Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 145: Chapter 127: The True Wild Hunt (Part 2)

”Is that all you’ve got? The reactor’s energy reaching the atmosphere should be no problem.”

The next moment, a sense of alertness emerged in Gao Gong’s heart, as he saw the tentacle being flung, its tip pointing directly at him, a dangerous light flashing.

Without much hesitation, ’Bullet Time’ was activated once again, the figure overlapped within three meters.

Dozens of Solidification Energy Guns flashed and vanished within the Phantom.

Some of these Solidification Energy Guns disappeared into the sky, some pierced the ground, creating the effect of open-ground missiles, some fell into the abandoned building nearby, the violent shockwave directly severing half of the building.

In low-level civilizations, that is civilizations below Level 3, energy weapons are divided into two types. One is laser weapons, which are standard weapons for Level 2 and 3 civilizations and are also very common among interstellar mercenaries and Star Thief Groups, possessing all the traits of energy weapons.

The other type is ’Solidified Energy Weapons.’

Planet creatures, namely monsters below level 60, have grown energy organs under the ghostly craftsmanship of nature, but the planetary level of skill eventually has its limits, the precise components of energy weapons ultimately cannot be ’chiseled’ out.

Therefore, a special evolutionary branch appears in creatures, called ’Solidified Energy Weapons,’ forming a throwing weapon by solidifying energy through special means.

Moreover, because energy is ultimately not a stable structure, it cannot be launched in segmented style like an intercontinental missile, causing its speed to be controlled under 10 mach.

However, at close range, its explosive power far exceeds that of guided weapons.

Even within the aftermath range, the damage reaches thousands of points, a standard hit-and-you’re-dead, touched-and-you’re-dead.

Gao Gong did not hesitate, allocating 7 free attribute points to Perception.

Perception successfully reached 56 points.

[Your Perception has reached 50 points, obtaining Neural System Enhancement]

[Please choose three enhancement directions, Chain-like Neural Distribution, High-Energy Nerve Bundle, Neural Manipulation]

’Chain-like Neural Distribution’ is a neural radar, ten times more efficient than ordinary radar.

’High-Energy Nerve Bundle’ is a must-have attribute for special professions in some civilizations, such as Jedi Knights; slicing lasers come from this.

’Neural Manipulation’ is in the direction of biological control, similar to a Great Brain.

Almost without hesitation, Gao Gong chose ’Chain-like Neural Distribution.’

The next moment, Gao Gong felt countless eyeballs grow all over his body, these ’eyeballs’ extending in a straight line from their perspective outward, forming strings of ’strand beads,’ which together become a ranged neural network.

The next moment, Gao Gong deliberately did not use ’Bullet Time,’ his figure suddenly paused, a Black Shadow flashed past his nose, and a terrifying explosion sounded in the distance.

’Three mach, no, close to four mach.’

’Still quite adept.’

However, when Gao Gong ’saw’ the Crimson Empress holding a crimson spear, coldly staring at him, without another word, ’Bullet Time,’ here we go!

The sound burst no longer resembled an old-fashioned popcorn machine, but a drawn-out line, outside you couldn’t even hear the sound, yet if you approached this white line, the intense vibration could directly rupture your eardrums.

’Ordinary energy spears are four mach, but hand-crafted energy spears can reach eight mach, terrifying.’

Gao Gong also understood that the Crimson Empress in normal state, her craftsmanship with spears was only half of now, after all, in normal state, among A-level monsters, she’s not necessarily the strongest, could only be considered as an ordinary leader of black and evil forces, but if the Beast Tide is successfully stirred up, she can be promoted to the level of ’regional manager’ big monster, officially start a career in pyramid schemes.

After confirming the opponent’s attack intensity, Gao Gong’s counterattack also began. Besides the energy pillar from the reactor on his chest, the ’energy jets’ on every part of his body also spewed out high-temperature particle streams, every time the radiance lit up in the sky, part of a tentacle would be severed, or a big Black Hole would be burned through it.

It’s worth mentioning that just like the Radiation Energy Gun, ’high-temperature particle stream’ is also not considered a Level 2 energy weapon, damage ’only’ reaches three to four thousand, not possessing the characteristic of energy weapon ’energy compression,’ naturally lacking its piercing ability.

Although both specialized in ’melee,’ they both chose distant warfare uniquely.

Apart from the trend that kinetic energy weapons are replaced by energy weapons, there’s also that for monsters with strong recovery abilities like them, critical attacks, Weakness Attacks aren’t very useful anymore.

Instead, through carelessness, they might be invaded internally by the opponent.

Gao Gong used this trick to put down the Demon Mountain.

The Crimson Empress presumably also used this trick to deal with quite a few strong Radiation Beasts.

Both are old foxes, who still wouldn’t know how to flirt?

The real battle is at the Beast Tide level.

Mr. Xiao and that Mr. Matsumoto kept an eye on the battlefield at all times. Apart from the dazzling combat scene of one man and one beast, they also gradually discovered that the sky seemed to undergo dramatic changes.

A round of Radiation Sun suddenly appeared, the high-temperature radiation shining brightly, yet very next moment like a celestial dog eating sun, it was torn and consumed by formless celestial dog, quickly devoured clean.

The next moment, a loud thunderous roar, the sky seemed sliced in half by a knife, massive cracks appeared on the white sky.

Then under the effect of Beast Tide power, this crack quickly healed over.

And with the intense radiation waves, first drizzle, then the rain became heavier.
