An Advanced Beast General Slain in Seconds
Following the direction of Jia Hong's Heavy Machine Gun fire, Qin Ming slightly adjusted the heavy sniper rifle in his hands. An Iron-armored Giant Crab, roughly ten meters across and covered in a black shell, crawled out of the river.
Like a phantom, the Iron-armored Giant Crab raised its massive claws and charged toward War Base 003 at a speed of one hundred meters per second.
Rat-a-tat-tat.
The tongues of fire created by several large-caliber Heavy Machine Guns formed a giant net, but the bullets slammed into the Iron-armored Giant Crab's shell without completely shattering it.
It continued its mad charge.
A Beast General Level Monster!
Only Beast General Level Monsters possessed such speed and defense.
Moreover, sea Monsters were usually larger than land Monsters, had stronger defenses, and were harder to kill.
Even the Heavy Machine Guns' armor-piercing rounds could not penetrate its shell. Only by hitting a vital point was it possible to kill it.
The endless stream of soul energy flowing from the Myriad Souls Banner steadily strengthened Qin Ming's soul, and his breathing gradually calmed.
He looked through the scope, his finger resting on the trigger.
Bang.
The 25mm armor-piercing round passed through a gap in the Iron-armored Giant Crab's shell, drilled into its eye, and violently exploded.
The Iron-armored Giant Crab's enormous body suddenly lost balance while moving at high speed. It collapsed to the ground, its life force gone.
Whoosh!
A translucent, illusory soul rose from the Iron-armored Giant Crab's body, turning into a streak of light that was Devoured by the Myriad Souls Banner.
During its charge, the Iron-armored Giant Crab had already approached within one hundred meters of the fortress.
A Primary General Level soul!
A surge of heat suddenly poured from the Myriad Souls Banner. Qin Ming felt as though he had swallowed some miraculous tonic; not only had his soul grown stronger, but his body seemed to have been reinforced as well.
"Fuck! Amazing! Qin Ming, your marksmanship is incredible!"
Jia Hong, the squad leader who had been watching the battlefield at all times, had eyes that lit up. He had struck gold!
He had thought that this rookie, who had still been in school and had come to the battlefield for practical training, would be lucky if he did not wet himself in fear during his first battle despite his decent physical condition.
Yet in just a short time, Qin Ming had adapted to the battlefield and killed a Beast General Level Monster with a single shot to its vital point.
Monsters were extremely fast and possessed astonishing defenses.
Even Primary Beast Soldier Level Monsters could reach speeds of thirty meters per second and ignore small-caliber pistols.
Primary General Level Monsters could reach speeds exceeding ninety meters per second. Ordinary armor-piercing rounds could not even penetrate a Monster's skull; only a strike to a vital point could possibly kill one.
And this was War Base 003.
It was attacked by sea Monsters almost every day.
Years of warfare had made these sea Monsters cunning. They knew how to protect their vital points.
Several Heavy Machine Guns had failed to kill that Iron-armored Giant Crab, yet Qin Ming had taken it down with one shot.
He was definitely a master marksman.
What followed only confirmed Jia Hong's suspicion.
"Qin Ming, take down that Venomous Squid."
"Take down that Mutant Mantis Shrimp."
"Squad leader, I'm out of bullets!"
"Zhang Lei, get another gun over here and load it specifically for Qin Ming! Damn, I really struck gold!"
"..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sniper rifle in Qin Ming's hands fired wildly. Spent casings piled around his feet, already burying his ankles.
The constant firing turned even the barrel mixed with Chrome Alloy red-hot.
The sniper rifle had become an extension of his limbs. Without even needing to aim, he easily killed Monster after Monster on instinct alone.
At that moment, Qin Ming was like the grim reaper of the battlefield, madly harvesting the lives of Monsters.
The souls of all Monsters that died within a hundred-meter radius were Devoured by the Myriad Souls Banner, strengthening his soul and physique.
Boom!
A sudden tremor ran across the river's surface, making the entire base shake slightly.
"A big one is coming out!"
Jia Hong roared.
A hundred-meter-tall peak of water suddenly rose from the river.
The Triangular-headed Giant Python burst from the water. Its head alone, protruding above the surface, was comparable to a heavy transport aircraft.
