Chapter 478: The Bridge
*Pum*
Another bullet shot out from the Spider Queen's muzzle.
Breaking through layers of air and creating ripples, it easily pierced through the contractor's arm.
The contractor's shoulder was a bloody mess, with white bones and meat and bits of wood vaguely visible.
The mage staggered back, almost falling to the ground.
Glancing sideways at his hand, the mage opened his mouth slightly and was about to scream, but his head suddenly exploded.
Warm blood and bits of flesh landed on the body of the main tank nearby, and it subconsciously lowered its head and placed its shield in front of it, after which it roared — " The enemy is attacking!
*Pum-pum*
Su Xiao fired two more shots, killing another contractor.
Before the dozen or so contractors ambushing the bridge realized what was going on at all, Su Xiao had already killed three of them.
— There's a sniper on the other side of the bridge!
— Kill him!
— Sniper, take it down!
But this group did not consist of newcomers. They immediately started trying to suppress Su Xiao's position with their fire.
A tall but thin man with a bow and arrow was hiding behind a rock. In his heart, he already suspected that they didn't have any normal ranged fighters left besides him.
Their sniper was obviously the first to die, and the mage was the second to die. If it wasn't for his intuition, he would have already been lying on the ground himself.
Just as the archer was about to stick his head out, he heard a sharp whistling sound. He was very familiar with this sound — it was the sound of a bullet that had passed very close to him.
«He found me».
Although he knew that he had been discovered, there was no way out of this situation.
— I can buy you a few seconds, can you kill him? A gruff voice rang out, and the archer looked sideways. This was said by their leader, the leader of the temporary group.
This group of contractors was actually a rabble of loners who had decided to set up a temporary group while still on the plane.
After landing on the territory with red soil, they all almost died and were very exhausted, but in the end they miraculously managed to find this bridge and eventually survived, taking with them a lot of useful things.
— A few seconds... But as soon as the archer finished speaking, he felt a pair of bloodshot eyes staring back at him.
— If you don't try, you'll at least force him to back down. We will only be able to deal with him in close combat, but it will be very difficult to get close to him. You have to do this, or we'll all die here.".
The group leader's face was beautiful, however, his expression along with his eyes were filled with malice.
What the group leader didn't know was that the sniper on the other side was also waiting for them to try to get close to him...
— The archer's body flashed with green light.
The leader of the group looked the archer up and down, and finally nodded, then put his head in his hands and ran out of hiding straight to the other end of the bridge.
— Follow me if you don't want to die!" The group leader bellowed.
Other contractors started running out of hiding one by one. They couldn't escape from here. There was a sniper on the other side of the bridge. If they tried to escape, they would become living targets, so they could only rush forward and kill the sniper, hoping that in the process of closing in, he would decide to kill someone else.
Su Xiao lay on the slope and saw a large number of good targets in his scope, but he didn't think long about who he should kill first.
After shooting at the first contractor who ran away Su Xiao suddenly heard a sharp whistle and subconsciously turned his head.
An arrow flew past his head a moment later. If he hadn't turned his head, this arrow would have sunk into his temple.
Quickly aiming at the archer on the opposite side of the bridge, Su Xiao fired a precise triple shot.
A loud shout came from the opposite side of the bridge. The archer's body was thrown back a couple of meters and he fell off the bridge right into the abyss.
After killing the last barrier, Su Xiao pulled out the Spider Queen's magazine and saw eight bullets.
Putting the magazine back in, he handed the Spider Queen to Bubtney while he got up and watched the contractors.
His opponents were already on his side of the bridge and still actively running forward.
— Woof! " said Bubtney ,and he looked at the Barr before turning his gaze to the stone bridge.
— I can't take a step, your master will have to deal with them himself, " Barr replied and continued to lie on the hillside, not intending to make even one simple move.
And Barr really couldn't make a move right now, because Jan's daughter had granted Barr a one-time ability that would benefit them in the Black Forest.
Su Xiao will have to take charge of the battles on the way to the forest, and after the group goes deeper into the black forest, Barr will use the ability granted to him.
Barr's body temperature was crucial right now. If his body temperature exceeded 80 degrees, his new ability wouldn't be able to be used to its full potential.
— Your master is about to join the battle, don't you want to help him? Barr asked, and looked at Bubtney with interest. He had already realized that Bubtney was very intelligent and was smarter than most wild animals.
Bubtney stood up on his hind legs and folded his front paws in front of his chest, then looked at Barr with disdain, and his eyes said clearly: "This Bubtni is responsible for master's health, and I'm a delicate and valuable person, so I won't fight in close combat».
Barr obviously couldn't understand the meaning of Bubtney's gaze, but he could tell that Bubtney was looking at him with disdain.
Su Xiao, on the other hand, was already in front of a group of contractors, causing them to be puzzled.
After all, wasn't their opponent a sniper?
*A clang*
A light blue wave roared out of its scabbard and slashed at the tank in front of the group.
*BOOM*
The wave hit the shield, and the main tank holding the shield had its hands numb from the impact, and a deep dent appeared on its shield.
— This... Sword energy? the main tank was stunned, and their advance stopped abruptly.
After they saw the "sword energy", all the contractors abruptly stopped in disbelief.
— He's definitely not a sniper!
— It's a lone wolf...
Usually," lone wolves " referred to contractors who had no obvious weaknesses, and usually such people had one outstanding ability, but their other abilities were not weak and they could handle almost all emergencies without much trouble.
— Let's kill him! The group leader shouted and gritted his teeth. The fact that they decided to ambush this stone bridge turned out to be a very bad decision in the end.
Let that guy with the sword cross the bridge? The group leader shook his head as he thought about it. It wasn't that they didn't want to let him go, but that he wouldn't believe that they wanted to let him pass without any questions.
Previously, they were in the middle of the bridge and would have been an ideal target for a sniper, but now it turned out that their opponent was actually not a sniper, but a swordsman, and a swordsman who could release sword energy.
Su Xiao slowly walked forward. His pace gradually picked up speed, and soon he changed from a walk to a run, and after a couple of seconds, all that was left of him was an afterimage.
Their group was assembled in a hurry, so they didn't have any tactics at all in case of such a situation.
It wasn't that the leader of this group was stupid. It was, after all, a temporary group. If he tried to force any of these people to follow his orders, their already unreliable group would eventually fall apart.
