Chapter 1706: Ferocious Devouring

At 10:00 PM, the bright moon hung high. The Wild Boar Manor under the moonlight was brightly lit, especially in the banquet hall. Dressed-up men and women were chatting and laughing in the banquet hall. Noble ladies occasionally covered their mouths and chuckled at the witty gentlemen and servants. In the soothing music, pairs of men and women were dancing social dances in the center dance floor, and some were kissing deeply.

"Extravagant life."

A man in a leather jacket and leather boots stepped on a chair with one foot. There were many decorative straps on the leather boots. He raised the goblet in his hand.

"To the Immortal King!"

The man's shout didn't ruin the atmosphere of the banquet, but instead received responses from other guests. Everyone raised their glasses. Some men and women without wine in their hands hurriedly found drinks to raise their glasses with the crowd, seemingly not daring to show any disrespect to the Immortal King.

"Mr. Sin, can I invite you to dance?"

A noble lady in a red dress and charming appearance came to the leather-jacketed man, Sin. Sin glanced at her and shook his head.

"You might die."

"..."

The noble lady in the red dress's smile stiffened, then returned to normal. After a few polite words, she left in a hurry.

Sin, who was called Mr. Sin, drank the blood-red wine in his cup. He raised his hand to touch his chest and took out a pocket watch.

Snap.

The watch cover popped open. Sin's brow furrowed. It was already 10:17 PM, and Poison Sting still hadn't arrived. This was somewhat abnormal. If it weren't for the fact that the "Eye Room" had no problems, he would have sent someone to find Poison Sting.

"Poison Sting wouldn't break an appointment, so..."

Sin sat up straight and hooked his finger at a waiter. The waiter ran to the vicinity.

Half a kilometer from the Wild Boar Manor, on the top floor of an open attic of a church, the night wind was blowing. Su Xiao half-squatted in the attic. He was in front of a window without glass.

At this moment, Su Xiao held a sniper rifle over two meters long. The blue grooves on the gun body were particularly conspicuous, seemingly charged, emitting a deep blue light.

Su Xiao pressed his thumb on the side of the Devouring sniper rifle. After multiple biological identifications, he adjusted this Epic-grade sniper rifle to the hunting mode.

Equipment Effect 2: Hunting Mode (Active), switch to energy-gathering mode, bullet attack power increased by 70%. This is a point-shot mode, requiring re-pulling the bolt after each shot (Hunting mode cannot shrink the gun size, theoretical range is 6750 meters, actual record is 6625 meters).

Pulling the bolt and aiming, this was Su Xiao's first time using 【Devouring】. The magazine capacity of this gun was ten rounds, and the recoil was much smaller than the Silent Duke, but the power was much stronger than the Silent Duke.

When Su Xiao put his head to the scope, a very light blue circle appeared, with a red dot in the center. The field of view was excellent, and various data were in the upper right corner, minimizing the obstruction to the field of view.

Using the scope of Devouring for the first time, Su Xiao's feeling was that the field of view was open and clean, and the sniping experience was imaginable.

Even though it was night now, it was as bright as day in the scope. It wasn't the green night-vision function; everything was its original color. This technology from the Void seemed to drive away the night.

His finger rested on the trigger. Su Xiao took a deep breath, and the world around him gradually quieted down. He could even clearly hear his own heartbeat.

The scope swept over Amu in the manor's pool—a big butt exposed above the water. Suddenly, a claw mark appeared on Amu's butt. It was Bubu Wang, who had blended into the environment. A string of bubbles rose, and Amu lifted its butt to sink it into the water.

Su Xiao's mouth twitched twice. Seeing Amu's appearance, he thought of the pheasants in the snowy winter. When that thing was chased to a dead end, it would stick its head into the snow, thinking that if it couldn't see the hunter, the hunter couldn't see it either.

Turning the muzzle, through the manor's glass window, Su Xiao saw men and women chatting and laughing. These were all Ghouls disguised as humans.

Just as Su Xiao was preparing to find one to headshot, faint red shadows appeared in the scope. These were enemies blocked by the walls. The red shadows moved, also representing the movement of the enemies.

There were 34 enemies in total, which meant 34 Ghouls. Of course, the possibility of them all being elite Ghouls (5–10 eyes are elite Ghouls) wasn't high, but having half of them be elite Ghouls was already very surprising.

Su Xiao locked onto a noble lady in a red dress, and his finger slowly pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The sound of Devouring wasn't too loud, even lower than that of an ordinary sniper rifle. As for the recoil, Su Xiao could completely ignore it; the ground under his feet was intact.

The 12.67mm special energy bullet rotated slowly in the air, piercing through the glass window in an instant, flying to the temple of the noble lady in the red dress. The noble lady in the red dress seemed to notice something, and horror surged in her eyes. However, she only had time to be horrified.

With a crash, broken skull and red-and-white liquid splattered. The bullet shot through the head of the noble lady in the red dress without any obstruction, as simple as breaking a watermelon. The bullet finally disappeared into the ground, leaving only a hole as thick as an arm, emitting blue smoke.

The banquet hall suddenly fell into dead silence. The next moment, over a dozen men and women threw themselves to the ground and leaned against the wall. Clearly, they all had experience in dealing with long-range enemies. Several people even rushed toward the window, their appearance changing rapidly, rushing toward the direction where Su Xiao was.

Bang, bang, bang...

Su Xiao fired six shots in a row, three headshots, two hits on the enemy's torso, and one miss.

In the banquet hall, blood splattered at the window position, and five Ghouls fell, dying miserably. The remaining Ghouls had just prepared to reveal their true forms and fight to the death, but they hurriedly retreated behind cover. Clearly, Ghouls were also afraid of death.

"The enemy is over there."

"Kill them."

"You go."

"Why don't you go?!"

The smell of blood seemed to stimulate the Ghouls in the banquet hall. They revealed their true forms one after another. The Ghouls disguised as males were all very strong after revealing their true forms, with heights between 2.5 and 3 meters. The females were much shorter, similar to human height, relatively thin and weak, but their speed was extremely fast.

Su Xiao was sniping very happily on his side. He experienced the gap between a Gold-grade sniper rifle and an Epic-grade sniper rifle. If he used the Silent Duke, it would be difficult to kill a Ghoul with three shots, while Devouring was one shot per kill. Below ten eyes, one shot would kill them, and hitting the chest would also kill them. As for above ten eyes, it was temporarily unknown.

【You killed a Six-Eye Ghoul, you obtained 0.5 World Source.】

【You killed a Three-Eye Ghoul, you obtained 0.1 World Source.】

【You killed a Five-Eye Ghoul, you obtained 0.3 World Source.】

Prompts appeared one after another. Su Xiao ignored them and tried his best to reduce the number of Ghouls in the banquet hall. These weren't soft persimmons. Once they rushed to the courtyard, it wouldn't be as refreshing as sniping now.

Originally, the banquet hall was a feast for eating people, but now it was a feast of death.

The recoil of Devouring pressed on Su Xiao's shoulder. When he pulled the trigger again, the bullets in the magazine were empty.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind breaking came. Su Xiao picked up Devouring and leaped down from the top of the church.

Sizzle~

Green electric arcs flashed, and the entire church twisted instantly. That's right, it twisted. This building was like sugarcane that had been chewed, and some parts had even weathered.

In the banquet hall, a Ghoul that still maintained a human form stood in front of the window. He held a green energy beam nearly three meters long. It was the Ghoul known as Sin.

Half a kilometer apart, Su Xiao and Sin looked at each other. Confirmed the look, either you die or I die. ===== CHAPTER 1707 =====
