly.

"what?!"

Ling Xiaolu couldn't hold on any longer, let go of his hand, and fell off the dragon's back.

Ji Meng's heart sank: "Lubi——!"

The falling Ling Xiaolu's mind went blank, and the reward for being killed goes to the killer, so what about the one who fell to death?Should the bonus belong to the earth?

Ji Meng managed to stop his mount and turn around to save him, but Ling Xiaolu fell so fast that he was unable to recover.

A black shadow sprang out from the ground, and Ling Xiaolu's falling speed slowed down suddenly.He regained his senses, and found that he was hugged in mid-air by Zhenjiu. The huge crow wings behind him were covered with dense black steel feathers again, and each piece was quenched with cold light.

"Zhenjiu! Your feathers have grown!" Ling Xiaolu hurriedly cheered for Zhenjiu before he was out of danger.

"Yeah." If Zhenjiu hadn't used both hands to hug someone, he would also like to touch the other person's head.

Seeing that Ling Xiaolu was fine, Ji Meng heaved a sigh of relief without even realizing it.

"Idiot! This can all fall!"

Ling Xiaolu refused: "You fly too fast! The roller coaster is not as fast as you!"

People in the sky and the ground witnessed the scene of Zhenjiu saving lives.

"Big big, big devil?!"

"Didn't he be sent to prison by Kou's father?"

"How did he get out? Isn't the prison in the game known as impenetrable?"

"I knew the prison here couldn't hold people! Prison guards are dogs!"

"It's over, I'm going to the valley today, will the big devil take revenge?!"

"My god! It's crazy! How many people are here? Money is not life!

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! I'm almost squeezed into a pizza!"

……

The island shook suddenly, and a striking system announcement appeared in the center of everyone's virtual screen, and everyone stopped.

【System Announcement】Because it is detected that there are too many people online in the Unnamed Island area, which exceeds the maximum load of the local area, in order to ensure the healthy operation of the game, a short server restart will be performed in this area after 60 seconds.During the restart of the server, players outside the prison will be randomly teleported to nearby towns. Players in the prison should leave the scene as soon as possible.After the restart is complete, the access to the prison will be temporarily closed, and the prison visit service will be suspended until it is re-opened after no fault is detected.Thank you for your cooperation, and the operation team apologizes for the inconvenience caused.

[System Announcement] The restart countdown of Wuming Island, 60, 59, 58, 57...

"What do you mean? The server is restarting?"

"It means that people outside the prison will be sent away at random."

"What about the people in there?"

"The people inside can only stay here, and they can't leave until the overhaul is completed."

"Why don't you leave now? Who wants to be trapped in prison?!"

[System Announcement] 40, 39, 38...

The gate of the prison opened, and everyone rushed out in a swarm. The dogs at the gate were still busy collecting entry fees just now. When they looked up and saw the huge army roaring towards them, they were shocked.

Ling Xiaolu and his party also took advantage of the chaos and rushed out. The scene was chaotic at the moment, and no one was in the mood to pay attention to the fact that there were three more people in the crowd who shouldn't be there.

"What's a million walking? Let's see 100 million running!"

The running 1000 million was tripped by a cat, pawed, and fell.

"Ugh..."

[System Announcement] 18, 17, 16...

Ji Meng dragged the man up from the ground with all his strength, took his hand and ran towards the gate of the prison.

"Let you whimper!"

"I told you my feet are weak!"

Ling Xiaolu looked around and found that even the cat fled out with the crowd.

"The cats are gone!" he exclaimed.

"Don't worry about it so much!" Ji Meng roared, what time is it, this man still cares about cats!

【系统公告】10、9、8、7、6……

Counting down for ten seconds, Ji Meng simply lifted the man up a few meters and leaped out.

"Where is Zhenjiu? Has Zhenjiu followed?"

"Take care of yourself first!"

Zhenjiu spread its wings and slid across the sky, one in each hand, sending the two of them outside the door at a critical moment.

"Successfully hit base!"

[System Announcement] 3, 2, 1.The server is restarting, please wait patiently for the transmission...

……

The jailbreak trio met at the agreed upon location.

"Prison escape plan, success!" Ling Xiaolu raised his right hand high and gave Zhenjiu a high-five, and then wanted to do the same celebration with Ji Meng, but the other party turned his head unwillingly.

"Hmph, good luck."

"Don't be angry," Ling Xiaolu withdrew his hand and comforted him, "This is also a check for your server, right?"

"I'm going to complain to the hardware team and ask them to upgrade the server immediately!"

"Thank you, little brother." Zhenjiu said.

"Don't thank me in advance, it's not over yet." Ling Xiaolu closed his eyes, "This is my first time in the game, please be gentle."

Zhenjiu pursed her lips: "Okay."

