Chapter 2: The High-Ranking Beast General Who Was Instantly Killed
Following the direction of Jia Hong's heavy machine gun fire, Qin Ming slightly moved the heavy sniper rifle in his hand, and a giant, armored crab with a diameter of about ten meters and covered in black shells crawled out of the river.
Like a phantom, the armored giant crab, moving at a speed of 100 meters per second, raised its giant pincers and rushed toward the war base.
Da da da.
The roar of several large-caliber heavy machine guns created a sea of fire, but the bullets, when hitting the armored crab's shell, failed to completely shatter it.
It continues its frantic assault.
Beast General-level monster!
Only Beast General-level monsters possess such speed and defense.
Furthermore, sea monsters are often larger, more defensive, and more difficult to kill than land monsters.
Even armor-piercing rounds from heavy machine guns cannot penetrate its armor; only by hitting a vital point can it be killed.
The continuous flow of soul energy emanating from the Myriad Soul Banner made Qin Ming's soul increasingly powerful, and his breathing gradually became steady.
Through the sniper scope, his finger rested on the trigger.
Bang.
The 25mm armor-piercing round pierced through the gaps in the armored crab's shell, entered its eye, and then exploded violently.
The massive body of the armored crab suddenly lost its balance while moving at high speed, collapsed to the ground, and lost its life.
call!
A phantom, transparent soul rose from the body of the armored giant crab, transforming into a stream of light that was swallowed by the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
During the charge, the armored giant crab had already come within a hundred meters of the fortress.
A beginner-level beast general's soul!
A surge of heat suddenly erupted from within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Qin Ming felt as if he had taken a super tonic pill, as not only did his soul become stronger, but his body also seemed to be enhanced.
"Holy crap! Awesome! Qin Ming, your marksmanship is amazing!"
Squad leader Jia Hong, who was constantly observing the battlefield, had a bright look in his eyes. He had struck gold!
I thought that these greenhorns, who were still in school and had come to the battlefield for practical experience, would be lucky if they weren't scared out of their wits on their first time on the battlefield, even though they were physically fit.
In a very short time, Qin Ming became familiar with the battlefield, and with one shot, he hit a vital point and killed the beast general-level monster.
It's important to know that monsters are incredibly fast and have amazing defenses.
Even the lowest-level beast-soldier monsters can reach speeds of 30 m/s, rendering them immune to small-caliber pistols.
The speed of a low-level Beast General-level monster can reach over 90m/s. Its skull is generally impenetrable by armor-piercing bullets; only by hitting a vital point can it be killed.
This is War Base No. 003.
They are attacked by sea monsters almost every day.
Years of war have made these sea monsters clever, teaching them how to protect their vital organs.
Several heavy machine guns failed to kill the armored giant crab, yet Qin Ming managed to take it down with a single shot.
That's definitely a sharpshooter.
What happened next further confirmed his suspicions.
"Qin Ming, kill that highly poisonous squid for me."
"Take down that mutated mantis shrimp."
"Squad leader, I'm out of bullets!"
"Zhang Lei, go get another gun specifically for loading Qin Ming's weapon. I'm so lucky, I've struck gold!"
"..."
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Qin Ming fired wildly with his sniper rifle, the spent shell casings piled up at his feet already submerging his ankles.
Continuous firing caused the barrel, which was mixed with Krohne alloy, to turn bright red.
The sniper rifle became an extension of his limbs; he could easily kill monsters one by one without aiming, relying solely on instinct.
At this moment, Qin Ming was like the Grim Reaper on the battlefield, frantically reaping the lives of the monsters.
The souls of all the monsters that died within a hundred meters were devoured by the Myriad Soul Banner, which strengthened its own soul and physique.
boom!
Suddenly, the river surface trembled, and the entire base shook slightly.
"A big guy is coming out."
Jia Hong roared.
Suddenly, a water peak 100 meters high rose from the river surface.
The giant python with a triangular head burst out of the water; its head alone, protruding from the surface, was comparable to a heavy transport plane.
Roar!
