Chapter 70: Hidden worries

Views:

Suddenly there was a gust of gunshots on the top of the cliff, where Tashi set up a large-caliber old-fashioned heavy machine gun, and was desperately pouring metal barrage on the werewolf. The werewolf who had just rushed out of the cave was beaten up and down, with blood constantly blooming on his body.

But werewolves have rough skin and thick flesh. At this distance, it is difficult for heavy machine guns to break their bones and cause truly fatal injuries. These werewolves only suffer some flesh injuries at most. To kill a werewolf completely, you still need an atomic gun or simply melee.

But what Tashi has to do is to stop the werewolf so that his companions can escape from the valley smoothly. In the blink of an eye, Tashi emptied four full boxes of ammunition, and the barrel of the heavy machine gun turned red and could no longer be used. And Yu Yingnan, Qianye and the others had already left the valley and rushed to the scheduled assembly point.

Tashi threw down the gunpowder heavy machine gun, finished his work, and ran away along the previously reserved back road.

More werewolves poured out of the cave, and the howls of angry wolves continued. However, continuous explosions sounded in the valley immediately, and the traps set by Tashi were triggered one by one, and the werewolf who rushed out first was immediately blown upside down.

Soon, members of the entire hunter team gathered at the gathering place. The howling of the werewolf in the distance and the sound of galloping through the air approached in an instant.

Zhaxi immediately launched a small four-wheeled off-road truck, added black crystal powder into the combustion chamber, and the number on the power meter quickly climbed crazily. The off-road truck began to roar and tremble, then bumped and drove towards Dark Blood City.

Tashi drove, while Qianye and the others got into the rear compartment. Li Lunzhe took out a second-level force gun and aimed it at the rear of the car. Yu Yingnan and Yang Tian were busy dealing with the wounds, while Qianye seized the time to run the army, and it was enough to recover a little force.

Li Lunzhe was expressionless, but his eyes were very gloomy. When he was in the wolf's lair just now, he almost made a move. If it wasn't for Qianye's sudden cry, the knife would have pierced Yu Yingnan's back, and then hit Yang Tian who was also defenseless, and he would have fled alone.

At that time, Yu Yingnan and Yang Tian, who were seriously injured by accident, are definitely not opponents of the pack of wolves. After Li Lunzhe escapes from the wolf den, it will be easy to kill that technical idiot Tashi.

But when Qianye won the totem at an unexpected speed, Li Lunzhe couldn't help hesitating for a moment, and then lost the opportunity.

A few black figures appeared at the end of his field of vision, which were werewolves chasing after him. The werewolves quickly closed the distance between them and the off-road truck. In their eyes, this truck with a speed of no more than 40 kilometers per hour was equal to a turtle crawling. Li Lunzhe calmed down, focused on aiming at the werewolf rushing forward, and only pulled the trigger when it was within 100 meters!

A ball of blue light flew out from the gun, just hitting the wolf's head, causing the werewolf to do somersaults in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. Seeing blood and broken internal organs splattered everywhere, Li Lunzhe felt that the evil fire in his heart subsided a little.

Two force guns protruded from his left and right sides, aiming at the werewolves who were chasing. Those were Qianye and Yang Tian, they had recovered a bit of their force, and they were barely able to fire another shot.

The gunshot rang out, and two werewolves flew out in response, pulling out a line of blood and throwing it heavily on the ground.

The six werewolves who were chasing were reduced by half in one fell swoop. The rest of the werewolves immediately slowed down, not daring to get close to the truck, and only ran outside the shooting range of the original force gun, waiting for the arrival of the large group of werewolves.

The two sides chased and fled, and soon approached the place where Qianye met the mysterious black-robed man.

The werewolves suddenly became agitated, and many of them stopped, looked around vigilantly, and kept whimpering in fear. Among them, those who followed in the shape of a wolf had their neck hairs standing on end.

More and more werewolves slowed down, and they began to whisper. A few particularly huge ones sniffed the night wind vigorously, turned around suddenly, and ran at full speed with their tails tightly tucked together. The rest followed one after another, and they ran clean after a while.

The sudden withdrawal of the werewolves made Yu Yingnan and others look at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what happened, so they could only be fully alert. There are not many dangers in the wasteland that can hold a werewolf back.

Qianye speculated that it might have something to do with the mysterious man in black, but he didn't think it would be a good thing to spread the word.

After that, the four of them went all the way without incident, and they returned to Dark Blood City safely. The task was quickly handed over. It is said that this totem was highly evaluated by the commissioner of the Imperial Research Institute stationed in the expeditionary corps, so the originally agreed reward of one hundred gold coins was doubled to two hundred. Thirty percent of these bounties will be handed over to the hunter's family, and the rest will be divided among the people.

This good news lifted the spirits of the team members. Most of the hunters are very poor. Unlike the fixed mercenaries, they are not provided with basic equipment, and most of their income is used to update equipment and weapons. If you don't have enough strength in the wasteland, you will die sooner or later.

Because of Qianye's unexpectedly excellent performance in the task, he was allocated forty gold coins, which was significantly higher than the average level. But this time Li Lunzhe didn't say anything, his face just became gloomy. After distributing the rewards, he left in a hurry.

