Chapter 760 759. The hunting time has awakened!
Lao Qu went offline and made a phone call. He took the time to quickly clean his face that he hadn't taken care of for two days. Then he chewed an energy bar and lay on the bed and put on his helmet. A few seconds later, he was on the hillside where he was hiding.
Opened his eyes.
This has left the area of the ruins of the Black Flame Pass position.
To be precise, the location of this hillside has entered the area called "Hungry Plains". From here, you can reach the Brass Fortress all the way west. Of course, hiking through the current Hungry Plains is very scary, because the jackals are in the area.
While attacking Transia, we were also fighting at the Brass Fortress.
Given this situation, it is no exaggeration to say that the Dark Mountain Range has turned into a mess.
But it is precisely because this mountainous area has moved away from the Black Flame Pass that the twelve teams patrolling here were not able to discover in time the "big things" the Blood Scar Jackals were doing nearby.
"Damn thing!"
Lao Qu glanced at the unhealed "astral rift" in the gloomy sky in the distance behind him, and he cursed in a low voice:
"Ever since the Tower of Rings used this thing, it seemed like everyone was using it overnight. Even the fucking jackals started to imitate us in throwing psychic nuclear bombs. Damn it, these guys can't learn anything better.
?"
He cursed, but still stood up quickly and took a few steps forward. He lowered his body and hid by the rocks, and asked Mia, the Jaeger Corporal who was holding a telescope next to him and observing the situation in the valley below:
"How is it going?"
"Psychic energy is still gathering, Captain Qu."
Mia immediately replied:
"North and Papel descended along the ridge to prepare for close reconnaissance, but it should be difficult for them to get close to the valley below. They were surrounded by the wolf cavalry of the Bloodscar clan patrolling, and there were also those jackal priests who presided over the ceremony in the valley below.
Protected by the army.
I saw Manson!
I’m not mistaken, there is a portrait of this old jackal in the wanted notice issued by the People’s Army, and I can be sure that it is him who presided over this ceremony here.”
"Is that a gold-level BOSS?"
Lao Qu also picked up his telescope and scanned the valley below. He said:
"This is not a guy we can deal with right now."
"But we can't let them continue the ceremony like this!"
Mia said excitedly:
"Even if it means death, we have to stop it."
"The problem is that our death cannot change the situation. Death is always the last choice."
Lao Qu glanced at this girl in surprise. The past few days of getting along with her made him realize that this girl has a very silent character and is very talented. She is so calm when carrying out long-distance sniping. It is rare to see her so excited.
But Brother Qu is a veteran player. He understood it as soon as he rolled his eyes and whispered:
"Did you have family members killed in the Cadman City disaster?"
This question silenced Corporal Mia. After a few seconds, she nodded and said:
"Everyone except me. But that's not why I'm making the suggestion now, Captain! I'm not saying this out of personal hatred. The place where the jackals perform their rituals is not within a straight line distance from the Shadow Valley.
To 15 kilometers!
They must be heading towards our command post and Lord Murphy.
Once we let them complete this ritual, all our efforts to win so far will be in vain.
I'm not afraid of death!
When I joined the People's Army, I knew that death was the fate of soldiers. Our predecessors relied on their fearless death to rebuild our hometown in more than half a year. You are also one of those brave pioneers.
But there are still so many people in Transia, and you and all of us are devoting everything to this war. We cannot let the ferocious gnolls just step into the new home we have built with great difficulty.
The tragedy of Cadman City. Once is enough!"
"well said!"
Lao Qu grinned.
Thumbs up to this young girl who is at least eight years younger than him. He did not have such a flash of consciousness when he was so old. In the eyes of a newbie, this probably means that the development team must have written for this NPC.
A good background story, but Brother Qu knows the situation.
Although it was never confirmed, he knew that this girl was alive, no different from him, just an ordinary person living in another world.
"You have made your determination to this point. If we immortal heroes retreat here, wouldn't we be laughed at by you? Don't worry, we will find a way."
Brother Qu made his promise and then continued to observe the situation in the valley below.
This is obviously a large random event.
In the gentle area in the valley below, the jackals created a temporary ritual site. They did not use formed psychic crystals, but directly used a large number of priests as the core of the ritual. Brother Qu observed carefully with a telescope and found that
At least two hundred gnoll priests were involved.
The blood-scarred priest Manson is at the center of the ritual, wielding a bone staff that shines with starlight in the daytime as the ritual regulator and releaser.
The accumulation of psychic energy concentration here has reached a level that even a non-psychic master like him can detect. Judging from the experience of players participating in releasing the Star Boundary Tear, the ceremony held by the jackals has reached the second half.
Trying to interfere with the ceremony by destroying one or two nodes won't work.
"We need real experts to get involved. The result of rushing in so recklessly will definitely not be good."
Brother Qu quickly made a judgment.
