In Sheyan's pre-battle analysis, he had only considered the possibility of an explosive strike from the troll. Hence, he specially used his axe to parry. He didn't expect that with such a huge disparity in strength, there would be such a crushing effect! Such an incomparably ferocious additional attack was extremely valiant. Moreover, it seemed like it would appear every time it attacked. Furthermore, it had a terrifying defence ignoring effect! If it wasn't for his [Endurance] innate skill, that attack would have taken his life!
Apart from that, Sheyan was able to dodge the troll's frontal attack not because of his agility, but because of his perceptive sensing which far exceeded the troll's. Once the troll brandished its gigantic club, its attack speed wasn't considered slow. But it was still a beginner tier legendary creature, its actions before attacking were rather sluggish. For example, the troll's attack interval was 5 seconds, then it needed 4.5 seconds to raise its club, and 0.5 seconds to swing its club down. This was the main reason why Sheyan was able to dodge most of its frontal attacks.
Although Sheyan had personally witnessed the troll falling into the trap when he was sent flying, he still alertly confirmed that the troll didn't pursue him. He then fished out his' Endless Vodka 'and gulped down two mouthfuls. His HP recovered by 25 x 2 = 50 points. Following that, he immediately used the US army bandage he extorted from the Banks Syndicate – Venter to bind his wounds. Its effect was to stop bleeding and recover 50 HP within 30 seconds. Finally, his HP was restored to 50% and above. He then decided to approach the battlefield to observe the situation. He believed that the Symbiosis sect wouldn't be able to notice his presence at this moment.
While cautiously approaching the battlefield, Sheyan recalled the situation and felt a lingering fear. As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes. He didn't expect that he would be sent flying 20 metres by the troll's club without a chance to retaliate. If the troll didn't fall into the trap after sending him flying, if it continued to pursue him, if it wasn't willing to give up on its prey … … then undoubtedly Qiao Gun and his group of scum would have stood by the side and watched. Sheyan's fate would have been sealed.
But after some thought, Sheyan felt relieved. Because from the start, he didn't have any good intentions. In Sheyan's plan, if anything happened, he would definitely betray the Symbiosis sect members lying in ambush. That's right, he couldn't outrun the mountain troll, but just like the famous saying of a black-bellied scientist: In front of a hungry brown bear, as long as I can outrun you, that's enough. Once the mountain troll had food, the opportunity to escape would naturally appear. Since you treated others as stepping stones, others would treat you as a chess piece that could be casually discarded.
Sheyan didn't directly rush to the battlefield. Instead, he took a huge detour before climbing up a tall tree at a downwind location. This way, once the troll obtained an absolute victory, it wouldn't be able to sniff out his scent and chase after him. The tree was roughly 30 metres away from the battlefield. The sparks from the battlefield could be faintly seen, casting mottled shadows on the tree. The roars of the troll and waves of stench drifted over.
Originally when Sheyan was sent flying, the hearts of Qiao Gun and the rest had sunk. Sheyan's failure meant one thing: The risk of facing the troll would be transferred to the Symbiosis sect. After witnessing the prowess of the troll, they definitely didn't want to experience the feeling of being waved around by a giant tree.
Who would have thought that at this moment, the situation would take a sudden turn. Because the giant monster had used too much strength, it had unluckily missed a step and fell into the trap! This caused a feeling of ecstasy to surge in their hearts. But the troll was originally a humanoid creature. When its front leg stepped into the trap, its entire body naturally fell forward. Apart from releasing a series of weird cries, its hands were wildly waving about in the air as though it was trying to grab onto something.
In the end, when the Symbiosis sect members were digging the trap, they missed out on one thing. That was the huge wooden club in the troll's hands. This thing was originally the sturdiest part of a tree, it was at least 4-5 metres long and coincidentally wedged horizontally in the trap ….. the troll was originally 4 metres tall and possessed boundless strength. Both its hands held onto its huge club tightly, as its two thick legs kicked randomly, causing the soil of the trap to crumble. If this carried on, in just a few minutes, the entire trap would be destroyed! Edited by: Lifer, Fingerfox Translated by XianXiaWorld Edited by: Lifer, Fingerfox
Boom boom boom boom! After a series of loud explosions, smoke filled the air and the agonizing cries of the troll could be heard. The 3 hand grenades that Qiao Gun tossed out were extremely precise. Coincidentally, it caused a small dent in the wall of the trap. Furthermore, the troll used its enormous weight to forcefully pull the giant club away. Instantly, the stuck club was dragged into the pit. Amidst the rolling rocks, the mountain troll had completely fallen into the trap. Its enraged roar shook the surrounding leaves and caused them to fall to the ground.
