Thunder God Island
"Yuening is a very complex place."
The fat man sat on the edge of the overpass, grinning, and said, "The internal struggles are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us. Yue Ning Group has two subsidiaries, Yue Ning Energy and Yue Ning Power. These two subsidiaries are the foundation of Yuening. This incident at Yue Ning Energy might be the work of a competitor, or it might be something done by their own people. In short, we outsiders definitely can't see through it."
"Yeah, let's have a drink later and chat while we drink."
"Okay, whatever you say!"
I ate out with Fatty until after 8 p. m. I can't hold my liquor, so I didn't dare to drink too much.
"Oh, right."
The fat man lowered his voice and said, "The local players in Tengshan City want to organize an event to see if any players from other places are coming back to Tengshan, to organize a social gathering or something. I heard they've even invited a lot of young ladies."
"Is this some kind of social gathering or a party?" I rolled my eyes at him.
Hahaha~~~
The fat man said, "I was just asking, do you want to go?"
"I'm not going."
"Fine, if you're not going, I'm not going either. Girls and all that stuff are boring now!"
I nodded without saying anything.
In the game <Star Abyss>, as long as players aren't too lazy, they can generally make a fortune. After all, players can earn money very quickly; a lucky hunting trip can bring in hundreds of thousands of coins, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Therefore, many players adhere to the philosophy of "great power belongs to oneself" and live a very carefree life, with yachts and young models being commonplace for them.
But I think it's best not to get too cocky when you're doing well, because once you do, you're not far from crashing down, and there are bloody lessons to be learned from that.
I returned home around nine o'clock at night.
Old Ding sat in the living room and asked, "Ding Han, where is Miss Lin?"
"She had to leave because of something at the company," I said.
"Oh..."
Old Ding didn't ask any further questions, but he changed the subject. "Ding Ying let slip at lunch at home that Xiao Lin is actually the CEO of Yue Ning Energy, the company she works for. Is that true?"
I shuddered. You, Ding Ying, you really can't keep a secret!
However, Ding Ying is just a young girl who has just entered society, while Old Ding is an associate professor who has weathered decades of storms. Naturally, he is far more insightful in observing people and situations than she is. It would not be surprising if Ding Ying were to slip up even slightly and be questioned about the truth.
"Um."
I nodded. "Yue Ning Energy ran into trouble, so Xiaoying flew to LN City in the Northwest early this morning to deal with the incident. She left in such a hurry that she didn't tell you."
"Your Second Uncle and Second Aunt were both shocked when they heard the news."
Old Ding said, "Son, we're just an ordinary family with such a big class difference. Have you thought about how you're going to get along with Miss Lin?"
"Dad, do my second Second Uncle Second Aunt think I'm not good enough for Xiaoying?"
"I don't think my son is unworthy of anyone."
Old Ding's answer was irrelevant.
By then, I was quite drunk, so I didn't talk much and went straight back to my room to rest.
Late at night, in the team chat channel.
Happy New Year everyone!
Ruolin offered her blessings again, and then smiled knowingly, "Did someone have a good time taking Ying'er home for the New Year?"
It seems she only knew that Lin Qingying accompanied me to Tengshan, but didn't notice the matter of Yue Ning Energy.
"Good."
I asked, "Everyone seems so energetic, are we planning some kind of event after the New Year?"
"Of course, of course!"
Cai Cai said, "We have to start this event! I haven't even reached level five yet!"
Fey Courtier said, "Why don't we hold off on going to the wilderness to gain experience? How about we have a get-together and a meal after the New Year?"
"Can."
I nodded. "What do you say when I arrive in Huaining on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"
The fat man said, "Then I'll hitch a ride with Ding Han. I'll arrive on the third day of the Lunar New Year too."
"How about a get-together and dinner on the third day of the Lunar New Year?" Ruolin asked. "Is that alright?"
In an instant, Kou Mei, Bingzi, and the others nodded in agreement, without any objection.
Time flies, and before we knew it, we were in the third year of junior high.
