<h4>Chapter 310: Level 50 Mission</h4>
South of Storm City, Withered Desert, coordinates (0346, -7178)
The scorching sun shone down with such might that even the most heat-resistant vegetation and creatures in the Withered Desert had involuntarily curled up, trying to keep their precious water supplies from being evaporated by the almost 120 degrees Fahrenheit!
asional light winds swept over the terrain, sending tiny sand particles flying into the air!
The desert was a wide swath of yellow-white, except for the side of a huge sand dune, where four big ck spots and six small ck spots were running.
A small team of yers made up of two Warriors, two female Maniptors, a female Doctor, and a Sniper were sweating from head to toe, asionally turning back to look as they fled up the sand dune!
However, the fourrge ck silhouettes behind them were clearly faster than the Earth and Fire Maniptors and the Doctor, and so the gap between the two parties kept closing up!
The Heavy Armored Warrior in the lead stopped and gasped, “No way, we can’t run away... These sh*ts have eight legs, and they move across the desert like a fish moves in water. This is insane!”
His eyes became decisive as he turned to the three female yers and two malepanions who were already pale and panting hard.
“I’ll block them! You all continue running. Watermelon, once you’re far enough from the battle, go get the Energy SUV and take the three girls back to the supply point!”
Reaching into his backpack and taking out his shield, the Heavy Armored Warrior red behind him. Less than 100 meters away, the four monsters were speeding towards him. They stood more than two meters tall, with a pair of gigantic jaws the size of a washbasin and eight limbs more than three meters in length. They were covered with body hair the thickness of a little finger—Level 50 Elite Desert Tarants!
The Light Armored Warrior in the team had stopped in his steps as well, reaching into his backpack and taking out an Alloy Sword. He shouted to hispanions who simrly wanted to stop, “Right, you guys hurry up and go. Old Steel and I will distract them!”
“No, if it wasn’t for my miscalcted sniping previously, everyone would’ve alreadypleted the mission and gone home. We wouldn’t have been chased by the four Desert Tarants. I’ll stay too and help you guys contain these Elite Desert Tarants. Like this, the others will have a better chance of escaping!” said the young-looking Sniper.
His face was filled with self-recrimination as he stopped in his steps as well, raising his sniper rifle with both hands and aiming at the Desert Tarants that were closing in.
Ping!
He instantly pulled the sniper rifle trigger, but this rushed shooting didn’t have any uracy to speak of—the armor-piercing bullet flew directly below and past the fast-moving eight limbs of one of the Desert Tarants,nding in the sand, sending a cloud of sand particles flying!
“It’s useless for you to stay; a Sniper facing agility-type closebat monsters has absolutely nobat power! Plus, even if we all die, we can’t let the three girls walk out of the desert alone!”
The Heavy Armored Warrior had already raised his Alloy Shield, engaged “Shield Rush,” and begun charging towards the two closest Desert Tarants, creating a rolling track in the sand behind him!
“Go quick!” the Light Armored Warrior yelled, simrly engaging “Charge.” He lifted his Alloy Sword and sprinted towards the other two Desert Tarants!
“Old Steel, you take on those two, I’ll distract these two!”
The Light Armored Warrior had already thought of a n, knowing that without assistance, it would be impossible for him to face two Level 50 Desert Tarants at once. These monsters were considered to be top-level among the Elite Grades!
Thus, he swiftly engaged Charge, and when a Desert Tarant was within 15 meters, he unleashed the Light Armored Warrior signature move!
“Thunder Leap sh!”
Tch!
The Light Armored Warrior raised his Level 48 Fine-Grade Alloy Sword high in the air. It reflected the scorching sun like fire above his head, borrowing momentum from the speed-enhanced leap, then slicing down onto the leg which had just been raised by the defenseless Desert Tarant!
Pai!
As a high-attack and highly-damageable agility-type monster, the defense of the leg of the Desert Tarant could notpare to monsters like the Desert Rock Lizard. Hence, with this Thunder Leap sh enhanced by the charging momentum of both parties (closebat attack damage enhanced by speed), a section of its limb was instantly chopped off!
From the opening of the severed limb, a wave of green sma spilled out, staining the steaming hot ground, even erupting into a faint green smoke!
Tch!
The Tarant produced a deafening shriek. Enraged by its injury, all its remaining seven limbs, other than the three supporting limbs, mmed down on the Light Armored Warrior!
“That won’t be so easy!” the Light Armored Warrior yelled as his body rolled away, darting beneath the Desert Tarant’s abdomen into a gap that was less than half a meter high!
Then, with the Charge skill still in effect, he once again charged straight towards another Level 50 Elite Desert Tarant. The creature had already passed him and was chasing the three female yers not far away.
“Devastating sh!”
When he had reached this Desert Tarant, the Light Armored Warrior’s Alloy Sword whooshed sharply as it violently stabbed into the gigantic tarant’s huge backside!
“-2055!”
The Alloy Sword in his hand was just a Level 48 Fine weapon, so its attack power was indeed average, but his Familiarity with Devastating sh had already reached Expert-Grade!
With this skill’s effect so enhanced, a deep opening was sliced into the powerful monster’s abdomen, and a weak damage of 2000 appeared above its head!
Peng!
Green sma sshed across the Light Armored Warrior as the injured Desert Tarant instantly burst into rage!
Its front legs mmed into the sandy ground to stop its body, sending up showers of sand. Then its two long back legs viciously smashed into the chest of the Light Armored Warrior, who had no time to dodge, sending him sprawling to the ground!
“-1388!”
“-1356!”
Above the Light Armored Warrior’s head, two damage coefficients emerged, his HP having fallen by two-fifths in an instant!
Tch!
At that moment, the other Desert Tarant stampeded furiously towards him from behind. Its seven remaining hairy legs stomped down on him!
Two enraged high-attack-type Level 50 Elite monsters against one Light Armored Warrior whose HP had already fallen to almost half!
In this situation, it seemed like a 100% death rate!
Unless...
Ping!
A 7.62MM armor-piercing bullet, circled by streaks of electricity as if it was carrying more heat than the sun in the sky, flew from behind a nearby sand dune!
The rotating armor-piercing bullet, at high-speed and an incredibly precise angle, drilled through the wounded spot on the Desert Tarant that had previously been opened by the Light Armored Warrior’s Devastating sh!
Then right after, it carried a huge ssh of green sma as it once again ripped out of the other side of the Desert Tarant’s body!
There were also two red damage coefficients!
“-5033!”
“-1256!”
A lethal damage, a concluding attack!
Desert Tarants didn’t have very strong defense, but they still had more than 9000 HP.
That spider had been finished with one shot when it still had at least two-thirds of its health?
Lying on the sand, the Light Armored Warrior had been perfectly positioned to see everything that happened. His eyes widened, and a thought appeared in his mind.
“A Sniper, and a top-tier Sniper at that!”
In War, there was only one profession that was able to deal such amazing damage in a single blow!
