Chapter 46: The Hunt (I)
The attack strength of a spider mine is twenty-five standard and poor's, which is more powerful than the Yang Electron Cannon, but it is not conductive, so although the lethality is strong, the paralysis is weak, so Renault needs to use four to achieve a single blow to level the opponent.
Even so, Renault still carefully inspected it and confirmed that it was only the mecha that was seriously damaged, and the pilot inside was not in danger of life, but only stunned, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the high-intensity explosion also shattered two of the three ammo boxes in the mech.
All ammo boxes are specially made to automatically transfer bullets and must be reloaded once they are dispersed. Renault didn't have the time, which meant wasting two boxes of ammunition, much to Renault's regret. Fortunately, the energy capsule was not leaked, and Renault unceremoniously absorbed it, and the overall energy finally reached forty percent.
To do this well, Renault's previous accumulation of information advantages through the shuttle has almost all been tapped. Although he knew that there were still some resource points in the place, after all, it was too far from here, not to mention that he might not be able to get it when he rushed there, and even if he did, the energy consumed would outweigh the loss.
So instead of looking for new resources, Renault quickly moved in the direction of the snake lizard.
After running for about twenty minutes, Renault came to the snake lizard hunting ground.
It is a wide grassland with a hill in the center, a high-voltage electric fence to prevent snakes and lizards from escaping, and there are warning signs everywhere that do not break the fence.
After scanning the surroundings to make sure no lurkers were found, Renault entered the hunting ground through one of the gates, and then kept running towards the central hillside.
The hill is not very high, with a relatively gentle slope in the front and a relatively steep slope in the rear. The density of the forest is high, which is conducive to concealment.
This means that this is a good place to snipe.
Renault made his way to the top of the hill, not sure if he was the first to get there, but at least at the time he was using the satellite reception, the hunting ground had not yet been entered by competitors - which was why Renault was in a hurry to get here, and after seeing the hill, he already realized the importance of the terrain.
Quickly approaching the hillside, Renault found a place with a wide view and looked down condescendingly.
He soon found a group of wandering snakes and lizards at the foot of the mountain, which looked like mutants of lizards, with fine, hard scale armor and stubby limbs, twelve in number, four large and eight small.
"I don't think the rules say that there should be a big or small one." Renault muttered, already raising the cannon in his hand: "Sniper mode." ”
The twelve muzzles on the cannon began to retract, and a concentrated barrel began to stick out.
The Silverwings are typical versatile and highly adaptable mechs with multiple attack modes.
As the gun changed, Renault had pushed the newly acquired 20-millimeter high-explosive armor-piercing round into the chamber, and slowly aimed the muzzle of the gun at the head of one of the snake lizards, and fired.
Bang!
At the sound of a loud gunshot, the snake's head exploded and fell to the ground without even a wail.
The skin of this snake lizard is very hard, the vitality is strong, and ordinary seven-millimeter bullets can cause very little damage to it, only this large-caliber armor-piercing high-explosive bullet can cause fatal damage. However, this shot also stabbed the hornet's nest, and the eleven snake lizards let out angry howls at the same time and rushed towards the hillside. Despite their short births, when these guys run at full strength, they are not slow at all.
Renault continued to shoot unhurriedly, but the snakes and lizards were quite elusive, they did not run in a straight line, but in a strange arc that made it difficult for Renault to grasp, and the second shot missed.
Renault was not in a hurry, and continued with the third, fourth, methodical shooting, and as the shots continued to ring, one snake lizard after another fell on the way to the charge.
By the time these ferocious fellows rushed to Renault's side, only five of the twelve snake lizards were left, and the rest were all dead on the road. Renault simply put away his gun and swung his energy blade to meet the snake lizard, and with the flash of the sword light, all five small snake lizards fell in a pool of blood.
Renault noticed that his points had risen from two to four - they really didn't have a score.
"Not bad." Renault muttered to himself.
In my heart, although killing snakes and lizards only has points and no other gains, it is a complete consumption process. But compared to the trouble of the contestants, it is obviously countless times more cost-effective to deal with snake lizards.
Renault's previous ability to deal with two contestants was entirely a blessing in helping him unlock powerful weapons first, and as the tournament progressed, more and more contestants gained points and unlocked weapons, and the opponent was destined to become more and more difficult to deal with.
It is rare to harvest loot from the opponent, and it is normal to fight until you run out of ammunition.
But it is for this reason that Renault, who is now in a period of firepower superiority, has to give priority to the contestants - yes, he is not here to hunt snakes and lizards, but to hunt more people.
After the Twelve Snake Lizard was solved, Renault quickly searched for the target, and soon found another group, and he continued to shoot with his gun raised, reaping two more points.