Early in the morning, I got up and went into the guest room. Sure enough, Lin Qingying had left in a hurry and hadn't had time to pack up a lot of cosmetics and clothes, so I put them all into my Dimensional Storage Space. Then, the fat guy knocked on the door early in the morning.
"Xiao Wei's here..." Old Ding said with a smile, "Let's have breakfast together later."
"Okay, Uncle, I'm just here for breakfast." He sat down casually.
I gave the fat man a disdainful look, and he gave me an even more grotesque smile.
Afterwards, we ate the dumplings that Dad cooked. Old Ding came downstairs to see us off and put some cured meat and dried salted fish in the trunk.
"Tsk tsk!"
The fat man exclaimed excitedly, "Holy crap, Bentley Flying Spur... my dream car! I'll drive the first half of the way, I absolutely have to drive it!"
"Okay, you can drive the whole way without any problem!"
I tried my best!
He sat happily in the driver's seat. I said goodbye to Old Ding, "Dad, we're leaving. You should go upstairs quickly, it's cold downstairs."
Drive slowly on the road!
Old Ding looked down at us through the car window. "If you're tired, pull into a service area and rest. Don't drive for long periods; it's easy to get distracted."
"Yes, I know."
I nodded, and the fat man slowly drove the car out of the residential area.
In the rearview mirror, Old Ding looked very thin, and his body was becoming increasingly hunched. He was about to transform from the strong and healthy father I knew into a withered old man.
It can speed along without any problem.
Around 10 a. m., Lin Qingying sent a message: "The matter at Yue Ning Energy has been handed over to someone else. My flight is at noon, and I'll land in Huaining City around 3 p. m. You don't need to pick me up. The company has arranged a car. I need to go to the company for a meeting before I can go home. Have you gone home yet?"
"Enter Huaining City immediately."
I replied, "Are you going home for dinner tonight?"
"Yeah, I'm a little tired."
"But I have dinner plans with Ruolin, Cai Cai, and Fatty tonight. I've already made them. How about this, I'll cook some food for you, and I'll leave after you get home."
"Good."
Lin Qingying sent a nodding emoji. "I want to eat garlic cloves with salted fish..."
"Learn."
Return to the residential area.
Fatty and I originally planned to have lunch at Couple's Kitchen, but it turned out they were closed for the Chinese New Year. Almost all the shops outside were also closed for the holiday, so we had no choice but to eat at KFC.
In the afternoon, I drove to the supermarket to buy groceries.
I started preparing ingredients at 3 o'clock, multitasking while cooking. I was also thinking about the game. I'm currently level 46, which is far from enough. I need to reach level 50 as soon as possible and upgrade the Essence Furnace to level 50 as well. That way, my character's basic stats will be maximized.
Furthermore, we already encountered Cyan BOSS in the last battle, which means that orange equipment is not top-tier in version 2.0 "Demon Realm Rift". In the long run ahead, my goal will be to collect a full set of S6 cyan equipment before version 3.0 "Insectoid Uprising" goes live. This way, I can gain a combat advantage in the Insectoid Uprising version, snowball my advantage, and always maintain my strength among the top in the National Server!
"Drop!"
A message from Milo: "Ding Han, Xiao Bei finally removed me from her blacklist. I just chatted with her. Is it convenient to have a voice call now?"
I initiated a voice call and asked after the call connected, "Why did she block you too?"
"With her spoiled princess temper, who can handle her?"
Milo said helplessly, "You have to figure things out for yourself. Xiao Bei had high expectations of you before, so your Moments with Lin Qingying on social media upset her, and her reaction is understandable."
"What did she say?"
"She said she's still very angry with you, so you should just stay on her blacklist and she'll unblock you when she's in a better mood."
Milo said, "Anyway, as your brother, I've done everything I can. Now it all depends on this lady's mood. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. That's just how Xiao Bei is; he does everything according to his mood. Maybe one day he'll come to his senses and fly straight to Huaining City to see you."
"Um."
