The top deck of the Hux Vulture Island is a very dense collection of high-rise buildings, perfect for street fighting.

"The ghost is not gone! I've chased eight streets of labor and management! ”

Raymond hid behind cover, panting, looking a little embarrassed.

Only when the breath had subsided did he take out the hemostatic medicine and bandages from his backpack and prepare to bandage the wound.

On the outside of his right leg, near his lower back, there was a wound with flesh on the skin, which was a wound from a "split head bullet" from a musket.

The potion irritates the wound with some stinging, like the sensation of burning a knife and scraping the throat. One poured down, and the blood and potion ran down his thighs, staining the ground red.

Raymond gasped hissed.

He looked at the wound on his thigh, apparently still haunting the shot. If it weren't for the fact that he had used up all his potential points and raised [Hostile Perception] to two levels, that shot would have killed him.

It's that mysterious sniper again!

When he couldn't do a single blow, he actually tracked it down again.

He knew that this shot had hit Raymond, but instead of retreating like last time, he chose to chase after him. That's what drove him to this embarrassment.

Moreover, the musket in that guy's hand was obviously a heavy sniper with a long range, and Raymond didn't have a temper at all.

"The long-barreled musket with the longest range in my hand now has an accurate range of less than 500 meters, and the accurate range of the musket of the guy on the opposite side is at least a thousand meters! If you want to win with marksmanship, you don't have the slightest chance of winning..."

Shop around!

Raymond looked at the pile of muskets in his package, and felt like he had taken a bunch of burning sticks, which were completely useless at this point.

Usually he is equipped to crush others, but now he has finally tried the feeling of being crushed by other people's equipment.

The Musket Sniper is an ultra-long-range attack class, and it is difficult to ambush him as a swordsman who will not easily expose himself to a dangerous distance that a swordsman can charge.

The most terrifying thing is that the sniper also has an unknown tracking method, which can pinpoint the location of Raymond's hiding place at all times, so that he can always hang behind him from near and far, and find an opportunity to shoot cold shots from time to time.

The enemy is dark and I am bright,

Raymond is now in a dilemma.

This is typical professional restraint, as long as the sniper does not rush to close the distance, the melee swordsman will not be able to help him at all.

It is impossible to ambush the other party stupidly, and the long-range combat equipment can't fight, and Raymond really has no way to take the guy he is chasing now!

"How the hell did that guy pinpoint my location..."

He squinted and fell into deep thought.

If you don't solve this problem, even if you escape with the help of the terrain for the time being, sooner or later you will be killed by the guy who hides in the shadows and puts a cold gun.

"The smell, the blood, the orientation bugs... There's also elemental markers and hunter-based traceability..."

In Raymond's mind, he carefully listed all the factors that could be tracked, and eliminated them one by one.

He also knew that it would be difficult to lure an experienced sniper into approaching recklessly, so he had to come up with a well-thought-out plan to kill him with one hit.

......

"Tsk... Hurt? The next shot depends on whether you can get lucky and dodge! ”

Somewhere on high ground, a sniper disguised in a dark corner is engrossed in his scope looking through the scope into cover where Raymond is hiding in the distance.

At the slightest opportunity, he pulls the trigger.

His name was Gavin Terev, the first musketeer of the Aum Academy.

If Raymond could have recognized it at a glance here, the musket in his hand also had a great history. This is the work of the famous Black Sea gunsmith Haig, the famous musket sniper "Falcon".

There are countless transcendents who have died under this musket, and Gavin has even killed several Sequence 8 masters with the "Falcon", achieving the title of Aum's first musketeer!

This is also his biggest reliance for daring to hunt down Raymond alone.

"Hmph... This guy was lucky enough to dodge two of my shots. It's been so long, and it seems that the only one who can hold on to three shots under the muzzle of the 'Falcon' is the beast-type transcendent mercenary at the peak of Sequence 8..."

Gavin licked his lips, his eyes shining with a cold glow.

I don't know if it's his own delusion, but he always feels that the guy named Raymond on the other side seems to be very familiar with the terrain of this ship island. The two of them ran away and chased each other, and it took so long... Whenever he felt a chance to shoot him, the guy always found a suitable corner to hide, using the building to cleverly block the best angle for sniping.

