Chapter 148 - 83: Gunplay
The Enlightenment Tip then suddenly raised the plot difficulty to Level B.
The wide second layer of the Burial Mountain Mine was filled with ghostly wails and howls of wolves.
It was not just the cries of the hunters, but also the continuous “ooh ooh ooh” howls of the wolves.
As soon as one wolf started to howl, it was like a chain reaction. The entire mine was filled with faltering wails that made people’s hair stand on end.
The blooming of wolfsbane made the werewolves enter a frenzied state.
Previously, they only attacked when someone entered their territory of hatred, but now they have started hunting actively.
Leonard Churchill glanced around. The walls of the mine were glowing with pairs of red wolf eyes everywhere.
Tracy Garcia and her two teammates were clueless, thinking that some reckless hunter had triggered a Level B plot.
The sheer number of monsters, along with the darkness of the mine, made the fight less favorable.
Without any more thought, the decisive Black Knight Liam Martinez roared, “Move! We need to exit the mine first!”
The four of them, who were not in a hurry to find treasure, walked in the back. This position made it easier for them to run.
Churchill was at the end of the team. Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran.
The vanguard became the rearguard, and the rearguard became the vanguard.
Now, monsters were everywhere. The first and last persons in the team were most likely to be attacked by the werewolves and were also in the most dangerous situation.
Just as he turned to run a few steps, Liam Martinez, who was last in the team, had already used his shield to push a werewolf into the minepit shouting, “Watch out! Little Garcia, Alison, you both should take care of the front.”
Alison nodded.
They all knew that the “weak link” was at the front now.
The one who ran slowly could slow down the entire team.
Tracy Garcia kept looking at Leonard Churchill, who was leading in front. She had initially intended to run to the front to replace him.
After all, she was a first-tier curse card master.
However, as she kept running, she realized that she could not catch up to Churchill.
The figure in front always maintained a certain distance, leading them onwards.
Before she could comprehend why this was so, a nimble black figure sprung out from the rocks in front.
Looking at those fierce red eyes, the heart skipped a beat, and she shrieked: “Care…’
Although a common werewolf posed almost no threat to their four-person team.
For a card master apprentice, this could be fatal.
Both Martinez and Alison had their eyes on it, but both of them were attacked by werewolves at the same moment.
These werewolves were cunning and had conceived a strategy to attack them from both sides.
The attack happened so abruptly that there was no time to think before the killing blow arrived.
Just when they desperately wanted to help, two gunshots “Bang Bang” echoed suddenly.
It sounded like a light bulb being smashed.
The red eyes in the darkness were instantly extinguished.
The werewolf whimpered mournfully and fell down.
It wasn’t dead, but it was enough to resolve the crisis.
Leonard Churchill calmly fired two shots without slowing down at all.
The other three people saw the attacking werewolf fall right above Churchill’s head.
After the werewolf was shot, Garcia completed her shout of “Watch out!”.
The curse card in her hand was also retracted.
The bullet was faster than the curse card.
She stood dumbfounded.
Not only her, but Martinez and Alison also froze.
They now understood.
That guy had just fired two precise shots, hit the werewolf in the eyes, and resolved the sudden crisis…
Even though they had witnessed it…
They still couldn’t believe it.
Standard bullets, even those coated with silver, inflict very limited damage to werewolves.
Their fur and muscles have strong tenacity.
When bullets hit, the bullet head would be embedded in the outer muscle layer, barely hurting them.
To inflict deadly damage to werewolves with firearms, the eyes are one of the few weak spots.
But werewolves are very cunning and hide their weaknesses well.
Aiming and hitting such a target while both you and it are moving at high speed is not something an ordinary person can do.
Not only do you need exceptional gun skills, but you also need to have an absolutely calm judgment aiming.
Having this level of skill is enough to be called a master gunman.
Although the monster did not die, the crisis was resolved cleverly.
All it took was pulling the trigger twice.
It was even easier than the previous team effort of Martinez and Alison to kill a werewolf.
“Great shooting!”
Both Martinez and Alison inwardly exclaimed.
At this moment, it seems they understood why Garcia said, “Mr. Leonard Churchill is very powerful.”
They had to admit,
they seemed to have misjudged him before.
If they were outside where special bullets could be used, this superb shooting skill could pose a lethal threat to the curse card master.
Simply based on shooting skills, calling him a master wouldn’t be too far off.
Both of them, looking at the retreating figure, cast a side glance at Tracy Garcia, who was running in the second position, feeling somewhat apologetic. Their previous dismissive attitude was indeed a bit premature.
However, what they didn’t know was that the Spirit Communicator would be just as flabbergasted if she knew what her teammates were thinking because she didn’t have any idea herself.
The initial two shots could have been credited to luck.
However, Churchill’s follow-up responses left the other three speechless.
With Churchill running at the front and the ever-increasing number of werewolves, the pressure was immense.
Even Martinez, an experienced front-line knight constantly facing danger, felt significant pressure.
The two of them, one in the front and one in the back, bore nearly 70% of the team’s pressure.
Under such high pressure, errors in judgement and response were inevitable..
