Chapter 425: Cheetah

Boom~

The Prison Cage Talisman actually couldn't block the ground's shock wave…

The shock wave passed straight through the Prison Cage Talisman and rippled along the ground.

Boom!

-18793!

When the shock wave hit Su Sheng, it still deducted over ten thousand health!

Terrifying!

Su Sheng glanced at the Prison Cage Talisman; it didn't isolate the zombie bear from the ground, and the shock wave was transmitted directly through the ground…

It's understandable that it didn't block the ground shock wave.

The damage of this shock wave is also excessive.

When the Health Axis reached forty percent, everyone returned to their positions and continued output.

After becoming familiar with the fight, nobody made any obvious mistakes; we just slowly whittled it down.

But when the health approached thirty-five percent, an accident occurred.

Since we hadn't reached the Health Axis yet, everyone's expressions were relatively relaxed.

But just as the health reached thirty-five percent, the zombie bear suddenly darted out.

Su Sheng, right ahead, reacted immediately.

"Oh no! Dad's Prison Cage Talisman!!"

Seeing the boss's sudden move, Su Sheng shouted at once and glanced at the Hate Value.

Could it have pulled aggro?

No way, the Hate Value had been stable just a moment ago.

Upon looking, Su Sheng couldn't help but stare—the Hate Value had cleared!

What the hell is this? We haven't even reached the Health Axis yet!

Pop~

The yellowish talisman exploded.

But it was empty!

At the moment the zombie bear lunged out, its whole body rapidly shrank, turning directly into a Jiangshi Cheetah.

The moment it turned into a Cheetah, the boss's speed surged greatly!

So the Prison Cage Talisman came up empty.

This is also one of the Prison Cage Talisman's weaknesses: it can only be cast at a fixed point, and if the target is fast enough, you can completely dodge it before it even unfolds.

Su Sheng has done this before, dodging the Prison Cage Talisman by speed.

Su Ba threw out another Prison Cage Talisman; the Grand Void Sigils stored several of them.

But the Cheetah's speed was too fast; although Su Ba has improved lately, his anticipation is still lacking.

Two of them came up empty in a row!

"Don't waste them!" Su Sheng saw this and stopped Su Ba's action.

The Prison Cage Talisman's cooldown isn't short to begin with; wasting the stored ones means you'll have none left at critical moments.

Su Sheng checked the boss's trajectory; it looks like the skill was triggered by a random hate-based target selection.

Lin Huan!!

This time, the boss's target turned out to be Lin Huan.

Lin Huan's reaction wasn't slow either; as an Honor Hall player, he immediately sidestepped with a slide.

But the boss is even faster! A level 65 quasi-commander-rank boss Druid gains extra speed and agility after transforming into a Cheetah.

Earlier, while fighting the Elf Statues, Lin Huan and Huang Mingxin each leveled up to 46.

But a freshly minted level 46 Lin Huan is nineteen levels below the boss; in this case, his agility and speed naturally can't match the boss turned Cheetah.

Lion Hunt!

Shield Rush Charge!

Su Sheng directly activated the Lion Hunt trump card!

Huan Jie is just a leather-armor class, a squishy archer; if she gets hit by a pounce, she'll probably be insta-killed.

Besides, Huan Jie has no protective gear on her.

Su Sheng hesitated not and directly activated Lion Hunt!

Even at the moment Lion Hunt activated, the Falling Demon Body also kicked in simultaneously.

Agility surged instantly!

The value approached six thousand!

Su Sheng's whole body was almost leaving an afterimage!

Thud~

In the blink of an eye, Su Sheng intercepted right in front of Lin Huan.

Impact!

Su Sheng and the Jiangshi Cheetah slammed together, and Su Sheng seized the chance to thrust out his spear.

Lion's Claw!

Boom!

Under normal mounted charge, he is in Dominant Body, but the Dominant Body is canceled upon impact.

One shot hit!

-8733

Damage increased!

It turned into Cheetah Hunt; although agility and speed rose dramatically, defense seems to have decreased.

Roar!

At the same time, the Jiangshi Cheetah's speed was too fast, and it rammed Su Sheng.

Combat Notification: Hit by Pseudo Commander-level BOSS, Spirit Tomb Keeper. Cheetah's impact.

Damage taken: 14773

Speed boost triggered a dismount effect.

The Cheetah leapt high and struck Su Sheng directly, not Su Sheng's mount, and surprisingly triggered a dismount.

Su Sheng fell straight off his mount; under normal circumstances, with Su Sheng's skill, even in Free Mode a dismount would let him stand steady.

Unfortunately, Lin Huan was right behind Su Sheng.

After Su Sheng fell, he immediately collided with Lin Huan.

Caught off guard, Lin Huan and Su Sheng rolled together.

Su Sheng instinctively stretched out his hands to protect Lin Huan.

This sudden turn left everyone stunned.

Snap~

At this moment, Su Ba's reaction was very timely; the Prison Cage Talisman hit precisely, and it was the last Prison Cage Talisman stored in the Grand Void Seal.

The Cheetah, which had been paused, this time couldn't dodge.

As for Su Sheng, he was a bit dazed; Lin Huan was lying on top of Su Sheng, and Su Sheng's hands tightly embraced Lin Huan, the soft feeling leaving Su Sheng completely stunned.

Although it's a game, the simulation inside is almost 100% realistic.

Zhu Lu provides a protection mechanism for female players.

When non-PK actions involving opposite-sex contact occur, if the protection mechanism is enabled, female players feel nothing abnormal and won't sense male players' touch.

Meanwhile, male players' touch becomes hard as stone, not a soft body.

Of course, to accommodate couple players, this feature can also be turned off.

Obviously... the protection mechanism wasn't enabled for Su Sheng and Lin Huan...

Lin Huan, held in Su Sheng's arms, didn't struggle, just looked at Su Sheng with a normal expression...

Only...

Beep~

System Notification: Detecting player emotion overly excited...

System Notification reveals that Lin Huan isn't as calm as he appears, but only Lin Huan can hear the notification.

One second later...

Ah Sheng, it's time to fight the BOSS.

Lin Huan spoke softly.

Cough cough... Su Sheng immediately reacted, somewhat unwilling to release his hand.

Lin Huan also got up from Su Sheng, expression unchanged...

Su Sheng did a carp-style backflip, and his weapon reappeared in his hand.

Looking at the Jiangshi Cheetah trapped by the Prison Cage Talisman, Su Sheng smacked his lips; the confinement time had one second left.

Summon mount...

Fortunately, the dismount state only caused a fall, not a ban on riding.

Otherwise, without the mount's HP boost, even Su Sheng would risk being killed instantly.

At this point, the Prison Cage Talisman vanished.

Awakening Lion Charge!

Su Sheng then activated his second charge skill; under Lion Hunt, the Jiangshi Cheetah was fast but still couldn't outrun Su Sheng.

Hit!

Fang!

Taunt!

Shield Strike!

In an instant, the hatred was pulled back to Su Sheng.

Next, continue to clear the BOSS.

After turning into Cheetah, the BOSS's defense actually lowered, only speed... very fast!

But that's all...

It's just a bit troublesome...
