I speedrunned the fairies' game!

Chapter 15 I thought it was a speed bump (4K2 combined)

The "Starry Sky Shuttle," which was speeding along the mountain road, suddenly came to a stop halfway up the mountain.

Then, the cabin shook incessantly for a full half hour before finally stopping.

"Thank you, Holy Maiden. I feel much better."

Inside the driver's cab, Chen Ran shivered, sat up, and his eyes were clear and bright, like those of an ancient sage.

No, there's no need to elaborate.

Seemingly quite frightened by the high-speed chase, Luo Shenggu's cheeks were still flushed, and she did not get up immediately.

She remained lying in the passenger seat, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead against her cheek, obscuring her expression. "I'm willing to believe you this time, but remember—"

There will absolutely not be a next time! You'd better not even think about it!

"Good good."

Chen Ran smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

These mature, ethereal women, who appear aloof but can roll their eyes to the heavens when they're being overly affectionate, generally have a moderate and conciliatory nature.

For example, if you say you want to kiss or cuddle, she definitely won't allow it.

But if you directly suggest that we have a more in-depth conversation, she'll likely agree to kisses and hugs.

In other words, if the inn's first incident was an accident, it was a calculated and weighed strategy.

So this time.

She has truly fallen into depravity.

"Alright, Holy Maiden, we've reached the halfway point. Let's go get that bald 'Dugu Xiao' out of the cave first. His sworn brother, Situ Hong, should be arriving soon."

Chen Ran got back to business and casually draped the wide black robe over Luo Yuling's straight, snow-white shoulders.

Throughout the entire process, Luo Shenggu remained motionless. She lowered her head, staring blankly at her chest, her face contorted with shame and indignation as she clenched her teeth and muttered, "You little madman!"

"what?"

Chen Ran was taken aback, then realized something and smiled, "Holy Maiden, this is actually a good thing—"

"In this way, you won't have to expend your internal energy like last time, and we won't have to worry."

"Shut up." The Holy Maiden of Cangming gritted her teeth, glaring angrily at the young man. "Turn around! I will handle this myself!"

"good."

Chen Ran was too lazy to argue, and his fingertips quickly slid across the rune control panel to restart the shuttle.

Just then, a wild and arrogant shout came from a cave not far away: "Hahahaha! You brat! You damned witch! My sworn brother is here, he's here to pick me up! You're all going to die!"

Inside the cockpit, the two men were taken aback.

That's when.

From below the mountain came the faint sounds of violent and evil shouts of killing.

"Brothers, charge!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Those who offend the Tomb Raiders Sect, no matter how far away, will be punished!"

"Sect Master Situ has said! Whoever rescues Chief Dugu first will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces! Whoever kills the kidnappers will be rewarded with five thousand gold pieces!"

"Yay! As long as there's money, let's hunt to our hearts' content!"

"Oh, you're here already?"

Chen Ran looked towards the foot of the mountain.

Sure enough, a dark mass of people came into view, surging up the mountain from all directions like a tide!

At first glance, the number of people must be in the thousands!
It turned out that the main force of the Tomb Raiders Sect had arrived.

"Damn, this is a real army of locusts!"

Despite being prepared, Chen Ran was still somewhat surprised to see the scene in person.

Unlike the Beggars' Sect, which is a well-organized secular gang.

The Tomb Raiders in the game are composed of desperate outlaws from all over the country who have taken countless lives. Their rules are loose, and they kill at will.

Once a player kills a tomb raider, they will be relentlessly hunted down by a large group of tomb raiders no matter where they go.

The most disgusting thing is that these things swarm in huge numbers, and you can't kill them all. Players call them "shit monsters".

"wrong."

Seeing this scene, even the invincible Luo Shenggu's expression changed slightly. "How could so many tomb raiders suddenly appear in this small border area between Qi and Chu?"

"Didn't I say that before?"

Chen Ran said calmly, "The Tomb Raiders Sect is currently plotting a world-shaking treasure near the Golden Sandalwood Temple. Situ Hong, the head of their Star Moon Hall, is determined to obtain this item, and has therefore mobilized almost all of their Tomb Raiders disciples from the Qi and Chu regions."

"Given this situation, how will you respond?"

Luo Yuling, having dressed in her robes and veil, coldly snorted, "I told you beforehand, this is your own fault. I will not take action unless absolutely necessary!"

"puff."

Chen Ran couldn't help but chuckle: "The Holy Maiden previously said she wouldn't help me no matter what, but now she's added the prerequisite of 'only as a last resort.' What's the reason for that?"

"you"

Luo Yuling blushed, then turned her head away, crossed her fair legs, and ignored the young man. "I won't bother with you, you little brat. Let's see how you defeat the enemy!"

"Don't worry, it's not that difficult."

Chen Ran's fingers flew across the control panel like a phantom, "If we can't beat them, can't we at least run away?"

