Chapter 460 - Falling
TL: Lifeisajourney
“Lord Liu is okay! He is still alive! He's trying to escape! The creature is in pursuit!” Saffron Ma continued with the updates to his comrades.
“Lord Liu is unbelievable! He was able to escape alive even in that situation!” The players sighed in relief. They couldn't relax yet, the battle was still ongoing. One mistake and Lord Liu would die there!
Liu Gan was in a dangerous situation, if he hadn't planned out the possible escape routes then he would've died. The routes that he chosen had trees with plentiful leaves that would provide cover from his pursuer. Even with all this planning, Liu Gan still suffered several claw attacks to his back.
Every chance he could, Liu Gan would turn back around and use Enhanced Crescent Blade. Since his target was gigantic, it was hard to miss. No visible damage was done to the creature's body since its Black Fog shield was still active. Instead, sparks were produced when the attack connected with the shield.
Counter-attacking, the King Crocodile swung its claw, and Liu Gan was sent flying like a golf ball. This attack shaved off another quarter of durability from his Mist Armor. Less than half now remained.
Only two or three more attacks and his Mist Armor would be destroyed. Even if Liu Gan's fist and legs were indestructible, his body was still flesh. Once the Mist Armor was gone, he would be at his most vulnerable state.
Still, Liu Gan had no other choice, he could only continue running. The moment he stood up, he had to reconfirm his direction and keep running. His tactic? Leave the King Crocodile’s territory.
Prior to battle, Liu Gan investigated the vicinity thoroughly. He knew which directions would lead him out of the territory. So Liu Gan had a rough idea of which way he was going, it was unlikely that he would get lost in the forest.
Like a cat and mouse, the King Crocodile kept chasing after Liu Gan with claws outstretched. The majority of its attacks were blocked by the trees. Only two attacks got through and landed on Liu Gan’s back, grinding down his Mist armor. It could block only one more attack before it was destroyed.
Liu Gan’s Mist Armor was at least ten times thicker than players of the same level due to it being his passive skill. After every level up, his Mist Armor would increase in durability. Otherwise, he would have been reduced to a meat patty by now.
Even as the fight dragged on, the other players couldn’t provide any support. The moment they got involved, they couldn’t even keep up with the pace.
As he kept running, Liu Gan noticed that the ground up ahead was more stone than dirt. He had left the forest! Up ahead he could smell the distinct smell of salt water. He squinted his eyes to see that it was the sea! With the King Crocodile in hot pursuit, Liu Gan had no other choice. He dashed forward without hesitation.
He ran all the way to the end of the road, it was a precipice waiting for him. A steep drop of a hundred meters! Down below was a beach that was only several meters wide, with reefs along the shoreline.
