Chapter Seventy-Three: The Battle of the Red Well

The four anti-aircraft machine guns were completely muted after the mercury mist flew out of the four steel plates.

It was clear that the smoke that blocked the view could be removed at any time, as he had done before, but Herzog did not do that. He walked around the snow-white cocoon in the center in the smoke, as if he had a chance of victory.

"Looks like you have a companion here, what did you just say? Come on? Looks like he's a little far behind us......"

Before he could finish speaking, another steel plate flew out of the smoke and slammed into the same place where the gunshots had been fired a few minutes earlier. More than half of the steel plate was submerged under the frozen ice, and the part that was still exposed was still trembling slightly.

"Looks like it's been transferred, it's smart." Herzog applauded approvingly.

On the surface, the clouds were light and breezy, but Herzog focused every ounce of attention on hearing. The moment the fog cleared before, he saw clearly the shotgun robbery on Li Su's back. He didn't know why he didn't use it in the first place, but if it didn't work, he could have discarded it, which meant that it was a killer move for himself. Once the fog clears, you may be at a disadvantage if you lack a long-range attack. Instead of taking the risk, find him in the smoke and kill him with one hit.

The most suitable method for auditory positioning is to lure the other person to speak.

"You were in such a hurry just now, that means you weren't going to let him play, right? Seems to be a very obedient person, huh? Even if you let him dodge, will he really be obedient? I suggest you go and determine his location first. Herzog spoke slowly.

"Not in a hurry at all? Looks like you've given him a mission to join us in the battle. Since it's weaker than us, it's only a long-range attack, right? "Another steel plate flew out of the mercury mist, smashing a gap in the circular saw several meters wide on the high platform.

"I guessed wrong again, but I can guess many times before the fog clears, and we still have a lot of time."

"No need to guess, I'm here." Two gunshots rang out from the front, but instead of bullets, two fire dragons were discharged. The long cone-shaped flames engulfed Herzog in an instant, and the surrounding mercury mist evaporated. The field of vision is no longer restricted, which means that a new battle has begun.

Kotono's eyelids are slightly closed to avoid the impact of instantaneous light sources. The moment the fog cleared, she had locked on to Herzog, and the dragon's figure clearly appeared in the center of the scope. She aimed at the center of Herzog's body, and for the Philosopher's Stone she didn't have to hit the vital point, as long as it did, it would be fatal.

But she always felt that something was wrong...... What details did she overlook...... The most important thing for a sniper is the details, and often the smallest details can help them find the deadly bullet fired by their target. Naturally, Kotono has also trained in this area, but I don't know if "Winter" has made her a lot sluggish, and she hasn't found that detail..... She couldn't be wrong, and her instincts were always accurate.

Color?

Shape?

Lines?

Shade?

Contour?

None of them are right.

Sound?

Touch?

Not right either.

Smell? Smell...... Smell! It's the smell!

Winter also suppressed her olfactory nerves, and it was only now that she could distinguish the smell that had been lingering on the tip of her nose, the smell of alcohol...... Vodka!!

She remembered that before leaving the safety cabin, Li Su had taken out the wine jar and drank it all! She frowned when she smelled the alcohol, feeling a little sorry that she didn't have time to ask him when he started drinking. The smell of vodka in the mask means..... It's not a spare face shield at all! He only has this one!

And he is now in a state of three blood explosions, and mercury is also highly poisonous to him!

The momentary excitement of her emotions made her almost pull the trigger, but she held back. Now he can't be impulsive, and only by killing Herzog can he save him!

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up...... She whispered silently, the muzzle of the gun as calm as water.

As if hearing her call, Li Su changed his stance and knelt halfway away from Herzog when he was fifteen meters away. This is the moment before the shooting, and the moment when Herzog is engrossed, and this is the best chance! Kotono didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

Bullet out of the chamber. The part of this war that is determined by humans is over, and then there is the part that belongs to inorganic matter, the part that belongs to gravity, air resistance, and the muzzle velocity of the bullet. All human strategy, training, and manipulation will end here, and the bullets will charge at the enemy instead of the sword-wielding soldier. The speed of the bullet is several times the speed of sound, and the ancient samurai were proud to hear the sound and distinguish the position in the face of this speed, which is a new era of warfare.

Herzog couldn't see or hear the muzzle flames, but he actually smiled, and it was a smile that had succeeded in his plan. He stomped his foot hard, and a steel plate lying on the ground rose from the ground with the help of leverage, blocking the deadly trajectory. Anything mixed with dragon blood, including dragon scales, could not stop the philosopher's stone by even a millimeter, but the steel plate was just an inorganic matter, and in front of it, the philosopher's stone was no different from an ordinary stone. The Philosopher's Stone smashed into pieces on this uninvited guest, and Kotono, who was in charge of the killing, weakly released the sniper rifle in his hand, his face pale.

"It seems that you don't know yet, but to the pure-blooded dragons, the disgusting smell of the Philosopher's Stone is something that is obvious and cannot be more obvious." Herzog's smile grew brighter: "I can detect the little girl you arranged by this smell, and I can also smell that there is no philosopher's stone in the barrel of your gun!" Is this your last killer feature? ”

The celestial clouds in Herzog's hand pulled out a beautiful sword flower.

"Then you're.... Go to hell! ”

He sprinted at high speed and pointed directly at Li Su, who had not yet fired.