I nodded. "Luo'er, how's your leveling going lately?"
"He's completed his Third Transfer."
Milo laughed and said, "I don't have any family here, so the New Year means nothing to me. My Left Hand has been helping me through a lot of dungeons, and I'm rapidly approaching level 40!"
"Good job, keep it up!"
"Hehe, absolutely!"
After ending the call with Milo, she continued cooking.
It was 5:30 in the evening.
"Snap!"
Lin Qingying open the living room door and walked in. Compared to a few days ago, she looked much more tired, and her dark circles were even deeper.
"You're back just in time; the food is ready."
I sat down opposite you and said, "Sit down and eat. I'll watch you eat."
"Oh..."
After Lin Qingying sat down, she ate her food in small bites and used her chopsticks to forcefully poke at the salted fish, managing to pry off a piece of what she called a clove of garlic meat.
"After you finish eating, get some rest and don't work anymore."
I stood up and said, "I have to go out for a gathering; they've been urging me to leave several times already."
"Go quickly."
Lin Qingying looked up at me and said, "Call me if you drink too much, and I'll come pick you up."
"Um."
I nodded and went out to hail a taxi.
Sitting in the taxi, her voice was still echoing in my mind.
After we confessed our feelings to each other, it seemed like there wasn't any real progress between us. Neither of us knew how to bring it up, and we missed the best opportunity to confirm our relationship because of the sudden Yue Ning Energy Crisis.
Shortly after, we arrived at the agreed-upon hotel.
Cai Cai treated us to Cai Cai, and she actually roasted a suckling pig! That's quite a generous gesture.
"What's the story behind this pig?" I asked.
"Hehe, I'll treat you!"
Cai Cai said, "Boss, you don't know this, but last night I finally completed an S-rank daily quest that I'd been putting off for half a month, and surprisingly, I was rewarded with a Resurrection Sacred Canon. The transaction was just completed, and I sold the Resurrection Sacred Canon to Bingzi for 500,000 coins, so this time our whole team has Resurrection Sacred Canon!"
"Sharp..."
I nodded. "Faye, where did you get your Resurrection Sacred Canon?"
"I traded it for one orange-tier item, two purple-tier items, and 200,000 Star Coins," said Fey Courtier. "What a rip-off! I should have bought this Cai Cai. 500,000 was a real bargain... Tsk tsk, what a loss!"
"That's good."
I looked at everyone and asked, "Have you decided where to go next?"
"Um!"
Cai Cai nodded emphatically. "Thunder God Island, Nightmare Difficulty Map!"
"Holy crap, Thunder God Island???"
I frowned and fell into deep thought. In the list of Phase Teleportation Array in Huaining City, Thunder God Island and two other maps were at the bottom, and the names of the teleportation arrays were all blood red. Ordinary players would not dare to touch them. Even large guilds like Crimson Firmament Alliance and Ember Domain have never organized an event to go to the Nightmare map. You can imagine how difficult it is.
"How about it?"
Cai Cai asked cautiously, "Boss, do you think we can go to this map? If it's really not feasible, we can choose a weaker map, safety first."
"Right."
Ruolin also looked at me. "Ding Han, what do you think? Is there any possibility of conquering Thunder God Island?"
Fey Courtier and Huo Bingzhi Ri also cast expectant glances their way.
"It's not that we can't go."
I chuckled and said, "At worst, we'll just have to pay for the lesson with a Resurrection Sacred Canon. It's a bit of a gacha fee, but we still need to tackle these kinds of challenging maps. Otherwise, how will we become top-tier players in the future?"
"That makes sense!"
The fat man slammed his hand on the table. "As the saying goes, 'When we meet again, the young man draws his bow to its fullest extent, unafraid of time or wind.' With our average combat strength above average and a top-tier player like Ding Han leading the team, we should challenge ourselves with something more difficult."
"You fat bastard, you're trying to knock over the roast pig before we've even eaten it?" Cai Cai desperately tried to steady the table.
I was speechless and said, "Damn it, who gave me the T0 designation?"
