Looking at the coordinates on the map, he and Warlord were getting closer and closer to the first marked competitor. Lin Huang was considering whether he should make a move himself or let Warlord do it.
However, the competitor suddenly changed direction and began to flee frantically in the direction away from Lin Huang and Warlord.
"Have we … been discovered?" Lin Huang glanced at the distance. He was clearly more than twenty thousand meters away from the competitor, but the competitor had suddenly fled. It was obvious that he had some special detection or danger sensing technique that had sensed Lin Huang and Warlord's approach. "He's fleeing so quickly. Is it because he knows there are two of us?"
"Do you need me to attack? Or chase after him? "Warlord asked.
"You can attack him?" Lin Huang was a little surprised.
His Divine Telekinesis was limited to a range of one thousand meters, and the furthest his telekinetic flying daggers could attack was also one thousand meters. Any further and he would be out of control. Moreover, in a situation where his Divine Telekinesis could not be locked onto, there was no way to determine the opponent's exact location. Moreover, there were so many obstacles in the way of the buildings. It was very difficult to launch an effective attack from a distance of twenty thousand meters.
Hearing Lin Huang's question, Warlord nodded slightly. "Yes."
"Then you do it. If you can kill him, kill him. If you can't, just hold him back. "
After receiving Lin Huang's order, three baseball-sized metal spheres suddenly appeared in Warlord's palm. He tossed them lightly, and the three spheres automatically floated up and formed a triangle in the air. They then shot out of the window and fled into the distance.
A moment later, a strange scene was shown on the surveillance screen.
Three white pillars of light that resembled holy light descended from the sky and completely enveloped the competitor who had just stepped out of a large door and was walking down the stairs.
Lin Huang only heard a shrill scream from the video. It sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
A moment later, the white pillars of light dissipated. A figure in ragged clothes and singed hair fell to his knees. He struggled with all his might for a moment before he managed to stand up. He then staggered and continued to flee forward.
However, he had barely taken two steps when the three white pillars of light descended from the sky again, once again enveloping his entire body.
Another mournful howl came from the video. This one was even more miserable than the first one.
After a while, the pillar of light dissipated again. The figure's head was almost burnt bald, and the clothes on his body were so shabby that they could barely cover the places that should be covered.
This time, the competitor fell to the ground. He tried to get up for a long time, but he couldn't. He could only turn around and shout towards the sky, "I admit defeat."
His opponent had only used two attacks, yet the Divine Power in his body was almost drained. He knew very well that he would really die if he continued to hold on. Thus, he decisively chose to admit defeat.
As he watched his competitor's body gradually disintegrate in the video, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of Lin Huang.
[Defeated competitor, points awarded + 2]
This competitor should already have 1 point, plus the 1 basic point for defeating him, so Lin Huang got 2 points for this battle.
Lin Huang immediately clicked on his personal page to check.
"Participant: Xie Lin"
"Points: 2"
"Ranking: 386"
Although they both had 2 points, Lin Huang was ranked 386th. He was not surprised. After all, more than an hour ago, there were more than 100 competitors with more than 2 points.
After closing the page, Lin Huang turned his head and asked curiously. He had been wanting to ask this question for a long time.
"What were those three spheres earlier?"
"It's a weapon similar to a planet's rail gun. It's more suitable for airborne attacks like this where there's no vision. The advantage of this weapon is that on one hand, it can attack from a long distance. On the other hand, it's very accurate, almost down to the millimeter range … "Warlord explained excitedly. He rarely took the initiative to express any opinions, but he would immediately become a chatterbox when it came to topics related to machinery.
After listening for a while, Lin Huang's head was swelling. He had no choice but to interrupt Warlord.
"Let's head directly to the second target's location."
Since the first competitor had admitted defeat, there was no corpse left behind. Naturally, there was no loot left for them to loot. There was no need to rush to the previous battlefield.
The two of them immediately turned and sped in the direction of the second competitor.
On the way, Warlord asked again, "Do you want me to attack directly? The ball cannon we used earlier would be much faster than us. "
"Let's wait until we're closer." Lin Huang rejected Warlord's suggestion this time. "Don't act rashly and alert the enemy. We won't be able to catch up when the time comes."
As they had to pass through the buildings, the walls of the buildings could not be penetrated. The movement speed of the competitors was greatly hindered. Lin Huang and Warlord were no exception.
It took them a minute or two to cover the distance of tens of kilometers.
When they were about five kilometers away from the target, Lin Huang finally said to Warlord, "You can attack now."
The next second, the ball cannon that had already locked onto the target suddenly fired again. Three beams of holy light completely enveloped the second competitor.
However, the second competitor's temper was much more stubborn than the first.
After being hit, he realized that he was being attacked by three small metal balls. He swung his sword and slashed at the ball cannon.
Naturally, things did not go as he wished. He was basically beaten up. His several counterattacks did not even manage to cut down a single ball cannon.
In order to suppress the fierce resistance, Warlord even personally controlled the ball cannon to attack him three times.
In the end, this competitor was still killed on the spot by Warlord's ball cannon because he had exhausted his Divine Power and refused to admit defeat no matter what.
After Lin Huang and Warlord rushed to the scene, they searched the place and stored the corpse in their storage space.
At this point, Lin Huang's points had finally risen to three points. Although his ranking had risen significantly, he was still not on the leaderboard.
The 100th place on the leaderboard had already been at three points half an hour ago.
"How powerful is your ball cannon's attack?" On the way to the third target, Lin Huang could not help asking.
"Individually, its attack power is about the same as my normal attack power. It can cause damage to ordinary Virtual God rank-9s, but it's very difficult to kill. However, this attack can be strengthened by stacking the number of cannons. Three ball cannons stacked together can almost double its power.
"The more the ball cannons are stacked, the less stable it will be and the more uncontrollable it will be. I can only stack eight of them at the moment, which will increase the attack power by about four times … "
Warlord became talkative again when they talked about mechanics-related topics again.
Feeling helpless, Lin Huang could only interrupt him again.
"When Bloody comes back, you can ask her to help you study it and try to improve this skill. The stability and controllability shouldn't be difficult to solve. It's just a problem of energy circulation. "
