Da-da-da~
The sound of gunfire rang out continuously as bullets spewed from the assault rifles Tao Yu dual-wielded, splashing blood plasma from the aliens that reared their heads in front.
In the dense jungle ahead, shadows occasionally flickered, as if the rustling of leaves surrounded them from all sides.
Amidst the leaves and behind the treetops, those dangerous and cunning figures lurked, their numbers definitely exceeding ten!
The aliens, facing the barrage from regular assault rifles, showed a considerable resistance, even though Tao Yu possessed "Intuitive Shooting".
Without the need for ballistic correction, he still scored highly accurate critical hits, but it took an average of ten bullets to take down one alien!
The continuous fire from the two assault rifles could not completely stop the aliens' approach.
By Tao Yu's side, Cao Shaolin and Wino stood guard like mighty generals, while Little Black lay in wait on a tree branch.
Whoosh~
With an explosive leap from Cao Shaolin, he shot forward like a cannonball and collided with an alien that had rushed through the barrage.
The immense force instantly burst the unsuspecting alien!
Acid blood splattered!
But in the next instant, another alien pounced on Cao Shaolin from behind, who, relying on his own dexterity, began to grapple with it, entwined in close quarters combat.
Zombies were thick-skinned and immensely strong but moved rather rigidly in detail.
Conversely, the aliens had weapons all over their bodies and moved nimbly, but they also had difficulty handling the zombies.
It seemed like an equal match.
With Wino's zombie entering the fray and getting tied up by another two aliens,
the protection around Tao Yu greatly diminished, prompting the forest aliens to go all out and fully reveal themselves.
What initially appeared to be just enough to create the illusion that Tao Yu could handle was actually a façade for many more behind the scenes!
"I've seen this scenario before."
With a light chuckle, Tao Yu released the assault rifles that had run out of bullets and casually drew the AT200, pulled the grenade pin, and squeezed the trigger.
Boom~
An explosion erupted from the front, almost simultaneously shredding two aliens.
Then, with a shadowy figure, an ink-like darkness spread along Tao Yu's own shadow and coated the gun.
.net
Bullets imbued with the power of Shadow Force burst from the chamber one after another!
Tao Yu couldn't help but feel speechless; in terms of stats, his two zombies absolutely overpowered the regular aliens, but their rigid movements had them ensnared.
"Relying on their thick skin and massive strength, they make excellent tanks for delaying the enemy, especially when they metamorphose unexpectedly. But without metamorphosis, their lack of dexterity is indeed a headache..."
Previously, among the Heretic God Followers, there was a capable one who directly lost his head to a bite under metamorphosis.
Without metamorphosis, they were quite ordinary. After all, Tao Yu himself had initially killed zombies by leveraging his dexterity and burst advantage. If they didn't have that weakness, he might have ended up on the ground himself.
It seemed that this creature could hold its own against strong opponents, but against not-so-strong but agile enemies, it could only manage to hold them off.
"This must be a trap specially set up by the aliens. No idea how many Pioneers got caught."
Tao Yu released Wino and Cao Shaolin, letting them work with Little Black to search the bodies.
Aliens are not 'automatically refreshed' monsters; they are cunning creatures.
In the three days that Tao Yu let loose, he only found a few scrawny cats.
And it was likely that those few were just bait, and now stepping into the trap, they faced an ambush.
A rough look showed about thirty or forty regular aliens and one Python alien – quite a formidable lineup.
All around, the sizzling sound of the acid blood and its various pungent stenches filled the air.
"With rewards included, the price now should be over ten thousand Yuan Force, right? Selling them should just about cover the Deification of Bullet Time, although I can't squeeze out all the Yuan Force. Need to save up a bit more."
While Little Black and the others were collecting the corpses, Tao Yu also approached the Python alien, pulling out its huge jaw which was concentrated with Yuan Force.
At over a hundred Yuan Force, it was five or six times more than a regular alien.
However, Tao Yu did not absorb the jaw to acquire new Skills.
"According to updated intelligence, this jaw could possibly grant the 'Ambush - Alien' Skill. Its intrinsic value alone is over two thousand, and even a quick sale at a discounted price would be at least one thousand five hundred, with a kill reward of five hundred."
Python aliens were not unique; there were even some casually killed by the siblings, so the intelligence was pretty comprehensive.
Since it was a redundant skill, Tao Yu certainly wouldn't waste it – nearly two thousand Yuan Force in profit!
"Although there wasn't much harvest in the first three days, if every three days brings this much, then the earnings are really not bad. But it's a pity there's only so much I can carry, it's getting hard to fit any more."
The mouths of the aliens were manageable since they were relatively small, but the alien tails where Yuan Force was more concentrated took up too much space.
Over there, Little Black, Wino, and Cao Shaolin were all fully laden, as carrying too much could impair their movements.
"I can tame a few more aliens temporarily to act as porters. If it's just for a short time, adding four or five won't affect daily life too much. I hope to strike lucky and find a Queen to try it out..."
Tao Yu started to think about increasing the number of porters.
"Panda has been pretty good too, giving me advance payment before time."
Thanks to the rewards from the wealthy lady, the time for the Deification of his talent could be significantly shortened. Also, because she took him home for a trip, Tao Yu reckoned he almost had enough money saved, so he specifically sought out Panda to get the second month's dividend in advance.
Originally, he had planned it would take at least a month to gather enough for the Deification of Bullet Time; there was no doubt it had been significantly expedited...
