Chapter 507: Energy Booster
“F*ck!” In the other team, the Scout player was grim upon receiving the message of his pet’s death.
“He actually really sniped it, how on earth did he lure your Wind Eagle down?” The Sniper player had a look of shock.
“No matter what, this person is definitely an expert. The Wind Eagle’s speed is extremely fast, plus it would be in the state of accelerating downward, and the speed reduction of the bullet flying towards the sky is too fast, I definitely wouldn’t have too much grasp on accurately hitting it. No way, you don’t normally praise people very often? Did this Sniper make you feel the pressure, don’t lose your confidence in the battle later?” The Nine Star Guild Machine Gunner player said to the Sniper with a smile.
“I’m not interested in battles with no difficulty at all. I can’t say about air sniping, after all I’ve never trained before. But if it’s sniping on land, I’ve never been afraid of anyone before.” The Sniper player looked enthusiastic in battling, raising the sniper rifle in his hands.
“Don’t show-off, I remember that someone’s battle statistics seldom had a win against Thousand Mile Clash.” The Fire Manipulator deliberately exposed him.
“Thousand Mile is a very great Sniper. It’s a pity he failed in that battle with Invikill, causing him to make a statement about choosing to temporarily back out of the game. Perhaps he would never appear again. Wait and I’ll go experience that Invikill’s invisibility too, I’ll see whether the Force is really that superior.” The Sniper looked a little regretful.
“Alright, stop dwelling on it. The people on the other side look hard to deal with, let’s all show a little something this round.” The Scout with his pet one-shot killed looked pretty grim as he spoke coldly.
Inside the submachine gun in his hands, a magazine of high-grade special bullets had been loaded with a click.
The five players started running towards the oasis at the center.
……
As these people started running, Feng Luo and his group on the other side were similarly speedily making their way towards the direction of the oasis.
Within the five of them, every profession had a speed-up skill, even Blown By The Wind possessed a Wind speed skill – their overall speed was not slow.
After climbing over an area of tooth-shaped sand dunes, the oasis at the center of the map had already appeared in the field of view of the five of them after just six minutes.
This was a small oasis with a diameter of around 300 meters; most of it was shrouded in dense weed growth of less than two feet, and scattered with some sparse but tall trees.
There was also a body of water around 60 to 70 meters wide at the center of this oasis – many oases in deserts formed near water.
“Prince doesn’t smell any strangers, seems like the people on the other side shouldn’t have reached yet – we’ve secured the head start.” Blown By The Wind said, pointing at the Desert Rock Lizard emerging from the sand at the edge of the oasis.
The geographical setting of this kind of semi-circle sand dune resulted in a limitation in the field of view of both sides; unless one entered the close proximity around the oasis, there would be no way of directly seeing the opposition.
However, this limitation was completely nonexistent to Feng Luo.
“They need at least another 30 seconds to arrive. The team is made up of a Heavy Armored Warrior, a Fire Manipulator, and three different Gunner professions. This combination’s firepower would be crazy.” Standing at the top of this sand dune, Feng Luo spoke with his eyes blanked out. “Y’all head down first, find a place to hide.”
Feng Luo kept his gaze from the Mental Link with the faraway Scout beetles and spoke to the others.
“Old Feng, you’re not coming with us?” When the Gigolo and the Scout did not have the chance to ask how Feng Luo had obtained the information about the opponent, Big Pineapple had already understood Feng Luo’s intention and asked cluelessly.
“Nope, to a Sniper, a suitable sniping position is the most important – the oasis environment below isn’t suitable for me.” Feng Luo said and shook his head.
The position of the oasis was too low; upon observing, he realized that there was no suitable sniping position below.
Rather, it was this relatively higher sand dune which was very suitable for sniping.
He guessed that the opponent’s Sniper would have made the same decision as him.
“You’ll continuously lose health if you stay here, and with the restriction of only one blood tonic usable, what if you lose too much health later on?” Hearing Feng Luo, the Gigolo temporarily could not be concerned about asking about the opponent, but spoke with his forehead creased.
He was not deliberately targeting Feng Luo; it was because the continuous increase in percentage health reduction DEBUFF on the map – the health reduced per second was now beyond the players’ own recovery.
If they stayed outside the oasis, they would continuously lose health.
If this PK went into a deadlock at the end, when the two parties needed to depend on percentage health to compete, all this deducted health would affect the last victory.
“Don’t worry, it would be possible for our health to be deducted clean, Old Feng definitely wouldn’t be deducted clean before us.” Big Pineapple laughed wretchedly as he held up his reddish-black Alloy Shield, engaged Charge and rushed down towards the oasis below.
“Remind me once the opponent attacks up to the caution point, Leader Feng.” Phoenix blinked at Feng Luo and similarly engaged Charge as she ran down.
Behind her, the round semi-transparent Jelly rolled down after her like a ball.
After, Gigolo and Blown By The Wind could only follow them down with a heap of doubt.
“Mm, with such a distance, this can be attached.” Feng Luo lay on his belly behind the sand dune, the blackish-grey Barrett in his hands already turned into the yellow of the desert by a layer of one-time use Paint-Grade Desert Camouflage.
After which, he took out an item from his Agent Backpack against the sand dune.
It was a mechanical item like a metallic block, and with “click,” the object was attached onto the T-shaped brake at the front section of Barrett’s gun barrel.
[Energy Booster]
Grade: Special
Included attribute: increases bullet speed after ejection by 50% (allowed usage quantity of B-Grade Energy Crystals: 495/500).
Required Level: Level 50
Even if he had not used the two Energy beetles as bait earlier on, he might not have been unable to hit the Wind Eagle over 700 meters high in the sky.
With Barrett’s shooting together with Energy bullets, plus the effect of the external piece on this sniper rifle, it would definitely have been capable of reaching that height.
However, as the height was indeed a bit high, the bullet would have spent not just two seconds of time till then – the hit guarantee would be too low. Thus, Feng Luo had chosen the other method.
But now, the effect of this thing could be tested.
As for the origin of this thing, it was produced from the Tyrant T-100 killed at the underground base of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group – it was an extremely rare sniper rifle external part.
After attaching the Energy Booster, Feng Luo quickly buried Barrett completely into the sand, while he also sank in, beginning the wait for the opponent’s arrival.
