"Damn it, why is she still not letting go? This woman is like a mad dog!"

No matter how the green-hatted gamer fled, he couldn’t shake off the Elf Queen’s vengeance lock-on, which made him feel extremely frustrated. It seemed like this Elf Boss really wanted to push him to death?!

However, as the saying goes, if you don’t have three points of courage, how dare you go up to the Heaven Mountain? The green-hatted gamer dared to come to this hidden space alone because he had some skills.

At the very least, even when he was being chased by the Elf Queen, he never showed fear. It was clear that the green-hatted gamer had no intention of going toe-to-toe with the Elf Queen and was focused solely on escaping, hoping to get rid of this annoying plaster.

Over to Su Ran, he was a bit surprised by the green-hatted gamer’s strength. There wasn’t even an oxygen-depletion BUFF, which meant this guy, just like him, could stay underwater for a long time. Su Ran remembered the scene on the volcano. He wasn’t even afraid of lava. It was a wonder what special skill he had learned that made him impervious to fire and water!

Another thing, his speed in the water was much faster than the Elf Queen’s. Despite chasing each other so long, the Elf Queen hadn’t even caught a glimpse of his shadow!

You don’t realize until you observe, but once you do, it’s quite shocking. The green-hatted guy’s strength really shouldn’t be underestimated!

"Wonder if this guy will join the martial arts tournament. I really want to have a rematch with him."

Unwittingly, Su Ran felt a bit itchy to join in. He really wanted to charge into the Holy Spring and join the Elf Queen in ambushing him.

Perhaps, he might even get a couple of top-notch items for himself. After all, the green-hatted gamer was his lucky charm, and he shouldn’t let him go so easily.

However, Su Ran wasn’t the type to kick someone when they were down. The green-hatted guy had already taken enough blame for him, which was meaningful enough. Now that he was being relentlessly chased by the Elf Queen, it really wouldn’t be decent of him to also make a move.

Thinking this, Su Ran kept his eager thoughts at bay and contentedly watched the excitement, curious to see how long this guy could keep running.

...

"What’s going on? Why isn’t it here? This can’t be possible!"

The green-hatted gamer fled while trying to find the target of his trip, but to his disappointment, the place was devastated, looking like a village raided by enemies. Where could there be any hiding places for treasures?

By now, the Elf Queen’s temper had grown even shorter. A northern light surged from her hands, transforming into dozens of beams of light, bombarding towards the despised human.

"Damn, I thought this BOSS was a melee fighter, turns out she’s a magic-caster, crap, this is troublesome..."

The green-hatted gamer, who dared not get hit by the Elf Queen, twisted his body and melted into the water of the spring, disappearing from sight.

"Huh?"

The Elf Queen did not hit her target and watched helplessly as the human vanished before her eyes. After losing her lock-on, she was even less able to pull this guy out of the Holy Spring.

"Such an impressive invisibility technique!"

Su Ran watched in amazement where the green-hatted gamer had vanished, admiring his skill. This guy’s invisibility technique required no waiting time, and even the Elf Queen couldn’t see through it, truly twisted.

He realized that given enough time, this green-hatted gamer could definitely make a name for himself, and even climbing the Heavenly List wasn’t out of the question!

At that moment, Su Ran really wanted to put on the Death Sedge Cloak and expose him!

But then again, he was a pure and kind person, how could he engage in such a dark act?!

No sooner had this thought crossed Su Ran’s mind than he unexpectedly found that he had already put on the Death Sedge Cloak without realizing it.

Ahem, this is awkward.

Having no choice, as his mind couldn’t overcome the will of his body, Su Ran could only play the role of the bad guy and immediately employed the Death Gaze, a top-tier skill.

"Whoosh!"

A gray ripple spread out, even causing a folding effect in the area within the spring, creating a very bizarre visual effect.

The outcome was not hard to guess. Under the influence of Death Gaze, the "green hat" player couldn’t hide his figure, revealing his form which was trying to sneak away. It was laughable that the fellow hadn’t realized he had been exposed, continuing to tiptoe forward, attempting to flee from the wrath of the elf queen.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, the elf queen was not about to let go of such a perfect opportunity. She gathered a bright orb of light in her hands, continually infusing energy into it. Su Ran could feel on the shore the imposing power of this move.

"Shouldn’t be, right?"

The "green hat" player felt a tremor in his heart upon noticing the elf queen’s anomaly, but he had trust in his Invisibility Technique, believing that the boss was just bluffing to coax him into revealing himself.

"Hey, keep pretending. Wait until you waste your move, let’s see where you’ll put your face then!"

The "green hat" player pushed away the sliver of discomfort in his heart and sneakily approached the elf queen from behind, waiting to see her embarrass herself.

"Green hat buddy, have a good journey..."

Having fulfilled its purpose, Su Ran quickly stowed away the Death Sedge Cloak to prevent the youngster from noticing anything off and making it difficult to trick him in the future. It was easy to see from the "green hat" player’s continued challenge and provocation of the elf queen’s patience that he was clueless about his invisibility being compromised.

"Die!!!"

The elf queen squeezed out a word between her teeth, and numerous bubbles appeared, reducing the murderous intent in her voice. Suddenly, she spun around, and the orb of light she had been holding blasted out, striking the still oblivious "green hat" player with unerring accuracy.

"Damn!"

Only at this moment did the "green hat" player realize his invisibility had failed, his face showing panic. However, he had already lost the upper hand—the proximity, combined with the orb’s swift speed, left him no chance to escape!

Helplessly, the "green hat" player could only cross his arms in front of his chest, hoping to withstand this incredibly ferocious move.

"Boom!!!"

A massive explosion roared, even blasting a three-meter-high water column from the surface of the water, showing just how terrifying the power of this move was.

"Tsk tsk, green hat bro, better stop doing senseless things. Died again and again, yet never learns!"

Su Ran looked at the now murky waters and couldn’t help but sigh deeply. Given the horror of the skill he had just witnessed, he felt the odds were slim for the "green hat" player to make it through. Regarding this, Su Ran silently mourned for him for a few seconds in his heart—after all, he had come to take the blame for him; he had to appear decent.

"Huh?"

As the turbidity in the spring settled, revealing the previously clear water, Su Ran unexpectedly found that there was no corpse of the "green hat" player, which puzzled him.

In such a short time, the body couldn’t have disappeared; this could only mean that the lad had escaped another calamity.

As for where the "green hat" player had fled to, Su Ran could no longer ascertain.
