Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 90 The Silent Arrow

Ji Xinghuo returned to the first-level urban area, but did not leave the city immediately.

Gorakak of Fomalhaut is able to fly for a short period of time, has strong hearing and vision, and is good at scouting. The Dagon people also formed a flying patrol team, so it is not conducive to hiding during the day. Bounty hunters are almost always dispatched at night. Go back to the fort.

He followed a few bounty hunters to a large hotel, which was one of the largest gathering points for bounty hunters in Midpoint Fortress.

The hotel lobby is very large, divided into restaurants and bars.

The bounty hunters sat at the table in twos and threes, or drank at the bar, exchanging information with each other, which was quite lively.

When Ji Xinghuo came in, he attracted several gazes.

However, most people turned their heads after looking at him twice, and someone whispered: "Here is a newbie."

"It seems to be a bit capable."

"Who dares to be a bounty hunter, who has no talent?" The person next to him replied, and suddenly smiled: "Shall we make a bet, how many days can he live?"

"Three days."

"Ten days."

"I bet [-] Asian dollars that he can live until next month."

They didn't deliberately lower their voices. Ji Xinghuo, who was still at the door, could hear him clearly, but he didn't mind being used for a bet. have a drink?"

"Give me a cold beer first." Ji Xinghuo took out a banknote and handed it over.

The bartender quickly pushed a full glass of wine in front of him, Ji Xinghuo picked it up and took a sip, listening to the discussions in the lobby.

The topic of bounty hunters is inseparable from three elements, bonuses, points and prey.

Ji Xinghuo summoned the waiter, "Do you have defense maps for sale here?"

"Of course." The waiter was not surprised, "but only the Fomalhaut clan's defense map is updated every ten days. The information is not necessarily accurate. The price is two thousand Asian dollars. Do you want it?"

"Give me one."

Ji Xinghuo paid, and the waiter immediately brought a beautiful map.

He spread it out and watched carefully.

This map includes a military defense line of about [-] kilometers around the Midpoint Fortress, and only public military buildings are marked on the earth.

On the opposite side, the Fomalhaut line of defense is very detailed, including the locations of various fortresses, sentry towers, and bunker barracks, the defensive facilities inside, the number of people stationed, the surrounding terrain, the routes and alternate times of patrols, underground tunnels, etc. Extremely detailed.

Ji Xinghuo looked at it very seriously, and he memorized the contents of the map in his heart for more than an hour.

Then left the hotel.

Seeing that it was still early, he walked around the Midpoint Fortress twice and purchased a batch of arrows, mainly titanium-aluminum alloy arrows, and added some capacitor arrows and explosive arrows.

The armed store in Midpoint Fortress sells things that are biased towards concealment and survival.

Ji Xinghuo also saw a stealth ring, which was exactly the same as the ring in his hand, priced at 1300 million!
However, the effect of the ring of stealth is completely worthy of its price.

"So it's so expensive."

There are many bounty hunters who linger in front of the stealth ring, and are very greedy for this super power ring.

"Silent Arrow?"

Ji Xinghuo saw a special kind of arrow in a bow and arrow shop that he hadn't seen before, and immediately became interested, so he went in and asked.

A moment later, he walked out of the shop with fifty more silent arrows in the quiver behind his back.

This kind of arrow is made of a sound-absorbing material. After shooting, the arrow will absorb the sound waves generated by friction with the air, forming a silent arrow, which is very beneficial for long-range assassination.And after hitting the target, the sound-absorbing effect will also act on the target, making no sound, and falling to the ground silently.

However, the material of the silent arrow is worse than that of the alloy, and its hardness and toughness are slightly inferior, so the lethality is lower than that of the alloy arrow.

Moreover, if the target is hard, the arrow will be damaged, and it is basically impossible to recover it.

This makes the Silent Arrow a one-shot arrow.

Each one costs [-] Asian dollars, which is more expensive than capacitor arrows, and they can only be used once, so not many people buy them.

Ji Xinghuo is not short of money at the moment, so he will buy fifty for a trial first.

If the Silent Arrow works well, he doesn't mind buying more in the future as his regular means.

After purchasing arrows and other useful materials and tools, Ji Xinghuo found a random hotel and opened a room to sleep. When he woke up, the sky was getting dark and the starry night was about to fall.He left the hotel and walked towards the gate of the first-tier city. When he arrived, there were already thousands of bounty hunters waiting here.

Although there are many people, it is very quiet under the high city.

Everyone was fully armed, with serious and silent expressions, not in the mood to talk to others.

Every time you go out to hunt the enemy, you use your own life as a bet. No one knows whether you can come back. Perhaps, this is the last hunt.

Ji Xinghuo saw a few familiar figures at the hotel at noon.

He also saw the "Red Devil" Alex.

"Open the door!"

When the last ray of golden light disappeared in the sky, dots of stars appeared in the sky, and the reflection of the Milky Way gradually emerged. The city gate guards shouted loudly, and the steam boiler pulled the chain to pull up the alloy city gates that were more than two meters thick. .

The bounty hunters filed out and scattered in different directions.

One by one, the figures disappeared from the field of vision.

After Ji Xinghuo separated from the crowd, he activated his stealth ring to cover his figure and headed northeast.

