Twelve seconds was a very short time. Ye Ci did not run very far before Garrison thawed. Evidently, Ye Ci's actions had thoroughly enraged it. After the ice had thawed, Half-eyed Garrison roared towards the sky. Its roar was so loud that it shook the heavens, causing waves of sound waves to ripple through the forest. Ye Ci ran as fast as she could, but she could not escape the effects of the sound waves. Her HP kept dropping.
"What a monster!" Ye Ci cursed. Then, she took out a health potion and stuffed it into her mouth. She healed her HP and continued to run forward.
Garrison was too big. No matter how good Ye Ci's balance was, or how nimble her limbs were, running in front of such a huge creature would only waste time. That was why she had given up on leaping from the tree branches. Instead, she lowered her head and pumped her way through the forest.
There were many thick trees in the forest. Ye Ci purposely jumped from tree to tree, which greatly affected Garrison, who had been tailing Ye Ci. Again and again, it slowed down its speed.
The temperature in the air seemed to be rising.
As Ye Ci ran, she could feel large beads of sweat seeping out of her forehead. These beads of sweat flowed down her forehead and her hair. They flowed into her leather armor, causing her to feel very uncomfortable. She raised an arm and casually wiped the sweat off her forehead. She took out a Speed Potion and drank it. If she was not mistaken, she was getting closer and closer to the Burning Crevice.
Normally, monsters in the wild would automatically return to their original spot after running out of a certain range. They would not chase after people endlessly. They had their own territories and did not have the time to care about other people running out of their territory. However, Epic monsters were different. They had the same characteristics as the monsters in dungeons — they would never give up until they fought to the death. However, the monsters in Instance Dungeons had some sense of range. As long as you ran out of the Instance Dungeon, they would give up. However, this Epic monster was different. It was a wild monster that ran all over the map. As long as you didn't die, as long as you didn't run into the Instance Dungeon, as long as its aggro was always on you, you couldn't shake it off.
Half-eyed Garrison was annoyed by the thick trees, so it jumped up. Of course, it wouldn't jump too high, but that wasn't the point. The point was that when it landed, its tail, which was as thick as a telephone pole, swept fiercely at the thick tree trunks.
She could only hear the wind howling in the air, which was caused by Garrison's tail. It pounced on the back of Ye Ci's neck, causing her to feel waves of pain. Following that, a series of cracking sounds followed behind the wind. Ye Ci stole a glance and saw that all the trees around Garrison had collapsed, no matter how thick they were, forming a fan shape. It was a ghastly sight.
Ye Ci was speechless. She could even imagine that if she was hit by such a skill, she would probably die without even feeling the pain.
Wave after wave of heatwaves assaulted her. She was getting closer and closer to the Burning Crevice, and Garrison was also getting closer and closer. Finally, the trees in front of her disappeared, and a huge open space appeared. The ground had already been scorched black, and the scorching air continued to rise. Ye Ci took a deep breath and jumped into the crevice.
Just as Ye Ci leaped into the air, Garrison activated another Epic-tier skill, Charge. Its body shot towards Ye Ci like an arrow released from a bow … No, it was more accurate to say that it was like an atomic bomb that had been derailed from its tracks.
Fortunately, Ye Ci's jump was high enough, allowing Garrison to fall into the crevice while sticking close to Ye Ci's heels. Ye Ci heaved a sigh of relief. That was too close. If she was hit by Garrison now, she would probably die without a trace.
Although Ye Ci had already dodged Garrison's Charge, she still abided by Newton's First Law and followed behind Garrison, falling rapidly towards the bottom of the crevice. The wind blew past her ears, causing her ears to hurt. The waves of heat that surged from the bottom to the top even made her skin burn.
At the bottom of the Burning Crevice was the ground that had already been scorched black. There were many places where thick smoke billowed out, and there were even many places where the glaring red of magma could be seen. Garrison was much heavier than Ye Ci. Naturally, its falling speed was faster than Ye Ci's. Ye Ci watched as Garrison landed heavily on a piece of scorched ground, creating billowing smoke that blurred Ye Ci's vision.
At this moment, Ye Ci immediately activated Featherfall. Her body immediately became light, and her falling speed became slower and slower. Finally, she landed softly at the bottom of the Burning Crevice like a soft feather.
