Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 77 Chasing After the Boss and Shooting

A fire dragon with a broken tail, covered in wounds, flapped its huge wings and soared high in the sky.

Fang Ge finally became a dragon knight in a real sense.

Even so, strictly speaking, he and Jinxi were not riding on the dragon's back.

The two of them simply used grappling hooks to catch the fire dragon's claws, allowing them to glide through the air.

Feeling the strong airflow brushing against his face, Fang Ge could feel a sense of exhilaration even through his armor.

"It seems to have spotted you."

Zhan Lan relayed the latest enemy movements via telepathy.

—Flying so high, above that layer of purple smoke, it was still discovered? That makes sense, after all, this fire dragon also carries the Mad Dragon Virus.

Fang Ge was slightly surprised.

Zhan Lan's mind chains are excellent at dealing with monsters, but they can only control this wounded fire dragon within a radius of two kilometers.

Moreover, the farther the distance, the more difficult it becomes to operate... We are now approaching our limit.

Fortunately, this distance should be enough...

Fang Ge, with his large, silver-plated gun, quietly locked onto his target.

This Black Eclipse Dragon is very likely the target boss of the main quest. Its strength should not be underestimated. We cannot hold back and must strike hard!
It is known that the effective range of the Vascular King is approximately seven kilometers.

Of course, considering that it is a moving target, Fang Ge needs to get even closer to ensure accuracy.

Based on visual estimation, the straight-line distance to that Black Erosion Dragon should be less than three kilometers!
"Activate the auxiliary aiming device."

The moment Fang Ge issued the command, the Mark 5 continuously expanded his field of vision and simultaneously provided a crosshair.

Since the Vein is a frequently shared weapon, every Mark 5 has a Vein King compatible aiming function with Gauss series firearms.

The speedrunners' monkey show is not over yet.

Fang Ge used the Nine Yang True Qi to enhance his eyes.

As golden light radiated from his pupils, his vision was further enhanced. His eyes could now perceive the movements of the black dragon with perfect clarity.

—Does this count as dominating the skies, with enemies groveling at my feet?
As the mastermind behind this beast tide, this Black Devouring Dragon was very vigilant and never personally took to the field.

Furthermore, it must have been familiar with human long-range weapons, and upon realizing that an enemy was approaching, it immediately left the conspicuous cliff and ran to find a place to hide.

—It would be troublesome if it hid in a cave or similar place.

Delay may lead to unforeseen changes; action must be taken when the time is right!
"Imashi!"

Fang Ge shouted, and Jin Xi's Gauss sniper rifle fired instantly.

"Oh!"

A bullet pierced the air at a speed invisible to the naked eye, its target the Black Dragon's head!

The Black Eclipse Dragon's beast-like instincts played a crucial role; as it ran, it protected its two wing claws above its head, seemingly anticipating an attack!

The Gauss sniper rifle was incredibly powerful, piercing horizontally from the right wing claw of the Black Eclipse Dragon, instantly shattering its flesh and bones.

The bullets didn't stop, continuing to narrowly graz its forehead, even destroying one of the antennae on its head used to sense its surroundings!
The bullet, having lost most of its kinetic energy, then slammed into the other side of its body, getting stuck in its other wing!
—With the terrifying power of the Gauss sniper rifle, how come it couldn't be shot through?
Fang Ge didn't expect this shot to kill it outright. But even achieving this result was enough to make one marvel at the hardness of the Black Corrosion Dragon's shell.

Such terrifying physical strength: concrete-like muscles, steel-like bones, plus the defensive power provided by the life energy within the body, the hardness of the body surface is probably no less than that of titanium alloy.

Despite the sudden and devastating blow, the Black Dragon continued its attack. Fang Ge couldn't hear its cries of pain, but he knew it wouldn't be having an easy time.

Strike while the iron is hot! At the very least, deprive it of its ability to fly!
It's important to understand that although the Black Eclipse Dragon, due to its lifestyle, often needs to hide to molt and grow, and usually keeps its head hidden and tail exposed, and doesn't particularly enjoy flying, this doesn't mean it's incapable of flying. On the contrary, its massive, cape-like wings are undoubtedly its most powerful weapons for flight!
Despite his inner musings, the moment the gun fired, Fang Ge had already pulled the trigger on the King of Vascular Veins.

“Da da da da da!!”

Every second, 70,000 tiny bullets, as small as needles, are fired!

Rather than having its limbs and vital organs pierced, the Black Devourer would naturally choose to sacrifice its own [Black Veil].

One second, two seconds!
Those wings became a protective wall, riddling the Vascular King with holes, but most of the bullets got stuck on the wing membranes, successfully protecting its body!
Sensing that its life was severely threatened, the Black Dragon recklessly spread the Mad Dragon Virus from its body!
It acted like a smokescreen, preventing Fang Ge from accurately locating it.

At the same time, its trajectory became more erratic, deliberately dodging Fang Ge's bullets in the smoke.

"Ow!"

At this moment, the fire dragon suddenly roared, which meant that the two of them had left the area that Zhan Lan could cover.

Fang Ge had anticipated this. He released the hook in his hand, used his lightness technique to greatly reduce his weight, and the jets at Mark 5's feet also started working.

He already had a considerable initial velocity, and even if he were to land freely, the horizontal horsepower would not be enough to continue accelerating.

Achieving a gun-tracking accuracy of a few seconds... no problem!
As for the fire dragon that's going berserk in the sky, Jinxi will handle it!

Three seconds, four seconds, five seconds...

As the smoke screen created by the Mad Dragon Virus gradually spread, the bullets fired by the Vascular King increasingly hit empty spaces or insignificant locations.

The autopsy notification from the main god that Fang Ge was hoping for never sounded.

It's unbelievable. Even though it's almost evolved into a legendary ancient dragon, it's still a Black Eclipse Dragon. How can it be so resistant to being shot?

It's impossible for it to shed its skin with the help of external forces, right?

[Participate in defeating the fire dragon to receive 1 D-rank side quest and 1000 reward points]

—It's not the Black Corrosion Dragon... It seems Jinxi has already dealt with that half-dead fire dragon.

Five seconds is still too short...

A vast expanse of purplish-black smoke, along with other monsters that became agitated as a result, plunged the area into extreme chaos.

Fang Ge had to admit that she had lost her goal.

The Black Eclipse Dragon may have taken advantage of the chaos to hide in caves or at the foot of cliffs, making it no longer visible from the sky.

If I had zero-point marksmanship, I might have a chance to take him down...

It's also possible that the power of the Great King of Veins, if it doesn't hit a vital point, cannot kill the opponent.

After all, it is already a large extraordinary creature of the third rank or above. After its transformation, the Heavenly Returning Dragon has reached the peak of the third rank in terms of combat power, making it a mage-like existence!

"Captain, the Mold's nuclear bomb is already on its way... Find a place to hide as soon as possible."

Just as one problem was about to be solved, another arose. Chu Xuan's voice suddenly came through the communicator.

"...Jinxi, let's land first."

Fang Ge glanced worriedly at the location of the mold base and could only suppress his regret at not having done his best.

Regardless, having suffered such a severe injury, even if it were to undergo a forced metamorphosis, it would never become a fully healthy Tenkai Dragon.

"Master, the monsters below are charging at us!"
