"He is the one who got rid of Gao Ye!"
This time, even the female sniper, Bei Jingjing, who had a rather cold and arrogant attitude a moment ago, screamed. She looked at Li Yao with eyes full of disbelief.
Gao Ye was the most dazzling new star among the freshmen of the Federation's First Military Academy.
Although he was a newcomer of the Command Department and had only been in the school for half a year, the frightening computing and commanding abilities he displayed were not inferior to the senior students.
Under Gao Ye's command, Ma Jiao, Bei Jingjing, Chunyu Peng, and the other freshmen had fought against the strong many times. They had forcibly withstood the fierce attacks of the senior students and had even won a few times by luck. They were hailed as the strongest freshmen of the Federation's First Military Academy in the last ten years!
Ma Jiao and the others didn't just admire Gao Ye's commanding ability; they simply worshipped him. They regarded him as an invincible commanding genius.
However, after Gao Ye got dead drunk at a party, he very sadly told them that he had once tasted defeat at the hands of a peer named "Li Yao". Moreover, it was a crushing defeat. He had been cleanly "beheaded" by Li Yao!
At that time, Gao Ye and the others were extremely shocked. They also deeply remembered the name "Li Yao".
He had infiltrated the enemy's rear by himself and lay dormant in the enemy's headquarters for several hours. He had taken advantage of the chaos to plant bombs and blow up the enemy's supreme commander along with dozens of experts into the sky...
If a person who could accomplish all of this was placed in a military academy, he would absolutely be a "Soldier King"!
After listening to Gao Ye's introduction, even Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan were somewhat dazed.
Originally, they only knew that Li Yao was a newcomer of the southeast region who had entered the Grand Desolate War Institution under the strong recommendation of Ding Ling Dong. However, they didn't know that he had such a glorious history.
Infiltrating the enemy's rear by himself, wiping out the enemy's command center, and killing dozens of the enemy's core personnel in one breath?
That was too exaggerated!
The two of them had killed their way out of the Limit Challenge Competition. They were well aware of the difficulty of the Limit Challenge Competition.
Everything Li Yao had done. It was truly beyond their reach.
The two of them looked at each other. Their faces were burning as they felt ashamed.
When they first entered the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, the two of them were still arrogant. They looked down on Li Yao, the "Top Scholar of the College Entrance Examination", and thought that he was the loser of the Limit Challenge Competition. It was no big deal.
Who would have thought that the other party was so valiant, yet he had hidden his strength so deeply!
Ma Jiao didn't notice their shock and sighed.
"Student Li Yao, when we were at the Federation's First Military Academy, we often heard Student Gao Ye talk about you. During the Limit Challenge Competition, not only did you infiltrate deep into enemy territory by yourself, you single-handedly annihilated the enemy's entire command center. You even managed to kill a beast that had been injected with stimulants before your spirit root had even awakened. A mutated large-eyed ape! "
"According to the post-event analysis, this large-eyed ape's strength is very likely to have reached the level of a 'low-level Demon Soldier'. This is simply too shocking!"
"What?"
Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan felt their scalp go numb. Their entire spine felt ice-cold.
He had killed a low-level demon soldier when his spiritual root had not been awakened and he was still an ordinary person?
Such a person had always been by their side, and they had once underestimated him. You want to easily take him down?
Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan let out a sigh of relief at the same time. They had a faint feeling of surviving a calamity.
They were convinced. The two were completely convinced by Li Yao.
Li Yao, however, was somewhat embarrassed.
Infiltrating deep into enemy territory by himself and annihilating the enemy's command center was indeed his doing, but the mutated large-eyed ape wasn't killed by him alone. He mainly relied on Zheng Dongming's Demonic Blood Cannon to seriously injure the large-eyed ape, allowing him to luckily succeed.
However, there was no need to explain the truth of the matter to others.
Li Yao changed the topic and asked.
"Infiltrating deep into Gold Phoenix Avenue. How many benefits can we obtain? "
Zhao Tianchong replied.
"This will depend on our performance and luck. Gold Phoenix Avenue is the final stronghold of the surface demon beasts. There are many powerful demon beasts gathered there. Killing these demon beasts will give us a large amount of credits, and once we clear out a safe area, we'll get more credits. If we're lucky, we'll be able to kill several hundred low-level demon soldiers, several dozen mid-level demon soldiers, and completely clear out the demon beasts in a high-rise building. Maybe we'll be able to obtain several thousand credits in one breath! "
"One mission, several thousand credits?"
Li Yao's pair of eyes suddenly shined brighter than the three gun cultivators. Flames that seemed to have substance suddenly erupted from the depths of his pupils. The heavy vibrating saber at his waist issued a whining sound from its scabbard. It couldn't wait to be unsheathed and drink blood!
Although this kind of operation was certainly very dangerous.
So what?
Everyone who came out to cultivate didn't think of returning alive!
… …
Gold Phoenix Avenue was worthy of being the final stronghold of the demon beasts on the surface.
There were many high-rise buildings here, and the underground extended in all directions. There were many places to hide. Even if a battleship's main cannon razed the ground to the ground, it would still be impossible to eliminate all the demon beasts.
The demon beasts that were able to survive in the fierce battle until now were all extremely vicious, sinister, and cunning species.
Normally, they would hibernate within the dilapidated walls, disappearing without a trace.
Once they sensed the aura of a human, they would rush out like a tide. All kinds of demon beasts would mix together, and all kinds of soldiers would be present.