According to the National Library, this crack was created by the Naga's giant claws during the War of the Heavens. The magic on its claws had turned the fertile land into scorched earth. The flames had burned for many years, and even after so many years, it was still scorching hot. Anyone who stepped on it would lose HP from the heat.
It was really too hot here. Ye Ci was sweating more than when she was running. Soon, she began to feel parched. This state made her body a little sluggish. She took out a cool spring water and poured it into her mouth. The cool spring water immediately brought a moment of freshness to Ye Ci. She greedily drank the sweetness of the spring water.
After resolving some of the negative statuses, Ye Ci began to search for Garrison's corpse. When Ye Ci fell, she had kicked Garrison. She didn't know if she had caused any damage, but if she was lucky enough to break through its defense, then all the equipment dropped by Garrison would be hers.
Although the chances weren't high, Ye Ci couldn't help but feel happy when she thought about the equipment dropped by the Epic-tier creature.
It did not take long for her to locate Garrison's position. It was actually not far from where Ye Ci had landed. However, it was hidden behind a huge rock, so Ye Ci didn't notice it immediately. After climbing up the rock, Ye Ci realized that her equipment was hopeless before she could even reach the bottom.
Because this guy wasn't dead at all! Although it had lost at least 90% of its HP from the fall, it wasn't dead yet. It lay there panting desperately. Its stomach was moving up and down because of its panting. It seemed that this guy was still quite energetic.
Perhaps Garrison didn't notice Ye Ci at all. When Ye Ci climbed up the rock, Garrison didn't move at all. It just lay there panting.
Should I kill it? The thought flashed across Ye Ci's mind, but she immediately rejected it. This was an Epic-tier creature. It wasn't like it only had 1% of its HP left. It had 10% of its HP left. She probably couldn't kill it. Even if she could, it would take a few hours. However, in this place, the burning effect would appear at all times. It wasn't suitable for a prolonged battle. The scariest thing was that this guy could move. If it discovered her, it could kill her with a swipe of its tail. Wouldn't that be a loss?
After thinking about it, Ye Ci decided that running for her life was more important. Although this was an Epic-tier creature, and although she was drooling over the equipment that this fellow had brought, she really did not have any advantage here. She did not have many potions on her, and if she continued to grind, she was afraid that she would die here.
After making up her mind, Ye Ci turned around and ran. She slipped and a loose rock rolled down the mountain. Ye Ci was shocked. She quickly reached out to grab the rock, but she didn't catch anything. The rock rolled towards Garrison's hind legs!
Oh no! Ye Ci immediately crouched down and pressed her body against the rock. Then, she activated Feign Death. In an instant, she became like a dead person. Even her aura disappeared without a trace. Ye Ci didn't move. She stared at the rock as it rushed down the mountain towards Garrison's hind legs. Then, it smashed into Garrison!
She closed her eyes, hoping that Garrison wouldn't discover her. However, there was an 18 level difference between them. Garrison had a high chance of seeing through her.
However, Ye Ci didn't expect that after the rock smashed into Garrison's hind legs, it only trembled a little. After that, it didn't move at all. This … was too strange. Normally, Epic-tier creatures were very sensitive. They would rush forward to eliminate the enemy at the slightest sign of danger. This could be seen from how Ye Ci lured Garrison. But now, it didn't move at all when such a large rock smashed into it. It couldn't be described as strange.
Ye Ci wanted to use Identify, but once she did, her Feign Death effect would disappear. What if she was discovered?
Ye Ci calmed herself down and jumped up from the ground. She immediately rolled to the other side of the rock. After waiting for a few seconds, she found that there was still no movement. Then, she slowly stuck her head out and used Identify on Garrison. Garrison's attributes soon popped up.
Half-eyed Garrison
Race: Dinosaur
Level: 48
Category: Epic-tier creature
Skills: Bite, Tail Sweep, Tackle, Tremor
Status: Disabled
HP:????
As expected of an Epic-tier creature. Its icon clearly showed that it only had 10% HP left. However, the HP in its attributes was still a question mark. Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and looked at the most attractive part of the Identify skill — Disabled.
Disabled meant that it wouldn't be able to move. Ye Ci had tested this effect on Wandering Cloud before. The effect was very obvious. However, she didn't expect that the same effect would appear on an Epic-tier creature.
However, this wasn't the main point.
The main point was that Disabled only meant one thing …
Right now, Garrison was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. It didn't matter if it was an Epic-tier creature or not.
