Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 126 Zhao Yihang's Inquiry (Bonus Chapter 7)

"Shua~~~"

The moment I stepped into the dungeon portal, I found myself on a ground covered with stone slabs, cracks, and weeds. Looking up, I saw a colossal structure standing before me – the honeycomb building that I was to conquer in this dungeon!

From the outside, the honeycomb structure appears to have been abandoned for many years. The staircases are covered with dense vegetation, and the key structural points of the floors are covered in rust. However, the power supply system inside the staircases seems to still be working, with beams of light shining out from them, which are quite conspicuous on the vast wilderness plain.

"This map is quite big..." Koumi remarked.

"Ah."

I nodded: "No rush, let's proceed slowly and steadily. We don't need to rush, we just need to ensure safety."

Cai Cai said, "I wholeheartedly agree. I'm not just a little afraid of dying!"

The fat man said sullenly, "It's not like anyone isn't afraid of death."

"Let's go."

I took out the Roarer and walked towards the building first. When I was about five meters away from the door, the sensor door opened automatically, and then an alarm sounded in front of me.

"Attention! Intruders have entered the base! Intruders have entered the base!"

At night, the synthesized female voice was a bit eerie.

"Be careful!"

I lowered my body slightly and assumed a shooting stance, while Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, and the others also aimed in different directions.

"coming!"

On the minimap, streaks of blood-red dots appeared in the corridors from the front, left, and right. Each dot represented an enemy unit. At the same time, a buzzing sound came from the side, and one by one, swarms of poisonous bees the size of a face plate rushed in from all directions in the corridor!
These venomous wasps are unlike ordinary wasps; their bodies are too bulky, and they have lumps of growth on their backs, making them look extremely ferocious!
[Poisonous Bee] (Elite)

Rating: 35
Attack: 220-550
Defense: 90
Qi and blood: 5000
Skills: [Poison Sting Attack Lv6], [Pounce Lv6], [Life Enhancement Lv6]

Details: These venomous wasps originated from the hive's breeding grounds. Having undergone genetic mutation, they became extremely ferocious and violent, ultimately becoming tools of the rebels.

……

"Level 35 Elite Poison Bee, high attack but low defense, be careful, try to aim for the head and shoot headshots!"

At my command, I immediately locked onto the head of a poisonous wasp and opened fire in rapid succession. Instantly, accompanied by the Roarer's barrage of firepower, headshot damage numbers jumped up and down!

"603!"

"594!"

"1224!"

"612!"

"609!"

……

The burst fire efficiency is extremely high, and the max level shooting mastery is indeed very strong. Even if the opponent's head is only the size of a fist, it seems to be multiplied in my crosshair, making it easy to aim. Furthermore, with the max level shooting mastery, the recoil control ability is greatly improved, and almost a 7-9 volleys can kill a poisonous bee!
In the blink of an eye, five poisonous wasps fell to the ground beneath my gun. I quickly switched magazines and fired again!

Meanwhile, everyone was firing at full force!

However, the situation is not optimistic. The first wave of warnings attracted far too many poisonous bees, and Fatty and Mouth Girl's firepower was struggling to suppress them.

"Be careful, don't panic, it's okay if you lose a little health!"

I immediately provided reinforcements, and after a frenzied barrage of attacks, we finally wiped out the entire swarm of poisonous bees.

"Boss..."

Cai Cai frowned, looking at me with disbelief: "What's your shooting level? It's terrifying. I just glanced at it, and your headshot rate is almost 100%. That poisonous bee's head isn't even that big, but you can get headshots every time. That accuracy is really frightening."

Ruolin asked, "Does this mean that if Ding Han is aiming at your balls, will he shoot them out every time?"

"Damn it, I'm just an example..."

Cai Cai probably felt a chill run down her spine after hearing what she said, and sat on the ground to load an empty magazine.

"Refill all the magazines."

I glanced at Cai Cai and said casually, "My shooting level isn't high, it's only shooting proficiency level 10."

"Holy crap, how did you do that?" Cai Cai exclaimed in disbelief. "Please teach me, brother!"

"Being unable to teach is a passive skill of mine."

"alright."

Cai Cai nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He understood the rules of the game. Every player who had survived to this day had one or two secret skills up their sleeve!
While everyone else loaded their weapons, I stood guard with my submachine gun.

The appearance of the self-loading mini-robot saved me the trouble of reloading. However, since we are a team, we still need to wait for everyone to be ready before we can attract the next wave of monsters.

Soon after, the group finished loading their weapons and began to probe forward again.

It has to be said that the Stinger Hive dungeon map is indeed very large, and it is impossible to speedrun it in a short time. However, this is also good, because what everyone needs is experience points. I am the same. Although my character experience has reached the limit and I cannot continue to level up before the end of the 1.0 version Dark Tide Origin, my Elemental Furnace is only level 27, so there is still a lot of room for leveling up.

