"Shoulong!"
Situ roared furiously.
A young man with a buzz cut and two daggers decapitated a Black-Toothed Rat in one strike and quickly ran over.
"Leader!"
Yi Shoulong's eyes were calm. It was impossible to tell that he had already killed several Black-Toothed Rats in less than a minute.
As Situ's direct subordinate, although Yi Shoulong also had the Combat Domain superpower, his core ability was not the Combat Domain, but the Mystic Domain!
"Lock onto Xu Kui's position. I want to kill him!"
Si Tu's eyes were filled with lava flames. The appearance of the Depraved Black-Toothed Rats would definitely cause a huge number of casualties in Blackstone Town. This gathering point might even be destroyed because of this. To others, it might only be a matter of changing a gathering point, but to Si Tu, he would not only lose Blackstone Town, but also two Blackstone Mines!
Those were the capital he needed to step into Rank 3 in the future, or even beyond that!
Yi Shoulong's eyes suddenly became hollow. He looked around with his hollow eyes and suddenly locked onto a two-story building not far away.
"Over there!" Yi Shoulong pointed at a room on the second floor of the building.
Situ pulled out Skull Crusher from his waist. This was a mechanical weapon that all the Wilderness Hunters in Blackstone Town coveted and feared. In Situ's hands, it looked especially ferocious.
The ferocious black barrel and the terrifying 15mm caliber brought about great lethality, but it also had a powerful recoil that was comparable to Death Reaper. The number of people in Blackstone Town who had the ability to use Skull Crusher could be counted on one hand.
If a normal person forcefully fired a shot, they would only shatter their own shoulder.
Skull Crusher coupled with the armor-piercing bullets made by Master Luo allowed Situ to kill most Rank 2 Extraordinaires with one shot.
Situ began to speed up towards the building where Xu Kui was hiding. Every step he took left a circle of cracks on the ground. His running speed suddenly increased. After five steps, Situ's sprinting speed had reached 40 km/h. He was like a rampaging tank, mercilessly crushing everything in his path.
When Situ approached the building, a Black-Toothed Rat suddenly rushed over. Situ did not dodge and stepped on the Black-Toothed Rat's head, stomping it into the ground. The Black-Toothed Rat's head shattered like a watermelon. Half of its body was stomped into the ground, black blood spurting out like a waterfall.
Using the momentum from the stomp, Situ suddenly sprinted and leaped up like a cannonball. He crossed more than ten meters in the air and shot towards the tightly shut window on the second floor.
The combination of Tier 2 strength and Tier 2 speed allowed Si Tu to charge forward like a ferocious beast out of its cage!
The Wilderness Hunters could not help but gulp at the sight of this. The strength that Situ Chong displayed was more terrifying than most of the Class 2 insectoids they had encountered. He was practically a killing machine in human form.
* Crash! *
The glass window on the second floor shattered. Countless shards of glass flew everywhere, but it did not leave a single mark on Situ!
Yi Shoulong only took a glance and continued to kill the Black-Toothed Rats with his dagger. He had no intention of helping. As Situ's confidant, he knew Situ's strength better than anyone else. Although Xu Kui had enslaved a Shadow Lizard, he was no match for Situ.
This was the reason why Situ had allowed him to form factions in Blackstone Town.
* Boom! *
Situ had not even entered the room for two seconds when a hole suddenly appeared in the wall of the room. It was as if someone had fired a cannon at the wall from inside the room.
Broken stones fell like rain. Xu Kui, who was wrapped in shadows, flew out from the hole.
His eyes were still filled with disbelief and fear. He did not expect Situ to find him so quickly and to be so terrifyingly powerful.
Before Xu Kui landed, Situ jumped down from the hole again. While he was still in the air, the ferocious muzzle of Skull Crusher was already aimed at the falling Xu Kui!
* Bang! *
The air in front of the muzzle was compressed to the point of condensing. The silver-white armor-piercing bullet pierced through the condensed air and shot toward Xu Kui.
* Roar! *
Xu Kui let out a low roar. Borrowing the power of the Shadow Lizard, his body temporarily merged with the shadows again. He quickly turned into a formless shadow and fled in all directions. He no longer had the courage to face Situ head-on.
It was not until the two sides had completely fallen out that Xu Kui realized the difference in strength between him and Situ. If it were not for the Xu family's support, he would not be able to do anything to Situ with his own strength. This was the true strength of an awakened who could occupy a gathering point in the wilderness.
