**Chapter 170: Get Down There!**
One in front, one behind, and they were hot on each other’s tails!
“Very nice! Although there were a few surprises, the situation is still developing in the direction the Wind God anticipated.”
“The BOSS is a bit like a mouse caught in a trap; it can only rage in frustration. At this rate, they’ll be at the cliff’s edge in no time.”
“Look! The Wind God is accelerating! She doesn’t even want to wait a few minutes!”
“There’s the edge of the forest up ahead! Without any obstacles, the BOSS’s Three-tailed Demon Fox will be even more agile! Will this interfere with the Wind God’s plan?”
After speeding up, Yuliya quickly dragged the BOSS through the forest, a cliff just five or six hundred meters ahead.
As they burst out of the trees, the Three-tailed Demon Fox exploded into even faster speeds, making a beeline for Yuliya.
Long-range attacks might be troublesome, but in close quarters, it could squash that little bug easily.
The BOSS accelerated, and Yuliya wasn’t sitting idle either; she activated another speed boost.
What would normally take half a minute to reach the cliff now only took twenty seconds.
This nail-biting race had the live chat commentators and viewers all fired up!
“Both sides are speeding up simultaneously, but the BOSS is clearly faster! Will the Wind God reach her destination before the BOSS catches up?”
“And what will she do once she gets there?”
“The BOSS is closing in! The cliff is right in front of them, but neither the BOSS nor the Wind God shows any signs of slowing down! Could this be the Wind God’s plan—to jump together?”
“The Wind God slowed down! But the BOSS didn’t! She’s about to be caught! The BOSS’s claws and tails are reaching out, ready to grab her!”
“It attacked! Look at the Wind God! She disappeared! Is it a blink spell?!”
“She timed her skill cooldown perfectly, using her blink at the last second to land safely at the edge of the cliff—right over a bottomless abyss!”
Yuliya came to a stop, her back to the cliff, facing the BOSS, clutching a stone tablet adorned with a treasure chest.
The Three-tailed Demon Fox, its attack failing, began to slow down.
With four legs and three tails, it surely had the stopping power. It was practically guaranteed to halt.
But Yuliya wasn’t interested in letting it stop.
She gave the stone tablet a shake and, like throwing darts, flung it backward while dashing sideways along the cliff.
The tablet, with its treasure chest, spun away like a flying saucer.
And Yuliya moved at a right angle to the treasure—the classic thief escaping after a snack!
Would it pursue the thief or the treasure? The stage was set, and the runway was clear—the choice was in the hands of the Three-tailed Demon Fox.
Still in a semi-brake mode, the BOSS’s brain and body weren’t quite in sync. Now it had to consider this complex dilemma, resulting in a complete brain freeze.
After a second of processing, it abandoned the brakes, smashed the accelerator, and charged toward the cliff!
That pesky mouse was annoying but nothing compared to the treasure—it was worth more than life itself!
“The Wind God’s forcing the BOSS into a choice! Will it really jump off the cliff just for a treasure chest?”
“It will! It will! It really jumped!”
“The Wind God completely has a grip on this BOSS! She’s successfully executing her plan.”
“Even though it’s a bummer to lose the treasure chest, taking down the BOSS is absolutely worth it!”
“Wait! Look at the Wind God! What’s she doing?”
“She vanished!”
The Three-tailed Demon Fox, with its fantastic jumping ability, quickly caught up to the treasure chest, both front claws reaching out to snatch it up.
But suddenly, a melodic, clear voice rang in its ears.
“Oh dear, you BOSS types really are all the same, never learning from your mistakes.”
Yuliya stood atop the spinning tablet, watching as those claws reached out and its wide eyes grew even larger, chuckling and shaking her head.
“I already showed you this trick before. Maybe try to remember next time! Oh wait, there won’t be a next time.”
In front of the astonished Three-tailed Demon Fox, Yuliya seized the stone tablet first and, in the style of a boomerang throw, launched it off to the side.
The tablet changed direction right in front of the Three-tailed Demon Fox’s eyes, angling back towards the cliff.
“And for you, down you go!”
Yuliya threw the treasure chest back while dodging the BOSS’s claws.
Not only did she evade, but she also used its claws as a stepping stone to leap up to the top of its head.
Finally, she whirled in the air and landed a powerful kick right on its forehead.
“She’s above the treasure chest!!! She’s not about to give up on this BOSS-treasure!”
“She not only reclaimed the treasure chest, but she also dealt a heavy blow to the BOSS! The BOSS is picking up speed in its descent!”
“With such a hit at such height, will the BOSS survive the fall?”
“We can’t judge that with our abilities, but we believe in the Wind God; she must have it all figured out! This is gonna be a devastating move!”
The Three-tailed Demon Fox dropped like a stone while Yuliya followed closely behind.
At this point, the BOSS’s body was out of control, straining stiffly; it finally hit a breaking point.
In mid-air, it could no longer pull any fancy moves, like a toy that had been broken—it could only plummet with gravity.
But its eyes were fixed on that pesky bug above it, the one that had given it so much trouble.
Its body was gasping for air and could find no way to shift, but its inner fury was bursting.
That bug had to d*e!
Yuliya noticed its frantic gaze and merely smiled carelessly.
It was just a classic rivalry—a fight to the bitter end.
In that moment, it felt like time stood still; all they saw was each other.
In reality, they were falling faster and faster, the distance between them widening.
This was a showdown of survival—simply a battle to see who could take the last breath.
“The BOSS is almost at the bottom! Let’s countdown to the final moment!”
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
The last count echoed from the commentator’s mouth and resonated in every viewer’s heart, lighting up in Yuliya’s eyes.
With a thunderous crash, while not as thunderous as the BOSS’s previous roars, it rang in every viewer’s ears like an explosion a hundred times over.
In that final moment, thanks to a brief pause in the little window, everyone caught a glimpse of the BOSS’s health bar.
【/】
“What?!! The BOSS isn’t dead! It still has over twenty thousand health! This is a huge blunder on the Wind God’s part!”
“Those twenty thousand health points can’t be wiped out in one hit! This is a level 40 BOSS!”
“Now the Wind God needs to find a way to land safely; if the BOSS survives, she’s done for!”
“She only has about three seconds left!”
“We see the Wind God… she’s pulling out a hammer! The Justice of Holy Light!”
