Zhao Sihai’s eight-fold scope was always aiming at the Ghost Tree where Song Jian was hiding. Each shot with the M24 required the bolt to be pulled back. The time it took was short for ordinary people, but for Song Jian who was already at level seven, a second or two was enough time to do a lot of things. Therefore, even though Zhao Sihai still had the upper hand, he was panicking on the inside, daring not to let his guard down for a moment.
Sweat was slowly seeping from Zhao Sihai’s forehead. Afraid to wipe it away, he watched as a drop slid pass his eyebrows, and fell into his eye. Zhao Sihai felt a sting and involuntarily twitched his eye.
Just then, the Ghost Tree he had been aiming at suddenly had a shadow dart out from the left. Zhao Sihai pulled the trigger instinctively.
Bang-‘
With a loud bang, a look of joy filled Zhao Sihai’s face.
“Hit!” he exclaimed.
But before Zhao Sihai could even get up, through his eight-fold scope, he saw another figure dash out from the right side of the Ghost Tree. The object he hit earlier turned out to be nothing more than a worn-out blood-stained shirt.
“Damn, how can this be!” Zhao Sihai was momentarily panicked, quickly pulled the bolt back, but when he went to aim at Song Jian again, he found the man had begun to serpentinely move.
After Song Jian used his shirt to obscure Zhao Sihai’s view, he rushed from behind the Ghost Tree towards Zhao Sihai’s position, zigzagging his way through treetops and rocks, avoiding the enemy’s line of sight. With Song J fan’s agility of level 5, his running speed could already rival an elite human athlete.
Zhao Sihai was caught off guard, trying to predict Song Jian’s movement to secure a hit.
Bang-
Another Ghost Tree behind Song Jian was shot, leaving a large crater the size of a bowl. Zhao Sihai’s right hand shook slightly as he pulled back the rifle bolt again, searching for Song Jian.
Bang, bang,bang-
Wood chips flew, rocks crumbled. Song Jian managed to avoid several attacks from Zhao Sihai by relying on his own speed and surrounding objects.
After several empty shots, Zhao Sihai slowly began to panic. Seeing his ammo pouch was reduced to only five or six bullets, he didn’t dare to shoot recklessly.
He took a glance at the dry lake in the center of the pavilion and the wide-open area dozens of meters around him and felt a little relieved.
“Even if he manages to close in, without any cover around here, he can only be an easy target for me!” Zhao Sihai muttered to himself.
Sniper bullets were too expensive. Zhao Sihai had only managed to buy regular bullets for his sniper rifle. The higher-damage explosive and armor-piercing bullets were merely a fantasy for him. If not for Song Jian giving him thirty Doomsday Coins yesterday, he wouldn’t have been able to afford even these few bullets.
After Song Jian threw out his coat, he revealed a Zombie Commander Armor on his upper body. The metal scales shimmered under the sun, making Song Jian look like a medieval warrior launching an assault to his enemies.
After reaching a large rock on the edge of the Central Lake, Song Jian began to rest, panting heavily. The short distance of a few hundred meters had taken a lot out of him, leaving him on the verge of life and death, like dancing on the edge of a cliff where any misstep could lead to disaster.
He consumed another “Vitality Recovery Fruit,” refilling his Vitality Points. Now, there were only three “Vitality Recovery Fruits’1 left in his inventory.
“If it weren’t for you, my losses wouldn’t have been this great! ” Song Jian cursed inwardly.
items like the Vitality Recovery Fruit was like a trump card that could turn the tide of the battle before any healing potions were available. If not for it, Song Jian wouldn’t have dared to charge at Zhao Sihai. Instead, he would have picked up the loot dropped by the boss and run away immediately.
“Come on, I want to see how you’re going to cross! ” Zhao Sihai was staring at the rock several dozen meters away, mumbling to himself.
Song Jian, hiding behind the rock, was out of ideas for a moment. The emptiness in front of him was a wide-open field plus a dried-up Central Lake. If he wanted to get to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, it would take at least ten seconds; enough time for the other side to shoot five to six rounds. Without any cover, Song Jian didn’t dare to bet his life on the opponent’s accuracy.
“Ke’er, can you distract him for a bit? Give me a few seconds, that would be enough!” Song Jian turned to Li Ke’er who was hiding a few Ghost Trees away from him.
“Emmmm, Little Cheap Brother, I can let Little Purple distract him, but Little Purple’s attack is too weak, I’m afraid she couldn’t last long…” Ke’er seemed hesitant.
“It’s fine, a few seconds will do…” Song Jian’s spirit perked up. With just a few seconds, he could rush within ten meters of the man. By that time, an Earth Teeth Assault would surely make the man regret his life!
“Alright then.” Ke’er seemed a bit hesitant. Little Purple had just been summoned, her attack was extremely weak. Even an ordinary human being could kill her easily if they managed to grab her.
“Little Purple, attack that man!” Ke er commanded mentally.
“Chirp chirp-” A sound from Little Purple came across Ke’er’s ear.
Zhao Sihai wiped the sweat from the corner of his eye during the pause. His breathing began to increase, tightly staring at the rock. The moment he noticed any movements, he would pull the trigger.
“He has at most half vitality left. All 1 need is one shot, and 1 can bring him down. I still have the upper hand!” Zhao Sihai analyzed calmly, self-motivating himself.
Just then, Zhao Sihai suddenly felt a weak current of air coming from above. He looked up instinctively but found nothing. Study it carefully, Zhao Sihai suddenly widened his eyes, what was that?
About a dozen meters above his head, a transparent mass of air was falling quickly towards him.
The fist-sized mass, barely noticeable unless you had sharp eyes like Zhao Sihai, was incredibly fast. Before Zhao Sihai could even react, the thing landed on his face with a “smack.”
A sharp pain came from his right eye, a critical hit of over 30 points floated above his head.
System: Li Ke’er’s pet “Little Purple” has attacked you, causing a critical damage of 32 points to your right eye, leading to functional damage. Your right eye is blinded.
“Ah, what’s this…” On reflex, Zhao Sihai sprang up from the wooden bench, waving his arms wildly to guard his face.
Blood trickled from his right eye, staining half of his face red. The muscles on his face twisted in pain. Zhao Sihai’s mind went blank as the sudden attack sent him into a panic.
At this moment, Song Jian, like a freed tiger, rushed towards the small pavilion in the center of the lake.
