Chapter 99 Ambush, Prisoners and Human Nature Contradiction [Seeking Subscription II]
The two scouts stood 20 to 30 meters away from Ophelia.
The two sides looked at each other.
"Where is the other guy?"
Faced with her questioning, Marcelo, wearing a black cloth hat, showed a slightly obscene smile.
"He is wandering where you can't see him."
"So, dear lady, why do you want to destroy the tacit understanding between us?"
"The dimly glowing currency in your hand and the bulging purse are all sending us signals."
He said and pulled out the long dagger from his waist.
Marisol, the "non-mainstream" female scout standing next to this guy, also licked her lips.
"Marcelo, stop talking nonsense!"
"Her purse looks more generous than the commissioned reward."
"Did you see it just now?"
"That purse is full of dark gold coins!"
Compared to Marcelo's obscenity, Marisol's eyes were full of greed.
She took out the short thorns worn on both sides of her waist.
With so much money, who would care about the commission?
Wouldn't it be easier to just rob the half-elf lady in front of them?
As for their companions, they entered stealth mode, quietly looking for opportunities to attack.
Facing the two who did not hide their intentions, Ophelia looked indifferent and put away the purse with her backhand.
Then, she began to slowly walk back.
Marisol and Marcelo looked at each other, and the two sides slightly opened a few meters away and surrounded the front.
At the same time, the half-ling stealth slowly circled behind Ophelia from the side.
The two sides advanced and retreated, and the pace became faster and faster.
Soon, the two guys entered the intersection of multiple red circle marks.
Chen Xuan, who was hiding on the commanding heights, naturally saw this scene through the scope of the sniper rifle.
He immediately pressed multiple radio detonators one after another!
The M57 pulse igniter in the mine spewed out electric sparks.
Then, several explosions of fire and smoke rose into the sky.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The not-so-violent explosions sounded one after another.
Unlike traditional TNT explosives.
C4 is easy to carry, has high stability, good plasticity, strong explosion power, and excellent waterproofness, which is enough to perform detonation tasks in most environments.
Chen Xuan had already turned on his super-sensory vision and stared at the explosion site through the telescope.
With a 0.7x slowdown and a zoomed view, he could even see the trajectory of the steel balls flying from both sides.
Multiple M18A1 Broadsword mines fired thousands of lethal steel balls towards the fan-shaped range.
They were hidden in the fire and smoke of the explosion, and they were very fast, splashing towards the designated range like a rainstorm.
Marcelo and Marisol, who were in the mine ambush area, were startled.
A magic shield appeared on each of them, like an umbrella trembling in a storm.
Unfortunately, the steel balls were too dense, and the light-like shield appeared in an instant and dissipated in the same short time.
The subsequent lethal steel balls hit the two people, rapidly consuming their protective magic!
Countless steel balls flew in all directions, and one of the walls that was hit became pitted as if it was swept by a rake, and the charred wood in the ruins was also broken by the sweep of the steel balls.
Within a few seconds, the ambush site became a mess!
The magic of the black cloth hat scout Marcelo was exhausted while running away, and one of the splashing steel balls brushed his shoulder, leaving a bloody mark like a gap.
The "non-mainstream" female scout Marisol was in a slightly better condition than Marcelo, with about one-fifth of the magic left in her body.
In just one encounter, the two bronze-level senior scouts lost their combat effectiveness.
Originally thought this was a hunting feast, but they didn't expect that they were the prey being calculated!
Ophelia had already dodged behind the wall of the ruins after the first mine exploded.
The sneaky halfling stalker was shocked when he first saw the explosion and almost ran away.
However, when he saw Ophelia hiding behind the wall with her back to him, he could not withstand the test of the purse after all, and tried to take the opportunity to kill her, first snatch the purse, and then use stealth to escape.
His figure was extremely faint, and there was only a certain fluctuation when he moved quickly.
When the explosions stopped one after another, this guy no longer hesitated and encouraged the magic element to run away.
The surging magic element made his figure more obvious.
When he was three or four meters away from Ophelia, a 7.62mm bullet with an initial velocity of 860 meters per second and a muzzle kinetic energy of 3567 joules hit his head!
The protective magic light shield appeared and disappeared instantly, and the kinetic energy of the bullet weakened, hitting the halfling's head fiercely, instantly consuming one-third of the magic element in this guy's body.
You have to know that the total amount of magic energy of a halfling in the same level is not much.
Although the magic energy helped him resist the damage, the impact of the bullet still made this guy fly out.
