Chapter 848: Escaping Danger!

I'm really unlucky too!

Su Sheng watched the smart boss beside him, feeling extremely vexed.

Chen Guan took people through the Demon Realm and didn't run into this; then the gentlemanly rogue brothers also made it through the Demon Realm safely.

Besides that, on the forum tieba you can still see some bored folks who have even made it through the Demon Realm to reach the A San Server.

Even some game grandmasters who specialize in live streaming have treated crossing the Demon Realm as a challenge, so quite a few have successfully made it through.

Why, as soon as I came in, did I get stuck with a named smart boss that's an 85‑level lord?

(Su Sheng: Author, even if you want revenge on me, this is too harsh.)

I should have a chance to get away, right?

Su Sheng moved while calculating his skills.

The black giant wolf boss beside him followed closely step by step.

In the blink of an eye, thirty seconds passed.

But this boss still followed beside Su Sheng's spirit form; only now its obviously lively eyes showed doubt.

In its understanding, shouldn't this thing have changed back by now? It's been so long.

Demon spirit, demon spirit... as the name suggests, this is a demon race spirit state, so outwardly Su Sheng now looks like a demon race unit.

So the demon wolf ahead, though a smart boss, is ultimately just AI, not a real person.

According to its logic, following this long, it still maintains the spirit state, making me wonder if this isn't actually my demon race unit.

But just now, it was clearly a human.

Unconsciously, this huge black wolf boss stretched its head toward Su Sheng's face and lightly sniffed.

A strong demon race aura—definitely demon race.

At this moment, Su Sheng involuntarily halted his movement.

Looking at the boss's demeanor, it seems doubtful of my actions; given that, with over twenty seconds of spirit state left, it'd be best if the boss gave up the chase.

So I can't just pass through this demon wolf boss in spirit form; after testing on the Shenhua Guild members, even moving through in spirit state counts as an attack.

Obviously, attacking the black wolf boss now would not be wise.

After sniffing for a full three or four seconds, the black wolf boss finally withdrew.

Su Sheng then cautiously moved forward...

Meanwhile, the demon wolf boss didn't follow this time; instead it stood where it was, suspiciously watching Su Sheng's spirit form recede.

Su Sheng let out a sigh of relief.

Good thing—although it's a smart boss, my current state probably matches a demon race unit just enough to glitch its logic, so it didn't keep chasing.

Although I still have the Lion King Stance as a lifesaver, plus my Lion Hunt skill, I should be able to shake off this boss, but there's still some uncertainty.

If I could just get rid of this boss directly, that would be best.

But just as Su Sheng let out a sigh of relief, his heart tightened... No way!

All I saw was the black wolf boss that had been stopped in place, its eyes still flickering with suspicion, beginning to keep a distance and start following...

At this point, its logic was quite puzzled.

This guy, clearly a human before, how did he become a demon race unit after I hit him once?

However, he seems to have become a demon race unit after being hit by my demon energy strike.

At first he thought it was just a cunning human disguise, since in his memory all humans are very cunning.

But after confirmation, this is truly a demon race unit… he doesn't think any human could fool his sense of smell.

Could it be…

Do I have some special ability again?

Just a demon energy blast that blew that human to pieces, sending his soul out as a demon spirit?

Does this mean it happened due to a special environment in the Demon Realm, a fluke?

By now it no longer doubts that the demon spirit before it is fake… it's merely curious about its origin.

Su Sheng kept moving at a steady pace, noticing the boss merely kept a certain distance behind, and his heart eased a little.

Time, fifty seconds have passed.

Finally, just ten seconds of duration left.

Su Sheng watched the black wolf boss's state, seeing that although it still followed, its eyes basically showed no vigilance anymore.

I'd guess it now fully believes I'm a demon race unit.

But Su Sheng didn't completely relax his vigilance, because at this moment he was only about twenty yards from the boss's position.

Su Sheng still remembered that just earlier, being within seventy‑to‑eighty yards of the boss got him instantly killed by its breath.

So I must, at the moment the spirit state ends, quickly leave!

The Lion's Smoke Swirl reaches thirty yards, so I can…

Originally it was only twenty‑five yards, but after reaching adulthood the casting range extends to thirty yards.

Unconsciously, Su Sheng quickened his pace...

Gradually, the distance between me and the black wolf boss began to increase bit by bit.

Meanwhile…

The spirit state also entered a countdown.

Swish!

Resume human form!

In almost less than 0.3 seconds, Su Sheng directly summoned the lion-like beast, then mounted it.

Su Sheng also realized that he had previously worried the lion-like beast was a bit too much…

In the mounted state, when not fighting alone, the lion-like beast's life or death… is tied to Su Sheng's status as this 'rider'.

Triggering the survival skill naturally means it's not counted as death… the lion-like beast also isn't counted as dead.

It can still be directly summoned!

Fireworks Blessing!

Smoke Swirl!

Incense Fire Auspicious Beast!

Three skills were released almost simultaneously!

After all, Su Sheng only had one drop of health left; a graze would kill him!

So, first put on the Fireworks Blessing Shield to guard against any accidents, at least to temporarily preserve life, then combine with the Incense Fire Auspicious Beast to restore health.

After all, besides that BOSS, there were also other Demon Race units wandering around… but Su Sheng happened to notice a situation.

Under the Demon Spirit State, it seems it won't actively draw the hatred of those Demon Race units…

Never mind, let's run first and talk later!

Flap Wings! Activate!

Su Sheng directly mounted the lion-like beast, soared!

Seeing the Demon Spirit ahead, he suddenly turned back into a human.

That roaring BOSS was completely dazed.

Then, before he could react, he found himself entwined by a strand of black-and-white mist.

Although it was only about 0.8 seconds, he managed to break free…

But at the same time…

That person ahead…

He had already soared up, turning into a black dot that flew away.

Howl!!

Angry!

Sure enough, it's a cunning person!

He actually disguised himself as our great Demon Race! He actually disguised himself so perfectly flawless!

Of course…

It won't admit that this human tricked its nose!

A strand of black demon energy shot up into the sky…

But still… couldn't reach that black shadow in the sky…
