Chapter 45: The Plan to Kill the Wolf King!
Chapter 45: The Plan to Kill the Wolf King!
Su Yu led the Howling Moon Wolf King toward the cliff.
However, the process of luring a boss with a certain level of intelligence wasn't as simple as turning back to cast a spell and then running away. It required a high degree of skill.
When Su Yu entered the Howling Moon Wolf King's aggro range, he noticed that the wolf king didn't immediately attack him. Instead, it displayed a somewhat human-like expression of "confusion."
From this, Su Yu deduced that the wolf king was quite intelligent.
Such an intelligent boss would not hesitate to leave if it felt there was no hope of catching its prey or if its health was too low, making it vulnerable to defeat.
Therefore, Su Yu had to put on a convincing act while luring the wolf king to the cliff.
He needed to make the wolf king feel humiliated, giving it the motivation to chase him. At the same time, he had to create the illusion that it was just a matter of time before it could kill this annoying human, ensuring the wolf king wouldn't give up.
This was a test of courage and acting skills.
...
And so, a thrilling chase unfolded in the Wolf King Valley!
Su Yu's acting was impeccable.
The wolf king's massive claws swiped past him numerous times, once even tearing through his leather chest armor.
But Su Yu always managed to survive, albeit "barely" and "luckily."
The Howling Moon Wolf King was seething with rage.
The despicable human in front of it was as slippery as an eel.
It had many opportunities to rip this human to shreds, but the human's luck was just too good, always managing to dodge at the last second.
With 85% of its health still intact, the wolf king gave up all other thoughts and focused solely on chasing Su Yu, determined to kill this human with all its might.
The ordinary Howling Moon Wolves along the way couldn't keep up with their speed and were easily left behind.
The human and the wolf chased each other up the hill behind the cliff, getting closer and closer to the cliff's edge.
On the surface, Su Yu appeared panicked, his face filled with a sense of impending doom, even stumbling as he ran.
But in reality, he was as steady as a rock.
He always managed to precisely avoid the wolf king's attacks and even had the presence of mind to cast spells and use scrolls.
Gradually, the wolf king's health dropped below 60%.
The intelligent creature sensed something was amiss.
Why, after all this running, was its condition worsening while the human in front of it remained unharmed?
Moreover, this human was leading it toward the summit (unaware that it was a cliff). Any wolf knew that the summit offered less space to maneuver and that climbing slopes drained stamina, making it harder to escape. How could this human make such a rookie mistake?
The Howling Moon Wolf King stopped chasing Su Yu, slowing down and lowering its head to catch its breath. It was both recovering its strength and considering whether to retreat.
It had been summoned by the Wolf God and had to destroy the human newbie village in half an hour!
...
But at that moment,
Su Yu collapsed to the ground as if the last straw had broken the camel's back, his eyes tightly closed, appearing to have fainted.
However, he was only 6 to 7 meters away from the cliff.
The wolf king was overjoyed; this annoying human had finally given up!
It immediately activated its [Pounce] skill and lunged at the prone Su Yu with all its might.
This time, it would surely kill the human!
But just as the wolf king launched its [Pounce], Su Yu's eyes snapped open.
And he wore a sly, contented smile, like that of Jiang Taigong.
The fish had taken the bait!
Su Yu cast [Flash Step] toward the cliff.
A flash of white light, and he appeared several meters beyond the cliff's edge.
The King Wolf of the Howling Moon couldn't control its body during the Charge and leaped toward the position Su Yu had just flashed to, its massive body jumping off the cliff.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Auuuuuuu!
Accompanied by Su Yu's loud laughter and the King Wolf's heart-wrenching howls, the two of them plummeted from the sky.
Su Yu had actually taken advantage of the game's rule mechanics.
Both Charge and Pounce are skills of the same type.
When a warrior uses Charge on a mage, if the mage uses Flash during the first half of the charge, the warrior will follow to the mage's new position. If the mage uses Flash during the second half of the charge, the warrior will end up at the mage's original position.
This rule is primarily designed to weaken mage players. If a mage player panics and uses Flash as soon as they see a warrior use Charge, the mage will still be hit by the charge. Only by using Flash precisely at the right moment during the second half of the charge can the mage player create distance from the warrior.
However, Su Yu perfectly utilized this game mechanic, using Flash at the exact moment the King Wolf initiated its Pounce, smoothly leading the King Wolf off the cliff.
This could be described as a veteran player's complete dominance over a newcomer (the King Wolf)!
Of course, after using Flash, Su Yu didn't just sit back and do nothing.
Because of the King Wolf's Pounce, the King Wolf was now very close to him. If the King Wolf were to swing its paw just before dying, it could still finish Su Yu off!
He was very much aware of this.
So, as the King Wolf approached, Su Yu first tore open a Summon Rock elemental scroll, placing the solid rock elemental between him and the King Wolf to prevent direct attacks.
Then, he cast Frost Nova.
During the entire Pounce process, he hadn't used Frost Nova because strong control skills have diminishing effects on monsters.
He had been holding onto Frost Nova until now, and it finally came in handy!
A massive ring of ice exploded outward from Su Yu, freezing the King Wolf and the rock elemental together.
The King wolf stared at Su Yu, who was just a few feet away, but now, trapped in the ice ring, it couldn't even lift its paw.
After freezing the King Wolf, Su Yu quickly pulled out an oversized leather bag from his backpack, opening it to catch the rising air currents, which slowed his descent.
The rising air currents instantly filled the leather bag, and Su Yu's fall speed dramatically slowed, as if he had a goblin glider pack.
The King Wolf, with no means to slow its fall, plummeted downward along with the rock elemental, pulled by gravity toward the forest below.
Auuuuuuuuu!
The King Wolf's mournful howls echoed through the valley again. wolf pups in the valley seemed to impending doom fate of their leader, and they howled in response.
...
The cliff was about 500 meters high.
The King Wolf's fall from the top would take about 10 seconds.
And with a 15-second cooldown on its Pounce, it couldn't use the skill to catch nearby animals and escape just before hitting the ground.
The fall damage was extremely high, and the King Wolf's defenses were too weak. Even at full health, a 500-meter drop would be fatal!
Thus.
The King Wolf's the the Howling Moon kissed its body hit the ground,,, its health bar zero.00 impact the meet,, and.
, and its health bar instantly dropped to zero.
Thud!
A shower of blue and green items burst from its body, flying high into the sky, forming a beautiful "loot rain."
"
Among them, a thread of golden light caught everyone's attention!