"Success!" Qiao Gun leapt up, waving his arms as he shouted. "Everyone attack! “
The Symbiosis sect members didn't dare to not attack. Instead, the fastest one was Diaz. No one knew where he was previously hiding, but once the troll fell into the trap, he had already appeared in the darkness. His left hand was hanging on a large tree branch 20 metres away, while his right hand was wielding a rifle. Using a standard tactical stance, he pulled the trigger. Fire!
"Pa pa pa" 3 crisp gunshots rang out. The muzzle flare of the Mauser rifle illuminated Diaz's emotionless face. One could clearly see, the 3 bullets that he fired carried a faint spiralling trail of smoke. They brushed past the troll's left ear and penetrated deep into its left eye!
Although Sheyan couldn't see the exact damage, but looking at the contorted expression of the troll, he knew the might of the shot. Following that, grenades, darts, AKs and other lethal weapons were shot out like raindrops from the hands of the Symbiosis sect long range attackers. Only Diaz coldly hung from the tree, steadily and monotonously firing one bullet after another at a 5 second interval. Although the gunshots weren't loud, it had a kind of oppressive feeling that shook the heart and organs of those who heard it. Just listening to it made one feel like coughing up blood, it could be seen how terrifying the power of the bullets were.
"This brat indeed has the capital to be arrogant." As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, one will know. After Diaz displayed his shooting prowess, not only did the gazes of the Symbiosis sect members change, even Sheyan who was spying in the dark was astonished. Diaz's shooting movements and rhythm were like a pianist performing a famous piece. It was like moving clouds and flowing water, filled with a sense of artistic beauty. It added a sense of beauty to the cruel massacre.
Previously during the confrontation with the Banks Syndicate, Diaz suffered from a pincer attack from both sides. He looked like he was in a difficult situation and was completely unable to display his true strength. Only now did he display his true strength. Qiao Gun's heart was filled with vigilance. According to Diaz's display of strength, even the 28 points pinnacle strength Venter wouldn't be his match!
Thinking of this, Qiao Gun couldn't help but signal to his subordinates to be more vigilant. Although both parties had signed a temporary contract, there were still many loopholes to exploit. If one naively thought that a contract could guarantee their safety, then they would really die without a burial ground! The few members of the Symbiosis sect glanced at each other, before quietly creeping towards Diaz. Their objective was obviously to obstruct him, to prevent Diaz from picking up the key dropped by the mountain troll.
From afar, Sheyan sneered. This bunch of Symbiosis sect members were truly possessed. Others said to burn the bridge after crossing the river, but at this moment, the river wasn't crossed yet, and they were already plotting against their allies. Such actions couldn't be described with the word 'stupid'. Indeed, Diaz was originally in a high vantage point, he could clearly see the surrounding movements. He wasn't an idiot, he sneered and immediately leapt down from the tree. With an indescribable speed, he once again disappeared into the darkness.
At present, Sheyan could tell that Diaz was an unconventional gunner that focused on both agility and strength. This type of gunner possessed decent mid range attacks, and was even able to engage in close combat with his opponent. He wouldn't be at a disadvantage, but his weakness was his lack of stamina. His lack of perceptive sense had caused him to give up on the possibility of mastering high firing rate and high tech long range weapons. Furthermore, he would be at a disadvantage when encountering enemies with high perceptive sense. But to early stage long range combatants, not only would this path greatly increase their survival rate, they would also be able to balance their shooting damage. No matter what, survival was the most important.
Taking advantage of the momentary pause in the firepower suppression, the troll within the trap took advantage of this opportunity. With a strange roar, it stretched out its arms and leapt up, actually grabbing onto the side of the trap! Its legs frantically stomped, its sharp and thick nails were like shovels as it dug out the mud from the wall. It was actually attempting to forcefully escape from the trap. (To be continued.