"I gave you the title, brother," the fat man said shamelessly, patting his chest.
Faye and Bingzi burst into laughter.
Zhang Ruolin said, "Alright, stop fooling around, let's eat first, I'm starving!"
"Yes, yes, let's eat! Fill the glasses!"
So, everyone got up with a glass of wine in hand and started clinking glasses.
Happy New Year, comrades!
A glass of ice-cold beer is so refreshing.
Next, everyone mingled and chatted, discussing the future and their life ideals. One by one, these ruthless bandits, who seemed to have emerged from the wilderness with Explosive Gun in their arms, suddenly transformed into philosophers, and the topics they discussed became increasingly profound.
Around nine o'clock, at my suggestion, everyone ended the gathering and agreed to meet at the Player Black Market at nine o'clock the next morning to go to Thunder God Island for training.
"Squeak~~"
When I opened the door, the living room was pitch black.
Lin Qingying was very obedient and had really fallen asleep.
I quickly washed up and went to bed, falling asleep before 11 o'clock.
The next morning.
I woke up early, washed up, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and then had breakfast with Lin Qingying.
"How did you sleep last night?" I asked.
"You rested well."
She leaned closer. "Ding Han, do you think my eye bags and dark circles are bad?"
"My eye bags are okay, my dark circles are a bit heavy, but much better than yesterday."
I laughed and said, "You have no idea, when I walked in after get off work yesterday evening, I almost thought a wild giant panda had wandered into my house!"
"You..."
She was both amused and exasperated, and playfully punched me.
"Xiaoying, I'm going out on errands today and may be away from home for a day or two," I said.
"Another business trip?"
"Yes, the New Year is over, we can't slack off, we have to keep working hard!"
"All right..."
She said meaningfully, "Then you should be careful when you're out."
"Don't worry, always keep the word 'steady' in mind."
After going downstairs together and watching Lin Qingying drive away, they met up with Fatty. The two hailed a taxi and then headed to the Player Black Market.
At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the Player Black Market. Cai Cai, Ruolin, and the others were already there. I counted my ammunition and supplies, and then went to the Phase Teleportation Array.
"Brother!"
Cai Cai said casually, "Change the teleportation target to Thunder God Island, all seven of us will teleport together, Xie Xie!"
"Thunder God Island?"
One of the players in charge of the Teleportation Array narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "You dare to go into Nightmare Difficulty Map? You've got guts, buddy..."
Then, his gaze swept over us one by one, and he said with relief, "So it's the team of the great god Shadow Chaser. That makes sense. Have a safe journey. The teleportation fee is 3,000 Star Coins. Please pay the fee before entering the Teleportation Array."
Everyone paid their share and then stepped into the Teleportation Array one after another.
"Whoosh!"
With a tearing sensation in his body, his physical form reformed in the next moment, and he stepped onto Thunder God Island.
Turning around, the Teleportation Array set up on Thunder God Island was not large, only three meters high, and was guarded by several military police carrying Submachine Gun. There were no vehicles available for rent.
Ahead lay an endless expanse of island terrain. This Thunder God Island was vast, and we would have to explore it on foot, searching for our own destiny.
Let's go.
I picked up my Explosive Gun and said, "The terrain is huge, we need to hurry."
"Walk!"
The group followed behind, forming a single file.
After passing through the dense forest, we officially entered the Thunder God Island map. High above, purple lightning flashed continuously. Looking down from above, patches of thunder swamps were scattered across the island, looking like they were off-limits to strangers. It was unknown how these thunder swamps were formed or what physical phenomenon they followed. In any case, Thunder God Island appeared before us.
I opened the large map and took a look. I finally decided to explore from the east side of the island northwards. That way, even if I encountered monsters, I would still have the ocean as a route and wouldn't be left with nowhere to retreat.
Soon after, he led everyone into a dense, towering forest.
"Rustle..."
The ground was covered in moss, as if it had just rained, and the forest was filled with the scent of fungal spores, which gave me a slightly uneasy feeling.
