Chapter 107: Chapter 99: Li Zheng’s 6 Guns!

The long spear pierced into the head, and with a deft twist of his wrist, Li Zheng stirred the monster wolf’s brain into mush.

“Poof!”

Li Zheng pressed down on the spear shaft and lifted it up, directly tearing open the monster wolf’s skull cap, bringing up a trail of brain matter clinging to the spear tip.

The long spear weaved like a dragon, and in the blink of an eye, it stabbed into the neck of another monster wolf.

It was only then that the previous monster wolf, which had lost its skull cap, softly collapsed, limbs twitching, losing all signs of life.

The monster wolf that was pierced in the neck went crazy, unbelievably tearing off half of its own neck, while both sharp wolf claws simultaneously clawed at Li Zheng’s chest.

“Take off!”

Without even retrieving his spear, Li Zheng’s flying device behind him suddenly increased its jet power, lifting him into the air and avoiding the two wolf claws.

The momentum of the forward pounce exhausted, the monster wolf with only half its neck left collapsed onto the ground, clearly beyond saving.

Meanwhile, from a diagonal angle, two monster wolves simultaneously leaped up towards Li Zheng in the air, intending to kill him on the spot.

“Hmph.”

Li Zheng sneered, swinging his spear horizontally with full force, smacking one of the monster wolves.

“Bang!”

A dull sound, the monster wolf’s head was struck askew by Li Zheng, its neck bone snapping, flying off to the side like a tattered sack.

“Da da da.”

On the other side, the M4 gun fired, three consecutive shots, all hitting the monster wolf’s head that leaped into the air.

The Silver Level M4 bullets burrowed into its facial bones, lodging tightly.

“Awoo~”

The monster wolf cried out in pain, its body in mid-air being knocked off course by the bullet’s kinetic energy, sharp claws almost grazing Li Zheng’s clothes as it swung past.

Turning his spear around, Li Zheng pursued this monster wolf from behind, thrusting the spear into the back of its head.

“Poof!”

The spear tip emerged from the monster wolf’s mouth, carrying red and white matter.

“Awesome!”

With Li Zheng’s ambush and Xiao Siyuan’s assistance, four monster wolves were slain, greatly reducing Liu Jiale’s pressure, prompting a shout of praise.

“Move aside!”

Ye Yuan, who had been standing behind Xiao Siyuan making ammunition, suddenly shouted. The Gatling gun had been re-mounted, its six barrels forming a circle, aiming at the remaining three monster wolves.

“Zzz~~”

The motor started, and the barrels slowly began to spin.

Liu Jiale accelerated with his Black Blade, dodging two incoming wolf claws, chopping off a huge wolf head before turning and running.

In the next moment, the unique sound of the Gatling gun roared to life, blue light flashing.

“Da da da da…”

The torrent of steel reappeared, leaving the two monster wolves powerless to fight back, being pushed back step by step.

Their flesh seemed like snow being suddenly hit by a hot water pipe, crumbling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a minute, the Gatling gun’s rotation speed slowed, finally stopping, with a symbolic wisp of smoke rising from the muzzle.

The two monster wolves had been reduced to two piles of minced meat, brutally slain.

In reality, all weapons and ammunition in the matrix rely on Active Core energy, theoretically no smoke should rise from the muzzle.

However… in the game world, some rules are inherently unreasonable.

Li Zheng landed, glanced at the halted Gatling gun, and asked, “High-tier ammunition?”

Being able to break the monster wolves’ defenses, easily blasting them into pieces, the ammunition level must have reached Silver Level.

Ye Yuan shook his head, “General ammunition. The power of my Gatling gun mainly depends on its own tier, the Power Core consumption only affects the quantity of ammunition produced each time.”

“Mm, got it.”

Li Zheng nodded, not probing further.

He had only come into contact with six different guns so far.

A Desert Eagle, with a standard shooting mode needing no ammunition, its power was decent, but it fared poorly against Silver Level creatures unless hitting a vulnerable spot, otherwise the damage was mediocre.

