In the distance, several hunters wearing ragged clothes and messy hair looked at the well-equipped patrol members with a complicated expression.
They belonged to the hunters who didn't join Ding Qiang's gang to cause trouble for the shelter. They also refused to be bound and didn't become the shelter's permanent staff.
As a mobile staff, they could freely accept employment tasks issued by the shelter every day in exchange for rewards.
They could live like this, and they could eat until they were full. Their lives were not bad.
That was how they comforted themselves before they saw the patrol members.
But when they saw the patrol members' equipment, they felt that they had lived like a dog.
"The patrol's treatment is too good. Generally, each of them only has a cold weapon. Those who have a pistol are at the captain level. But look at them, each of them has a rifle, and they're dressed in the same uniform. That's ridiculous!"
"So what?!" Another hunter was quite jealous, "These uniforms are flashy. It's the doomsday. Who cares about this uniform? They think they're the army of a large shelter! The army is wearing bulletproof or stab resistant clothing. What's the use of these uniforms? Just wait and see. When they come back from the wilderness, these uniforms will become ragged. "
"That's right. What's the use of their good equipment? Surviving is the key. We didn't join the patrol team because it's too dangerous. Going out to search for supplies or even hunting demonic beasts is a dangerous job. If demonic beasts were that easy to kill, would we still stay in the first awakening stage?" "That's right.
The others were silent.
After becoming a hunter and knowing that killing demonic beasts could improve their strength, many people were excited. Wasn't this the standard mode of killing demonic beasts to level up and reach the peak of life? Even some young people who were influenced by online novels understood the principle of one step ahead. After the initial awakening, they wanted to quickly kill demonic beasts and walk in front of the hunter army.
And then … these people died.
Without superb combat skills and a suitable weapon, how could an ordinary hunter fight against a demonic beast?
They were well aware of this. They had seen too many confident hunters who died under the claws of the demonic beasts in the first encounter. Now, they had long lost the courage to attack the demonic beast. But their escape skills had been perfected.
I don't believe they can kill the demonic beast. Luo Tiemian is powerful, but he's only one person. How can he take care of everything? I also know there are many ordinary people in the team. I'd like to see how many of them can make it back alive. "
…
Lu Xiaopeng held his longsword and glanced at the short buildings around him.
The team was about to step into the county. Sparse buildings began to appear around them. Such an environment was even more dangerous. Demonic beasts could pounce from a corner at any time. If they didn't react in time, even a hunter could easily die.
"Clang!"
A light sound came from a shop not far away. Following which, a few black shadows rushed out. Their speed was extremely fast, and in a short while, they had crossed more than half of the distance.
Lu Xiaopeng panicked. It was the first time for him to face several demonic beasts at once. Even though he had a lot of teammates around him, this kind of emotion was like instinct. It made his brain confused, he didn't know what to do.
"Raise your gun and shoot."
Captain Roger's calm voice came. Lu Xiaopeng immediately came back to his senses. He raised his gun and aimed the muzzle at the front. The muzzle spat out a tongue of fire.
After the initial panic, the others reacted quickly and raised their guns to shoot.
Their marksmanship wasn't accurate. For a hunter like Lu Xiaopeng, apart from the university military training, he had never touched a gun before. His marksmanship was even worse. However, the demonic beast was already very close to them. They didn't even need to aim as the bullets shot into the demonic beast's fur.
These demonic beasts looked like enlarged mice. They were twice the size of the demonic steel rats. But they were just ordinary demonic beasts. Under the bursts of fire, these demonic beasts quickly fell to the ground and struggled.
The patrol members didn't panic anymore. They held their guns and steadily aimed at the demonic beasts' vital points, giving the demonic beasts a final fatal blow.
Soon, the demonic beasts completely lost their breath.
In the distance.
The other Awakened ones who were following behind were also shocked by what they saw.
Some people were envious, "As expected of a firearm and a rifle. The lethality is not the same."
"They seem to be able to absorb spirit power from this distance, right?"
"Spirit power! In that case, after this trip, the awakened ones in the patrol team will probably become a lot stronger. I'm so envious. If I had known earlier, I would have joined the patrol team. I still don't know what it feels like to absorb soul power. "
"Oh! Look at how many bullets they used to kill these demonic beasts. Do you think they can always use this method? "
Some hunters were disdainful. He pointed out the patrol team's weakness.
Indeed, the patrol members' marksmanship was limited. They could only kill these demonic beasts by relying on a wide range of bullets. They didn't know how many bullets were wasted. Bullets were scarce, and some of the guns in the shelters were just for show. They wanted to see how long they could last with such a waste of bullets.
Then.
The patrol team continued to move forward. With the experienced Roger, the patrol team was very methodical. Every time a demonic beast rushed out, the patrol team members had enough time to react.
With the experience, the team members held the rifle more firmly.
Shoot, change the clip, shoot.
The demonic beasts were killed one after another.
The hunters behind them: "??!!!"
Why did they always discover demonic beasts in advance?!
Why didn't they run out of bullets?!
Why were they so excited? Why did it feel so good to absorb spirit power?!
Lu Xiaopeng and the other patrol team members didn't know that several hunters in the distance had so many thoughts in their minds.
After killing demonic beasts and absorbing spirit power, their courage had also increased a lot. Although these demonic beasts looked terrifying, they were just experience babies. In that case, there was nothing to be afraid of.
At another corner, a four-hooved demonic beast with antlers spotted the patrol team and roared as it rushed over.
Lu Xiaopeng looked at Roger. This time, they weren't asked to shoot. Instead, they heard, "This demonic beast's strength is about the first awakening stage. It's very suitable for your training. Who wants to come?"
Training? Fighting a demonic beast one-on-one?
So this was the special training that Captain Roger mentioned!
"I'll do it!"
Lu Xiaopeng stepped forward and saw several other hunters were also opening their mouths, but they could only swallow their words. Obviously, they had the same idea, but they were a step slower than him.
… …..
The hunters in the distance couldn't understand what was going on.
"What are they doing?"
"It looks like they're going to fight a demonic beast one-on-one?"
The person who spoke couldn't believe it himself. Fighting a demonic beast one-on-one? That's a joke!
At the same level, unless they had firearms, several hunters working together to fight a demonic beast would be in danger of being killed by it. But now, they gave up hot weapons and chose cold weapons instead. Did they want to fight a demonic beast one-on-one?
Are they stupid?
They stared at it intently.
In the distance, the other members of the patrol team, including Iron Mask Luo, stood in the rear. Only one person stepped forward with a long sword in his hand. It looked like he wanted to face the demonic beast alone.
"Are the patrol team members so arrogant? I know that person, his name is Lu Xiaopeng. He brags all day long about how strong he is. In fact, he can't even defeat an ordinary demonic beast. How could he have the courage to face a demonic beast alone?"
"I bet in ten seconds, that Mr. Lu will be beaten by the demonic beast and run away."
"Hehe, ten seconds? You think too highly of him. If he doesn't handle it well, he'll be dead in less than three seconds. Even if Iron Mask Luo wants to rescue him, he might not be able to …"
However, the man suddenly froze in the middle of his words. It's not that he suddenly choked on his saliva, but the scene in the distance was really confusing to him.
In the beginning, Lu Xiaopeng's tentative attack successfully aroused the ferocity of the demonic beast.
The demonic beast fiercely pounced on him, and Lu Xiaopeng dodged in panic.
In just a few seconds, it looked like a dangerous situation. In the end, Lu Xiaopeng couldn't dodge and was killed by the demonic beast. And then … the demonic beast died.
They seemed to see a flash of silver light cut through the demonic beast's head, splitting it in half.
What the hell happened?!
