Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 180 Orange, Winter's Edge AMR Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle!
"Damn it, it's that spine-spike butcher again?!"

The fat man's face turned pale instantly; the name of the Orange BOSS was indeed too famous.

"Boss, what should we do?" Cai Cai turned to look at me.

"It's okay."

I quickly pulled the pin and said, "If the first Spine Butcher was a nightmare, then the second Spine Butcher is just easy prey. All-out attack, keep the firepower on the Spine Butcher! The Gale Fortress base is so big and has enough troops, killing one Spine Butcher is definitely not a problem. We just need to follow along and grab as much benefit as possible!"

With that, he aimed directly at the Spinner Butcher's head and fired!
"Bang bang bang~~~"

Although the Wind Whisperer I have is purple, the Spine Killer's armor is too high. Even the firepower of a purple sniper rifle is a bit too much for it. Each headshot only deals 500+ damage, which is negligible compared to the Spine Killer's 300 million health bar!
Nearby, Cai Cai, Ruo Lin, and the others also took out sniper rifles and aimed and fired at the Spine Butcher from a great distance.

"Ho~~~"

The Spine Butcher roared, its head rapidly splitting into terrifying mandibles, while the rotating bone saws inside its chest hummed and roared, like a powerful giant machine trampling countless crawlers and devourers as it charged straight toward the base.

……

In an instant, a continuous stream of synthesized sound alarms blared over the base:

"High-level alien species detected!"

"Heavy machine gun locked on!"

"Drone attacks have been launched!"

"Everyone, please lock down!"

On both sides of the base, four large-caliber machine guns were aimed straight at the target. The next second, they spat out tongues of fire and fired large-caliber shells one after another. They exploded around the Spiked Butcher with a series of "bangs". However, the Spiked Butcher's outer layer of keratin was quite thick. In a short time, these powerful machine guns were unable to penetrate the opponent's armor!
In the air, dozens of drones rushed out, hovering overhead, constantly dropping bombs and firing, sparks flying off the dark keratin layer on the spine butcher's body!
The attack did have an effect, but it wasn't very noticeable!

"100 meters away!"

I immediately switched to the Howler, aimed at the Spine Butcher's head and shot it in the head, emptying the magazine in three seconds. Then I reloaded and fired again.

"50 meters away!"

Cai Cai skillfully switched between the bomb guns.

I also took out my own bomb gun, directly targeting the Spine Butcher's right hamstring joint and marking the spot. I said in a deep voice, "Use the bomb gun's armor-piercing rounds, quick!"

"it is good!"

The next second, Cai Cai, Fatty, and I opened fire together. The firepower of the three bomb guns was unusually concentrated, and they hit the Spine Butcher's knee joint with a "crackling" sound. Instantly, a tough bar below the knee joint was reduced rapidly!
"Ho~~~"

The Spinner Butcher roared and arrived at a section of the outer wall nearby. Its six spinal tentacles pierced into the steel wall with a "thump, thump, thump," and then, surprisingly, they supported its huge body and quickly climbed up the wall!

As expected of a fourth-tier mutant, its strength is far superior to that of a third-tier mutant!
"Quickly, shoot it down!"

In the distance, the commander shouted orders, and from the crowd, a group of elite soldiers wearing second-generation power armor rushed over, raised their explosive guns, and fired wildly!
Two seconds later, the massive, bloated body of the Spinner Butcher suddenly came into view, charging all the way up the wall. Six spinal tentacles shot out from behind him with a "whoosh" sound, instantly piercing through the bodies of several second-generation armored warriors. The barbs on the tentacles then spun, actually cutting several warriors in half at the waist from the middle of the second-generation armor!
"Ho~~~"

The spine-spiked butcher swung his blade-like arms, instantly sweeping through the crowd. More than a dozen ordinary soldiers wielding guns were cut in half at the waist, their limbs and remains scattered all over the ground.

Blood and flesh were flying everywhere; the scene was extremely gruesome!

"Depend on!"

I gritted my teeth, quickly switched magazines, and decisively pulled the trigger, emptying the full magazine of bullets onto the Spine Butcher's right knee joint. Immediately, with a "crack" sound, like the sound of a porcelain vase breaking, the joint's keratinous armor was finally breached!

"Thermal bomb!"

Instantly switching to a molten ammunition magazine, a burst of bullets rained down, and the Spine Butcher let out a wail as his right leg burst into flames.

"Ho~~~"

The Spiked Butcher roared, its scarlet eyes fixed on our group, filled with hatred. The next moment, it flipped over, using its six spinal tentacles as legs, and slithered sideways like a crab. Its head split open, and its mandibles danced wildly, creating a truly horrifying scene!
"Fuck you!"

Seeing the Spinner Butcher rampaging towards me, I didn't hesitate. I immediately switched to the Wind Riding Sword, and my body became a blur as I pierced through the opponent's body with a "whoosh." I turned around and unleashed a combination of Battle Shout, Heavenly Craftsmanship, and Unstoppable Force. Instantly, half of my Yuan Power bar was depleted. These two advanced skills really consumed too much Yuan Power!

The next second, all the attacks were concentrated on the Spine Butcher's left knee joint. The attack started with a basic slash + combo slash + basic slash, increasing the damage of the Unstoppable Force to 70%. Then, a chilling blow froze him to extend the control time. Then, another set of basic slash + Dragon Blade + basic slash + Ground Spike Slash + basic slash + Blood Drain Frenzy + basic slash dealt excessive damage!
After using up all my skills, most of my energy was immediately depleted!

