Chapter 148: Live Targets

As the situation turned grim by the seconds, with all the Shadow Wolves preparing to retaliate, Xu Feng's expression remained unchanged.

Instead of scolding or even blaming Zhao Kai, he smiled and patted his shoulder.

"You must be wondering how you whiffed when your scope was on it, right?" Xu Feng questioned.

Silent, Zhao Kai avoided eye contact briefly and slowly nodded his head.

He had ensured everything was spot on before squeezing the trigger to fire. Yet the outcome turned out completely away from his expectations.

Seeing his distressed state which looked no different than a person who was abandoned, Xu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Your aim was right on point, but the reason why you missed it is because you failed to calculate one factor." Xu Feng commented.

"One factor?"

Zhao Kai raised an eyebrow, his expression a mixture of doubt and confusion.

"Yes, the most crucial factor to be precise." Xu Feng shook his head and continued, "A live target is different from an immobile target. An immobile target would remain still no matter what, whereas a live target is movable."

As if a thunderbolt had struck upon him, Zhao Kai finally realized where it had gone wrong.

It wasn't the fact that he failed to aim and angle his gun properly, but it was the fact that he didn't calculate the supposed leader might dodge from instinct.

Thus, the first shot missed narrowly, and the second shot was a complete miss because the enemy had already been alerted and ready for it.

Instead of thinking about adjusting it, he pathetically and foolishly continued to fire, triggering every aggro on him.

"What should we do now, Feng?" Zhao Kai smiled bitterly.

"It's not bad for your first experience already." Right at this time, Xu Feng suddenly said and grabbed Zhao Kai's clothes as he pulled him behind.

With Zhao Kai now pulled behind him, Xu Feng was now facing the aggro.

Unlike the anxiety-filled Zhao Kai, who had never dealt with such a situation, Xu Feng remained calm. He adjusted his glasses, creating a sharp glint as the light caught the lenses.

"Watch carefully how a Healer can also fight," Xu Feng advised, his tone steady and composed.

Taking a step forward, he proceeded to buff himself with a swift incantation.

With the incantation, a faint glow enveloped his body as he dashed forward. His target: the supposed leader of the pack.

Meanwhile, the leader, though disoriented by the drugs, howled ferociously at Xu Feng, baring his fangs and bracing himself for a clash. Its eyes were somewhat unfocused, but it was still burned with a primal rage and determination.

"Keep in mind that most monster attacks have a pattern, and if you can determine them early. You can easily dodge their attack, even if they look threatening." Xu Feng commented, giving more hints to Zhao Kai.

At the same time, he moved with precision and timely dodged an awkward swipe from the leader's massive paw.

Normally, such an attack would be difficult to avoid, but thanks to the drug, its balance was compromised, allowing him a much easier time to calculate.

However, there was no time to relax, given the other wolves joined in with their aggressive attack, pouncing toward Xu Feng without care.

"FENG!"

Zhao Kai called out in panic, trying to fix his gun position to assist in the background. Alas, it was just a pity that some wolves managed to sneak up on him when he was distracted by Xu Feng's actions.

"Get off me!" Zhao Kai clenched his fist and tanked the strike before retaliating. His health points subsequently decreased and he could feel some pain in his lower chest.

The pain tolerance in the Divine World was set on a scale that would not really cause players to feel like they're dying. But it was set enough to make the players feel a small percentage of the actual sensation of the pain if it actually happened in real life.