"Young Master Arthur's guess is really right, this guy is not only an extraordinary person, but in terms of the extraordinary ability he has shown, he is not an ordinary extraordinary person! It's a pity... When you meet me, you can't use any means. ”

Gavin was also a little glad that he had made the elemental marks in advance, and he was also fortunate that he did not underestimate the enemy. Otherwise, judging from the agility and reaction speed that guy burst out, if he acted rashly, not only would he fail to snipe, but it was very likely that he would be killed by a sudden attack.

If it weren't for the ultra-long-range heavy sniper like the "Falcon" in his hand, he really wouldn't be confident that he could kill this kind of guy with an ordinary musket.

At this time,

He suddenly saw that the icon on the black metal disk in his hand showed that there was a change, and he obviously realized something, and muttered, "Are you going to start running away again..."

If Raymond were here, he would have recognized the metal disc as the "Elemental Hound", a mid-level alchemy product that magicians like to use to track down props.

This thing is like a display disk of the radar of the previous life, the coordinates of the center of the cross are the position of the trader, and the white dot on it clearly shows the speed and direction of movement of the marked target. As long as it does not deviate from the range of perception, the trajectory is clear and there is no escape.

"Hehe... With elemental markers, you can't escape! ”

Gavin looked at the distance and direction shown on the metal plate, took a general look at the situation, put away his gun, and chased after him without hurry.

......

Finally, I chased a few more streets.

I don't know if it's because of tiredness or injury,

Gavin noticed that the moving markers on the metal disc had suddenly stopped.

"Hey, stopped..."

Gavin sneered.

You're preparing to ambush me... Or do you think you've dumped me?

The surrounding field of vision is quite wide, which is very good for sniping.

He set up his gun, and through the scope, he quickly captured Raymond's precise position.

Although he didn't see anyone, the directions shown on the metal disk of the "Elemental Hound" were clear, and the target was hidden 1,100 meters to the southwest, behind the low wall made of rubble!

"Huh... Golden opportunity! ”

Seeing the terrain clearly, Gavin's pupils shrank suddenly.

He found that the location of the stone wall where the guy named Raymond was hiding was still well chosen, and that direction was just right to subtly block most of the sniper's vision, and it might be really difficult to change to an ordinary sniper...

It's a pity that the guy miscalculated a little,

The stone wall can block ordinary muskets, but it can't stop the penetration of the "Falcon"!

"Finally got my chance!"

Gavin's eyes were beaming, and he muttered in his heart: "I thought you were lucky enough to find a hiding place without dead ends every time, but this time you were negligent... It's your time of death! ”

In the scope, Gavin could even clearly see the corners of Raymond's clothes. Although that guy has shrunk behind the stone wall, it can't change his fate of imminent death!

"Goodbye..."

Gavin exhaled slowly, a victor's smile on his lips.

He aimed his gun at the upper end of the stone wall.

As an experienced sniper, he can naturally calculate where the target's head is!

"Bang!"

Aiming at the target, Gavin did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

He was confident that he would never miss this shot.

Sure enough!

The muzzle of the gun squirted, and the huge recoil made his body tremble slightly.

In the scope, he saw that the stone wall on the opposite side was easily pierced by bullets, and suddenly exploded, and stone chips flew away!

At the same time, the bullet that pierced through the stone wall hit its target, and the scarlet plasma exploded, staining a large area of red on the rubble wall.

"Killed!"

Gavin's face was overjoyed, and after so much effort, he finally killed him.

He saw with his own eyes that the person hiding behind the wall was hit in the head, and his head exploded like a watermelon, and he would never survive!

"Hehe... You can survive until the third shot in 'Falcon' before dying, and you are still the first transcendent in Sequence 9. That's enough for you to be proud of..."

Seeing this scene, the boulder in Gavin's heart finally fell.

He put the Falcon on his back, drew his two muskets from his waist with both hands, and walked slowly towards the gravel wall.

"I don't know why Young Master Arthur attaches so much importance to this guy, and he has repeatedly told him to 'die to see the corpse'..."

At this time, Gavin's expression was extremely relaxed.

He even thought that Arthur was a little too high-minded of this Philips House Potions genius.

Even he admits that this guy named Raymond is extraordinary, but that's all.

After all, only the living are called geniuses, and the dead ... No one cares.

......

Slowly,

Gavin got closer and closer, and finally stopped beyond the stone wall.

He looked at the bloody corpse not far away and smiled contemptuously.

He just wanted to come forward and collect the spoils,

But suddenly,

He seemed to realize something, and his face changed drastically!

"That's not right! I remember that guy didn't have flaxen hair, this... How can the hair of a corpse be blonde? ”
