Fatal Shot

“Cough, cough. Damn! It could actually explode!”

As the flame and the light receded, a human figure whose head and energy robe were completely covered in sand sat up on the edge of the inside of the beach.

The Earth Manipulator looked terrible as he spat out the sand in his mouth!

The self-destruct ability of the Hunter had caught them completely by surprise, and the power of the explosion was even more frightening! If it hadn’t been for the fact that he’d been standing at the edge of the explosion’s radius, as well as the fact that he was covered in an Earth Energy Shield with the highest defense stats, there was no way he could’ve survived the explosion.

However, even with all those factors, his HP was now left with less than 500 points. At this point, any skill—or a shot from a Sniper—could easily kill him. But fortunately, he was located behind a huge tree, so the Sniper shouldn’t be able to hit him from his position!

At that time, the Earth Manipulator who had already sat up discovered that his teammate, the Light Armor Warrior, was walking toward him. “Hmm, you’re also still alive? Good, this way, there’s no way the Sniper would dare to come!”

However, due to the powerful bluish-white energy explosion from just now, as well as the dark environment, his eyesight had not yet recovered completely. He only recognized his teammate from the human silhouette and the alloy longsword held in front of him.

“Yup!” the Light Armor Warrior, who was just a black shadow, answered, but his voice seemed intentionally lowered.

“Why are you…?” The Earth Manipulator who had just stood up instantly changed his expression. He waved the staff in his hands and wanted to cast a skill. “No—you’re not number 17!”

“The heck! You can even recognize that?!”

With a change of voice, Big Pineapple’s wretched face appeared as the shadowy figure charged out of the forest.

Although he had been discovered, it did not change anything. Thunder Leap Slash was already activated as he leaped toward the Earth Manipulator on the beach.

Thunder Leap Slash closed the distance of not even seven meters in an instant! As for the Earth Manipulator, who had no shield and had only 500 HP left, when facing a Light Armor Warrior with incredible close-quarters combat ability, even if the Light Armor Warrior was a “fake,” he barely had any chance to resist!

A white light flashed on the beach!

“Wow, Old Feng. We’re rich now!”

By the time Feng Luo arrived, Big Pineapple was already in the midst of happily going through the spoils of battle. He held the alloy longsword of the Light Armor Warrior in his hand, and, based on his tone, Feng Luo could tell it was probably another Rare-grade weapon.

“This sword is actually a Level-50 Rare-grade piece of equipment. Moreover, it’s got decent stats. Someone would definitely buy it for 300,000 credits on the Exchange!”

The value of a Warrior’s main weapon was relatively low, so 300,000 credits was already a high price!

“However, that’s probably not our best item!” exclaimed Big Pineapple as he pointed at the Earth Manipulator. “This bastard actually has an Excellent decorative set on him; it’s no less impressive than a Rare=grade decorative item! Plus, his staff is also a Level-50 Rare item, and the rare attribute is even better. Although the price of Earth Manipulator items is pretty low, getting 300,000 to 400,000 credits for it shouldn’t be much of a problem! Tsk, tsk. These three are definitely much better than those NPCs…”

Big Pineapple looked through the spoils while throwing stuff from his backpack onto the ground. He had no choice, after all. He had now reached a point where he was running out of space to keep the Rare-grade gear!

The items dropped by the three totaled at least 30 to 40 pieces; it was comparable to their haul for an entire day.

“The three of them were participants of the Special Agent Mission who also completed the hidden mission. They were probably ranked quite high in the Dongsang City ranking, so it’s natural that they aren’t weak! In addition, similar to us, they’ve probably already ambushed many targets. That’s why it’s not odd at all that they have a lot of good things on them!”

Feng Luo carried the Barrett, looked at Big Pineapple and did not move. Instead, he headed towards the dropped items of the Sniper player, currently guarded by the two Bladed Beetles.

In fact, Feng Luo wasn’t all that interested in the items dropped by the Light Armor Warrior and Earth Manipulator. This was because the three operated together and their wealth was evenly distributed, so they would have already distributed their gear long ago. As such, it seemed likely that the items dropped by the Sniper would best suit him.

“17 shield-breaking energy bullets, five C-grade frost bullets, a Level-42 Rare-grade Military Knife, a Level-42 Rare-grade sniper rifle, a pair of Level-48 Rare-grade combat boots, and a Level-45 Rare-grade combat uniform… There are also various submachine gun and handgun bullets!”

Feng Luo looked through the spoils and found that he was very satisfied.

As a Sniper, the items collected by this player were clearly well-suited for him—especially those 17 shield-breaking energy bullets and five very rarely seen “frost bullets” with the special frostbite effect! Also, there was the Level-45 Rare combat uniform, which he could equip right away.

In fact, though the combat uniform was also a Rare-grade item, it was still a distance from Sister Rui’s “SUV series” combat uniform. Still, Feng Luo was quite satisfied with the rare attribute of the uniform. A percentage increase of his maximum HP was always a good attribute. Most of the time, an attribute like that appeared on the equipment of Heavy Armor Warriors. However, when it appeared on Gunners, it was a little odd. But that wasn’t the case for Feng Luo since he had high HP!

“Oh, that’s right. It looks like there’s another one!”

Feng Luo shifted his gaze to the metallic body of the T-750 Hunter that had been blown away on the beach due to the explosion.

******

Over a dozen minutes later, the sky had become completely dark, and after Feng Luo and Big Pineapple left, heavy footsteps suddenly came from within the forest.

A large and burly shadow walked slowly onto the beach while carrying a heavy shield with a 50-centimeter alloy spike sticking out. It looked similar to a shield used in western combat.

The moonlight illuminated his old scar, which stretched from his right eye to the left side of his face, giving him an extremely menacing appearance. However, he looked incredibly calm while surveying the three corpses on the beach.

“Numbers 17, 146, and 295… Examination failed!”

After speaking, he carried away the heavy alloy shield covered with bloodstains as he left without even looking back. The direction he was heading toward was a marked location on the map where a T-750 Hunter was supposedly lurking!
