Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Between Battles.

“Bang!”

The fragile mini Strike Dragon Gun smashed onto the platform, the immense force causing it to shatter instantly, metal shards flying in all directions like a fragment grenade.

“Oh no, oh no!”

Jie Jie watched the shattered remains of the mini Strike Dragon Gun scattered everywhere, his heart aching.

Even the small Strike Dragon Guns were adorable!

As he was hopping around in frustration, a barrage of ammunition from the explosion surged straight toward his face.

The Praying Mantis Arm swung and hooked silk threads, first protecting his own eyes.

Queen Mantis had large, bright eyes exposed without eye sockets for protection, making them obvious weak points.

He protected his eyes while using the silk threads to pull himself sideways, breaking the threads stuck on the ground, then climbed back up onto the platform with the silk threads.

The sniper didn’t see him, seemingly having moved to a hidden corner, but the mobile artillery moving along the tracks kept firing crossbows at him.

“Chh~”

Just as Jie Jie landed, the continuous crossbow bolts struck Queen Mantis’ amethyst-like eyes, fluid flowing out from the crystals.

“Damn!!!”

He covered his face and let out an angry scream, turning his body and shooting a silk thread to entangle the mobile artillery. Before the hunter could cut the thread, the artillery flew off its track and exploded against the city wall.

Jie Jie used both arms to repeatedly wipe away the crossbow bolts embedded in his head, like washing his face.

“Good job!”

After losing vision, the beetle-type monster’s combat ability would surely plummet drastically!

The remaining hunters cheered, while some looked regretfully at the shattered artillery, besides the remnants of the artillery, there were also the cold remains left behind after life had ended.

But they regarded the place where they investigated monsters as the front line, and the place where they fought monsters as the battlefield.

In both hunting and battlefields, sacrifices will be made.

“Hack, hack.”

The recovery potion and stamina potion slid down the bumpy throat of Kempe who was being supported by the rescue cat, causing him to cough violently.

Strength and stamina flowed back into his body from deep within, and he needed to make up for his tactical mistake.

Facing the massive unknown creation, they chose the tactics used against the Old Mountain Dragon and Fort Crab, with mechanics taking the lead, elite hunters and guild knights spreading out to command, operate, and boost morale, reducing room for error.

When the monster’s shell broke open, it would be the time for the elites to strike at its weak points.

But they didn’t expect the unknown creation to be so fragile, leaving the rest of their tactics unable to handle the beetle-type’s flexible ambushes!

He stood up, exchanged glances with the visible elites to confirm the tactical shift, tightened his grip on the dual blades, and charged towards the beetle-type on the opposite platform.

Other elite hunters did the same, forming a circle around the beetle-type to prevent further rampages and reduce damage.

At this moment, Jie Jie also lowered the arm covering his face, revealing the shattered amethyst eyes.

If eyes are weaknesses, then discarding the eyes means discarding the weakness.

He calmed his mind, and as vision was abandoned, other senses were amplified to the extreme, including the energy perception of the Ming Deng Long.

Kinetic energy trajectories spun into a swirling windstorm, with the recovered Chief Hunter at the center.

Blood Wind Gyro.

Jie Jie took a step back to create distance, but the dancing dual blades chased relentlessly.

So, the Praying Mantis Arm opened and lifted, leaping over the kinetic trajectory from mid-air, nailing down towards the hunter at the center.

It’s like extending your finger towards the center of a spinning top.

“Block!”

The outward spiraling wind immediately condensed inward, a pair of dual blades briefly held up the easily descending “finger.” Kempe felt the terrifying power contained within the slender mantis arm.

He wanted to sever the mantis arm with his dual blades, but this brief instant ended, forcing him to adjust his body and redirect the kinetic energy, retreating backward.

He stepped back to stop the retreat, leaped forward again, and his body lightly spun in the air, surrounded by swirling blade winds.

Top Slash ——

He crashed onto the ground, quickly bounced up with his arms supporting his body, searching for the opponent’s silhouette.

It’s like trying to cover a spider with a cup, only to find no spider when you lift the cup.

“It’s gone?”

“Be careful!”

At the moment he heard his companion’s shout, Kempe instantly pounced, narrowly dodging the heavy stamp that flipped him over.

The vanished spider was right in front of him.

How is this possible! Its eyes were destroyed, weren’t they?!

Monsters with destroyed visual organs would attack wildly, unable to distinguish the hunter’s position, which should be the best opportunity for hunters to attack!

But the scissor-like mantis arms crossed left and right, sawing through bricks, cruelly contracting towards the center.

He was captured by the two mantis arms, his armor suffering compression and tearing, soon to reach his body.

He struggled and resisted, swinging his dual blades with his unconfined arms, leaving trails on the golden carapace.

He was flung away with a sense of acceptance.

Kempe fell to the ground, surprised that he could still feel his lower half.

He thought he had been cut in half.

But it wasn’t much better than being cut in half; his lower half seemed to think it had been severed, blood flow stagnated, and movement was impossible.

Before Jie Jie could prepare to cut the hunter in half, other attacks arrived.

The cannon’s explosive power tore through the carapace, the great sword’s swing almost caused him to stumble and fall.

Familiar ammunition thoroughly pierced through the eyes, but this time the sneak attacker didn’t withdraw but instead openly conducted a crouching fire.

Somewhat unexpected, he used a heavy crossbow instead of a light one. The previous quick hiding mobility made him think the other party was using a light crossbow.

And the reason the sneak attacker became more open was naturally because other hunters had arrived, forming a circle to restrain him.

Is that so?

A sweep of the mantis arm knocked away the cannons and heavy shields, and the chief hunter caught inside was also thrown out.

An unsevered hind leg kicked out, sending the great swordsman flying back.

Delicate silk threads were woven around him with every move, creating his own web of silk wherever he landed.

Too many counterattacks would only result in him being restrained, so Jie Jie ignored the other hunters wielding weapons toward him, instantly jumping to escape the circle, landing beside a cannon barrel.

A sweep of the abdomen tail wrapped the silk threads around the cannon barrel as a weapon.

During the next jump, the cannon barrel hurled toward the heavy crossbow user with powerful centrifugal force.

Seeing the steel cannon barrel hurtling toward him, the heavy crossbow user’s pupils contracted, and he clawed his way to the side.

Dodging a vertical slash is easy, but what about a horizontal sweep?

Coldness generated a bit of warmth upon collision, and this warmth swept across with the temperature-carrying silk threads, blasting the humanoid energy source away.

“How is this possible?!”

The voice carried anger and surprise; in less than five minutes of this battle, Jie Jie had heard such emotional expressions no fewer than twenty times.

“Don’t panic, we still have the Strike Dragon Gun! The mechanics have withdrawn almost completely, its next target can only be us!”

A hunter holding a single-handed sword scattered Life Dust, climbing toward the button of the Strike Dragon Gun.

Elite hunters threw props at the monster, taunting it vocally, but prepared to run down toward the Strike Dragon Gun.