This kind of super strong melee combo is not something that ordinary players can handle. Fortunately, my Yuanli Furnace is of a high enough grade. It is running smoothly and recovers about 1 Yuanli value per second, which can barely support two waves of melee damage!
"Hooho..."

The spine butcher knelt on one leg, dragging his body along with the other, while his six spinal tentacles whistled through the air!

"Pong!"

Amidst the deafening roar of the air, I used a step-slash to move 5 yards to the side, missing all of its damage. At the same time, I switched to the bomb gun and fired all 40 armor-piercing bullets in the magazine into its left leg joint!

"Clap!"

After taking too much damage, the armor on his right leg joint was also shattered!
"Heat bomb!" I shouted again, and together with Cai Cai and Fatty, we focused our fire on the exposed joints of the opponent with heat bombs. The lubricating fluid inside immediately burst into flames, directly paralyzing the Spinner Butcher's ability to move!

Even worse, the two joints were burning fiercely, causing it to continuously lose health, losing almost 2 health points per second. This level of damage was unbearable for it.

"Great!"

In the distance, the major commanding officer shouted excitedly, "Suppressive fire! Turn this vile beast into a sieve!"

"Back off!"

I retreated with my bomb gun, saying in the team chat, "Just shoot him from a distance, no need to take any more risks. Let's just wait for the Spiked Butcher to burn to death!"

"Ok!"

Ruolin and Koumei both smiled and nodded.

So, what we had to do next was simple: Cai Cai, Fatty, and I used the hot melt bombs to keep attacking the opponent's two exposed joints, preventing the flames of the lubricant from going out, and maintaining our suppression of the Spinner Butcher.

In less than a minute, the Spiked Butcher's health bar was depleted. After a wail, his body was blasted apart by various bullets and machine guns, and then burst into flames.

A series of tinkling sounds rang in my ears—

[Battle Notification: Your squad has defeated the "Spine Butcher" (Orange Boss), gaining 1840000 character experience points. The Elemental Furnace extracted 920000 experience points!]

[Congratulations! Your team has defeated the "Spine Butcher" (orange boss) and obtained the item: 1 "Boss Ability Crystal"!]

……

We took down an orange-tier boss almost without taking any damage. This time it felt really good!
"I rely on..."

Cai Cai took a deep breath: "Awesome!"

I glanced down at the alien army outside the base and said, "Let's all open the orange treasure chests and see if anyone gets lucky and gets an orange piece of equipment."

"Ok!"

The next second, I took out the orange treasure chest from the other-dimensional storage space and opened it immediately!

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Winter AMR Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle] (Quality: Orange)!

……

An orange sniper rifle?!
I was overjoyed, my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat!
My luck is so good, I actually got an orange-tier firearm, it means I'm destined to take off!
He hurriedly opened his interdimensional storage space, and sure enough, a brand-new semi-automatic sniper rifle lay inside. His gaze lingered on it briefly, and its attributes floated out—

【Winter AMR Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle】(Quality: Orange)
Rank: Tier 3

Basic parameters: Firepower 1000-1200, Rate of fire 80 rounds/minute, Magazine capacity 8 rounds, Attack range 3000 meters

Strength: +40
Agility: +38
Weight: 12.5KG

Specialty: Muffler, equipped with a muffler
Blessing: Headshot enhancement; when a headshot effect is triggered, there is a 50% chance to trigger double damage.

Strength required: 500
Required Agility: 300
……

The new sniper rifle's attributes are simply too strong, to an outrageous degree!

The Wind Whisperer's firepower cap is 800, while this Winter's Firepower cap is increased to 1200. In addition, since the Winter's Firepower is a semi-automatic rifle, its theoretical rate of fire is higher, reaching 80 rounds per minute. The magazine is also increased to 8 rounds, which means that as long as I lock onto an opponent, with my shooting level, the opponent basically has no hope of survival.

No doubt about it, get the gear!
With a "click," the Wind Whisperer was replaced with the Winter's Breath gear.

"and many more……"

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, but it didn't escape Cai Cai's eyes: "Boss, I just saw an orange light flashing on you, did you get an orange item?"

"As expected, it couldn't escape your pay-to-win eyes."

I was speechless. I took out the Frostbite Potion and held it across my chest. Instantly, it flashed with orange light. When the Pokédex was shared in the team chat, CaiCai uttered from deep in her throat, "Holy crap..."

He looked at me, this time smarter: "Boss, what about your purple Wind Whisperer? Sell it to me at a discount. I'll speak first this time, Fatty, don't argue."

"Go, go, go!"

Fatty's shooting skill level wasn't as high as Cai Cai's, so he didn't bother arguing.

I took out the purple Wind Whisperer and negotiated the price slightly. Cai Cai bought it for 10 Star Coins. Purple weapons are currently in high demand. This Wind Whisperer would sell for 25 Star Coins on the player black market and there would be plenty of people vying for it!

……

"call……"

Holding the orange Winter, I looked at the tide of aliens outside the base, full of ambition, and suddenly felt a bit like I was pointing out the world. I no longer looked down on this group of low-level aliens!