Roar!
The Giant Python lunged toward the base, with a tide of Monsters following close behind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Large-caliber Artillery inside War Base 003 roared wildly.
Huge numbers of Monsters were instantly torn to pieces. Before large-caliber Heavy Artillery, even Beast General Level Monsters were nothing more than piles of mangled flesh.
The shells that Heavy Machine Guns could not tear apart were as fragile as tofu before Heavy Artillery.
The reason humanity had been able to hold back the sea Monsters and prevent them from entering the inland for decades was these terrifying weapons of war.
However, this Giant Python seemed deeply familiar with weapons of war as well. Rather than taking the attacks head-on, it relied on its terrifying speed to charge, evade, and dodge wildly.
Flesh, blood, and scales flew from its body.
Yet even Heavy Artillery could not kill it unless it scored a direct hit.
"It's a Bone-Eating Python, at least an Advanced Beast General Bone-Eating Python! Watch out for its venom! Fire! Fire!"
Too fast! It was simply too fast!
Although the Bone-Eating Python was enormous, it was astonishingly swift, nearly reaching the speed of sound.
As it twisted and dodged, a mass of purple liquid sprayed from its head.
Smack!
The highly toxic liquid flew precisely into a fortress and violently burst apart. The firing point inside immediately fell silent.
The soldiers inside were clearly doomed.
Qin Ming gripped his sniper rifle tightly, wanting to fire but unable to lock onto it at all.
Cold sweat ran down his forehead.
It was too fast.
Although the Bone-Eating Python had a massive body, seventy or eighty meters long, it was simply impossible to hit vital points such as its eyes.
As for attacking other areas, the sniper rifle in his hands could not break through its defense at all.
As he watched the Bone-Eating Python advance, helplessness filled his heart.
Against an Intermediate Beast General, he still had a chance with the sniper rifle in his hands.
But against an Advanced Beast General?
Ordinary firearms were completely ineffective.
Only repeated bombardment from large-caliber Heavy Artillery and Heavy Missiles could possibly kill it.
Whoosh!
A black figure suddenly shot out from the base. Holding a Long Spear, he leaped directly out of the base fortress.
The spear moved like a Dragon, and a cold glint pierced through the Giant Python's head.
Its hard scales were as fragile as tofu before the Long Spear thrust by that figure.
Rumble—
The Bone-Eating Python's skull exploded. Its formidable life force kept it from dying immediately, and its body rolled wildly as though trying to flee back into the river.
Its enormous tail swept across the battlefield, sending countless Monsters flying in sprays of blood and flesh.
But in the end, the Bone-Eating Python still collapsed unwillingly, its enormous body twitching continuously.
"A God of War Level expert has made a move."
"It's General Liu."
"A mere Advanced Beast General dared to attack the base. It truly didn't know its own limits."
The soldiers inside the fortresses were instantly invigorated. Laughing loudly, they fired their weapons wildly at the fleeing Monsters.
With the death of that Advanced Beast General, the Monster tide that had lasted all night finally retreated.
Qin Ming stared fixedly at the tall figure who had instantly killed the Bone-Eating Python before returning to the base.
A War God!
This was the power of a God of War Level expert!
As a transmigrator, Qin Ming knew very well that even God of War Martial Warriors, who stood high above others, were merely Apprentice Level.
Beyond them were Planet Level, Star Level, and even Undying gods.
Even the sun, moon, and stars were nothing but toys in the hands of Undying gods.
In this world where individual power reigned supreme, one had to become a Martial Warrior.
Then his gaze fell upon the corpse of the dead Advanced Beast General Bone-Eating Python.
What a pity. It had been just a little too far away.
That Bone-Eating Python had nearly escaped back into the river and was outside the Myriad Souls Banner's collection range.
Such a powerful Monster surely possessed an extraordinary soul.
If he could collect it, it would definitely be of great benefit.
And it was not just that Bone-Eating Python. Corpses blasted apart by machine guns and Heavy Artillery lay scattered throughout the battlefield.
The Myriad Souls Banner's collection range was only one hundred meters, covering merely a tiny portion of the battlefield.
How could he take a stroll around the battlefield?
Someone had to clean up the battlefield, right?
