Chapter 1054: 1054
After seeing the Boss' actual body, everyone went silent .


This water buffalo was gigantic; its height exceeded well beyond 20 metres, which was taller than a 6-storey building .
"What the heck? This guy could be level 100!" Unforgettable Maple exclaimed as he stared in disbelief .
"We're not even bigger than its toes!" Hachi Chan cried out in despair as she measured herself against the size of the beast . She found out that if this Boss merely sneezed at her, she would be blown to the other side of the map .
"Wow! How nice would it be if it was my pet!" Remnant Dream was beyond excited, drooling at the sight of the buffalo .
"Let's go . I can't tank this . I don't even want to try anymore . " Azure Sea Breeze sighed as he imagined himself crushed underneath the monster's foot with his innards spilled out .
Water Fairy also did not want to try; their strength was on completely different levels .
However, as she glanced over to Lu Li, she found that his gaze was a little different . Lu Li looked like he was trying to figure out a secret about the monster . This made her stop her words just before they left her mouth . This sense of trust in Lu Li was not always there, but had grown over time .
"I'll test it out . Wait here," Lu Li said imbued some form of poison on his daggers and rushed forward .
"Oi! Don't act recklessly!" Unforgettable Maple shouted, but could not stop Lu Li in time .


Under normal circumstances, he would wish for Lu Li to keep dying until he reached level 0, but now that they were teammates, he had his best interests in mind . If this monster truly was level 100, then not even Lu Li would have the chances of returning .
"Don't worry . "
Lu Li did not bother explaining his plan to them . After rushing towards the beast, he plunged his dagger deep into one of its legs .
Everyone felt that this was a redundant attack, since this Boss was so huge . Comparing to the Boss, Lu Li was a mere ant .
However, it was hard to determine whether it did feel the pain, since even mosquito bites could be painful .
As everyone was waiting to see what would happen, the beast that could seemingly kill any Demon Lord suddenly began to shrink rapidly . In the end, it transformed into a wolf, with a single horn on its head .
From a 6-storey-tall Boss, it was now only half a metre tall .
"What are you all looking at? Come and fight!" Lu Li yelled as he casted Gale Steps to avoid the oncoming attack and instantly began running away . The size of the Boss did not matter . After all, it was still at least a level 50 Boss that could make quick work of Lu Li .
Azure Sea Breeze regained his focus and rushed to gain aggro of the Boss . The others were still trying to shake out themselves of their daze .


"Did you already know earlier?" Water Fairy asked, unable to resist .

She found herself admiring Lu Li more and more . After all, he was the unannounced 'leader' of many big-name guilds .
"Yeah . I wasn't sure at first though," Lu Li answered as he fought .

Truthfully, he had read something on a book that mentioned this monster . The book also mentioned something about an NPC who had experience with travelling within the Twisting Nether . Lu Li also reckoned that in a couple of years, this NPC would be either leading players personally into Twisting Nether or helping them enter the place .
The monster that they had faced was a type of Nether Beast – a Single-horned Nether Wolf .
Nether Beasts had a special ability, which was to transform . They could choose to transform into a large or small beast . It was also possible for them to transform into other races . These were not mere appearance deceptions, but they were also able to emit the same type of aura as the things that they transformed into . That was why the beast was able to make itself seem much stronger than what it was .
Players just needed to attack the beast for the illusion to be dispelled . However, this was easier said than done – it required immense courage .
Lu Li recognised that this was a Nether Beast fairly quickly . The reason behind this was because the monsters that were guarding it were all level 50, while it had made itself seem like a level 100 Boss .
After recognising the strange situation, Lu Li figured it out .
As for actual battling abilities, Nether Beasts were weaker than normal Bosses . However, players still needed to be wary of its illusion abilities .
It was fortunate that the skills used by the Beasts were common ones . Lu Li believed that if they were cautious when battling, taking this Boss down was not impossible . However, while Lu Li was not worried about the Boss, he was worried about how to reveal his strategy for fighting, since the players here weren't all from his own guild .
As he mulled over this, the Nether Wolf had already begun moving .
Shadow Clones!
Three Nether Wolves all left Azure Sea Breeze and began to pursue other players .
"I've got the real one!" Unforgettable Maple yelled .
"I've got the real one too!" Kitty Likes Meat also yelled .
"Damn . I think I've got the real one too!" Elevenless began to chuckle bitterly .
Dawn had many monsters that could use Clone skills, especially Instance dungeon Bosses .
The players present today were elite players and their reaction times were extremely fast . As they were being attacked, they would use the damage that they had received to identify the real body .
Despite this, the three that were attacked all said that they had the real body .
This meant that the damage dealt by the Boss was extremely high, whether clone or not . Azure Sea Breeze could not figure out what was going on, so he couldn't decide on which monster to pull away . Fortunately for him, Lu Li's instructions came just in time .
"Pull the one with Kitty Likes Meat and ignore the others . Unforgettable Maple, stop using mitigation!"
Lu Li had been partners with Azure Sea Breeze for a long time, so he had unwavering confidence in Lu Li . His body instantly moved at the command .
Had it not been for Kitty Likes Meat mitigation skill, she would have died .
"Argh, damn it! I'm nearly dead! Argh!" Unforgettable Maple was going crazy . He did not know why Lu Li decided that Kitty Likes Meat's attacker was the real one, while he was here, tanking huge amounts of damage from his . He did not think that he could last any longer .
"Ignore the other two," Lu Li said without wavering .
"Lu Li, if I die, you're going to need to compensate me . " Elevenless was also nearing the end of his HP bar . Both of them weren't Lu Li's set teammates, so they did not have the basic foundation of trust in Lu Li .