Yang Tian and Tashi also bid farewell, leaving Yu Yingnan and Qianye to stay at the Hunter's House.

"Want to have a drink?" Yu Yingnan said.

Qianye shook his head and said, "No, I'm going back to rest."

"Then I'll see you again in two days."

This time Qianye nodded and did not refuse.

After Qianye returned to his residence, he checked the inside and outside, and found no signs of intrusion except for a few bloodstains on the top and corners of the courtyard wall. It seems that those sneaky guys finally became smart after suffering a lot, and knew to avoid this dangerous small building.

Qianye closed the door, and immediately rushed into the kitchen frantically, dug out all the food that could be eaten, and munched hard. He ate all the stored food, and didn't stop until his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

The feeling of fullness dilutes Qianye's desire for blood.

It started from the second half of rushing out of the wolf's lair, perhaps because of the exhaustion of the original force, when the werewolf's blood splattered, Qianye once again felt the long-lost desire for blood. It was different from the hunger and thirst that burned his mind before, he was absolutely awake, but the flying blood droplets exuded a delicacy rich in energy, tempting people to taste it.

Qianye pressed his head and smiled wryly, he vaguely guessed what was going on. For vampires, blood sucking is a shortcut to restore physical strength and heal injuries. After he obtained the blood physique, he even inherited this basic racial talent. After taking military stimulants, he was able to easily suppress his hunger and thirst, and now he didn't have the burning pain of being corroded all over his body after the hunger and thirst passed.

Qianye didn't dwell on this issue for a long time. After washing off his dust, he decided to go to the Hunter's House to see what equipment he could buy. Strong strength is the guarantee of survival, and now he has a lot of troubles.

Second Master was still sitting behind the counter reading a book. When Qianye walked into the hall, he raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Qianye, and then turned his gaze back to the page.

The Hunter's House is very lively today. The two tables in the hall are almost full, and there are seven or eight hunters sitting there. The originally small space immediately looks a bit crowded.

The hunters are chatting about recent events and exchanging information from their adventures. However, Qianye heard some things in common from their topics. For example, recently, dark creatures have become extremely anxious and violent. Even some creatures with a relatively docile personality have repeatedly attacked adventurers. Rumors of hunter and mercenary casualties.

Qianye keenly felt that these hunters were a little uneasy.

Qianye walked to the counter and asked, "Second Lord, when can I be promoted to a two-star hunter?"

The second master said without raising his head: "When you accumulate enough rewards of one hundred gold coins, you can be promoted. Not yet."

"Okay. Now I want to take another look at what's available for purchase."

Second Master nodded, called out Xiaomi, and took Qianye to the warehouse to pick out equipment. It's still the same warehouse, but now every weapon and equipment is completely different in Qianye's eyes.

After the blood clan battle in the werewolf cave, Qianye found that he was suddenly infatuated with this feeling.

Originally at the same level, the human race was at a disadvantage compared with most dark races. Werewolves are a race known for their strength, so when they face humans, their instinctive reaction is to rely on strength to win. However, when they met the more powerful Qianye, they were defeated very quickly.

Qianye was originally known for his strength among the red scorpions, although his figure was not particularly outstanding. After getting the blood physique bonus, this strength has been further improved, and it is already comparable to a fifth-level soldier. Powerful, it will undoubtedly take advantage of melee combat.

Originally, when Qianye was selecting weapons, he mainly focused on the force gun and related accessories, but this time various melee combat weapons particularly attracted his attention. Qianye picked up a piece of armor, kept trying it, and then put it back. At last he took a piece of armor and played with it over and over again.

Equipped on the forearm, this metal armor has good protection, and its heavy weight makes it a terrifying blunt weapon when swung. In addition, it has a standard card slot on the surface, which can be installed with weapons such as saber ribs. There is also a small force array attached to the armor. If the force is input, it can form a layer of shield, which can resist the medium-range attack of the first-level force gun.

Qianye is very satisfied with this arm armor, its only shortcoming is that it weighs ten kilograms. However, considering Qianye's current strength, this weight can be completely ignored.

There are two stars on this arm armor, which is equipment that can only be exchanged for two-star hunters. If Qianye wants to exchange in advance, he needs to pay an additional 20% of the price. In addition to the arm armor, Qianye picked out a few more armor plates made from the shells of crypt spiders, and prepared to install them on important parts of his armor. This is an effective and cheap way to upgrade armor.

These things cost more than 30 gold coins, and the most expensive part is naturally the arm armor driven by the force.

After walking out of the warehouse, Qianye walked to the counter again and said, "I have some equipment, can someone modify it?"

Second Master finally put down his book reluctantly, walked to a separate studio next to him, motioned for Qianye to come in, and closed the door.

What Qianye took out was the tactical accessories of Flowing Gold Rose, including a scope, an energy storage device that can amplify the bombardment power, and a noise reduction device.

"I would like to modify these accessories so that they can be used on the 'Assaulter' rifle."

The second master picked up these accessories, looked at them carefully, and said, "These are standard parts made by the blood race, and the workmanship is quite good. They were originally the matching accessories for your golden rose, right?"

"You know about it?"
