Battle of Icewind Trail
"Roar~~~"
The Osteo Reaper roared, the heat-sensing grooves on both sides of its head trembled violently, and it stomped its limbs on the ground, constantly moving in a zigzag pattern in an attempt to avoid the bullets by moving sideways!
Unfortunately, this level of movement couldn't shake my aim at all. The crosshair of the Explosive Gun remained aimed at the head of the Osteo Reaper, and "bang bang bang" sounds of headshots dealing triple damage kept Headshot!
I used armor-piercing, large-caliber bullets, which dealt almost full damage. A full magazine of 40 bullets could deal 70,000-80,000 damage, while a level 35 Osteo Reaper only has 60,000 health.
So, the moment the magazine was emptied, with a "thud," the Osteo Reaper's head exploded, blasting him to death on his way to attack. The entire process of being killed didn't even take more than 10 seconds.
"Holy crap..."
Cai Cai hardened slightly. "Killing a Blue BOSS with just one magazine... that's a bit outrageous..."
"Really."
The fat man who was firing indiscriminately nearby nodded in agreement.
I smiled slightly and continued firing at the Devourers. Their heads were quite large, making Headshot easy; almost 3-5 bullets were enough to eliminate one. It felt amazing! The alien creatures in the snow forest were like easy prey, appearing and disappearing as quickly as they appeared. This leveling experience was simply unparalleled!
Two minutes later, the snow forest fell silent. A large number of Devourer corpses lay before us, converting into character experience and furnace experience for our group.
"Walk."
Carrying my Explosive Gun, I led the group around the woods and continued north. Everyone was busy loading bullets as they walked, except for me, who brazenly held onto my Explosive Gun, on guard.
This Automatic Loading Mini-Robot is really useful!
After clearing out more than a dozen groups of alien species in the wilderness, it was 11:00 a. m.
"Stop advancing!"
Cai Cai suddenly raised her hand, then looked ahead and said, "Look! There's a big blood-red dot on the map, heading this way! What do we do?!"
"Purple BOSS!"
My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly turned around to look around. Then I pointed to a stone wall not far away and said, "The mutants rarely appear alone. Let's defend ourselves with our backs against the stone wall. We mustn't get surrounded!"
"Walk!"
Everyone retreated and then stood still in a relatively narrow area, holding their guns and aiming into the distance!
"Roar~~~"
In the wilderness, the figures of devourers appeared one after another, all of them level 35 elites. Upon smelling the human scent, these aliens seemed to become very excited, their heads splitting into three-lobed mouthparts, looking quite terrifying, and then they surged forward like a tide!
In the forest, a gigantic figure stood, humanoid in shape, with an extremely bloated back covered in honeycomb-like proliferating tissue, and incredibly strong limbs covered in bone spurs protruding from gelatinous skin. Within its body, a green energy core could be faintly seen!
The Divider, Level 35, Purple BOSS!
"Damn it, another separatist!"
Cai Cai frowned and asked, "What should we do?"
"What else can we do but kill them!"
I frowned. "You guys keep the Devourer under control and don't lose ground. I'll hold off the Splitter when it comes up. Follow my orders. Once the Splitter starts splitting, focus fire to suppress its health and kill it while it's splitting."
"Good!"
The next second, everyone began firing rapidly.
I pulled out the Wind Whisperer and aimed directly at the Splitter in the distance. Every shot was Headshot. The Splitter roared and opened its three-lobed mouth, looking ferocious. The next second, it charged over with a massive number of Devourers, covering the entire mountainside. It looked just like a zombie siege!
"Holy crap, there are so many..." The fat man's scalp tingled.
Don't panic!
I'd switched to Submachine Gun and was aiming and Headshot the splitters 80 meters away. Meanwhile, I said in the Team Channel, "Our health is pretty high now, so we can take a few hits from the Devourer without a problem. Just manage your health, but be careful not to get devoured, or you'll lose a lot of health."
The next second, he switched his primary weapon to Explosive Gun, raised his hand and threw a golden dagger, which directly penetrated the body of the splitter. He then began to shoot the head with the Explosive Gun, and the sound of "bang bang bang" continued!
"Roar~~~"
The Splitter roared, its limbs scraping against the rocks, sparks flying everywhere. Its head split into three mouthparts, which it then opened wide and charged toward me!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the Explosive Charge!
His body pierced straight through the Splitter's body, and the last dozen or so bullets were poured into the back of his head. Then, he donned the Annihilation Rock Armor, switched his weapon to the Ride the Wind Sword, and Ground Spike Slash it towards the Splitter!
"Puff puff puff~~~"
Sword energy formed from condensed Yuan power continuously burst forth from the ground, piercing through the bodies of the aliens and generating astonishing damage numbers!
"4005!"
"3990!"
"4225!"
"4115!"
"3950!"
The uniform 250% damage almost instantly wiped out the dozen or so Devourers in the middle. As the Splitter charged back, I switched to the Explosive Gun again, instantly reloading and dodging the Splitter's attack with a Step Slash. Then, I aimed the Explosive Gun at its jaw and unleashed a series of Headshot!
The Splitter roared, and its bladed bone spikes swung back and slashed down!
"Clang~~~"
Sparks flew as bone spikes landed on the Lord's Shield. The heavy force transmitted through the shield directly knocked away 1200+ of my health, but this level of damage was really nothing to me with 25,000+ health.
He stepped back, locked onto a Devourer, and instantly unleashed Leaping Chop!
