Su Yu led the Howling Moon Wolf King towards the cliff.

However, luring a boss wasn't as simple as "cast a spell and run." Luring a boss with a degree of intelligence was a highly skilled endeavor.

When Su Yu had entered the Howling Moon Wolf King's aggro range earlier, he noticed the Wolf King hadn't attacked him. Instead, it had displayed a hint of an anthropomorphic "confused" expression.

From this expression, Su Yu judged that the Wolf King's intelligence was not low.

Bosses with intelligence like this, once they felt there was no hope of catching their enemy, or when their own health was too low and the enemy could defeat them, would leave without hesitation.

Therefore, as Su Yu led the Wolf King towards the cliff, he had to put on a convincing performance.

He needed to make the Wolf King feel deeply insulted, giving it the motivation to chase him.

At the same time, he had to create the illusion for the Wolf King that it was "just a little bit more, just a tiny bit more, and it could kill this detestable human," so that the Wolf King would pursue him relentlessly.

This was entirely a test of courage and acting.

Thus, a thrilling chase drama unfolded in Wolf King Valley!

Su Yu's acting was superb.

The Wolf King's massive claws grazed his body more than ten times. On one occasion, they even tore through the leather armor on his chest.

But Su Yu always survived "barely" and "fortunately."

The Howling Moon Wolf King was utterly enraged.

This despicable human in front of it was as slippery as an eel.

It had had multiple opportunities to tear this human to shreds, but this human was too lucky, always dodging its attacks.

Furthermore, with its health still at a healthy 85%, the Wolf King no longer considered anything else. It focused solely on chasing Su Yu, doing its utmost to kill this human.

As for the normal Howling Moon Wolf mobs along the way, they couldn't keep up with the speed of these two and were easily left behind.

The man and wolf chased each other, climbing the slope behind the cliff, getting closer and closer to the cliff's edge.

On the surface, Su Yu appeared panicked, his face filled with despair as if he were about to break down. He even stumbled as he ran.

But in reality, he was as steady as a rock.

He precisely dodged the Wolf King's attacks every time, even managing to cast a few spells and use scrolls in between.

Gradually, the Wolf King's health dropped below 60%.

Being intelligent, it had already sensed something was wrong.

How was it that as they ran, its injuries were gradually worsening, yet this human in front of it remained unkillable?

Moreover, this human was leading it towards the mountaintop (it didn't know there was a cliff ahead). Every wolf knew that the mountaintop offered little space for evasion, and climbing uphill consumed stamina, which was disadvantageous for escape. Why would this human make such a basic mistake?

The Howling Moon Wolf King stopped its pursuit of Su Yu and slowly came to a halt.

It lowered its head, panting heavily, partly to recover its stamina and partly to consider whether to retreat.

It had received a summons from the Wolf God; it still had to go and destroy the human Novice Village in half an hour!

But at that very moment.

Su Yu collapsed onto the ground like a camel that had been crushed by the last straw, his eyes tightly shut as if he had fainted.

However, Su Yu was now only six or seven meters away from the cliff.

The Wolf King rejoiced. This detestable human had finally given out!

It immediately activated its Pounce skill and lunged towards the fallen Su Yu at maximum speed.

This time, it would surely kill this human, right?!

But the moment the Wolf King initiated its Pounce, Su Yu's eyes snapped open.

He even revealed a relieved smile, reminiscent of Jiang Taigong.

The bait had taken the hook!

Su Yu cast Blink towards the cliff.

With a flash of white light, his figure appeared in the air, more than ten meters beyond the cliff.

The Howling Moon Wolf King, unable to control its body during the Pounce, lunged towards the position where Su Yu had blinked to. Its massive body leaped off the cliff.

Hahahaha!

Awooooo—

Accompanied by Su Yu's laughter and the Wolf King's heart-wrenching howl, the man and wolf plummeted from the sky.

Su Yu's action was actually exploiting the game's rule mechanics.

Pounce and Charge were similar types of skills.

When a Warrior used Charge on a Mage, if the Mage cast Blink during the first half of the Charge, the Warrior would dash to the Mage's new location.

If the Mage cast Blink during the latter half of the Warrior's Charge, the Warrior would dash to the Mage's original position.

This ruling was primarily implemented to weaken Mage players.

If a Mage player panicked and used Blink upon seeing a Warrior player use Charge, they would still be hit by the Charge.

Only by precisely timing Blink to the latter half of a Warrior's Charge could a Mage create distance.

But now, Su Yu had perfectly exploited this game mechanic. The moment the Wolf King used its Pounce, he activated Blink, successfully luring the Wolf King off the cliff.

This could be described as a seasoned veteran completely crushing a newbie (the Wolf King)!

Of course, Su Yu couldn't just stand around after using Blink.

Because the Wolf King's Pounce had brought it very close to him, if the Wolf King had just swiped its claws before dying, it could have instantly killed him!

He was, of course, well aware of this.

So, as the Wolf King closed in, Su Yu first tore open a Summon Rock Elemental scroll, placing the sturdy Rock Elemental between himself and the Wolf King to prevent the Wolf King from attacking him directly.

Then, he cast Ice Nova.

He hadn't used Ice Nova while the Wolf King was chasing him earlier because the control effect of strong control skills on monsters diminishes with repeated use.

He had been holding onto Ice Nova until now, and it had finally proven useful!

A massive ice ring exploded outwards from Su Yu, freezing the Wolf King and the Rock Elemental together.

The Wolf King glared at Su Yu, who was within arm's reach, but it was immobilized by the ice ring and couldn't raise its claws.

After freezing the Wolf King, Su Yu quickly took out an extra-large leather bag from his inventory. He unfurled it against the rushing updraft, with the opening facing downwards.

The updraft instantly filled the leather bag, and Su Yu felt as if he had gained a Goblin Glider Pack, significantly slowing his descent.

The Wolf King, having no means of slowing itself down, could only fall towards the forest below, pulled by gravity along with the Rock Elemental.

"Awoooo—"

The Wolf King's mournful howl echoed through the valley once more.

The Wolf Cubs in the valley seemed to sense the impending doom of their boss and began to howl in response.

The cliff was approximately 500 meters high.

It would take the Wolf King about 10 seconds to fall from the top.

Its Pounce had a cooldown of 15 seconds, meaning it wouldn't be able to Pounce on any nearby creatures to escape when it was about to land.

The fall damage was extremely high, and the Wolf King's defense was too low. Falling from a height of 500 meters, even at full health, would be certain death!

Thus.

The Wolf King's body met the ground with a solid thud, its health bar instantly dropping to zero.

Bang!

A sky full of blue and green items exploded from its body and flew upwards, creating a beautiful "equipment rain."

A hint of golden light was mixed in, making it particularly eye-catching!