"Ha, how ridiculous."

Luo Yuling's tone was cold and disdainful: "You swore earlier that you would use Dugu Xiao to capture Situ Hong alive, and I thought you had some skills. Now it seems all you can do is run away? Or perhaps—"

She narrowed her beautiful eyes. "From the very beginning, you were planning that I would help you once more?"

Chen Ran stared intently at the proud fairy before him with his handsome eyes. "Aunt Luo, I'm telling you, this is really what I think. Are you still willing to help me? In other words, when Situ Hong storms the mountain, will you just stand by and watch him chop me into mincemeat?"

In the game, Situ Hong, the leader of the Tomb Raiders' Sect, is an elite monster in the wild that is unrelated to the main or side quests. When players encounter this guy during their early adventures, they will generally choose to take a detour to avoid fighting him.

There's no way around it; this thing is called a wild monster, but its combat mechanics are extremely abnormal. It can easily defeat most of the side quest bosses in the early stages, such as the Black Evil Fox in Tai'an City.

Even a speedrunning pro like Chen Ran would wait until he reached a higher level in the mid-game before seeking revenge and taking the "secret treasure token" from Situ Hong.

But this is the real world now.
He was really looking forward to finding a "new" way to get his hands on the treasure scroll ahead of time.

"."

At this moment, in the passenger seat.

Unexpectedly, the young man's answer was so direct. Luo Yuling's expression froze, and she immediately lowered her head.

The atmosphere remained silent for a full three breaths.

A cold, eerie female voice drifted over:

"listen."

"If you die, I will wipe them out, leaving no one alive! It will be a way of avenging you."

"But I will never help you before that."

"I, Luo Yuling, despise men who are untrustworthy and boastful!"

"Yes, Aunt Luo, we met by chance, and that's enough, really." Chen Ran was unusually sincere, looking at her with gentle and genuine eyes.

A complex look flashed across Luo Yuling's eyes. After a long while, she asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"The Holy Maiden will find out soon."

For the first time, Chen Ran placed both hands on the control panel.

Luo Yuling roughly understood the young man's intention. "Even if you can really break through in this shuttle, what about Dugu Xiao in the cave? Are you just going to watch Situ Hongjiu be rescued? If so, wouldn't everything you did before be a waste of time?"

"Dugu Xiao can't escape."

Chen Ran said coldly, "After I tied him up, I forced him to drink the 'Seven Deadly Poisons' that I personally concocted. He just let out a howl, which accelerated the effects of the drug. He's probably already on his way to meet the old patriarch of the Tomb Raiders Sect."

"Alright, Holy Maiden, hold on tight to the handrail."

Chen Ran rolled down the oval porthole made of Vajra Demon-Slaying Stone, completely covering the cockpit. "Next, I'll take you on a proper charge."

call out!
The entire main cabin of the airship radiated dazzling light.

Luo Yuling steadied herself, her gaze piercing through the transparent porthole as she surveyed the surrounding terrain. She coldly rebuked, "You stupid, pig-like boy, you're afraid of death and only want to escape, but you don't use your brain at all."

"Look at yourself! Three mountain paths at the foot of this mountain converge on this main path. If you want to fight these thousands of people head-on on this main path, what are your chances of escaping and winning?"

"How much? 100%!"

No matter how many routes you take, I will only go one way!

Chen Ran stared coldly at the dark, swarming army of locusts in the distance, his eyes flashing like lightning.

At the same time, his right hand gripped tightly the bronze valve handle inlaid with crimson patterns on the right side of the control panel. That was the "Psionic Limit Valve" of the Starry Sky Shuttle.

Normally, we only dare to open 30% of the capacity.

And at this moment...

With a flick of his little hand, he pulled it all the way down!
Drive it to the limit, sprint!

"Boom boom boom!"

The entire pink flying boat transformed into a streamlined pink-gold comet, speeding towards the main mountain road!

With devastating force, the blast wave sent rocks flying everywhere, and the bushes along the mountain road were instantly crushed into dust!
Enter the co-pilot.

Luo Shenggu's pretty face beneath her veil changed color completely.

At that moment, she finally understood something.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings.

It turns out that this young man never intended to escape!
he.
He wanted to die together with this group of vicious tomb raiders!

The lower half of Wuwang Peak.

The tomb raiders, divided into three groups, converged on the main mountain path, preparing to launch a final assault on the mountainside.

Meanwhile, they were at the rear of the main force.

A red-haired man with bulging muscles, a towering figure, and a ferocious appearance held a broken jade tablet in his hand and stared at the mountainside with bloodshot eyes.

A deacon cautiously approached and said, "Master, the jade token of Chief Dugu is broken. Doesn't that mean he's already..."

"Yes."

