Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 243 Thunder God Island

"Yuening is a very deep place."

The fat man sat on the edge of the overpass, grinning, and said, "The internal struggles are beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us. Yuening Group has two subsidiaries, Yuening Energy and Yuening Power. These two subsidiaries are the foundation of Yuening. This time, the trouble at Yuening Energy may be the work of competitors, or it may be the work of our own people. In short, we outsiders definitely can't see through it."

"Yeah, let's have a drink later and chat while we drink."

"Okay, it's up to you!"

I ate out with Fatty until after 8 p.m. I can't hold my liquor, so I didn't dare to drink too much.

"correct."

The fat man lowered his voice and said, "The local players in Tengshan City want to organize an event to see if any players from other places are coming back to Tengshan, and they want to organize a social gathering or something. I heard they even invited a lot of young ladies."

"Is this some kind of social gathering or a party?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Hahahaha~~~"

The fat man said, "I'm just asking, do you want to go?"

"Don't go."

"Fine, if you're not going, I'm not going either. I'm already bored with pretty girls!"

I nodded without saying anything.

In the game "Star Abyss," players can generally thrive as long as they aren't too lazy. After all, players can make money very quickly; a single hunting trip can earn them hundreds of thousands of coins, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Therefore, many players adhere to the philosophy of "great power belongs to oneself" and live a very carefree life, with yachts and young models being commonplace for them.

But I think it's best not to get too cocky when you're doing well, because once you do, you're not far from crashing down, and there are bloody lessons to be learned from that.

……

I returned home around nine o'clock at night.

Old Ding sat in the living room and asked, "Ding Han, where is Miss Lin?"

"She had something to do at the company and left first," I said.

"Oh……"

Old Ding didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject: "Ding Ying let slip at lunch at home that Xiao Lin is actually the CEO of Yuening Energy, the company she works for. Is that true?"

I shuddered. You, Ding Ying, really can't keep a secret!
However, Ding Ying is just a young girl who has just entered society, while Lao Ding is an associate professor who has weathered decades of storms. Naturally, he is far more insightful in observing people and situations than she is. It would not be surprising if Ding Ying were to reveal the truth as soon as she showed the slightest flaw.

"Ah."

I nodded: "Yuening Energy has run into trouble, so Xiaoying flew to LN City in the Northwest early this morning to deal with the incident. She left in such a hurry that she didn't tell you."

"Your second uncle and aunt were both shocked when they heard the news."

Old Ding said, "Son, we're just an ordinary family with such a big class difference. Have you thought about how you're going to get along with Miss Lin?"

"Dad, do my second uncle and aunt think I'm not good enough for Xiaoying?"

“I don’t think my son is unworthy of anyone.”

Old Ding's answer was irrelevant.

At that point, I was feeling the effects of the alcohol, so I didn't talk much and went straight back to my room to rest.

……

Late at night, in the team chat channel.

Happy New Year everyone!

Ruolin offered her blessings again, and then smiled knowingly, "Did someone have a good time taking Ying'er home for the New Year?"

It seems she only knew that Lin Qingying accompanied me to Tengshan, but didn't notice the matter of Yuening Energy.

"good."

I asked, "Everyone seems so energetic, are we planning some kind of event after the New Year?"

"Of course, of course!"

Cai Cai said, "We have to start this event! I haven't even reached level five yet!"

Faye Chaochen said, "Why don't we wait until after the New Year to have a get-together and have a meal instead of rushing to the wilderness to gain experience?"

"can."

I nodded: "What do you say when I arrive in Huaining on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"

The fat man said, "Then I'll hitch a ride with Ding Han. I'll be arriving on the third day of the Lunar New Year too."

"How about a get-together and dinner on the third night of the Lunar New Year?" Ruolin asked. "Is that alright?"

In an instant, Kou Mei, Bingzi, and the others nodded in agreement, without any objection.

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, we were in the third year of junior high school.

