For Desert Tiger, the nature of human beings was like the multiverse, chaotic and manic. They were driven by survival instinct, the desire to mate, and endless greed, and they would only bring about decay and corruption. Only by destroying and rebuilding them would order return to the light of day.
Desert Tiger's attitude toward human beings was like a housewife with mysophobia facing the stain on the stove. Once he saw a human, he would not hesitate to clean them clean …
Boom!
Desert Tiger's fist landed on the sand, and it stirred up a wave of sand. The impact forced Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul back, and they stumbled a distance away. Even though they were not directly hit by the attack, the shockwave caused them to lose eight percent of their Life Points, and they were inflicted with the effect of Slow for several seconds.
There was another round of cheers. It looked like the audience was very satisfied with the way this executioner greeted the audience.
"Thunder Strike, this is …" Feng Bujue held his chin and looked at the livestream on the screen. He mumbled softly, "If the opponent is a Transformer … then Xiao Tan's title skill, Bee's Sting, should be useless. It states that it comes with the effect of Bleeding, so it won't change into something like Oil Leak or Electricity Leak when used on a robot." He titled his head. "Laughing Soul's main weapon is a gun. Even though bullets are more useful than swords, facing this kind of opponent, it will be hard to deal with her …"
Then, on the screen, Desert Tiger had launched his next round of attack.
As a robot, seeing the humans before him open fire, if he did not use some heavy firepower, it would be embarrassing for him. A rectangular firing port popped out from each side of his knees, and with two whooshing sounds … two guided missiles flew at the retreating Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul.
Boom! Boom!
Two smaller explosions blasted out two sand pits and sent a lot of sand into the air. However, Xiao Tan and Laughing Soul were not hit directly. They managed to evade the attack and only suffered some damage from the shockwave.
Therefore … missiles, be it intercontinental or miniature, could be used to attack large heat sources, but if they were used to attack living humans, they would not be able to track them. Using a machine gun would be more effective.
"Hey! Mr. Yoo. " Feng Bujue moved the microphone away and whispered to Mr. Yoo, who was not far away from him. "Do you mind if I ask … what is the basis for the allocation of the executioners at the coliseum? Was it randomly assigned? Or is it based on the race, number, or score of the contestants? "
Mr. Yoo glanced at him and smiled. He did not use the microphone but whispered back, "Just combine what you said. Hue hue … It is based on the power level of those two."
Feng Bujue probed, "In other words … if Contestant Wang had entered the arena alone, he wouldn't have met this guy?"
"Haha … Of course, there is a difference in power level between one person and two." Mr. Yoo gave a definite answer.
"I see …" Feng Bujue said, "No wonder the fat guy used the phrase 'one versus two bloody mission' … It seems that more people entering the arena won't bring any benefits. And if one enters alone, even Passing Rain won't gain any advantage because the stronger player will encounter the stronger monster. " He thought about it for a few seconds. "Hmm … Considering the exhaustion of Life Points and Stamina Points, it seems like we should take turns to be the last in the quiz round. That way, we can share some of the pressure of the battle."
Mr. Yoo's yell into the microphone pulled Feng Bujue's attention back to the screen. "Look, Contestant No. 4 is going to fight back!"
On the screen, Laughing Soul's small figure charged at the robot giant, and she was holding a gun in her hand.
Xiao Tan had no idea what Laughing Soul was up to, but he still gathered his courage and ran forward. He kept firing at Desert Tiger to provide cover.
Desert Tiger saw his opponent charge forward instead of retreating, so he did not hold back. He swung his giant arm at Laughing Soul. Laughing Soul agilely rolled on the sand to avoid the attack. Then she stood up quickly, knelt on one knee, raised her arms, and aimed the gun at Desert Tiger's chest.
Shooting at such a large target at such a distance, Laughing Soul would not miss. She took the risk to get close to the target because … she could not afford to miss this shot.
The body of the gun glowed with a blinding light, and then …
This spear did not make the sound it was supposed to make. Instead, the sound that rang out in the air was actually the long cry of an eagle hunting its prey. The bullet that flew out from the barrel glowed silver and morphed into a glowing silver-winged eagle in midair. It swooped at Desert Tiger's body.
In the next second, Desert Tiger's chest seemed to have been hit by an RPG warhead, and an explosion occurred. This 6 meter tall, several tons heavy robot was actually blown off the ground by the force of the explosion, and fell backwards.
