Chapter 762: The Hunt Hour has awakened!

Chapter 760 759.The Hunt and Kill Moment has awakened!
Lao Qu went offline and made a phone call taking the time to give his face, which hadn’t been cleaned for two days, a quick cleaning, then chewed on an energy bar and lay down on his bed to put on his helmet, and a few seconds later he opened his eyes at the hill where he had hidden himself.

This was out of the area of the ruins of the Black Flame Pass position.

To be more precise, the location of this hill has entered the area called “Hunger Plains”, from here all the way to the west to reach the Brass Fortress, of course, hiking through the current Hunger Plains is very scary, because the jackals are attacking Transylvania at the same time also in the Brass Fortress side of the war.

With this situation, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Dark Mountains had become a mess.

However, it was also because this mountainous area had been separated from the location of the Black Flame Pass, causing the twelve teams patrolling here to not be able to discover in time the “big deal” that the Blood Scarred Jackals were doing in this neighborhood.

“Damn it!”

Old Qu glanced at the still-healing “Star Realm Rift” in the gloomy sky behind him, and he cursed in a low voice:
“Ever since the Tower of the Ring used this thing, it’s like everyone knows how to use it overnight, even the fucking jackals are starting to follow our example of throwing psychic nukes. Fuck, can’t these guys learn anything good?”

He cursed, but got up quickly and took a few short steps forward to hide by the rocks, asking Mia, the hunter corporal beside him, who was gripping her binoculars and observing the situation in the valley below:

“What’s the situation?”

“The psychic energy is still converging, Captain Qu.”

Mia replied immediately:
“North and Papel descended down the ridge in preparation for close reconnaissance, but it should be difficult for them to get close to the valley below; the surrounding area is full of Blood Scar Clan wolf cavalry patrolling the area, and those jackal priests presiding over the rituals in the valley below are protected by a large army.

I saw Manson!

I can’t be wrong, the wanted notice issued by the People’s Army has the portrait of this old Jackalman, and I can be sure that it’s the one presiding over this ceremony here.”

“That’s a gold-ranked boss, isn’t it?”

Old Qu said as he also picked up his binoculars and scanned the valley below:

“This is totally not a guy we can deal with right now.”

“But we can’t let them just continue the ritual!”

Mia said excitedly:
“Even if we die, we have to stop it.”

“The problem is, our deaths won’t change the situation, death . . is always the last option.”

Old Qu looked at this sister in surprise, the past few days together let him know that this girl is a very silent character, and very talented, when carrying out long-distance sniping is calm to the point of frightening, rarely seen her so excited.

But Qu was a veteran player, he understood with a twinkle in his eye and whispered:
“You had a family member perish in the disaster in Cadman City?”

This question made Corporal Mia fall silent, and after a few seconds, she nodded and said:
“All but me . But that’s not why I’m making the recommendation now, Captain! I’m not saying this out of personal hatred; this place where the Jackals performed their ritual is less than fifteen kilometers in a straight line from the Valley of the Shadow!

They must be headed for our command and Lord Murphy.

Once they complete this ritual, everything we’ve done so far to win will go up in smoke.

I’m not afraid to die!

I knew when I joined the People’s Army that death was a warrior’s fate; it was through fearless death that our predecessors were able to rebuild our homeland for the better part of a year, and you were one of those brave forerunners.

But there are so many more people in Transylvania, you and all of us who have given everything to this war, and we can’t let the murderous jackals just step into the new home that we’ve worked so hard to build.

The tragedy of Cadman City . Once is enough!”

“Well said!”

Old Quo grinned.

Giving a thumbs up to this young girl who was at least eight years younger than him, he didn’t have this kind of sparkling realization when he was this old, which in the eyes of a newcomer would probably have to say that the development team must have written a good set of backstory for this NPC, however, Qu was aware of the situation.

Although it had never been confirmed, he knew that this girl was alive, no different from him just an ordinary person living in another world.

