Fatal Shot

“Earl!” As the two Warrior players were vigorously applying the Buffing Potions onto themselves, Xing Shao summoned his Commander grade pet.

“Tch!”

After appearing, the Commander grade bat flew in the air instantly in front of the three people, showing-off, its over two-meter wings flapping a gust of wind.

“Xing Shao, Boss Seven Kills is already aware of the situation here and told us never to be careless, he said that that Sniper with the crazy attack has just stopped attacking. Leader Old K and the others look like they’ve met with trouble, they can’t be contacted now.” After applying the potions, the Heavy Armored Warrior conveyed Seven Kills’ reply to Xing Shao.

A white light flashed before the two of them as they had summoned their battle pets out too.

“That Sniper? What a fast reaction, could it be their communication isn’t cut?” Xing Shao asked the two Warrior players as he glanced at the Recon Meter with completely no response, while the submachine gun in his hands was still aimed at the passageway entrance.

“Very likely. Xing Shao, that Sniper’s attack power is too rad. You stand at the passageway entrance, don’t leave my protection. After the battle starts, we’ll think of a way to finish him off first then face Onishi.” Since having decided to battle, the Elite Heavy Armored Warrior was not draggy about it as he stood steadily before Xing Shao holding onto his alloy shield, engaging all his defense skills.

The three people placed their first target on Feng Luo.

Even if Onishi had a big name and had great ability, without confirming whether he had Legendary weapons, it was definitely impossible for him to be able to one-shot any of them.

In comparison, Feng Luo whose general appearance was not too clearly known yet, had a Legendary sniper rifle, which made them feel that it was even more tricky.

However, there was a saying that change was the only constant, especially when the plan had already been heard by the target.

“Tch!”

Xing Shao’s Commander grade pet bat flying in the air suddenly pointed its head towards a spot in the air behind the three people, letting out a deafening screech.

“Earl, what’s going on?” The three people were in shock, and Xing Shao’s heart lurched.

The Commander grade pet bat had already flapped its hairy, blackish-red fleshy wings and flown towards that direction, completely not replying its owner Xiao Shao’s words.

It should be said that it could not reply; not every pet in the game had AI as great as 24K, as for most of the pets, being able to understand the owner’s simple battle commands was considered good enough.

This was one of the reasons that many expert players were unwilling to summon their pets first thing during some battles or even arena PK.

“Detection!”

The Commander bat could not reply and when the three people looked across with their naked eyes, there was nothing unusual at the spot it was flying towards.

“Beep!”

But Xing Shao felt that something was wrong and pointed the Recon Meter in that direction. On the Level 50 Recon Meter in his hand, a fast-blinking little yellow dot that was speedily fleeing from the bat Commander suddenly appeared.

“A Scout Beetle, an Elite monster? What’s going on?”

“Scout Beetle, Detection, Detection…why does this feel so familiar?”

The two Warriors looked at each other, then both of them thought of the Emulated Detection Spider that had just been sniped by Onishi. “Could this Scout Beetle be an Emulated Creature too?”

“Impossible. Where that NPC was, emulated flight creatures require Approval to reach at least a “friend” level before they can be bought. Earl, return, stop chasing!” Xing Shao immediately shook his head, shouting to his pet.

His Legendary submachine gun had not left the passageway; he shrunk back behind the Heavy Armored Warrior’s shield. The appearance of this Scout Beetle made him feel a little anxious.

This anxiousness was justified the moment the three people were distracted because of the Commander bat.

“Thud, thud, thud…”

Three small oval-shaped objects of slightly different colors were suddenly tossed up from the ninth floor to the tenth floor of the spiral staircase, rolling on the floor before landing right in front of the three people.

“F*ck, quick hide, shut your eyes!” In an instant, the three people thought of something, their faces in shock, and the Light Armored Warrior yelled fiercely.

It was already nightfall; because of the three voices sounding almost all at once, they had abounded in the narrow area up and down the passageway.

Flash grenade, smoke bomb, Impact Bullet; three special types of explosives exploding at once.

The intense white flash of light instantly shocked the three people’s visual senses first, then the specially-made smoke bomb instantly erupted huge amounts of white smoke, and after that the Impact Bullet made the smoke fill the entire area in an instant. In an instant, their circumstances were out of control.

“Damn it! Why do they have so many special types of explosives?” Xing Shao reflexively shut his eyes after feeling a stabbing pain in his eyes and had entered a “glared” state from the white light.

He hurriedly pointed his submachine gun in the direction of the downward passageway way at the tenth floor according to his memory and fired a string of bullets.

“Earl, attack!” At the same time, he shouted, summoning his pet which had already flown over 10 meters away.

The flash grenade and the smoke bomb indeed had an effect on players, but to bats who could rely on sound waves to locate themselves, they were clearly not too useful. Earl was not in too much of a panic.

“Tch!”

However, the Commander bat did not help in attacking as he had expected but let out a screech instead.

The doubled effect of the smoke bomb and flash grenade, they did not know what had happened to the Commander bat, but could hear it’s panicked and painful cry.

“Da, da, da…”

“-804, -885, -835…”

As expected by the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players, Onishi had come down from the tenth floor through the passageway.

Although Xing Shao had lost his sight, there were still three bullets that hit Onishi, the damage coefficients emerging were definitely very high considering the downward-pointing attack and Onishi’s top-notch equipment.

But it was only three shots.

Because Onishi had used standard tactical moves; once he entered the enveloped area of the smoke bomb, his speed surged to two times once again, his remaining bullets all cleared.

“Xing Shao, let’s retreat, downward!” The Heavy Armored Warrior yelled, blocking in front of Xing Shao.

Although the situation was sudden, he was an Elite player and had prepared another backup route long before.

Previously, the three people stood at the passageway staircase because they had considered that they would be able to retreat downward when the situation was not right.

“Okay!” Xing Shao’s initial self-confidence had now become panic, especially when only three bullets from his all-out continuous firing had hit Onishi, and when he heard his own pet’s crying from being continuously attacked and the prompts of HP loss.

He no longer persisted wanting to showdown with Onishi and that Sniper, but agreed to immediately retreat instead.

He was at the hindmost behind the Heavy Armored Warrior’s protection, and could turn and retreat straight downward, and so he quickly turned.

“Thud!”

Completely unexpectedly, he had only turned and walked a few steps when his head hit heavily on what he assumed to be a wall.
