As expected, although the Marvel Sniper Rifle was constantly being fired, it didn't malfunction.
Clearly, even things containing precision components become hard to damage once they reach the Marvel level.
Unless broken by external force, or if used too frequently.
[Marvel·Killing Sniper Rifle Lv.11: 6439/14 (Effective range 1000 meters, scope multiplier follows effective range; anything below level eleven will be killed if hit in a vital spot by a bullet; can be upgraded)]
'Over six thousand experience... It seems it can't be upgraded to level twenty-one, otherwise this Killing Trait might be useful tomorrow, even if the level of the Celestial Drought Fiend is high...'
Yang Yuan glanced at the sniper rifle's stats and then began upgrading.
...
[Marvel·Killing Sniper Rifle Lv.12: 6425/28 (Effective range 2000 meters, scope multiplier follows effective range; anything below level eleven will be killed if hit in a vital spot by a bullet; can be upgraded)]
'Killing level doesn't increase with the sniper rifle's level upgrade?'
Yang Yuan frowned slightly, then continued to upgrade.
...
[Marvel·Killing Sniper Rifle Lv.18: 4661/1792 (Effective range 200,000 meters... can be upgraded)]
...
[Marvel·Killing Sniper Rifle Lv.19: 2869/3584 (Effective range 400,000 meters... cannot be upgraded)]
'Level nineteen, a range of 400 kilometers... Tsk, not bad, too bad the sniper rifle is too loud, next time I'll see if I can get one with a silencer.'
"Roar—"
Suddenly a low roar came from the distance, like a lurking monster was emerging.
Yang Yuan squinted his eyes, looked up towards the direction of the sound, and found that it seemed to originate from within the Ancient Ruins.
And this time period was exactly when those eerie presences would appear in the Ancient Ruins.
He flashed to the outside of the factory, gently tapping his foot to leap onto the factory roof, looking in that direction.
In the night, a gigantic creature composed of numerous humanoid figures rose up, roaring into the distance.
But the roar seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh..."
Several figures shot over from the distance, surprisingly it was Zhang Peng, Tan Zhiming, and six others.
"Big Bro, you came too."
"Big Bro, that monster won't rush out, right?"
"Big Bro, is there a way to suppress that monster? Scared the hell out of us!"
As soon as Tan Zhiming and the others arrived, they babbled on, all while looking fearfully at the giant creature above the ruins of the Ancient Ruins.
Of course, it was nighttime, and it wasn't actually ruins, but a large stretch of Otherworld-style buildings.
However, there were no shoppers inside anymore, all combined into a super figure, roaring into the distance.
And that direction was exactly where the Drought Fiend was located.
Tan Zhiming and the others thought of their previous task inside and felt a bit nervous.
Luckily, that thing doesn't appear during the day, otherwise, it would be truly terrifying.
Yang Yuan ignored these guys; if he could suppress such things, he wouldn't still be here.
There were other superpower users who had reached the human level on nearby safe zone rooftops, looking at the gigantic creature kilometers away with tingling scalps.
At this time, Jia Weixin also came up.
"Uncle..."
Zhang Peng urgently called out, "Is Xiao Nan alright?"
Jia Weixin coldly glanced at Zhang Peng, not answering, instead saying to Yang Yuan, "We previously speculated that those eerie things were part of a whole, didn't expect this thing to be so powerful; luckily it's sealed by some force within the bounds of that ruin complex, can't come out."
Zhang Peng was relieved that his uncle ignored him, judging by his calmness, his cousin must be fine.
Otherwise, with his love for her, he'd certainly have gone mad.
Yang Yuan listened to Jia Weixin, first looking serious, but then seemed to think of something, smiling, "Exactly, the upcoming battle might produce strong shock waves, with this thing in front of us, we'll be much safer."
Jia Weixin's eyes brightened, "Indeed. But once day breaks, it will disappear, when will you take action?"
"What... Big Bro intends to attack the Drought Fiend?"
"What the hell, Big Bro, are you serious?"
Tan Zhiming and the others were stunned by their conversation, looking at Yang Yuan in disbelief.
The other nearby superpower users who heard their conversation also looked over in astonishment.
Yang Yuan ignored these people, glanced at his Firepower Flying Disc, calculated internally, then said, "Before dawn."
Jia Weixin nodded, just about to speak when his ear twitched, then his expression changed drastically, "Not good, that Drought Fiend seems provoked by the creature in front, it seems to be accelerating."
"Accelerating?" Yang Yuan's heart sank.
Zhang Peng and the others turned pale at the words.
Jia Weixin's face suddenly turned grim, "Originally, the Drought Fiend's route was to pass 80 kilometers away from us, but now, it may head straight here."
As he spoke, he looked at Yang Yuan with a serious expression, "We'll do everything we can to delay it, keep it from getting too close, the rest is up to you!"
After speaking, he quickly left.
Once he left, Zhang Peng and the familiar superpower users quickly gathered around.
"Big Bro, are you really going to take action against the Drought Fiend?"
"Seriously? Big Bro, isn't that Drought Fiend likely a True Drought Fiend from the Ancient Ruins?"
"As expected of Big Bro, impressive, I wouldn't even dare imagine!"
"Indeed, I heard that monster is a Celestial-level Creature..."
Tan Zhiming and the seven superpower users looked at Yang Yuan admiringly, regardless of the outcome, his courage to take action was enough to earn their respect.
'Was it really this thing that tried to ambush me before? Why does it feel like it lacks intelligence?'
Yang Yuan ignored Tan Zhiming and the others, deeply observing the grotesque distortion composed of countless humanoid eeriness, then turned and left.
"As expected of Big Bro, so aloof, doesn't even acknowledge us."
"Total Big Bro style..."
Tan Zhiming and the others, having received no response, hastily laughed off their own awkwardness.
However, after speaking, they became nervous.
Because if the Drought Fiend approached, or fought with the creature in front, what would they do?
They couldn't run, does it mean waiting for death?
Every superpower user who climbed the roof and heard Jia Weixin and Yang Yuan's conversation was in a panic, scurrying like ants in a hot pan.
The ordinary people all complied with the military's arrangements, but superpower users... especially those who reached the human level, had a certain degree of freedom, all wanting to escape at this moment; sadly, there was nowhere to run.
Not to mention the space here is isolated from the outside, the unbearable high temperatures outside the safety zone, is like a barrier, keeping them firmly within.
