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.


Of the few possible scenarios, if he landed on the beach, it might result in death upon impact. If he jumped a little further, he might land on the rocky reefs. He had to jump, there was no other choice. With the King Crocodile right behind him, the next attack would definitely result in his death.


"Lord Liu was chased all the way to the seaside! It's a dead end! There doesn't seem to be any other way out!" Saffron Ma continued to explain to the others.


"Lord Liu is powerful, he was able to escape from the creature's grasp!" Xu Ji Cao spoke up.


"Lord Liu is in danger, if we don't help, then how can we call ourselves as comrades! I, Stratos, will be the first to rush over to help!" Stratos tried to rally up others.


"You want to go? One claw and one stomp, you will become pancake!" Liu Kang responded.


"But, we can't just stand here idly!" Stratos was emotionally stirred.


"Lord Liu jumped! No! The King Crocodile knocked him over…" Saffron Ma corrected himself.


Saffron Ma was correct with his assessment. Liu Gan didn't jump down willingly. The King Crocodile had swung its claws at him. The attack was enough to clip him over the edge. Liu Gan was still hesitating over his decision. A blue colored spark was seen by Saffron Ma, and Liu Gan's body went spinning away like a gyroscope. He was heading straight down into the shoreline.


Liu Gan glanced at where he was going to land, it was the reefs. The jagged rocks were all along the shoreline. If he continued to fall there, he would shatter all his bones even if he didn't die. He was looking around for things along the cliff to slow his descent.


Unfortunately for Liu Gan, from the precipice to his position was over ten meters. In mid air, there was nothing he could grab ahold of. Liu Gan was free falling down onto the reef.


If he continued with his trajectory, Liu Gan would land on a large coral bank in a high-speed collision. His limbs would still be intact, but his body would be smeared all over it.


In a moment of desperation, Liu Gan pulled off his clothes and spread out limbs. Recalling his previous experience with a winged fly suit, he wanted to glide out toward the open sea.


A hundred meter fall. It didn't allow for much time to maneuver. Now that he was semi-nude, he drifted a few degrees further. That small amount of motion was enough of a deviation for Liu Gan to evade death upon impact on the reef.


Liu Gan landed in the sea, instantly plunging two meters over his head. There was nothing to slow down his descent but the water itself, which was almost like hitting something solid after such a long drop. Underwater, his body slammed violently onto the submerged mass of the coral reef.