When he climbed over a low mountain ridge, he saw the bare ground, the terrain was undulating, the forest was cut down, the vegetation was completely destroyed, and the rocks and soil were exposed. Until the end of the field of vision, there was no trace of green.

There is a five-kilometer buffer zone between Earth and Fomalhaut's defenses.

Countless battles have taken place in the buffer zone, and it looks calm on the surface, but there are countless trenches, traps, and secret passages underground, which are intricate and criss-crossed, like a huge maze, the length of which is enough to circle the earth several times.

Both sides will lie in ambush.

Just crossing the buffer zone is very dangerous.

Ji Xinghuo saw a light from a distance, it was Fomalhaut's "Victory Fort", facing the Midpoint Fortress here.

At this moment, many killers and assassins from the Fomalhaut clan also left the fortress, ready to cross the line of defense and sneak into the human territory.

Ji Xinghuo did not step into the buffer zone, but continued to walk northeast along the line of defense.

It was not until more than 20 kilometers away that he entered an underground tunnel.

The entrance to this secret passage was very hidden, and it was marked on the map bought at the bar. When Ji Xinghuo arrived, he saw several bounty hunters.

He deliberately distanced himself from others, and only followed after they entered.

The secret passage is winding and winding, and there are many forks along the way.

If you are a first-time visitor, you will easily get lost. You may not be able to get out all night in the dark passage, and you may even encounter enemies.

However, Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction swept away and easily found the right path.

Coming out from the other end of the dark passage, they have already passed through the buffer zone.

Those few bounty hunters separated, some went alone, and some formed a team. Ji Xinghuo didn't disturb them and proceeded in the direction he chose.

Under the starry night, a transparent figure moved quickly, but did not make a sound.

The stealth state consumes star power.

Ji Xinghuo is turned on almost all the time, and the ether affinity allows him to have an extremely fast recovery speed of star power, which can just offset the consumption of the stealth ring.

Shortly after.

He saw a watchtower of Fomalhaut.

Two or three kilometers away, Ji Xinghuo's Vientiane Xingpupil Observation Tower seems to be very close at hand.

The Fomalhaut clan is completely ruled by the Dagon people, and their architectural style is also completely dominated by the Dagon people. There are three circular high walls on the ground, inside and outside, and a cylindrical tower in the middle, more than 20 meters high, with the superstructure facing outwards. Expand, like a big mushroom.

At the foot of the sentry tower is the military camp. Judging from the size, the number of people should be between one hundred and two hundred.

And the commander must be a Tier [-] master.

Ji Xinghuo didn't want to do anything to this sentry tower, and he couldn't hit it even if he wanted to, so he bypassed it far away and continued to go deep behind Fomalhaut's defense line.

He continued to advance for more than 20 kilometers. Along the way, the magnetic field induction detected sentry towers, secret sentries, bunkers, and military camps. The scales were large and small, and the layout was very dense. They occupied favorable terrain and formed a strict defense system.

This kind of military building cannot be captured by one person.

Ji Xinghuo didn't list them as his target for the time being, his target was the patrol team.

It has been more than three hours since he entered the starry night, and Ji Xinghuo finally arrived at the predetermined area, but he did not rush to do it. Instead, he spent more than two hours feeling the terrain, defenses and roads of this mountainous area, and corrected the map. mistake.

Then he began to wait patiently.

Like a professional hunter, waiting for his prey to appear.

After half an hour.

A patrol team came into view, and Ji Xinghuo, who was standing on the tree, was refreshed. The route was marked on the defense map, and a patrol team would pass by every three hours.

They started from the military camp five kilometers away, passed several watchtowers along the way, and then went back by another road.

However, few bounty hunters will do anything to them.

Because there are usually 20 people in this patrol team, all four tribes of Fomalhaut, with reasonable occupational matching, excellent equipment, tacit understanding in combat, and the third-rank Dagon as the captain.

Even two or three super aliens would not dare to confront the patrol team.

Moreover, the patrol team has a method of instant contact with the barracks. Once attacked, stronger tribesmen will rush to the scene soon.

Ji Xinghuo observed from a height.

Sure enough, it was the same as in the message, a total of twenty enemies.

Half of them were stone lizards. They scattered in the front row and rear of the team on foot. Their tall bodies wore metal armor, held shields and weapons, and carried javelins on their backs. They acted as human shields and melee fighters in the team.

The five Gorakaks took turns to take off to check the surroundings.

Of the four Dagon men, three of them were riding armored war horses, and the mount under one Dagon man was a plant cheetah, which was a vine spirit.

Apparently, the Dagon man riding the vine spirit was the captain of the patrol.

A few minutes later, the patrol team entered the range of magnetic field sensing, and Ji Xinghuo recognized the occupations of the four Dagon people.

Not all Dagon people are Shuisi or Bingfeng, these two occupations only account for about half, and the other half Dagon people have chosen many other career templates just like humans.

However, the genetic talent of the Dagon people is more partial, so the number of career templates is not as good as that of humans.

Many occupational abilities are similar, but they are also different from humans.

Ji Xinghuo quickly settled on a tactic.

Soon, the patrol came into his range. Ji Xinghuo raised his Dragon Falcon Eagle Bow, and the pupil of his right eye lit up a faint light circle. He aimed at a Dagon man carrying a hunting bow, and shot out with one arrow.
