I have an eye of truth
#19 - The thorn ghost appears
"Alright, that's about enough. If we keep going, those monsters will all be dead. Now, let the Spiked Fiend come."
"Colonel, are you sure you want to release that thing? It's one of the top-tier creatures in the first level, they'll have a hard time stopping it." Beside him, He Yingxue looked at her uncle with some confusion.
"Haha, under normal circumstances, of course not. But don't we have two sharpshooters here now? Let me see what they're capable of." Sharpshooters aren't exactly a reliable thing.
"But the Spiked Fiend's strength is already equivalent to a formal professional. Even with a sniper rifle, it'll be difficult from this distance, right?"
"Obey orders." The Colonel suddenly shouted.
"Yes." Now, no one else dared to object. In the military, orders are paramount.
At this moment, the recruits on the front line had no idea about their situation. They just watched as the monsters were almost completely wiped out, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Great, we survived."
Hearing this, Wang Yang felt a little strange. Didn't anyone die?
These first-level monsters were inherently weak, and none of them even had ranged attacks. The only flying creatures were blocked by him and Liu Xiao. They didn't even have a single seriously injured person, only a few minor injuries, which he himself had caused.
This sigh of relief made it sound like they had gone through a truly brutal battle.
Wang Yang also realized that his state was strange. During the battle, he hadn't thought about anything, only focusing on attacking the targets. Now that he was awake, he realized that he had killed so many monsters, and he was actually a little scared.
"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, someone pointed into the distance and shouted, their eyes wide.
Liu Xiao, next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "It's a Spiked Fiend, one of the strongest monsters on the first level. It has already reached the level of a formal professional. And this thing has very strong defense."
"This is a Spiked Fiend? It looks like a big porcupine." Wang Yang said with some curiosity.
Liu Xiao knew that Wang Yang didn't know many common things, so he began to explain, "I've seen this thing in books. The Spiked Fiend has a shell-like armor on its body, covered with sharp spikes, which are both an attack method and a defense method. Its ability is to strengthen its own defense. I'm afraid our attacks will be ineffective."
Liu Xiao then looked at the machine gun turrets on both sides, "Aim the machine guns at the Spiked Fiend, a large number of bullets can kill it."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the machine gun turrets on both sides went silent. The commander in the rear immediately said, "The machine gun turrets have run out of ammunition, logistics is preparing, we're counting on you guys for this period."
Okay, this is the real deal, they really think we are ignorant fools.
Anyone with a little sense would know that this was deliberately giving them a chance to train. Machine gun turrets running out of bullets? Don't be ridiculous. The regular reserves of bullets in this thing can last for several days.
It's only been this long, and it's already gone? Don't lie like that.
But facing the Spiked Fiend, they couldn't let it just rush over. There were still some monsters that hadn't been eliminated around, some were fleeing, but some were also running towards them, so they had to intercept them.
Some people had already started attacking in that direction. Liu Xiao fired a shot, then shook his head, "No, this Spiked Fiend is too troublesome. The shell on its body is too hard, and ordinary weapons can't hurt it."
The Spiked Fiend not only has a shell, but also a layer of special defense, which can only be penetrated with energy weapons.
But energy weapons cannot be used on the first level, so there is no way.
Wang Yang aimed at one of the Spiked Fiend's eyes and suddenly fired a shot. But although the bullet hit the Spiked Fiend's eye, it was blocked by an invisible energy barrier. When the bullet fell off, the Spiked Fiend's eyes closed, but you could see the eyelid dent in a bit.
Feeling the pain, a red light flashed in the Spiked Fiend's eyes, and then it roared and accelerated its forward speed. An arm was in front of its face, ready to block attacks to its eyes at any time.
"You must shoot continuously to break the Spiked Fiend's defense, otherwise that layer of defense will recover very quickly." Liu Xiao said to Wang Yang.
Wang Yang pointed to his shoulder, "No, my shoulder is completely numb. It takes a while to buffer after firing a shot." His physical fitness was not good enough, and he couldn't fire continuously at all.
Liu Xiao was also very helpless, after all, Wang Yang's physical fitness was indeed not good.
But if that thing got close, who knew what would happen. Maybe they would all be punished then.
"What if you two attack at the same time? Wouldn't that be okay?" Suddenly, Li Mang thought of a method while touching his chin. Hearing this method, Liu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Good idea, you command, let's try it."
Wang Yang pointed to the monster and said, "But it's been watching us all the time. Once we attack, the Spiked Fiend will block the attack with its arm. It seems we can't break through that shell defense."
Liu Xiao turned his head and looked around, "Then let others help divert its attention." Saying that, Liu Xiao shouted loudly, "Everyone, pay attention, that monster is called Spiked Fiend, it's a monster whose strength has reached the level of a formal professional. Once it rushes over, people may die. Now everyone attack together and buy time for the machine gun turrets to reload."
"That's right, everyone cheer up and fight!" Liu Xiao suddenly shouted loudly, directly acting as a shill.
Many people were stirred up and their blood boiled, so someone fired a shot, and then more people fired. If it weren't for the fact that rocket launchers couldn't be used here, someone would probably use them.
"I'll command, you two aim quickly." Li Mang said quickly to the two of them.
The two understood and directly aimed at the Spiked Fiend's right eyeball. At this moment, the Spiked Fiend was annoyed by the attacks of the others. Although it couldn't break the shell, the impact also made the Spiked Fiend's movements distorted.
Gradually, the Spiked Fiend's attention was no longer on the two of them.
After all, so many attacks were always aimed at its head, and these were all threats.
When the Spiked Fiend's arm finally came down, Li Mang knew the time had come. "Get ready, aim, attack." Just as the Spiked Fiend's eyes shifted, Li Mang issued the attack order in the first instance.
Liu Xiao's eyes stared at the opposite side. His marksmanship was not as good as Wang Yang's, so he had to be more focused. If it wasn't for the Spiked Fiend being such a big target, he wouldn't dare to do this.
"Bang." Two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, so inconspicuous in this place where gunshots were loud, but these two bullets carried all the hope of killing the Spiked Fiend.
