Chapter 105: So concerned about a small BOSS!?
"Fire!"
After a while, the Moon Rabbit soldiers seemed to have received some kind of instruction and stopped waiting. They chose to launch an attack very decisively, and the cannon fire instantly enveloped this place.
The monster on the other side didn't want to show weakness either, having been slapped in the face, what's it doing standing there stupidly!?
Go for it!
Nine lives have fully experienced what it means to be undisciplined and unorganized. These monsters charge forward with their bodies reacting faster than their brains, the strong ones are always at the front, while the weak ones refuse to fall behind, is this a rush to send themselves to death?
"Alright, I suppose it's because I'm confident in my own abilities. The first wave of attacks didn't result in many injured youkai, and those moon rabbit soldiers were probably just probing us anyway. I considered taking out the high-energy beam gun, but thought better of it and put the sealed card away again. Let's wait for now, or we might be suspected of being spies and things could get out of hand."
The first wave of attack did not produce any substantial effect, and those rabbits began to come up with other countermeasures, changing bullets.
Their movements were rational and orderly, but Jiǔ Mìng, who had been observing them, noticed something: "New recruits?"
"It's probably just a test of strength." Yakumo Yukari also didn't make any further moves, for now it was just a small fry showdown, and the main forces from the opponent's side, Tsukuyomi no Miko, hadn't appeared yet. If these big shots took action, wouldn't that mean they'd already lost the initiative from the start?
It had just opened, and the boss had already made a move. After that, waiting for the opponent's military strength to increase was useless. Jiǔ Mìng (Nine Lives) glanced around and found that Lumina, from the group of monsters, was nowhere to be seen. Had she sulked and left after suffering an insignificant loss?
Yakumo Yuko had also told him not long ago that if he wanted to leave, he could only wait until the next full moon, and for the remaining time, he would have to stay here. The number of youkai coming here is not small, and of course, Tsukuyomi's side has been occupying the moon for who knows how long, being taken away by a wave of youkai is simply too humiliating.
"Armor-piercing bullets?" Compared to the first wave of attacks, the effect was subtle, but the second attack was unexpected. It directly hit those thick-skinned monsters that were rushing forward, catching them off guard. Their defensive barrier of magical power was actually pierced by those bullets. Although the bullet's power was greatly weakened as a result, this time many monsters were injured.
Even armor-piercing rounds wouldn't be this devastating... Thinking of this, Jiu Ming knocked his own head, no, the world is different, the technological level of Yue Zhi Du is very high, the power of firearms must be very strong. Until now, the Moon Rabbit soldiers have only been using conventional weapons, not only that, but Jiu Ming also noticed that there were many warriors wearing strange armor and wielding cold weapons mixed in with the Moon Rabbits.
They are already gathering in front of the Moon Rabbit soldiers...... White Blade War?
"...should be a combination of close combat and long-range."
"Hey, shopkeeper, can you help me take down those 'tanks'?" The always-silent Yakumo Yukari spoke up. Even if her true intention wasn't to invade, she didn't want the battle to continue like this either. If the moon rabbit really brought out heavy artillery, it would be too much for the youkai side.
Moreover, they cannot afford to lose in a short period of time.
"I'll try my best." He nodded, and Jiǔ Mìng (Nine Lives) left the group of monsters. Here, he didn't want to use his high-energy beam gun in front of all the monsters. The weapons on both sides were too similar, and only Jiǔ Mìng had this kind of weapon on this side. If he used it, he would definitely be maliciously surrounded.
Good grief! Is it also some kind of energy beam cannon?
Found a secluded spot to lie in wait, the nine lives noticed a tank-like war chariot with energy fluctuations gathering at the muzzle. After a moment's thought, it was almost possible to guess the war chariot's attack method - either beam-shaped or energy bullet type, but the power was unknown.
How can a handgun knock down a tank?
Simple, when the tank fires a shell, the moment the bullet is triggered, it accurately goes along the barrel and hits the target. That can probably knock over the tank. Of course, if the shell has been triggered, first consider whether you can survive...
At that time, the chamber pressure surged, and it is estimated that the pistol bullet had just been shot into the barrel when it was blown out by the air in the barrel. Of course... also look at what kind of ammunition the other side used, in short, the probability of doing so is slightly lower.
What if an energy cannon that is gathering energy encounters such a situation?
Taking a slight breath, Jiǔ Mìng raised the gun in his hand. The energy beam that was fired would not be affected by external factors, so as long as he aimed correctly, it would hit its mark. Just as the war chariot finished charging and was about to fire, a pale blue energy attack condensed into a beam, which inconveniently preempted him...
The moon rabbit soldiers around the war chariot immediately realized that something was wrong, "Take cover!!!"
At the moment when the cannon of that chariot burst, a projectile compartment was rapidly ejected. The heavy chariot twisted and deformed from inside to outside, finally producing an extremely intense self-explosion with a loud bang. Fortunately, this chariot seemed to have taken some safety protection measures, and the explosion spread in a inverted conical shape.
