Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 48 Legion's Blade
I consciously returned to my room and didn't come out again that night.

At nine o'clock, Zhang Ruolin, who was in the bar, seemed to be bored and sent me a message, saying, "How about we go to Dawn Plains to level up tomorrow? The monsters in the current version of Dawn Plains are level 15-25. We can go to the level 25 area. I'll call Xiaobai and Axe. It's been a long time since the four of us from the Heaven and Earth Society team have gotten together."

"Row!"

I immediately agreed.

So, he asked Lu Xiaobei for leave so she could cover his shift. Although she was unhappy, she agreed.

……

morning.

After leaving the room, I was about to wash up when I noticed that my neighbor next door had also gotten up and was tidying up her room. Her bag and documents were piled on the living room table, along with her work badge.

I glanced at her; the photo on her name tag showed her wearing work clothes, a black women's jacket and a white shirt, with long hair, looking very pretty overall. Next to the photo were her name and job title.

Lin Qingying.

Internship at Xidong Electrical Appliance City.

I felt relieved. Xidong Electrical Appliance City is very close to here, only about a five or six-minute drive away. No wonder she lives here; it's because it's close.

Without thinking too much, I quickly finished washing up.

After leaving, I bought breakfast and lunch downstairs, and then headed to the player black market.

They had already finished breakfast when they arrived at the black market. After waiting for a while in front of the phase teleportation array, Zhang Ruolin and the others arrived.

She and Xiaobai have both reached level 20 and completed the task of advancing to the second tier, while Axe is still at level 19 and has not yet entered the second tier sequence, presumably because gene warriors level up relatively slowly in the early stages.

"Ding Han!"

Axe walked over with a smile: "Long time no see. When we meet again, you're already in the top three of the regional rankings. Awesome!"

"It was just a fluke."

I smiled and asked, "Axe, where have you been busy these days?"

"I've been busy with nothing and fallen behind in my level."

"Let's go, let's catch up on levels today, level 20 is a piece of cake!"

"Ok!"

The group paid the teleportation fee and then stepped into the teleportation array.

This is my second time visiting Dawn Plains, but I didn't expect it to be quite different from last time. There's even a small market outside the teleportation array!

"All the alien species and beasts near the teleportation array have long been killed."

Zhang Ruolin said, "We need to rent a car. You can rent one at the market over there. It's a beat-up pickup truck, and the rental fee is 500 yuan per day, which is quite cheap and affordable."

"That's true, let's rent it!"

The group quickly agreed and immediately rented a pickup truck that was falling apart everywhere. Axe drove the truck, Xiaobai sat in the passenger seat, and Zhang Ruolin and I sat in the open cargo bed in the back, holding guns.

The car drove north for dozens of miles before the road began to be gradually overgrown with weeds.

"Be careful!"

Zhang Ruolin suddenly pointed into the distance: "There's something over there!"

"It's a mutant! Be careful!"

Xiao Bai quickly issued a warning.

Sure enough, crawlers and devourers kept rushing out of the bushes not far away. They were all Tier 1 alien species, level 25 elite monsters. Judging from the number, there were at least thirty of them!

"Damn, so many!?" Axe exclaimed in surprise.

I didn't say anything, I just picked up the Roarer and aimed, then started pulling the trigger and firing in bursts. With the rhythmic "bang bang bang" of the bursts, one alien after another fell to the ground, their blood splattering everywhere.

Zhang Ruolin was also holding a blue submachine gun, which had a larger caliber and stronger firepower, but its rate of fire was a bit lower, and her basic shooting skills were not maxed out, so her output efficiency at the same distance was much worse than mine.

"Axe, don't stop the car! Take them with you and fly them like kites. Kill them all first!" I shouted.

"okay!"

With a throttle of his foot, the pickup truck began to drift, while Zhang Ruolin and I continued to aim and fire, killing dozens of alien creatures in just a few minutes!

After the pickup truck came to a stop, Axe stepped out, holding a submachine gun: "Ding Han, Ruolin, your firepower is truly insane! You killed so many mutants so quickly!"

Zhang Ruolin laughed and said, "I'm just borrowing the tiger's might. The one with the real firepower is Ding Han. His accuracy and headshot rate are terrifying!"

"Let's go."

I switched to a full magazine and said, "There should be quite a few mutants in this wilderness. Since we've already alerted one group, the rest should soon be coming after us by the scent. We need to keep changing positions to avoid being wiped out by a large group of mutants."

"That makes sense..."

Axe nodded in deep agreement: "Let's go."

So the group wandered the boundless wilderness, hunting only those huddled together in groups of twenty or so alien species, thus continuously increasing their experience points.

……

Before we knew it, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was a little tired.

After consuming over 3000 bullets, I increased my experience points to level 22 at 97%. With a little more practice, I can reach level 23!
But at that moment, a blood-red light suddenly flashed on the minimap.

"Something's coming!"

Zhang Ruolin suddenly turned around and looked at the commotion in the distance through the sniper rifle scope. She saw a group of crawlers rushing over with their bodies hunched over, numbering about 100. In addition, there was a giant creature about three meters tall among the crawlers that was also rushing over!

Its back was bulging into a huge abscess, and its whole body reeked of stench; it was actually a mutated beast!

