Chapter 66: Ultra-long-range assassination
Most of the people in the camp of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hunting Group had already slept.
Only the two Inhumans in charge of the vigil were awake, each sitting in a dimly lit corner on alert, occasionally getting up to check on the war pets outside the camp.
There are three red-eyed mountain eagles in the tree, and there is a group of Qianfeng retriever dogs under the tree, one has night vision, one has a keen sense of smell, and there is a wind control eagle with a strong sense of hearing.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky.
As soon as the two Inhumans looked up, they saw three lightning bolts instantly fall into the camp, making an explosion.
Bang! Bang! Burst!
The three voices stacked on top of each other, followed by a scream.
The whole camp immediately went on like a fryer.
Everyone was awakened and ran out of the tents, and the war pets outside the camp let out a restless roar, and the falcons and blood crows flew in fright, screaming in panic in the sky.
Not long after Pei Hong fell asleep, he opened his eyes when the attack came, but he didn't have time to react.
He drew his sword at his waist and jumped up, but found no enemy.
Only Liu Yushu's tent was attacked.
Pei Hong suddenly had a bad premonition, the tent where Liu Yushu was was falling apart, but she didn't get up.
He stepped forward to uncover the tattered and fallen tent cloth, and immediately saw Liu Yushu's body, a silver-white arrow full of lightning was stuck in her left eye, pierced her brain, and nailed her to the ground, already dead.
"Captain!"
"What's going on?"
The members of the hunting group screamed, and most of them did not see the attack.
Pei Hong was also unbelievable.
Although most of the strength of the imperial master is in the war pet, his physical fitness is not strong, and his strength and defense are very average, and Liu Yushu does not get the ability to strengthen his body from the war pet, but doesn't Liu Yushu have a white jade parrot?
When the white jade parrot is attacked by its owner, it will automatically open a "white jade shield" to resist physical blows and energy damage, and its defense is comparable to that of alloy plate armor.
Liu Yushu's white jade parrot is always by her side, even when she sleeps, why doesn't she respond?
Pei Hong continued to open the tent and found a bloody charred black thing next to Liu Yushu's corpse, and two arrows stuck in the ground, surrounded by blood-stained bird feathers.
"The white jade parrot is also dead."
Pei Hong's pupils shrank, and after checking it carefully again, he roughly guessed what had happened.
A total of three arrows were fired, and the first two were aimed at the white jade parrot, and I don't know how to penetrate the white jade shield and kill it first.
Then, the third arrow gave Liu Yushu, who had lost his protection, a fatal blow.
All this happened in an instant, Liu Yushu may have just been woken up, and before she could understand what was going on, she was shot in the head with an arrow.
Pei Hong picked up an arrow, and his hand was light and hard, and there was still a trace of electric current, which made his arm numb.
"Capacitive Arrow......
He recognized this special arrow, and he had seen it today.
"That Ranger!"
Pei Hong felt a little frightened in his heart, and he was also a little afraid, so he immediately turned his head and asked, "Have you seen which direction the arrow is coming from?" "He was in the tent just now, and he only sensed danger, but he didn't know where the arrow came from.
"Over there." An Inhuman on the night vigil points in the direction of the cliff.
Smack!
Pei Hong turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared in place.
In the next second, his figure appeared a hundred meters away, and then turned into lightning again and galloped through the trees, reaching the bottom of the cliff four times in a row. Jumping into the air, an invisible air flow lifted him up, and when his strength was about to be exhausted, a transparent wall of qi condensed under his feet, like a pedal, and continued to rise with a force, and fell lightly to the top of the cliff.
Pei Hong looked around and found a few footprints on the ground, but they were all blurry.
He raised his hand and shot a beam of light upwards.
Boom!
A cloud of light exploded in the sky, instantly illuminating the space of hundreds of meters around the cliff, however, Pei Hong did not find any trace.
The light quickly dissipated and darkness returned.
Pei Hong shook his head helplessly, the combat effectiveness of the superconducting magician is very strong and comprehensive, but there is no good way to perceive the enemy.
A flame ignited in his palm, and he circled the cliff, but as expected, he found nothing.
That ranger had long since run away.
Pei Hong looked at the direction of the camp, he had a certain night vision, but he couldn't see the situation of the camp at such a distance, and he couldn't even determine the exact location of the camp.
"The distance is 430 to 460 meters."
"So far ......"
"His ether fluctuation, he should be an intermediate ranger, and the highest will not exceed the high-level, how can he shoot such a distant target?"
Pei Hong was puzzled.
Even a legendary ranger, in such a dark environment and distance, it may be difficult to kill Liu Yushu with three arrows.
However, Liu Yushu really died like this, and died inexplicably.
"Nope." Pei Hong shook his head secretly, "She died unjustly." ”
He accepted the group's arrangement to join the Seventh Regiment led by Liu Yushu for more than a year.
This super imperial master is well-born and talented, and has been held in the hands of his parents and elders since he was a child, and has developed a domineering and self-respecting style. She still knows how to be restrained on Earth, but when she leaves the city in the astral boundary, she will completely release her true nature, which can be said to be unscrupulous.
The leaders of the group arranged themselves to Liu Yushu's side, hoping to take care of her and take action if necessary, so as not to cause trouble.
However, it was useless, she didn't listen to herself at all, and still went her own way.
In the end, it was self-defeating.
