To the Desert Ferocious Tiger, human nature was ever-changing, just like the multidimensional universe, always chaotic and impetuous. Humans were driven by their survival instinct, mating desires, and endless greed, which eventually brought them decline and degeneration. Only destruction and remodeling could bring them sunlight once again.
The Desert Ferocious Tiger's attitude towards humans was like what a matriarch of the house who loved cleaning would do when facing a dab of dirt on her stoveif it met humans, it would obliterate them without any hesitation
BANG
The Desert Ferocious Tiger's punch pounded on the sand ground, setting off a burst of dust and sand. The power then forced Little Tan and Dispirited to back off. Both of them stumbled then jumped backwards. Although they didn't get hit directly, this tremor power had cost them 8% of their Survival Value. Moreover, they even got the sluggish effect for several seconds.
There was loud cheering in the game show studio. It seemed that the audience was much satisfied with the executioner's debut.
"This is thunderbolt striking" Feng Bu Jue held his cheeks, looked at the live streaming video on the screen and muttered, "Got a Transformer as the opponent Little Tan's Bee Sting granted from his title will be useless. Although it has the blood shedding effect, it couldn't be applied to this robot as it could only make some oil leakage." He cocked his head. "Dispirited mostly uses guns. Although bullets are much better than swords, facing this kind of opponent, I'm afraid it would be tough to solve the matter"
At this moment, on the big screen, the Desert Ferocious Tiger had launched its next attack.
Being a robot, it would be a big shame if it didn't respond with firepower while its opponent had shot it already. Two rectangular launching pads had emerged from the outer side of its knees. Swoosh, swoosh. Two missile heads were shot towards Little Tan and Dispirited, who were backing off constantly.
BOOM BOOM
Two small bursting scale explosions had carved two holes on the ground, diffusing a cloud of sand. However, Little Tan and Dispirited didn't get hit. Both of them had successfully dodged the attack, but they still received damage from the shockwaves.
So, such toys like missiles, no matter whether it was the mini type or the intercontinental type, it was only good for attacking big targets; however, it has no way to track down living people. Using the missile wasn't better than using machine gun sweeping through the target.
"Hey! Mr. Yu." Feng Bu Jue switched on the microphone in front of him, lowered his tone then talked to Mr. Yu, who was standing not far from him, "Can I ask something Of what criteria or standard are used in choosing the executioner in the Arena? Is it random? Or is it based on races, numbers or the scores of the players?"
Mr. Yu glared at him and smiled. He didn't use the microphone; he just lowered his tone and answered him, "Just combine all what you've mentioned. Ho, ho, ho. It's based on those two players' competences."
"In other words, if only Player Wang entered the Arena, he wouldn't have to face that guy?" Feng Bu Jue probed
"Ha, ha... Of course. One person and two persons, the total strength will be very different." Mr. Yu gave him the correct answer.
"That's how it is" Feng Bu Jue thought, "No doubt why that fat guy said 'the one on two bloody mission' Seems if only one person enters the Arena, it won't be better. Also, in case there's only one player that goes there, take Like Rain for an example, she will have no advantage since stronger players will meet stronger monsters."
He thought for several seconds. "Yeah, taking into account the Survival Value and Physical Value consumptions, we should arrange to take turns and claim the last rank at each round. That's how we can share the fighting pressure."
"Look! Player Number Four is about to strike back!" Mr.Yu's amplified scream through the microphone had drawn Feng Bu Jue's attention back to the big screen.
On the screen, Dispirited's petite body stormed directly to that giant iron-bone-steel-tendon robot. Moreover, she was holding only one gun in her hand.
Little Tan also didn't know what Dispirited wanted to do. However, he still gathered his guts and ran forward, shooting the Desert Ferocious Tiger constantly to back her up.
Facing the opponents, the Desert Ferocious Tiger didn't retreat but still came forward. It mercilessly swept one of his giant arms towards Dispirited. Dispirited flexibly lay flat on the ground and avoided this attack. She immediately got up and bent down on one knee, positioning her arms to aim for the Desert Ferocious Tiger's chest.
Such short distance accompanied with a colossal target, Dispirited would absolutely not miss it. Also, she wanted to be 100% sure that she could hit the crucial part of the opponent, so she decided to take the risk and come closer, because, she couldn't miss this shot.
Dazzling halo suddenly emitted from her gun, then
Her shot didn't have a corresponding noise. An echoing eagle cry resounded in midair, which was exactly the singing when the brave bird snatched its prey. The bullet shot out from the gun muzzle in the middle of the blazing silver halo turned into a giant Silver-winged Eagle, striking the Desert Ferocious Tiger.
One second later, it looked like the Desert Ferocious Tiger got hit by an RPG warhead at its chest. Together with the bursting effect, the robot, which was six meters tall and several tons heavy, was lifted and fell backwards.