Xu Kui fled in all directions while Situ chased after him. Fortunately, the Shadow Lizard's ability was just as strong. Although it could not face Situ head-on, it could be used to escape. Even Situ would have a hard time catching up to him. In addition, the Black-Toothed Rats were wreaking havoc everywhere.
The battle had spread to every corner of Blackstone Town.
Outside Blackstone Town, Xu Xiaoshuang, who had just escaped from the cave, had tears on her face. She looked at the pitch-black underground cave she had just escaped from and felt her heart thump violently. Although Xu Kui did not come out, she knew very well that she did not have the strength to go back and rescue him, even if she also had a few Second Order abilities.
The same ability, in the hands of different people, could display different strengths. In the hands of others, these abilities could be used to kill people. In the hands of others, these abilities could only be used for fun.
"I will avenge you!
I will definitely avenge you! "
Xu Xiaoshuang swore in her heart as she turned the key, activating the Iron Wolf left behind by Xu Kui.
It was an 80% new motorcycle. After being modified by the mechanics of Quicksand Shelter, not only did it have a greater range than most motorcycles, but it was also incredibly powerful. It could easily outrun a Corrupt Wolf, a predator with a Grade 1 speed enhancement, in the wilderness.
Rumble!
Just as the engine roared, the sound of another motorcycle approaching suddenly came from outside the cave. After a sharp screech of brakes, the wheels of the motorcycle screeched against the gravel.
"The thing you want is inside!" A somewhat rigid male voice came from outside.
"Here?"
Someone was coming!
Moreover, there were two people!
Xu Xiaoshuang did not have time to think about how the hidden cave Xu Kui had chosen could be discovered by others. She quickly twisted the throttle and rushed out of the cave.
No matter who it was outside, she had to leave immediately!
The Iron Wolf roared as it rushed out of the cave. Soon, Xu Xiaoshuang saw the appearance of the people outside.
A bald man in a gray combat suit was riding a motorcycle and stopped not far from the entrance of the cave.
The other person was a battered and exhausted man who looked like a refugee. In his hand was a revolver with a sinister caliber as he slowly walked over.
Although it was only a glance, Xu Xiaoshuang still recognized this battered man. It was the toy she wanted — Qi Yuan.
Didn't he go to clean up the mine? Why was he here?
Qi Yuan's eyes also had a trace of surprise. After coming out of the mine, of the three trucks that were parked outside, other than the one that Xu Kui drove away, the other two had their tires punctured and could not be started. Just as he was about to walk back to Black Stone Town, a motorcycle suddenly appeared.
The driver was the bald man beside Master Luo. When the bald man saw Qi Yuan, he immediately expressed his intentions. Master Luo asked him to pick up Qi Yuan and let him drive him to collect the motorcycle.
After confirming that the other party had no ill intentions, Qi Yuan brought the loot onto the motorcycle. It included two mechanical arms, two Zhanmadao, one Death Reaper, two Eagles, and one Butcher.
As for the Scaled Snake and Black Scorpion corpses, although they were also valuable, they were difficult to carry so they could only be given up.
These loot weighed more than 50 kilograms. If it was not for the bald man's appearance, Qi Yuan was even prepared to throw away the heavy Death Reaper sniper rifle.
Sitting on the motorcycle, Qi Yuan originally thought that Master Luo had already prepared the items for the trade. Only when he saw Xu Xiaoshuang appear on the motorcycle did he realize that Xu Xiaoshuang's motorcycle was the trade item for him.
This scene made Qi Yuan think of an ancient profession from the olden days!
Although it was shameful to be a freeloader, Qi Yuan did not want to let such a motorcycle slip away from his eyes. The moment he heard the motorcycle's engine roar, he knew that the motorcycle's performance was not bad. It even far exceeded his expectations.
Without thinking, Qi Yuan raised the weapon in his hand.
As for the other people on the motorcycle, he did not even consider them. The other party was Xu Kui's people. He would just shoot and be done with it.
Especially this "Yi Xiao Shuang". She had even tried to use [Charm] to control him. If he was not afraid of Xu Kui, she would have died the night before!
Without any prelude or explanation, Qi Yuan directly aimed at Xu Xiaoshuang who had suddenly appeared in front of him and pulled the trigger in his hand.
Not the Flying Eagle, but the Butcher!
With a large caliber, the support of Firearms Mastery and the powerful destructive power of the Annihilation Warhead, Qi Yuan's shot was a sure-kill.