Early in the morning, I got up and went into the guest room. Sure enough, Lin Qingying had left in a hurry and hadn't had time to pack up a lot of cosmetics and clothes, so I put them all into the other-dimensional storage space. Then, Fatty knocked on the door early in the morning.

"Xiao Wei's here..." Old Ding said with a smile, "Let's have breakfast together in a bit."

"Okay, Uncle, I'm just here for breakfast." He sat down casually.

I gave the fat man a disdainful look, and he gave me an even more perverted smile.

Afterwards, we ate the dumplings that Dad cooked. Lao Ding came downstairs to see us off and put some cured meat and salted fish in the trunk.

"Tsk tsk!"

The fat man exclaimed excitedly, "Holy crap, a Bentley Flying Spur... my dream car! I'll drive the first half of the way, I absolutely have to drive it!"

"Okay, you can drive the whole way without any problem!"

"I'll try my best!"

He sat happily in the driver's seat. I said goodbye to Lao Ding: "Dad, we're leaving. You should go upstairs quickly, it's cold downstairs."

Drive slowly on the road!

Old Ding looked down at us through the car window: "If you're tired, pull into a service area and rest. Don't drive for long periods; it's easy to get distracted."

"Yeah, I know."

I nodded, and the fat man slowly drove the car out of the residential area.

In the rearview mirror, Lao Ding's figure appeared very thin, and his body was becoming increasingly hunched. He was about to transform from the strong and healthy father I knew into a withered little old man.

It can speed along without any problem.

Around 10 a.m., Lin Qingying sent a message: "The matter at Yuening Energy has been handed over to someone else. My flight is at noon and I will land in Huaining City around 3 p.m. You don't need to pick me up. The company has arranged a car. I have to go to the company for a meeting before I can go home. Have you gone home yet?"

"Enter Huaining City immediately."

I replied, "Are you going home for dinner tonight?"

"Yeah, I'm a little tired."

"But I have dinner with Ruolin, Caicai, and Fatty tonight. I've already made plans. How about this, I'll cook some dishes for you, and I'll leave after you get home."

"it is good."

Lin Qingying sent a nodding emoji: "I want to eat garlic cloves with salted fish..."

"learn."

……

Return to the residential area.

Fatty and I originally planned to have lunch at a husband-and-wife restaurant, but it turned out they were closed for the Chinese New Year. Almost all the shops outside were also closed for the holiday, so we had no choice but to eat at KFC.

In the afternoon, I drove to the supermarket to buy groceries.

I started preparing ingredients at three o'clock, multitasking while cooking. I was also thinking about the game. I'm currently level 46, which is far from enough. I need to reach level 50 as soon as possible and then upgrade the Yuanli Furnace to level 50 as well. That way, my character's basic stats will be maximized.

Furthermore, we have already seen the cyan BOSS on the last battlefield, which means that orange equipment is not the top-tier equipment in version 2.0 "Demon Realm Rift". In the long run ahead, my goal will be to collect a full set of S6 cyan equipment before version 3.0 "Rise of the Zerg" is released. In this way, I can gain a combat advantage in the Rise of the Zerg version, keep snowballing, and always keep my strength among the top in the Chinese server!

"drop!"

A message came from Milo: "Ding Han, Xiao Bei finally removed me from the blacklist. I just chatted with her. Is it convenient to have a voice call now?"

I started a voice call and asked after the call connected, "Why did she block you too?"

"With her spoiled princess temper, who can handle her?"

Milo said helplessly, "You have to figure things out for yourself. Xiao Bei had high expectations for you before, so your posts with Lin Qingying on social media upset her, and it's understandable that she did this."

"What did she say?"

"She said she's still very angry with you, so you should just stay on the blacklist and she'll unblock you when she's in a better mood."

Milo said, "Anyway, as your brother, I've done everything I can. Now it all depends on this lady's mood. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. That's just how Xiao Bei is. He does everything according to his mood. Maybe one day he'll come to his senses and fly directly to Huaining City to see you."

