Chapter 267: Bladed Beetle’s Last Hit

“F*ck, there’s a Sniper!”

“What a crazy attack!”

A splash of blood appeared on top of the Sniper’s head as his expression completely changed . He quickly picked up his sniper rifle and took cover behind something opposite Feng Luo’s direction .

“Almost 3,500 damage . I was almost instant-killed even with full HP!” As he hastily applied a blood tonic that he got out of his tactical vest, he said with disbelief, “Sh*t! I could probably only suffer this sort of damage when fighting white-gears!”

His helmet was a Level-45 Excellent-grade piece of equipment, but its defense had been broken through by the opponent’s shield-breaking energy bullet! Even if he were to use the Rare-grade sniper rifle he held at that moment and also use a shield-breaking energy bullet, at most, he would only be able to take out 80 percent of its defense . Not to mention that the opponent’s bullet still took out almost 90 percent of his HP after breaking the defense of his helmet, where a lot of the damage would have already been absorbed!

What kind of crazy damage is this?! Good thing I wasn’t killed . As long as I’m alive, the problem isn’t critical! Moreover, it sounds like he shot came from outside the forest; in that case, it’s just a coincidence that he hit me . Also, as long as the two of them get rid of that Hunter outside…

The Sniper player was rolled into a ball, as he did not even dare to take a peek . However, he didn’t look all that worried because he had two other teammates .

However, at that moment, he seemed to hear a slight rustling .

Hmm? What was that sound?

The problem was, due to the loud energy explosions and metallic clanking from the battle between his two teammates and the Hunter, he wasn’t sure .

His vision suddenly swirled as an odd black shadow crawled out of the forest . The shadow wasn’t all that large but was indistinct due to the dark environment . It looked somewhat like a puppy wielding two large sickles .

What the f—?!

The Sniper player’s expression changed as he quickly raised his sniper rifle . However, before he could take aim, the “puppy” had already leaped forward, closing the short seven to eight-meter distance with great agility . It landed in front of him in an instant! At the same time, two sickles—which appeared to be covered with dried blood—and a barbed tail became prominent in his visual field!

−754

His HP, which had not yet recovered past 1,000, was instantly reduced to almost nothing! Immediately after that, another black shadow jumped forward and brought him to despair!

−208

You’ve killed a Death Game opponent . Based on the opponent’s strength, obtained kill points: 180 .

You’ve killed a Special Agent Mission competition, obtained extra Special Agent Mission points: 200 .

A few seconds before…

Sniper?

When the Light Armor Warrior and Earth Manipulator who had cut off both the metallic arms of the Hunter on the beach heard the agonizing shout of their Sniper teammate after he was shot, their expressions changed .

It was obvious that they’d specifically lured the Hunter to that location . That was because this location could minimize their risk of being ambushed by others while they were fighting with the Hunter . The forest would not only cover the flashes created by their skills, but it could also minimize the sound of the Sniper’s shots, reducing them to the minimum!

One thing that should be noted was that in War, the air was filled with all types of “energy elements,” which made the laws of physics slightly different from the real world! For example, the sounds of gunshots decreased quickly with distance, while the destructive power of nuclear bombs and normal explosives was slightly weaker . This also included the distance limit of thermal induction, night vision, and other factors…

Of course, to the players, it was, in fact, the system’s way of balancing things out . Or perhaps, it was a setting that was convenient for players! For example, regarding the issue of gunshot sounds, since popular leveling hotspots attracted large numbers of players, there were huge numbers of Gunners hunting monsters in those areas within a radius of just a few hundred meters .

If the Barret had produced real gunshot sounds—without any occlusion in dry air and without a silencer—the sound waves could have traveled several kilometers . In that sense, leveling would have been torture on the ears, especially when fighting Bosses . When Machine Gunners gathered in packs, the noises would have likely drowned out the sounds of commands!

As such, the gunshot sounds in War actually decreased substantially and quickly in all directions except for the direction of the bullet . Moreover, when there were obstacles, the decrease was even more significant .

This was also the reason why when Feng Luo did not install the silencer on his Barrett even though they were on an island that wasn’t exactly huge, half the people on the island came looking for him!

Naturally, since there weren’t many people left—with 200 spread out on a large island like this—it was incredibly difficult to find a target without any scouting methods!

“F*ck, we’re really unlucky!” the Earth Manipulator complained . However, his actions weren’t affected in the slightest . The staff in his hands flashed, and an Earth Energy Shield covered his body . “Hurry up and get rid of it!”

However, after he cast an energy shield on himself, he did not retreat or attempt to hide; instead, he continued his attacks on T-750!

He!

After a brief delay, an Earth Spike slammed into the right knee of the armless T-750 . The Hunter had lost its weapon; this was their best chance, and they didn’t want to let their earlier efforts go to waste . Visit web novel . live If You like manga , comics

As for the Sniper, they were confident that he could take a shot or two!

Ka!

The metallic leg of the T-750 Hunter was also battered after the previous battles . As such, the Earth Spike’s strike broke its leg off just like its arms!

Clang!

At the same time, the Light Armor Warrior seized the opportunity and completed another Heavy Slash, cutting off the T-750’s remaining left leg!

Pow!

The Hunter’s body fell on the beach as sand and dust filled the air!

******

“Heh! The Sniper stopped shooting . Maybe he understood the situation and retreated after seeing the Hunter fall?” the Light Armor Warrior said with disdain after checking that the weapon and all four limbs of the Hunter had been dealt with and confirming that no threat remained .

It had been seven and eight seconds since the Sniper had fired . No other shots had been fired after that . But, just in case, he moved behind a tree . At the same time, he raised his head and shouted to the direction of his teammate, “255! You okay?”

However, as soon as he said it, he saw a flash of white light come from the Sniper’s body!

“What?”

Shock filled the Light Armor Warrior’s eyes as he headed for cover .

That Sniper from the other side of the forest only fired one shot and failed to kill our Sniper teammate . That much is certain . Why did he just die? Could it be because of a special attribute of the opponent’s gun? Or perhaps it’s his talent? To kill a Sniper wearing a full set of gear that was at least Excellent-grade—isn’t that a bit over the top?!

Since the position of the Sniper was somewhat blocked, he did not even notice the shadows of the two Bladed Beetles in the dark environment . At the same time, he also did not notice, when his line of sight shifted toward that Sniper, a pair of flashing red eyes from the limbless T-750 . It had lost all four of its limbs, depleting its “combat strength,” and now seemed to be counting down to death!

Just as doubt began to fill his mind…

Pow!

The chest of the T-750 Hunter opened, and a cylindrical item rolled onto the beach .

Boom!

In the next moment, a half-sphere of bluish-white energy engulfed a radius of ten meters on the beach!