A Silver Level S686 acquired from Lin Fan, with a low shell capacity and slow reload speed, its only advantage was its large attack area.

But as a shotgun type, it naturally had slightly less power compared to other Silver Level firearms.

The main reason Li Zheng didn’t use it was due to its low shell capacity, which was too bothersome.

Keeping it instead of selling it, he had it ready for emergencies in suitable situations someday.

A Bronze Level AK-47, which Li Zheng found lacking since it couldn’t load special ammunition, he didn’t even consider crafting it after learning the schematic.

A Flywheel Hand Cannon, with power dependent on the grade of the shell used, which Li Zheng sold to “Tang Qianzang.”

One more… a melee long spear, its power largely depending on its quality, the user’s own skill, and whether any auxiliary genetic abilities doubled the damage.

Finally, one more… not used for combat, indispensable yet unmentioned.

The battle here ended swiftly, and Zhan Zhouzhou also accelerated her pace, as electrical light burst forth, genetic abilities triggered, a lightning-entwined longsword darted among three monster wolves.

In an instant, the electrical light ceased, Zhan Zhouzhou left calmly.

Behind her, the bodies of the three monster wolves remained standing, suddenly shattering into pieces, scattering entrails all over the ground.

Liu Jiale: “So strong!”

Xiao Siyuan: “Awesome!”

Ye Yuan: “Sister Zhan is number one in the world!”

Li Zheng: “Heh, just average.”

Little Sakura: “Aww. (My master is right!)”

Li Zheng raised his hand to catch the descending Little Sakura, letting it stand back on his shoulder.

The little creature was obsessed with playing with its own tail, standing on Li Zheng’s shoulder, occasionally flicking at the air, making a “pia! pia!” sound.

[Lost Castle, Exploration Progress: 55%]

Li Zheng glanced at the instance information, unexpectedly finding after two battles, the exploration progress had just reached halfway.

This indicated that there’s still a final Boss yet to appear.

However, after ten monster wolves jumped out from the rooftop space, there was no more movement, Li Zheng estimated the final Boss should have another appearance method.

“The exploration progress is only half; it means there’s still a Boss battle ahead.” Zhan Zhouzhou came to the others and directly got to the point, “But the Boss hasn’t appeared until now, which is quite different from yesterday’s Ancient Ruins.

I suspect, this Boss might need us to trigger it ourselves.”

Xiao Siyuan retrieved a telescope from the residence, looked around, and said, “There’s no discovery of stairs or any upper level space.

Strange…

Even though it’s called the Lost Castle, why is there only one hall?”

Li Zheng pondered for a moment and said, “Could it be like the ruins, a giant Boss will appear, tearing off the roof to reveal itself?”

“The same trick used twice?”

Zhan Zhouzhou shook her head, “Unless the Matrix Terminal is a die-hard fan of Saint Seiya, it wouldn’t design such a brain-dead instance.”

“Good gracious.” Liu Jiale laughed, “As a fan of Seiya, I can’t help but call it just that.”

“By the way.”

Xiao Siyuan seemed to remember something, turning to Ye Yuan and asked, “Did you trigger something just now that caused the sudden bat and monster wolf attack?”

Trigger?

Li Zheng and the others were stunned, and then recalled the space releasing bats appeared when they were looking for Ye Yuan who acted alone.

Back then, only she wasn’t with the others, so if anyone triggered the monster attack, it had to be Ye Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan, who was being watched by everyone, was also bewildered: “I… I don’t know either.

I was just thinking of checking for any monsters, so I strolled around the hall.

Then, just as I reached here, monsters were released from the rooftop.”

“Here?”

Li Zheng and the others moved Ye Yuan aside and then noticed that she was standing right in front of a black stone statue.

Looking up, everyone’s skin crawled.

Because the black stone statue at this moment was lowering its head, its eyes like those of a living creature, staring intently at them.