The battle in Xicheng made me realize the power of high-level, high-grade elemental furnaces. In the life-or-death battle, my SS-grade elemental furnace could continuously reduce a lot of damage, and even saved me from death, which should have been killed by Vega's power gauntlets. It gave me a near-death effect.

Without this Yuanli Furnace, I would almost certainly have died in the final battle of the Xicheng Campaign!
...Three hours later, the first floor of the honeycomb building was emptied.

After walking up a staircase to the second floor, suddenly a series of small red dots shone on me!

"What the hell!?"

It came so suddenly that it caught many people off guard!

Just as the enemy opened fire, I activated the Annihilation Armor. Immediately, I heard the sound of bullets hitting the Annihilation Armor. The damage wasn't too high; the two-second firing time only took away 3000+ health points. For me, whose health was already over 2.2, it was no different from a tickle!
"careful!"

Cai Cai was stunned. She quickly rolled over and got behind another wall, then peeked out and fired a round of shots!
"My God... there was an ambush..."

Ruolin held her shield horizontally in front of her to protect herself and Koumei.

Ahead, a group of rebels dressed in tactical uniforms and carrying assault rifles roared, "Kill them all! These lackeys of the Republic deserve to die!"

I gently raised my hand, drew the purple Wind Riding Sword, and said in the team chat, "You guys keep shooting, I'll go into melee and disrupt their defensive formation!"

With that, while the Annihilation Rock Armor's defensive effect was still active, he immediately launched a burst charge!

"Pong!"

A 40-yard charge instantly created a gap in the enemy's defenses, followed by a ground slash that caused a flurry of damage numbers to rise amidst the dense ranks of rebels!
"3865!"

"4050!"

"3770!"

"4200!"

"3815!"

After equipping the Wind-Riding Sword, my melee attack power has been completely transformed. The max-level Ground Spike Slash deals 250% damage, so my normal attacks can deal about 1500-1700 damage to these rebels, which is quite high. In addition, with 10% critical hit chance and 13% life steal, I can definitely engage in melee combat!
"Shoot him down!"

The group of rebels turned around.

As the bullets rained down, my Yuan energy surged, and I suddenly leaped and slashed into the crowd. With a "crack," my sword cleaved a rebel's riot shield in two. Then, the sword light raged, cutting through the crowd and turning them into mangled pieces!
Every sword swing was perfectly timed, and the sword damage, amplified by the skill, was terrifying. Even I was shocked by the power of Sword Mastery lv10!

Soon after, a group of rebels fell into pools of blood, while my health bar had reached 97%. The health I lost to the enemy's gunfire had been absorbed back without me even realizing it!
"Fuck..."

Cai Cai gasped deeply: "Boss, it seems your sword-type superweapon is already capable of real close-quarters combat..."

"Yes, if the monster's firepower isn't too strong, that's certainly possible, but if the monster is too powerful, it's safer to rely on shooting as the primary attack method."

"That is."

Ruolin glanced at the sword in my hand: "The Purple Sword?"

"Yes."

I nodded: "I got it from a quest in Xicheng."

"Your melee damage just now was terrifying..."

Ruolin asked, "Tell me honestly, how many purple-grade items are you wearing now?"

I glanced at it: "Including the firearms, there are a total of 7 pieces of purple equipment."

"..."

Both Cai Cai and Fatty had expressions that said they didn't want to live anymore.

"Comparing people with each other makes people angry!"

Cai Cai said indignantly, "Hurry up and level up, I want to become stronger too!"

……

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

The battle inside the Stinger Hive continued. With a large number of rebels and stingers being eliminated, the experience points gained from this trip kept soaring, giving everyone a feeling of great success. Especially Fatty, who had the lowest level, but with the increase in shooting skill, the rewards for killing monsters above his level were also generous. He quickly reached level 25 and felt that reaching level 30 and advancing to the third tier of his profession was within reach!

However, this map is indeed large, and it will take a lot of time to solve.

Around 8 p.m., we finally arrived at the 11th floor of the Stinger hive. The corridor was filled with buzzing sounds, and countless stinger bees swayed and moved about. In addition, a considerable number of stinger bees had "pheromone sacs" hanging from their abdomens. The setting of infighting within the bee colony had finally appeared!

"on!"

I held the Roarer in my arms and said in a deep voice, "You guys take care of the spray, I'll shoot down the pheromone sacs and try to take them down with minimal losses!"

"it is good!"

The next moment, everyone opened fire, while I aimed at the pheromone sacs, shooting them off one by one with two shots. Yellow pheromones spread from the sacs, and the hive immediately descended into chaos as countless bees actually began to kill each other!

That's great news! It saves us a lot of bullets!
……

"drop!"

During the fierce battle in the Hive, a message suddenly came from Zhao Yihang, whom he hadn't seen in a long time: "Ding Han, did you really break up with the boss? I saw that she just posted a message on her WeChat Moments, calling a dog named Ding Han."
