Chapter 46: Chapter 46 – Running and Arriving

Trees stood close to each other in the Midnight Forest. Their trunks were thick, so only a few parts of the forest, including the trail, could be passed by an adult human.

Max's running speed slowed down considerably in this terrain.

On the other hand, animals that had lived in the forest since birth could navigate easily.

If this went on, the pack of wolves could catch up to Max and kill him.

Swoosh!

'What should I do?'

As he ran between trees and jumped over boulders to give the wolves a slip, he formulated a plan to escape from them.

'Fighting them all is impossible. I will probably die or get badly injured. Thus, the bonus quest from the system would fail. I can't afford that.'

Without a doubt, Max's running speed was fast. He also could pass through the obstacles easily. If it were any other players, they would definitely die in the first minute of the chase.

He was halfway into the forest. There was no way back now, and the way out was still around 4 to 5 minutes away with his current speed.

"Awooo!"

At that moment, one of the wolves managed to catch up and pounced at Max, opening its mouth, ready to bite his shoulder.

— Be careful!

— Shed his blood! Give it to me! I want to suck it

— Wolfie caught up to Breeze!

"Tsk!" Max clicked his tongue and turned around.

He immediately threw his bag into the wolf's mouth and rolled on the ground. Using his experience in parkour, he managed to retain his speed and continued running as the wolf shredded his leather bag into tatters.

"That was close!" He exclaimed as he jumped between the trees, giving him enough time to widen the distance between him and the pack of wolves once again. "I almost died..."

— You should ask him to sit

— Or paw.

— Or bite...

— Breeze is really good. To think he fed the poor wolf his smelly bag... Devil...

"I did it to survive."

Max looked over his shoulders and saw the pack of wolves still chasing after him. They were so persistent and wouldn't stop until they tasted his blood and flesh.

"They are still chasing after me! Is the smelly bag not enough?"

— They don't like your smell!

— Breeze, why don't you just jump on the tree and dodge those wolves? I remember they won't be able to climb tree

— REJECT HUMANITY AND RETURN TO MONKE!

— Embrace your ancestry! Floor Gang will be proud if his theory of evolving backward is proven!

Reading the chat's suggestion, an idea flashed in Max's mind.

— There is truth in his words, but... Why do I feel that something is wrong?"

"It's just your imagination," Max answered the chat and looked around, finding the best path to tread through branches.

"Anyway, I need to finish this mission as soon as possible. Start the countdown. If I am unable to reach the next destination in 5 minutes, I will gift 5 Punch premium to random viewers."

— That's a deal!

— Wohooo!

— Do it, sucker!

— Oh, I will!

At that moment, another notification came.

Ding!

[Bloodsucker has started a mission.]

[Stream Mission: Reach the objective in under 3 minutes.]

[Reward: 10,000 diamonds.]

— Hyahaaa!! He did it! What will you do, Breeze?!

"3 minutes, huh?" Max muttered as he stretched his legs and hands. His footing area was narrow, so he could only move his toes slightly.

Licking his lips, he looked at the camera, "Thanks for the money in advance, Bloodsucker. I am glad I set the minimum amount to 10,000 diamonds. I actually can finish this in under 3 minutes."

— You're lying! You said 5 minutes!

— Hahaha! He got baited!

— Poor Bloodsucker... Or rather, you should just change your name to BreezeWalkingBank now.

— Guys... You are awful

"Nah, they are just worried about you. Anyway, let's do this."

Having said that, he kicked the branch at full strength and jumped into another one. As soon as he landed, he began to run as if the branches were solid ground. They only shook after he already landed on another branch.

His speed was ridiculously fast, only a bit slower than when he ran on solid ground.

When there was no good branch to step on, Max used the tree's trunk as a footstep and jumped on another branch. On one occasion, he even grabbed the branch above him and used it to swing around.

The viewers were speechless as they watched him move around like a monkey.

— Hahaha! REJECT HUMANITY!

— RETURN TO MONKEY!!!

— N-No, why is he so fast?!

— Sucker, it seems you will lose another $200 now.

— Good sucker. He's supporting Breeze with all his strength... Or rather money

— HE'S CHEATING!! Run on the ground!!!