A few minutes later, other members of the Big Bird Group rushed over as quickly as possible, and the NPC assigned to them was also there.
But everyone was numb when they saw the situation before them.
"I have already invited brothers from other teams to come and participate in the grand event in the post, but they may not be able to make it, and there are simply not enough people!"
Brother Miao Miao immediately made a judgment:
"We have to call for help, but there is no need to expect a response from the Shadow Valley. The Jackals had previously cast a magic spell to confine the space there, and the people inside could not use teleportation to leave.
Damn it!
At that time, they had already made plans to use Astral Tear to destroy the Shadow Valley. That magic was just a starting move. Fuck, was this specifically revenge for us using Astral Tear to destroy the Splitclaw clan?
?
Are these bitches so vindictive?"
"If Shadow Valley doesn't work, then we can only go to Fort Courage."
Yan Sang maintained the reconnaissance skills in his hands, allowing others to see the situation in the valley more clearly. This investigator, who was very reliable at critical moments, stopped telling his favorite dirty jokes. He said very seriously:
"There are enough manpower over there. The problem is how they get here. It's not close to Fort Courage, and whether the communication at Fort Courage is smooth is also a big problem."
"I called the landline, and the people over there said it would be up to them. The phone rang. I'll get off the line and pick it up."
Brother Miao Miao went offline again. This time he picked up the phone and before speaking, a steady voice answered:
"First of all, thank you for your report. This news comes very timely.
The command headquarters has notified Lord Murphy, and he told us that he will send professionals to your current location. Gold-level jackals don't have to worry about having dedicated personnel to deal with it. Fort Courage is already preparing for a raid.
But now there is a problem.
Even the portal raid tactic requires a precise landing point. Only your team is there now, so this task can only be left to you."
"I don't mind being the teleportation coordinate for the army."
Brother Miao Miao replied with some confusion:
"But the problem is, there are no spellcasters in my team, only a scout psionicist."
"It doesn't matter. The headquarters has made plans for this situation in advance."
"Domestic 007" on the other side of the phone explained in a slow voice:
"Do you still remember that when you were at Point A, you got an emergency package distributed by the headquarters to every commander? There was a rune stone in it for positioning, which was originally intended to be used as a locator in rescue situations.
, but in this case it can also be used as a teleportation beacon.
We just consulted the psionicist in the valley, and her advice was to find a flat area, bury the runestone and wait for a response.
But because that thing is one-time use, you cannot change the position once it is activated. You have to choose the best direction for the assault force of Fort Courage to enter the battlefield. In addition, when this thing is used to transmit beacons, it will trigger an unshieldable
Psychic fluctuations.
That means once it's buried, you'll be exposed."
"Ah, I understand! The classic mission of guarding the portal!"
Brother Miao Miao understood immediately and said:
"Okay, leave it to us. Please inform Mr. Murphy and Mr. Qin of our decision. The Big Bird Group promises to complete the mission!"
"etc."
Domestic 007 couldn’t help but ask:
"This is a life-threatening job"
"I know. If this job were simple, would you still need to deliver the news so solemnly?"
Brother Mingmiao grinned, thought for a while, and said to the other person on the phone:
"I guess you don't play games much, right?"
"Well, it's true that I don't pursue much entertainment."
The young domestic 007 said in confusion:
"But does this have anything to do with me not playing games?"
"You're not a player, so of course you can't understand the players' thoughts. So, you guys with a professional background are still not down-to-earth enough. Man, just canceling the mission of Chenlong with you will cause people to call you cowards on the forum.
A truth.
It's a game, man!
This is not a war mission. Playing games is about having fun and having fun!
If we want to be safe no matter what we do, why do we come here to fight with the jackals?"
Brother Miao Miao expressed his thoughts tactfully, he said:
"Just like this mission, everyone knows that it means death, but no one will refuse. Because playing such an important role in such a key mission that can affect the war situation means that as long as I can pass this mission, my brother
We hold the ticket to enter the Players Hall of Fame.
Oops, it’s hard for you to understand what I’m telling you.
You don’t understand how much players can pay for an honorary achievement. Although everyone has different reasons for being addicted to the game world, whether it is to escape reality or enjoy entertainment, Transia is now a standard stage of personal heroism!
When you were a child and watched Ultraman, didn't you ever think that you could become Zero's human body?
Don’t you believe in light?”
"Well, I know you're explaining it to me, but the problem is that young people of our generation generally don't watch Ultraman."
007 complained:
"But I can probably understand what you mean, it's like a belt that you can play with cards, right? Realize the dream of a hero in your heart. I accept your suggestion and will try to use a player's mentality to carry out the next work.
But again, this task is very important and I hope you will take it seriously."
"As I said before, the Big Bird Group guarantees to complete the mission!"
Brother Miao Miao hung up the phone after saying a few words, then put on his helmet and entered the game to convey the command's orders. He opened the commander's emergency bag and found a rune stone covered with complex wrinkles.
