Chapter 628: Lion King Stance

Su Sheng dodged.

A fireball exploded on the ground, spreading a swath of Hell Fire.

Su Sheng was scorched again.

But fortunately, the mythic lion's Fireworks Blessing was still active.

Another 4000.

Looks like fixed damage.

However, the trajectory of another fireball was higher, whistling past, flying toward the distance, and finally exploding in front of a few nearby Greedy Wolf players.

About seven or eight Greedy Wolf heavy-armor classes…

Boom!

A flash of white light!

In an instant!

This Hell Fire fireball instantly vaporized all the Greedy Wolf players within its range.

"Whoa, everyone scatter quickly!"

Seeing this, Lang Xing Tianxia hurriedly issued orders.

In fact, he didn't need to say more; the Greedy Wolf players had already been frantically running toward the distance.

Su Sheng, being conscientious, didn't run toward the main body of Greedy Wolf players.

Otherwise, Su Sheng could have taken the Hell Three-Headed Dog over there and definitely killed many.

One hundred seconds!

Su Sheng silently counted the time.

He only needs to endure for one hundred seconds!

Swish~

One after another, several fireballs flew toward him.

Awooo!

One bite!

Su Sheng quickly crouched.

Click!

Miss!

But immediately after,

Poof~

A dog paw, as Su Sheng was crouching to dodge, slapped directly onto his body.

Growl~

-8331

At the same time, the Hell Fire, whose duration had already elapsed and was about half gone, refreshed its duration again.

My password~

Su Sheng glanced and saw that most of the Fireworks Blessing Shield was gone.

Danger!

Although he used a Blood Bottle, the cooldown for the next one hasn't finished yet.

Let the Greedy Wolf's Priest add a buff?

Anyway, the quest is already completed.

He lifted his head…

Alright.

All the Greedy Wolf players around were frantically running away.

After all, losing a level for no reason now isn't worth it.

Step back!

He retreated directly behind the Hell Three-Headed Dog, turned, and fled again.

But…

From what just happened, the Hell Three-Headed Dog's speed is faster than his.

And it's considerably faster; it caught up in just a moment.

As for Lion Hunt, it's still on cooldown, and Su Sheng feels helpless.

If he had Lion Hunt active now, he could easily "walk the dog" for one hundred seconds.

Smoke Swirl!

Su Sheng can only command the mythic lion to use its skill.

White smoke coiled around the Hell Three-Headed Dog.

But the Hell Three-Headed Dog's body kept burning with Hell Fire.

The white smoke wrapped around it, and in only about 0.8 seconds it was burned away by Hell Fire.

The Hell Three-Headed Dog also regained its action.

The original five-second Control Skill only caused the Hell Three-Headed Dog's movement to pause briefly.

That's downright excessive!

But it's okay.

Seizing the chance, Su Sheng mounted directly!

Fortunately, the speed boost from the Mounted State raised Su Sheng's speed a notch.

Then, after comparing both sides' speeds, Su Sheng let out a sigh of relief.

His speed in the Mounted State was a little higher than the Hell Three-Headed Dog's.

Flames~

At that moment, the Hell Three-Headed Dog spat another Fireball.

Although the Mounted State reduces agility.

Nevertheless, the distance still allowed an easy dodge.

And the gap between them gradually widened.

…

In the distance, Lang Xing Tianxia and the others, who had already run far away, watched the scene here with lingering dread on their faces.

"What the heck, this BOSS has a hidden phase; how come we've fought it so many times and never triggered it?" Lang Xing Tianxia complained.

"Probably because we're too weak…" Duan Wei Lang said, opening his mouth.

"Stop spouting obvious truths," Lang Xing Tianxia felt a pang of hurt.

He also knew he was weak; lies don't hurt, but the truth is often a sharp blade.

"We just don't know the trigger condition; this BOSS looks formidable."

Lang Xing Tianxia mused, unaware that this BOSS would not respawn.

"Mo Wen and Qian Chen are being chased away; can the Hell Three-Headed Dog not be fierce?" Duan Wei Lang added another jab.

Lang Xing Tianxia silently glanced at Duan Wei Lang: "Don't speak."

"Oh…"

Duan Wei Lang raised his hand to cover his mouth.

…

…

Thirty seconds passed.

Su Sheng watched the Hell Three-Headed Dog recede and let out a sigh of relief.

At this rate, a 100‑second walk would finish it off.

Now it still needs another sixty‑to‑seventy seconds!

Come on!

Su Sheng silently rallied himself.

The loot hasn't dropped yet.

Since this BOSS is a fixed outdoor boss and has already been beaten three or four times, Su Sheng had little hope for its loot drop.

It was merely an extra for completing the skill trial quest.

But now it's different; since the loot hasn't dropped, it's likely being settled based on the boss's current state.

After all, this is the boss's final encore, so it should be generous one way or another.

Su Sheng ran while daydreaming about the loot.

He didn't expect a Divine Artifact.

A Commander-level BOSS, having at least one legendary gear wouldn't be unreasonable.

Although your weapon is a Divine Artifact and you have a few epic pieces, you truly lack any legendary gear.

At worst, a guaranteed epic for yourself wouldn't be a loss.

Just hold out for these hundred seconds… no, the final sixty seconds, a minute.

The imagined time just now slipped another ten seconds.

Woof!

Whoosh!

At that moment, a sound of slicing through the air came from behind.

Su Sheng startled, instantly regained his senses!

Code!

What the heck!

Su Sheng hurriedly turned around and raised his Shield!

But it was already too late!

Clack!

Su Sheng only felt a piercing pain!

-16088!

A bite, sixteen thousand!

This time, there was no Shield Block; it bit Su Sheng solidly.

And, to make matters worse.

Meanwhile, the Fireworks Blessing of the Suanni was still cooling down.

Su Sheng's HP, without a Priest, only recovered to under ten thousand.

Consequently, the Hell Three-Headed Dog's bite emptied Su Sheng's HP outright.

What puzzled Su Sheng even more was that the distance had just been far enough—how did it catch up in less than ten seconds?!

Pseudo Nirvana Trigger!

Huh?

Not right?

Su Sheng froze, why isn't he recovering HP?

Pseudo Nirvana Invincibility Three Seconds, it recovers 50% HP?

He glanced at his status...

It's not Pseudo Nirvana!

What the hell?

Combat State!

Lion King Stance!

「？！」

Lion King Stance?!

Su Sheng's heart jumped violently.

He hurriedly checked his skills.

At a glance, Su Sheng showed an expression of ecstasy.

As expected!

A level 55 skill!
