Fatal Shot

Chapter 118: The Prediction Made by Roaring Dragon Lightwind

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Feng Luo was riding an SCV1-type energy motorcycle called the Land Bullet, and the wide, black tires were carrying smoke all the way across the gravel as he headed toward the coordinates that had been notified by the system.

The energy motorcycle, which was worth 18,000 credits, was one of the fastest vehicles in War, with a speed of over 300 kilometers per hour. If he could have utilized his specialized studies, he could have unlocked the advanced “vehicle driving proficiency” skills, which would allow him to exceed the 300 kilometer-per-hour limit. Therefore, it was also known as “The Flash” among the vehicles.

A golden beetle slightly larger than his fist lay quietly on his shoulder, as beautiful as a gold sculpture.

Eastern Silvermoon City, Razor Swamp, Bat Cave. Coordinates: 3273, 0384.

A middle-aged Fire Manipulator with a chubby face was blocking the entrance to the bat cave. Reddish fire energy was continuously gushing from the wand in his hand, which was half the height of a man, pouring into the sea of fire blocking the entire entrance of the bat cave.

“Sea of Fire,” as a Level 45 advanced skill of the Fire Manipulator, could burn and spread continuously as long as the Manipulator’s energy output was consistent and his MP was sufficient. Compared to the level 40 skill “Fireball,” it was more useful in some specific situations—such as the current situation.

There was only one type of Level-30 monster called the Blind Bat in this cave. It could barely drop anything except for energy crystals. However, the experience value it awarded was very high. Although this bat could move as fast as lightning, its HP was extremely low. As long as they blocked the entrance of the lair with an AOE skill and then bombarded it with minor skills, they could just sit and wait for the bats to “put up the fire” to harvest experience.

This had originally been a training hall for players over Level 30. More than a month ago, there had been several PK scuffles between players every day to seize the bats’ lair.

It was because the mainstream players had reached Level 40 or above, and there were plenty of players who trained in the swamp. Therefore, the place had become deserted.

Of course, even if the place was deserted, with such a good training place to level-up, in general, there would definitely be some players training there because, after all, there were always new players who wanted to level up.

Such a one-man supremacy situation could occur only because...

A brutal middle-aged Manipulator player with the ID “Fire Ring” was holding up a Level 45 Excellent-grade staff. He was casting a basin-sized fireball in the burning Sea of Fire. He then waved in the direction of the cave, blasting the fireball into the depths of the bats’ lair.

Boom!

A bunch of bats started thumping and squeaking, coming out from the cave while a series of experience values were granted across the field.

The middle-aged Manipulator player had a disdainful grin on his face as he scanned through the traces left by several dead players on the ground in the cave. Previously, he had sent a seven-player squad with each of them over Level 30 back to resurrect so that he could occupy the upgraded treasure trove all by himself.

As a Level 45, full-fledged Fire Manipulator, in the case of occupying the place in the first hand, it would be too easy to take out these normal players with no more than one or two pieces of Fine-grade equipment.

Although his rank was higher, the experience value was greatly deducted if he were to kill these bats that were lower than Level 30. However, there were enough monsters in the bat cave that could not be stopped, and their HP was low and had no fire resistance. Therefore, the speed of training when killing those dangerous monsters which were over Level 40 would be quick.

“Well, I’m wanted? Damn it! Is he tired of living life?”

As the Fire Manipulator player saw a sudden reminder in his field of vision, his action was slightly interrupted. He then scorned it with a sneer on his face. A newly cast Fireball from the red staff was thrown, accurately blasting a Level-32 Elite Blind Bat with slightly higher HP that was trying to attack him. It was blasted back by the Fireball to several meters away and eventually fell into the Sea of Fire where it was burned to ashes.

Ring!

In the communicator, a female artificial intelligence voice said, “We have a stranger requesting a call.”

The Fire Manipulator player’s face showed a disdainful smile. “Stranger? The wanted player is trying to buy me over with money? Did he ever think that I would kill him after I take the money!” He then switched in the communicator. “Say what you want to say!”

“Hello, Mr. Fire. I want to cooperate with you!”

The voice inside the communicator was rather dull, and there was no anger in the tone or words as if there was no fire.

“Cooperation? You want me to sell this Level 1 experience to you? How about 10 million dollars? Ha!”

The Fire Manipulator player’s voice was loud, but even during the communication period, his wand did not stop casting the Fireball, demonstrating his excellent skill control.

“I think you misunderstand,” replied the voice. “I am not the hunter player who was trying to take a bounty on you!”

The voice on the opposite end of the communicator remained steady and light.

“If you’re not, why do you want to get into contact with me?”

The Fire Manipulator player was a little interested at the moment, and he wanted to hear what this guy was talking about.

“I know that a hunter player has received your warrant, and that player happens to have a problem with me,” said the player on the other side of the communicator. “So I want to cooperate with you to kill him once. It’s not bad for either of us, is it?”

“Cooperation? Why should I believe that you are not with that hunter? You say you want to cooperate, but in fact, you may be trying to cheat on me!” The Fire Manipulator player sneered and threw the fireball from his magic wand into the bat cave, creating another sweeping flame.

“My name is Roaring Dragon Lightwind. This name alone should be a guarantee. If you don’t believe me, then we can add each other as friends to check the ID of the communicator directly.”

“Roaring Dragon Lightwind? The Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group!” The Fire Manipulator player appeared a pause, and he smiled grimly. “I do not want to have any relationship with your Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, so I do not want to cooperate. A hunter player wants to kill me? What a joke!”

“I feel like you should really think about it, Mr. Fire,” said Roaring Dragon Lightwind. “By the way, the player’s wanted quest completion rate was as high as 95.6 percent. Within a month and a half, he was promoted to a D-rank hunter. I think you should understand the significance of this data in hunting missions.”

Roaring Dragon Lightwind’s tone remained unchanged, but a number was faintly displayed.

“95.6 percent...” The Fire Manipulator player’s pupils shrank, and his eyes showed a sense of dignity. Obviously, this incredible completion rate of the hunting task had given him fear.

“Actually, if Mr. Fire wants to stand alone against him, we have no objection. If you were to work with us, in case you fail, I think we can at least avenge for you. Besides, you can also acquire the friendship with the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group.” He added softly, “Mr. Fire, I sincerely think you could take this request into consideration!”

After cutting on communications, inside the long-term luxury box of the Silver Moon City Exchange, Roaring Dragon Lightwind turned to a Heavy Armor Warrior player who was standing nearby and said, “Tell them to get moving. This time, I do not want to hear of another failure.”

“Yes!” the Heavy Armor Warrior player said with a nod.

Roaring Dragon Lightwind’s eyes closed. He lay back on the luxury leather sofa, looking tired. “By the way, what about the group of players who went to the Umbrella Corporation base?”

“They’ve been on an airship and are expected to be there by midnight.” After the Heavy Armor Warrior player reported, he hesitated a little, and finally, he could not help but ask, “It’s just that, Boss Lightwind, do we need to report this mission to Boss Invincible?”

“Wuhen. You’ve been with me for so long. Why don’t you understand anything by now?” Roaring Dragon Lightwind opened his eyes and gave him a stony stare.

“Yes, sir!”

The Heavy Armor Warrior player couldn’t help but feel a little shocked, and he immediately lowered his head.
