Chapter 1618 Defending Daimon -Part 7
The sound of the shot echoed throughout the entire chambers of the landing pod and it hurt every other Pandawan that was in it. However, the shot was worth it as it was suffice to say that the bullet was true to its purpose, effectively killing the Forest Troll who had decided to peep through the landing pod's door.
The charged up bullet was flushed through the barrel of the SKS semi automatic rifle and deposited itself into its brain. As the bullet spun at such high speed due to the power of chi providing enhanced speed and strength, it spiralled through the cranial tissues of the Forest Troll, causing massive injuries that disabled the innate regeneration ability of the Forest Troll. The sudden vacuum of the shot caused the cranial plates to fracture and forced the bone pieces to be sucked inwards before forcing the blood to be shot out.
There was no chance that the Forest Troll even with its immense capability to recreate or restore new tissues would be able to repair this damage that governs its regeneration powers. Surprisingly, this was in fact the first kill ever made by an outsider/Pandarens who had entered this particular Virtual Simulation and that means that it was also an achievement to behold.
Deng Long suddenly saw an upgrade card spinning right in front of him for achieving the first blood and it was something that boasted the ability to draw chi from his body. The Wombat Cultivator himself could feel the difference already compared to the previous minute when he was desperately trying to get even an ounce of power from his body.
Despite an immediate problem that had been solved, the next was trying to get out of the landing pod before other Forest Trolls attempted to break the landing pod by crushing it and killing all of the Pandawans within the landing pod. But to their surprise, the monsters were unknowingly helping them as well. The Forest Trolls cried as they slammed the landing pod hard now with large rocks and even used their dead comrades as accessories to the act.
This gave the Pandawans a chance to move out as soon as possible in an orderly fashion while they took their rifles up and started shooting at the nearby Forest Trolls while trying to garner chi within their weapon. Still, the Pandawans had no idea that they were lucky on their first try as they did not obtain any information on how to kill the Forest Trolls.
It was only now when they were distracting the Forest Trolls from closing into the entrance of the landing pods that they realised these trolls had superb regeneration powers. It was not until Luo Bo, the Rabbit Cultivator who had been shooting at their heads due to a natural reflex as an archer she also noticed the weapon systems on the landing pod were shooting their heads to kill these Forest Trolls as well.
That was when it clicked on her that all of her pals were doing it wrongly and hence she shouted the answer to them. "The heads! THE HEADS! Aim for their heads and they will decimate!" Luo Bo shouted and everyone who was around her also began shouting to relay the information, while forgetting that they had an internal console that could be used to relay messages.
Perhaps they had forgotten about such a feature as they could be too used to wearing half animal masks to fight in dungeon instances. Not to mention, they had no idea that all this shouting was to affirm everyone who was still in the fight against the Forest Trolls where they were surrounded.
"Seriously this Jin better reward us properly when that this is over." Shi Zuo grumbled as he reloaded his rifle upon throwing his expandable giant axe at a Forest Troll.? It didn't kill it but at the very least, the staggering enabled Shi Zuo to catch a breather before releasing two quick shots in succession to kill it.
"I rather have ammo now though! Boss Jin's reward can wait!" Bin Yong replied to his best pal as he realised that he too could use his buckler the way Shi Zuo had done. Thinking he was Captain US, he threw his shield as hard as he possibly could muster and the buckler was stuck able to strike a Forest's troll's neck allowing it to flinch a moment for Bin Yong to take the shot.
Unfortunately, as much as Bin Yong wished to do so, the Forest Troll at the side nearly caught him, making Bin Yong lose his focus. Nearly caught was the keyword as his companion Jia Le, the Bellflower Cultivator was able to throw some kunai to distract the Forest Troll before triggering a three shot burst as a panic reflex.
It was a waste of both kunai and bullets since little to no damage was done after the Forest Troll recovered from the wound. However, it was obvious that if Jia Le had not done that, there was no way Bin Yong could have escaped unscathed.
The rest of the cultivators were in the same predicament. Even though they knew the troll's weakness already, they were still dancing around their toes and hoping not to get killed.
"For a Virtual Simulation and being shafted into a high risk operation like this, I can't really say I like Jin's way of winning people's hearts and minds for the beta test." Xiong Da said as he took in a punch from the Forest Troll and had been knocked back several metres away while complaining of this all too real experience.
"And here we are still twirling around death's door hoping to get out of this unscathed. Not to mention you are smiling." Ruo Ying, Egret Cultivator and the partner of Xiong Da said as she subsequently defended the Xiong Da from incoming attacks using her chains to divert the punch of the Forest Troll away.
"But we are not getting anywhere! Boss Jin could have given us better rifles!" Yue Han complained until he heard something through their intercom.
"How about I give you an army as a reward for staying alive."