Situ Hong crushed the jade tablet in his hand into powder, his tiger eyes glistening with tears. "I don't care who's provoking our Tomb Raider Sect. Anyone who dares to kill my sworn brother, I'll storm the mountain right now, skin him alive, tear him to pieces!"

At this point, he let out several painful howls, his scarlet hair standing on end, making him look like a demon from hell.

Another deacon quickly reassured him, "Alas, the brotherhood between the Hall Master and the Chief of the Dugu Clan is truly touching, but please be rational for now. The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the light."

The words have not yet fallen.

Snapped!
A slap landed with all its might.

The deacon was sent flying into the air by the blow.

"Sense? How do you want me to be sensible?"

Situ Hong's forehead veins bulged. "Do you even know how many spirit stones that bastard Dugu Xiao owes me! I could sell all his concubines and daughters and it still wouldn't be enough to compensate for the loss!"

"All disciples, heed my command!"

"Once we're up the mountain, kill them all without mercy! Even a fly you see, swat it away! I'll show the world what happens when you oppose me, 'Thunder Hand' Situ Hong!"

He mustered his strength and roared hysterically.

However, the order has not yet spread.

There seems to be a violent commotion among the main force ahead!

"Damn it! He's insane! I've run into a lunatic!"

"Brothers, let's run! Run for your lives!"

"Damn it, this is insane! Get back down the mountain! If you don't want to die, then get back!"

A series of panicked voices rang out.

Situ Hong's expression changed drastically, and he looked around.

On the mountain path, countless severed limbs and broken arms were seen, accompanied by blood-stained rocks falling down.

The once-propelling army was now fleeing down the mountain, trampling each other along the way, resulting in countless deaths and injuries!

"This"

"What the hell happened?"

Seeing that the three thousand elite troops entrusted to him by the sect leader had been lost inexplicably, Situ Hong was heartbroken, both angry and astonished!

"Master! Run! Run!"

Among the fleeing troops, a trusted subordinate ran up, shouting, "Flying shuttle! Some bastard came crashing down the mountain in a flying shuttle! That damned flying shuttle, I don't know what it's made of, is incredibly hard. Several Foundation Establishment cultivators who were leading the vanguard were crushed into dust!"

"A flying shuttle? Who the hell can drive a flying shuttle on a mountain road?"

Situ Hong looked at him suspiciously and glanced at him carefully.

A streak of pinkish-gold light swept down from the mountainside, sweeping everything in its path.

"Master, run! That bastard is really coming!" Another deacon pleaded, "This mountain path is too narrow. Let's go down the mountain first, find out what's going on, and then we can fight another day!"

"Should I avoid his sharpest attack?!"

Situ Hong roared, and as his palms flew, a fierce true energy wrapped in purple lightning rose around his body. He actually charged forward to meet the pink and gold light!
boom!
His body collided solidly with the front of the flying shuttle, which was covered by the Demon-Slaying Stone.

He was able to see the entire shuttle!
It was a bright pink flying shuttle.

Through the transparent porthole, a cold-looking young man sat in front of the cockpit, his eyes meeting his own.

"Why not avoid it?"

In a daze, he vaguely heard the young man asking him a question.

"Because I'm not afraid!"

He said through clenched teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, a "crack" sound of bones breaking came from his whole body, and even his soul seemed to be shaken to pieces!

"Actually"

"We should probably avoid it, sigh~"

Master Situ let out his last sigh.

next moment.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

His hard, iron-tower-like body instantly shattered into pieces, turning into a bloody mist.

In an instant.

The once deafening battle cries of Wuwang Peak have now turned into a deathly silence.

In the stillness of the night.

The only sound was the "plop" of blood dripping down the cliff.

"boom!"

The reckless shuttle suddenly stopped at the foot of the mountain.

"crunch-"

Chen Ran opened the oval porthole, and the pieces of corpse and bloodstains attached to the outside of the porthole fell off with the airflow.

"You madman! You really are a madman, young man!"

Seeing the bloody scene around her, the usually ruthless Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect was shocked, and her stomach churned.

"However, to extinguish emotions and sever all humanity to this extent..."

"This child possesses an innate demonic cultivation physique! If he were willing to return to the Cangming Sect with me to assist Xingyao..."

She thought so in her heart.

After a moment of contemplation, he tentatively asked, "Tell me the truth, did you see this group of villains attacking the mountain just now? Were you terrified and decided to throw caution to the wind, which inadvertently led to the extermination of these locusts?"

"It's not that cruel."

Chen Ran opened the cockpit door with his elbow and walked straight towards Situ Hong's body.

"I thought it was a speed bump."

"Done!"

Chen Ran took the high-grade storage bag from Situ Hong's waist and easily cracked the code with a few deft movements of his fingertips.

"clang!"

The gilded "Mysterious Heaven Key" landed steadily in his palm.

A smile finally appeared on his lips.

"This time, we've got twin martial souls."