"Ah."

I nodded: "Luo'er, how's your leveling going lately?"

"It's the third time."

Milo laughed and said, "I don't have any family here, so the New Year means nothing to me. My left hand has been helping me through a lot of dungeons, and I'm rapidly approaching level 40!"

"Good job, keep up the good work!"

"Hey, it's a must!"

After ending the call with Milo, she continued cooking.

……

It was 5:30 in the evening.

"Crack!"

Lin Qingying pushed open the living room door and walked in. Compared to a few days ago, she looked much more tired, and her dark circles were even deeper.

"You're back just in time; the food is ready."

I sat down opposite you and said, "Sit down and eat. I'll watch you eat."

"Oh……"

After Lin Qingying sat down, she ate her food in small bites and used her chopsticks to forcefully poke at the salted fish, struggling to pry off a piece of what she called a clove of garlic meat.

"After you finish eating, take a good rest and don't work anymore."

I stood up and said, "I have to go out for a gathering; they've been urging me to leave several times already."

"go quickly."

Lin Qingying looked up at me and said, "If you drink too much, call me and I'll come pick you up."

"Ah."

I nodded and went out to hail a taxi.

……

Sitting in the taxi, her voice was still echoing in my mind.

After we confessed our feelings to each other, it seemed like there was no real progress between us. Neither of us knew how to bring it up, and we missed the best opportunity to confirm our relationship because of the sudden Yuening Energy crisis.

Shortly after, we arrived at the agreed-upon hotel.

Cai Cai treated us to a meal, and she actually roasted a suckling pig – what a lavish gesture!

"What's the story behind this pig?" I asked.

"Hehe, it's my treat!"

Cai Cai said, "Boss, you don't know this, but last night I finally completed an S-level daily task that I had been dragging on for half a month, and surprisingly, I was rewarded with a Resurrection Scripture. The transaction was just completed, and this Resurrection Scripture was sold to Bingzi for 50, so this time our whole team has a Resurrection Scripture!"

"sharp……"

I nodded: "Faye, where did you get your resurrection book?"

"I traded it for one orange-tier item, two purple-tier items, and 200,000 star coins," Fa Ye Chao Chen said. "What a rip-off! I should have just bought this book from Cai Cai. 500,000 was a steal... Tsk tsk, what a loss!"

"That's good."

I looked at everyone and asked, "Have you decided where to go next?"

"Ok!"

Cai Cai nodded emphatically: "Thunder Island, a nightmare-level map!"

"Holy crap, Thunder Isle???"

I frowned and fell into deep thought. In the list of phase teleportation arrays in Huaining City, Thunder Island and two other maps were at the bottom, and the names of the teleportation arrays were all blood red. Ordinary players would not dare to touch them. Even large guilds like Crimson Sky Alliance and Ember Domain have never organized an event to go to the Nightmare Map. You can imagine how difficult it is.

"How about it?"

Cai Cai asked cautiously, "Boss, do you think we can go to this map? If it's really not feasible, we can choose a weaker map instead, after all, safety comes first."

"Correct."

Ruolin also looked at me: "Ding Han, what do you think? Is there any possibility of conquering Thunder God Island?"

Hōya Chōshō and Hōbō Chīrī also cast expectant glances their way.

"It's not that you can't go."

I chuckled and said, "At worst, we'll just have to pay for the lesson with a Resurrection Tome. It's a bit of a gacha fee, but we still need to tackle these high-difficulty maps. Otherwise, how will we become top-tier players in the future?"

"Makes sense!"

The fat man slammed his hand on the table: "As the saying goes, when we meet again, the young man draws his bow to the fullest, unafraid of the years or the wind. With our average combat strength above average and a T0 player like Ding Han leading the team, we should go and challenge ourselves with something more difficult."

"Damn you, fatso! You're trying to knock over the roast pig before we've even eaten it?" Cai Cai desperately tried to steady the table.

