"I say, do you want to bet on how much longer it will take to capture Fei Yue’s shelter?"
"Less than an hour, to be honest, those Celestial Dragon Lords, really, I thought sending 500 troops would be enough, but they actually dispatched more than a thousand. And we, this group of people, we’re almost over a hundred now, right? With such a large force, we must have taken down those two huge refugee villages."
"You don’t understand, my friend. Taking Fei Yue’s refugee village is a symbolic victory, enough to deliver a significant blow to the bunch of fools on the ground! Think about it, Fei Yue’s refugee village is in the top five among groups of 200,000 people! Taking it down will bring more people to join us."
"Huh, and this is still in the top five? They even manage to bring captives back to the shelter. If I were the leader, I’d blindfold them and shoot them in some place. Why would there still be such situations?"
"Haha, after capturing Fei Yue, we’ll take advantage of the victory to kill that world number one, Lin Yue. His shelter must be full of goodies!"
The battle hasn’t started yet, and the beggars are now gathered at the mid and rear of the ranks. What they need to do is not to charge directly at the front.
Their lives are precious.
Ever since Lin Yue’s anti-beggar declaration on the world channel, their days have become increasingly difficult.
In the Underground Ruins, they, like the Lizardmen, have become the primary targets for those Survivors. Massive personnel casualties aside, even their normal lives have been greatly affected.
Especially Lin Yue, this person is like a demon to them; he possesses formidable combat prowess, causing everyone to speak of him with dread!
Many have learned through communication that there once was an incident in a mining site where numerous Lizardmen and companions were slain by robot-like weapons. The survivors who returned underground by luck all said it was likely Lin Yue’s weapon.
After all, in this Otherworld, he’s the only one with firearms. It doesn’t seem too hard to believe he would create robots.
Though the idea of insane bullet-shooting intelligent robots capable of providing mutual cover and precise aim surpasses Earth’s original technology, doesn’t it?
Lin Yue has always been the most advanced in this world, and the gap is widening!
"Oh? It’s started, the Celestial Dragon Lords have begun the siege! But strangely, why do I hear only their screams?"
"Shooting loophole? No, could it be... they’ve discovered it? Found out the sweat of the Celestial Dragon Lords can avoid mutated creatures?"
"Doesn’t, doesn’t matter, does it? With over a thousand Celestial Dragon Lords, just a spit from each can drown this village of over a hundred people. Why be afraid? Besides, if it doesn’t work, we’ll retreat quickly!"
"Yes, yes, if it doesn’t work, let’s quickly..."
Suddenly, a massive roar exploded from beside them!!
Accompanied by this was dust filling the sky and chunks of flesh flying everywhere!
The torches held by the beggars were also instantly extinguished by the violent gusts raised by the deafening noise, and the Lizardmen and beggars, who hadn’t yet reacted, heard another tremendous explosion!
Explosions echoed repeatedly, plunging all Lizardmen and beggars into absolute chaos in this darkness, a state continually interrupted by death as the explosions continued.
Amidst the fierce firelight, screams and cries replaced the previously arrogant laughter, and chunks of meat and body tissues flew around chaotically!
Some smart individuals lay down, searching for the holes they just burrowed out of, but amidst the smoke and dust forming the darkness, there was nothing they could do.
Occasionally, those who hadn’t breathed their last found extremely hard treasure chests, only to be blown to bits by a new explosion in their moment of horror!
The thunderous booming persisted for a while.
Ultimately, after this hellish sound faded, the desert returned once more to tranquility.
The vast Lizardmen troops and beggar squad previously gathered here had turned into chunks of flesh and remnants scattered across the desert, no longer in existence.
When the smoke cleared, the fire became the main character in this area, aside from those Copper Treasure Chests. Bai landed from the sky, folding its massive wings, spewing out vast amounts of icy mist over this desert.
Soon, the hot wind and thick smoke and wildfire brought by the explosions were thoroughly extinguished by the mist.
Yet, now there were two silver lights continuously shuttling through the epicenter of the explosion, with screams occasionally coming from the ground or underground. Finally, these two silver lights headed towards the refugee village, biting to death over a dozen Lizardmen under the wall who hadn’t had time to escape.
Lin Yue, holding a shotgun, as the victor who reaped the final fruits, calmly stepped into what was hell just moments ago, picking up the treasure chests scattered on the ground one by one.
The number of treasure chests was beyond imagination.
Moreover, these things actually weren’t shattered by the explosion of one Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow after another; instead, they all remained intact.
Moments ago, Bai and Redline seized the opportunity to bite to death any surviving Lizardmen attempting to steal treasure chests underground.
"There are actually 522 treasure chests... This was a bloody profitable wave," Lin Yue couldn’t help but lament after tirelessly picking up the treasure chests.
This harvest was incredibly ludicrous.
If one were to find any dissatisfaction.
It was that the beggars seemed to have been blown to smithereens, leaving not a trace... Hmm? Wait, there really is something!
[You have gained 1 cubic meter of Storage Space]
[You have gained 3 cubic meters of Storage Space]
[You have gained 2 cubic meters of Storage Space]
Lin Yue, like picking mushrooms, gathered the shining spots on the ground into his pocket, acquiring their Storage Space!
Initially, he thought with the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrows blowing these beggars into meat paste-like stuffing, there wouldn’t be any Storage Space to collect, but he was surprised to find it among the remnants.
Speaking of which, the power of the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow is absurd.
Only a hundred meters away, yet capable of shooting countless steel pellets at unimaginable speeds upon explosion, effectively harming the Lizardmen and beggars.
Moreover, black gunpowder can ignite a fire, also inflicting damage on the enemies.
Doesn’t this thing surpass a shoulder-launched rocket?
Considering recoil, danger, and so on, the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrow is much more practical than a shoulder-launched rocket, also known as an RPG.
"This thing seems like it can be placed around the wall at that Nitrate Ore mine, then blasted towards the bottom; it could take out tens of thousands of Lizardmen and beggars."
Lin Yue felt he had seemed to find a solution.
This is what they call, all fear originates from insufficient firepower.
After mastering firearms, and now aided with explosives, the advantage in numbers of Lizardmen and beggars was no longer formidable.
The weapon’s downside...
Probably isn’t suitable for use in the Underground Ruins or underground; the power is still too intense.
Lin Yue recalled when he blasted the Underground Ruins C Zone to collapse, and still had somewhat of a psychological shadow.
He remembered obtaining over a hundred treasure chests there last time?
If he goes now, the corpses inside should be rotten, right...
