Chapter 358: Chapter 12: Moves Beyond the Game Board_2

This move was not unexpected to Xiao Jie, but it was still quite surprising. The tactic "Hidden Dragon Do Not Use" also had some thought behind it: without entering combat, one could log off, so once the timing was perfect, everyone could log on at the same time, creating an effect similar to "Divine Weapon Descending."

Even the crafty Wolf King probably couldn’t have predicted this.

In an instant, more than forty players had mostly vanished from the spot.

Only a few assassins and wilderness hunters with the ability to hide remained as observers, distributed on the dirt mounds.

Ye Luo was among them.

"I’m saying, Sui Feng, you better be careful not to screw this up."

"Don’t worry, the word ’screw up’ isn’t in my dictionary."

Saying this, Xiao Jie greeted everyone and headed towards the entrance of the Hundred Wolves Cave.

The minor monsters along the way had been mostly cleared out, allowing Xiao Jie to reach the cave entrance unimpeded. Outside the dark cave entrance, several wolf soldiers were standing guard, and Xiao Jie became fully alert.

After searching near the entrance, he indeed found a few young wolves playing around.

These young wolves were neutral units with the small animal attribute, which players normally wouldn’t attack, as they granted no experience when killed.

But to lure out the Wolf King, one must continuously attack the young wolves.

To avoid killing them off too quickly, Xiao Jie switched to a wooden stick and knocked one of the young wolves with it.

The young wolf whimpered pitifully, sounding utterly distressed.

Xiao Jie was indifferent; he had played games for many years, seen all sorts of plots, and killed all manners of enemies. A few small creatures were nothing—he had even wiped out all NPCs in a game to uncover hidden content.

Continuing with his strikes, one young wolf was soon knocked dead by Xiao Jie.

Suddenly, several wolf soldiers rushed out from the cave.

"It’s a human! Kill him!"

"Protect the pups!"

Xiao Jie was unfazed and downed them with a few chops.

He thought that killing the young wolves to spawn monsters must be some sort of scenario mechanic.

Following Little White Dragon’s tip, one needed to continuously attack the young wolves for a certain duration to draw out the Wolf King.

To ensure he didn’t kill off the young wolves too quickly, Xiao Jie had to slow down, hitting them intermittently.

Soon, another young wolf was finished off, but this time a huge mother wolf spawned from the cave.

It wasn’t an elite monster, just a slightly stronger little monster.

The mother wolf howled and lunged at Xiao Jie, who easily dodged with a "Hawk Roll".

One Cut, Two Pieces—Sky Splitting Flash!

Rolling—Thrust—Helical Slash!

A set of combo moves flowed like water, and he quickly ended the fight.

He continued attacking the young wolves, and after the third one was killed, more wolf soldiers were spawned this time.

Xiao Jie had to pull out a big move, using "Wind Roll Cloud" to knock down the majority, then finished off the remaining foes with a few chops.

After taking a Shun Qi Powder to recover some Inner Power Value, Xiao Jie continued killing young wolves.

By the time he had killed four or five young wolves—

A furious howl suddenly erupted from the cave.

Here it comes! Xiao Jie’s heart tightened, and he quickly pulled back, only to see a red figure emerge slowly from the cave.

Chi Mei Jian (Wolf King): Level 22 Boss, Life Value 3000.

It was only a brief glimpse last time, but now upon closer inspection, the creature was massive, about three meters tall, wielding a sword in one hand and a knife in another, both of which were blood-red in color.

The fur of the Wolf King was also red, looking like a deity of death, and its golden wolf eyes shone with ferocity.

Behind him in the cave, the howling of wolves grew even more intense.

Chi Mei Jian (Wolf King): "You despicable humans, you dare—"

Meteor Soul Chasing Dart!

Xiao Jie pressed the skill hotkey and the screen instantly darkened, with seven red dots suddenly appearing on the body of the Wolf King.

This was the unique feature of the Meteor Soul Chasing Dart, upon qi mechanism locking, the skill, when used, would mark all vital points on the target, giving players the option to attack one of these points, hitting the target instantly, nearly impossible to dodge.

Each vital point would deal double damage and inflict different negative effects.

Xiao Jie decisively chose the eyes.

Ah! The Wolf King let out a scream and the status [Blinding] immediately appeared above his head.

The blinding effect would only last a few seconds, but Xiao Jie wasn’t counting on it to have much effect. It was useful to generate enmity and to buy a bit more time.

After throwing the dart, Xiao Jie turned and ran.

"Kill him for me!" Chi Mei Jian roared, and a giant red wolf was summoned. Chi Mei Jian riding the wolf gave chase, while behind him a swarm of Wolf Soldier little monsters charged out from the Hundred Wolves Cave, in hot pursuit.

As Xiao Jie ran, he glanced back at the monsters and was relieved there were no Wolf Demon Priests among them—those creatures could cast spells.

Grass Flying—Galloping!

Xiao Jie activated both skills simultaneously, and with the added speed boost from the Flying Goose Skill qinggong, his speed nearly doubled.

"Chase, chase, chase! I’ll brew wine with that human’s blood!" Chi Mei Jian was relentless, letting out a ferocious howl.

Beast Herd Leader—Speed of the Wolf Pack!

The entire pack of wolves instantly sped up.

Xiao Jie saw the unfavorable situation, knowing he would be caught soon if this kept up.

Godspeed Talisman!

With a flash of white light, Xiao Jie’s speed increased once again.

Xiao Jie did not head straight for the ambush circle as these Wolf Demons were quite intelligent and might notice something amiss. Pretending to be panicked and indecisive, he zigzagged and even feigned a positioning error, getting stuck in front of a few large trees for two seconds. When he was almost caught, he used his qinggong to take advantage of the terrain and temporarily shake off the pursuit. After much circling, the valley ahead finally came into view.

"Get ready, I’m about to be in position." Xiao Jie shouted in YY.

"Everyone, take your positions, prepare to go online!" Hidden Dragon Do Not Use immediately issued the command.

The Wolf King, seeing the valley ahead, clearly hesitated.

Meteor Soul Chasing Dart!

This time Xiao Jie targeted the giant wolf’s forehead that the Wolf King was riding.

The giant wolf, hit by the dart, became enraged and was about to chase furiously, but the Wolf King held back the giant wolf from its frenzied pursuit, inhaling the air forcefully.

Demon Beast Perception!

It instantly sensed the several players ambush around.

The corners of its mouth revealed an almost humanized smile—this few people trying to ambush me?

"Kill!" A single command, and the wolf pack swarmed from behind.

The Wolf King also kicked the giant wolf’s ribs, chasing into the valley.

Xiao Jie rushed through the entrance of the valley, making it to the end in one breath, and upon looking back, he saw a large group of Wolf Soldiers had followed in a dense crowd.

The Wolf King was mixed in amongst the troops.

"Here they come!"

"Go online!"

Flash, flash, flash!

All around the valley, mounds of earth lit up with the white light of many players logging in.

In the blink of an eye, the area was filled with players, taking the high ground and surrounding the wolf pack, leaving the Wolf King stunned and speechless, gazing at the humans who had appeared out of nowhere on the surrounding slopes. He had been tricked!
