Chapter 133: Magnetic Weapon, Solo-killing King-level Giant Beast (II)

The five consecutive shots were fired so rapidly that their explosions blurred together into one continuous sound. The powerful reactive force stirred up a strong wind, blowing her hair around.

At the same time, over a thousand meters away, a thick cement wall, covered in a layer of mutated beast scales, was shrouded in smoke from the shots.

When the smoke cleared, Chen Chu could clearly see five fist-sized holes pierced all the way through the scales, straight into the cement.

Such terrifying penetrating power. Even a Fourth Heavenly Realm cultivator’s true power might not be able to withstand it, let alone a level 4 mutated beast, no matter how thick their skin was.

On top of that, there was the initial velocity, nearly four times the speed of sound. Even if Chen Chu could sense danger in advance, there was still a risk of getting hit by this if he was even a fraction of a second too slow.

This was the power of modern weapons. Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be able to withstand a single shot even after years of practice.

Noticing Chen Chu's surprise, the girl pursed her lips and chuckled, her crescent-shaped eyes showing a faint sense of pride, like a little girl showing off her toy to a friend.

"That was an armor-piercing bullet aimed for penetration. Next up is the high-explosive incendiary bullet for firepower suppression."

As she spoke, Luo Fei pressed ten thicker and longer bullets into the magazine that had been prepared on the platform, clicking it shut. Then, she aimed the sniper rifle slightly and looked through the scope.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!

A hillside over a kilometer away instantly erupted, the raging explosion almost engulfing a radius of dozens of meters, with soil and flames flying everywhere.

After burning for ten minutes, the flames slowly died out, revealing ten large pits nearly 3 meters in diameter on the hillside.

Even though it was just a sniper explosive, its power was clearly comparable to that of artillery shells. Then again, with a caliber of 28 mm, there was hardly any difference from artillery.

This instantaneous firepower was enough to provide a strong suppression against enemies and support to teammates, especially with sufficient ammunition.

After firing ten consecutive high-explosive shells, Luo Fei had only been pushed back a meter, sliding along the ground. She had had to use some of her true power to keep herself steady, but both the rifle and she herself were still in good condition, able to provide continuous suppression.

"How's that?" The girl looked at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu nodded. "The single-target attack power is very strong, and the firepower is formidable, but your close quarter combat skills are still too weak. If a Phantom Leopard manages to sneak within a hundred meters of you, you might not even be able to run away."

The Phantom Leopard was an extremely agile type of mutated beast. Although it was only at level 3, its innate ability gave it an explosive speed that could reach almost supersonic levels.

"It’s powered using crystal energy, rather than electromagnetic, and you activate it by channeling your true power through special runes. It can instantly unleash a muzzle velocity of 3500 meters per second.

"The bullets it uses are tungsten armor-piercing bullets, which are coated with a sub-film that reduces resistance to transcendent energy. These can achieve terrifying penetration at ten times the speed of sound."

As she talked, the crystal on the rifle lit up. Its energy was drawn out in large quantities and directed into the rifle, activating all of the runes.

Buzz!

As it was charging, the rifle emitted a buzzing noise, and an astonishingly dangerous aura permeated from the blackened muzzle.

Zoom!

There was a small sound, and even with Chen Chu's terrifying eyesight, he only saw the flash of an afterimage. A black dot appeared on a small hill over 1500 meters away. With that single shot, the soil on the small hill had been directly pierced through, leaving a hole the size of a human head about twenty meters deep.

Although it didn’t look like much at first, the terrifying penetration power displayed made Chen Chu feel that, even if he were wearing battle armor with Durability +10, not even he would be able to withstand it. He would be torn apart by a single shot.

"According to my aunt, even an ordinary level 5 mutated beast could be killed with this shot," Luo Fei said as she put down the rifle.

"However, the weakness is also very obvious: it has too long a wind-up time, and the dangerous aura it emits is too strong, making it easy for cultivators and mutated beasts to perceive it. It can only be used to shoot fixed targets... and it’s also pouring money down the drain."

When she said that, Chen Chu looked back down to the crystal on the rifle’s barrel and noticed that its energy had been completely depleted, meaning that the shot just now had cost 15 contribution points.

He didn’t know the value of the bullet, but it undoubtedly added a huge amount on top. Chen Chu couldn't help but nod in amazement. "It costs a lot of money, but the power is huge."

Next, she introduced Chen Chu to some other bullet effects and even let him try shooting himself.

However, after firing roughly ten shots, he stopped playing. It was too expensive; according to Luo Fei, a single live Black Bone Armor-piercing Bullet cost a thousand yuan, equivalent to 1 contribution point according to current conversion rates.

It wasn't until then that Chen Chu realized how much of a spendthrift Luo Fei actually was. According to her, at her aunt’s request, she had to train for an hour every day, shooting over a hundred training bullets of armor-piercing, incendiary, and high-explosive type.

Even though her marksmanship was perfect within a kilometer, she still had to train every day to maintain her feel for the gun. Training bullets were cheaper, but she was still spending the equivalent of tens of thousands of yuan every day.

While she felt that this behavior was wasteful, she also knew that it was necessary. Everything was for the pursuit of the instinct her aunt mentioned, so that when she reached her peak in cultivation, she could absolutely hit any target.

An instinct similar to Chen Chu's intuition, but different. It was all quite complex.