.
"We can't all go down to guard the portal."
When everyone was excitedly preparing to set off, Lao Qu shook his head and said:
"There are too many people down there. I have to find a way to share some of the pressure with you and cause them some trouble."
"So? What are you going to do? Use that big gun of yours to kill Manson instantly?"
Sanwudou joked:
"Come on, brother, snipers can't fight this kind of scene. There are elite silvers on the opposite side. You can't kill them with one shot. If the target is exposed, you will die."
"I don't intend to hit anyone either."
Lao Qu curled his lips and said:
"Did you see the staff in Manson's hand? That thing is obviously a very important ritual item. As long as it is broken, their ritual may not stop, but it will definitely produce some wonderful changes.
Even triggering the Astral Rip in advance is better than waiting for them to complete the ritual.
You guys go down, I’ll find a place to fire that fatal shot. Also, I’m going to start my silver trial here.”
"Fuck, are you serious?"
Brother Miao Miao widened his eyes and said:
"If you die in the trial once, the lost potential cannot be recovered. The human development team has made it clear that the most perfect situation is to complete it in one go. I suggest you play it safe."
"If I wanted to be safe, I wouldn't come here. Don't worry, I'm sure."
Brother Qu grinned and patted his beloved big gun, waved to his brothers, put the big gun on his back and headed in the other direction. He wanted to find a way to get as close as possible to the valley to complete his sniper mission.
But a few minutes later, Lao Qu turned around in surprise and saw his three hunter apprentices following him.
"Why are you following me?"
Brother Qu scolded ungratefully:
"Go, go, follow them down below to guard the portal."
"But as you said, this is also the best way for us to make an outstanding contribution to this war. As you said, the best sniper does not lie in how many bullets he shoots or how many enemies he takes away, but in his ability to
You cannot use your own gun to reverse fate at the most critical moment."
Corporal Mia said in a deep voice:
"So, please allow us to participate in your hunting, Captain Qu! Although we only have one life, we are happy to dedicate it to our hometown."
"I'm just afraid that you will drag me down. I have to cover you at the critical moment."
Lao Qu complained, but looking at the determination of the three NPCs, he did not drive them away in the end.
He said:
"I have spare parts for the 'Troll Hammer' in my bag. I brought enough things from the warehouse, and I should be able to save a second gun, which I will give you to use. If I make a mistake, you must make up for it immediately.
superior!
There won't be many chances to shoot, if we all miss
That would be really embarrassing."
A few minutes later, Qu Ge found a good sniper spot. He and his apprentice rappelled down from the cliff, divided into two positions, and hid at the protruding point of the crack on the ridge.
This is the favorite Yin position among the veterans of Battlefield!
The place is high enough and the distance is far enough. Except for special firearms, ordinary bows and arrows cannot reach this location.
Lao Qu lay there, raising his big gun and aiming it downwards.
This distance has reached beyond the limit of this anti-tank gun, so Qu must use modified gold-burning extended-range ammunition to ensure sufficient muzzle velocity.
He is not a professional sniper.
In reality, he always wanted to go to the shooting range but couldn't spare the time. Although he could always achieve amazing results in other FPS games, his gaming experience of using the mouse to aim was not useful in this situation. He relied on it all.
Over seven months of practice and combat experience in Transia.
Brother Qu is not really a top player, and he has only obtained the power of four ancestors, but his advantage is that he is specialized enough.
This guy's melee ability is probably the worst among the Big Birds. Now that the jackals can use long-range invalid totems, the advantage of the shooter is infinitely offset. The forums are full of complaints and pessimism about this profession.
But Laoqu doesn’t think so
He pursues a rather middle-of-the-road thinking!
That is, every road can lead to the end. If you can't, it's not a problem with the road, it's a problem with the people.
"Ah, I really want a lock at this time. It would be best if I could get a big spinning top. I'll rush down and kill you all by myself!"
Lao Qu complained and threw a piece of weird-tasting hard candy into his mouth.
This is what Xiao Ashina taught him. The process of chewing can effectively disperse stress.
He took a deep breath through his nostrils and put the sight of the scope into his field of vision. It was beyond the range and the view was not clear. Brother Qu snorted, simply put the scope aside, and directly used the most primitive
machine sight.
The power of the ancestors and the eyes of the falcon are activated!
Green light filled his pupils, and the focus of his field of vision instantly expanded, allowing him to clearly lock his target.
The starry staff in the hand of the golden priest named Manson.
But this is not enough.
If you want to crush something that looks terrible, you cannot rely solely on the power of the bullet itself.
The power of the ancestors and the hunting instinct are activated!
The 100% potential bar belonging to Brother Qu began to burn. The experience was completely different from Orchid's trial. The whole world in his eyes slowed down at this moment. Everything around him was quickly blocked, as if there was only one person in the whole world.
What's left is him, the gun in his hand, and the target in the distance.