"Damn it, I feel like something's watching us," Cai Cai said.
"I feel the same way," Kou Mei nodded.
I squinted, activated the scope and infrared system of my Explosive Gun, and observed carefully. Sure enough, in the canopy of these towering trees, there were objects hanging down, looking like bats hanging upside down, but upon closer inspection, their appearance was full of deceptive colors, like the feathers of some kind of bird.
Under night vision systems, they have very obvious infrared signatures!
"Watch out, it's up there!"
I quickly warned them, and the next moment, a series of "squeaks" rang out. The monsters suddenly released their feet, and their bodies spiraled and unfolded in the air, transforming into creatures brimming with electricity!
"Damn, what the hell?!" The fat man was startled.
My gaze, however, locked onto a monster, and in the blink of an eye, I shared its attribute information with the team.
[Thunderbird Man] (Elite)
Level: 50
Attack: 1000-1250
Defense: 450
Qi and Blood: 10000
Grade: Demonic Aura - Level I
Evolutionary form: [Thunder Demon—I]
Skills: [Bite Lv6] [Lightning Strike Lv6]
Details: Thunderbird Man are avian life forms infected by demonic energy. They are rare Level I demonic spirits with a second form. Due to their gregarious nature, extra caution must be exercised if you encounter them!
"It's Ten Thousand Health Elite, be careful!"
I looked up and saw swarms of Thunderbird Man flapping their wings, and shouted, "Shoot! Don't let them get close!"
The next moment, he locked onto the Thunderbird Man's head with the Explosive Gun and fired 4-5 shots in a burst. In just a few seconds, he Headshot several Thunderbird Man, and the experience points flew by!
[You have defeated the Thunderbird Man (Elite) and received the following reward: Character Experience +1200! Due to the ongoing Lunar New Year event (New Year's Eve - the fifth day of the Lunar New Year), double experience is available, and you receive an additional reward: +1200!]
Holy crap, a Lunar New Year event with double experience points?!
This is outrageous!
If the situation weren't a bit tense right now, I would definitely have laughed out loud.
In the air, although the Thunderbird Man were formidable, they couldn't break through at all. The combat strength of our squad was now vastly different from what it used to be. In particular, the output of Cai Cai and Fatty, the two fourth-tier Firepower Specialist, was terrifying. Coupled with my max-level Shooting Expert, we basically formed a net of firepower overhead, making it difficult for any to escape!
"Watch out for the second form!"
I fired while keeping a close eye on what was ahead.
The Thunderbird Man, shot down, fell from the sky and transformed into a fireball. But the fireball crackled and crackled with lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it entered its second form: Thunder Demon!
The Thunder Demon looked exactly like a little boy wearing a bib, with his hands outstretched, shooting out bolts of lightning!
"Sizzle!"
In the front row, Cai Cai was the first to be hit, her hair standing on end from the electric shock, and her whole body was charred black!
"1662!"
"1764!"
"1575!"
No one could withstand such continuous electric shocks!
"Kill the Thunder Demon!"
I immediately leveled my gun and said, "Cai Cai and I will take care of the second phase. The rest of you continue killing the Thunderbird Man. Move the position back, away from the area where the Thunder Demons fell. Everyone, watch your health!"
"I know, don't worry, boss!"
Everyone responded one by one.
Gunshots rang out in the dim forest, and streaks of fire illuminated everything around them. Although the number of Thunderbird Man roosting in the canopy was large, they were still no match for our team. Instead, the double experience bonus during the Spring Festival allowed everyone to gain a huge amount of Experience Points.
This feels so good.
After reaching level 45, I felt that leveling up became significantly more difficult. Even grinding monsters for a long time and getting the reward from an S-rank quest might not be enough to level up once. Every level up from now on will be a long battle, so this double experience is very timely!
So we kept scrolling until around dusk. As the sun set, we finally emerged from the jungle, only to find the island still barren ahead.
"Drop!"