"Watch out, it's the BOSS!"

Zhang Ruolin immediately turned around and asked, "What do we do?" "Full power!"

I said in a deep voice, "Try to clear out all the crawlers before making contact with the BOSS. After we make contact with the BOSS, Ruolin will hold the line while the rest of you attack when you have the chance. When Ruolin's health bar drops to half, she should immediately use her ultimate to charge and retreat. I will take over the BOSS!"

"it is good!"

"There are too many..."

Xiao Bai was somewhat desperate, looking at the dense swarm of crawlers. With the firepower of the four of us, we really couldn't kill them all in a short time.

"Don't be afraid!"

After I shot down more than ten crawlers with my Wind Whisperer, just as they rushed within 500 meters of us, I suddenly switched to my primary weapon, pulled out a huge thing from my extradimensional storage space, and slung it over my shoulder—

RPG-32!

"I rely on!"

The axe was so frightened he almost jumped up.

"Is this an RPG?!"

Xiao Bai was dumbfounded: "Ding Han, where did you get this from...?"

"They snatched it from the Dark Tide forces!"

I focused intently on the position where the crawlers were most concentrated, then used up one of my most precious grenades and fired!
"Shua~~~"

The grenade flew out with a flash of fire, soaring straight through the air and exploding directly among the dense cluster of crawlers, followed by a flurry of damage numbers flying up—

"4882!"

"5012!"

"4900!"

"5091!"

"4999!"

……

In the flames, an entire group of crawlers was instantly wiped out; at least 30 crawlers died on the spot!
That leaves 50+ crawlers, which our squad should be able to handle without conserving ammo!
Actually, I could have fired another one, but grenades are too precious to use!

Switch to the submachine gun and keep firing in bursts!

So, in the wilderness, the four of them stood in a line, all in a firing position, constantly calling out to the crawlers who rushed over, and crawlers kept rolling on the ground!
A few seconds later, only seven or eight crawlers remained, along with the BOSS, who charged forward.

"Be careful!"

I successfully switched magazines and continued firing in bursts. At the same time, I used a step slash to dodge a crawler's attack. Xiaobai provided cover while his green submachine gun spitted fire wildly.

Zhang Ruolin raised her shield and blocked the level 25 mutated dire wolf BOSS!

After continuously firing and killing the last creeper, I didn't even have time to check the BOSS's stats. I immediately switched to a full magazine and started firing relentlessly at the mutated dire wolf's head from the side!
The magazine was emptied within 4 seconds, and the mutated dire wolf's health bar dropped by about 25% instantly.

"Click~~~"

Just then, its teeth pierced through Zhang Ruolin's heavy shield, and then its mouth suddenly opened, its head splitting into three mouthparts. Tentacles with barbs rose into the air and headed straight for Zhang Ruolin!

For a moment, even a seasoned veteran like Zhang Ruolin was stunned into place; the scene before her was too frightening!
"run!"

I suddenly unleashed a burst of energy, instantly passing through the BOSS's body and stunning it. At the same time, I raised my hand and consumed 20 points of Yuan Power to perform a Heavenly Creation!
"Shh!"

A touch of gold seeped into the head of the mutated dire wolf, and then its defenses crumbled from the inside out. Immediately, many golden cracks appeared on the dire wolf's body, and its armor was greatly reduced!
Without the slightest hesitation, I changed to a new magazine and fired another burst.

Unfortunately, gun damage is fixed based on firepower, and the bonus from the "Craftsmanship" system is not high.

Meanwhile, Xiaobai and Axe fired wildly, while Zhang Ruolin unleashed a burst of energy, stunning the BOSS a second time.

It's definitely much faster when four people fight together!

With the magazine empty, and the final few seconds of the Heavenly Craftsmanship skill being weakened the most, I immediately switched to the Vanguard Bee Sting and attacked from the side. Sword light danced wildly, and a barrage of normal attacks, Dragon Blade, and Blood Drain Frenzy landed on the BOSS.

Finally, the mutated dire wolf let out a mournful howl, its last health bar emptied, and it collapsed limply to the ground!
[Congratulations! You have defeated the Mutant Dire Wolf (Blue Boss) and obtained the item: 1 Boss Ability Crystal!]

[Battle Notification: You have defeated the 'Mutant Dire Wolf' (Blue BOSS), gaining 124536 character experience points. You also gained 62268 experience points through extraction at the Elemental Furnace!]

……

"Cool!"

Axe, holding a submachine gun with a red-hot muzzle, couldn't help but laugh: "Damn, killing monsters with Ding Han is really fun. Last time when I went out to kill aliens with a few noobs, a Devourer almost wiped us all out. It was fucking outrageous!"

I was stunned: "That's outrageous!"

Zhang Ruolin and Ling Baiwei covered their mouths and chuckled.

"How was the harvest? Did you get all the BOSS power crystals?"

"That's definitely possible."

"Open it and take a look!"

The next moment, I opened the BOSS Ability Crystal I had obtained, and a rather pleasant notification rang in my ears:

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Legion Blade] (Quality: Blue)!

……

"Om~~"

My mind went blank for a moment, then I was overjoyed!

It's a blue monomolecular sword, and a second-tier one at that! The blue melee weapon has finally arrived!