The number of snakes and lizards in the hunting ground is also limited, Renault searched quickly, kept hunting, and the number of points steadily increased, and soon approached ten points.
Just as Renault locked onto a group of snake lizards again and was about to attack, he suddenly saw a little flash of light not far down the mountain.
Renault jumped up without thinking, and a Tomahawk missile was already whistling with a long tail flame, and in an instant, it hit Renault's previous sniper point, setting off a violent explosion. The shockwave caught up with Renault, but only pushed him farther away and didn't do any real damage.
The tall mecha fell to the ground with a bang, rolled around on the ground, squatted up on half a knee, looked up slightly ahead, and Renault laughed: "It's finally here." ”
Down the hill, a dark black mecha is approaching at high speed.
It was clear that he was attracted by Renault's fight on his side.
There is a limit to the number of points that the organizer can give, which means that there will inevitably be a large number of participants in each hunting ground, and the concentration will lead to battles. This is the true meaning of the existence of the hunting ground - it is not used to give points to the participants, but a piece of meat bait to lure and kill.
Renault saw this from the beginning, so he didn't rush to the hunting ground, but first tried to arm himself, and then came here to find an opportunity to fight, continue to use the superior firepower to defeat the opponent, and enrich himself, and by the way, he could also kill the snake lizard to hunt points.
Of course, the idea is good, and whether it can be implemented depends on strength and luck.
Renault's luck this time was obviously not good, and the opponent turned out to be a missile, which means that he has found at least one resource point.
Renault did not immediately return fire, but used the terrain to constantly cover up.
At this stage, it is most appropriate to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Another tomahawk flew in.
Damn, do you want to be so unproductive? Renault cursed in his heart, running away in embarrassment, this time he couldn't completely avoid it, the tomahawk exploded within twenty meters of him, the shock wave brought a wave on the energy shield, and the mecha energy suddenly dropped by one percent.
Renault and the pilot of the dark machine were heartbroken, and they both felt that they had lost.
The third and fourth tomahawks flew, this time two shots at a time, and Renault could no longer dodge.
He lifted the muzzle of his gun, and the sniper rifle had switched back into cannon mode long before that, and the twelve barrels roared and turned, spewing out a large number of nine-millimeter shellless rounds.
This small-caliber bullet is not very lethal in the face of huge mechs, but it is effective as a missile interception weapon. With the appearance of the iron curtain in the sky, two battle axes exploded at the same time.
Still failed to hurt Renault in the slightest, to the point of emptying half a box of nine-millimeter shellless bullets in an instant, which was the result of Renault's conscious lowering of the rate of fire.
Renault's heart ached.
Can't let this loser go on any longer, Renault put away the cannon, didn't retreat, raised his lightsaber and rushed towards the opponent, while propping up the energy shield, and aiming the yang electron cannon on his shoulder at the opponent.
The opponent was obviously also distressed by the loss of missiles, and when he saw Renault rushing over, perhaps he felt that there was no need for a missile attack, so he finally stopped the missile launch, and also brandished a light knife to meet it, and opened fire on his left cannon, completely ignoring the rotating electron cannon.
Like the first loser, he thought that Renault's positive electron cannon was just a decoration and could not be effective, but instead of lowering the strength of the energy shield, he deployed it in full swing.
This made the Yang Electron Cannon hit the opponent solidly, but it only caused a huge consumption of the opponent's energy, and failed to form essential damage. On the contrary, it was the opponent's round of bullets that also had a great impact on Renault's energy shield.
Faced with this situation, Renault had to pick up two Tomahawks.
The contestant obviously didn't expect Renault to have a Tomahawk after the Yang electronic cannon, and it was fired at such a close distance.
He couldn't dodge a single shot.
Two Tomahawk missiles with an attack strength of twelve S&P sent the mech directly into the air, exploding a brilliant light in the air, followed by the stormy attack of the 12-millimeter armor-piercing projectile.
When the mecha landed, the defensive shield with limited energy was completely broken, and at the same time, there were multiple damages on the mecha, and finally no fatal injuries were received.
But the next moment, Renault had already swung his lightsaber and slashed down, and the contestant lay on the ground and had no time to dodge, but his reaction was not slow, and the light knife in his hand twisted, stabbing Renault back, and posing as if he was going to die together. If it's a real person fighting for your life, this desperate technique is effective, but in mecha fighting, sometimes it's useless to fight hard.
When he swung the knife, he found that due to the exhaustion of energy, the light knife in his hand was basically powerless. Renault completely ignored the sword, allowing him to stab at his own shield, his lightsaber slashing down.
The sword slashed at the mecha's central controller, directly penetrating the entire controller, and with a spark erupting, the mecha completely lost its ability to function.
"You've lost." Renault said.
