Fatal Shot

Chapter 661: Ambush

action

“It is effective!”

The people from the Nightless Club all looked delighted.

The blade of Ghost Weep was covered in dancing black flames as the sharp edges completely cut into and sliced through the safe!

As a matter of fact, even Feng Luo was surprised.

Although using the skill was his idea, he was uncertain if the blade infused with Psionic Energy would be able to cut through the safe.

After all, the material of the safe was extremely solid. Even the Legendary Grade alloy swords of two of the best Light Armor Warriors were not able to do much damage.

However, under the effects of the Psionic Energy’s bonus property, Destroy, he did not have to make much effort before slicing through the safe.

It was definitely due to the effects of the Destroy property that he was able to destroy the safe. If one were to investigate the destruction of the safe in detail, one would be able to see that the safe had changed its color and shape very quickly the moment the black Psionic Flame made contact. The structure of the material was destroyed. Furthermore, the skill of Ghost Weep significantly increased his strength and allowed him to push the blade through the safe!

“Puff!”

Seeing how effective the attack was, Feng Luo took one step closer, changed his grip on the knife, and continued cutting at the invisible edges of the safe.

“Done!”

Although it was not as easy as cutting tofu, Feng Luo did not need to expend a lot of his strength to create a half meter wide hole on the safe.

It was the first time he used this Destroy property, but the effect was absolutely a lot better than he expected!

“Let me take the creature!”

Seeing that the safe was cut open, Boss Meng put down his large golden sword and quickly took out a black folding box from his inventory. After that, he took the Cerebrate from the safe and put it into the box.

Since players often encountered things that they couldn’t place inside their inventory, many players would bring along a folding box with them out of habit.

Even though the folding box wasn’t that big, it had just enough space to hold the Cerebrate, especially since its body had significantly shrunk after it died. Boss Meng picked up the box with one arm.

Mu Zi, on the other hand, had already opened the tunnel with his bracelet, and the group began returning to the abandoned ruin’s entrance.

The abandoned ruin exploration mission had finally finished!

It took them around thirty minutes to get to the mission, but since all the monsters had been wiped out, the return journey took less than five minutes. Before long, the group had reached the entrance.

“Rumble!”

The metallic rotating door of the abandoned ruin retracted like the petals of a flower. Then, a ray of light brightened up the underground tunnel slope between them and the door.

Rose Thorns raised her alloy shield and led the way out.

After looking around carefully and noting that no monsters were waiting in the surrounding forest, she turned around to say, “There are no monsters!”

Boss Meng held the box containing the Cerebrate with one hand while the other held his golden alloy sword on his shoulder and said, “Now, let us return to the Lu Conglomerate City first. We’ll go look for the A-2 Base inside the Forest of Death that the NPC mentioned after the system update occurs.”

“Yeah, there’s only around two hours left before the system update happens. That is definitely not enough time for us to work on a follow-up mission!”

“Rumble!”

As the group talked, they reached and exited through the main entrance of the abandoned ruin, and the door behind them closed automatically.

The moment the metallic door of the abandoned ruin closed, Feng Luo’s face stiffened.

“Hmm!”

Then, he raised his head and looked at the sky suspiciously.

At that moment, he had a strange feeling. It was as if the air above his head was heating up.

It was a type of feeling that was difficult to put into words, but his body was able to react to it.

However, when Feng Luo raised his head to look at the sky, he found that the sun was not there. Therefore, the peculiar feeling of heat was quite odd!

Feng Luo mumbled to himself as he observed the sky. “Wait. Why does the sky seem tinged with a bit of red?”

As Feng Luo’s mind raced, Little Witch’s energy converter and Mu Zi’s recon meter rang alarms almost at the same time.

[Beep, beep. Energy fluctuations have been discovered!]

At that time, the red in the sky had expanded and spread quickly. In less than two seconds, the light red sky had turned into a blazing red color that was accompanied by chunks of black smoke. Just then, a pressuring and despairing type of energy, along with an extreme heatwave, came towards them from the sky!

A Level 40 Ultimate skill of Fire Manipulators, called Meteor Rain, had been unleashed upon them!

“Dodge! Quick!”

Everyone’s face changed colors.

However, they had more concerns than just dodging the Meteor Rain. The September Guild players were fully prepared and had been waiting to ambush them.

“Ta, ta, ta!”

A flurry of shots from a machine gun, which was hidden within a bush, rang in the air.

The Level 50 Rare Grade heavy electromagnetic machine gun, which was beyond rare amidst player ranks, created eight fiery “snakes,” each densely packed with high caliber rounds fired at a rate of over a hundred per second. The bullets rained down on the players and completely destroyed the vegetation in front of them while also filling the sky with dirt and debris as the bullets hit the ground!

“Ta, ta, ta!”

Two submachine guns also sent bullets flying their way.

Furthermore, who could forget the profession that could deal the highest single unit damage in a PK battle like this? The Snipers!

“Bang!”

An energy sniper bullet hit Feng Luo’s chest.

[-1240 HP.]

The bullet had pierced through the SUV combat uniform he wore. The 12.7mm sniper bullet’s residual impact was enough to clear out over 1,000 of his HP.

If he had not detected the anomaly in the sky in advance that prompted him to dodge sideways immediately, the bullet would have definitely struck closer to his heart. The damage done to his HP would have been higher in that situation!

Feng Luo’s rolling maneuver was the thing that allowed him to, by a hair’s breadth, dodge another sniper bullet that was aimed toward his head.

However, the others did not react in time like him!

“Bang!”

[-3467 HP.]

As one of the few players who was a primary target like Feng Luo, a bullet hole appeared in between Little Snow’s eyes after her HP was reduced by the shots from the two submachine guns.

A sign of panic was still visible in her eyes as the medical chest she held fell on the ground.

Feng Luo had, more than once, killed the enemy camp’s Doctor first in battles. It was a strategy.

This time, the roles had switched, and his team’s Doctor player was the first to be killed by an enemy who had the same profession.

However, it was not only Little Snow who suffered. As the only Light Armor Warrior who could close in quickly, Boss Meng was also hit with a bunch of Ice Arrows and Wind Blades as he had become a prioritized target. Soon, the white light of death had gone through his body!

His beloved golden sword also dropped to the ground!

“Ta, ta, ta!”

The vanguard of the squad, Rose Thorns, managed to react quickly and activate her shield and defensive skills. However, under the barrage of the enemy’s eight barrelled machine gun, her HP still went down very quickly.

Furthermore, at that moment, the energy brewing above them in the sky had now matured. Black smoke accompanied the blazing fire energy that descended from the sky, covering a range of around 20 meters. The Meteor Rain had arrived!