“You’ve made up your mind to this point, if we immortal spirits retreat here, won’t you be laughed at hard by you? Don’t worry, we will find a way.”

Qu made a promise, then continued to observe the situation in the valley below.

This in front of him was clearly a large-scale random event.

A temporary ritual site had been shaped by the Jackals in the gentle area of the valley below, and instead of using molded psychic energy crystals, they were directly using a large number of Priests as the core of the ritual, and Qu’s careful observation with his telescopic lens revealed that there were at least two hundred Jackal Priests involved.

That Blood Scar Priest Manson was right in the center of the ceremony, wielding a bone staff that shimmered with starlight even under the white sun as the ritual regulator and releaser.

The buildup of psychic energy concentration here had reached a level that even he, a non-psychic, could detect, and according to the players’ experience in participating in the release of the Astral Tear, the ritual held by the Jackals had already reached the second half, and trying to interfere with the ritual by destroying one or two nodes wouldn’t work anymore.

“We need real experts to get involved over here, the result of just recklessly rushing down will definitely not be too good.”

Qu made a quick judgment.

A few minutes later, the rest of the Big Bird Corps also rushed over at top speed, with the NPCs assigned to them present.

However, the crowd was numb in their claws when they saw the situation in front of them.

“I’ve already invited the brothers from the other squads in my post to come over and share in the festivities, but they won’t necessarily be able to make it, and there simply aren’t enough people for such a small number!”

Brother Woo Meow made an immediate judgment:
“We’ll have to call for help, but it’s not necessary to count on the Spectral Valley side to do a response, the Jackals have previously put a divine spell on the place that imprisons space, and there’s no way for the people inside to use teleportation to leave.

Damn it!

They had already made plans to destroy Spectral Shadow Valley with Astral Rip at that point, that divine spell was just a starter… f*ck, is this specifically revenge for us destroying the Splintered Claw Clan with Astral Rip?
These dogs hold such a grudge?”

“If Spectral Shadow Valley doesn’t work, then we’ll have to look for the Fortress of Courage side.”

Smoke Sang maintained the scouting spell in his hand so that the others could see the situation in the valley more clearly, this scout who was very reliable in critical moments would stop telling his favorite dirty jokes this time, he said very seriously:

“There’s enough manpower over there, the problem is how they’re going to come over, this place isn’t that close to Fort Courage, and it’s also a big problem whether the communication is open on the Fort Courage side.”

“I’ve called that landline, the people over there said to leave these to them to solve Well, the phone is ringing, I’ll get off the line and answer it.”

Brother Woo Meow went offline again, this time picking up the phone before he could speak, a calm voice answered over there:
“First of all, thank you for your report, this news came at a very timely moment.

Command has already notified Lord Murphy, he told us that he will send professionals to your current location, and the Gold ranked Jackals don’t have to worry about having someone dedicated to deal with them, the Fortress of Courage side is already preparing for a surprise attack.

But now there is a problem.

Even the portal raid tactic requires a precise drop point, and right now only your squad is there, so this task can only be given to you.”

“I wouldn’t mind being the teleportation coordinates for the army.”

Brother Woo Meow replied with some wonder:
“But the problem is, I don’t have any spell casters in my team ah, only a scouting psychic.”

“It’s okay, the command made plans for this situation in advance.”

The “Domestic 007” on the other side of the phone explained in a slow and soft voice:
“Remember when you guys were at point A, you got an emergency kit that the command issued to every commander? Inside was a rune stone for localization, which was originally intended to be used as a locator for rescue situations, but in this case it can also be used as a teleportation channel marker.

We’ve just consulted with the psychic in the valley, and her advice is to find a gentle area, bury the runestone and wait for a response.

But since that thing is disposable, you can’t change the location once it’s activated, you’ll have to choose the best bearing into the battlefield for Fort Courage’s raiding force, and also this thing will inspire a psychic energy fluctuation that can’t be obscured when it’s used for teleportation road markers.

