This Demon Lord is Clearly Super Strong, Yet Excessively Cautious

"Stone Skin!"

A dark yellow light wrapped around Leon, covering his skin with a layer of impenetrable armor.

"This should be a spell to increase defense!"

Long Xing Qian Li stared intently at Lord Demon Lord, the flames flickering in her skeletal pupils.

That was the intuition of a warrior.

If this layer of defense was added, she would have a 90% confidence in withstanding the siege, even against five Cave Spiders!

But it wasn't over yet!

The chanting of the incantation continued, and the Magic Wand in Leon's hand continued to wave.

This time, the light that gathered at the tip of the wand was cyan, transforming into a pair of transparent wings in the dark space, crashing onto his shoulders like waves surging onto a beach.

"Swift as Wind!"

In an instant, Leon felt as light as a swallow, as if he were standing on the shoulders of a griffin.

"I get this! It should be an agility buff!" Hu Wan stared intently, his skeletal eyes flashing with shrewd light, but his head was full of confusion.

What was a mage doing with an agility buff? Obviously, he wasn't the only one who couldn't figure out the Demon Lord's thoughts. The players present couldn't understand it either, but they didn't take it to heart.

After all, the dazzling auras popped up one after another, making it hard to keep up.

"Mana Amplification!"

"Bone Enhancement!"

"Ice Splash!"

"Bark Armor!"

"Thorn Shield!"

"Wind Barrier!"

"Dust Shadow!"

"Nether Armor!"

"..."

Leon chanted twelve spells in one breath, stacking all the buffs he could.

No joke, his five-dimensional attributes were awesome right now, and he even dared to fight Ige.

Why Ige?

Of course, because only he wouldn't fight back.

Although these spells were just basic operations, the little players from Earth obviously didn't know that.

This gorgeous operation left the surrounding players dumbfounded and stunned.

Bai Li swallowed and spoke his first words since entering the Maze.

"Good heavens... is our Lord Demon Lord being a bit too cautious?"

Unlike her previous carefree image, Long Xing Wan Li's face showed an expression of interest as she stroked her chin, seriously studying this Lord Demon Lord's "battle tactics."

"Interesting... maybe in this game world, experts exchange blows like this in the settings."

As the saying goes, plan before acting, and act appropriately. If you don't strike, then so be it, but when you do, it's a fatal blow! Impressive!

Truly impressive!

Qian Li made the same gesture, stroking his chin as he pondered.

"I see... so, is this actually the development team giving us a demonstration?"

Hu Wan: "Wonderful... so there's another layer of meaning."

Worthy of being a large guild.

He felt that compared to this group of guys, he was like a fake professional player.

A pair of eyes looked towards One Leaf Knows Autumn, who couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why are you all looking at me? I can't cast spells..."

Wan Li laughed heartily and said.

"I know you can't cast spells, I'm just curious what you think about this?"

"What can I think? He and I aren't even in the same league... Anyway, let's keep watching, I'm quite curious how the combat power ceiling of this world fights." One Leaf Knows Autumn said with a wry smile.

Speaking of which, the buffs have been stacked, so are we finally going to start farming monsters? However, just as One Leaf Knows Autumn thought this, he saw the Lord Demon Lord take out a small blue potion bottle from somewhere, hold it in his hand, and pour it down his throat.

There's nothing to complain about.

He consumed a lot of mana just now, so it's reasonable to replenish it.

But what stunned One Leaf Knows Autumn was that the familiar incantation floated into his ears again.

Good heavens—

Again?! Dazzling halos flashed again, this time on top of the zombie wielding a greatsword to the side.

This guy's presence was so low that he had been standing here for a while, and the players hadn't even noticed him.

Hu Wan, who was usually calm, couldn't help but vomit blood this time.

"Damn it! Is this ever going to end?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, that majestic gaze looked over here.

He quickly closed his mouth, but unfortunately, the respected Lord Demon Lord had already set his sights on him.

Just as Hu Wan was wondering what this guy was going to do, he saw the latter reach into his arms, take out a test tube with a cork, and stuff it into his hand.

"Drink it."

Drink it??? Bro, I'm a skeleton! Hu Wan looked blankly at the magic potion in his hand, pointed at himself, and saw the Lord Demon Lord nod in approval. In the end, he bit the bullet and pulled out the cork, pouring it hard into his jaw.

The viscous ointment, like jelly, slid down his spine all the way to his crotch.

As expected, there wasn't even a hint of flavor.

After all, he didn't even have an esophagus; however much he drank would just spill out.

However, even though all the magic potion he drank spilled out, the Demon Lord had a satisfied expression, as if that was the effect he wanted.

"Very good."

The Lord Demon Lord nodded approvingly, waving the Magic Wand in his hand and applying the Swift as Wind buff to his forehead.

"Go."

"Don't leave my sight, and try to attract the attention of those Cave Spiders as much as possible."

"Leave the rest to me."

As the words fell, Hu Wan watched the Lord Demon Lord reach out and gently push him.

Attract monsters? He was indeed good at that.

However, he and One Leaf Knows Autumn had already tried it; the spiders here were all full and not at all interested in a skeleton like him—

Just as Hu Wan was thinking this, a creepy feeling suddenly crawled all over his body, and then a "chee-chee-chee" sound came from the side.

He suddenly twisted around to look to the side, only to see that the Cave Spider that had previously ignored him was now staring at him with its dense, red eyes as if it had taken some kind of drug.

What's going on?!

Before he could think, the Cave Spider suddenly contracted its abdomen.

