“It’s dead!”

“Phew! It almost got away!”

After the notification of the Quasi-Boss being killed popped up, most of the players who took part in the battle breathed a sigh of relief.

If it had succeeded in getting to the Chameleon horde, with the recovery rate of a Quasi-Boss, it only needed some time before it could fully recover its HP. By then, it was going to be very difficult to deal with it.

More troublesome was if the Quasi-Boss became frightened after being battered by the players and chose to completely escape and get out of the area, the players would have to bid farewell to a Quasi-Boss Chip that was incredibly valuable.

As such, Feng Luo’s last critical hit shot was incredibly meaningful.

While the players were feeling fortunate and relieved that the Quasi-Boss had died, several players also noticed the very eye-catching golden critical five-digit hit numbers.

“Damn, a critical hit of over 20,000! This damage is quite frightening…” Since most players did not pay attention to the attacks of the battle, and due to the chaotic situation on the battlefield, not many players noticed that Feng Luo’s attack damage was a lot higher than the average player.

However, this attack was the last hit that ended the Quasi-Boss’ life. Moreover, and was the moment when most players had just recovered their eyesight from the blinding explosion and had just shifted their gaze towards that spot. As such, the last damage number was noticed by quite a number of players.

Someone took a deep breath and could not help but say, “It is only a double damage critical hit. This means that even if it weren’t a critical hit, the damage number would still be over 10,000. This is a Level 70 Quasi-Boss after all; although its HP isn’t high, its defense isn’t weak. Theoretically speaking, if this shot were to hit a Light Armor Warrior fully equipped in Rare Grade items, there is still a high chance for it to deal a one-hit kill.”

As top-class players, most of their first instincts after witnessing the damage was not to consider how much damage it did on the monster and how useful it could be for them when farming monsters; instead, their thoughts immediately went towards considering what the result would be if the shot had hit their bodies instead.

So, what was the result?

Apart from a few warrior players equipped with Legendary Grade defensive gears still looking confident; the rest, including most if not all of the glass cannon professions, seemed more worried than delighted when a Sniper teammate possessing the ability to one-shot them existed.

A Manipulator wearing a September Guild badge on his chest stared at the Wings of Death sniper rifle that had a unique look that Feng Luo was holding and said, “Could it be a completed Legendary Grade sniper rifle?”

“Not likely. Although the attack power of a Legendary Grade sniper rifle is high, the damage shouldn’t be that much higher than a normal sniper rifle. His scope is clearly not from the same set as the other parts of his rifle. There is no way it is a complete Legendary Grade weapon.” Compared to the Manipulator, sniper players were a lot more knowledgeable when it came to the same profession.

“It should be his talent. Perhaps this guy has a critical strike talent bonus… Or maybe it is a rare skill.” Beside the Manipulator, the person regarded as “War’s number one Sniper” – Invikill, who was also wearing the September Guild badge on his chest, spoke as he shook his head.

Invikill was certain was that the sniper rifle he was holding was the only completed Level 50 Legendary Grade sniper rifle in the entirety of Storm City.

It was something that the September Guild paid a large price to get their hands on.

Sniper rifles had multiple components. Compared to an alloy sword, which was typically a single-part weapon, the chances of completing it as a set were a lot lower.

If it were not for the fact that the September Guild wanted to make him a trump card capable of competing against Nine-Star Guild’s Sword Ki Long River, the September Guild would probably not have paid so much to complete a Legendary Grade sniper rifle set.

Of course, as he was the “Number One Sniper in War,” Invikill’s face had stiffened after witnessing Feng Luo’s accuracy and damage. His grip on his Legendary Grade sniper rifle tightened.

…

“We actually killed it. Did it drop a Chip?” While many players paid attention to Feng Luo’s amazing attack damage, more people were more concerned about the Quasi-Boss Hypertoxic Chameleon that they had just killed.

The moment it died, its tiny transparent body that was only one foot in size, dropped a bunch of items on the ground. There were crystals, equipment, rare materials, consumables…

These were decent items; however, an inconspicuous Chip that was about the size of a fingernail had instantly attracted the attention of all those who were looking.

“A Chip really dropped!” Words were unnecessary. Everyone who saw knew what it was.

A Quasi-Boss Chip. It was one of the objectives of most players who took part in this event.

While the Quasi-Boss dropped the Chip that everyone was hoping for, it was impossible for them to pick it up at that moment.

The moment the Quasi-Boss was killed, the Chameleon horde on the hamada had gone berserk. Since they did not have enough firepower support, the outermost defensive line formed by the warrior players was broken through, and a few warrior groups had white lights flashing by.

A large horde of Hyptertoxic Chameleons completely occupied the area around the Quasi-Boss’ corpse after they broke through the defensive line. They began a frenzy and continued to attack the players.

At that moment, even if the players wanted to pick up the loot, it was impossible. Their priority was to deal with all of the high-level monsters in front of them.

“Warriors, get back into defensive positions! Get back! Water Manipulators, prepare…”

“Boom, boom…”

“Ta, ta, ta…”

Amidst Frontline Command’s desperate shouts that caused his voice to go hoarse, bullets and skills were released. The battlefield on the hamada was finally reaching the fiercest stage.

Without the Quasi-Boss causing havoc in the midst of it all, apart from the Commander Grade Chameleons, none of the other Chameleons were much of a threat to the players.

After reorganizing their formation and with new commands issued, the situation was under control before long, and it quickly became one-sided.

“Boom!”

After three minutes, as the last Level 65 Commander Grade Hypertoxic Chameleon that was a threat to the players fell, the battle finally entered the final stage.

The wide hamada was filled with the corpses of Hypertoxic Chameleons as well as an endless amount of glowing battle loot.

In particular, the area around the Quasi-Boss Hypertoxic Chameleon was the place where most of the last Hypertoxic Chameleons gathered. The location was completely covered in battle loot that was emanating glowing white light. Amidst all the glowing lights, there were over a dozen biochips.

“Ta, ta, ta…”

A Scout player continued to fire his submachine gun. After killing the last Elite Grade Hypertoxic Chameleon, he ran over and bent his waist to pick up one of the pet biochips in the area.

“Bang!”

However, the moment his hands touched the biochip, a searing hot sniper bullet brushed past his palm and struck the ground right in front of him.
