Chapter 1141 - 26: Dominating the Kill Steal
In Su Xiao’s hands was the ominous weapon known as the [Duke of Extinction+13], and this sniper cannon was about to reveal its fierce side.
After taking out the [Duke of Extinction], Su Xiao retrieved a black alloy stand from his storage space, as the current terrain offered no place to set it up.
The stand was quickly set up, and Su Xiao mounted the [Duke of Extinction] on it, beginning to adjust the height and shooting angle.
He took out two bullets of 19.67mm caliber, one an Element Bullet (Earth), and the other a regular bullet, more precisely the armor-piercing bullet with stronger penetration.
According to the information provided by Bu Bu, there was a barrier around the basin, placed as an insurance measure by the Adventure group to prevent outsiders from stealing the kill.
What Su Xiao was about to do was obvious; yes, he intended to snatch the kill.
The reason Su Xiao knew an Adventure group was besieging Yubi was quite interesting. Upon reaching the vicinity of the East Guotuo Royal Capital, Bu Bu discovered a female worker being chased by Mosaic ant minions.
Let’s not mention that Su Xiao was never the type to be a hero to rescue beauties, especially after the Rose incident — he’s always cautious with those workers being hunted, especially women. Who knows what their real strength is.
The female worker wasn’t pretending to be strong; she was indeed chased to the brink of losing her mind and was about to perish. She called out three sentences, and the third one saved her life.
First sentence: "Boss, save me, I’m willing to pay Paradise coins."
Second sentence: "Let’s roll in the sheets, just save me and you can choose any position."
Third sentence: "The Starfire Adventure Team is preparing to besiege one of the three guards, Yubi. I know the location."
Clearly, the third sentence successfully moved Su Xiao, and A Mu helped the female worker deal with the pursuers, then fittingly snapped one of her arms and legs.
From her tearful description, Su Xiao learned the full story. At that time, A Mu was gripping her head, and with just a slight exertion, she could be killed instantly. It can be imagined, that was definitely not a pleasant experience.
Though the female worker was left with indelible shadows both physically and mentally, she survived.
The credibility of this intel was temporarily unknown, but it held some value, which led to Su Xiao’s strong presence as an onlooker during the Starfire Adventure Team’s battle with Yubi.
Su Xiao first loaded a regular bullet into the chamber, then an Element Bullet (Earth). To pierce the barrier, the Element Bullet (Earth) was more suitable, its warhead more solid given its Earth element.
Su Xiao took a deep breath and activated the Duke of Extinction’s inherent ability, ’Duke’s Domain’.
Crack, crack...
A scope popped out from the body of the Duke of Extinction.
Equipment Effect 1: Duke’s Domain (Active), when this skill is activated, an adaptive magnification scope (2~53 times) will eject. Targets within 500 meters are manually aimed, and if the target exceeds 500 meters, a locking function can be activated requiring 10 seconds to lock on. Target options include head, chest, arms, lower limbs, etc. Upon locking on, the next shot will include bullet tracking effect, with a maximum range of 4762 meters (enhanced +13 increases range by 1260 meters).
...
Su Xiao was currently about 1200 meters away from Yubi, and he adjusted the scope to 18 times magnification.
The Duke of Extinction’s scope was a high-tech item. As Su Xiao leaned his head near the scope, a red crosshair appeared. In the center was a circle, enlarging and reducing with Su Xiao’s heartbeat.
The scope not only had a heartbeat sensing function, but its edges displayed wind speed, temperature, humidity, air resistance value, pressure, and over a dozen data points, eliminating the need for Su Xiao to perceive them individually.
All sniper-related data were accounted for by this scope. His sole task was finding the moment and ensuring precision and stability during the shot.
The scope slightly rotated, ultimately aiming at Yubi.
A kilometer away, Yubi was grabbing a melee contractor, who was a lone contractor, leaving no one to rescue.
Just as Yubi was about to tear apart the person in his hands, its body suddenly froze, its entire cells entering alert mode — escape, quickly escape, or face impending death!
The reason Yubi reacted this way was due to the terrifying sensation of being locked on by the Duke of Extinction. If being targeted by the Spider Queen felt like a dagger against the back of the skull, then the Duke of Extinction felt like standing closely in front of a siege cannon’s muzzle, with life at risk of being taken at any moment.
The Duke of Extinction was of Gold Quality, once the main weapon of a Fifth Tier contractor. That contractor used it from Fourth Tier until considering a change at Fifth Tier.
Now in Su Xiao’s hands, the Duke of Extinction’s destructive potential was beyond imagination.
With Su Xiao’s firearm skill bonuses, though he couldn’t instantly kill Fourth Tier contractors with one shot, within Third Tier he definitely wouldn’t need a second shot. Even for a Main Tank, one bullet meant death unless met with a contract killer powerful enough to explode beyond Third Tier levels.
Su Xiao slowly squeezed the trigger.
Boom!
A thunderous blast resounded as large cracks appeared on the small hill where Su Xiao was located, the recoil of the Duke of Extinction was incredibly fierce.
An earth-yellow bullet instantly left the muzzle of the Duke of Extinction, spinning rapidly, with a trail of yellow light behind it.
The earth element bullet charged forward with terrifying momentum, remarkably fast, though earth element bullets were said to be the slowest among them — the fastest were Thunder Attribute ones.
In a mere moment, the element bullet struck a transparent barrier.
The barrier crumbled like paper, shattering with a crack, the second barrier breaking immediately after.
Bang!
As if a comet collided with the Earth, the entire basin shook, some mages casting spells nearly fell.
A yellow streak passed by, and the basin’s center thundered explosively, shattered rocks spewing up dozens of meters.
Everyone paused their actions, and even Yubi at the basin center stood dumbfounded.
Just a second ago, Yubi felt something brushed past its side, experiencing fear of death, an extraordinarily unfamiliar sensation.
With a crash, small pebbles fell from the sky; the bald Captain swallowed his saliva, uncertain from where the attack came, but knowing one thing: none present could withstand that assault, not even Big Boss Yubi.
After the yellow streak, five layers of barriers shattered, and the basin’s center had a basin-wide deep hole.
"Everyone, retreat! Life is precious, forget Yubi!"
The bald Captain roared and turned to race out of the basin, taking only 2 seconds to determine that besieging Yubi under those threatening attacks was a foolish decision.