The giant python charged towards the base, followed closely by a swarm of monsters.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the war base, large-caliber artillery roared wildly.
Large numbers of monsters were instantly torn to pieces; even a Beast General-level monster was nothing more than a pile of minced meat in the face of large-caliber heavy artillery.
The armor that a heavy machine gun could not tear was as fragile as tofu in the face of heavy artillery.
Humans have been able to keep sea monsters at bay for decades, preventing them from invading the interior, thanks to these terrifying weapons of war.
However, this giant python seemed to be extremely familiar with weapons of war, and instead of confronting them head-on, it relied on its incredible speed to charge and dodge wildly.
Its body was covered in blood, flesh, and scales.
Even heavy artillery cannot kill it unless it is hit directly.
"It's a Bone-Eating Python, at least a high-level Bone-Eating Python of the Beast General level! Watch out for its venom! Fire! Fire!"
That's too fast! The speed is just too fast!
Although the Bone-Eating Python is extremely large, its speed is astonishing, almost reaching the speed of sound.
As it dodged and weaved, a glob of purple liquid shot out from its head.
Snapped!
A highly toxic liquid flew precisely into a fortress and then exploded violently, instantly extinguishing the fortress's firing positions.
Clearly, the soldiers inside are in grave danger.
Qin Ming gripped the sniper rifle tightly, wanting to fire, but he couldn't lock on at all.
Cold sweat ran down his forehead.
too fast.
Even though the Bone-Eating Python is enormous, measuring seventy or eighty meters in length, it is virtually impossible to hit its vital points, such as its eyes.
As for attacking other parts of the body, his sniper rifle simply couldn't penetrate their defenses.
Looking at the charging, bone-eating giant python, a sense of powerlessness filled my heart.
A mid-level beast general, he still has the strength to strike with his sniper rifle.
Can it face high-ranking beast generals?
Ordinary firearms are simply ineffective.
Only continuous bombardment by large-caliber heavy artillery and heavy missiles could possibly kill him.
brush!
A black figure suddenly flew out of the base, wielding a long spear, and leaped directly out of the base fortress.
The spear shot out like a dragon, a single point of cold light piercing the giant python's head.
The hard scales were as fragile as tofu before the spear thrust out by this figure.
Rumbling--
The giant python's skull shattered, but its powerful vitality prevented it from dying immediately. Its body thrashed wildly, seemingly trying to escape back into the river.
The giant tail swept across, tearing apart a large number of monsters, causing their flesh and blood to fly everywhere.
But in the end, the giant python still refused to fall, its massive body convulsing continuously.
"The God of War has made his move."
"It's General Liu."
"A mere high-level beast general dares to attack the base; he is truly overestimating himself."
The soldiers inside the fortress were immediately invigorated, laughing loudly as they wildly fired their guns at the fleeing monsters.
With the death of that high-ranking beast general, the beast tide that had lasted all night finally receded.
Qin Ming stared intently at the tall figure who had instantly killed the Bone-Eating Python and returned to the base.
Mars!
This is the power of a war god-level expert!
As a transmigrator, Qin Ming knew very well that even the lofty War God Warriors were actually only at the apprentice level.
Above that, there are planetary-level beings, eternal-level beings, and even immortal gods, surpassing even the God of War.
Even the sun, moon, and stars are nothing more than toys in the hands of immortal gods.
In this world where great power belongs to oneself, one must become a martial artist.
His gaze then fell upon the corpse of the dead high-level beast general, the Bone-Eating Giant Python.
Unfortunately, it was just a little short.
The giant, bone-eating python nearly escaped back into the river, thus falling outside the range of the Myriad Souls Banner's collection area.
Such a powerful monster must have an extraordinary soul.
If we could collect it, it would certainly be of great benefit.
It wasn't just this one giant, bone-eating python; the entire battlefield was littered with corpses blasted apart by machine guns and heavy artillery.
The Soul Banner can only be collected within a hundred meters, which is only a very small area on the battlefield.
How can I take a stroll in the battlefield?
Someone has to clean up the mess, right?
