Chapter 173: Combat Power Ranking Showdown On A Narrow Road
That thing isn’t just Vines; there’s a Man-eating Flower inside. The Digestive Fluid it spits out can knock 20 Health Points off a Player, and it also corrodes Clothing and hair.
Paper Airplane 354 panicked and fled blindly. Yu Jiang overtook from Lane 1, turned the steering wheel, and in Paper Airplane 354’s scream, directly sent him flying.
“Sorry, I, I was wrong, aaaah I apologize, don’t crash into me!!!”
Yu Jiang turned a deaf ear. Sorry? It was just fear.
She didn’t give the other any chance to use a Prop Card to counterattack. She turned the steering wheel while flooring the accelerator, ramming the other’s Vehicle until it was scrapped in several hits.
Number 35 Eliminated. Yu Jiang successfully picked up two Prop Cards.
Immobilization Card, Negative Status Removal Card.
Yu Jiang satisfactorily continued forward to chase. She didn’t actively Attack or seize Prop Cards from others’ hands, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t counterattack.
30km. Yu Jiang finally returned to 7th place. Those at the tail could pick up at most some Points others missed; Items were basically unobtainable.
During Instance Merge, staying in the Top Ten was relatively safe. Rushing too fast made one easy to be Targeted.
Afterward, Yu Jiang picked up two more Prop Cards: a golden Reflection Card and an Acceleration Card.
Acceleration Card is good; useful for impacts from behind.
34km. The Instance was about to merge. Yu Jiang focused her Spirit, paying attention to the movements around her.
35km. When Yu Jiang’s group rushed past the Road Sign prompt, a large group of Players merged in from Both Sides.
Originally only over 20 people left, the Instance page instantly jumped to 105.
Players from other groups had Numbers of different colors above their heads. Yu Jiang had no Kung Fu to count how many Instances merged in. At a time like this, any carelessness meant game over.
Yu Jiang dropped from 9th to 30th, still 5 Lanes. Resources in the latter half were clearly more abundant, and the refresh Speed was faster too.
These Players who killed their way out from various groups were even more Crazy.
Bouncing into the sky with Springs was basic operation, plus throwing Small Cannonball Prop Cards mid-air like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
Underground, bang bang bang. Vehicle hit once meant 5 Loss.
Someone was quite Unlucky, swerving left and right with fierce operations like a tiger, but checking showed plenty of Small Cannonballs taken, directly Eliminated.
Yu Jiang was behind, picking up Dropped Items at the fastest Speed. Picking up on-site from behind was just satisfying!
She hooked the corner of her mouth, using the Poison Moth for cover to shake off the other’s Tracking.
The Player who used the Cannonball Card stiffened, eyes twitching. “Damn! She got away cheap!”
What does Green Group Number 6 do?! Picks up and runs, so Proficient it makes one furious.
No, her green Quick-drying Clothes were covered in Scales Powder, yet she could still accelerate without any direction deviation. First time seeing someone use Poison Moth as cover.
This steady? Even hallucinations can be endured.
Yu Jiang didn’t dare be too flashy now; crossing several Lanes to grab 5 Points was too risky.
With more people on the Lane, plus Roadblocks, the passable Space became even less, no room for any mistake.
She just wanted to stick behind the Players fighting most intensely, first grabbing some benefits.
40km.
A Super Fireball Card ahead! Yu Jiang was about to drive over when the next second, a metal Iron Claw reached out, grabbing the Prop Card and retracting in just a few seconds of Kung Fu.
Something to it.
Yu Jiang looked over: Blue Group Number 8, also with Off-road Kart. The other made a ‘bye’ gesture toward her.
Facing a weapon that could quickly Pickup, it was normal not to grab it.
He had such a big Advantage; plenty of people must be eyeing him. No rush.
Yu Jiang followed unhurriedly behind. Player count down to 72. Various indiscriminate Attack Prop Cards landed on the Road, plus colorful Numbers above Players’ heads—total Chaos.
45km. More and more Players noticed Blue Group Number 8, sneaky tripping or boldly throwing Prop Cards nonstop; almost every minute someone was Eliminated.
