Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 116 PK in the Wilderness
A small pickup truck weaved erratically along the beach, unleashing a barrage of fire from its rear compartment. The sonic beasts behind it couldn't reach it, and in less than twenty minutes, all six sonic beasts fell to the ground, turning into a wealth of experience points and BOSS power crystals.

"Stop the car and kill the Devourer!"

After the fat man slammed on the brakes, the three of us in the back fired in quick succession, taking down all the few remaining Devourers that had caught up.

"Cool!"

Cai Cai laughed, "Six superpower crystals... Awesome!"

"Let's open the box."

I laughed and said, "The harvest season has arrived!"

So everyone opened the box together, the clinking and jingling sounds filling the air, but the result was increasingly disheartening—

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the following item: 3000 Star Coins!

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the following item: Character Experience +15!

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the following item: Character Experience +15!

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Dimensional Expansion Crystal] (Expansion Space: 0.4 cubic meters)!

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the following items: [Explosive Grenade] x4!

……

Six boxes, one Star Coin, two Experience Points, two Expansion Crystals, and one Blast Grenade. Although they were all useful, it was a pity that none of the most valuable equipment dropped.

The drop rate of equipment in "Star Abyss" is so low that the prices of various equipment remain high. At present, the price of second-tier blue equipment is generally over 5. In addition, weapons are rare, and even the price of second-tier green weapons is not low. Unfortunately, my six treasure chests were a waste!

The two expansion crystals were used up, instantly increasing the dimensional storage space to 4.4 cubic meters!
All four explosive grenades were added to the ammunition reserve. Overall, the gains were decent, at least the experience points were heading straight to level 30, which is also my goal!
Once I reach level 30 and complete the breakthrough quest, I'll instantly receive three pieces of Tier 3 purple equipment, which will probably make my combat power explode. Besides, after reaching Tier 3, my main skills will be able to advance again, bringing unimaginable improvements.

"Get on the bus, let's continue!"

The pickup truck moved slowly forward as we began our search for our next target.

The beach was deserted, perhaps because it was too dangerous. Very few players came to this area to level up, and it seemed like there were only the five of us from beginning to end.

"Watch out, there seems to be something over there!"

Cai Cai pointed towards the shore, and saw that after the tide receded, figures emerged from the beach, each with a round, hard shell on its back and four legs crawling very fast.

"Is it a sea turtle?"

Kou Mei narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Have you ever had turtle soup?"

"..."

Who the hell has ever eaten this? Who's like her, all they know is eating!

"No, it doesn't seem to be a sea turtle."

Suddenly, I felt a chill. These sea turtles were crawling at an unusually fast speed, faster than a human jogging. Moreover, their shells were covered with blood-red veins, and even their heads were covered with all sorts of creepy creatures!
The next moment, I captured the attributes of the turtle at the very front and shared them directly in the team chat.

【Turtle Symbiote】(Elite)

Rating: 30
Attack: 180-350
Defense: 240
Qi and blood: 6000
Skills: [Impact Lv6], [Entangle Lv6], [Iron Armor Lv6]

Details: This is a type of sea turtle parasitized by a different species. These species possess powerful mutated abilities, but once the sea turtle's flesh and blood are completely consumed, the parasitic species will abandon it and seek a new host!
……

"Sigh~~~"

The mutated sea turtle's head suddenly split open, transforming into a mouthpart with four sharp teeth!
It looks a bit creepy, and it even makes you feel a chill in your lower body involuntarily!
"I'm sorry..."

Cai Cai shuddered and said, "Kou Mei, do you still want to drink turtle soup?"

"I never want to drink it again in my life." Kou Mei said, speechless.

"Let's get started."

I switched my primary weapon to the Hellfire Bomb Gun, then equipped it with armor-piercing rounds, and said, "Level 30 elite monsters, the more the merrier. We're here to level up anyway. These monsters have low attack, high defense, and high health, which is perfect for us to level up safely."

As I spoke, I looked at the fat man and said, "Don't be stingy with bullets, just aim and start shooting. You need to improve your shooting skills quickly."

"learn!"

So, we went all out on the sand table, taking down as many mutated sea turtles as they crawled up from the sea, and entered a very stable and safe leveling-up phase.

……

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

I glanced at my experience points; I could reach level 30 in two more hours of practice. Of course, it would be even better if I could encounter a boss or something.

"Hiss~~~"

Ten minutes later, a dense array of red dots appeared on the western side of the large map.

"Watch out, a shipment is arriving!"

I retreated, gun in hand, and said in a low voice, "If we leave the mutated turtle area and get backed by the Pikachu defenses, it's most likely an alien species!"

Sure enough, countless four-limbed creatures burst forth from the dense jungle; they were Tier 1 alien reptiles, all level 30 elite monsters. The leader of the reptiles let out a long hiss, and the alien horde surged forward like a tide.

"Suppressive fire!"

There's not much to say. With the firepower of our squad, suppressing the Tier 1 aliens shouldn't be a problem at all.

