Chapter 1145: Trapped Beast

The one who walked out of the flames was of course the Ant King. His appearance at this time could no longer be described as miserable.

Most of the Ant King's tail had disappeared. This was blasted by the Destruction Finger. This tail was a very important attack method for the Ant King, and this thing was connected to the Ant King's spine. Suddenly losing his tail would make the Ant King lose his sense of balance in a short time.

If compared to the injuries in other positions, the injury to the tail was within an acceptable range. At this moment, the Ant King's most serious injury was his head.

Su Xiao had given the Ant King a shot in the head before. That shot shattered one-third of the Ant King's head shell. Now, after taking this fire attribute elemental bullet, the Ant King directly bid farewell to his "dome hat." Now he was bald.

Sometimes being bald couldn't make one stronger, just like the current Ant King. The bullet just now was actually flicked away by the shell on his head; otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as "removing" the dome hat.

The Ant King pressed his hand on his head to extinguish the heat on his head.

"Two layers of skull?"

Su Xiao observed the Ant King through the scope. After pulling the bolt, he loaded a lightning attribute elemental bullet into the chamber.

The Ant King was not lightly injured, but now was definitely not a good opportunity to rush up, or rather, any time was fine, except now.

The Ant King had already felt the threat of death. The current Ant King was a trapped beast. In this life-and-death crisis, he would use every method to escape, or drag a few people down with him.

Besieging the Ant King until now, the most dangerous stage had arrived: a trapped beast fighting.

As long as this stage was passed, the Ant King would enter a weak stage. That was the good opportunity to rush up for melee combat.

Because Shui used the frost giant to forcibly freeze the Ant King, the frost giant couldn't recover in a short time.

This was very awkward. As long as Shui wasn't brain-damaged, she wouldn't go for melee combat with the Ant King now. Lao Yan was also basically impossible to go up. As for Chairman Netero, he also retreated a few seconds ago.

It was true that the Chairman perished together with the Ant King in the original work, but don't think the Chairman was cannon fodder, willing to rush up to die at any time.

In the original work, the Chairman chose to perish together out of helplessness. Now the situation was clearly that the Ant King could be solved without paying a tragic price. Why would he risk his life? Knowing the Chairman's current physical state, he could live for decades more without any problem. If he could break through himself again during this period, it was not impossible for him to recover his original strength.

The Ant King just wanted to fight like a trapped beast, but he suddenly found that all the humans besieging him had retreated and began to surround him from afar.

"Opportunity."

The Ant King immediately understood the current situation. He endured the burning sensation on his head, and large cracks appeared under his feet as he bent down.

"Still not changing this obvious charging posture after taking a shot."

Su Xiao was chewing gum while adjusting the magnification of the scope. For predictive shooting, a lower magnification had a higher success rate, and the field of view was larger.

If it were Su Xiao's former marksmanship, he would definitely not be able to hit the Ant King through prediction. Now it was different. The Duke of Silence's embedded effect "Balance" increased his firearm proficiency to the specialization level, a full tier jump.

Su Xiao stood up from the ground and placed the Duke of Silence on a pre-prepared support. Judging from the current situation, his subsequent shots would all be predictive shots. Opportunities like hitting a "fixed target" before would not happen again.

The Ant King disappeared from where he was. Su Xiao immediately turned the muzzle and pulled the trigger by feeling.

Bang!

The gunshot spread far away before dissipating, replaced by a roar. It was the Ant King crashing into the ground, and large pieces of mud flew high.

This shot hit the Ant King's thigh. The lightning attribute elemental bullet had an extremely fast speed and strong penetrating power, directly hitting a bowl-thick hole in the Ant King's leg.

After firing this shot, Su Xiao obtained an important piece of information: the elemental bullet (Lightning) was not suitable for the current stage. The Duke of Silence's bullets were defaulted to armor-piercing bullets, and the penetrating power was already strong enough. Now the lightning attribute was icing on the cake, not charcoal in the snow.

But the elemental bullet (Lightning) was not useless. When the Duke of Silence's attack power couldn't meet Su Xiao's needs, Su Xiao could just exchange for elemental bullets (Lightning) to make up for the attack power with penetrating power.

Su Xiao shot through the Ant King's leg, which made Shui and Lao Yan look at him with strange eyes. The two almost had a thought in their hearts at the same time: what if that gun was aimed at them?

Chen also felt empty at the same time. Compared to Shui and Lao Yan, his small body was more fragile. After taking such a shot, he would leave very peacefully, without even needing an urn, directly turning into minced meat and returning to the embrace of Mother Earth.

Would Su Xiao snipe Chen and the others? The answer was of course not. Not to mention the three's life-saving means, even if the three were sniped, what could happen? Swallow the Ant King's heart alone?

Sniping Chen and the others was almost the stupidest choice. There were still more than a hundred contractors around the courtyard. Even if Lao Yan and the others died, these people would definitely swarm up after the Ant King died.

If they could kill the Ant King, the four of Su Xiao would indeed snatch the Ant King's heart. Just like what Lao Yan said, snatching the heart depended on one's ability. This actually expressed another meaning: if any of the four snatched the heart, it was best to divide it into three small pieces. This was the bottom line for the longest cooperation in the later stage.

Those who snatched it would eat meat, and those who didn't would drink soup. The reason for doing this was to prevent being besieged by those hundred-plus contractors. If the four of Su Xiao fought on their own, those contractors would definitely dare to besiege any one of the four.

If the four maintained cooperation, those contractors wouldn't dare to besiege them again. Moreover, the benefits obtained after snatching the Ant King's heart were closely related to these hundred-plus contractors.

The amount of Ant King's heart obtained was not the more the better. There was an upper limit. After exceeding this upper limit, even if more heart was obtained, it would be useless.

The reason why the Ant King's heart was valuable was that this thing was very popular in the Hunter World. With it, one could be exempted from forced execution. Those contractors who hadn't obtained the Ant King's heart would definitely be willing to cut meat to buy this thing.

Because they were in a derivative world, the contractors didn't have many Paradise Coins, but they had treasure chests, freshly baked equipment, precious materials, and even Soul Crystals that they hadn't had time to use.

As long as they had the Ant King's heart, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they could sit and collect money. But before that, they had to solve the Ant King first.

Su Xiao's breathing was very slow. He stopped chewing in his mouth and immediately loaded the last elemental bullet (Dark) into the chamber.

The Ant King, with a shot in his leg, crouched on the ground. A bullet flew over.

The Ant King subconsciously tilted his body, and the bullet flew past the Ant King's side, finally sinking into the mud.

The Ant King was very puzzled. He was puzzled why this attack was so weak. In fact, Su Xiao didn't fire at all. This was a shot fired by another sniper. ===== CHAPTER 1146 =====