A message came from Gun Like a Dragon: "Ding Han, I heard you guys went to the Nightmare Difficulty Map Thunder God Island?"
"Yes, we're currently on Thunder God Island. What's up?"
"Fine..."
"Just a heads-up," Gun Like a Dragon, "Be careful on Thunder God Island. I heard from the Guide that Huaining City isn't the only place that can teleport to Thunder God Island. It seems there's another teleportation point in the Star Maple Federation that connects to Thunder God Island, but the location of the Teleportation Array is different. So you must be extra careful; you might not be the only ones on the island."
"Knew."
I nodded and relayed the message to the rest of the team. After that, we continued to advance deeper into Thunder God Island. Now that we were here, there was no need to hesitate. Everyone had a Resurrection Sacred Canon, so let's just get to work!
"Sizzle~~~"
Not long after we left the forest, streaks of purple lightning suddenly fell into the forest, and the earth trembled slightly. Then, it seemed that countless purple energies were being drawn up from the forest and continuously condensed in the air. In the blink of an eye, there was a burst of lightning and thunder!
What's going on?
The fat man gripped his Explosive Gun tightly and looked back warily.
Cai Cai took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the soul of the demon we killed before has been devoured. If nothing unexpected happens, a demon boss should have been triggered."
"Wait?"
Ruolin looked at me.
"Okay, wait."
I picked up my Explosive Gun and nodded, saying, "We're here to fight the BOSS, so we'll definitely have to wait."
Fey Courtier raised his eyebrows slightly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Huo Bingzhi Ri, ready for battle.
"Sizzle~~"
Lightning crackled in the sky above the forest. Soon after, a purple bird-man, crackling with lightning, soared through the air and charged forward with a strong demonic aura after letting out a sharp shriek!
Thunder Spirit, a level 50 Purple BOSS, has two forms!
"Aim and fire!"
Without hesitation, I aimed the Explosive Gun at Thunder Spirit's head and pulled the trigger the next second. Immediately, a series of "bang bang bang" sounds rang out as a magazine of bullets hit Thunder Spirit's forehead. Instantly, its demonic energy surged and dissipated, and its armor was rapidly weakened!
On both sides, Fatty, Cai Cai, Ruolin, Fey Courtier and others also opened fire. The group subconsciously spread out to reduce the area they were attacked. Suddenly, the Thunder Spirit in the air roared, opened its beak, and spat out a bolt of lightning that directly swallowed Cai Cai, who had a strong firepower output!
"12982!"
In an instant, the Cai Cai were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
Fortunately, he allocated his stat points to Strength, Constitution, and Agility, and now he's fully equipped with purple gear and has over 30,000 HP. Although the bite hurt, it wasn't fatal!
"Damn it..."
He rolled over, his body steaming, and hid behind a rock, saying, "This thing can attack from a distance?"
"It's okay, keep outputting!"
I turned around, drew my UZI, and fired in close-range bursts. At a distance of less than 10 meters, it was as if I had the muzzle of the gun pressed against Thunder Spirit's forehead, instantly unleashing all 60 bullets!
Hehehe~~~
With a long roar, the Thunder Spirit charged down, its body enveloped in lightning!
"Sizzle!"
I had no intention of dodging at all. I switched from UZI to Wind Chaser, cast a Stardust Wall around myself, and just as the Thunder Spirit's claws pierced the air and fell, I suddenly used a short-range Step Slash to make the attack miss. Then I turned around and charged with Explosive Charge, activating the combo of Tian Gong Kai Wu, Overpowering Momentum, and Battle Roar!
Thunder Spirit roared and turned around, but the next second he was frozen to the Cold Star Piercing Bone. Then he took a set of continuous attacks, including Consecutive Slashes, Ash Sweep, and Bloodthirsty Assault. His health bar dropped rapidly, and he lost more than 150,000 health points in 5 seconds. Then he took a set of damage from the Explosive Gun, and lost another 80,000 health points!
"Holy crap..."
Cai Cai stared in disbelief. "Wow!"
"Full power!"
