PK in the Wilderness
A small pickup truck weaved erratically along the beach, unleashing a barrage of fire from its cargo bed. The Sonic Beast behind it couldn't reach it, and in less than twenty minutes, all six Sonic Beast fell to the ground, turning into a wealth of Experience Points and BOSS Ability Crystal.
"Stop the car! Kill the Devourer!"
After the fat man slammed on the brakes, the three of us in the back fired in quick succession, taking down the few remaining Devourers that were chasing after us.
"Cool!"
Cai Cai laughed, "Six Ability Crystal... Awesome!"
"Let's open the box."
I laughed heartily, "The harvest season has arrived!"
So everyone opened the box together, the clinking and jingling sounds filling the air, but the result was increasingly disheartening.
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the following item: Star Coins x 3000!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Dimensional Expansion Crystal] (Expansion Space: 0.4 cubic meters)!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the following items: [Explosive Grenade] x4!]
Six chests, one Star Coins, two Experience Points, two Expansion Crystal, and one Explosive Grenade. Although they were all useful, it was a pity that none of the most valuable equipment dropped.
The drop rate for equipment in <Star Abyss> is so low that the prices of various equipment remain high. Currently, the price of second-tier Blue Equipment is generally over 50,000. In addition, weapons are rare, and even second-tier green weapons are not cheap. Unfortunately, my six treasure chests were a waste!
The two Expansion Crystal were used up, instantly Dimensional Storage Space to 4.4 cubic meters!
All four Explosive Grenade were added to the ammunition reserve. Overall, the gains were decent; at least my Experience Points were heading straight for level 30, which is also my goal!
Once I reach level 30 and complete the breakthrough quest, I'll instantly receive three pieces of Tier 3 purple equipment, which will probably make my Combat Power explode. Besides, after reaching Tier 3, my main skills can be upgraded again, and the resulting boost will be unimaginable.
"Get on the bus, let's continue!"
The pickup truck moved slowly forward as we began our search for our next target.
The beach was deserted, perhaps because it was too dangerous. Very few players came to this area to level up; it seemed like there were only the five of us from beginning to end.
"Watch out, there seems to be something over there!"
Cai Cai pointed towards the shore, and saw that after the tide receded, figures emerged from the sand, each with a round, hard shell on its back and four legs crawling very fast.
"Is it a sea turtle?"
Kou Mei narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Have you ever had turtle soup?"
"..."
Who the hell has ever eaten this? Who's like her, all they know is eating!
"No, it doesn't seem to be a sea turtle."
Suddenly, I felt a chill. These sea turtles were crawling at an unusually fast speed, faster than a human jogging. Moreover, their shells were covered with streaks of blood-red veins, and even their heads were covered with all sorts of creepy creatures!
The next moment, I captured the attributes of the turtle at the very front and shared them directly in the Team Channel.
[Turtle Symbiote] (Elite)
Level: 30
Attack: 180-350
Defense: 240
Qi and Blood: 6000
Skills: [Impact Lv6] [Entangle Lv6] [Iron Armor Lv6]
Details: This is a type of sea turtle parasitized by a different species. These parasites possess powerful mutated abilities, but once the turtle's flesh and blood are completely consumed, the parasitic species will abandon it and seek a new host!
"Hiss~~~"
The mutated sea turtle's head suddenly split open, transforming into a mouthpart filled with four sharp teeth!
It looks a bit creepy, and it even makes you feel a chill in your groin!
"Holy shit..."
Cai Cai shuddered and said, "Kou Mei, do you still want to drink turtle soup?"
"I never want to drink it again in my life." Kou Mei said, speechless.
"Let's get started."
I switched my primary weapon to the Hellfire Explosive Gun, then equipped it with Armor-piercing Round, saying, "Level 30 elite monsters, the more the merrier. We're here to level up anyway. These monsters have low attack, high defense, and high health, perfect for us to level up safely."
As I spoke, I looked at the fat man and said, "Don't be stingy with bullets, just aim and start firing. We need to improve our shooting skills quickly."
"Learn!"
So, we went all out on the sand table, taking down every mutated sea turtle that crawled up from the sea, and entered a very stable and safe leveling-up phase.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
I glanced at my Experience Points; I could reach level 30 in two more hours of practice. Of course, if I could encounter a boss or something, that would be even better.
"Hiss~~~"
Ten minutes later, a dense array of red dots appeared on the western side of the large map.
"Watch out, a shipment has arrived!"
I retreated Explosive Gun in hand, and said in a low voice, "Leave the mutated turtle area and get backed by the Pikachu for defense. It's most likely an alien species!"
Sure enough, countless four-limbed creatures burst forth from the dense jungle; they were Tier 1 alien Licker, all level 30 elite monsters. The leader of the Licker let out a long hiss, and the alien horde surged forward like a tide.
"Suppressive firepower!"
There's not much to say. With the firepower of our squad, suppressing the Tier 1 aliens shouldn't be a problem at all.