I was speechless and said, "Damn it, who gave me the T0 designation?"

"I'm the one who gave you the title, brother," the fat man said shamelessly, patting his chest.

Faye and Bingzi laughed heartily.

Zhang Ruolin said, "Alright, stop fooling around and let's eat first. I'm starving!"

"Yes, yes, let's eat! Fill the glasses!"

So, everyone got up and raised a glass of wine to toast each other.

Happy New Year, comrades!

A glass of ice-cold beer is so refreshing.

Next, everyone mingled and chatted about the future and their life ideals. One by one, these ruthless bandits, who seemed to have emerged from the wilderness with explosive guns in their arms, suddenly transformed into philosophers, and the topics they discussed became increasingly profound.

Around nine o'clock, at my suggestion, everyone ended the gathering and agreed to meet at the player black market at nine o'clock the next morning to go to Thunder Island for training.

"Squeak~~"

When I opened the door, the living room was pitch black.

Lin Qingying was very obedient and had really fallen asleep.

I washed up quickly and went to bed, falling asleep before 11 o'clock.

……

The next morning.

I woke up early, washed up, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and then had breakfast with Lin Qingying.

"How did you sleep last night?" I asked.

"You rested well."

She leaned closer: "Ding Han, do you think my eye bags and dark circles are bad?"

"My eye bags are okay, but my dark circles are a bit heavy, though much better than yesterday."

I laughed and said, "You don't know, when I walked in after get off work yesterday evening, I almost thought a wild giant panda had wandered into my house!"

"You..." She was both amused and exasperated, and raised her hand to punch me.

"Xiaoying, I'm going out on errands today and may be away from home for a day or two," I said.

"Another business trip?"

"Yes, the New Year is over, we can't slack off, we have to keep working hard!"

"All right……"

She said meaningfully, "Then you should be careful when you're out."

"Don't worry, always keep the word 'steady' in mind."

After going downstairs together and watching Lin Qingying drive away, they met up with Fatty. The two hailed a taxi and then headed to the player black market.

……

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the player black market. Cai Cai, Ruo Lin and others were already there. I counted the ammunition and supplies and then went to the phase teleportation array.

"brother!"

Cai Cai said casually, "Change the teleportation target to Thunder God Island, and teleport all seven of us together, thank you!"

"Thor Island?"

One of the players in charge of the teleportation array narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "You dare to go to a nightmare-level map? You've got guts, buddy..."

Then, his gaze swept over us one by one, and he said with relief, "So it's the team of the great god Zhu Ying. That makes sense. Have a safe journey. The teleportation fee is 3000 star coins. Please pay the fee before entering the teleportation array."

Everyone paid their share and then stepped into the teleportation array one after another.

"Shh!"

With a tearing sensation in his body, his physical body reformed in the next moment, and he stepped onto Thor Island.

Turning around, the teleportation array set up on Thor Island was not large, only three meters high, and was guarded by several military police carrying submachine guns. There were no vehicles available for rent.

Ahead lies an endless expanse of island terrain. This Thor Island is vast, and we will have to explore it on foot, searching for our own destiny.

"Let's go."

I picked up my bomb gun and said, "The terrain is huge, we need to hurry."

"go!"

The group followed behind, forming a single file.

After passing through the dense forest, we officially entered the Thunder God Island map ahead. High above, purple lightning flashed continuously. Looking down from above, patches of thunder swamps were scattered across the island, looking like they were off-limits to strangers. It was unknown how these thunder swamps were formed or what physical phenomenon they followed. In any case, Thunder God Island appeared before us.

I opened the large map and took a look. I finally decided to explore from the east side of the island northwards. That way, even if I encountered monsters, I would still have the ocean as a route and wouldn't be left with nowhere to retreat.

Soon after, he led everyone into a dense, towering forest.

"rustle……"

The ground was covered in moss, as if it had just rained, and the forest was filled with the scent of fungal spores, which made me feel slightly uneasy.

