The wolf claw, accompanied by a dark wind and a foul stench, struck violently toward Luo Taozhi’s face.
“Watch out!”
Xiao Nanchu, who was following closely behind Luo Taozhi, blurted out the warning.
The moment he saw the wolf claw swinging toward that small figure in the air, Xiao Nanchu’s heart couldn’t help but tighten.
“Tch.”
However, Luo Taozhi, who was facing the claw directly, didn’t show the slightest hint of panic. In fact, she even let out a disdainful sound.
Facing the incoming claw with no foothold in midair, it seemed as if she was about to be hit.
Suddenly, Luo Taozhi swung the long sword in her hand with a burst of strength. She actually used that momentum to twist her body, spinning in the air along with the arc of her blade.
She narrowly grazed past the top of the wolf’s claw.
Xiao Nanchu, watching her flip through the air, was left dazed.
It made no sense at all. He couldn’t understand how Luo Taozhi had managed to complete that series of movements in midair.
Yet, the fact remained. Luo Taozhi had performed a set of actions in the air that almost defied the laws of physics.
**[-44]**
A crimson number representing damage floated up from the Wild Wolf King.
Without a doubt, while spinning in the air, Luo Taozhi had even found the spare time to slash at the wolf’s claw.
Using the counterforce from the strike, she halted her rotation and landed smoothly on the ground.
She hadn’t lost a single point of health.
“What are you looking at? Stay back.”
Upon landing, Luo Taozhi unceremoniously issued an eviction order to Xiao Nanchu as he caught up.
She had completely forgotten that she wasn’t the one who discovered this BOSS, but rather the person she was currently driving away.
“Wait, didn’t I discover this BOSS first?”
Xiao Nanchu snapped out of his shock over Luo Taozhi’s mechanics.
Facing her attempt to push him away, Xiao Nanchu actually found it somewhat amusing.
Luo Taozhi’s mechanics were indeed flashy, but her damage was almost laughable in his eyes.
If it weren’t for his own poor mechanics—his inability to deal damage while dodging—the BOSS definitely wouldn’t have been at full health by the time Luo Taozhi saw it.
He simply needed a teammate.
“Then it’s every person for themselves.”
The offline Luo Taozhi seemed like a completely different person from the Xiao Taozhi who liked to spam the World Channel. Her words were ice-cold.
After speaking, she dodged another pounce from the Wild Wolf King without hesitation, swinging her sword to carve another wound into its body.
**[-44]**
**[-44]**
*Awooo!*
*Awooo!!*
A wolf howl that didn’t belong to the Wild Wolf King rang out.
Before they knew it, several dark shadows had suddenly appeared around the Wild Wolf King.
These shadows were none other than pitch-black Adult Wild Wolves!
“Oh?”
Luo Taozhi didn’t show a hint of fear in the face of the growing number of opponents. Her posture didn’t waver as she charged forward once again.
“Let’s party up.”
Xiao Nanchu issued another party invitation, but Luo Taozhi still had no intention of paying him any mind.
She danced gracefully amidst the wolf pack. The pounces and bites of the surrounding wolves couldn’t even touch the corner of her clothes.
**[-44]**
**[-50]**
**[-100! Critical Hit!]**
Looking at the damage Luo Taozhi was dealing, it was clear that the summoned wolves were significantly weaker in defense than the Wild Wolf King.
The damage numbers that popped up when her sword hit them were much higher than those on the Wild Wolf King.
“Wait, you actually have time to aim for critical hits?!”
Xiao Nanchu was stunned by the chaotic battle in front of him.
At this moment, he gained a clearer understanding of the life-and-death struggles Luo Taozhi had faced in Another World.
This girl was a pure practical combatant!
Her movements were clean and efficient. With every step, she could precisely find a gap in the pack’s attacks.
With every swing, she found the optimal solution to maximize damage while ensuring her own safety.
As he observed, Xiao Nanchu was surprised to find that her seemingly casual horizontal sweeps sometimes dealt damage to both the Wild Wolf King and the Adult Wild Wolves simultaneously.
The attacks in this game could actually function as area-of-effect damage?
*Tsk, tsk.*
Up until now, Luo Taozhi hadn’t lost a single drop of blood.
However, Xiao Nanchu didn’t plan on just watching from the sidelines.
He charged forward, gripping his Single-handed Sword and small round shield.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but as he rushed in, it felt as though the dancing Luo Taozhi had found the time to spare him a glance.
‘No way. Does this girl really have the spare energy to monitor my movements while facing the attacks of one Wild Wolf King and three Adult Wild Wolves?’
‘It must be my imagination. Even if Luo Taozhi cultivated in a sect and fought Demonic Beasts, she was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, right?’
‘Didn’t this girl get sent back because she failed her Crossing Tribulation while trying to break through to the Golden Core Stage?’
‘Is the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage really this terrifying?’
But this was a game. No matter how strong Luo Taozhi was, her Attribute Panel only reflected Level 5.
Facing a Wild Wolf King and three Adult Wild Wolves, even if she had the energy to keep an eye on him, she probably shouldn’t have the time to care, right?
With that thought, Xiao Nanchu drew his sword and slashed at the Wild Wolf King.
**[-600]**
**Shield Bash!**
**[-250!]**
**Stun!**
*Awooo!!*
With just two hits, the Wild Wolf King’s Aggro instantly shifted to Xiao Nanchu.
Xiao Nanchu’s guess was right; Luo Taozhi did indeed have energy to spare while facing those four monsters.
Her hands never stopped moving, but as she watched the damage the player named Left Hand High Damage, Right Hand High Damage dealt to the Wild Wolf King, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Was this a joke?
“Are you cheating?”
What kind of ghost-tier damage was this? It was several times higher than hers!
What was the point of trying so hard? She had been maneuvering here for so long, yet her total damage wasn’t even as high as this guy’s two hits.
“Come on, let’s party up.”
Xiao Nanchu sent another party invitation to Luo Taozhi.
“You saw it. My damage is indeed high, but my mechanics are lacking.”
**[Player Left Hand High Damage, Right Hand High Damage has invited you to join a party.]**
**[Accept]**
There was nothing more to say; she simply accepted.
Although she could have soloed it, the BOSS had been discovered by him after all. It wouldn’t feel right to just take it over.
Xiao Nanchu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Taozhi’s name turn green.
It was true that Luo Taozhi could achieve a solo kill, but he couldn’t. Despite his massive damage, he wouldn’t be able to do it alone.
In just that short moment, Xiao Nanchu, who had pulled the Wild Wolf King’s Aggro, was struck by the beast’s claws.
**[-200]**
With one strike, Xiao Nanchu’s health immediately dropped by more than half.
‘He didn’t die?’
Luo Taozhi was stunned again.
She hadn’t taken any damage herself, but she had seen other players.
Most would die instantly after being bumped by a Small Wild Boar. What about this guy?
He could actually survive a direct hit from a BOSS?
*Tsk, tsk.* How exaggerated.
Swinging her long sword, damage numbers continuously rose from the surrounding wolves.
Without the Wild Wolf King’s interference, these three wolves couldn’t last long against her.
**[-50]**
**[-100]**
**[-100]**
*Awooo…*
Following a few whimpers, the three Adult Wild Wolves dissipated into black smoke.
Without slowing down, Luo Taozhi charged directly toward the Wild Wolf King that had been lured away.