The Ruolin ran out of bullets, she unleashed Explosive Charge. Her purple Monomolecular Longsword then unleashed a series of skills, followed by a powerful Rising Dragon Slash sent the BOSS flying, allowing her to continue controlling the situation!
I took the opportunity to empty another UZI magazine. Instantly, Thunder Spirit let out a wail, his health bar was depleted, and he collapsed limply, his body turning into a pile of fiery red ashes!
"Watch out, it's about to enter its second form!"
The reason why demon spirits are so troublesome is that high-level BOSS demon spirits usually have multiple forms. One kill is not enough; sometimes it takes three or four kills to truly defeat them!
"Sizzle~~"
Lightning flowed across the earth, and a few seconds later, the fiery red ashes actually swirled up in the still air, then quickly gathered and transformed into a bird-like figure wielding a steel fork, becoming even more ferocious and domineering!
Thunder Soul, a level 50 Purple BOSS!
"Superior!"
Without hesitation, I immediately launched the second combo of Tian Gong Kai Wu + Overpowering Momentum + Battle Roar. Before Thunder Soul could get up with his steel fork, I unleashed an Explosive Charge and stunned him. Then, I followed up with a perfect control combo and a violent output. Instantly, Thunder Soul's arms were severed multiple times under the slashing of the Power Sword!
Unfortunately, demons are energy entities, not true organic life forms. When I severed Thunder Soul's hands and feet, the severed limbs did not fall to the ground, but hovered in the air, where There Are Monsters continuously condensed and reconnected the limbs.
Of course, the damage dealt is still calculated, and it's quite substantial!
"Whoosh!"
A Dragon Binding Rope tied him to the spot. As I retreated rapidly, I took out my Explosive Gun and fired a whole magazine, but it was empty!
"You damned bastards!"
Finally, Thunder Soul actually spoke, uttering the voice of an older woman, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Control her, don't let her fight back!"
At my command, we continuously switched weapons and began firing.
Ruolin rushed out instantly, unleashing a set of control moves. Immediately afterward, Kou Mei and Fey Courtier followed up with a wave of control moves using their Psionic Chain and Stardust Tendril. As for Cai Cai and Fatty, they didn't care about anything else; they just kept firing their fiery red gun barrels!
Firepower Specialist is really fun; in situations like this, you can focus entirely on firing like crazy!
In less than half a minute, the BOSS's second form also turned into a state of low health. With a wail, the steel fork shattered, and its body also shattered, turning into demonic energy and scorching flames all over the ground, dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
[Congratulations! You have defeated the [Thunder Spirit] (Purple BOSS) and obtained the item: [BOSS Ability Crystal]×1!]
[Battle Notification: You have defeated the [Thunder Spirit] (Purple BOSS), gaining 480,000 character experience points. The Essence Furnace extracted 240,000 Experience Points!]
We've got it covered. Those mere purple spirits are no match for our Combat Power team!
"We opened the treasure chest!" Huo Bingzhi Ri said happily.
So everyone lowered their heads and opened their boxes.
With a flick of my finger, the Purple Treasure Chest opened, revealing 8000 Star Coins... Awesome!
"Hiss--"
After taking a deep breath, I didn't say a word, acting as if nothing had happened.
"So, did you get anything?" Cai Cai asked.
"A Purple Leggings." The fat man exclaimed happily, "Damn, that feels so good..."
"Holy crap, what incredible luck!"
Cai Cai, Fey Courtier, Huo Bingzhi Ri all gave each other the middle finger.
But just then, a sudden "whoosh" sounded as the wind cut through the air, followed by a series of Kou Mei staggered back several steps, a damage number appearing above her forehead.
"1973!"
"Careful!"
I took a step forward and instantly activated Stardust Wall to block Kou Mei's path. The next second, two sniper rifle bullets, trailing sparks, rushed towards me. They clattered twice on the stardust fragments of Stardust Wall, only reducing her resilience but not causing any damage!
"Back off, find cover!"
"Watch out, RPG!"
