Chapter 1154: Trapped Beast
The Ant King came out of the flames, but he didn't look very good, to put it mildly.
Most of the Ant King's tail disappeared due to Smoker's attack. With its tail, it often attacked other creatures, which greatly affected its strength, and moreover, this tail was connected to the Ant King's spine.
Such a sudden loss of tail would throw the Ant King off balance for a while.
But compared to the tail, his head looked even worse.
This shot from Su Xiao had destroyed the remaining carapace on the Ant King's head, and with the raging flames, its head was now charred.
But thanks to the bald spot that appeared, the bullet ricocheted, and if not for his bald spot, everything would not have ended with the banal destruction of the remaining part of the carapace on his head..
The Ant King placed his hand on his head and extinguished the flames.
— Double head protection? Su Xiao muttered after seeing his head through the scope.
With a flick of the bolt, he inserted a bullet with a lightning element.
The Ant King was seriously injured, but he definitely shouldn't rush forward now.
It was too early to make a move now.
The Ant King had already clearly sensed the threat of death. Right now, he was a trapped beast, and a trapped beast would use all means to escape or kill those who tried to finish him off.
The most dangerous moment of the battle with the Ant King has arrived.
He became a trapped beast.
Once this stage was completed, it would be a good opportunity for Su Xiao to rush forward and engage in close combat.
Since Mizu used an ice giant and froze the Ant King, she couldn't summon a new ice giant.
It was a very awkward moment. Mizu couldn't fight the Ant King in close combat, Sven couldn't really help her right now, so he took a step back, and even Chairman Isaac took a step back as soon as he saw the Ant King's condition.
Yes, Isaac in the original story decided to take the Ant King with him, but only Isaac wasn't cannon fodder that was willing to die for others at any given moment
In the original story, Isaac chose to die together with the Ant King because of his helplessness, but now he saw that they could eliminate the Ant King without much sacrifice, so did he have to sacrifice himself? Even without one of his arms, he would be able to live for another couple of dozen years, and in that time, he might very well become even stronger than extending his life for some more time.
The Ant King wanted to lure the weak beasts into a trap and kill them by honing his skills first, but suddenly discovered that these weak beasts could very well kill him.
— Opportunity, " the Ant King suddenly said, understanding the situation. Enduring the burning sensation on his head, he bent down and large cracks appeared under his feet.
— It still hasn't changed its obvious pattern, " Su Xiao muttered as he chewed his gum and adjusted the scope.
With his accuracy, Su Xiao would never have been able to hit the Ant King, but now it was different. Thanks to the special features of this sniper rifle, his accuracy and firearm skill have reached a whole new level of quality.
Rising from the floor, Su Xiao placed the Duke of Nirvana on his bipod.
Judging by the situation, he would have to make his next shots without delay, one after the other, and this time he would shoot at a moving target.
As soon as the Ant King disappeared, Su Xiao immediately turned the rifle and pulled the trigger.
*BOOM!*
The powerful sound of a gunshot immediately reverberated through the surroundings. Along with it a roar rang out in the ruins of the palace and the Ant King's body crashed into the ground.
The bullet hit the Ant King squarely in the thigh. Since it contained the element of lightning and thunder, it was extremely fast and had an improved piercing ability.
It made a fist-sized hole in the Ant King's leg.
With this shot, Su Xiao realized something important. Elementary ammo, at least with this attribute, was not suitable for use at this level of cultivation. The Duke of Nirvana's ammo was already armor-piercing by default, which was why their penetration was already quite high, and with the reinforcement from the lightning element, this penetration increased by another level, but this level was too excessive at this stage of development.
But such cartridges were not completely useless. In the future, when the Duke of Nirvana starts to lose ground, this problem can be solved for a while with these cartridges.
Due to Su Xiao cutting a hole in the Ant King's leg, Mizu and Sven looked at each other strangely.
Almost simultaneously, the thought occurred to both of them: "What happens if he shoots them?"?»
The smoker felt weak. Compared to Mizu and Sven, his body was more fragile. He would die from one such shot. You don't even have to prepare a coffin for him, because at best there will be a little minced meat left from his body.
Will Su Xiao kill the Smoker and the others? Of course not. Even disregarding their trump cards, which they kept a secret just in case he killed them, would he be able to get the Ant King's heart?
Trying to kill them with a sniper rifle was probably the stupidest thing to do at the moment. In addition to them, there were more than a hundred contractors in the palace. Even if the three of them died, a hundred contractors wouldn't go anywhere because of it.
Once the Ant King dies, he must enter the palace and prevent other contractors from stealing the Ant King's heart, and Sven and the others can help him with that. It was better to divide the heart into four parts than to try to preserve the whole by turning all the contractors into your enemies.
This hundred contractors would clearly dare to try to kill one person, and even if there were four of them, they would still try to kill them, but if the four of them started fighting this hundred, they would have a better chance of winning.
In addition, even if they have to divide the heart into four parts, even so they will be able to get good rewards. Yes, this reward would be inferior to the one that could be obtained for a whole heart, but there was an upper limit to everything, beyond which it was not such a good reward when compared with the effort spent.
Right now, the value of the Ant King's heart was due to the fact that it avoided the penalty of instant execution. Those contractors who didn't get a part of the Ant King's heart would definitely be willing to give up a lot for even a small part of that heart.
And because they were in a derivative world, many contractors didn't have many Paradise coins with them, but they did have treasure chests, equipment, precious materials, and even unused soul crystals.
With the Ant King's heart in your hands, you could collect a good sum of money without doing anything about it.
Su Xiao's breathing slowed down and he stopped chewing gum, after which he placed a dark element cartridge in his sniper rifle.
The Ant King was currently squatting down when a bullet suddenly flew into its body.
He subconsciously turned around and the bullet flew right past his stomach before sinking into the ground.
The Ant King was confused. He wondered why this attack was so weak.
In fact, it wasn't Su Xiao who shot it, but another sniper.
