131 I Just Need To Run Faster Than You (2/2)
As it roared, the Squall Beast suddenly bolted up and sent Wang Yu flying backwards with just the wind pressure. Immediately after that, the Squall Beast bent its four limbs and pounced forward. Wang Yu wasn't able to react in time to this attack and ended up being struck and sent flying again.
In mid-air, Wang Yu hurriedly used [Thunder God's Stomp] and landed back on the ground feeling happy but surprised.
Surprised because the Squall Beast was much faster than its size would have suggested.
Happy because its damage was also very low! Even though Wang Yu had taken a hit from it previously, he had lost less than 30% of his total health! It was much weaker than any other level 30 boss!
While Wang yu was still celebrating, the Squall Beast had charged towards Wang Yu again. This time, Wang yu turned and ran away without any hesitation.
This path was really much too narrow. For Wang Yu who relied on evasion and counterattacks, continuing to fight in a place like this was simply suicide!
Back in the valley, when Defiant Tiger heard the Squall Beast's roar, he happily laughed: ”I wish you all the best on your journey then brother! I helped you get back to the city and you helped me complete my quest! We're even now...”
The entire situation had all been part of Defiant Tiger's plan to complete his quest!
Defiant Tiger's quest was to enter the valley and kill the Squall Beast!
At this point in the game, most players were around level 15. Having unlocked the dungeons and cleared them, most were already equipped with bronze tier gear. With the proper set up and teamwork a level 30 Silver grade boss like the Squall Beast wouldn't even be a problem.
However, the Squall Beast was a very cowardly creature and was always hiding inside the Squall Vortex. Without a special quest item to guide them, players could only end up hopelessly lost. Thus, Defiant Tiger wasn't able to find anyone to help him.
In all honesty, his quest wasn't even that hard. As long as he could lure the Squall Beast into a trap then the quest was already half done. However, the Squall Beast was much too fast for a slow Knight like him to handle. At this point, Defiant Tiger had already been killed by the Squall Beast twice…
This time, Defiant Tiger chanced upon Wang Yu who had been accidentally teleported…
The moment he saw Wang Yu, Defiant Tiger knew that he wasn't from this district. There wasn't a single player in Hurricane City that didn't know of Squall Valley. Thus, Defiant Tiger had formulated a plan to take advantage of Wang yu as bait to complete his quest.
He would send Wang Yu in first to get the attention of the Squall Beast while he set up the trap!
If Defiant Tiger as a Knight couldn't tank the boss then a piece of trash Pugilist like Wang Yu definitely wouldn't be able to either! Wang Yu surviving wasn't even a possibility that Defiant Tiger had considered.
Wang Yu's death couldn't have had much impact on Defiant Tiger's plan anyway. The boss' aggro was towards the party. Since they were a party, after Wang Yu died then the aggro would naturally shift over to Defiant Tiger. With that, Defiant Tiger would have been able to lure the Squall Beast into a trap without him even needing to lift a finger!
However, the scene in front of him left Defiant Tiger tongue-tied…
Wang Yu who was supposed to have already died at the hands of the Squall Beast was currently running towards him with the Squall Beast in hot pursuit.
After recovering from his shock, Defiant Tiger shouted: ”A boss? Quickly, run towards your six o'clock!”
Laughing to himself, Wang Yu ignored Defiant Tiger's words and ran right past Defiant Tiger.
Wang Yu wasn't an idiot either. The moment he saw the Squall Beast, he immediately knew that Defiant Tiger had tried to take advantage of him. The entire Quan Zhen Sect made a living by tricking and using people so how could he be so foolish as to fall for a simple trick like this one?
Although Wang Yu was fast, the Squall Beast was even faster than him. The two of them soon reached Defiant Tiger's location.
”F**k me!”
Seeing that Wang Yu didn't fall for his tricks, Defiant Tiger immediately turned around and tried to escape as well while shouting: ”Brother why are you doing this? The valley is so large! Do you think you can outrun it?”
Wang Yu's figure suddenly flashed as he used [Sunset Shift] and reappeared in front of Defiant Tiger and chuckled: ”I just need to run faster than you!”
”F**k your...” Before Defiant Tiger even had to chance to curse Wang Yu, the Squall Beast caught up to him and stepped on him. It then stomped a few more times and turned him into a ray of light.
