But the Fire Feather Dragon's throat was still surrounded by electrical arcs. Once it fell to the ground, it did not die in pain while it wailed, as Xu Sheng expected. Instead, it swung its neck and got up as if nothing had happened. What came out of its throat was not a scream, but a savage cackle.
Its fangs intersected with each other and crushed the electrical arcs.
'Isn't this … too strong?!' Xu Sheng was dumbfounded, and his skin crawled.
When the Fire Feather Dragon charged at him again, he could do nothing about it. When he was about to summon the last robot spider and have it ride on his body to flee, three incredibly shrill screeches shot out from the fog behind him. They turned into three fierce arcs of light that cut into the Fire Feather Dragon's head like crescent blades. They exploded at the same time.
There were three bullets.
Three bullets that were as accurate and powerful as missiles.
The Fire Feather Dragon's skin was torn apart by the explosion, and its white bones were exposed.
A light chuckle came from the fog. A young man with a lot of ointment on his hair combed back neatly, sunglasses, and a long trench coat walked out slowly. Aside from the fact that he was covered in guns, he did not fit in with the battlefield at all.
He held two handmade, sparkling and translucent handguns. The guns were engraved with profound and complicated runes. After the rune ink was poured into the guns, they surged with octagonal flames, emitting an aura of destruction.
'Han Xing!' Xu Sheng's pupils shrank.
Han Xing was a freshman in the military school's martial arts course. He was also one of the four specially recruited fighting course students in the alliance of the five universities. He was known as the future star of the Gun Fighting Style. It was said that he had the talent of controlling objects remotely, and he could control more than one hundred crystal bullets at the same time to increase his speed, accuracy, and power.
Han Xing was one of Xu Sheng's greatest competitors in the alliance of the five universities. They were enemies, but they were also friends. In the past, they had fought for prey and a spot on the ranking board many times. They often fought against each other and suppressed each other.
When he saw Han Xing appear, Xu Sheng sighed in relief, but he could not help but feel a little awkward. If Han Xing saw him in such a pathetic state, he would definitely be mocked again.
Sure enough, Han Xing pretended to blow at the smoke that did not exist on the muzzle of his gun, struck a pose that he thought was very cool, and said with a smile, "Look, isn't this our ace Mechanic? You always bring dozens of drones and spider tanks with you wherever you go. You're always surrounded by people, and you're always so cool.
"Where's your mechanized army? Why is there only a commander left? It's no wonder why he was bitten by the Fire Feather Dragon!"
"Han Xing, don't be too happy."
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't because the spirit energy magnetic field disturbance in Shattered Starlake has been too strong recently and interfered with my remote-controlled mechanized army, which is why I can only bring one-third of my unmanned aerial vehicles and spider fighting vehicles, I would have crushed this Fire Feather Dragon a long time ago!"
"That's how it is in the wild. The more monsters there are, the thicker the spirit energy in the air is. The thicker the spirit energy is, the more crystal mines are hidden underground, and the stronger the spirit energy magnetic field interference is!"
Han Xing grinned. "That's why I said that machine masters have too many limitations. You shouldn't be categorized as a fighting occupation. You should wait for real warriors like us to get rid of all the monsters before you enter the battlefield to build bridges and roads so that you can build a beautiful home!"
"You —" Xu Sheng's face turned red, but he had nothing to say.
"Don't be angry. You're injured. Sit by the side and rest. Watch how Big Brother Han gets rid of this fire-breathing creature!"
Han Xing aimed his guns at the Fire Feather Dragon.
The spirit energy in the air fluctuated strangely. It was as if he could see two spirit flames gathering together to form two indistinct red lines that went straight into the Fire Feather Dragon's eyes from the muzzles.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Han Xing locked his gaze on the Fire Feather Dragon's eyes and fired all the bullets in his gun in one go.
At the moment each bullet was fired, it trembled slightly from its wrist to its fingertips to ensure that its trajectory would change in a tricky manner. It caused more than ten bullets to draw arcs at different angles and pierce the Fire Feather Dragon's eyeballs at the same time. No matter how the Fire Feather Dragon dodged, at least three bullets could destroy its eyes.
The smile on Han Xing's lips grew wider.
He could already imagine the Fire Feather Dragon's eyeballs exploding. It would fly into a rage and wail loudly. Then, he would shoot down its throat and blast all its organs to pieces.
However, the Fire Feather Dragon did not dodge.
The three crystals embedded in its forehead shone brilliantly. The creature's eyes shone with a mocking and brutal light. Suddenly, a crimson wall of fire appeared in front of it. The air around it distorted, and its body became blurry.
The bullets Han Xing was confident in pierced the wall of fire, but they suddenly swayed like drunkards. They either brushed past the Fire Feather Dragon or ricocheted off its sturdy feathers. Even if a few of them hit the Fire Feather Dragon's head at ninety degrees, they were far from the eyeballs. Aside from causing a lot of blood to spray out and making the Fire Feather Dragon look even more monstrous, they were completely useless.
Besides, as the flames surrounded the Fire Feather Dragon, its wounds started healing at a visible speed.
In just a short half a minute, a thin layer of skin grew out of the three wounds Han Xing had shot in the beginning. There were even flesh sprouts intersecting with each other, and they looked like they were about to heal.