In the instant he killed the Devourer, he also created distance, using a series of zigzag movements to dodge the three-headed Devourer's Devouring skill. After switching magazines, he continued to lock onto the Splitter's head and unleashed a barrage of fire!
"Oh My God..."
Kou Mei, who was firing her gun, was stunned and said, "Boss's skills... are really amazing! So smooth and effortless, he's leading the Splitters around like a puppet."
"Isn't this exactly what we've been pursuing?"
Cai Cai said, "Not only are the attributes of the boss strong, but his individual skills are also top-notch, that has to be admitted."
As I aimed, I said in a deep voice, "You Firepower Specialist should also add a little agility. It'll be beneficial. Without agility, you simply can't operate the guns properly, and you'll be at a disadvantage when engaging in firefights with other players. Don't just keep adding strength and constitution; that makes you too cumbersome."
"Learn!"
The next moment, the splitter, which had been held back to near death, finally let out a roar. Then it stood still, its body surging with wind, and the honeycomb-like proliferating tissue on its back trembled continuously, about to split apart!
[Battle Notice: Please be aware that the Splitter is activating the skill Endless Split Lv8. The skill has a 5-second charge time!]
"Here we go!"
I quickly switched magazines and said in a deep voice, "Full firepower, take it down!"
The next moment, he emptied the remaining half of the bullets in the magazine, then drew the Ride the Wind Sword, instantly burning ten points of Essence Points. A chill ran down his right arm, and he cleaved the Splitter's body with Cold Star Piercing Bone strike!
"Sizzle~~~"
As snowflakes fell and frost spread, the Splitter's Endless Split skill was interrupted, and then it collapsed to the ground under the frenzied firepower of Cai Cai, Ruolin, and Fatty!
These days, killing Purple BOSS is a breeze for our team!
[Congratulations! You have defeated the Splitter (Purple BOSS) and obtained the item: BOSS Ability Crystal x1!]
[Battle Notification: You have defeated the "Splitter" (Purple BOSS), gaining 680,000 character experience points. The Essence Furnace extracted 340,000 Experience Points!]
"Done!"
I raised my Explosive Gun: "Keep going, wipe out all the Devourers!"
"Beat!"
With my arrival, the Devourers fell even faster. After about three minutes, no more Devourers rushed out of the forest, and another group of alien races was completely wiped out by us.
"Let's all open the treasure chests..."
Now comes the most exciting part. By this time, I had collected one purple Ability Crystal and three blue Ability Crystal, so I activated them one by one:
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Dimensional Expansion Crystal] (Expansion Space: 0.9 cubic meters)!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal], and obtained the following item: Character Experience +250,000!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the following items: Star Coins +4000!]
"Shit..."
Cai Cai said helplessly, "Three character experience points? I'm really impressed, holy crap!"
"Your face is too dark."
I laughed and said, "At least I got a 0.9 cubic meter Expansion Crystal."
"Expansion Crystal are great stuff..."
Kou Mei laughed and said, "The more of this kind of thing, the better."
Ruolin said, "My luck was pretty good too. I got a Tier 3 blue dagger, the Shadow Assassin's specialty weapon. It should sell for quite a bit of money."
"Yes, the one you opened was the best!"
I used the Expansion Crystal directly, and the Dimensional Storage Space reached 7.1 cubic meters. It's getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer to the size of storing a Dirt Bike!
"Brothers..."
At this moment, the fat man, who had been silent all along, said, "I got this from my purple Ability Crystal treasure chest, what do you guys think..."
He gently raised his hand, and a note appeared.
[Icewind Trail Map Guide]: After use, you can find and open the entrance to the hidden map "Icewind Trail".
"Holy crap, a hidden map?"
I exclaimed with delight, "Fatty, this thing can... Give it to me, I'll take you into the hidden map!"
"Okay!"
The fat man gave me the guide directly. After using it, sure enough, the guide to the Icewind Trail appeared in the mist. It wasn't too far from us; it should only take about ten minutes to walk.
"Walk!"
Soon after, we arrived at the Icewind Trail, a narrow path nestled in the crevices of icy mountains. As we approached, the mist dissipated, revealing a map to the world.
Let's go.
I stepped out, creating a ripple, and entered the path map.
Fatty, Ruolin, and the others also entered one by one.
[Map Hint: There are 5 players in the Icewind Trail, currently in a green state!]
Be careful.
Carrying Explosive Gun, I walked in front, with Cai Cai in the middle Ruolin at the rear.
They hadn't walked far down the path when suddenly, a series of announcements from the map began to blare out—
[Map Hint: There are 8 players in total within the Icewind Trail, currently in a green state!]
[Map Hint: There are currently 14 players in the Icewind Trail, which is crowded. All monster attributes have been increased by 40%!]
[Map Hint: There are currently 23 players in the Icewind Trail, which is crowded. All monster attributes have been increased by 130%!]
"Someone has come in!"
Ruolin frowned and quickly turned around.
At the same time, a gunshot rang out, and the fat man swayed slightly as blood spurted from between his eyebrows—he had been Headshot!
[Team Notice: Please be aware that player "One Blade Into Soul" dealt 1506 damage to team member "Chasing Light" using the Wind Whisperer "Wind Whisperer"!]
"One Blade Into Soul!"
I suddenly shouted into the star chart, "Are you Ragnarok never going to stop?"
The moment he spoke, he pulled out the Lord's Shield and slammed it onto the ground in front of him. The next second, countless bullets turned into sparks and splashed onto the surface of the shield, while several RPG Rocket trailed fiery red tails as they hurtled through the air!
