The leading paladin who was slapped down the mountain by Chu Tian.
As soon as the words fell, Chu Tian, who was originally trapped within the encirclement and had nowhere to retreat, leaped up.
Everyone simultaneously had the same thought: Idiot, even if you’re in leopard form and your jump height has increased significantly, do you think you can jump over our heads?
[Skill Used: Second Jump!]
This skill was attached to Chu Tian’s shoes. It allowed him to stomp on the air mid-jump and perform another leap.
Chu Tian, in his leopard form, reached the highest point, just about at the eye level of the person in front of him. As he fell, he was still within their encirclement.
However, in the next moment, everyone saw him whoosh… and ascend again, but this time not upwards.
Instead, it was diagonally, towards their rear.
“Not good, he’s trying to escape, attack him!”
Someone shouted.
Instantaneous magic spells, arrows, and bullets flew towards Chu Tian.
The melee players, who were originally standing close to Chu Tian, were now in a ranged position after his jump.
Transformation: Bear Form.
Chu Tian transformed in mid-air, taking all the skill attacks head-on.
-1!
-1!
……
A string of forced damage notifications popped up.
[Ding… You have been attacked by player: He Su Li Shang. You may counterattack players in their team!]
“Damn it, it’s not even breaking my defense! What do we do?” The group was dumbfounded.
“What are you afraid of? Wear him down. He’s a full-defense bear tank, he has no damage!”
Another player, thinking they were knowledgeable, directed everyone to continue attacking.
Chu Tian, after landing, grinned!
“You all can die!”
Transformation: Owlkin Form!
The ranged players who were casting spells, and the melee players pushing forward, saw Chu Tian transform into an owl.
They were stunned for about a second, thinking to themselves: You’re a full-defense bear druid, why are you turning into an owl? And flapping your wings, are you trying to melt us with cuteness?
“Cyclone!”
Whoosh…
Chu Tian spread his plump owl wings and flapped them vigorously!
A gust of wind kicked up, carrying snowflakes, directly blowing the players in front of him away.
“Ah… Help!”
“Priest, quickly cast Levitate on me!”
“Ah… Mom, save me, I’m afraid of heights!”
“Stop yelling, we don’t have any priests in our party…”
The edge of the cliff instantly became spacious.
The rogue from the [Qing Cheng] guild rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
This…
A control skill with no damage blew over twenty people off the cliff to their deaths?
But it wasn’t over yet. Chu Tian transformed back into leopard form, his black body a blur of afterimages.
Now, in leopard form, his movement speed was as high as 137%. Running on the snow, he was exceptionally conspicuous.
Moreover, running downhill gave him a speed boost, like a tiger descending a mountain.
He instantly dashed to the front of the shouting paladin.
Transforming back to human form, he delivered another mighty slap.
“Ah…”
The running speed, combined with the momentum of descending the mountain, sent the paladin flying with a single slap.
“Holy crap… That really hurts!” Chu Tian said, shaking his hand and baring his teeth.
The rogue from the [Qing Cheng] guild shivered as he watched. You want to kill, just kill, why do you like slapping people in the face so much?
This kind of attack wouldn't be judged as a priority attack by the system, but it still caused pain!
Furthermore, it was extremely humiliating.
Also, you’re complaining about pain? What about the paladin you just slapped away? How much must he be hurting?
“Uh… brother rogue, I’ll be going now!” Chu Tian said, turning back and grinning at him.
“Oh… um…”
He hadn’t even recovered until Chu Tian disappeared from his sight!
After a long while, another rogue appeared beside him.
“Captain, don’t you think this druid looks a bit like someone?” The one who appeared later looked in the direction Chu Tian had disappeared, with a hesitant expression, unsure.
His face froze for a moment, then he exclaimed in utter astonishment, “Could it be him?”
“It should be the ‘Druid God’ who has been active in the Shengjing City area, the guild leader of the Ni Shen Meng!”