This alien attack lasted very short. After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the group of crawlers retreated, seemingly in fear of something, only daring to watch from afar.

"What the heck?" Cai Cai frowned, looking into the distance. "I have a bad feeling about this. Do you guys feel the same?"

"Have!"

The fat guy and I nodded at the same time.

The next moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the jungle and sped across the beach, stopping a few dozen meters away from us. It was a humanoid mutant with a slightly bloated body. His skin was translucent and gelatinous, and we could even see the green energy core inside his body. His limbs were covered with bone spurs, and his head suddenly opened, splitting into a terrifying three-lobed mouth!
The moment his mouthparts were revealed, his back trembled and buzzed, and patches of honeycomb-like proliferative tissue appeared.

This thing is definitely not an ordinary mutant!

"Fuck..."

Cai Cai took a deep breath.

"so……"

The fat man was stunned: "This thing... you big shots have never seen it before?"

“Never.”

Zhang Ruolin and I both shook our heads.

Just then, the other party walked towards us, and strands of text and data emerged from above its head. It was indeed a different kind of life form that we had never seen before.

The Fission (Purple Boss)

Rating: 30
Attack: 800-1050
Defense: 200
Qi and blood: 400000
Skills: [Devour Lv8], [Strangle Lv8], [Endless Split Lv8]

Details: The Splitter is a mutant among the Xenomorphs. They possess powerful life energy and store a large number of embryos on their backs. Once they suffer a fatal attack, they will activate the embryos and split into multiple smaller individuals. These smaller individuals can grow rapidly by consuming organic matter, so unless you can instantly destroy its main body and all the embryos, it will be very difficult to subdue it!
……

"Holy crap, a purple mutant..."

Cai Cai frowned and said, "It's a little difficult to handle."

"Ready to fight!"

I quickly aimed my bomb gun at the splitter and said in the team chat, "The splitter moves fast, and there are a lot of creepers around. We can't escape it. We have to take it down! Once we've taken it down, we'll head back. This place is too dangerous. I need to catch my breath."

"Everything needs to take its time..."

The fat man swallowed hard, his face pale.

"Ding Han, how do we fight?" Ruolin asked.

"Strike first, unleash full firepower!"

"to make!"

The next second, Zhang Ruolin, holding her shield, unleashed a burst of energy, stunning the splitter in place!

I didn't waste her control skills. I threw the Heavenly Creation skill directly onto the Splitter's head, followed by a headshot with a bomb gun. Armor-piercing rounds pierced the Splitter's mouth and hit its brains. Damage numbers immediately shot up, which were quite impressive!
"1524!"

"1509!"

"3048!"

"1473!"

"1515!"

The massive damage inflicted in an instant caused the Splitter to roar continuously, its powerful arms suddenly sweeping across and slamming into Zhang Ruolin's shield with a series of clangs, sending her staggering backward along the beach.

"Increase firepower!"

With a low shout, I took advantage of the gap while switching magazines to get close and instantly swung the Legion Blade. A sudden chill ran through my arm as my Yuan Power transformed into a wisp of starlight and cosmic frost that surged into the blade, and with a "whoosh," it struck the opponent's body!

"2142!"

“Zizi~~~”

After the massive damage numbers appeared, endless frost spread, instantly freezing the Splitter's enormous body in place!
He stepped back, and the explosive gun unleashed a new round of fire, aiming at the opponent's head and spraying bullets!
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

Cai Cai emptied two magazines in a row, and with the output from Kou Mei and Fatty, we reduced the Splitter's health bar by more than 30% in an instant!

Compared to the purple-clad bosses in power armor, the Splitter is undeniably a bit too fragile.

"Don't hesitate, unleash your full power!"

Just as the Splitter clamped its hands on the shield and opened its mouth to swallow Ruolin whole, I immediately unleashed a burst of energy and charged out, interrupting the BOSS's action. At the same time, I activated the Annihilation Armor, and this time I took the damage!

The bomb gun fired continuously, and the Annihilation Rock Armor greatly reduced the damage. Although the Splitter had powerful attributes, it was left with very low health when my health bar was reduced to 70%!

“Zizzizi~~~”

Suddenly, it retreated dozens of meters and stood still, its whole body radiating a blood-red light!
[Battle Notice: Please be aware that the Splitter is activating the skill Endless Splitter Lv8. The skill has a 5-second charge time!]

……

"Attack quickly! Don't let it split apart! Take it down in one fell swoop!"

With my loud command, everyone unleashed a furious barrage of firepower.

"boom!"

In the midst of the fierce battle, a muffled sound suddenly rang out. Immediately afterward, Kou Mei staggered back several steps, a bloody hole appearing on her forehead, and a large damage number soared into the air!

"1245!"

It's headshot damage!
[Team Notice: Please note that player [Lei Yan] dealt 1245 damage to team member [What are you eating? Give me a bite too!] using [Wind Whisperer]!]