The knuckles wrapped in gloves gently stroked Ling Xiaolu's neck, and with a touch of tenderness, Ling Xiaolu became a ghost.

Ghost: so easy

Ghost: I don't feel it yet

Ghost: So death is nothing to be afraid of

Ghost: Placards are fun

Ji Meng: "..."

With a dark face, Ji Meng used the resurrection technique on Ling Xiaolu, and in the blink of an eye he became a lively hero again.

Zhenjiu took out all the rewards from Ling Xiaolu, and bid farewell to the "reward" that accompanied him for many days, Ling Xiaolu was still a little bit reluctant.

"You transfer Ji Meng's money directly to him, and you keep Dou Zha's share for yourself."

Zhenjiu just wanted to trade, and stopped again.

"If you trust me so much, are you afraid that I will take the money away?"

He asked this to Ji Meng, who snorted coldly.

"It's not a loss if you exchange 1000 million bucks for a deerbi who recognizes you."

Zhenjiu smiled and completed the transaction without saying a word.

"You gave too much." Ji Meng said after the transaction.

"Not much, exactly 1000 million."

"The system deducts 10% of the commission and gives me 900 million."

"It's mine."

Ling Xiaolu listened to it for a long time before he realized that the bounty had to be drawn by the system.He was the one who called Ji Meng to help, so of course he can't be allowed to pay the money, and Zhenjiu is very poor, so Ling Xiaolu slapped his chest: "Don't fight, I'll pay for the money!"

Ji Meng looked at him with contempt: "You? Are you rich?"

Ling Xiaolu dug out the bounty and counted it, and it was more than 20.

"Not enough for now, but I can make up for it slowly."

He sighed again: "But the house will be bought later."

"You live in my house, why do you want to buy a house?"

"I want to buy a house of my own and let Zhenjiu live here."

"You still want to buy a house for him to live in? Ah? Do you still want to live with him?" Ji Meng was furious.

"What's the matter, you don't know how hard he lived, squeezed in the NPC's house, which was only this big... and was snatched away by Dou Zha." Ling Xiaolu was also very angry when he thought of this.

Ji Meng didn't care about how Zhenjiu was doing. Now he wanted to arrest him, lock him up, and stay away from those dubious brothers, master, and father, even if he severed the relationship!

Zhenjiu watched the two angry bickering and gave up explaining.

"Speaking of Dou Zha, this time's matter can't be left alone, I must avenge Zhenjiu's revenge!" Ling Xiaolu clenched his fists.

"It's up to you?" Ji Meng didn't want to flatter Dou Kou, he just wanted to criticize Ling Xiaolu.

"Of course it's not enough for me alone. I've decided that I want to form a family and compete with Dou Niwan!"

"It takes at least ten people to create a family. Do you have any?"

Ling Xiaolu bent his fingers: "I, you..."

I can't count.

"Why not count me?" An unexpected speech.

"Zhenjiu? I thought you were a lone ranger and wouldn't want to join the family."

"Didn't you decide to set up a family to avenge me? How can I be absent?"

Ji Meng sneered: "Very well, the upper limit of the family is three people, and he will guarantee that no fourth person will dare to come in."

"If you are afraid, you can give up your position."

"Why? I was the first one he counted!"

"Sorry, the first one he counted was himself."

"Better than someone who doesn't even have a name!"

"Stop arguing!" Ling Xiaolu interrupted them, "You can join, Zhenjiu, but I have one condition."

"Don't you do anything to the family members? Of course I understand this."

"Not really."

Ling Xiaolu said seriously: "I want you, no, you two promise me that if today's incident happens again in the future, don't put me in an eggshell to protect me, and don't let me watch you face it alone. Danger."

He said every word, sonorously: "I know that my strength is too far behind you to be worth mentioning. For you, whether I participate in the war has no effect on the outcome. But even so, I will I don't want to hide aside, to be the chick under your wings, the dangerous egg in your dragon's nest. I also want to fight with you in an upright manner and do my best.

"I'm still a newcomer, I can still grow, and I want to be as strong as you! We have difficulties, we face them together, we have to die, we die together! This is a game. There's nothing to be afraid of dying. What's afraid of is powerlessness. Like today's The feeling of powerlessness, I never want to experience again!"

He stretched out his right hand, palm down: "If you agree, join me!"

The other two didn't move, Ling Xiaolu looked left and right, Ji Meng still had an expression of being out of order.

With his free hand, Ling Xiaolu forcibly grabbed Ji Meng's hand and placed it on the back of his hand, then stared at Zhenjiu on the other side.

Ji Meng frowned, but didn't withdraw his hand.

Zhenjiu under the mask hooked the corners of her lips, and put her hand on it, and the three palms overlapped.

"I listen to you." He spoke softly, pressed down with three hands hard, and then raised them high into the air.

"Fight together!"