This means that once it is buried you will be exposed.”

“Ah, I see! A classic guardian portal mission!”

Brother Woo Meow instantly understood as he said:

“Alright, leave it to us, please convey our decision to Lord Murphy and Master Qin, and the Big Bird Troupe promises to complete the mission!”

“Wait.”

National 007 couldn’t help but ask:
“This is a death-dealing job.”

“I know, if this job was easy would you need to deliver the message so solemnly?” Brother Woo Meow grinned, he thought for a moment and said to the opposite side of the phone:
“I bet you don’t usually play games much, do you?”

“Uh, indeed, I don’t pursue much in the way of entertainment.”

The young homegrown 007 said in wonder:

“But does that have anything to do with me not playing games?”

“You’re not a player, so of course you can’t understand what players think, so you guys from the classroom are still not grounded enough, man, just like when you canceled Tatsuya’s quests and caused people to call you goons on the forums.

This is a game, man!
It’s not a war mission, playing a game is about having a good time is about having a good time!

If everything we do is about peace and quiet, why would we bother to come and fight the Jackals?”

Brother Woo Meow expressed his thoughts very politely as he said:

“Just like this mission, everyone knows it’s a death sentence, but no one would refuse. Because taking on such an important role in such a crucial mission that can affect the battlefield means that as long as they can pass this mission, my brothers hold that ticket into the Player’s Hall of Fame.

Oops, it’s hard for you to understand when I give you this.

You don’t understand how much players can give up for a single honorable achievement, and while everyone has different reasons for indulging in the game world, escapism or entertainment, Transylvania right now is the standard arena for individual heroism!

When you watched Ultraman as a kid, didn’t you ever think you could become Sailor’s earthly body?
Don’t you believe in light?”

“Uh, I know you’re explaining it to me, but the problem is that young people of my generation generally don’t watch Ultraman ah.”

007 spat:
“But I can probably understand what you mean, something like a belt where the card face comes to fight right? Realizing the dream of a hero in your heart alright, I’ll take your advice and will try to use a player’s mindset for the rest of the work.

But still, this mission is important and I hope you take it seriously.”

“Still the same, the Big Bird Corps promises to fulfill the mission!”

Brother Woo Meow hung up his cell phone after dropping a sentence, then put on his helmet and entered the game to relay the command’s orders, opening that commander’s emergency bag himself, and sure enough, he found a rune stone engraved with intricate wrinkles from it.

“Can’t all go down to guard the portal.”

As the crowd excitedly prepared to depart, Old Quirk shook his head:
“There are too many people down there, I have to find a way to share a bit of the pressure with you in the meantime and cause them a bit of trouble.”

“So? What are you gonna do? Go kill Manson in seconds with that big gun gun of yours?”

Sanwu Doo teased:

“Come on, bro, snipers can’t fight this kind of scene, the opposite side are all elite silvers, you can’t kill them with one shot, and you’re the one who dies if you expose your target.”

“I also did not intend to hit people ah.”

Old Qu said with a skittish look:
“See that staff in Manson’s hand? That thing is obviously a very important ritual item, and by breaking that thing, this ritual of theirs might not stop, but it’s definitely going to result in some marvelous changes as a result.

Even if it triggers a tear in the astral realm early, it’s still better than waiting for them to finish their ritual.

You guys go on down, I’ll find a place to fire that fatal shot. Besides, I’m ready to start my Silver Trial here.”

“Fuck, are you serious?”

Brother Woo Meow said with wide eyes:

“You can’t make up for lost potential if you die once in that trial, and the human development team made it clear that the perfect situation is to complete it in one sitting, so I suggest you play it safe.”

“I wouldn’t be here if I were playing it safe, don’t worry, I’m sure.”

Qu grinned and patted his beloved big gun, waved to his brothers and carried his own big gun gun on his back and headed in the other direction, he had to find a way to get as close to the valley as possible to fulfill his sniping mission.