After entering Gold Phoenix Avenue for an hour, Li Yao and the others had already encountered three waves of demon beasts. Each wave had more than fifty demon beasts.
And the number of demon beasts in front of them had even exceeded a hundred.
Although most of them were unranked Green-Skinned Saber Mantises, there were also a number of Black Armored Saber Mantises mixed in. There were even two Gold Armored Saber Mantises overseeing the rear.
What was even more troublesome was that there seemed to be a demon beast that was good at long-range attacks lurking in the darkness behind the hundred Saber Mantises. It emitted a dangerous needle-like aura, causing everyone to feel uneasy and the corners of their eyes to twitch.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
Li Yao, Ma Jiao, and Chunyu Peng, the three of them madly fired. The barrage was like rain.
The Green-Skinned Saber Mantises had yet to evolve a solid carapace, so a few bullets could kill them. And once they were swept by Li Yao's Six Barrel Rotary Cannon or Chunyu Peng's Fire Python Model 7 Heavy Machine Gun, they would explode on the spot, turning into a mass of blue meat paste.
However, there were really too many Green-Skinned Saber Mantises. The Black Armored Saber Mantises and Gold Armored Saber Mantises were mixed in. Using the Green-Skinned Saber Mantises as cover, they quietly approached everyone.
At this time, they had to rely on Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan to display their superb close combat skills. Sniper Bei Jingjing also brandished two pistols, firing left and right to supplement the close range firepower.
Standing together with the two professional firearms cultivators, Li Yao immediately discovered the gap between them.
Even though he was using the powerful Six Barrel Rotary Cannon, the two of them were using the Fire Python Model 7 Heavy Machine Gun and assault rifle.
But in terms of lethality, he was actually the weakest.
He had to concentrate his firepower for seven or eight seconds to completely kill a Black Armored Saber Mantis.
And Chunyu Peng used the Fire Python Model 7 Heavy Machine Gun, so he only needed two or three seconds to kill it.
Even Ma Jiao, who used an assault rifle, didn't need three seconds.
Even Bei Jingjing, who was brandishing a small pistol, could occasionally shoot a Black Armored Saber Mantis in the head.
"My firearm is obviously the most powerful, so why is it the weakest?"
Not waiting for Li Yao to start thinking, a sharp gust of wind hit him in the face.
Fortunately, everyone was already prepared. They didn't find it cumbersome to wear the thickest bulletproof vest. Sensing danger, the bulletproof vest's crystal stone suddenly flashed, releasing a layer of high-strength Spiritual Shield.
With a "pop" sound, the Spiritual Shield violently vibrated. A black poison needle stubbornly penetrated the Spiritual Shield, but its speed was slowed down.
Li Yao tilted his head, and the poison needle brushed past his cheek. With a "ding" sound, it deeply pierced into the ground, sinking three centimeters into the ground.
"It's the Poison Dart Scorpion! Sniper! "
Ma Jiao suddenly shouted.
Bei Jingjing narrowed her eyes and quickly retreated behind everyone. She knelt on one knee and picked up the long package on her back. After unwrapping the linen, it turned out to be a light gray sniper rifle. Mysterious and complex spirit patterns lingered around the rifle, as if it was a hand-carved work of art.
Bei Jingjing's mouth muttered an incantation. Spirit energy visible to the naked eye seemed to appear around her body. Following her rapid chanting, all of it spiraled into the barrel of the rifle.
Her eyes grew brighter and brighter. Even during the day, they were clearly visible like the stars in the night sky.
When the light was stimulated to the extreme, she didn't seem to be aiming. She aimed at the sky in front of her and fired.
"Whoosh!"
A blue light whizzed out from the muzzle and soared into the sky.
Li Yao was stunned. Wasn't this shot a bit too off?
Unexpectedly, the blue light drew a strange curve in midair. It actually turned a corner and plunged into the back of the dilapidated walls. With a "pop" sound, a purplish-black blood arrow soared into the sky, dying the entire dilapidated walls a purplish-black color.
After that, no more poison needles were shot.
Li Yao was dumbstruck. The Poison Arrow Scorpion was the same as the Gold Armored Saber Mantis. It was also a mid-level Demon Soldier. Not only was its speed extremely fast, it also possessed a decent defensive power. Moreover, it was best at hiding and dodging.
It was actually killed by Bei Jingjing in one shot?
"A bullet that can turn and its power is so great. Truly amazing!"
Compared to the three professional Gun Cultivators, Li Yao felt that what he was holding was simply a fire stick.
Half an hour later, the battle was over. The six of them sat together in a circle to recuperate.
Li Yao finally couldn't help but ask:
"Student Ma Jiao, why is the power of your standard weapons so great? It's even more powerful than my Six Barrel Rotary Cannon. Has it been specially modified?"
"There's also Student Bei Jingjing who killed the Poison Arrow Scorpion with one shot. I just went to take a look at the Poison Arrow Scorpion's corpse. Its entire body had exploded. There wasn't a single piece of flesh larger than a palm. What kind of bullet is this? Not only can it turn, but its destructive power is also so strong?"
Ma Jiao laughed and said rather proudly:
"We used the most common standard firearms. Admittedly, the power of Bei Jingjing's sniper rifle's bullet is a bit greater, but it's also common goods that are mass-produced. There's nothing special about it."
"However, we are Gun Cultivators. We practice Gun Kata. Of course, it's different from amateur gunmen."
"Gun Kata?"
Li Yao's curiosity raged. (To be continued...)
