Chapter 39: Hidden Worries

Suddenly, violent . Tashi had set up a large-caliber old-fashioned heavy machine gun there and was desperately throwing metal barrages at the werewolves. The werewolf who had just rushed out of the cave was beaten up and down, with blood blooming on his body.However, werewolves have rough skin and thick flesh. At this distance, it is difficult for a heavy machine gun to break their bones and cause truly fatal injuries. At most, these werewolves will only suffer some flesh wounds. If you want to completely kill the werewolf, you still need an original energy gun or simply close combat.But Tashi just wants to stop the werewolf so that his companions can escape from the valley smoothly. In the blink of an eye, Tashi had emptied four boxes of bullets, and the barrel of the heavy machine gun turned red and could no longer be used. Yu Yingnan, Qianye and others had already left the valley and were running towards the scheduled assembly point.Tashi threw down the gunpowder heavy machine gun, his work completed, and then ran away along the previously reserved back road.More werewolves poured out of the cave, and angry wolves howled one after another. But then there were continuous explosions in the valley, and the traps set by Tashi were triggered one by one. The werewolves who rushed out were immediately knocked upside down by the explosions.Soon, the entire hunter team members gathered at the assembly area. The howling of the werewolf in the distance and the sound of flying through the air were approaching in an instant.Tashi immediately launched a small four-wheel off-road truck, added black crystal powder into the combustion chamber, and the numbers on the power meter quickly climbed crazily. The off-road truck began to roar and tremble, then bumped towards Darkblood City.Tashi drove the car, while Qianye and others got into the back car. Li Lunzhe took out a secondary force gun and aimed it at the back of the car. Yu Yingnan and Yang Tian were busy dealing with the wounds, while Qianye wasted no time in running the military attack technique, and it was only a little bit of force that could be restored.Li Lunzhe's face was expressionless, but his eyes were very gloomy. When he was in the wolf's lair just now, he almost took action. If it weren't for Qianye's sudden cry, the knife would have penetrated Yu Yingnan's lower back, and then hit Yang Tian, ​​who was also defenseless, and he would have been ready to escape alone.When the time comes, Yu Yingnan and Yang Tian, ​​who were accidentally seriously injured, are definitely no match for the wolves. After Li Lunzhe escapes from the wolf lair, it will be easy to kill the technical nerd Tashi.But when Qianye won the totem at an unexpected speed, Li Lunzhe couldn't help but hesitate, and then lost the opportunity.Several black figures appeared at the end of his field of vision, which were the werewolves chasing after him. The werewolves quickly closed the distance between them and the off-road truck. In their eyes, this truck with a speed of no more than 40 kilometers per hour was like a turtle crawling. Li Lunzhe calmed down and concentrated on aiming at the werewolf at the front. He waited until it was within a hundred meters before pulling the trigger!A ball of blue light flew out from the muzzle of the gun and hit the wolf's head, causing the werewolf to do some somersaults and then fall heavily to the ground. Seeing the blood and broken internal organs splashing everywhere, Li Lunzhe felt that the evil fire in his heart had calmed down a little.Two Force guns poked out from his left and right sides, both aimed at the chasing werewolves. Those were Qianye and Yang Tian. They had recovered a little of their force power and could barely fire another shot.Gunshots rang out, and two werewolves flew out, drawing a line of blood and throwing them heavily to the ground.Half of the six chasing werewolves were lost at once. The remaining werewolves immediately slowed down and did not dare to get close to the truck. They only ran outside the shooting range of the Force gun, waiting for the arrival of the large group of werewolves.The two sides chased and escaped, and soon approached the place where Qianye met the mysterious black-robed man.The werewolves suddenly became commotion. Many of them stopped, looked around alertly, and kept whimpering in fear. Among them, those stalking in wolf form had their neck hair standing on end.More and more werewolves slowed down their pace, and they began to whisper to each other. A few of the particularly huge ones sniffed the night wind vigorously, suddenly turned around, and ran at full speed with their tails tightly between their legs. The rest followed one after another, and in a short time they were all running away.The sudden withdrawal of the werewolves made Yu Yingnan and others look at each other, not understanding what was happening, so they could only be on full alert. There are not many dangers in the wasteland that can make a werewolf retreat.Qianye guessed that it might have something to do with the mysterious man in black robe, but he didn't think it was a good thing to publicize this matter.After that, the four of them had an uneventful journey and actually returned to Darkblood City safely. The task was quickly handed over. It was said that this totem was highly praised by the Imperial Research Institute's commissioner stationed in the Expeditionary Corps, so the originally agreed reward of one hundred gold coins was doubled to two hundred. Thirty percent of these bounties will be given to the hunter's house, and the rest will be divided among everyone.This good news cheered up the team members. Most hunters are very poor. Unlike regular mercenaries, they are not allocated basic equipment. Most of their income must be used to update equipment and weapons. If you don't have enough strength in the wasteland, you will die sooner or later.Because of his unexpectedly outstanding performance in the task, Qianye was awarded forty gold coins. This distribution ratio was significantly higher than the average level. But this time Li Lunzhe didn't say anything, his face just became gloomier. After dividing the reward, he left in a hurry.Yang Tian and Tashi also said goodbye one after another, leaving Yu Yingnan and Qianye at the Hunter's