"Whoosh!"
Ma Jiao raised his wrist and projected a three-dimensional map of the city from the crystal processor, zooming in on an area filled with a forest of tall buildings.
"Gold Phoenix Avenue is the financial street of Verdant Tarn City. There are many tall buildings on both sides, and the buildings are connected by air corridors. Underground, there are four crystal train lines that extend in all directions. The terrain is extremely complex."
"This is the last stronghold of the demon beasts on the ground. Countless valiant Demon Soldiers are lying dormant on both sides of Gold Phoenix Avenue — it is also the stage for us to display our skills!"
"You want to go to Gold Phoenix Avenue?"
Zhao Tianchong's pupils suddenly contracted.
The financial district was indeed the last stronghold of the demon beasts on the ground. A large number of valiant demon beasts were gathered there, and even high-level Demon Soldiers might exist. The danger was extremely high.
Of course, the military merits and credits obtained in the financial district were also the highest.
"Does your First Military Academy of the Federation not have any senior students to form a team with?" Zhao Tianchong asked.
Ma Jiao faintly smiled and straightforwardly said:
"Naturally, there are some senior students, but most of them disdain to form a team with us newcomers. Even if someone is willing to take us to Gold Phoenix Avenue and behead the demon beasts, they will take the lion's share. We can only share the leftovers, so why bother? It would be better to find a few powerful newcomers and behead the demon beasts. Everyone will share the spoils equally! "
Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan glanced at each other and secretly nodded.
What Ma Jiao said was correct. Forming a team with powerful senior students was indeed a bit safer. However, most senior students were unwilling to take newcomers into the perilous battlefield, thinking that they would be a burden.
Even if someone was willing to take them, the distribution of military merits after beheading the demon beasts would be very disadvantageous to the junior students.
After all, the majority of the demon beasts would certainly be beheaded by them, and the junior students could only wave flags and cheer from the side. Cheer them on.
What's the point of that!
Ma Jiao saw the flames in the eyes of the two and knew that they were already tempted. He faintly smiled and said:
"Zhao Tianchong, when you and I met in the Limit Challenge Competition, we could be considered to have fought a few rounds of life and death. You should know my strength. "
"And this student, Bei Jingjing, is a first-rate sniper. And this student, Chunyu Peng, is the best firepower. And this student beside you, Lu Tieshan from the Magical Fist Sect, I've heard a little about him. He's an outstanding melee fighter."
"The five of us are the elites among the freshmen of our respective academies. We have both long-range firepower and close-combat abilities. We've formed a team. You can definitely challenge the Gold Phoenix Road. What do you think? "
Zhao Tianchong swept a glance at Lu Tieshan. The latter leaned over and whispered in his ear.
"How strong is this Ma Jiao?"
Zhao Tianchong gently nodded.
"Very strong. In the Limit Challenge Competition, I was almost eliminated by him several times. In the end, his total score was only three points lower than mine!"
Lu Tieshan's eyes lit up.
"That's not bad. Although we had Li Yao's heavy firepower in the past, he wasn't a professional gunner. It's very difficult to deal with some demon beasts that are good at long-range shooting. Because of this, we didn't go deep into some dangerous areas where demon beasts gather. Now that we have three powerful gunmen, what's the big deal about the Gold and Phoenix Road? "
Zhao Tianchong thought for a long time before raising his head and saying:
"Ma Jiao. There's no problem in forming a team. However, we still have one more member. If he wants to go, everyone will go together. Otherwise, we won't go. "
"Oh? Your Grand Desolate War Institution's Combat Department still has a powerful newcomer? "
Ma Jiao raised his eyebrows. He was somewhat surprised.
However. From Zhao Tianchong's words, it should be an expert with decent strength.
If that was the case, Ma Jiao didn't mind.
Gun cultivators like them were good at long-range combat. Once demon beasts with extremely high defense got close to them, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, in battle, they needed the protection of sword cultivators and body practitioners who were good at close-combat.
The Federation's First Military College also had a Combat Department. However, it was far inferior to the Grand Desolate War Institution's Combat Department.
This was also the reason why Ma Jiao didn't look for his own classmates and instead looked for Zhao Tianchong to form a team.
If it was a close-combat expert like Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan, Ma Jiao would certainly welcome them!
But to his surprise, Zhao Tianchong's expression was somewhat awkward. He coughed for a long time before saying:
"It's not the Combat Department. It's a newcomer from the Refining Department."
"Refining Department?"
Ma Jiao and the other two were stunned. They looked at each other in dismay. "The Grand Desolate War Institution still has a Refining Department? Oh, I remember now. It seems that they do. Last year, I saw the news on the Internet saying that your Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department had an accident and many people died. "
"But why are you bringing a Refining Department student? Helping us repair our magical equipment? There's no need for that. This operation won't last for too long. At most, it will last for one day and one night. Once the situation isn't right, we will withdraw. The damage to our magical equipment won't be too serious. Besides, we can do some simple repairs ourselves! "
"That's right. Bringing an additional support member is equivalent to bringing an additional burden. After killing the demon beasts, we still have to give him an extra share. Is it necessary?"
The female sniper, Bei Jingjing, coldly said.
At the side, the tall and strong firepower expert, Chunyu Peng, repeatedly nodded his head.
Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan were famous young geniuses in the northern region. They had heard of them and were reassured about the strength of the Grand Desolate War Institution's Combat Department. Therefore, they were willing to form a team to kill.
But a newcomer from the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department?
What's the point of bringing such a toy?
To put it bluntly, if they were to encounter a high-level demon beast, they wouldn't even be able to run away if they were to bring such a burden!