That action meant it was spitting silk!

In the previous series of battles, he had already become familiar with the habits of these Cave Spiders.

Therefore, the moment he saw that familiar pre-motion, his body moved almost instinctively, and he ducked and dodged the incoming glob of phlegm.

"So fast!" Qian Li looked at the smooth operation in surprise, her vision almost unable to keep up with his movements.

Not just her—

Including Hu Wan himself, the faces of the 5 players present showed surprised expressions.

"So light!"

Glancing at the Swift as Wind buff in the status bar, Hu Wan looked at the spiders to the side, and the fighting spirit in his heart gradually began to boil.

If it was this kind of speed—

He had one hundred percent confidence that he could kite these spiders to death! However, just as he thought this, thousands upon thousands of scarlet gazes faintly emerged from the darkness.

Those gazes were filled with desire... or rather, hunger.

Just by meeting those gazes, Hu Wan felt as if his heart had stopped.

Even though he didn't have a heart standing here.

Whoosh—! The sound of something cutting through the air brushed past him, and a bone Spear pierced the spider that had spat silk at him earlier, pinning the latter hard against the wall.

Hu Wan suddenly woke up.

At that same moment, he heard the Demon Lord's roar.

"Don't just stand there, run! Quick!"

"Holy crap—"

Faced with the surging "spider tide," Hu Wan didn't even have time to curse, and could only grit his teeth and rush forward.

The sound of rushing wind brushed past him!

Among them were both the "old phlegm" shot by the spiders and the bone spears shot by the Lord Demon Lord waving the Magic Wand.

Although at first Hu Wan was just running for his life, scurrying around the pillars, he quickly found the trick.

Just as Brother One Leaf said, these spiders have very poor close-range vision!

Keeping a distance from them would be more dangerous; it's better to wander around at a distance of 5 to 10 steps!

The Cave Spiders are not united among themselves. Accustomed to living alone, they suddenly squeezed together, and now they are eyeing the same prey, they will also fight each other.

And then there's the NPC, the Lord Demon Lord!

The bone spears shot by that lord seemed to have no pattern, but in fact, they opened a path for him.

Combining these clues, he has successfully found the optimal solution to clear the level—

That is to run to where there are more spiders! Follow the trajectory of the bone spear shots!

Run at a distance of 5 to 10 steps from the nearest spider! It can be done!!!

"Ahhh! I'm going to fight you all!!!"

Accompanied by a creaking roar, Hu Wan, who had regained his confidence, no longer retreated. The fighting spirit that had been extinguished by the plummeting SAN value was rekindled! His positioning became more and more stable!

More and more spiders gathered in the hall, like a mudslide rolling in the Maze! The players felt a chill run down their spines at the sight, and silently prayed for Hu Wan in their hearts.

Being targeted by a bug several times larger than oneself is a feeling that only those who have faced it can understand.

And if the number of these bugs is multiplied by n, even the most steadfast person would probably break down.

At the thought that if Brother Hu Wan couldn't hold on, the next one to step up would be themselves, everyone suddenly regretted taking on this task.

"This guy... is a strong one," Qian Li sincerely admired.

"Indeed, both his awareness and his skills are top-notch, and he also has the ability to adapt to the situation. This kind of talent cannot be learned," Wan Li nodded, giving a pertinent evaluation, and then sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that this brother already has a guild, so it's not convenient for me to recruit him."

Bai Li didn't speak, just stared intently at the rhythm of that guy's kiting, trying to copy this set of operations.

One Leaf Knows Autumn was the same, staring unblinkingly at his good brother's back, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

After a long time.

He suddenly spoke.

"I see..."

Hearing his soft murmur, Wan Li immediately turned to look at him, and asked with a smile.

"Did you discover something?"

One Leaf Knows Autumn nodded.

"It's pheromones."

Wan Li was taken aback.

"Phero...mones?"

"It's that stuff Hu Wan drank! And to be precise... it should be sex pheromones!"

Staring at the dark mass of the spider sea, One Leaf Knows Autumn's skeletal eyes burned with excited light.

"Satiety breeds lust... I actually didn't think of that!"

Wan Li: "...?"

Qian Li: "..."

Bai Li: "!"

On the other side, Leon, using bone spears to cover the players' movements in the spider sea, saw that the time was almost ripe, so after throwing out the last bone spear, he smoothly changed his incantation.

Seeing that the bone spear was stuck in the ground not far away, Hu Wan initially thought that Lord Demon Lord had missed, but he heard his good brother's urgent call.

"The rhythm of the spell has changed! Quickly go to the location of that bone spear!"

There was no time to hesitate.

Hu Wan did not doubt One Leaf Knows Autumn's judgment, and rushed up with a running leap.

Almost at the instant he hugged the bone spear, a storm-like roar took away his hearing.

For a moment, he felt like an attack aircraft had swept over his head.

"Falling Stone Rain!"

The whistling stone bullets poured down like raindrops, indiscriminately covering every inch of space around him! The spider webs were easily torn apart, and dark red blood splattered! Wherever the stone bullets passed, the ground was covered with spiders on their backs and fragments of mashed limbs! Even the "frontal armor" that was indestructible in the eyes of the players was like paper in the face of that overwhelming power, and was torn to pieces without hindrance!

Excited flames flickered in One Leaf Knows Autumn's pupils, and he clenched his fists uncontrollably as he looked at Lord Demon Lord's figure.

That was the power he craved! With a snap of his fingers, hundreds of Cave Spiders had turned to dust and vanished into thin air!