[Name: The Sky-splitting Goshawk]
[Skill Card's attributes: proactive; disappear after one use.]
[Skill Category: Shooting]
[Effects: pour user's spiritual energy into the bullet, making tremendous bursting power and damage to the target (this skill must be launched together with a pistol; moreover, that pistol should have at least one bullet).]
[Consumption: 500 points of Physical Value, 50 points of the highest Spiritual Value]
[Learning Conditions: Shooting Specialty E, Spiritual Specialty F, level 10 or above]
[Remarks: simple, practical skill. If only users have the core knowledge of Spiritual Technique, they can explain well the principles of this skill. The more users spend their Spiritual Value, the more powerful their attack will be. Gunmen with poor physical condition will receive [Paralyzing] status for a short while after using this skill. At the same time, the weapon, which is used to launch this Space Splitting Goshawk, can't be used again within the next 15 minutes.]
This was the skill Dispirited had just used. She got this skill from several scenarios before, learned it already, but didn't have a chance to use it.
Apparently, this skill was like a gambling trick. To her current opponent, Dispirited had decided that it was worth a chance to gamble.
She had precisely analyzed the situation and acted determinedly and effectively. It would be better if she used this skill to determine the result soon rather than saving it and waiting until she was backed into a dead corner. Although she couldn't kill that monster with just one strike, under the circumstances that her Survival Value was still enough, she still had a chance to win this fight.
After Dispirited had struck out her attack, she had to crouch down on the ground, couldn't get up again. She opened her menu to confirm her situation. "Crap I got [Paralyzing] status," she mumbled.
Her opponent, the Desert Ferocious Tiger over there, didn't even pause for one second. It was a robot, so it didn't need to take time and breathe like the mortals after falling on the ground. The shot had left a charred concave spot and some cracks on the tiger stripe pattern on its metal armor. Anyway, the circuit in the robot's head only used a fraction of a second to calculate the damage and reported back to him"Still can move". Then, the robot got up from the ground immediately.
Bang! Bang! Bang
Seeing that the situation had developed into a negative direction, Little Tan was constantly reloading and shooting, running like he was flying forward. However, he still wasn't fast enough.
The iron fist, as big as a fridge, descended from the sky, pounding down on Dispirited. If this strike reached its target, we could use three words to describe the next scene: human, meatball, and halo.
Dispirited was still crouching on the ground; she looked at the massive shadow pressing down on her, but she had no way to resist since her body didn't listen to her anymore. She couldn't even roll aside to dodge. She gritted her teeth, waiting for the oncoming simulated pain.
Right at this moment, a miracle happened.
The Desert Ferocious Tiger's move suddenly slowed down, just like a high-speed camera capturing images. The robot became sluggish as its iron fist was as fast as the speed of a turtle; it looked like it couldn't make a fatal attack.
The audience inside the game show studio burst out exclaiming.
Mr. Yu, apparently, knew what and who. "Wow, ladies and gentlemen! Someone is using the Sand of Time!"
"No, it's just some unpurified dust of time or the low-grade one. The real Sand of Time should work more than that."
The camera shifted, and the audience was surprised figuring out who had just given the comment. It was Hephaestus. It turned out that he could still make some proper comments.
Little Tan was holding the Winchester in one hand while the palm of his other hand was bleeding.
He had no choiceto use the dust, he had to break the jar. However, he was in the middle of sand and soft ground; in such emergency situation, he had no choice but to break the small jar with his bare hand.
The Desert Ferocious Tiger's fist was still approaching, but the delaying effect had given Little Tan time to run towards Dispirited, carry her up and run far away in just one breath.
"Idiot! Where do you want to go? Seize the chance and attack him!" Dispirited shouted to remind him while Little Tan was like Zhu Bajie carrying his wife on his back, running away.
"Ah! Got it!" Little Tan suddenly realized it, dropped his arms and directly threw Dispirited on the ground. Then, he turned around and ran towards the Desert Ferocious Tiger.
Seconds after he had left, Dispirited had recovered her ability to move again. She stood up with a darkened face and brushed off the sand on her face. "This dumbass, later I will make you cry in the Killing Game!" Although she got mad at him, she was still able to consider their current situation. This wasn't a good time to be at loggerheads.
Dispirited took the sniper rifle out of her bag. Within several seconds, she was ready to shoot. Under the circumstance that the Desert Ferocious Tiger was almost motionless, she had chosen the most powerful weapon to attack it.
When Little Tan got to the foot of the Desert Ferocious Tiger, he swiftly climbed up from the extending arm of the other and got to its shoulder.
One moment before the [Largo Quicksand] lost its effect, the muzzle of his Winchester was put on the Desert Ferocious Tiger's head, zero distance. Right when he pulled the trigger, the sound from Dispirited's sniper rifle also echoed.
