Chapter 272: An Extremely Dangerous Enemy!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“These Hunters actually can still self-destruct—and with such powerful force!”
After the explosion energy had completely disappeared, Phoenix stood up from behind a tree, her fiery red armor heavily stained with dirt. Gazing at the center of the forest, where a slight crater of about 10 meters in circumference had formed on the ground in an empty area, she could not help but feel a little shocked by the power of the explosion!
“But... these two really slew this Hunter. And they did it as if didn’t result in much of a loss!”
At the same time, Phoenix could not hide her surprise. She had personally witnessed the attack power and strength of Hunters while fleeing before this, but Big Pineapple had actually been able to withstand it for a long time. Plus, his HP had not fallen much—his defense was simply rad!
Just as rad was Feng Luo’s shooting. He was able to consecutively hit the same spot even in such a dimly lit environment, and without a single miss throughout the whole process.
Their cooperation was full of mutual understanding, allowing them to lure the Hunter to its death! No wonder the two were able to slay not just one Hunter before; against such ability and mutual understanding, unless the Hunter had firearms on hand, it would truly taste what it meant to give up its life!
“He also has the Scout Beetle vision. If not, attempting to slay this Hunter would probably still require the spending of some effort.”
However, Feng Luo himself did not think that this Hunter had “given up” its life. If not for the complement of the Scout Beetle vision, even with his strengthened sight, the Barrett’s sniper scope night vision capability alone wouldn’t have been enough. It would have been impossible to maintain such a high rate of precision in such an environment!
The ability of these T-750s was very strong indeed. However, they were still robotic monsters, after all, so their adaptability in combat was not up to that of players. Plus, they had weaknesses that could be targeted!
“Old Feng, I’ve taken this Hunter’s points, but I don’t want that chip. You take it!” Big Pineapple shouted to Feng Luo, giving the points for this Hunter straight to Feng Luo.
“Mm...” Feng Luo nodded. He took out the “Hunter’s Tooth” dagger from his backpack and walked in the direction of the T-750’s corpse.
After taking just two steps, his face suddenly changed. His eyes, shining brightly under the moonlight, turned toward behind the Hunter as a thought suddenly occurred to him.
“What’s up?” Phoenix asked with a doubtful face.
“A Bladed Beetle has been killed!” Feng Luo said with his forehead creased.
Just a moment ago, 24K had told him via mental link that contact with a Bladed Beetle he had dispatched to patrol the outer surroundings had been lost!
“Bladed Beetle?”
Phoenix knew nothing about Feng Luo’s pets and thus didn’t understand what Feng Luo was saying.
“Don’t tell me...” Big Pineapple was stone-faced as he instantly picked up his alloy shield, which he had already put down.
The Elite Scout beetle in the air had already flown speedily towards that direction. Feng Luo’s forehead was still creased as he turned to Phoenix and asked, “Number 9, besides this Hunter, were there any others hunting you?”
“Yes... There’s a rebel Earth Manipulator. He wanted to follow behind this Hunter to freeload,” Phoenix said, staring at Feng Luo. “Humph! Watch me... No, I should’ve already shaken him off!”
“Oh, it definitely is that guy who has caught up,” said Big Pineapple, already showing off loudly. “Hey, an over Level 40 Elite monster really has balls. I’d be able to slay it easily even with my second profession activated—”
“Watch out, he’s coming!” said Feng Luo.
He hadn’t even finished speaking before he turned the Barrett in his hands in another direction.
“Certainly not low on alertness!”
Just then, a tall, middle-aged NPC, standing at a height of more than two meters and built like a Hunter, with a long scar on his face, appeared. His right hand carried a uniquely designed alloy shield dripping with red blood and green beetle goo as he walked slowly out of the dark forest where Feng Luo had aimed his Barrett!
Just then, with his eyes shining with a faint green glow, a low voice came out from his mouth.
“A rebel beast warrior!”
Seeing those “signature” green-glowing eyes, the three already recognized his identity.
“Didn’t you say it was an Earth Manipulator? How has it become a Heavy Armor Warrior?” Seeing the face of this humanoid silhouette—which was a little slow, like himself—Big Pineapple said with a relaxed smile, “But no matter. Even if it’s an Earth Manipulator plus a Heavy Armor Warrior, there’s no threat at all. Hehe! It’s here to bless us with points either way!”
Indeed, even if there had been an accompanying Fire Manipulator, there would not have been much of a problem, given Big Pineapple and Feng Luo’s combined capabilities—let alone a Heavy Armor Warrior with not much attack power.
“Something’s wrong!” said Feng Luo. “This person has a dangerous feel to him. His eyes are different than those of normal rebel beast warriors!”
Feng Luo stared at the scarred middle-aged NPC with calm eyes, unlike the irritability of previous rebel beast warriors. His expression turned grave.
This rebel beast warrior exuded a sense of hidden danger. Such “senses” in the game were actually sensations specially created by the system, arisen from stimulating players’ nerves as a means of representing unusual things. For example, this occurred when a Manipulator’s Level 40 move was unleashed or before a Boss showed itself!
Even though this rebel beast warrior’s sense of “danger” was very weak, it was actually highly possible that this was because the system did not want to prompt players so obviously. In the next moment, when this knife-scarred beast warrior took action, it was possible that his danger sense would “explode”!
“Hey, if he’s here to bless us with points, we can’t ignore it!”
In contrast, the loud Big Pineapple didn’t feel this at all. He even had a head start in taking action already! He raised the reddish-black alloy shield in his hand, engaged the “Shield Bash Charge” skill, its cooldown having already completed, and charged toward the knife-scarred, middle-aged “beast warrior” less than 20 meters away!
Even though the distance between them was less than 20 meters, due to the huge piece of land flattened by the energy explosion, Big Pineapple’s Charge was almost in a straight line! Hence, in merely a second, his speed rose to its peak, and the shield in his hand accumulated a wave of explosive energy!
“Hm?”
The calm and composed eyes of the knife-scarred-faced beast warrior moved slightly, as if a little interested in this skill of Big Pineapple’s, but his body still stood motionlessly rooted to the spot. All he did was effortlessly raise the alloy shield in his hand in front of him.
“Hey!”
Big Pineapple, who had already charged to his side, wore a look of surprise on his face. The opponent actually did not dodge—this was simply stupendous! Everyone knew that this move was easy to dodge!
You actually dare to take me on? Big Pineapple thought confidently. Watch me knock you to the other side of the world!
Gong!
The two huge alloy shields struck hard against each other, producing a low clashing sound.
Consequently, the scarred beast warrior’s body did not move an inch, and the shield in his hand showed no movement at all. Only a “−103” white coefficient appeared above his head!
Big Pineapple, on the other hand, had been sent staggering backward a few steps by the force of the rebound, and a “−298” damage coefficient appeared above his head!
“What?!” Big Pineapple yelled in disbelief.
This move of his had cracked open the brain of the giant python on Silverleaf Island before. Plus, the damage of this kind of straight-line charge technically should have been well above 1,500, yet the damage dealt to this enemy was less than one-tenth! Furthermore, he had been reduced by almost 300 HP!
What was this sickening defense or Rare skill?