"Damn it, I feel like something's watching us," Cai Cai said.

“I feel the same way,” Kou Mei nodded.

I squinted, activated the scope and infrared system of the bomb gun, and observed carefully. Sure enough, in the canopy of these towering trees, there were objects hanging down, which looked like bats hanging upside down, but upon closer inspection, their appearance was full of deceptive colors, like the feathers of some kind of bird.

Under night vision systems, they have very obvious infrared signatures!
"Watch out, it's up there!"

I quickly warned them, and the next moment, "squeak squeak squeak" sounds came from all directions. The monsters suddenly released their feet, and their bodies spiraled and unfolded in the air, turning into creatures that were full of electricity!
"Damn, what the hell?!" The fat man was startled.

My gaze, however, locked onto a monster, and in the blink of an eye, I shared its attribute information with the team.

【Thunderbird】(Elite)

Rating: 50
Attack: 1000-1250
Defense: 450
Qi and blood: 10000
Grade: Demonic Aura - Level I
Evolutionary form: [Thunder Demon-I]

Skills: [Bite Lv6] [Lightning Strike Lv6]

Details: Thunderbirds are avian life forms infected by demonic energy. They are rare Level I demonic spirits with a second form. Because they live in groups, you must be extra careful if you encounter them!
……

"It's a 10,000-HP elite, be careful!"

I looked up and saw swarms of Thunderbirds flapping their wings, and shouted, "Shoot! Don't let them get close!"

The next moment, I locked onto the Thunder Birdman's head with the bomb gun and fired 4-5 shots in one burst. In just a few seconds, I headshot several Thunder Birdmen, and the experience points flew by!

[You have defeated the Thunderbird (Elite) and received the following reward: Character Experience +1200! Due to the ongoing Lunar New Year event (New Year's Eve - the fifth day of the Lunar New Year), double experience is available, and you receive an additional reward of +1200!]

Holy crap, a Spring Festival event with double experience points?!

Away from the big spectrum!

If the situation weren't a bit tense right now, I would definitely have laughed out loud.

In the air, although the Thunderbirds were formidable, they couldn't break through at all. The combat strength of our squad was now vastly different from what it used to be. In particular, the output of Cai Cai and Fatty, the two fourth-tier firepower specialists, was terrifying. Coupled with my max-level shooting expert, we basically formed a fire net overhead, making it difficult for any to escape!
"Watch out for the second form!"

I fired while keeping a close eye on what was ahead.

The Thunderbird who was shot fell from the sky and turned into a fireball, but the fireball crackled and was constantly crackling with lightning. In the blink of an eye, it entered its second form: Thunder Demon!

The Thunder Demon looked just like a little boy wearing a bib, with his hands outstretched, shooting out bolts of lightning!

"Sizzle!"

In the front row, Cai Cai was the first to be hit, her hair standing on end from the electric shock, and her whole body was charred black!
"1662!"

"1764!"

"1575!"

……

No one could withstand such continuous electric shocks!

"Kill the Thunder Demon!"

I immediately leveled my gun and said, "Cai Cai and I will take care of the second phase. The rest of you, continue killing the Thunder Birdmen. Move the position back and away from the area where the Thunder Demons fell. Everyone, watch your health!"

"I know, don't worry, boss!"

Everyone responded one by one.

Gunshots rang out in the dim forest, and streaks of fire illuminated everything around us. Although the number of Thunderbirds roosting in the canopy of the woods was large, they were still no match for our team. Instead, the double experience bonus during the Spring Festival allowed everyone to gain a huge amount of experience points.

This feels so good.

After reaching level 45, I felt that leveling up became significantly more difficult. Even grinding monsters for a long time and getting the reward from an S-rank quest might not be enough to level up once. Every level up from now on will be a long battle, so this double experience is very timely!
So we kept scrolling until around dusk. As the sun set, we finally emerged from the jungle, only to find the island still barren ahead.