— — — Name: Goshawk Breaks the Sky
Skill Property: Active Skill, Disappears after one use
Skill Type: Marksmanship
Effect: Imbue the bullet with Sorcery Energy and fire, causing a large amount of explosive damage to the target. (You have to use a handgun to activate this skill, and there must be at least one bullet in the gun.)
Consumption: 500 Stamina Points, 50% of Maximum Sorcery Points
Learning Requirement: Marksmanship E, Sorcery F, Level 10 and above
Remark: A simple and practical skill. Only basic sorcery knowledge is needed to understand the theory behind this skill. The more Sorcery Energy consumed, the stronger the attack. Gunners with weaker physical abilities would be paralyzed for a short period of time after making a move. The weapon that fired Goshawk Breaks the Sky will overheat and become unusable for the next fifteen minutes.
This was the skill that Laughing Soul had used. She had drawn this skill card several scenarios ago and learned it, but she had not had the chance to use it.
It was obvious that this was a gamble. Facing the opponent before her, Laughing Soul believed that it was worth the gamble.
Her analysis of the situation was accurate, and her action was decisive and effective. Rather than saving this move and being forced to use it when he was in a desperate situation, it was better to use it as soon as possible to decide the outcome of the battle. Even if she failed to kill the monster in one shot, with her Life Points, there was still room for her to turn the battle around.
After firing that shot, Laughing Soul collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. She opened the game menu to confirm it and mumbled, "Tsk … I was indeed inflicted with the Paralysis status."
On the other hand, Desert Tiger did not stop for even a second. He was a robot, so he would not be like a human being who needed to catch his breath after falling to the ground. After he was shot, his chest was charred black, and the armor plate here was dented and cracked. However, the circuit in his brain used less than a second to calculate the damage and gave him a message — "I can still move." Therefore, he immediately climbed up from the ground.
Bang bang bang!
Xiao Tan saw how bad the situation was. He reloaded and fired as he ran forward, but he was still not fast enough.
Desert Tiger's iron fist the size of a refrigerator fell from the sky, and it was aimed at Laughing Soul from above. If the punch landed, there were only three words to describe what would happen next: human, meat paste, and white light.
Laughing Soul knelt on the ground and saw the shadow coming at her, but there was nothing she could do. Her body refused to listen to her command, and she could not even roll to the side. She could only grit her teeth and prepare for the coming pain simulation.
At that moment, a miracle happened.
Desert Tiger's movements suddenly became sluggish. It was as if a high-speed camera had captured a scene. Desert Tiger's fist approached at the speed of a tortoise. It felt like he wouldn't die even if he collided with it.
The audience gasped in shock.
Mr. Yoo was someone who knew his stuff. "Oh! Everyone, please take a look! It seems like someone has used the Sand of Time nearby! "
"No, it is just some time dust mixed with impurities. The real Sand of Time will have more than that."
The camera turned, and the audience was shocked to see that it was Hephaestus who said that. So, he could give some serious comments.
Xiao Tan held the Winchester in one hand, and his other hand was dripping with blood.
He had no choice. To use the Slowing Sand, he had to shatter the glass bottle. He was surrounded by soft sand, so he had no choice but to use his bare hands to shatter the glass bottle.
Desert Tiger's fist continued to approach, but the slowing effect helped Xiao Tan reach Laughing Soul's location. Without saying a word, he picked up his teammate and ran. He ran for a long distance.
"Idiot! Where are you going? Take this chance to hit him! " Laughing Soul saw Xiao Tan running further and further away like a pig carrying its wife. He had no intention of stopping, so she quickly shouted to remind him.
"Oh! Understood! " It dawned on Xiao Tan. He let go and tossed Laughing Soul to the ground. Then he turned and ran back to Desert Tiger.
Several seconds after he left, Laughing Soul regained her mobility. She climbed up from the ground with a dark expression. She wiped the sand off her face and took a deep breath. "This big idiot … I'll beat you until you scream for your mother in the Killing Game …" Even though she was angry, she knew her priorities. Now was not the time to argue.
Laughing Soul took out the sniper rifle from her inventory. In a few seconds, she was ready to attack and started to aim. Even though Desert Tiger was almost immobilized, she still chose to use the most powerful weapon she had on her.
Xiao Tan, on the other hand, returned to Desert Tiger's feet. His body nimbly climbed up the robot's arm that had not fully retracted and rushed up to the robot's shoulder.
Just as the sand was about to lose its effect, the barrel of the Winchester in Xiao Tan's hand was pressed against Desert Tiger's head from zero distance. Just as he pulled the trigger, Laughing Soul's sniper rifle fired as well.
