Chapter 43

The giant beast was like a gorilla. It walked on two legs, and the six blood-red eyes on its forehead were terrifying. Its body was covered in thick fur, and its abdomen and back were covered with a layer of black scales. One could tell that its defense was absolutely terrifying.

The giant beast's sense of smell was very sensitive, and it quickly followed the scent toward the big tree where the two were hiding.

Gu Ding clenched his fists while Lilliath closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing rhythm, trying to slow down her heartbeat.

One step, two steps, three steps …

The giant beast's footsteps were getting closer and closer. When it reached the tree where the two of them were hiding, it stopped and looked around. Then, it let out an angry roar, as if it did not discover where the two of them were hiding.

Just as the two were slightly relieved, the giant beast suddenly went berserk and violently bombarded the surrounding trees. Although it did not know the exact location of the other party's hiding place, it could tell from the scent that the opponent who had just killed its food was still in the forest. Therefore, it adopted the stupidest method, which was to break all the surrounding trees to force its opponent to show itself.

"Oh no!" The surrounding trees collapsed in just a few seconds, and the behemoth's fist also bombarded the largest tree. The tree trunk shook violently under the blow, and the two were almost thrown off.

Seeing that a tree was still intact after its attack, the giant beast became even angrier and attacked the giant tree wildly.

"Run!" Gu Ding growled, grabbed Lilliath's wrist, and jumped down from the big tree, running deep into the forest.

When the giant beast saw the two of them, it stopped attacking the trees and chased after them. Each step it took covered a great distance. Gu Ding used all his strength, but the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

At that moment, Lilliath broke free from Gu Ding's grip, and Firearm Combat Armor turned into a huge black barrel under her control. She quickly took out a shell the size of an adult's fist from her Inventory and stuffed it into the magazine. Suddenly, she turned around, aimed the barrel in the direction of the giant beast, and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!" A violent explosion shook the entire forest as the fierce shell bombarded the eye on the giant beast's forehead. Lilliath's thin figure stood firmly in place, and her eyes were hot and calm.

After the shot, she did not run away. Instead, she took out a second bullet and stuffed it into the magazine. The two meter long black cannon was steadily carried on her shoulder. Her eyes were fixed on the giant beast's silhouette in the flying dust.

"I've said it before. She's a very good gunner. You've hit the jackpot this time!" Neptune said again after seeing the scene.

Gu Ding smiled and did not respond to Neptune's words. He stopped in his tracks and focused on adjusting his physical condition. A Rank 3 Gene Body would not be killed so easily. Even if Liliath used a nuclear sniper cannon, it could only cause superficial wounds to a Rank 3 Gene Body. It would be difficult to kill it. Therefore, he still had to rely on himself to fight the next battle, and Lilliath could only assist him.

The mainstream Gunmasters were mainly divided into two schools. One was the violent crushing style, and the other was the team support style.

The so-called violent crushing style used sophisticated firearms, dense artillery fire, and bullets that restrained the opponent's ability to completely crush the opponent so that the opponent could not fight back. The users of this style were generally people from wealthy families because the firearms themselves were expensive. Coupled with the consumption of different kinds of bullets, it was a huge expense.

The team support style, on the other hand, started as a poor style. It was used by people who could not afford good firearms and enough bullets. Due to the lack of resources, every bullet they had had had to be used in the most important position. Therefore, their responsibility in the team was not to kill, but to contain and assist. They used bullets to block the opponent's movements so that the opponent could not exert their full strength, and assisted the other members to kill the opponent. Of course, this style had high requirements for the gunmaster. It required amazing prediction and calculation skills to be able to calculate the opponent's attack trajectory, timing, and predict the opponent's movements.

Gu Ding knew that Liliath was an excellent gunner, but so far, all she had done was crush her opponents with brute force. Whether she could use the team support style to contain the opponent would be the key to victory in this battle.

Shrouded in dust, the huge black shadow stood up shakily and then let out an angry roar. The ear-piercing scream made Gu Ding frown and caused the other monsters around them to flee into the distance.

The giant beast suddenly burst out of the dust and rushed toward the two of them. It could be seen that three of the eyes on its forehead had been destroyed.

Liliath's face was calm. She jumped up and fired another shot. Her body retreated quickly with the recoil of the shot. She knew that the giant beast had just pounced on her.

"Boom!" The shot was blocked by the giant beast's palm this time. It smiled mockingly at Liliath. Its body only paused for a moment before it immediately pounced on Liliath. As for Gu Ding, he was completely ignored.

"This giant beast seems to have retained a certain degree of intelligence," Neptune made a judgment based on the other party's reaction.

At the same time, Gu Ding adjusted his body to the state of using Ultimate Arts Level 2. As a Rank 1 Gene Body, using Ultimate Arts Level 2 was already an overload. However, Gu Ding had no choice. He had to pay a price to kill his opponent this time. Based on the giant beast's current condition, Ultimate Arts Level 2 might not be able to harm it.

Gu Ding took a Silent Step and quietly appeared on top of the giant beast's head. His Phantom Foot carried a lot of power as it bombarded the giant beast's eyes.

However, he was soon noticed by the giant beast. It was angry at Gu Ding's provocation and waved its arms to grab Gu Ding. Gu Ding withdrew his attack and dodged the attack with a Silent Step.

The giant beast's attention was finally attracted by him. Liliath, who was next to him, seemed to realize something. The Firearm Combat Armor in her hand changed again and was replaced with a long and thick sniper rifle. It was longer and thicker than the first time Gu Ding saw it. She quickly reloaded the rifle and pressed the butt of the rifle against her shoulder. She aimed at the giant beast's eyes again but did not shoot immediately.

As the giant beast chased after Gu Ding, she finally found an opportunity and pressed the trigger hard.

After being attacked, the giant beast let out a wail. It had lost another eye. This made it furious and it attacked Gu Ding even more crazily.

Even Gu Ding, who had Silent Step, could only try his best to dodge his opponent's attacks. In less than two to three minutes, Gu Ding had suffered several attacks. His Ultimate Arts Level 2 Righteous Body was on the verge of collapse. Every time he was attacked, his body felt like it had been struck by lightning.

"Ultimate Arts Level 2 can't take it anymore. I have to use Level 3!" Although Gu Ding knew that using Level 3 would have serious consequences on his body, it was better than being killed by this monster.

At that moment, Liliath found her opponent's weakness again and hit one of its eyes. At this point, the six-eyed giant beast only had one eye left.
