78: Chapter 74: Chen Songnan, Whose Worldview is Shattered, 30,000 points of metal energy!
The bullet didn’t cause him much damage, but at this critical moment, it was a nuisance.
The giant Silver Grey Beast rushed forward, and Chen Songnan’s face turned gloomy.
The flames on his right fist surged as he violently punched the oncoming beast.
With a mournful cry, the beast’s front half swerved to the left, but it also swung its giant tail like a whip.
Chen Songnan was again flung away as more and more Silver Grey Beasts swarmed him.
Lying on the ground and looking at the Silver Grey Beast’s sturdy thing, Chen Songnan gritted his teeth.
“Get lost!” he yelled angrily, rolling up the sky-high flames and leaping into the air while looking in the general direction from where the bullets had come.
The hidden sniper wasn’t much of a threat to him, but incredibly annoying.
“You think hiding in the shadows means I can’t deal with you?” Chen Songnan’s face was gloomy, but he completely failed to notice the frenzy growing among the Silver Grey Beasts surrounding him.
The Silver Grey Beasts kept coming in waves, and Chen Songnan seemed to have fallen into a quagmire.
“What’s going on, these creatures are getting crazier,” Chen Songnan thought, his heart pounding.
At first, these Silver Grey Beasts were still afraid of the flames on his body.
After scattering a large group of them, they would wait for a moment before charging at him again, but now they were recklessly fearless.
The weaker Silver Grey Beasts could be smashed into meat sauce with a single punch, and the slightly stronger ones could only withstand two or three punches, but the sheer number of them gave him no chance to catch his breath.
His suit was torn, and the claws of the Silver Grey Beast left a white mark on his skin that quickly turned into a bloody streak as blood flowed from the fresh wound.
“Those guys only used half a bottle, and the other half is all on you,” someone had said.
Each bullet carried a faint special scent, lingering in Chen Songnan’s body.
However, the endurance of a D-level Life Form indeed startled him, and that was partly because Chen Songnan was not fully armed.
This sudden beast tide was unexpected by everyone.
“Get out of the way!”
In the midst of the chaos, the successive waves of Silver Grey Beasts pressed Chen Songnan to the very bottom.
Through the scope, Li Ming could even see their butts wiggling.
With a fierce shout, a column of molten lava erupted, and Chen Songnan burst out again, his hair burning and the surface of his skin covered in reddish cracks.
It seemed as though what flowed within those cracks was not blood, but molten lava.
The ring of lava exploded, covering a radius of ten meters, scorching nearly everything.
Seizing the opportunity, Chen Songnan leaped up and finally escaped the quagmire.
The Silver Grey Beast leader relentlessly pursued.
Chen Songnan’s face was ferocious as he clapped his hands together, and a column of lava gushed forth, blasting directly into the gaping mouth of the Silver Grey Beast leader.
It let out a painful howl and fell to the ground, the madness in its eyes finally subsiding a bit.
Chen Songnan landed not far away, produced another ring of lava in the same manner, and then soared into the air.
In two bounds, he was close to the general vicinity from where the bullets had come.
A figure darted out from the shadows and ran toward the narrow passage at breakneck speed.
Chen Songnan’s rage was at its peak, and the only thing left to do now was to tear the hidden assailant to shreds.
With black smoke curling from his mouth, he could see that his opponent’s life level was far below his own and that he would catch up shortly.
Descending into the stone tunnel, Chen Songnan smashed through the rock wall, sending sand and stones scattering behind him, momentarily sealing the entrance.
He took a deep breath, the fire on his body gradually extinguished and the cracks healed.
Staggering, it was clear that such a powerful move had taken a significant toll.
His suit was clearly custom-made to withstand high temperatures.
Now, it was only slightly ragged.
But it was this disheveled state that infuriated him even more.
He exploded from beneath his feet and hurriedly pursued, but he stopped again soon after because he sensed the life aura of the other party nearby.
Out of caution, he halted and his face was ice cold, but his voice was soft, “I wonder which friend here insists on taking my life, Chen Songnan’s life.”
“If there’s any offense, I can apologize in person.” He walked slowly, flames gradually appearing in his pupils, making the dim stone cavern a bit brighter.
Chen Songnan heard an odd noise along with a metallic scent, making him even more vigilant.
He produced a fireball in his hand and hurled it forward.
Illuminated by the firelight, he saw clearly, but it also made his scalp tingle with horror and shock.
It was a heavy machine gun with multiple barrels already spinning.
Just as the fireball approached, Bang!
A torrent of metal erupted in the stone corridor, the fireball shattered, and bullets sped toward Chen Songnan!
At such close range, he had very little time to dodge, but as a D-level Life Form, he managed to move his body just enough.
He felt a continuous piercing pain on half of his body.
With his level, normal handguns, submachine guns, and less powerful sniper rifles were unlikely to be a threat.
But he couldn’t withstand such a torrent of bullets with his current physical state.
He might have had a chance fully armed, but now, not only was he far from his peak, he was also seriously injured.
Why was there a heavy machine gun in this storage cave?
Was it carried in by humans?
He couldn’t believe it, but in the blink of an eye, he thought of the only way out: to fight through it!
In a flash of insight, although he didn’t see the person manning the gun, he also didn’t see a long chain of bullets.
This type of heavy machine gun ate through ammunition frightfully fast, and it should run out soon.
He did his best to dodge and weave while closing the distance, waiting for the moment the bullets ran out.
