Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 115 Six Soundwave Beasts

"What's next?"

Cai Cai took out her phone and checked the time: "It's already past 10 p.m. Should we continue leveling up tonight, or take a rest?"

"have a rest."

I glanced at everyone; they all looked exhausted. So I said, "Let's find a safe place to rest for the night, and continue leveling up at the coast tomorrow morning."

"Ok!"

Ruolin nodded: "Go back to Pikachu's place? So that Pikachu won't be stolen when we go back tomorrow morning."

"Row!"

It was nearly 10:30 when we left the insect hive and arrived at the pickup truck's parking spot. Cai Cai and Fatty found some dry branches and started a campfire not far from the pickup truck. Everyone took out the food they had brought.

Fatty and I took out a bucket of instant noodles, Ruolin took out a can of food, Koumei brought a vacuum-packed Osmanthus duck, and as for Caicai, he actually took out a steaming hot pot of sauerkraut fish from his storage space.

"Let's eat something together?"

Cai Cai took out several pairs of chopsticks, her face beaming.

Everyone tacitly put down the food they were holding.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they extinguished the campfire and prepared to rest.

Ruolin and Koumei, two girls, sat in the driver's seat of the pickup truck, while the three of us men sat in the back, holding our guns.

"You two should take a nap."

I grabbed the Wind Whisperer, jumped off the car, and said, "I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and Cai Cai will take over for the second half."

"Row!"

Cai Cai nodded in agreement.

……

In Star Abyss, the night in the wilderness is extremely dangerous. Not only do you face threats from insectoids and alien species, but you may also be robbed by wanderers. Therefore, it is not safe for everyone to rest here. Someone must stay awake and on guard.

After scanning the area with infrared night vision goggles for a while and confirming that it was safe nearby, I took a deep breath, leaped onto a tree ten meters away from the pickup truck, and, holding the Wind Whisperer, continued to remain on guard.

"drop!"

Just then, her phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Lin Qingying: "Not coming back tonight?"

"Ah."

I replied, "I'll be staying out tonight. Would you like to see the starry sky?"

"it is good."

So I switched my phone to night mode, took a picture of the starry sky in the wilderness, and sent it to her.

"So beautiful, so clear."

Lin Qingying said, "You need to be careful."

"Ah."

After that, the two of them didn't know what else to talk about, so they stopped talking.

……

In the middle of the night, I was so sleepy that I went to Pikachu and shook Cai Cai awake: "It's your turn to be on duty. I'm going to take a nap."

"Row!"

Cai Cai immediately jumped out of the car with her submachine gun, saying, "Damn it, there are mosquitoes... and Fatty's snoring is like a tractor, I'm really impressed, he can sleep so soundly in this environment."

I couldn't help but chuckle: "If we train for another day tomorrow, everyone's ammo reserves will probably be depleted. Let's return to Huaining City before dark tomorrow, and then we can finally get some rest."

"Ok!"

Cai Cai grinned: "Boss, you take a nap first. I'll take over from here. You're the main force, so you need to conserve your strength and energy."

"Row!"

So, I took out the bomb gun, hugged this sense of security to my chest, and lay down with Fatty in the back of the pickup truck, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

There were indeed mosquitoes at night, and I was bitten awake several times. Fortunately, I was too sleepy to pay much attention to it, and overall, my sleep quality was passable.

……

The next day, in the early morning.

A light rain began to fall, and everyone woke up around six o'clock.

"Why is it raining?"

The fat man couldn't help but complain, constantly brushing the rain off his body.

"Stop talking nonsense."

I glanced at him and said, "Let's grab something to eat, then head out to the Cloudy Coast!"

"Ok!"

Everyone took out some sausages, biscuits and other things, had a simple breakfast, and then Fatty drove, Kou Mei sat in the passenger seat, and the remaining three heavily armed players sat in the back with their guns.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked Zhang Ruolin.

She smiled and said, "I slept for four or five hours. I'm not used to it, but it's better than not sleeping at all. You and Cai Cai had a hard night last night."

"It should."

I looked at Cai Cai and said, "Hang in there, we'll head back before dark today."

"Ok!"

Cai Cai nodded emphatically.

At this point, I glanced at my experience points. I had accumulated quite a few by clearing the insect hive, so I casually leveled up to level 29 and put all three free points into strength.

The pickup truck drove slowly, and about half an hour later, a coastline came into view.

"wrong……"

I frowned, opened the large map and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there were inconspicuous red dots rushing towards us from the coastal jungle.

"Knock knock~~~" I immediately patted the driver's window and shouted in the team chat, "Fatty, stop the car, we're being watched!"

"Wh...what are you targeting?" the fat man stammered.

"It looks like a variant!"

Cai Cai jumped out of the car and aimed forward while maintaining a shooting posture.

I jumped down as well, hugged the bomb gun to my chest, and switched to a magazine full of bombs. The bombs also deal AOE damage and are quite lethal to low-level aliens to some extent!

"Swish..."

The trees in the jungle swayed, and countless gray-brown figures kept rushing out!

A Tier 1 mutant, the Devourer!
"With the pickup trucks behind them, fire all at once!"