"drop!"

A message came from Gun Like a Dragon: "Ding Han, I heard you guys went to the Nightmare-level map Thunder Island?"

"Yes, we're currently on Thor Island. What's up?"

"fine……"

"Just a reminder to you, be careful on Thunder God Island," said the gunman. "I heard from the guide that Huaining City isn't the only place that can teleport to Thunder God Island. It seems there's also a teleportation point in the Star Maple Federation that has been connected to Thunder God Island, but the location of the teleportation array is different. So you must be extra careful, as you may not be the only ones on the island."

"understood."

I nodded and relayed the message to the rest of the team. After that, we continued to advance deeper into Thunder Island. Now that we were here, there was no need to hesitate. Everyone had a Resurrection Codex, so let's just get to work!
“Zizi~~~”

Not long after we left the forest, streaks of purple lightning suddenly fell into the forest, and the earth trembled slightly. Then, it seemed that countless purple energies were being drawn up from the forest and continuously condensed in the air. In the blink of an eye, there was a burst of lightning and thunder!
"what's the situation?"

The fat man gripped his explosive pistol tightly and looked back warily.

Cai Cai took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the soul of the demon we killed before has been devoured. If nothing unexpected happens, a demon boss should have been triggered."

"Wait?"

Ruolin looked at me.

"Well, wait."

I picked up my bomb gun and nodded, saying, "We're here to fight the BOSS, so we'll definitely have to wait."

Fa Yechao raised his eyebrows slightly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Huo Bingzhiri, ready for battle.

“Zizi~~”

Thunder swirled above the forest, and soon after, a purple bird-man, crackling with lightning, soared through the air, letting out a sharp shriek, and charged over with a strong demonic aura!
Lei Jing, a level 50 purple BOSS, has two forms!
"Aim and fire!"

Without hesitation, I aimed the bomb gun at Lei Jing's head and pulled the trigger the next second. Immediately, the sound of "bang bang bang" filled the air as a magazine of bullets hit Lei Jing's forehead. Instantly, the demonic energy surged and dissipated, and the armor on its body was rapidly weakened!

On both sides, Fatty, Cai Cai, Ruolin, Fa Ye Chaochen and others also opened fire. The group subconsciously spread out to reduce the area they were attacked. Suddenly, the Thunder Spirit in the air roared, opened its beak, and spat out a bolt of lightning that directly swallowed Cai Cai, who had a strong firepower output!
"12982!"

In an instant, the vegetables were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

Fortunately, he allocated his stat points to Strength, Constitution, and Agility, and now he has all purple gear and his health bar is over 3. Although this bite hurt, it was not fatal!
"Nima..."

He rolled over, his body steaming, and hid behind a rock, saying, "This thing can attack from a distance?"

"It's alright, keep outputting!"

I turned around, drew my UZI, and fired in close-range bursts. At a distance of less than 10 meters, it was as if I had the muzzle of the gun pressed against Lei Jing's forehead, instantly firing all 60 bullets!
Hehehe~~~

With a long roar, Lei Jing charged down, his body enveloped in lightning!

"Zi!"

I had no intention of dodging at all. I switched from UZI to Wind Chaser, cast a Stardust Wall around myself, and just as the Thunder Spirit's claws pierced the air and fell, I suddenly used a short-range step slash to make the attack miss. Then I turned around and charged with explosive energy, and activated the combo of Heavenly Craftsmanship, Unstoppable Force, and War Cry!
Lei Jing roared and turned around, but the next second he was frozen to the bone by Han Xing. Then he took a set of continuous attacks, including combo slash, ash sweep, and blood-draining frenzy. His health bar dropped rapidly, and he lost more than 15 health points in 5 seconds. Then he took a set of damage from the bomb gun, and lost another 8 health points!
"I rely on..."

Cai Cai stared in disbelief: "Wow!"

"Output with all your strength!"

