Boom!

A loud earth-shattering explosion accompanied by a bluish-white energy ball with a radius of over ten meters devoured the trees and plants on top of the large boulder. The trees and vegetation, their roots as well as the earth they sat on top of, even the rocks underneath the earth were all blasted away by the explosion

“That was close!” Feng Luo looked relieved as he turned around to see the aftermath of the explosion caused by the energy core that the Hunter had thrown toward them. The explosion had completely obliterated a small portion of the large boulder.

It was a good thing that when he selected his sniping position, he always considered his escape route for when emergencies occurred. So this time, the instant the Hunter threw the energy core towards him, he quickly jumped behind the boulder.

Although the edge of the explosion still took out around 3,000 of his HP, it wasn’t much of a problem.

Of course, this was because the energy core of the Hunter was not a miniature nuclear reactor like the terminator in the movie; instead, it was a compressed liquified high-energy crystal. Although the power of the explosion was incredibly powerful, it wasn’t as devastating as one caused by a nuclear reactor exploding.

Cough, cough!

At that moment, Big Pineapple, who was laying on the ground not far away from Feng Luo, got up after coughing. Compared to Feng Luo, he looked much more miserable. Multiple parts of his alloy armor were damaged. The Level 42 rare shield that he obtained from earlier battles was more than 70% damaged. Big Pineapple had used it to block his body from behind, and its stats had decreased substantially!

“Motherf*cker, I almost got done in. Good thing I cast my ultimate skill and placed the shield behind me, otherwise, I might have really died!” Big Pineapple exclaimed. He felt a sense of lingering fear as he dusted off the sand on top of his body and head while laid on the shield that was now almost junk.

Compared to the fast-reacting Feng Luo who had jumped out of the way without any hesitation, Big Pineapple’s reaction was a little slower. That was why he absorbed most of the damage from the explosion. If it weren’t for his crazy defense, the shield, and his more than 15,000 HP, he wouldn’t have been able to survive the attack.

In fact, even with his three-layer defense, he lost around 15,000 HP, and due to his low HP, he actually went into the “Heavy Injury” condition. It was a good thing that the rare attribute of the Wrath of the Rock Lizard King ring that Feng Luo had given him earlier was, indeed, “Godlike.” Within a few seconds, his HP recovered, which was why he had the strength to get back up.

“Old Feng, you’re right again. This b*stard was way too strong. That self-destructing power is at least at the Commander grade. Even a normal Heavy Armor Warrior will find it tough to take that.”

Big Pineapple used a blood tonic on himself; then he picked up the alloy shield.

As the self-destruct explosion caused by the Hunter caused a huge commotion, it was likely that they had attracted the attention of others around them, so he had to recover his HP quickly!

“Normal Commander grade monsters don’t necessarily have this sort of power. The self-destruct seemed a little too powerful!” Feng Luo seemed a little doubtful.

Although generally, Commander grade monsters had the strength to kill low-HP professions in one hit, it was highly improbable that it would be able to instantly kill a Heavy Armor Warrior with a shield as well as all of their defense skills on.

The power of the Hunter’s self-destruct almost killed Big Pineapple with his shield and ultimate skill activated in one hit! So it seemed a little odd.

Moreover, the Hunter should only be Elite grade.

You’ve successfully killed A Hunter T-750 (Level 50, Elite).

Obtained the Big Escape mission kill points: 300.

Obtained Merit: Five. Obtained exemption authority: One

Feng Luo looked at the new system notification.

T-700

The name convinced him that the Hunters were connected to the terminator movie since the humanoid series of the terminator all began with the letter “T.” It was similar to the naming rule of the Tyrants in the “Resident Evil” missions.

Although the action of the Hunter earlier should be deemed as a “Suicide,” the kill points were awarded to him. 300 points in the pocket, which was enough to supplement his earlier spending on unlocking the Shield-breaking Energy Bullets and the two skills.

As for the “mysterious reward” that the black-uniformed officer mentioned earlier when killing the Hunters, could it be this “Exemption Authority?”

“Exemption, exemption from what?”

Feng Luo looked at it carefully and saw that it actually meant the authority to be exempted from a “Compulsory Mission” once, for example, the random position exposure on the map earlier. If one were to use the authority, one would be exempt from being exposed.

“This mysterious reward could be useful.”

Feng Luo stood up while carrying the Barrett and shouted to Big Pineapple whose HP was already half full. “Let’s go. We’ll check out that Hunter first.”

The two of them walked toward the forest from behind the boulder. Big Pineapple went first to scout with his shield raised. After over a dozen seconds he had ensured that there was no enemy around, and the two of them worked together to move the body of the T-750 Hunter to a spot in the forest where it was harder for them to be attacked.

“Old Feng, why did we bring this thing here?” Big Pineapple asked, confused.

“Autopsy!” As Feng Luo spoke, he had already brought out a dagger emanating a light red glow.

It shouldn’t be too hard to use this incredibly sharp “Hunters Tooth” Stiletto with C Grade material to dissect the tough metallic body of this Hunter.

Feng Luo was completely immersed in removing the damaged synthetic human skin from the T-750 Hunter’s body on the ground. Then, one by one, he took apart each of the components of the Hunter that he had been able to remove. In an instant, the ground had fingers, teeth, and even very realistic throat and heart parts scattered all over it.

Watching carefully, Big Pineapple was astonished.

“Yo, Old Feng. Looking at your incredibly calm expression and your incredibly familiar technique, you must be in the human dissection line of work in real life!”

“No!”

Feng Luo remained completely focused on “dissecting” the Hunter, not even leaving out the smallest of details.

In fact, the most useful thing about killing this T-750 Hunter wasn’t 300 kill points or the Exemption Authority reward. For Feng Luo, the biggest benefit was actually the chance to find the location of the Hunter’s control chip and energy core, and find the weaker parts in its body structure. Although mechanical monsters did not have lives, one could still damage the important parts to make them lose combat strength!

However, it’s probably best not to attack the location of the energy core. It might cause an explosion directly, so the focus should be on the control chip.

Feng Luo’s objective was clear.

“Hah, found it!”

Feng Luo spent some time trying to pry open a tightly sealed apparatus on the back of the Hunter. Once he did so, he found a thumb-sized silvery-white chip inside.

“Eh?”

Using the Hunters Tooth stiletto to pry the chip out, Feng Luo picked it up with his hands and discovered that the chip was actually considered a “Spoils of war” as it could be put in his backpack and brought away.

T-750 core control chip ? ?

Chip. Another chip. Moreover, it’s a chip that doesn’t display its stats. I probably won’t be as lucky as last time. Feng Luo laughed and put the silver chip inside his backpack before continuing his “dissection” operation.

Among the NPCs he knew, Master Roland knew a thing or two about chips while Lin was also a Chip Master. Perhaps they would know what the chip was for.

After over a dozen minutes, Feng Luo, who had dissected and analyzed most of the parts and structures of the Hunter and had memorized the info, stood up, picked up the Barrett and said to Big Pineapple beside him, “Yup. Although tough, it’s probably alright to try it on a Hunter!”
