Volume 10 Bugs Chapter 92: The Correct Use of Guns
In the adventures we have experienced in the past, an assassin with mysterious movements, huge lethality, and the ability to use various skills to effectively control the enemy has a huge impact on a battle. The ability of such a damage dealer in battle can often determine the final life and death victory or defeat of the entire battle.
But this time, that is not the case:
Although the tragic death of the Dark Elf Assassin Red Wolf left us with a deep impression, objectively speaking, his death was just a small episode that unexpectedly appeared in this battle. It neither affected nor changed anything.
You know, assassin is recognized as a very extreme combat profession. People generally believe that these shadow warriors walking in the dark are the kings of the duel arena and the killers on the battlefield. Their sudden burst of sneak attack skills can burst out with amazing lethality in a short moment. Such amazing power often makes opponents of the same level unable to resist, and they may even lose their lives before they can even counterattack.
However, when they face powerful opponents with strong defense, vitality or durability, especially those huge guys in the dungeon area, the damage caused by this sudden burst of attack is simply impossible to bring a fatal blow to the enemy, and this fighting method often lacks sufficient sustainability. After each wave of attacks, the assassins will inevitably face a long wait and silence.
Therefore, when facing these opponents, an assassin's contribution is often not as good as that of a swordsman or shadow thief who is also a rogue. The former abandons the special skill of hiding his tracks and gains a gorgeous and continuous attack skill. The damage he can cause in a short moment may not be as high as that of an assassin, but for a long time, the swordsman can continue to use his agile, elegant and dangerous skills to strike the opponent again and again; while the shadow thief develops a set of trap skills in the process of sneak attacks, which can not only cause heavy damage to the opponent, but also use various toxins and traps to create more trouble for the enemy.
This difference was particularly evident on the battlefield seven thousand years later: ordinary attacks here relied more on the power of the weapon chosen by an adventurer, and the two light weapons chosen by Red Wolf were pitifully small after losing the auxiliary effect of skills. This forced him to be a "spectator" for more than three minutes after each sneak attack, using his two small pistols that were not too big for dwarves to use to make some unnecessary shots from a distance, while anxiously waiting for his various skills to slowly cool down.
In fact, the dark elves are not the only ones who have encountered this dilemma. We are all facing the same problem:
The Longbow Shooting Sun's magnetic cannon is better. This powerful double-barreled cannon is a combat tool specially designed to destroy these large machines. Every shot of it can achieve amazing attack effects, but its problem is the same as that of the Red Wolf, that is: its cooling time is really too long. During the five minutes of waiting for the magnetic cannon to recharge, facing the mechanical guardians with amazing defense and durability, the combat capability of our dwarf priest is infinitely close to zero.
Tintin's situation was even more embarrassing: his long-range sniper rifle was the destined fatal nightmare of those small metal puppets of roughly the same level as us - although I'm not sure that their metal skulls could produce such a thing as "dreams" - and as an aside, it was really strange that although I subconsciously understood what "dreams" were, I had never seen them. In this sense, I was somewhat similar to those metal puppets - when his highly penetrating light bullets could accurately hit the heads of the metal puppets, they could actually have a fatal effect, which was beyond the reach of all weapons, including the longbow's magnetic energy cannon.
But in front of this huge mechanical guardian, the effect of this sniper rifle is really very limited. No matter where it hits, the damage it causes will not become greater, let alone causing any "fatal injury" to this steel giant. It has completely become an ordinary firearm at this time, shooting at the enemy at a very slow speed. If there is no Hell War Spirit helping us resist the attack of the mechanical guardian, and our demon warlock will use some spells that cause negative effects to reduce the combat effectiveness of the mechanical guardian, I am almost unwilling to deny that an orc with a sniper rifle is just a dispensable and insignificant part of such a high-tech battle.
Compared to them, my situation was equally awkward—perhaps even more awkward. Judging from the size of the rifle, I could tell that it was not designed to fight against such a heavyweight. The attack power of this rifle was much stronger than Red Wolf's two small pistols, and its range was also very short. The only thing worth mentioning was its attack frequency.
As a warrior who used a heavy shield to protect his comrades and used his courage to create fighting opportunities for them, my duty was to attract the enemy's attention with my attacks and then bravely withstand the heavy blows from the enemy. But to be honest, until today I still don't understand what was wrong with me at that time, why I thought I could complete this difficult task with such a small gun with despairing attack power.
So we can clearly see that there is only one main attacking force in this battle, and that is our great commander, great leader, great mentor and great accountant, the reddest red in our hearts... uh, I mean the bluest sapphire, the beautiful girl holding the Hydra Rapid Impact Gun, the genius ice wizard, our president, Miss Feiyin.