The moment Ruolin ran out of bullets, she launched a burst of energy and charged forward. Her purple monomolecular longsword unleashed a series of skills, followed by a powerful Rising Dragon Slash that sent the BOSS flying, allowing her to continue controlling the situation!
I took the opportunity to empty another UZI magazine. Instantly, Lei Jing let out a wail, his health bar was emptied, and he collapsed limply, his body turning into a pile of fiery red ashes!
"Watch out, it's about to enter its second form!"

The reason why monsters are troublesome is that high-level boss monsters usually have multiple forms. One kill is not enough. Sometimes it takes 3-4 kills to truly defeat them!

……

“Zizi~~”

Lightning flowed across the earth, and a few seconds later, the fiery red ashes actually swirled up one by one in the windless state, and then quickly gathered, transforming into a bird-man wielding a steel fork, becoming even more ferocious and domineering!
Lei Po, a level 50 purple boss!

"on!"

Without hesitation, I immediately started the second set of Heavenly Craftsmanship + Unstoppable Force + War Cry. Before Lei Po could get up with his steel fork, I used a burst of energy to stun him. Then, I followed up with a perfect control combo and violent output. Instantly, Lei Po's arms were cut off multiple times under the slashing of the power sword!
Unfortunately, demons are energy entities, not true organic life forms. When I severed Lei Po's hands and feet, the severed limbs did not fall to the ground, but hovered in the air, where demonic energy continuously condensed and reconnected the limbs.

Of course, the damage dealt is still calculated, and it's quite substantial!

"Shh!"

A dragon-binding rope tied it to the spot. As I retreated rapidly, I took out my explosive gun and fired a whole magazine, but it was empty!

"You damned bastards!"

Finally, Lei Po actually spoke, uttering the voice of an older woman, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Keep her under control, don't let her fight back!"

At my command, we continuously switched weapons and began firing.

Ruolin rushed out instantly and unleashed a set of control moves. Immediately afterward, Koumei and Faye Chaochen also used their psionic chains and stardust tentacles to follow up with another set of control moves. As for Cai Cai and Fatty, they didn't care about anything and just kept attacking with their fiery red gun barrels!

Being a gunner is really fun; in situations like this, you can focus entirely on firing like crazy!

In less than half a minute, the BOSS's second form also turned into a state of low health. With a wail, the steel fork shattered, and its body also shattered, turning into demonic energy and scorching flames all over the ground, dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

[Congratulations! You have defeated the 〖Thunder Spirit〗 (purple BOSS) and obtained the item: 〖BOSS Ability Crystal〗×1!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the 〖Thunder Spirit〗 (purple BOSS), gaining 480000 character experience points. The Yuanli Furnace extracted 240000 experience points!]

……

We've got it covered. Those mere purple spirits are no match for our formidable team!

"We opened the treasure chest!" Huo Bingzhi said happily.

So everyone lowered their heads and opened their boxes.

When I flicked my finger, the purple treasure chest opened, and I got +8000 Star Coins... Great!
"Hey——"

After taking a deep breath, I didn't say a word and acted as if nothing had happened.

"So, did you get anything?" Cai Cai asked.

"A purple gaiter." The fat man exclaimed happily, "Damn, that feels so good..."

"Holy crap, what incredible luck!"

Cai Cai, Fa Ye Chao Chen, and Huo Bing Zhi Ri all gave each other the middle finger.

But just then, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound as the wind cut through the air, followed by Koumei stumbling back several steps, a damage number appearing above her forehead—

"1973!"

……

"careful!"

I took a step forward and instantly activated Stardust Wall to block Kou Mei. The next second, two sniper rifle bullets, trailing sparks, rushed towards me. They clattered and splashed on the star fragments of Stardust Wall, only reducing her resilience but not causing any damage!
"Back off, find cover!"

"Watch out, RPG!"

"Hōya Chōchō shouted."

