Pretending To Be A Boss

They had expected these people to be driven out by the beasts, yet they played a bigger game than anticipated.

A catastrophic-level boss creature appeared, and though they hadn't seen the Holy Tree, the massive silhouettes at the end of their sight still sent shivers down the spines of Zhong Xiuran's team members.

Zhong Xiuran also guessed some clues.

He couldn't bear to abandon his traps and hesitated for a long time. Just as the ground fissure was about to expand to his area, he was about to issue the command to retreat.

At this moment, s004 and the Black Snake appeared.

By a stroke of bad luck, they triggered the remaining traps set by Zhong Xiuran.

Feeling the vibrations under their feet, the team members yelled and ran for their lives.

But Zhong Xiuran refused to run.

The hunting festival was likely not going to continue, with a catastrophic-level boss creature appearing, who would dare stay on the third day?

Yet the competition had to go on.

You couldn't return empty-handed after all.

Vines and branches intertwined, sand and soil clustered; Zhong Xiuran's traps were simple, but with his power to manipulate the environment, the traps became inescapable.

In a sense, he was more like an elite-strength Zudun Holy Tree.

"Hand over your prop bag and tell me the prop password, or you'll die here!"

The lazy young master didn't scare anyone when he played the villain; both his lines and acting were somewhat lacking.

A fierce killing intent surged in s004's gaze. His face, devoid of hair and eyebrows, had an intimidating presence in itself.

This glare only made him look more ferocious.

But Zhong Xiuran's first response was to slap him twice.

"This is a robbery, know your place."

Of course, s004 wouldn't hand over his prop bag. He just silently stared at Zhong Xiuran.

The gap in strength between the two men was huge, and even though he was the one trapped, his aura still overwhelmed Zhong Xiuran.

Meanwhile, the huge silhouettes in their line of sight became clearer and clearer.

Everyone was convinced that a Zudun Giant was running their way.

"Captain! We'll lose our lives if we don't leave now!" The team members dared not delay.

They barely had the strength to fight against perfect-level creatures, but the sheer size of the Zudun Giant, towering six hundred meters tall, often made people subconsciously forget its level.

The severity of the earthquake grew stronger, like the power emanating from the center of the termite mound had finally reached the outskirts.

The pressure in Zhong Xiuran's heart also increased gradually, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Retreat!"

The breath of death was slowly blowing their way.

Zhong Xiuran could no longer concern himself with his traps and led his team in a swift escape.

Without Zhong Xiuran's telekinesis, s004 and the Black Snake quickly broke free from these traps.

They extricated themselves from the mud and sand.

Despite the delay, it hadn't messed up their plans.

The two of them made some quick adjustments and prepared to leave again.

They were almost under the giant shadow of the Zudun Giant.

At this time, s004 sensed an unknown presence and revealed a puzzled expression.

The Zudun Giant couldn't possibly attack from such a distance.

He turned around with a mix of shock and suspicion, only to freeze instantly.

A figure was descending in a parabolic trajectory from the sky.

Like a precisely aimed missile.

He didn't know who the incoming person was, but that smiling mask was already known to every high-ranking official in the evolution zones.

Tang Xian felt the first half of his entrance was absolutely as cool as an Indian movie.

But the second half of his entrance was a bit nonsensical.

Luckily, with the mask, there was no real face-plant.

Having plummeted from hundreds of meters in the air twice, Tang Xian had completely gotten used to the pain.

He quickly got up, straightened his mask, and said:
