Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 28 The Hunt
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars fill the heavens.

Perhaps it's because autumn has arrived, but the wind in the abandoned city is unusually noisy tonight.

Lin Ye's figure, like a shadow gliding along the ground, silently arrived at the designated ambush point.

Another week has passed since the last battle with Lone Wolf.

For seven days, he did the same thing every day.

All five daily tasks were completed perfectly, without missing a single one.

The sparring time with Chen Meng was extended from one hour to one and a half hours.

The frequency has also changed from five days a week to seven days a week.

Chen Meng grew to appreciate this student more and more for his stable mindset, strong will, and diligence.

Their relationship gradually changed from that of teacher and student.

However, judging from the training results, Lin Ye was still being beaten one-sidedly. The more familiar he was with Lin Ye, the harder he hit him.

However, under such high pressure, Lin Ye's understanding and application of staff techniques and body movements are also improving at an accelerated pace.

Finally, I leveled up in the abandoned city.

Four days ago, Lin Ye had already reached level 7.

He is now only one level below that mutated black panther.

Today, all preparations are complete.

The hunt is about to begin.

Lin Ye took a deep breath and adjusted himself to his peak condition.

He took out a small, sealed piece of mutated porcupine meat from his backpack, which smelled strongly of blood. It was his spoils from the hunt.

Tear a small hole in the sealed bag on the meat, and the strong smell of blood instantly fills the howling night wind.

Instead of throwing the piece of meat, he tied it to his calf, then turned and began to slowly move toward the trap he had carefully designed.

Lin Ye wasn't sure if the black panther would appear in this place at this time.

But he had no choice but to gamble.

They walked less than 100 meters.

A chilling, menacing aura, like a tangible ice spike, suddenly pierced from behind!

coming!

Lin Ye's heart suddenly raced, and the moment he realized his prey had taken the bait, he switched from walking to running.

It's just a slow run with controlled speed.

He didn't even turn around.

Behind him, a black afterimage flashed by in the shadows of the ruins, as fast as a ghost!

This mutated black panther, comparable in size to a tiger, stood silently on the broken cement blocks, its beastly eyes, glowing with an eerie green light in the darkness, fixed intently on Lin Ye's back.

It didn't run at full speed either, but simply hung behind Lin Ye, ensuring that Lin Ye couldn't escape its sight while maintaining a certain distance.

It is observing and judging.

Lin Ye felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that he had underestimated the cunning of this beast.

This black panther's intelligence far surpasses that of any mutated beast they've encountered before!

Lin Ye suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the narrow alleyway he had already chosen.

Seeing its prey speed away, the black panther let out a deep roar and suddenly exerted force with its hind legs!
boom!
Its entire body transformed into an arrow released from a bow, so fast that it even left a clearly visible shockwave in the air!

He sensed a strong gust of wind coming from behind him.

Lin Ye also turned around and glanced back.

The previous safe distance is being rapidly reduced.

This mutated black panther was much faster than any of the hunts he had ever observed before!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ye had already rushed into the alley.

The stench of the wind behind him almost brushed against the back of his neck!

It's now!

Without even looking, Lin Ye used all his strength to throw the short steel bar he had been holding in his hand in the intended direction!
Lin Ye had practiced this move no less than fifty times. "Clang!"

The steel bar precisely hit the weak support point of the huge concrete slab hanging above the alley!
It was accompanied by a sickening metallic creaking sound.

The concrete slab, weighing several tons, crashed down!
A huge shadow instantly enveloped the entire alleyway!

However, just as the concrete slab was about to fall, the black panther displayed a terrifying reaction and agility completely disproportionate to its massive size!

Its body twisted abruptly in mid-air, abruptly halting its forward momentum. At the same time, it slammed its front paws against the side wall, using the force to propel itself backward!

Boom——!
The cement slab slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and causing the entire alleyway to tremble!
Did you make it?

Lin Ye asked himself this question, but the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure as black as ink suddenly leaped out, accompanied by a deafening roar!

The edge of the cement slab still managed to hit its tail.

At this moment, its tail was dripping with blood, presenting a bizarre twist, and its other parts were covered with wounds from being cut by rubble.

It didn't die!
It wasn't even seriously damaged!
Lin Ye's gaze sharpened.

The worst case scenario still happened.

What surprised Lin Ye even more was that the wounds on the black panther's body caused by the stones were oozing out strips of flesh and tissue, which were still wriggling!

That's a sign that its wound is healing quickly.

Lin Ye had also seen other mutated beasts.

But I've never seen a black panther recover from minor injuries so quickly!

A word suddenly popped into Lin Ye's mind.

Special variant!
Among mutated beasts, some monsters have a much higher degree of mutation than others.

Most mutated beasts will be classified by the system as grunts or ordinary monsters like him.

But others are elite monsters!
Clearly, this special mutant in front of us is an elite as recognized by the system!
Lin Ye forced himself to calm down.

Because this mutated black panther might be a special mutant.

He had anticipated the same thing.

"Roar--!"

The excruciating pain fully unleashed the black panther's ferocity. Ignoring the injury to its tail, it charged forward on all fours.

Having lost some of the balancing functions of its tail, its speed was also affected.

But the overwhelming sense of oppression was several times stronger than before!
Lin Ye knew that he and this mutated beast were now locked in a life-or-death struggle!

Lin Ye turned and ran, rushing towards the wall at the end of the alley.

Lin Ye used the second contingency plan.

He slammed his stick into the wall he had already damaged, sending debris flying and creating a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through.

Lin Ye slipped inside.

The black panther followed closely behind, its powerful right paw smashing through the breach, then it roared and charged in.

Inside the hole is an abandoned, unfinished building.

Lin Ye ran ahead, with the black leopard chasing behind.

A life-or-death chase unfolds between a human and a beast inside this building filled with obstacles!
Using the complex terrain, Lin Ye constantly maneuvered around the enemy while running wildly upstairs.

The moment he rushed to the top of the third-floor staircase, he kicked a huge metal barrel next to him.

Bang!

The metal barrel tumbled down the stairs, precisely blocking Black Panther's path.

The black panther swatted the metal barrel away with one paw, but this also interrupted its pursuit for a fraction of a second.

It's just a fraction of a second!
Lin Ye had already rushed up to the fourth floor.

However, this elite mutant beast's learning and adaptability exceeded Lin Ye's expectations.

When Lin Ye tried to use the same trick on the fifth floor, Black Panther anticipated it and jumped up in advance, stepping on the wall to directly jump over the iron barrel trap!

A sharp claw-like gust of wind attacked Lin Ye from his side and rear!
Can't avoid it!
