Chapter 45: 45, Planning to Kill the Wolf King! _1
Translator: 549690339
Su Yu was leading the [Howling Moon Wolf King] towards the direction of the cliff.
However, the process of luring a creature was not as simple as “release spell + run away”. It involved a high level of technical skill, especially when dealing with a boss creature that possessed a degree of intelligence.
As Su Yu had entered the [Howling Moon Wolf King]’s threat range, he noticed the Wolf King didn’t attack him. Instead, it gave a seemingly “confused” expression that felt almost anthropomorphic.
Through this expression, Su Yu deduced that the Wolf King was rather intelligent.
And, with such intelligence, these boss characters would not hesitate to leave once they felt like they stood no chance of catching their enemy, or when their health was critically low and they believed they could be defeated.
Therefore, Su Yu had to put on a believable “performance” while leading the Wolf King to the cliff.
He had to incite a sense of deep humiliation in the Wolf King, encouraging it to chase him-
And also create the illusion that it was close, very close, to killing this despicable human, so as to keep the Wolf King constantly chasing him without giving up.
This was purely a test of courage and acting skills.
And so, a heart-stopping chase began in the Wolf King Valley!
Su Yu’s acting was superb.
The Wolf King’s enormous claws barely grazed his body over a dozen times, once even tearing his chest armor.
But Su Yu always managed to “barely” and “luckily” survive.
The [Howling Moon Wolf King] was utterly furious now.
This despicable human was as slippery as an eel in its hands.
There were countless opportunities to tear this human to shreds, but somehow, he always managed to escape, as if by luck.
Seeing that its health was still at a healthy 85%, the Wolf King stopped considering other factors and focused solely on pursuing Su Yu, trying its utmost to kill him.
The ordinary [Howling Moon Wolves] along the way couldn’t keep up with their pace and were easily left behind.
Chasing each other, the man and wolf climbed up the slope behind the cliff,
drawing closer and closer to its edge.
On the surface, Su Yu was panicked and his face was full of despair. He even appeared to stumble while running.
But in actuality, he was as steady as a rock.
He managed to precisely evade the Wolf King’s attacks each time, even finding opportunities to cast a few spells and scrolls.
Gradually, the Wolf King’s health dropped below 60%.
The wise creature started to sense that something was wrong.
Why was it that despite running and running, its injuries were worsening, yet the human in front of it refused to die?
And why was this human leading it to the mountain top (it didn’t know that there was a cliff ahead)? Any wolf would know that the space to evade at the mountain top was smaller and climbing uphill consumed stamina, which was not conducive to escape. How could this human make such an elementary mistake?
Hence, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] stopped chasing Su Yu and slowly came to a halt.
It lowered its head, panting heavily, trying to recover its stamina while contemplating whether to retreat.
It had been summoned by the Wolf God and needed to destroy the human village in half an hour!
But just at this moment,
Like a camel that had been overloaded by the final straw, Su Yu fell heavily to the ground, his eyes tightly shut, as if unconscious.
At this moment, he was only 6 to 7 meters away from the cliff.
The Wolf King was elated – this despicable human had finally collapsed!
It immediately activated the [Pounce] skill, lunging towards the collapsed Su Yu at the fastest speed.
This time, it should be able to kill this human, right?!
But just as the Wolf King activated [Pounce], Su Yu’s eyes snapped open.
And he wore a satisfied smile, reminiscent of Jiang Taigong, the ancient Chinese strategist.
The fish has taken the bait!
Su Yu cast the [Flash Skill], towards the direction of the cliff.
A beam of white light flashed by, and his figure appeared over a dozen meters out in the air off the cliff.
The [Howling Moon Wolf King] couldn’t control its body during the [Pounce] process and lunged towards Su Yu’s position after he used the Flash Skill, its massive body jumping off the cliff.
Ha ha ha ha!
Argh
Ooo-
Accompanied by Su Yu’s hearty laughter and the heart-wrenching howl of the
Wolf King, man and wolf plummeted from the sky.
Actually, by doing this, Su Yu had used the game’s judgement rules to his advantage.
[Pounce] and [Charge] are similar types of skills.
When a warrior uses [Charge] against a mage, if the mage uses the Flash Skill during the first half of the warrior’s charge, then the warrior will charge to the mage’s new location after the flash;
If the mage uses the Flash Skill during the second half of the warrior’s [Charge], then the warrior will charge to the mage’s original location before the flash.
This rule exists mainly to nerf mage players.
If a mage player hastily uses the Flash Skill upon seeing the warrior player use [Charge], then the mage player will still get hit by the charge.
Only when the warrior is in the latter half of the charge, and a Flash Skill is accurately deployed, can the mage distance himself from the warrior.
But now, Su Yu had perfectly utilized this game rule, implementing Flash Skill at once during the Wolf King’s [Pounce], successfully leading the Wolf King off the cliff.
This could entirely be said to be a seasoned player’s complete obliteration of a noob (Wolf King)!
Of course, once Su Yu finished making the flash, it didn’t mean he was suddenly idle.
Due to the Wolf King’s pounce, it was now very close to him. If the dying Wolf King stretched out its claw, it could kill him instantly!
He was, of course, fully aware of this.
So as soon as the Wolf King got close, Su Yu first pulled out a [Summoning Rock Element] scroll, placing a solid rock element between him and the Wolf King to prevent the Wolf King from attacking him directly.
Then he cast [Ice Nova].
He hadn’t used Ice Nova in the process of the Wolf King chasing him because the control effect of strong control skills diminishes against monsters.
He had been holding off on using [Ice Nova] until now, and it finally came into play!
A giant ice ring exploded from Su Yu at the center, freezing both the Wolf King and the rock element together.
The Wolf King stared hard at Su Yu, who was so close, but it was now controlled by the ice ring and couldn’t raise a claw.
After freezing the Wolf King, Su Yu quickly took out a large-sized bag from his backpack, facing the rising airflow to open it, with the bag’s mouth facing downwards.
The rising air instantly filled the bag, and like having an extra goblin glider pack, Su Yu’s falling speed immediately decreased.
The Wolf King didn’t have anything to reduce its speed and could only follow the pull of gravity to the forest floor, along with the rock element.
Argh—Ooo
The Wolf King’s howl echoed through the valley once again.
The wolf cubs in the valley seemed to sense their leader’s impending doom, and they also started to howl.
The cliff was about 500 meters high.
It would take about 10 seconds for the Wolf King to fall from the top.
And its [Pounce] cooldown time was 15 seconds, meaning it couldn’t escape by [Pouncing] on another animal near the ground as it fell.
The damage from falling was extremely high, and the Wolf King’s defense was too poor. If it fell from a height of 500 metres, even if it were full health it would undeniably die!
so.
The Wolf King’s body solidly kissed the ground, its health bar instantly dropping to zero.
Bang!
Blue and green items exploded from its body and flew high into the sky, creating a beautiful “equipment rain”.
Among them, a strand of golden light was particularly eye-catching!
