#275 · 275 of 2210

“It’s too dangerous outside; I shouldn’t have come out if I’d known!”

In fact.

By now, many people in Great Xia have become extremely cautious after several incidents.

Although they were spreading this news, not many believed it; the vast majority were in a state of doubt and observation.

"Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we'll know once the BOSS is dead!"

"That's right, let the bullets fly for a while; don't take sides just yet."

"Haven't there been enough reversals regarding Shadow? It's all just the foreign media smearing him!"

"Exactly, those who took sides and bashed Shadow earlier now have grass growing three feet high on their graves!"

"And I got word that Shadow warned everyone not to provoke that BOSS long ago. Those people being turned into skeletons was entirely due to their own greed; what does it have to do with Shadow?"

"LMAO, anyone with a brain knows which is more believable: what the BOSS says or what Shadow says."

Most people were quite clear-headed.

But in the end, a small portion of people were still swayed by the narrative.

"Know once the BOSS is dead? By then, it'll be too late to regret!"

"That's right, once the BOSS dies, those two thousand-plus people will never come back…"

"I knew it, the internet is already full of Shadow's shills. How can they even defend such a psychopathic act?"

"My son was transformed. I hope everyone can persuade Shadow to stop killing that BOSS and let the BOSS change my son back…"

Especially that female player riding the gray eagle who was spreading the news; seeing the discussions on the forum, she became even more exasperated.

She couldn't understand why, even after Shadow had done such a thing, there were still so many people siding with him and whitewashing his actions.

…

Qin Feng didn't know what was happening at this moment.

In fact, even if he did, he wouldn't have any emotional reaction.

He knew very well that some people were just like that.

No matter what those around them say, they always maintain a skeptical attitude, believing neither this nor that; but once an outsider says something, they immediately believe it without doubt, even treating it as gospel…

You can't even say these people have no brains anymore.

You can only say they are simply… shameless!

While Qin Feng continued to chase and hack at the Great Calamity Underworld King, Osirio was a bit bored and was flying around aimlessly in the sky.

He happened to see that female player riding the eagle.

"Human Assassin, there's a woman peeping up here in the sky. She looks like a little fairy; should I catch her to be your wife?"

Osirio's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing the female player, and he began communicating with Qin Feng.

"Catch your sister… Aren't you face-blind? How do you know what she looks like?"

Qin Feng was speechless.

"Why be so picky? Aren't women all just two eyes and a mouth? I remembered her codename; it's something like 'Peach Rabbit Eating Hotpot Today'!"

Osirio maintained his stealth state and streaked across the sky, chuckling: "She's been watching for so long, she must be captivated by your heroic bearing. I'll go chat with her later; this will definitely work out!"

"Stop the BS. Any more nonsense and I'll put you away."

Heroic bearing?

Qin Feng couldn't be bothered with that stupid dragon. He was invisible the whole time; how could anyone see a thing?

Under his pursuit, Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals's health continued to drop.

In this final third phase, it was supposed to be the Epic BOSS's strongest moment, but unfortunately, this guy's three strongest skills had all been sealed by Qin Feng!

The only skill that could pose a threat to Qin Feng was one.

That was the 'Black Spherical Ripple' skill unlocked in the second phase.

Originally, this skill was only released once during the transition from the first to the second phase.

But in the third phase, it became a permanent skill.

It could be released as soon as the cooldown was over.

Fortunately, before releasing it, the BOSS needed to lift its chin… Seeing the BOSS lift its chin, Qin Feng would instantly retreat, giving the opponent no chance.

So…

This gave the BOSS a brand new idea.

It discovered that as long as it lifted its chin, it would no longer take damage. Clearly, that Human Assassin had retreated to a distance to dodge the skill!

"In that case…"

The BOSS started playing with feints.

Whenever it was attacked, it would lift its chin.

And Qin Feng couldn't be sure if the cooldown was actually over. To be safe, he could only retreat…

After several times, Qin Feng realized he was being played by the BOSS.

But there was no way around it!

Who knew if that guy lifting its chin was really going to use a skill or just a feint?

Qin Feng didn't know the exact cooldown time of that skill!

So the scene looked a bit ridiculous.

A twenty-meter-tall giant skeleton BOSS would lift its chin from time to time, as if it were saying 'aba aba', its upper and lower jaws opening and closing—it was quite hilarious.

Strangely enough, every time it made this movement, its health bar would stop dropping. It was quite magical!

"Heh, idiot, were you scared by me?"

Great Calamity Underworld King · Hals smiled coldly, holding his giant bone sword, and quickly fled in the direction he had come from.

This Human Assassin was too terrifying; it really couldn't beat him!

As long as it returned to the 'Great Calamity Sea Area', it could find a way to recover health…

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come out…"

"It's too dangerous outside."

Hals wanted to cry but had no tears. It never expected that this operation, which should have been unstoppable, would end in failure halfway through!

However, soon…

Its 'aba aba' technique lost its effect on Qin Feng.

Because through careful observation, Qin Feng discovered there was still a subtle difference between when this guy was actually releasing the skill and when it was a feint.

You see, the movement for actually releasing a skill is dictated by the system.

In other words, this guy's feints lacked completion, allowing Qin Feng to catch the flaw!

So…

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Shadow Blades flew in as if from all directions.

The Great Calamity Underworld King discovered in horror that its feints could no longer scare the assassin away. Yet, whenever it actually released the skill, the assassin would run away again!!

"Buddy, you're about to die."

When the BOSS's health was down to the last fifth, less than ninety million, Qin Feng suddenly spoke: "Look at your health bar… PEW! Another chunk gone."

"Get lost!"

The Great Calamity Underworld King cried out.

"I can't really get lost, but it's possible I might let you go."

Qin Feng suddenly saying this made the opponent a bit surprised.

The Great Calamity Underworld King immediately became alert: "Let me go? On what condition?"

Qin Feng said, "Give me that snake tooth hanging from your waist, and I can choose not to kill you."

Indeed.

Qin Feng had his eyes on the opponent's 'old days catastrophe snake tooth'!

If it weren't for the fact that Thieving Saint Talismans can only be used on players, Qin Feng would have used a few on this guy—if a few weren't enough, then dozens…

Unfortunately, the Thieving Saint Talismans couldn't be used.

So he could only try to trick it.

Although the hope was slim, he had to try, right?

"Heh, do you think I'm stupid? If I give it to you, how can you guarantee you won't kill me?"

Sure enough, this Epic BOSS didn't believe Qin Feng's words at all; its brain was a bit more functional than some creatures.

"Then there's no other way…"

Qin Feng felt it was a bit of a pity.

In the third phase, the BOSS's fleeing speed was even faster, making it impossible for Qin Feng to use Killing Shadow combined with Graceful Liberation to insta-kill it.

But as long as he kept pursuing, the Shadow Blades could slowly grind the opponent to death.

Right then…

Perhaps Qin Feng's words gave the BOSS some inspiration.

The BOSS suddenly shouted, reached out with its skeletal palm, and took off the 'old days catastrophe snake tooth' from its waist!

"Didn't you want this thing?"

"Take it!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the skeleton grabbed the snake tooth and threw it hard toward the distant horizon!

The old days catastrophe snake tooth, which was about the size of a human head, was thrown into the sky and flew toward a location dozens of kilometers away at extreme speed!