"How is this possible? My bullets are polished and carved by elites. They're also embedded with the purest crystals. They contain explosive spirit energy, and when I activate them with my mental power, I can even blow up a normal Nightmarish Beast's head with one shot. How could this creature's High-Heat Torrent interfere with my bullet trajectory?"
At that moment, Han Xing's expression changed. A few strands of ahoge popped up on his neat, slicked-back hair. "And its regenerative abilities are too terrifying. Don't Fire Feather Dragons only have three inborn skills? They're Flame Breath, High-Heat Torrent, and Flame Dance. I've never heard of it having super regenerative abilities!"
"Good luck, future star of the Gun Fighting Style. Let me, a support class, witness the glory of a fighting class!" Xu Sheng seized the chance to add insult to injury.
Han Xing gritted his teeth. His hands instantly turned into eighteen shadows, and he looked like an eight-armed Nezha. With dazzling movements, he controlled eight guns at the same time and stirred up a storm of bullets in front of him.
The Fire Feather Dragon continued spewing flames to form fire shields in front of it. It used the difference in temperature to create heatwaves, and at the same time, it used the flames to interfere with Han Xing's vision and firing range. It seized the chance to move in a zig-zag pattern and continuously close in on Han Xing.
'What a smart creature!'
Han Xing no longer looked as relaxed and relaxed as before. He noticed that his firepower alone was not enough to suppress the Fire Feather Dragon. He could only watch as the distance between them drew closer.
But he could not give up on shooting, because if he turned around and ran, the Fire Feather Dragon would definitely jump up from behind him and pounce on him.
Crack. Suddenly, an ominous sound came from the gun.
It jammed.
The spirit energy in the Other World could easily interfere with the atomic energy layer of matter and cause fine changes at the molecular level, which would then affect the performance of machines. The failure rate was one hundred times higher than on Earth.
Superbrains, drones, intelligent fighting vehicles, and other precision machines with chips attached to them were the easiest to interfere with and cause malfunctions.
The structure of Han Xing's gun might be simpler compared to the drones, but when the vitality magnetic fields of the superhuman and Nightmarish Beasts clashed violently against each other and the spirit energy crashed into each other like tidal waves, it was inevitable that the gun jammed.
Even though he had five guns firing at the same time, the jamming still messed up his attack rhythm a little.
The Fire Feather Dragon seized the momentary opening and spat a mouthful of magma at Han Xing.
Han Xing gritted his teeth and retreated, but he continued firing.
He did not expect that the magma, which looked like a ball of fire, would explode in the air. Its attack range instantly increased by five times, and it still chased after him like a ghost.
Han Xing was shocked, but he could not dodge in time.
When he saw that the Fire Feather Dragon's Fire Breath was about to give him a hot bath, a strange force suddenly came from behind him and dragged him half a meter to the side. It caused him to brush past the magma by the skin of his teeth.
Han Xing was still shocked. When he turned his head around, he found that Xu Sheng had used a retractable mechanical arm to pull him back.
They looked at each other at a loss, and they could see the fear in each other's eyes.
"Can we contact the experts nearby? This beast is even more ferocious than the Lightning Dragon. It's an out-and-out 'King of Nightmares'. It's not something that the two of us can deal with." Han Xing swallowed hard, feeling that he had swallowed a mouthful of boiling oil.
"Sure."
Xu Sheng nodded and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Help! Someone, help me!"
Han Xing broke out in cold sweat. "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you ask me to contact the powerful fighters nearby?"
Xu Sheng asked. "Since morning, the spirit energy magnetic field interference has been getting worse. The wireless network and tactical data link have all been paralyzed, so we're basically relying on shouting to communicate."
"…"
Before Han Xing could make a retort, the Fire Feather Dragon had already pounced between them. It curled its huge body into a ball and started spinning at high speed like a burning top.
As it spun, dozens of sharp and scalding feathers shot out in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers.
Not only did they shoot Xu Sheng and Han Xing so hard that they covered their heads and fled, they were also stuck in the ground around them. They were like sinister nails. If they were the slightest bit careless and stepped on them, they would be pierced through from the soles to the backs of their feet!
"Looks like there aren't any powerful fighters around us. Cover us with firepower. Let's run!"
Xu Sheng's legs were mechanical prosthetics, and there were pulleys and tracks embedded in them, so he was not too afraid of the fire feathers nailed to the ground. He summoned the last spider fighting vehicle from the fog and used the retractable mechanical arm to scoop Han Xing over.
The two of them were about to flee, but the Fire Feather Dragon noticed their intentions. Thud, thud, thud. It released three Fire Breaths in a row and burned the high-speed mobile spider fighting vehicle Xu Sheng used to protect his life into a pile of scrap metal.
Han Xing and Xu Sheng felt their skin crawl, and they nearly fell into despair.
However, hoarse laughter came from behind the raging flames. "Who said there aren't any powerful fighters around?"
Shao Jianqing walked out slowly with two huge swords that looked like the rotors of a helicopter on her back.
Behind her, two pairs of bright and wild eyes also appeared from the mist.
They were Wu Wu and her Ghost Leopard.
The four specially recruited fighting course students from the alliance of the five universities had all arrived!

Coincidentally, I'm talking about machine masters in this chapter, so I'll give Super Machine Master a push.
Even though it's categorized as a game, I think that this novel is very sci-fi, and there's a lot of information in it. It's one of my favorites. The universe is vast, and it's very exciting. It's worth it for those who haven't read it before to try it!
