On the hill.

Li Xiaonian gave Lang Burag a headshot and then fired a shot at Xiaolang, but as a former Special Forces soldier, Xiaolang sensed it and dodged the bullet.

“Bah, lucky you.” Li Xiaonian swore quietly, aiming at Xiaolang again, but unfortunately, Xiaolang had already hidden behind the rock.

In order to not waste time, Li Xiaonian changed his target and locked on the giant players in the battle against the boss.

Puff!

A gentle gunshot rang out.

Ding…

System: “You successfully killed the target, merit +1.”

[Sea King Sniper Rifle] was a rare energy firearm, not a conventional sniper rifle. When the gun was fired, there was no sound of gunpowder explosion, so the gunshot was almost inaudible.

After this shot, Li Xiaonian continued to target the other giant players in the battle. His goal was clear, which was to mess up the opponent’s formation and maximize losses for the Wolf Walk Guild.

As for the enemies who were charging up at him?

The sniper rifle had a full range of 2,000 meters, and the gunshots were almost inaudible. It would take them a lot of time to find where he was hiding. Besides, even if they found him quickly enough, so what? He was no longer a first-level rookie player, so he was not afraid of them even though they outnumbered him. If they wanted to get him, their number would have to increase at least five or six times.

Puff!

System: “You successfully killed the target, merit +1.”

Once again successfully killing the target, Li Xiaonian slightly adjusted the muzzle, aiming at the next target and thinking with pity: “It’s a pity that the Sea King Sniper Rifle takes 6 seconds to cool down. Otherwise, the shooting speed could be even faster.”

During the six-second cooldown time, Li Xiaonian turned to look at the air beside him, saying gently, “Hey, why don’t you live stream the battle to Tianyu? I think he must be very excited at the news that Lang Burang was killed by me.”

Gu Tong, who was hiding nearby, paused for a moment and then gave Li Xiaonian a grateful look.

He was not a fool. He knew Li Xiaonian was giving him a chance to get closer to Tianyu.

Keeping this favor in mind, Gu Tong whispered, “Okay.”

The other side.

When the players of the Wolf Walk Guild saw the giant players fighting against the boss die one after another, they were in a great uproar.

“Fuck, now the sniper’s target is us.”

“Shit, this is insane! How could the damage the sniper caused be so horrible? I remember my friend’s HP is as high as 231 points, but he was killed with a single shot!”

Worried that he would be killed, a giant player looked at Xiaolang. “Captain, shall we retreat? We can’t go on like this.”

All terrified, the giant players were severely distracted, so when the boss jumped to launch another attack, none of them were in the mood to save their teammates, and thus dozens of low-defense players were instantly killed.

Seeing his team suffer heavy losses, Xiaolang was exasperated. And he found he was caught in a dilemma.

If they retreated now, all their previous efforts were wasted, but if not, the team would suffer even heavier losses.

He raised his head and glanced at hundreds of meters away, but still didn’t find any trace of the sniper. He gritted his teeth and said, “Tianhe, you take command of the team in my place, lure the boss to the bottom of the mine, and try to kill it there.” With that, Xiaolang waved his arm. “All the members of the third team, follow me.”

Xiaolang took the lead to run forward, determined to dig out the sniper and kill him.

For the sake of safety, he didn’t act recklessly. Knowing that he was the first target of the sniper, he held a shield and led the team to sprint in the direction of Li Xiaonian.

Ding…

System: “You successfully killed the target, merit +1.”

System: “You successfully killed the target, merit +1.”

System: “You successfully killed the target, merit +1.”

Li Xiaonian killed three more giant players. Then, he was stunned to find that the opponent had worked out a strategy against him, which was to lure the boss into a deep pit and fight it over there so that he could no longer snipe at them.

Helpless, Li Xiaonian could only focus on the players who came to search for him.

Puff!

System: “You successfully killed the target, merit +1.”

An evolva was easily solved by Li Xiaonian.

Seeing this, Xiaolang frowned and shouted coldly, “The giants, hold up the shields, and everyone else, hide behind the giants. Now charge forward with me.”

Clatter~

The team was well-trained. Hardly had Xiaolang’s voice stopped when the players lined up and charged forward, led by shield-holding giants.

With giants protecting them in front, everyone felt a lot more at ease.

Undoubtedly, Xiaolang had excellent military expertise. Through the trajectories of two shots, he immediately locked on the hilltop where Li Xiaonian was hiding. Gnashing his teeth, he shouted, “Everyone, follow me, that bastard is over there.”

A gunner among the crowd, his eyes glowing green, swept the hillside ahead with his gaze.

Soon, he found Li Xiaonian’s figure and shouted excitedly, “Captain, I saw him with Eagle Eye Technique. He’s on the top of the hill ahead. It’s June. He is lying on the ground, holding what looked like a high-level sniper rifle.”