I believe you will find it difficult to find a weapon more suitable for this kind of battle than this killing machine. Under Feiyin's control, this peerless weapon is just like the cruel alien creature mentioned in its name, spewing violent flames non-stop, weaving into a stream of destructive light. Under its crazy sweep, the mechanical guardian Optim? Prim was beaten to pieces - I mean, steel pins and iron melted - black smoke was coming out of many parts of his body, and the machinery inside burst out with lightning from time to time. When Feiyin opened fire and launched a heroic attack on the behemoth in front of her, we can clearly see that the durability bar on the head of the mechanical guardian, which is so long that it can hardly see the edge, is actually decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The power of this gun is so great that it greatly increases the difficulty for me to attract the enemy's attention. Many times, we have to stop Feiyin's fanatical and somewhat excessive fighting enthusiasm:
"President, run quickly, I can't hold you back..." I followed the mechanical guardian who was running towards Feiyin with big strides, raised my head and shot him hard on the butt while calling the police.
"Feiyin, run faster, I can't hold you back anymore..." Okay, this is still me.
"Miss, don't just stand there like an idiot. You've led him there again..." Of course, I was the only one who said this.
"Master President, the magic I used to revive you was more than the magic I used to heal the warriors. Couldn't you have died less than twice..." Changgong Sheri cast a resurrection spell on Feiyin's corpse while muttering with great regret, "...If I could charge the market price for resurrecting you, I would have almost paid off all the money I owed to the guild by now..."
Fei Yin, who had just been resurrected, jumped up: "What are you talking about! Can you blame me for this? This gun was not designed by me. I also hope that its power can be smaller. How much is your magic potion worth? I died so many times, do you know how expensive it is to repair equipment? Ah, I'm so mad, I'm going to fight you! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah..."
"No, President. Impulse is the devil. Run away. This guy can go wherever he wants. I can't control him anyway..."
…
Although our beloved president made an unprecedented sacrifice in this battle, her record is obvious to all. If she continues like this, she only needs to die seven or eight more times - uh, I mean about ten minutes later - the mechanical guardian Optim? Prim will usher in its moment of destruction.
But at this moment, a problem that we had never considered before suddenly appeared in front of us...
Just as Feiyin was saved by Changgong Sheri again and raised her spear to launch another crazy attack, we suddenly found that the rotating muzzle that should have sprayed out a green energy bomb composed of countless light bullets suddenly lost its luster, and the nine gun barrels were spinning empty, making a "hustle" sound of metal friction, and the mechanism that moved when firing the ammunition also made a "clicking" sound, like the sound of a weak cough from an old man who had exhausted all his strength.
"President, shoot quickly!" I urged him repeatedly before I realized what was happening.
"Why are you still firing? The energy is used up!" Fei Yin stuffed the Hydra into the package in anger, picked up the staff and joined the battle again.
"No way, how come it's so fast?" Red Wolf asked in surprise, "I've only used less than half of the energy of these two guns."
"Nonsense! How many shots did you only fire? I have basically never stopped firing my gun since the battle started." Fei Yin glanced at Honglang with disdain.
I wouldn't have noticed it if she hadn't mentioned it. But as soon as she mentioned it, I suddenly realized that the incessant "da da da da" noise from just now was really no longer inaudible, and the world around me really became a lot quieter.
"It may also be related to the power of the weapon. I only have enough energy to fire two more shells!" Changgong Sheri said as he looked at the magnetic cannon in his hand that was being charged.
"My gun can still be used for a while, but it will be over soon!" Ding Ding Xiaoge's sniper rifle obviously consumes less energy.
Hearing them say this, I also glanced at the impact gun in my hand: there was about half of the energy left in it. This was normal, I didn't use this gun very often, and there was a period of time when I even chose to use a long sword to fight.
The mechanical guardian wielded his battle axe and pressed forward towards me. Suddenly, without Feiyin to attract his attention, I felt a huge pressure. For seven consecutive times, the mechanical guardian chose me as its target. Although I tried every possible way to defend myself, this series of powerful attacks still caused me to lose a lot of life. I could even feel my vitality dissipating into the air along the chopped skull.
Although Longbow Shooting Sun threw a healing wave at me, and I took a bottle of medical potion, it was too late. It seemed that the mechanical guardian did not intend to give me time for the potion to take effect. He leaned down suddenly, and the huge gun in his left hand aimed at me. At this moment, I could see the red energy gathering at the muzzle of the gun.
I felt that I could not withstand the power of this shot - in fact, looking at the muzzle of the gun that was thicker than my butt, I felt that even if I had full vitality, I might not be able to take this shot.
So, I made a quick decision and chose to escape.
In a flash, I activated the "Heroic Flash" skill that came with my combat boots. I can't remember how many times this skill has saved my life. I felt the space around me become distorted in an instant, and all the lines around me were bent into ridiculous shapes. Even the beam that just came out of the mechanical guardian's mouth was like a pool of water that was broken by a stone, rippling and extending in all directions. Just when the rippling red light was about to wrap me up, my eyes suddenly turned white, as if I was wrapped in a thick fog. When the white fog dissipated and the surrounding scenery returned to its original state, I had appeared about ten steps behind the mechanical guardian.
