In the dim light, that figure always had its back turned to him.
The silhouette stood right in the center of what was clearly also an altar room, at the location of the circular altar.
The figure was thin and stood upright. Even using the night vision device, Lin Yue couldn’t make out its true features.
Was he a beggar or a survivor?
The shotgun in Lin Yue’s hand remained ready. At this distance of dozens of meters, any attempt by the other party to attack would be futile.
That is, assuming the other party actually had the intent to attack.
Lin Yue glanced at the person’s hands: one dangled at his side while the other seemed to be in front, obscured from view.
"Squirm, squirm." Black Dot and Red Line darted out directly and circled a few times in front of the figure.
"Is this... a dead person?" Lin Yue’s tense nerves relaxed slightly as Black Dot and Red Line did not signal any warning, suggesting that might indeed be the case.
He slowly moved forward, pressing the barrel of his shotgun against the person’s back.
Lin Yue quickly turned around, staring directly at the person’s face!
"My grandson, Masayoshi?" Lin Yue drew in a sharp breath, this guy...
Huh? What’s that smell?
Lin Yue suddenly caught a peculiar scent, one he was quite familiar with.
A noise abruptly reached Lin Yue’s ears; he realized he might have stepped on something, and it was now sparking and quickly heading toward the body of my grandson, Masayoshi!
"Get out of the way!!" Lin Yue swiftly retreated, pulling out the alloy explosion-proof shield from storage space and donning ear protectors!
The Little Ice Lizards responded faster, transforming into four streaks of white light, and joined Lin Yue behind the alloy explosion-proof shield!
Almost simultaneously!
A loud explosion erupted as a massive shockwave pressed against the alloy explosion-proof shield on the ground with Lin Yue!
With his left arm fitted with the mechanical arm, Lin Yue did not let the shield fly away due to the shockwave, but the immense force did make him lose his grip.
Dust rose, accompanied by the pervasive smell of gunpowder, and even with ear protectors, Lin Yue could feel the explosive force echoing loudly!
The reverberations in the not-too-large space incessantly produced an uncomfortable echo. Despite the discomfort, Lin Yue held on, whisking the four Little Ice Lizards to the wooden door.
But just as he pushed the door open, he saw shadows rushing into the corridor on the other side!
Ah, waiting for me here, are you?
Lin Yue swiftly slipped aside, hid behind the door, loaded his shotgun, and took out the sniper rifle.
Really, coming to these underground ruins always feels like playing a shooting game.
Lin Yue took a deep breath, and as soon as the first Lizardman charged in, Lin Yue’s shotgun burst out!
The Lizardman turned into fragments along with the wooden door, but Lin Yue didn’t stop. He quickly changed directions and fired a second shot at the wooden door!
Amidst the screams, system notifications were too trivial for Lin Yue to care about. Whether Copper Treasure Chest or not, all these Lizardmen or whatever could go to hell!
The smoke hadn’t cleared, and Lin Yue quickly retreated to one side.
The Lizardmen had ranged weapons, and he didn’t want to be hit by them head-on.
Sure enough, the sound of air being torn apart erupted, with dozens of iron spears and iron guns shooting into the space from the destroyed wooden door.
Lin Yue came up with an idea, exaggeratedly screamed, then summoned the crossbow carriage, aiming it outside the door!
Soon enough, over a dozen Lizardmen who had just stepped into the room were sent flying backward with howling arrows from the crossbow carriage, adding screams to the chaos!
Lin Yue had already retreated to the deepest part of the altar room, using the stone statue of the bloodsucking monster insect as a support to set up the sniper rifle!
With night vision goggles on, he could see several Lizardmen crawling near the doorway, as well as beggars holding weapons advancing in groups!
Beggars? Then eliminate them first!
Bullets poured out from the magazine without missing a shot. Lin Yue quickly emptied one magazine and replaced it with a new one.
The Lizardmen’s screams and the beggars’ cries were incessant, but Lin Yue remained calm, pulling the trigger steadily.
Through the night vision device, no matter if the Lizardmen or beggars tried charging over or standing up to escape, none could withstand Lin Yue’s bullet onslaught.
However, some crafty ones hid behind their comrades or beside the treasure chests trying to evade Lin Yue’s shots, but all in vain.
The Little Ice Lizards weren’t messing around.
When the coalition of Lizardman beggars threw spears and javelins, the Little Ice Lizards rushed out, directly engaging and harassing the enemy from behind, ensuring no beggar could escape.
They could walk on the cave ceiling, needing just a quick bite to deal with the beggars.
Lin Yue specifically targeted beggars first, leaving no survivor!
They were the most dangerous, also the most likely to expose his secrets.