At my command, everyone leaned back against the pickup truck and turned their guns toward the aliens. The next moment, the bomb guns opened fire with a "rat-a-tat-tat" sound, and bullets burst among the dense swarm of devourers, dealing exceptionally high damage!
A level 30 elite Devourer with 3500 HP can be taken down with a volley of 7-8 shots from a bomb gun!
For a time, under the suppression of everyone's firepower, the Devourers screamed incessantly and could not get close at all. Before dying, they desperately opened their three-lobed mouthparts and flailed their tongues wildly, which looked particularly terrifying.

"Depend on……"

The fat man trembled all over, witnessing such a scene for the first time, and his face turned slightly pale.

"Keep suppressing fire!"

I suddenly turned to the side, switching magazines with my left hand while raising the Legion Blade with my right. I unleashed a Dragon Blade + Blood Drain Frenzy combo on a Devourer that was lunging at me with its mouth wide open, instantly slicing its head into pieces. The scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere was extremely spectacular!

"Watch your back!"

Cai Cai suddenly turned around and saw a Devourer rushing onto the Pikachu, opening its three-lobed mouthparts and lunging at Kou Mei, as if it was about to devour her in one bite!
"what!"

Kou Mei was shooting when she looked up and her pretty face turned deathly pale!
At that critical moment, I suddenly threw out the Legion Blade!

"puff!"

"1092!"

As expected of advanced throwing technique level 10, it's both fast and powerful!
Taking advantage of the moment the Devourer raised its head, I thrust the muzzle of my bomb gun into its mouth and fired four shots in quick succession, each a headshot and a weak point attack, blasting it to pieces!
"Don't panic, maintain suppressive fire!"

I turned around abruptly and unleashed another barrage of attacks on the dense horde of devourers in front of me.

In just two minutes, piles of Devourer corpses accumulated in front of the Pikachu, and their numbers finally began to decrease, leaving only a few scattered Devourers, shaking their heads and slowly walking around us.

“Zizi~~~”

Suddenly, one of the Devourers raised its head and roared at the sky. The sound, which resembled infrasound, was very oppressive.

"Not good."

Cai Cai said, "This thing is calling for backup, should we retreat?"

"If we're not leaving, what are we doing here?"

I smiled faintly: "Check the ammunition, reload the magazines, and prepare for the next battle."

"it is good!"

Everyone's expressions relaxed.

"Ding Han".

The fat man finally turned to look at me, his face pale, and said, "Did you guys always risk your lives to level up like this?"

"if not?"

I smiled faintly: "Fatty, Star Abyss is a game for the brave. You need to accept and adapt to it as soon as possible, and then become an indispensable force in our team."

"Um……"

The fat man's gaze gradually hardened: "I will do my best!"

Actually, the fat guy was already quite brave. If it were an ordinary player, seeing so many Devourers opening their three-lobed mouthparts for the first time would probably have scared them so much they wet their pants.

……

About ten minutes later, birds began to scatter in the distant jungle, and then figures rushed out of the woods, standing at a distance and letting out low growls at us.

"What the heck??" The fat man squinted.

"Sonic Beast".

I calmly said, "Be careful, there are six sonic beasts in total, plus dozens of devourers. This is a bit tricky!"

"Depend on……"

Cai Cai gritted her teeth and said, "It's not going to be easy... If Soundwave Beast is going to fight a positional war, it can just unleash a sonic boom from the spot. No matter how many of us there are, we're no match for it."

"What should we do, boss?" Kou Mei looked a little flustered.

"Let's change our tactics."

I frowned. "Fatty, get ready to drive. Koumei, go to the passenger seat. The three of you in the back are ready to move and shoot! Fatty, remember, all you have to do is drive the Noivern in circles. Don't stop. Noivern's sonic boom attack has a few seconds to charge up. That's enough time for you to drive out of the sonic boom's range. Leave the rest to the three of us in the back."

I grinned: "Six sonic beasts, all level 30 blue BOSSes. If we eat them all, we'll get six blue BOSS-level ability crystal treasure chests. Good luck, everyone!"

"okay!"

Cai Cai and Ruo Lin both smiled happily.

"Get in the car and let's go!"

As the Sonic Beasts began their charge in the distance, I rushed to the back of the truck, carrying the Roarer, and shouted, "Ruolin, hold the shield and shoot with one hand! Cai Cai and I will shoot with all our might!"

"okay!"

In the back of the pickup truck, Zhang Ruolin suddenly raised her shield and fired a burst of fire with one hand while Cai Cai and I flanked her, taking advantage of the shields to aim at the charging Sonic Beasts and firing a burst of fire!
"Ho~~~"

Finally, one of the Sonic Beasts roared, and suddenly wisps of wind rose around its body. Then it began to gather its strength, preparing to unleash a level 7 sonic boom!
"Fatty, give me some oil!" Cai Cai shouted.

The pickup truck's engine roared desperately, and the vehicle accelerated slightly.

"Peng——"

In the distance, a sonic boom exploded, the limit of the attack range being just about ten meters away from us!

"very good!"

I laughed and quickly switched magazines, aiming directly at the head of the Sonic Beast. Amidst the "bang bang bang" of gunfire, headshots or headshots plus critical damage kept popping up!