Pei Hong was not sad about Liu Yushu's death, and he had no idea of avenging her.
Even, he had a hunch that this day would come sooner or later, but the headache was, how to report this to the group leaders?
Liu Yushu's father is a member of the board of directors of the group and has a strong family background, otherwise she would not be so arrogant.
"It's hard to ......"
Pei Hong turned his head to look around, sighed, and jumped off the cliff.
Back at the camp, it turns out that the situation is worse than expected.
Most of the war pets of the seventh regiment are Liu Yushu's, and now that she is dead, many of the war pets are out of control, and several imperial masters are constantly pacifying them, and there is no riot for the time being.
After a long time, most of these war pets still have to run away.
How else can this track down enemies?
Pei Hong was completely dead, he didn't want to catch up, first, there was a high probability that he couldn't catch up, and second, if he caught up, more people would definitely die.
An enemy who can come and go freely in the dark and shoot targets from a distance of several hundred meters is better not to provoke.
"Deputy Commander, what shall we do now?" A member of the group came to ask.
What to do? Cold!
Pei Hong wanted to quit, but thinking of the 30 million annual salary paid to him by the group, he still said: "Try to maintain the war pets, the most important thing is the three giant-mouthed pterodactyls, don't let them fly away." At dawn we returned to Olympia. ”
Several members of the group looked at each other, but did as they did.
What they don't know is that their every move is secretly controlled by others.
Ji Xinghuo had circled to the other side of the camp.
He stood behind a tree, in a stealth state, the magnetic field induction encompassed the camp more than 700 meters away, observed for a moment, made sure that these people did not want to go out to track him, so he left quietly.
"It's time to get out of Peak Valley."
Ji Xinghuo walked in the dark, but did not go directly in the direction of Olympia to the east, but first went north, preparing to take a longer detour.
By daybreak, he was more than a hundred kilometers away from the area where the meteor fell.
But still all the way north.
It wasn't until noon that Ji Xinghuo stopped to rest, let the little green snake come out of his pocket, and said, "Spit out everything." ”
The little green snake opened its mouth and spat out, and the entire backpack and the bag containing the xenos appeared, intact.
And the one wrapped in strips of cloth.
Ji Xinghuo picked it up and uncovered the strip of cloth.
Suddenly, a brilliant light lit up in his hand, and a huge and colorful gem appeared in front of him.
Its volume is about the same size as a ping-pong ball, its shape is irregular, and there are traces of high temperature burning on the surface, like glass, as if it has burned off excess impurities, leaving only a hard core with edges.
"Sure enough, it's the Tears of the Stars!"
"It's hot!"
Ji Xinghuo had watched the video on the Internet before, and the one in his hand was exactly the same as the one in the video, and then his hand shook, and the tears of the stars fell to the ground.
He once again felt the huge energy contained in the Tears of the Stars, and the nature of the energy was extremely violent, and with his body, he could not bear it.
"How much star power can I increase by absorbing a Tear of a Star?"
Ji Xinghuo was a little curious.
He carefully observed, and based on the fluctuation strength of the etheric energy, he speculated that if he absorbed it, the star power would increase by at least 1,000 to 1,500 points!
That's five to seven times more than the total star power he has.
And after absorption, it can also fuse one more xenomorph.
"That's a good thing!"
Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but sigh, the joy in his heart was indescribable, it was in vain that he searched hard for two days, and he was almost exposed in front of two super aliens.
Star Tears are rarely traded publicly, and prices are not fixed.
It's definitely no problem to sell two or three hundred million.
Get rich overnight!
However, of course, Ji Xinghuo would not be stupid enough to sell the tears of the stars. I can't absorb it for the time being, but when I am promoted to a super alien in the future, I will be able to use it immediately.
At this time, the little green snake swam over, obviously curious about the tears of the stars.
It habitually stuck out its tongue and licked it, and immediately as if it had been burned, its tongue immediately retracted and crawled back quickly.
"Hahaha......"
Ji Xinghuo was amused by it.
It is said that monsters can also absorb the tears of the stars, but they have to reach the superior level, and the little green snake is only an elite spiritual creature, which is one level behind.
He picked up the Tears of the Stars, changed them into a clean cloth bag, and re-wrapped them, allowing the little green snake to swallow them again.
The energy fluctuations of the Tears of the Star are too great, and it is easy to be detected when carried on the body, and it is safest to hide it in the stomach of the little green snake.
In addition to the tears of the stars, Ji Xinghuo also rearranged his luggage.
Things that can only be used when camping, such as tents and sleeping bags, etc., as well as most of the spare arrows and compound bow repair tools that are not usually used urgently, these are packed in a separate bag and put in the stomach of the little green snake, which reduces the weight of the backpack by seven or eight percent.
Ji Xinghuo wanted to travel completely light, but considering that it would attract unnecessary attention, he still carried his backpack and looked no different from a normal lone wanderer.
He walked all the way north for two days.
I happened to pass by the team that was killed before, and the weapons and equipment that were thrown there were still there, and I picked up a few useful things, anyway, there are little green snakes now, you can bring them all.
Then it turned east, and took a detour of several hundred kilometers.
After five days, I finally saw the walls of Liberty City, and immediately after entering the city, I took an airship.
When the airship landed in the Dongxia District of Olympia, Ji Xinghuo looked at the familiar and long-lost urban area around him, his mood relaxed, and he said in his heart: "I'm back again!" ”