"Fey Courtier shouted!"
About 200 meters away in the woods, we saw about seven or eight RPG Rocket flying towards us, trailing fiery red tails!
"Don't run!"
Although Kou Mei had lost nearly 2000 points of health, she wasn't too panicked and shouted, "Everyone, come to my side!"
The next moment, her pupils emitted a silver light, and she raised her hand to summon a Psionic Barrier in front of her. In an instant, not only the enemy's sniper rifle bullets, but even the rockets flew into the barrier one by one, only causing ripples, and there was no loud explosion as expected!
Psionic Barrier, what a god-tier skill on the battlefield!
I quickly switched to my RPG and said in a deep voice, "Spread out and take cover, fire two rounds of RPGs together, then charge with me!"
"Good!"
The group quickly dispersed, each seeking cover. Then, a series of rockets shot through the night sky, heading straight for the jungle where the enemy was hiding!
"Boom boom boom~~~"
A violent explosion rang out, and the woodland was instantly ignited, with flames shooting into the sky!
"One more round!"
I quickly loaded the second round and fired!
Meanwhile, the opponent's ID flickered in the night. Due to the firefight, their numbers could be seen on the minimap, totaling 12. In the firelight, it was vaguely discernible that they were all Caucasian Player. Just as the saying goes, "Gun Like a Dragon," not only National Server players but also some foreign players could be teleported to Thunder God Island!
Just then, the star map flickered, and a voice rang out, speaking in broken Chinese: "You don't need to put up any more futile resistance! I am Owen, a player from the Star Maple Federation. We have come in large numbers, with only one objective: to kill Shadow Chaser! The rest of you can leave now. We will only kill Shadow Chaser. I hope you won't make a mistake!"
"Damn it..."
Cai Cai frowned. "These foreigners are really good at this kind of divide-and-conquer strategy, aren't they?"
"Otherwise what?"
Fey Courtier said, "Who do you think those financial bloggers on Sina Weibo are, their dogs?"
"Stop talking, get ready to charge!"
I switched to my Explosive Gun and said in a deep voice, "They're only about 180 meters away from us. I'll charge first, and you guys charge after I engage them. Cai Cai and Fatty don't need to get close; you guys charge to within 50 meters and start firing. Ruolin, don't hold back on your Explosive Charge; you rush up first and help me spread out the fire!"
"Clear!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
The next second, I twisted and rushed out of the rock that was concealing me, holding the Explosive Gun and dashing forward with a "whoosh," then used a series of S-shaped serpentine movements to get closer!
The Caucasian Player seemed to be getting impatient, firing their Submachine Gun at intervals of 150+ meters. However, this distance was beyond the effective range of most Submachine Gun, and the bullets flew wildly with absolutely no accuracy!
"Whoosh!"
Instantly activate the skill – Bio-Optical Invisibility!
His body vanished into the wind in an instant. For a moment, the opposing group looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces turning ashen, shouting and yelling in a language they couldn't understand.
18 seconds of invisibility time is enough for me to rush in and get close!
"Rustle..."
A soft rustling sound came from beneath his feet, but this sound was quickly drowned out by the sound of the waves and the continuous thunderclaps above Thunder God Island. The next moment, he rushed to within 40 yards of his target, locking onto a sinister-looking white youth hiding behind a tree— Owen!
"Bang bang bang--"
The Explosive Gun fired first, instantly unleashing more than 10 bullets, each shot exploding and taking away half of Owen's health bar. Just as he realized what was happening, I had already activated my Explosive Charge!
"Boom!"
A shockwave erupted, stunning Owen had just drawn his shield. Then, the Power Sword Wind Chaser flashed by and instantly sliced through his neck!
A thin line of blood spread, Owen's neck was split in two, but a layer of golden energy quickly enveloped it, as if time had reversed. I vaguely saw a flashback of the Power Sword cutting through the neck, and then Owen's body, enveloped in golden light, miraculously returned to normal!
Sure enough, he possessed the Resurrection Sacred Canon!