Lu Tieshan, seeing the three people's doubtful faces, promptly explained:
"Although he is a Refining Department student, in our team, he acts as a heavy firepower expert."
It would have been better if he didn't explain. Once he explained, the three people were amused. Ma Jiao couldn't help but laugh:
"Are you kidding me? You want to form a team with us three gunners, and you want to bring your own heavy firepower expert? Did I mishear, or did you misspeak? "
Firepower expert Chunyu Peng even grinned. He patted the heavy machine gun on his waist and said in a muffled voice:
"The Fire Python Model 7 Heavy Machine Gun is the most powerful, fiercest, and has the strongest recoil among the Federation's standard heavy machine guns. The average person simply can't handle it. Even a slightly weaker gunner wouldn't choose this model. How about it? Do you still think the firepower is not fierce enough? You still want to bring your own heavy firepower expert? "
Ma Jiao didn't want to make the atmosphere too stiff, so he explained:
"You two. It's not that we look down on your classmates. Since our Federation's First Military College has sent three people, it's normal for you to send three people. Even if you casually brought a student from the Combat Department who is good at close combat, we wouldn't have any objections. But a freshman from the Refining Department. You still want him to act as a heavy firepower expert. Is this really necessary? "
Ma Jiao pointed at Chunyu Peng. "This classmate of mine comes from a military family. He started playing with guns when he was five years old. He is absolutely the best firepower expert among the freshmen of the Federation's First Military College. With him here, it's enough!"
Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan coughed as their gazes swept towards the Fire Python Model 7 Heavy Machine Gun in Chunyu Peng's hands.
Chunyu Peng felt their gazes and laughed out loud. As if he was demonstrating, he shook the Fire Python Model 7 and said with a smile:
"How about it?"
"The average person can only use the Fire Python Model 5 or Model 6 at most. Those who can use the Fire Python Model 7, apart from me who has innate divine strength, are powerful cultivators who are at the high level of the Refinement Stage or above!"
"I'm afraid you haven't seen this guy's appearance when he's angry. He is simply a metal beast. Like a blazing Fire Python, he can absolutely swallow everything in front of him. Super ferocious, super savage! "
"It's not that I'm looking down on your heavy firepower expert, but what kind of gun does he use? Fire Python Model 4? At most, Model 5? What the hell is that?! "
Lu Tieshan said:
"Our heavy firepower expert doesn't use a Fire Python."
When the three heard this, they were even more disdainful.
The Fire Python Heavy Machine Gun was the most powerful and most ferocious heavy machine gun in the Federation's army.
If it was a powerful gun cultivator at the Building Foundation Stage or above … Of course, there were even more ferocious options.
But for a middle or low level Refinement Stage cultivator, if they wanted to pursue firepower, they would have to use the Fire Python Heavy Machine Gun.
If they didn't even dare to use the Fire Python Heavy Machine Gun, how "heavy" could such a heavy firepower expert be?
Zhao Tianchong sighed and said:
"Forget it. The more I explain, the more confusing it becomes. Li Yao, you should bring all your equipment and come out for a chat. There are plenty of opportunities to sweep up points. I wonder if you're interested? "
Of course, Li Yao was interested.
From the moment he heard the word "team up", Li Yao had been meticulously adjusting his equipment. At this moment, he had just finished adjusting it.
With the battle saber Wind Slasher at his waist, the Six Barrel Rotary Cannon on his shoulder, the heavy ammunition box on his back, and the crystal bombs on his waist, Li Yao lifted the curtain and walked out at a moderate pace.
"..."
The three gun cultivators from the Federation's First Military College stared blankly at the Six Barrel Rotary Cannon on Li Yao's shoulder. All of them were dumbfounded.
In particular, Chunyu Peng, who used the Fire Python Model 7 Heavy Machine Gun, had a thoroughly red face.
Fortunately, his hair was heavy and his stubble was thick, so it was hard to see.
After staring blankly for a long time, Chunyu Peng stammered:
"You, you're kidding, right? A single soldier using a Six Barrel Rotary Cannon? Is this a freshman or a Building Foundation Stage powerhouse?! "
Zhao Tianchong started up his mini crystal processor and pulled up Li Yao's battle video.
Suddenly, the roar of the cannon and the screams of the demon beasts could be heard from the camp.
The three gun cultivators put their heads together and watched in absolute silence. Cold sweat seeped out of their foreheads.
In the eyes of these three gun cultivators who were proficient in gun kungfu, Li Yao's marksmanship was completely at the level of a layman.
However, the Six Barrel Rotary Cannon had never been a weapon that paid particular attention to accuracy. Just by relying on Li Yao's astonishing monstrous strength, he had poured out firepower like a volcanic eruption, suppressing the demon beasts to the point that they couldn't even lift their heads. This was enough to subdue everyone present.
Needless to say, after completing the suppressive mission, Li Yao had swung his Heavy Vibroblade and pounced forward, displaying a rather fierce close combat ability.
He could fight and defend, and he was also from the Refining Department. He possessed above average magical equipment maintenance abilities.
This was simply a composite talent that every combat squad yearned for even in their dreams. No wonder Zhao Tianchong wanted to bring him along no matter what!
The three of them glanced at each other, their six eyes sparkling.
Not only was there excitement in Ma Jiao's eyes, there was also a trace of increasingly strong doubt.
He tilted his head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes widened and his entire body jumped up. He pointed at Li Yao and shouted:
"You're called Li Yao? Are you from Floating Spear City? "
Li Yao stared blankly for a moment before nodding his head.
Ma Jiao's expression was even more aghast. His voice was trembling:
"So to say, in the Limit Challenge Competition, the monster that blew Gao Ye's command center into the sky … was you?"