About 200 meters away in the woods, we saw about seven or eight RPG rockets flying towards us, trailing fiery red tails!
"Don't run!"

Although Kou Mei lost nearly 2000 points of health, she was not too panicked and shouted, "Come to my side, everyone!"

The next moment, her pupils emitted a silver light, and she raised her hand and summoned a psionic barrier in front of her. In an instant, not only the enemy's sniper rifle bullets, but even the rockets flew into the barrier one by one, only causing ripples, and there was no loud explosion as expected!
Psionic Barrier, what a god-tier skill on the battlefield!
I quickly switched to my RPG and said in a deep voice, "Spread out and take cover, fire two rounds of RPGs together, then charge with me!"

"it is good!"

The group quickly dispersed and sought cover. Then, rockets flew through the night sky with a "whoosh" sound, heading straight for the jungle where the enemy was hiding!

"Boom boom boom~~~"

A violent explosion rang out, and the woodland was instantly ignited, with flames shooting into the sky!

"One more round!"

I quickly loaded the second round and fired it!
Meanwhile, the opponent's ID swayed in the night. Due to the firefight, their numbers could be seen on the minimap, totaling 12. In the firelight, it was vaguely discernible that they were all white players. Just as the saying goes, "Gunfire is like a dragon," not only Chinese players but also some foreign players could be teleported to Thunder Isle!
Just then, the star map flickered, and a voice rang out, speaking in broken Chinese: "You don't need to put up any more futile resistance! I am Owen, a player from the Star Maple Federation. We have come in large numbers, with only one purpose: to kill Zhu Ying! The rest of you can leave now. We will only kill Zhu Ying. I hope you won't make a mistake!"

"Nima..."

Cai Cai frowned: "These foreigners are really good at this kind of divide-and-conquer strategy, aren't they?"

"if not."

Fa Yechao said, "Who do you think those financial bloggers on Sina Weibo are, their dogs?"

"Stop talking, get ready to charge!"

I switched to the bomb gun and said in a deep voice, "They are only about 180 meters away from us. I will charge first. After I start fighting them, you guys charge. Cai Cai and Fatty don't need to get close. You guys charge to within 50 meters and start shooting. Ruo Lin, don't hold back on your burst charge. You charge up first and help me spread the fire!"

"understand!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

The next second, I twisted and rushed out of the rock that was concealing me, holding the explosive gun and rushing forward with a "whoosh", then I kept moving in an S-shaped serpentine manner to get closer!
The white players seemed to be getting impatient, and started firing submachine guns at intervals of 150+ meters. However, this distance was basically beyond the effective range of most submachine guns, and the bullets flew around wildly with absolutely no accuracy!

"Shh!"

Activate the skill directly – Bio-optical Invisibility!
His body vanished into the wind in an instant. For a moment, the opposing group looked as if they had seen a ghost. Their faces turned ashen, and they shouted in a language that was incomprehensible to them.

18 seconds of invisibility time is enough for me to rush in and get close!
"rustle……"

A soft rustling sound came from beneath his feet, but this sound was quickly drowned out by the sound of the waves and the continuous thunderclaps above Thor Island. The next moment, he rushed to within 40 yards of his target, locking onto a sinister-looking white youth hiding behind a tree—Owen!
"Bang bang bang-"

The bomb gun fired first, instantly unleashing more than 10 bullets, each shot exploding and taking away half of Owen's health bar. Just as he realized what was happening, I had already activated my super-charged charge!

"Pong!"

The shockwave erupted, and Owen was stunned on the spot as soon as he took out his shield. Then, the Power Sword Windseeker flashed and disappeared, instantly slicing through his neck!

A thin line of blood spread, and Owen's neck was split in two, but a layer of golden energy quickly enveloped it, as if time had reversed. I vaguely saw a flashback of the power sword cutting through the neck, and then Owen's body, enveloped in golden light, was restored to its original state!

Sure enough, he possessed the Holy Scripture of Resurrection!