“…”

Looking at the formation of the opponent and then spotting Xiaolang’s figure in the team, Li Xiaonian frowned and muttered: “If they’re just a heap of loose sand, I’m sure I can kill them all, but under Xiaolang’s command, they’re immediately banded together like strands of a rope. Now it’s not that easy to solve them. Fine, there’ll be plenty of chances to solve them in the future. I don’t need to risk confronting them now.”

After figuring it out, Li Xiaonian put away the sniper rifle and jumped into the canyon river.

Gu Tong quickly followed him, and after helping Li Xiaonian turn invisible, he asked, “Where are we going now?”

“Let’s continue to go upstream, find a place with the most players and hunt the Wolf Walk players. Don’t forget to pick up the equipment and props they drop after I kill them. The spoils will be split 50-50, OK?”

He killed a lot of players just now, many of whom dropped equipment, but unfortunately, he couldn’t pick it up. This was really a waste.

“…”

Gu Tong’s face stiffened. “I don’t think it’s a good idea. Not all Wolf Walk players are bad guys. If you kill them once, their HP will be permanently reduced by one point. If you irritate everyone, aren’t you afraid that they’ll try to kill you at all costs? It seems that you have the upper hand now, but the Wolf Walk Guild could control the Skyfire Base for nearly a year, they can’t be easy to deal with.”

Li Xiaonian smiled and explained, “That’s what war is all about. Be it good or bad guys, as long as they’re not on our side, it’s perfectly justifiable to kill them. When you leave the Skyfire Base, you’ll find out that what I plan to do is very common.”

After a pause, he continued, “I admit that the Wolf Walk Guild is strong, but their ability has a limit. Not everyone is as persistent as you, who can spend more than a year at a novice base. Be confident, you are very strong. Within the novice base, few players can defeat you. With your protection, unless the Wolf Walk Guild hires NPCs to deal with us, it’s almost impossible for them to catch us.”

“What if they really do it?”

Li Xiaonian shrugged and replied very positively. “NPCs may help them, but definitely not now. Lang Burang is very arrogant. He’ll never ask an NPC for help unless he suffers a loss he can’t bear. Besides, the prices to be paid will be high, very high, so high that even the Wolf Walk Guild can hardly afford.”

Gu Tong was surprised. “Are you sure you want to corner them? Aren’t you afraid that they do hire NPCs to catch you?”

Li Xiaonian smiled mysteriously. “Don’t worry. I am not a brainless person. I have a way to deal with it.”

Before driving the Wolf Walk Guild mad, he will have taken the Earth Dragon Minecart. At that time, no matter how strong the NPCs were, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

Besides, he hunted and killed the Wolf Walk players for a purpose, which was to mess up the whole novice base, and when all the Wolf Walk players were busy hunting him, he could sneak into the Discarded Mine and dig the [Earth Dragon Minecart] out.

The resurrection spot of Skyfire Base.

Once a player died, it would take him half an hour to log in again. Of course, his HP would be permanently reduced by one point. No one could escape this punishment.

Lang Burang walked out of the resurrection spot with a gloomy look.

Walking out with him were other resurrected members of the guild.

Lang Burang asked the last resurrected player, “How was it going over there?”

The giant player looked helpless but still answered respectfully, “Vice-president, after your death, the snipers began to snipe our giant players, paralyzing our fight against the quartz monster. Many players were killed by the sniper, but even more by the boss. Captain Xiaolang had already gone after the sniper himself. But we don’t know what the final result is.”

“Hm.” Lang Burang grunted and sent a message to Xiaolang, asking, “Have you killed the sniper? Who the hell killed me?!”

At this time, Xiaolang was busy searching for Li Xiaonian. Reading the message, he truthfully replied, “The sniper is June. He escaped from the canyon river. We’re searching for him. Fortunately, we’ve successfully killed the boss.”

The culprit was Li Xiaonian.

Lang Burang’s face instantly turned ferocious.

“Goddamned it! How dare this little punk provoke me over and over again!!!”

Then noticing there were guild members around him, Lang Burang hurriedly suppressed his rage and posted a notice on the guild channel, “Everyone, drop what you’re doing, and the captains, organize your men. From now on, we’re going to start a blanket search for June. Anyone who kills June and brings back his body will be rewarded with 1000 gold coins, plus a weapon in the guild warehouse of his choice. In addition, anyone who finds the trace of June will be rewarded with 200 gold coins.”

This time, he increased the bounty price tenfold, which showed how mad he was at Li Xiaonian.

As soon as the notice was published,

Lang Burang immediately received a message from a captain. “Vice-President, we were sniped by an unknown enemy. Five of my men have died, and I am the only survivor. I’m calling for reinforcements.”

Needless to guess, it must be June.

Lang Burang immediately asked, “What is your area?”

Unfortunately, as soon as his message was sent, the chat window turned grey, which meant that the captain had been killed, and Lang Burang couldn’t get the first-hand information within half an hour.

“Fuck!” Lang Burang cursed in rage, punching the wall hard.

His actions caused the surrounding players to retreat half a step in fright.

Is this guy our gracious vice-president? Why does he give such a scary look?