Before walking out of the mine, Qi Yuan had already made a decision. He fused with a firearm and used his talent points to activate the Firearms Mastery talent.
Firearms Mastery's support for bullet accuracy was not as strong as Aim, but it could allow people to skillfully control various firearms, such as the Butcher and Death Reaper!
This was the important driving force behind Qi Yuan's choice. With the proliferation of firearms in the new era and the appearance of various mechanical weapons, Firearms Mastery could fully unleash the power of these weapons.
Yi Xiao Shuang watched as a bullet wrapped in gray light flew out of the Butcher's muzzle. It tore through the air and flew towards her forehead. An irresistible destructive force and impact came from her forehead.
Finally, there was endless darkness!
Xu Xiaoshuang fell from the Iron Wolf in a sorry state. After rolling a few times on the ground, she lay on her back, twitching. Her face was filled with disbelief and fear. There was a deep bullet hole in the middle of her forehead that looked like a dark red cinnabar.
Seeing Xu Xiaoshuang die in one shot, the expressionless bald man's pupils constricted. He seemed to be surprised, but he quickly regained his indifferent expression.
"There wasn't a headshot. Did she also have Enhanced Defense?"
Qi Yuan frowned slightly. The Rock Armored Lizard, Scaled Snake, and Luo Kui had used their lives to prove the power of the Annihilation Warhead. Even if it was an ordinary handgun, the bullet augmented by the Annihilation Warhead should have been able to produce a headshot. Together with the Butcher's powerful augmentation, Xu Xiaoshuang should have been instantly headshot.
"She awakened Enhanced Defense. Stage 2!" The bald man said indifferently.
"Stage 2?" Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised.
He had instantly killed a stage 2 Beyonder?
Was a stage 2 Enhanced Defense that weak?
Why couldn't it even block a stage 1 Annihilation Warhead?
Was the Butcher too powerful?
Or was there a problem with my ability?
Qi Yuan suddenly thought of his Steel Defense. The defensive augmentation it provided seemed to be much stronger than a stage 1 Enhanced Defense. Could it be that the Annihilation Warhead was the same, half a level stronger than an ordinary stage 1 Beyonder ability?
"She is Xu Kui's sister. The Hunter's Guild has placed a bounty on her head. The bounty is a stage 2 Ability Potion!" The bald man said.
How did Yi Xiaoshuang become Xu Kui's sister?
She wasn't Yi Xiaoshuang!
She was Xu Xiaoshuang!
F * * k!
He had been scammed!
Although the Xu family had fallen, the Xu family was definitely not all dead. This could be determined from the Hunter's Guild's bounty. If he used Xu Xiaoshuang's head to exchange for the bounty, the news would definitely reach the ears of the other Xu family members.
A faction that even Situ feared was not something a wandering stage 1 Beyonder like him could deal with even if it had fallen. This was not a bounty from the Hunter's Guild, but a bomb that could explode at any time.
As for a stage 2 Ability Potion, it did not appeal to Qi Yuan who had the Talent Tree. Using any Ability Potion had the possibility of a genetic breakdown, and the Talent Tree's abilities were much stronger without any side effects.
"This motorcycle is a pain in the ass. Get me another one!"
"Master Luo doesn't have any other motorcycles, only this one." The bald man said as he spread out his hands.
So you want to get a free ride?
Qi Yuan looked at the bald man with an unfriendly expression. Just as he was considering if he should shoot the bald man and snatch the motorcycle, the bald man suddenly said,
"I can help you modify it. I won't let anyone associate the modified motorcycle with Xu Xiaoshuang."
Qi Yuan nodded. Luo Kui had already been killed by him, and Xu Xiaoshuang had also died under his gun. If he could not even drive this motorcycle away, it would be a real loss.
Qi Yuan glanced at the motorcycle that had fallen to the ground, picked up the black bag behind it, and threw it to the bald man's side.
"I'll drive your motorcycle. You can change it back when you're done modifying it!"
The bald man glanced at the bullet hole between Xu Xiaoshuang's brows and silently got down from the side of the motorcycle. He walked over to help the motorcycle that had fallen to the ground.
Qi Yuan stepped onto the old side of the motorcycle and started it skillfully. He then turned the throttle, and with the roar of the engine, a cloud of dust was instantly kicked up as the motorcycle sped towards Blackstone Town.
Not long after the two left, a black-toothed rat with pitch-black pupils poked its head out of the cave. It glanced at the two figures before quickly disappearing into the cave.