At this time, Ophelia had already drawn her longbow. After receiving the warning, she turned around suddenly and shot several arrows in succession. The first few arrows were all depleting the magic energy defense of the halfling.
The latter few arrows accurately penetrated the guy's calves and arms.
After the magic energy was exhausted, his stealth effect was automatically lifted and he was lying on the ground spitting blood.
Rebecca appeared from another direction holding a dagger and directly controlled the halfling.
The two Dora sisters were not idle either. They took action as soon as the explosion started.
Like catching a rat, he blocked the temporary hiding place of the other two scouts.
Waving a single sword in his hand, he first cut off the black hat scout's arms.
Blood spurted all over the floor, and the severed bone stubble turned pink.
Marisol, who still had the strength to resist, activated her magic skill and threw a thorn, then turned around and ran away.
Without even looking at Marcelo, who was wailing and spitting blood.
The short thorn in the hand, attached to the pure white magic element, flew towards Yuclan's chest like a poisonous snake.
This short thorn has another mystery.
The impatient Beria took the first step and struck out the sword light.
After the two collided, the short thorn split in two from the front and flew away again. The magic energy attached to the surface exploded, giving the short thorn a second acceleration force. After the trajectory changed, it headed faster. Shoot at her.
Yuclan's pupils shrank, and she concentrated on sweeping away the first short thorn with the knife.
Another short thorn hit her heart from a more tricky position!
"clang!"
There was no penetrating sound as expected, nor was the magic element or magic shield triggered.
After the short thorn penetrated the thin first layer of Kevlar fiber, it pierced the GA8 bulletproof chest plate inside.
The waterproof fabric on the surface of the bulletproof plate is broken, then the polyurea coating is applied, and finally the thickened composite steel plate body.
This bulletproof chest plate is made of steel. Although it is not as lightweight as the ceramic bulletproof plate, its defensive power is even better. It can reach a level that cannot be penetrated by M2 armor-piercing bullets. It is often used on targets in shooting ranges.
Its technical process is very simple, and to sum up, it is stupid, big and black.
The spikes shot by the magic throw finally left only a peanut-sized depression on it, with a depth of no more than 1.5 mm.
The short thorns hung dejectedly on the Kevlar fiber, looking "downcast".
"Haha!"
Yucca shouted and pulled out the short thorn.
A crazy smile actually appeared on the faces of the two sisters.
He ran wildly towards Marisol, who had just escaped not far away.
Without any effort from the two sisters, Marisol was sniped as she was escaping.
The SSG69 sniper rifle fired again, and the bullets shot at her predictably across a distance of several hundred meters.
Marisol's adrenaline was secreting heavily at this moment.
The sensitivity of body perception has also been enhanced to an extremely high level.
Even when the warhead escaped from the gun and shot towards her, a warning sign arose in her heart.
After the magic essence was tempered, the body subconsciously made dodge movements.
It's a pity that she is not as skilled in magic and martial arts as Chen Xuan, and lacks spiritual assistance.
This ultimately made her dodge seem a bit clumsy.
"Bang!"
The bullet arrives first and the sound comes later.
When Chen Xuan's shoulder against the butt of the gun trembled due to the recoil.
The bullet had hit Marisol.
Just because of her dodge, the bullet originally aimed at the vital part hit her right arm.
The few remaining magic elements could no longer effectively protect the body, and were completely destroyed in an instant.
The 7.62mm warhead carried the remaining kinetic energy and hit her just above the elbow.
The skin tempered by copper-level magic is comparable to raw cowhide, but this defensive ability is meaningless in front of the warhead.
The bullet penetrated the skin, tore open the brachioradialis muscle and biceps tendon, shattered the bones of the humerus-radial joint, and then got stuck directly in the arm.
Blood spurted out instantly, like a blooming flower.
After the magic element was exhausted, Marisol's speed slowed down sharply, but she did not dare to stop. She dragged her injured arm away while wailing in pain. Under such circumstances, she was quickly caught up by the two Dora sisters. .
Neither Yucca nor Beria is the Virgin, and they treat their enemies mercilessly.
After catching up with this guy, the two sisters raised their knives. One of them leaned over and chopped off his legs, while the other chopped off his arms at shoulder level.
Marisol lost her ability to resist in the blink of an eye.
After the limb arteries are injured, the blood spurts out like a gurgling stream.
But soon, the amount of blood loss was slowly reduced due to the self-healing effect of his strong body.
From the gaps in the severed limbs, it can be seen that after practicing magic, the density of muscles and bones will increase.
Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the gun bolt, and stood up.
He has already summed up the techniques for dealing with Naroya magic cultivators.
First of all, magic element is a consumable.
It can be used to activate magic skills, externally attached to increase attack lethality, and mobilized to limbs to enhance strength and reaction capabilities. When used, consumption will be incurred.
Whenever the magic element is exhausted, the additional strengthening effect will disappear, but the tempered body will still exist.
In addition, when a magic element practitioner is directly attacked, the magic element in the body will automatically protect the body.
They will generate corresponding consumption depending on the density and strength of the attack.
Under normal circumstances, when the magic energy in the body is exhausted, it only needs to enter the cultivation state and maintain it for a certain period of time to recover.
The same principle applies to magic shields. When they resist kinetic energy damage to a certain extent, they will be overloaded and collapse.
Those magic jewelry can basically only withstand one round of attacks at full capacity before breaking into pieces.
If the attack strength is weak, it can be reused by charging the magic core.
But after every hit, there will be damage.
For example, the [Azure Guardian] necklace worn by Chen Xuan had a small crack after blocking two bullets for him in the KK Park.
If you want to kill a magic element practitioner quickly, the best way is to use high-density medium and low-power attacks to quickly wear down the opponent's magic shield and body magic element.
Or achieve this goal through violent explosions and other forms of attacks.
The whole process is called "breaking the defense" by Chen Xuan.
As long as the defense is successfully broken, the remaining problems will be easy to solve.
To summarize based on the enemies he has fought so far.
The body magic element of a bronze adventurer can probably withstand 25 to 80 rounds of small and medium-caliber ammunition for continuous shooting.
This does not include those ethnic groups that Chen Xuan has not yet contacted.
It's still the same old question, the cultivation performance of ethnic groups is really different.
There is at least a 3 to 4 times innate gap between bronze halflings and bronze orcs.
As for those ethnic groups that are taller and stronger than orcs, there is no need to say.
However, correspondingly, the stronger the ethnic group, the slower the cultivation speed.
After the body becomes larger, although it can accommodate more magic, it will take more time to complete the physical tempering and magic accumulation.
In addition, the fertility of those powerful ethnic groups is very touching, and they are the kind that cannot hold back a baby for decades.
Even if they give birth, there is still a growth period of 40 to 50 years.
Of course, the life span of this kind of ethnic group is also very long.
In short, Naroa is a balanced world with a complete system and coexistence of multiple ethnic groups.
There must be gains and losses, and there must be shortcomings.
It is precisely because of the innate gap that most halflings would rather farm than be mercenaries and adventurers.
As for those individual cases, there is no need to discuss them. There are many weirdos in each ethnic group.
Chen Xuan walked quickly towards the half-dead captives, thinking about the use of guns against extraordinary powers.
In fact, his thoughts are very contradictory.
When he used guns to attack those magic practitioners, he hoped that the protective power attached to the magic was as weak as possible.
It would be best if he could penetrate the protective magic of the bronze-level enemy with one shot.
But when Chen Xuan put himself in the picture and planned to become famous and invincible on Blue Star with extraordinary power, he also hoped that the magic element could withstand higher damage.
Humans are such contradictory creatures.
Sometimes they are even contradictory to the point of abandoning rationality and objective facts, just to grasp that small handful of unreal pleasure.
Shaking his head, he trotted to a ruin.
Most of the block here was burned ruins.
The broken walls formed a black maze, and the loudest sound was no longer clear after half a block.
Especially those broadsword mines, the momentum was not as loud as imagined.
And the decibel of sound will decrease exponentially as the diffusion range increases.
In fact, the explosion of small-caliber artillery shells and grenades is not much louder than double-kick firecrackers.
But for the sake of safety, Chen Xuan also had to hurry up to interrogate.
Everyone hid in the ruins of a relatively intact house.
The three seriously injured scouts were gathered together, waiting for his interrogation.
The charred ground was flowing with sticky blood.
Chen Xuan lifted the collar of the halfling. There were arrows on his limbs, and the magic in his body was empty. He had long been unable to resist.
Judging from his appearance alone, this guy should be the most spineless.
"Who sent you to follow?"
"Tell the truth."
"There is no need to take the blame for someone who has nothing to do with you."
"After all, it was that guy who caused your current miserable situation."
Chen Xuan's tone was calm, and his eyes under the tactical goggles could not be seen clearly, making him look even more unfathomable.
...
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be another chapter in the evening.
Please leave a message if you find bugs, thank you.