Blue Group Number 8’s Resources were indeed abundant. Facing the blockade, he wasn’t panicked at all and even blocked back with Prop Cards.
Yu Jiang sensed something off and hurriedly slowed down, staying away from that group.
Sure enough, as several Players gradually formed an encirclement around Blue Group Number 8, he used a golden Super Fireball Card.
The next moment, across 5 Lanes centered on him, front and back 50 meters, dense small Fireballs rained down one by one.
“Ah, you damn bastard!”
“Holy shit, holy shit!”
“Kid, if you have the skills, don’t run!”
The group was all in the Fireball Card Attack Range. Not Eliminated, but getting hit by Fireballs hurt.
Hot Wave spread in all directions. Players just out of Poisonous Fog didn’t react, slowed too much; with a piercing friction sound, his Vehicle plunged headfirst into the Fireball Attack.
Luckily Yu Jiang slowed down early and wasn’t affected. Super Fireball Card Effect lasted only 10 seconds.
She didn’t wait for the time to end but seized a gap where Fireball Drops widened, floored it straight in, and used Points Pickup Card at the same time.
Within 5 seconds, automatically absorb nearby Points, with a chance for Critical Hit Effect.
Items wouldn’t work; had to pick up manually.
Yu Jiang had long eyed the Item Pickup route. No matter how awesome Blue Group Number 8’s weapon was, it could only pick one thing at a time.
Now, ahead 100 meters, over a dozen Prop Cards burst out. As long as Speed was fast enough, she could pick them!
Under Blue Group Number 8 Player’s gritted-teeth glare, Yu Jiang picked up a Healing Card, a Pass Card—ignores Roadblocks for direct passage within 10 seconds.
Plus a Prop Card that slows the target by 50%.
Yu Jiang not only picked up the Prop Cards he knocked out but also Pursued him. This guy was a powerful Competitor; rare Opportunity, had to press him.
Someone else had the same idea. She was in Lane 2 when a dark grey Off-road Kart charged over from Lane 5 at ferocious Speed. The driver was also a female Player, face covered with Windproof Face Mask and Goggles.
When Yu Jiang threw the Fireball Card, she consecutively threw 2 Roadblock Cards to block Blue Group Number 8 Player’s path.
Seeing this, Yu Jiang held nothing back and decisively added a Poisonous Fog Card.
Not really Cooperation; if these two strong enemies could be taken out together, even better.
“You two are ruthless!” Blue Group Number 8 Player squeezed out.
Female Players driving Off-road here were each more ruthless than the last!
These two came crashing from left and right—was it a Go-Kart or a tank?!
He was Man and Woman Killer, Combat Power Ranking sixth, first time taking such a big loss.
Road completely blocked. After two hits, even the chassis loosened. He could only grit his teeth, pull out his trump card early: 5-second Invincible Card, fleeing fast.
Yu Jiang sighed regretfully but wasn’t surprised. With such an awesome Iron Claw for picking Items, how could he lack a bottom card?
So easy to Eliminate, and he’d still be a strong enemy?
Red Group Number 2 Player smirked coldly under her Face Mask. Stole her Prop Cards and think it’d be fine?
She couldn’t tolerate anyone else stealing her things; once was enough.
Man and Woman Killer was well-deserved; he was on the Combat Power Ranking, and so were Yu Jiang and Red Group Number 2 Player.
They didn’t know each other’s Nicknames but could roughly gauge each other’s Strength.
Yu Jiang and Red Group Number 2 Player exchanged a glance, both eyes full of Desire to Win. Just now they teamed up on someone else; now they almost simultaneously accelerated to grab Lane.
For some reason, Yu Jiang always felt the other seemed familiar.
Red Group Number 2 had Face Mask plus Goggles; Yu Jiang had Goggles plus Mask made from old Quick-drying Cloth, with small vents cut at the nose.
Covered too thoroughly, plus so much time passed and changed aura. Neither recognized the other; they had once fought on the Road, and Yu Jiang grabbed the Bayonet.