This alien attack was short-lived. After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the group of Licker retreated, seemingly in fear of something, only daring to watch from afar.
"What the heck?"
Cai Cai frowned, looking into the distance. "I have a bad feeling. Do you guys feel the same way?"
"Have!"
The fat guy and I nodded at the same time.
The next moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the jungle and sped across the beach, stopping a few dozen meters away from us. It was a humanoid mutant with a slightly bloated body. Its skin was translucent and gelatinous, and we could even see the green energy core inside its body. Its limbs were covered with bone spurs, and its head suddenly opened, splitting into a terrifying three-lobed mouth!
The moment his mouthparts were revealed, his back trembled and buzzed, and patches of honeycomb-like proliferating tissue appeared.
This thing is definitely not an ordinary mutant!
"Holy crap..."
Cai Cai took a deep breath.
"So..."
The fat man was stunned. "This thing... you big shots have never seen it before?"
"Never seen it before."
Zhang Ruolin and I both shook our heads.
Just then, the other party walked towards us, and strands of text and data appeared above its head. It was indeed a different kind of life form that we had never seen before.
[The Fission] (Purple BOSS)
Level: 30
Attack: 800-1050
Defense: 200
Qi and Blood: 400,000
Skills: [Devour Lv8] [Strangle Lv8] [Endless Split Lv8]
Details: The Splitter is a mutant among the Xenomorphs. They possess powerful life energy and store a large number of embryos on their backs. Once they suffer a fatal attack, they will activate the embryos, causing them to split into multiple smaller individuals. These smaller individuals can grow rapidly by consuming organic matter, so unless the main body and all the embryos can be destroyed instantly, it will be very difficult to subdue them!
"Holy crap, a purple mutant..."
Cai Cai frowned and said, "It's a little difficult to handle."
"Prepare for battle!"
I quickly aimed my Explosive Gun at the splitter and said in the Team Channel, "The splitter moves fast, and there are a lot of Licker around. We can't escape it. We have to take it down! Once we've taken it down, we'll head back. This place is too dangerous. I need to catch my breath."
"Everything needs to take its time..."
The fat man swallowed hard, his face pale.
"Ding Han, how do we fight?" Ruolin asked.
"Strike first, unleash full firepower!"
"Become!"
The next second, Zhang Ruolin, holding her shield, unleashed Explosive Charge, stunning the splitter in place!
I didn't waste her control skill. I immediately threw the Tian Gong Kai Wu at the Splitter's head, followed by a headshot with Explosive Gun. Armor-piercing Round pierced the Splitter's mouth and hit its brains, causing damage numbers to rise into the air—quite impressive!
"1524!"
"1509!"
"3048!"
"1473!"
"1515!"
The massive damage inflicted in an instant caused the Splitter to roar continuously, its powerful arms suddenly sweeping across and slamming into Zhang Ruolin's shield with a series of clangs, sending her staggering backward along the beach.
"Increase firepower!"
With a low shout, I took advantage of the gap while switching magazines to close the distance and instantly swung the Legion Blade. A sudden chill ran through my arm as my Yuan Power transformed into a wisp of starlight and Cosmic Frost that surged into the blade, and with a "thud," it struck the opponent's body!
"2142!"
"Sizzle~~~"
After the massive damage numbers appeared, endless frost spread, instantly freezing the Splitter's enormous body in place!
He stepped back, Explosive Gun, aiming at the opponent's head and spraying bullets!
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
Cai Cai emptied two magazines in a row, and with the output from Kou Mei and Fatty, we reduced the Splitter's health by more than 30% in an instant!
Compared to the Purple BOSS in Power Armor, the Splitter is undeniably a bit too fragile.
"Don't hesitate, unleash your full power!"
Just as the Splitter clamped its hands on the shield and opened its mouth to swallow Ruolin whole, I immediately unleashed an Explosive Charge out, interrupting the BOSS's action. At the same time, I Annihilation Rock Armor, taking the damage this time!
The Explosive Gun fired continuously, and the Annihilation Rock Armor greatly reduced the damage. Although the Splitter was powerful, it was left with very low health after reducing my health bar to 70%!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~"
Suddenly, it retreated dozens of meters, took hold of the spot, and its whole body was enveloped in a blood-red light!
[Battle Notice: Please be aware that the Splitter is activating the skill Endless Split Lv8. The skill has a 5-second charge time!]
"Attack quickly! Don't let it split apart! Take it down in one fell swoop!"
With my loud command, everyone unleashed a furious barrage of firepower.
"Bang!"
In the midst of the fierce battle, a muffled sound suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, Kou Mei staggered back several steps, a bloody hole appearing on her forehead, and a large damage number soared into the air!
"1245!"
It's Headshot damage!
[Team Notice: Please note that player [Lei Yan] has dealt 1245 damage to team member [What are you eating? Give me a bite too] using [Wind Whisperer]!]