House."Want to have a drink?" Yu Yingnan said.Qianye shook his head and said: "No, I want to go back and take a rest.""Then I'll come back to you in two days."This time Qianye nodded and did not refuse.After Qianye returned to his residence, he first checked inside and outside. Except for a few blood stains on the top and corners of the courtyard wall, he found no other signs of intrusion. It seems that those sneaky guys finally became smart after suffering a lot and knew to avoid this dangerous building.Qianye closed the door, rushed into the kitchen like crazy, dug out all the edible things, and ate them vigorously. He ate all the food he had saved until his stomach felt uncomfortable, and then he stopped.The feeling of fullness diluted Qianye's desire for blood.That started in the second half of the journey out of the wolf's lair. Perhaps it was because his physical strength was exhausted and his force was almost exhausted. When the werewolf's blood spattered, Qianye once again felt the long-lost desire for blood. It was different from the hunger and thirst that burned his reason before. He was absolutely awake, but the flying blood droplets exuded energy-rich delicacies, tempting people to taste them.Qianye pressed his head and smiled bitterly. He vaguely guessed what was going on. For vampires, sucking blood is a shortcut to restore physical strength and heal injuries. After he acquired the vampire physique, he inherited even this basic racial talent. When he took military stimulants, he could easily suppress his hunger and thirst, and now he no longer felt the corrosive burning pain all over his body after hunger and thirst.Qianye didn't dwell on this issue for long. After he washed away his dust, he decided to go to the Hunter's House to see what equipment he could buy. Strong strength is the guarantee of survival, and now he is in a lot of troubles.The second master is still sitting behind the counter reading a book. When Qianye walked into the hall, he raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Qianye, and then moved his eyes back to the book page.The Hunter's House was quite busy today. The two tables in the hall were almost full, with seven or eight hunters sitting there. The originally small space immediately seemed a little crowded.The hunters were chatting about recent events and exchanging information gained from their adventures. However, Qianye heard some common points from their topics. For example, dark creatures have become particularly anxious and violent recently. Even some creatures with usually docile personalities have repeatedly attacked adventurers. Therefore, there have been constant attacks on adventurers in recent days. , rumors of casualties among hunters and mercenaries.Qianye felt keenly that these hunters were a little uneasy.Qianye walked to the counter and asked, "Second Master, when can I be promoted to a two-star hunter?"The second master said without raising his head: "When you accumulate enough bounty of one hundred gold coins, you can be promoted. Not yet.""Okay. Now I want to see what I can buy."The second master nodded, called out Xiaomi, and took Qianye to the warehouse to select equipment. It was still the same warehouse, but now every weapon and equipment looked completely different in Qianye's eyes.After the bloody battle in the werewolf cave, Qianye found that he was suddenly obsessed with this feeling.Originally at the same level, the human race was at a disadvantage in strength compared to most dark races. Werewolves are a race known for their strength, so when they face humans, their instinctive reaction is to rely on strength to win. However, when they met the more powerful Qianye, they were defeated extremely quickly.Qianye was already known for his strength among the Red Scorpions, although his body shape was not particularly outstanding. After receiving the vampire physique bonus, this advantage has been further improved and can already be compared with the fifth-level warrior. It is powerful and will undoubtedly take advantage in close combat.Originally, when Qianye was choosing weapons, his main focus was on the force gun and related accessories, but this time, various melee combat weapons particularly attracted his attention. Qianye picked up pieces of armor, kept trying them, and then put them back. Finally he took a vambrace and played with it over and over again.This metal arm armor is equipped on the forearm and has good protection. Its heavy weight allows it to turn into a terrifying blunt weapon when it is swung. In addition, it has a standard card slot on the surface, which can be equipped with weapons such as sabers and thorns. There is also a small Force array attached to the arm armor. If the Force is input, it can form a shield that can withstand mid-range attacks from first-level Force firearms.Qianye was very satisfied with this arm armor. Its only drawback was that it weighed ten kilograms. But for Qianye's current strength, this weight is completely negligible.This arm armor has two stars on it, and it is equipment that can only be redeemed by two-star hunters. If Qianye wants to redeem it in advance, he will need to pay an additional 20% of the price. In addition to the arm armor, Qianye also picked out several armor plates made of cave spider shells, preparing to install them on important parts of his armor. This is an effective and cheap way to upgrade your armor.These things cost more than thirty gold coins, and the most expensive part is naturally the Force-driven arm armor.After walking out of the warehouse, Qianye walked to the counter again and said, "I have some equipment, can you ask someone to modify it?"The second master finally reluctantly put down his book and walked to an independent studio nearby, motioning for Qianye to come in and close the door.Qianye took out the tactical accessories of Golden Rose, including a scope, an energy storage device that can amplify the power of the bombardment, and a silencer device."I want to modify these accessories so that they can be used on the 'Assaulter' rifle."The second master picked up these accessories, looked at them carefully, and said, "These are standard parts made by the vampires, and the workmanship is quite good. They were originally matching accessories for your Golden Rose, right?""You know about this?"