The moon rabbit soldiers who were lying on the ground nearby, except for those who were close to the explosion site and were severely injured, could still get up.
This explosion made them dare not to be careless again, and it was also their negligence that Jiǔ Mìng could get away so easily without making any preparations in advance. None of them had anticipated such an unexpected attack, and Jiǔ Mìng didn't even give them a chance to intercept.
No one died...
Through the scope on his gun, Jiǔ Mìng clearly saw a Moon Rabbit soldier rescuing a wounded comrade. These Moon Rabbits' bodies weren't weak and small after all. The powerful explosion could have killed ordinary people in the surrounding area with its shockwave alone, but they were obviously not ordinary people, and even the most severely injured one was only heavily wounded.
The explosion of the war chariot brought a brief chaos to the Moon Rabbit, but it quickly subsided. The vigilance around the remaining war chariots increased significantly, and many war chariots also began to accumulate energy. It was a good idea, as even Nine Lives couldn't possibly take down multiple war chariots at once.
"Did anyone notice that attack just now?" The medic who was treating the wounded started talking about the previous attack. These seriously injured people all suffered severe internal injuries from the shockwave, and without exception, they had all lost their hearing due to serious damage to their eardrums. However, as long as their condition stabilized for now, the research of Tsukino could resolve these hidden dangers.
"It looks like... it doesn't seem to be a youkai's magical attack, but rather some kind of energy-based gunfire."
"Good grief! How could a monster from the surface possibly wield this kind of weapon?"
Rumble...
The explosion that rang out again interrupted the conversation of the Moon Rabbit, and it was clear that another war chariot had been blown up. After the explosion, several different rumbling sounds also rang out, and a fierce fire burst forth among the monster group. The monster Jiu Ming, who was at the center of the explosion, definitely wouldn't survive.
The monsters affected by the explosion are also decorated with colorful streamers... This power is really great!
What?!
He suddenly darted to the side with his ninth life, quickly making several disorderly leaps. Wherever he jumped and moved, a huge cloud of smoke burst out accurately, Ahhh!
Sniper!?!
Still think highly of yourself.
A low murmur, the nine lives that were about to be transferred suddenly felt a sense of something being off, and they fiercely looked towards the places on the ground where the bullets had hit. Amidst the smoke and dust, a large number of electric arcs suddenly emerged, and a sealed card flashed rapidly between his fingers before disappearing again. There was not enough time to retrieve the super-energy crystal.
"Ah!" As the electric arc approached, Jiǔ Mìng stretched out his hand in a seemingly suicidal manner and tore it apart. The snipers in the dark were astonished by this situation, and the consequences of Jiǔ Mìng's suicidal action also left them stunned.
His body somehow didn't allow much electric current to invade, a large amount of electric arcs were isolated outside his palms, as if his hands could grasp these electric arcs.
This is also one of the benefits of having a nine-lives soul body. For energy-based or impact-based attacks, he can make contact with them as if they were physical objects and even block them when exerting force. After all, the soul body is also a kind of energy body in some sense.
A dense network of electric arcs was brutally torn apart by the nine lives, revealing a gaping hole that could accommodate his passage.
"The weapon in his hand... did you guys see it?" The snipers who were chasing after Jiu Ming exchanged words.
"It's clear that this is definitely not a weapon that can be wielded by any ordinary monster on the ground. The model is also an unprecedented type, and its power has already surpassed the standard weapons of the Moon Rabbit soldiers."
Isn't the individual combat weapon inside the Moon Capital not inferior? They thought it was strange, the weapons inside the Moon Capital couldn't possibly flow out no matter what, and even if they were individual combat weapons, they all had confidentiality devices, and changing owners would make them unusable.
If it's said that the people on earth studied, then the gun body that looks very sci-fi also doesn't match this era. Can they really come up with such advanced weapons? Don't be kidding me!
Giving them a thousand years would also be an illusion.
"In short, let's report first and inform others. Isolate him alone and prevent him from returning to the monster camp again."
They soon received orders from above, to increase their numbers and capture them alive! No matter what method was used, it didn't matter if they were crippled, as long as they were alive... At the same time, they also received a very strange order.
If the opponent has any strange cards in their hand, they must be knocked down immediately and absolutely cannot be used.
"This is... not right!" Leaning against a rock, Jiǔ Mìng took a breath and looked around, temporarily shaking off the pursuers to rest for a while. The key was that he had discovered early on that he seemed to be singled out, and as he listened to the distant rumbling sounds, Jiǔ Mìng realized that he was getting farther and farther away from the battlefield.
He wanted to go back, but he couldn't!!!
The rear route has been blocked by those stealthy 'special forces', and every time he wants to find his way back, the sniping intensity will increase a lot. If he tries to force his way through, he'll definitely be killed in the crossfire, and can only retreat further away.