Although the whole process sounds real and slow, it actually happened in the blink of an eye. When I turned around and looked at where I was standing, a red beam of light more than a person thick was gushing out from the muzzle of the gun, like a flaming python twisting and entwining, sweeping back and forth over that area. Tintin Xiaoge's Demonic Prison Fighting Spirit unfortunately took over my position and stood there, and was hit by the red light. His already severely damaged health points were instantly evaporated , more than 3,000 health points were wiped out, and he screamed and disappeared from the spot, returning to the alien plane that originally belonged to him.
The tragic end of the Hell Soul scared me so much that I broke into a cold sweat, but at the same time, I was thankful for my quick reaction: if I had stayed where I was, the unlucky guy who was mercilessly shot by the red beam would have been replaced. At most, I could only hold on for two or three seconds longer than the Hell Soul.
We all know that the "Heroic Flash" skill attached to this pair of boots has an interesting effect, that is, the first attack after the flash can produce a 100% critical hit effect. Originally, this skill would not have much effect, because as a warrior who mainly focuses on defense, no matter what skill is used to attack, the lethality is very limited. Even if the double damage caused by the critical hit is difficult to cause fatal damage to the opponent.
However, by coincidence, I once accidentally learned a skill called "All-Out Throw", which can cause more than four times the maximum damage of the weapon at the expense of the weapon. Then, coupled with the double critical strike effect, the lethality of this attack immediately becomes very considerable.
Because of this, using All Out Throw immediately after Heroic Flash has become a fixed tactic that I use frequently, and even a habit. I always have a dozen or so second-rate weapons in my backpack, ready to be used as disposable consumables in battle at any time.
But sometimes the power of habit is so strong that I often throw my high-level weapon at people in a fit of anger when I am unprepared at a critical moment of life and death...
...like this time.
I subconsciously threw the thing in my hand towards the huge mechanical guardian without realizing what I was doing. The moment the weapon slipped out of my hand, I vaguely realized that something was wrong. It was not until I pulled out the long sword from my backpack with great skill that I remembered: what I just threw out seemed to be the "SR-09 Lightweight Pulse Assault Rifle".
My comrades stared in amazement as I smoothly swung the assault rifle at the enemy like an electromagnetic bomb.
What happened next almost made them pop their eyes out...
Far beyond our imagination, the assault rifle immediately roared when it hit the mechanical guardian, erupting with incredible and terrible power. After a bright and dazzling flash, a dark cloud suddenly rose into the air, tumbling upwards, gradually forming the shape of a large mushroom. Under this violent explosion, the huge mechanical guardian fell apart in an instant. Its torso was blown in half, and various parts were scattered miserably on the ground. The metal plates on the outside of the body melted due to the high temperature generated by the explosion, turning into a red color, and dripping a few drops of liquid.
It looked at the wound that had brought it fatal effects in disbelief, and the blue light flashing in its eyes was full of doubt. At the moment of collapse, it seemed to be trying to support its broken body with its arms, but it was obviously unable to do so. After a series of huge electric sparks spread across its body, causing its half-broken body to twitch violently, its eyes gradually became blurred and dim, until it finally turned into a black hole.
The dangerous steel giant finally stopped its last struggle.
It was not until this moment that the huge red number that appeared above its head, representing the damage caused by the attack, completely disappeared.
The huge numbers displayed on it are so huge that they are maddening:
"-97127"!!!
More than 97,000 damage points, can you believe it? Before this, if anyone told me that such a huge damage effect was caused by an adventurer hitting a huge dungeon master, I would have mercilessly laughed at him for bragging too much - in fact, it was more like a dungeon monster causing damage to an adventurer at one time. However, all this happened right in front of my eyes, and it was caused by me.
"You're... kidding, right?" Red Wolf held his arms stiffly in the air, totally unaware that he was still maintaining a two-handed shooting posture, as if he had been petrified in an instant.
"What happened?" Feiyin ran to the huge pile of wreckage and carefully poked the half-broken body of the mechanical guardian with her staff, as if she still couldn't believe that it was really completely destroyed - who would believe it? Even I myself was deeply skeptical about it.
Changgong Sheri looked at the magnetic energy cannon in his hand that had just been charged, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger towards the distant wall. After two loud bangs, the last two shells of the "Man-Eating Wolf Twin Magnetic Energy Cannon" were wasted.
Then our dwarf priest nodded affirmatively and accepted this reality:
"Well, it seems that I really didn't do that just now!"
Ding Ding Xiaoge gnashed his teeth and said, "Jeff, you are too arrogant in using this cheat. This is not a private server..."
"I was thinking..." Combining all the actual situations that happened before my eyes, and after careful thinking, I made an obvious and correct judgment, "... maybe this is the correct way to use a gun?"
"No way!" They objected in unison...