The second rogue nodded.
At this moment, Chu Tian, who was in stealth, passed right behind them. He paused, glancing at the two of them in surprise.
He thought to himself: They actually recognized me!
Then, a wry smile appeared. It seemed being too conspicuous was the problem.
This was because he heard the rogue mention that yesterday, on the official website, they had seen a video of him declaring his intention to reform the Ni Shen Meng guild system at the entrance of a dungeon.
Without paying them any further mind, Chu Tian quickly ran towards the snowy mountain.
Soon, a group of people came towards him. They all wore the [Cang Ya] guild emblem, likely related to what had just happened.
Another group of people were coming to cause trouble for him.
They couldn't detect Chu Tian’s stealth, these players in their late twenties.
Chu Tian let them pass on their intended path and continued along the cliff edge.
After passing several checkpoints guarded by different guilds, Chu Tian finally reached the level 45 area.
Here, he witnessed a Boss battle involving tens of thousands of players, his first since his rebirth.
It turned out they were fighting the Snow Ape King. He had initially thought their secret location had been discovered.
Snow Ape King, level 45, Commander-tier Boss monster.
It respawned every seven days after being killed.
As for its drops, they were only average.
When he came up earlier, he had noticed at least seven or eight level 4 guilds stationed there.
Why were they going to such lengths just to kill such an ordinary Boss?
Did they think that a higher-level monster would drop better items?
It shouldn’t be the case!
No matter how good the items were, mobilizing so many guilds to jointly kill a wild Boss while being under-leveled would not result in a proportional gain after accounting for attrition!
Unless the guild leaders were all as brainless as Sha Lu De Tian Ya Kuang Dao.
Their actions piqued Chu Tian’s curiosity. Was there really something good that he didn't know about?
It shouldn't be. In his previous life, this monster had been farmed to death.
It was almost always killed as soon as it respawned, and no special items were ever heard to drop from it.
At this moment, the Snow Ape King’s health was already below 30%.
Chu Tian decided to wait until they killed the Snow Ape King and then try to slip in and get something.
He hid at a distance of fifty meters from the battle and observed.
Finally, he confirmed that these people were also fighting the Snow Ape King for the first time. Otherwise, they would have ordered the melee players to retreat by now.
When the Snow Ape King’s health dropped below 5%, it would enter an enraged state.
After enraging, its Thunder Stomp skill would trigger every three seconds.
This skill was a nightmare for melee players.
Thunder Stomp: Stuns for 3.5 seconds. And since it was cast every three seconds, melee players would be almost infinitely stunned.
Moreover, with such frequent area-of-effect damage, it was not something that healers could keep up with by healing.
At this point, several tanks were needed to stand at the furthest distance and use taunt skills. The Snow Ape King would move back and forth, chasing the tanks, while the ranged professions unleashed their full firepower to finish off the remaining health.
Roar… Roar…
The Snow Ape King pounded its chest with its fists, letting out a roar.
Its body instantly expanded by a large circumference, and its snow-white fur turned blood red.
Bang… It stomped its feet on the ground.
The Thunder Stomp skill covered a massive area.
All melee players, including some ranged players who were standing a bit too close, were stunned.
Even the tanks!
With the tanks stunned, without any parry, block, or damage reduction, the Snow Ape King swatted away seven or eight shield warriors in front of it with a single palm.
The shield warriors, without any damage reduction, were as brittle as paper. The moment they landed, they were instantly killed.
With the tanks dead, its aggro became completely chaotic.
It began chasing other players indiscriminately.
Furthermore, it cast Thunder Stomp every few steps.
Players who misjudged the distance were stunned in groups.
Although players were constantly being eliminated, they still had a large number.
With each wave of attacks, tens of thousands of its health were depleted.
As its health gradually decreased, Chu Tian began to move closer to it.
Just as it was about to fall, Chu Tian, who was in stealth, assumed the stance of a leopard pouncing.
