Fatal Shot - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Sniping with a Forest in Between

Three players! Moreover, they did not look weak and were confident enough to kill a Hunter together!

Moreover, the third Sniper player appeared to be a wealthy player. He kept shooting those shield-breaking energy bullets with blue glow toward the T-750 Hunter on the beach, showing no intention of being economical. Although he wasn’t very accurate—and could not hit the same spot twice to directly break the alloy armor of the T-750 like Feng Luo—as long as he was willing to spend these bullets that cost at least 500 credits per round, no matter how tough the defense, he would be able to break it eventually!

Also, his “low accuracy” was only in comparison to Feng Luo. Truth be told, one should know that it was practically impossible for normal players to hit the spot twice with a margin of error of less than one or two centimeters on a target that was constantly moving! There must have been fewer than 50 people capable of doing something like that throughout War!

It was already pretty amazing that the Sniper player could hit the body of the T-750 with every shot in this battle. In War, there also existed many Snipers who blamed others when their bullets flew astray. After all, the profession had charms of its own and attracted many players to choose it!

Three people, and the location of the ambush is also very good. No wonder they kept “running away” just now. Feng Luo frowned as he held the Barrett. The truth is, they were just luring the Hunter there!

The beach where the battle was ongoing was a small peninsula; one side faced the forest while the other three sides faced the ocean, and it was quite similar to the beach Feng Luo had first landed on!

This also meant that the only direction he and Big Pineapple could utilize, were they to attack these three, would be from the forest. The problem was, the forest blocked his field of vision. Long-range professions like Manipulators and Machine Gunners would have zero chance of succeeding.

Big Pineapple heard the gunshots and looked impatiently at Feng Luo. “Old Feng, it looks like they’ve started. Are we going in or not?”

After all, this concerned his Special Agent profession change mission!

“You head there first. Be careful not to get discovered. Charge after I start attacking, I’ll send a few beetles with you!”

Feng Luo sent the impatient Big Pineapple there first while he set up the Barrett sniper rifle on the spot!

The opponent had definitely chosen this spot intentionally. It ensured that they wouldn’t be ambushed by others while they were fighting against the Hunter. However, on an island that was filled with death traps everywhere, there was no safe place, especially when facing the profession that possessed the greatest single-target damage and the longest attack range: the Sniper.

Compared to the location where Feng Luo had landed, the vegetation of this forest was much less dense. The distance between trees was more than five meters, leaving a lot of gaps and spaces in between.

Perhaps it would be difficult for energy attacks like fireballs or wind blades to fit through, but a sniper rifle bullet of less than one centimeter would have multiple ways of getting through!

Of course, for other Snipers, there was another important problem, which was the fact that Snipers had a high vision requirement. It was incredibly difficult to ascertain the exact location of a target with trees in the way, not to mention the fact that these targets were also moving.

But Feng Luo was different. He had a special visual field, and the positions of all three players were within his sights! For him, even in a situation where he could see nothing, he could even snipe blind!

******

Feng Luo raised the Barrett. His eyes went blank as he waited patiently for an opportunity.

24K, who was on his shoulder, did not move. The two Bladed Beetles and a Scout Beetle that were freshly summoned waited loyally around him. Meanwhile, Big Pineapple was already running toward the battlefield a couple of hundred meters away with a few Bladed Beetles under the cover of the night sky!

As for the three players on the beach, they had gained the advantage in the battle against the T-750 Hunter! The Earth Manipulator’s Earth Ring, Earth Wall, Earth Spike, and other skills each had extremely powerful control effects.

As a robot, although the Hunter had incredible combat strength, its heavy body lacked agility, which was one of its inherent defects. Moreover, when the Level-35 Light Armor Warrior skill, Devastating Slash, had a high level of familiarity and was paired with an alloy sword with a high attack coefficient, the defense-breaking effects of the Light Armor Warrior wouldn’t necessarily be any weaker than a sniper rifle against the T-750’s defense!

One could even say that the accuracy of the Warrior’s skill was much greater than that of a Sniper, who needed to aim and make a lot of predictions. At the very least, the Warrior’s margin of error would be smaller. As such, even if the Sniper’s accuracy was lacking, the Light Armor Warrior engaged in melee combat would be able to make up for it.

Under the flurry of attacks, creating multiple partially damaged parts on the Hunter thanks to the shield-breaking energy bullets, even the metallic body of the Hunter with its defense could not come out unscathed!

Ka!

One of the mechanical arms of the Hunter was chopped off its body and fell on the beach after the Heavy Slash skill of the Light Armor Warrior when his alloy longsword struck! However, a T-750 Hunter wouldn’t just sit idly by as it suffered attacks. A red glow came from its metallic eye sockets before its mechanical arm swung violently against the alloy shield, causing it to fly outside of the area controlled by the Earth Manipulator’s Earth Ring skill. The alloy shield flew, crashing violently against the Light Armor Warrior’s body!

Bang!

−3445

A hit that almost reached 3,500 damage reduced the Light Armor Warrior’s HP by half as he flew seven to eight meters away and landed on the beach, leaving a large crater in the sandy ground. However, the Earth Manipulator immediately cast an Earth Wall between the Warrior and the Hunter, blocking the T-750 Hunter from pursuing.

The Light Armor Warrior capitalized on the time provided by his teammate by quickly using a blood tonic on himself. Then he picked up his alloy longsword, which had fallen on the beach, before charging toward the Hunter once again.

Meanwhile, after firing a shot, the Sniper would immediately change his position during the rifle’s internal cooldown time. This was, without a doubt, a habit he had developed after a long time conducting PKs, which would make it difficult for other players to aim at him.

However, at the moment, this habitual action increased the likelihood of him getting shot by Feng Luo.

******

“Come on, guys; we’re almost done!”

After just over a dozen seconds, the Hunter was at a disadvantage in the battle on the beach. After all, the three players weren’t weak. Plus, their professions complemented each other.

If this had been a one-on-one fight, the Hunter would definitely have slaughtered them, but when it was one versus three—when it only had an alloy shield as its weapon—its insane strength could not be fully utilized!

Clang!

The sound of clashing metal rang in the air. The other arm of the Hunter, as well as the heavily damaged alloy shield, fell on the beach. The three players looked delighted.

Then, at that moment, the muffled sound of a gunshot rang out.

Bang!

A bluish-white bullet flew between the gaps of the branches and vegetation in the forest, traversing over 130 meters to hit the helmet of the Sniper who had changed his position after firing his last shot!

−3422

The destructive power of the Barrett paired with the shield-breaking energy bullet was frightening. The defense afforded by the Sniper’s helmet was completely broken in an instant after being shot by Feng Luo, and a red-colored fatal damage number appeared above the head of the Sniper player.
