Chapter 126
Chapter 126 He Dares to Curse You, He Deserves to Die
Fortunately, the scale of the collapse this time wasn’t very large, and luck was on their side, as a small space formed around the two, preventing any debris from hitting Ling Mo.
Otherwise, Xia Xinyan probably wouldn’t want to do this again.
“Mo Mo, you okay?” Once the noise outside stopped, she asked in a low voice.
Ling Mo nodded, “I’m fine, nothing hit me.”
Real physics engine, JPG.
Xia Xinyan responded, “You figure out a way to get out, I’ll deal with that Mechanical Soldier.”
Saying this, her body instantly transformed into a phantom and she slipped out from the ruins.
Then Ling Mo, who had been pinned under her, unexpectedly ended up face-first in the dirt.
“…”
He was starting to dislike this ability.
Fortunately, this ability wasn’t Xinyan’s original power.
After Xia Xinyan flew out, she saw that the Mechanical Soldier was approaching, perhaps learning from its last mistake, planning to check if the two were dead or not.
The Mechanical Soldier showed no reaction to the drifting Xia Xinyan, as if it couldn’t see her at all. This confirmed for Xia Xinyan that the corresponding Hunter only reacted to its hunting targets.
However, she still stayed cautious, quickly floating to the Mechanical Soldier’s side, finally getting a good look at it.
This guy still had a human shape, but its surface was made of shiny, oiled metal, shining like a bright light bulb under the sun. As for the weapon it used to attack them, it looked like a quite strange gun, and judging by its caliber and the previous explosion… she suspected it shot grenades.
By the way, could she snatch this thing away as a trophy?
Thinking that, she suddenly floated in front of the robot and reached out to grab it.
However, as soon as she touched the weapon, the Mechanical Soldier suddenly swung, flinging her away. Before she could react, it raised the grenade launcher and aimed at her, firing a round!
Xia Xinyan was slightly startled.
Firstly, she was surprised at how strong this thing was, and secondly, she couldn’t believe it actually attacked her.
It seemed her previous assumption was wrong; even if she wasn’t the target of the Hunter, if she actively jumped into danger, she could still be attacked, huh?
With that thought flashing through her mind, she transformed into a phantom again, allowing the grenade to pass right through her and hit the wall behind her, causing another violent explosion and collapse.
Xia Xinyan raised her eyebrows.
Want to manipulate physics? You need to have the strength to back it up.
The Mechanical Soldier seemed confused as to why its attack went through the target. Its mechanical eyes displayed a moment of confusion. Before it could sort things out, Xia Xinyan switched back to a physical form, drew Cupid’s Bow, nocked an arrow, aimed, and shot in an instant.
Seemingly, with her current identity, this bow was the only offensive means she had.
As for her possession ability… one condition was [interactive items]; just like in regular games where decorative boxes can’t be broken, but equipment boxes can, the latter counts as interactive items. Hence, the operational space of this ability entirely depended on how generous the game wanted to be, and clearly, possessing a Hunter was out of the question.
But this bow had no such restrictions.
The arrows of Cupid’s Bow didn’t deal physical damage… to be precise, they didn’t deal any damage at all, but conversely, there were none of those messy concepts related to damage judgment, like whether it could penetrate or not… If this were a regular bow, her shot probably wouldn’t even scratch the paint off the Mechanical Soldier, but this light-based arrow successfully hit its mark and fused into the soldier’s body.
Xia Xinyan watched as a full admiration bar appeared above the Mechanical Soldier’s head.
She immediately commanded, “Drop the gun! Spin in place a hundred times!”
The Mechanical Soldier hesitated for a moment but still chose to comply with the command, dropping the gun and starting to spin in place.
However, its admiration level plummeted to 20%.
Xia Xinyan didn’t care how much it had left, she quickly floated over to pick up the grenade launcher and turned to run.
At that moment, Ling Mo had just crawled out from the ruins. Not yet aware of his surroundings, Xia Xinyan suddenly floated before him, presenting the grenade launcher as if it were treasure: “Mo Mo! I seized its weapon!”
Ling Mo’s mouth twitched: “…”
“Quick, take it! Blow it up!” Xia Xinyan shoved the grenade launcher into his arms and floated beside him.
Ling Mo was still stunned: “Why should I… you could kill it directly after grabbing it.”
“This is your Hunter! It’s better if you take action~!” Xia Xinyan smiled, her face full of gentle concern.
Ling Mo felt a warmth in his heart.
He knew that all this would turn into performance rewards when calculated, so Xinyan was essentially giving him points.
He remembered how Xinyan once said that he should stand in front of her to protect her, saying that was how a boyfriend should behave.
Hence, she was continuously finding ways to give him game points.
So… he definitely couldn’t let her down.
Letting out a light breath, Ling Mo took the grenade launcher: “And there’s your Hunter, that old man, I could turn him to dust with this grenade launcher too.”
This time, he would definitely protect her well.
Xia Xinyan’s smile grew even brighter: “Yeah, go for it.”
Ah… this guy finally got it, knowing he should grab the performance rewards himself.
Of course, the key point is… he still had to go carry out those tasks issued by Tianji.
Ling Mo didn’t know the little tricks she had hidden in her heart. After grabbing the grenade launcher, he checked its description.
【Tracker】
【Generates a high explosive grenade every 30 minutes, maximum storage of 3 grenades.】
This was indeed a weapon that could be taken out of the dungeon.
Moreover, the ammunition could regenerate infinitely; at this stage, this weapon could almost be considered a divine artifact.
After he took possession of this weapon, it transitioned to a “acquired” state, and the game granted the necessary stats—just like a grenade weapon capable of unlimited attacks in the hands of a BOSS turning to trash once defeated, this was a standard operation aimed at balancing the game.
However, the only good news was that the grenade launcher had now been reset to a state of full ammunition with 3 grenades.
Ling Mo immediately raised the grenade launcher and aimed at the spinning Mechanical Soldier, firing a grenade.
The grenade instantly hit and exploded, but after the smoke cleared, the Mechanical Soldier still stood firm, the explosion causing it to lose its admiration state. Though seriously damaged, it still tried to approach to complete its task.
Ling Mo frowned slightly and fired another grenade. This time, he finally blasted the thing into a pile of parts that couldn’t be pieced together.
Almost simultaneously, a rather disheveled old man suddenly crawled out from behind the collapsed rubble of the nearby teaching building. It was the Taoist who was hunting Xia Xinyan; he pointed at Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo, lamenting loudly, “Shameless evil spirits daring to harm people in broad daylight! You, man, not only do you not help the ghost find peace, but you also aid and abet, it’s simply…”
BOOM——!!
Ling Mo shot a grenade straight at him.
As the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of the old man.
Xia Xinyan: “… I should have left him alive earlier.”
After all, he couldn’t defeat Ling Mo, and there might have been some useful information to extract.
And besides, with only three grenades, it was sensible to save one for emergencies.
Ling Mo shook his head: “He dares to curse you, he deserves to die.”
As for information, they could find other Hunters for that.
Xia Xinyan: “…”
Was she really like this in the past?