But a few minutes later, Lao Qu turned around in surprise to see his three apprentice hunters following him.

“What are you guys following me for?”

Qu chided ungratefully:

“Go go go, follow them down there and guard the portal.”

“But as you said, this is the best way we can make an outstanding contribution to this war, as you said, the best sniper doesn’t lie in how many bullets he shoots and how many enemies he takes away, it only lies in whether or not he can use his gun to reverse fate at the most crucial moment.”

Corporal Mia said in a deep voice:
“So, please allow us to participate in your hunt, Captain Qu! Although we only have one life, we are happy to dedicate it to our homeland.”

“I’m just afraid you’ll slow me down, and I’ll have to cover you in a pinch.”

Old Qu spat out, but he looked at the determination of the three NPCs and ultimately did not drive them away.

He said:

“I have spare parts for the ‘Ogre’s Hammer’ in my bag, and I brought enough stuff from the warehouse that I should still be able to save up a second gun, so I’ll leave it to you guys. If I miss, you guys have to make up for it right away!
There won’t be too many chances to shoot. If we both miss, it’ll be a real shame.
It would be a real shame.”

A few minutes later Qu found a good sniping spot, and he and his apprentice rappelled down the cliff, splitting into two positions to hide in the ridge’s cleft protrusion.

This was the favorite spot of the old sixes in the battlefield!

The place was high enough and the distance was far enough that ordinary bows and arrows couldn’t reach this position except for specialized firearms.

Old Qu lay on his back and set his big gun gun up aiming down below.

This distance had already reached beyond the limits of this anti-tank gun, so Qu had to use modified gold-burning range-enhancing rounds to ensure sufficient exit velocity.

He wasn’t a professional sniper.

In reality, he had always wanted to go to the shooting range and couldn’t find the time to do so, and although he could always get very stunning results in other FPS games, that gaming experience of aiming with a mouse simply couldn’t be used in a scenario like the one at hand, and he relied solely on the practice and combat experience he had gained over the past seven months or so in Transylvania.

Qu wasn’t really a top-tier player either, and he’d only gotten four Ancestor Powers, but he had the advantage of being specialized enough.

The guy’s melee ability was probably the worst in the Big Bird group, and with the Jackals being able to nullify totems at long range, the advantage of the archer was infinitely canceled out, and the forums were full of vitriol and pessimism about the profession.

But old Qu doesn’t see it that way.
He practiced a rather middle-of-the-road thinking!

That is, every road can go to the end of the road, if you can not go, that is never the problem of the road, that is the problem of the person.

“Ah, this is the time I really want a lock to hang ah, it would be best if we could have a big gyroscope, watch me rush down alone and kill all of you!”

Old Qu spat out, dropping a piece of oddly flavored hard candy into his mouth.

This was still something that Little Reed Name had taught him, the process of chewing could effectively disperse the pressure.

He took a deep breath through his nostrils and set the sight’s collimator into his field of view, it wasn’t clear to see beyond the range, Qu grunted and simply flicked the scope to the side and went straight for the most primitive machine sight.

Ancestor’s Power – Falcon’s Eye activated!
Green light filled his pupils, and the focal length of his field of vision zoomed out for a split second, allowing him to clearly lock onto his target.

The starlight-ridden staff in the hands of the gold priest named Manson.

But it wasn’t enough.

The power of the bullet itself wouldn’t be enough to shatter that seemingly unbeatable contraption.

Ancestral Power – Hunting Instinct activated!
Ancestral Power – Eagle Claw Assault activated!
Ancestral Power-Triple Storm Acceleration activated!
The 100% potential bar belonging to Qu began to burn, a very different experience from the Orchid’s trial, causing the entire world in his eyes to slow down in this instant, everything around him was being shielded at a rapid pace, as if the only things left in the entire world were him, the gun in his hand, and the target in the distance.

Ha, three points and a line .
How hard could it be?

“Bang.”
