Chapter 349: Bait

Kalifa's brows were tightly locked, and she subconsciously took a step back.

"You are sexually harassing."

"The one at the Water 7 banquet was."

Su Xiao looked at Kalifa and quickly withdrew his gaze.

"What is your purpose."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. He was observing the situation near the drawbridge through the scope.

"Hey, I'm talking to you."

Kalifa looked at Su Xiao with displeasure. Su Xiao still didn't pay attention to the other party. 【34

"You guy..."

Kalifa stopped mid-sentence. Su Xiao was looking at her with a smile on his face. Seeing that gentle smile, Kalifa felt a tingling sensation across her scalp.

"I've recently invented a new type of bomb. Would you like to taste it? It's strawberry-flavored."

Kalifa retreated several steps and assumed a combat stance; she had a phobia of alchemy bombs.

"You can choose to watch the door or leave; in any case, don't disturb me."

Just as Su Xiao was observing the situation near the lift bridge, a man wearing forest combat gear was lying on the roof of a tall building on the front island. He was clutching a sniper rifle and didn't dare to show his head.

This sniper looked toward the Judicial Tower with lingering fear, having witnessed the previous scene.

"To actually take one down with two shots, that sniper rifle must be at least of purple quality."

Greed welled up in the sniper's eyes, but it quickly faded. He glanced at the blue-quality sniper rifle in his hands; if they were to trade shots, he probably wouldn't last five minutes.

This badly frightened sniper chose to hunker down and wait for an opportunity.

"Sigh, this is the real big shot. He doesn't even hide his position while sniping; he's completely a turret."

The sniper sighed, admiring Su Xiao's open and aboveboard sniping tactics—not hiding, just directly suppressing the enemy so they couldn't lift their heads.

Little did he know, Su Xiao didn't bother looking for sniping spots at all. Su Xiao's idea was to find a high point and shoot when enemies arrived; as for the enemy's firepower, he didn't care at all if he took a few hits.

On the roof of the Judicial Tower, Su Xiao observed for a while and found that no other Qiyuezhe were coming.

"Xiang Bubu, get ready to go down and pick up the items."

Su Xiao wrapped the World Severing Line around the small saddle on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's back. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang needed to carry this during combat so that if things went south, the man and dog could run away.

Su Xiao prepared to lower Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang down, and after Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang collected all the Scarlet Cards, he would pull Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang back up using the World Severing Line.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was very helpless. Looking at the height of several dozen meters below, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang whimpered, his gaze seemingly saying: 'Master, I'm afraid of heights, can I not go down?'

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang made his final resistance.

"Be obedient, and when there's a chance later, I'll take you to find a pretty little female dog."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eyes lit up, his head lifted, and his fear of heights vanished instantly; Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang didn't want to be a single dog.

Just as Su Xiao was about to lower Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, he suddenly noticed a black shadow flickering in the distance.

Quickly picking up the sniper rifle and looking through the scope, Su Xiao saw four sneaky Qiyuezhe.

The four Qiyuezhe were peeking and looking around from behind a building—two men and two women.

A petite girl said timidly: "Let's just go, this is clearly a trap. Look at how miserably these people died."

After saying this, the girl hugged her shoulders with both hands.

"Yeah, this is too terrifying. Four Scarlet Cards and two Soul Crystals, and no one is picking them up."

A student girl also wanted to leave, her gaze turning toward the leader of the four; this was a small adventure group.

"We clearly can't get to the Judicial Tower, and leaving like this is too heavy a loss. Our total Paradise Coins add up to less than 60,000; we'll definitely be penalized."

The squad leader was a middle-aged fatty. The fatty was wearing iron armor all over and holding a shield in his hand.

"You guys stay here, I'll go pick up the items, and then I'll run back."

The middle-aged fatty gave a lecherous smile. Looting enemy spoils was a very satisfying thing. He had already guessed there was a sniper on the Judicial Tower, but he had a shield, and his defensive equipment was all green to blue quality, and his stamina attribute was also very high.

"B-better not go."

The student girl felt an ominous feeling; it was too quiet around them.

"I must go. The people from the God Emperor Adventure Group and the Phantom Troupe are all behind us. We can't fight those people. Once we grab the items, we'll jump into the sea over there to escape. We're already being caught in a pincer attack here."

After leaving these words, the middle-aged fatty raised his shield and walked out of the cover. His primary target was the Soul Crystal (Small) on the grass.

Scarlet Cards might not yield good items, but Soul Crystals were in-demand supplies, useful whether used personally or sold.

Su Xiao, on top of the Judicial Tower, placed his finger on the trigger. It didn't matter if the opponent came out with a shield; if a few shots couldn't solve it, then a dozen would.

The middle-aged fatty slowly moved forward, getting closer and closer to the Soul Crystal on the ground.

Six meters, four meters, three meters.

The closer he got to the Soul Crystal, the tighter the middle-aged fatty gripped the shield in his hand.

Su Xiao lightly squeezed the trigger, and the Spider Queen emitted a faint gunshot.

Bang.

The bullet left the chamber, shooting at ultra-high speed toward the shield the middle-aged fatty was holding in front of him.

Ding!

The bullet was deflected, and the middle-aged fatty was knocked back half a meter, landing on his butt.

"How could there be such strong kinetic energy?"

The middle-aged fatty's hands went numb. Looking at the shield that was already dented inward, his first reaction was to retreat behind cover.

Unfortunately, it was too late; greed is the original sin.

Bang, bang, bang...

Su Xiao pulled the trigger continuously. Bullets the length of an index finger struck the shield, sparks flying everywhere. Dents appeared on the shield, and the middle-aged fatty was plowed back several meters.

When the gunfire stopped, the middle-aged fatty's palms were completely split, and his left wrist was twisted and deformed.

"Captain!"

The student girl shouted from behind the building, peeking out.

Crackle, cement splattered everywhere. The student girl quickly pulled her head back, several bloodstains appearing on her cheek.

"C-can the captain still come back?"

The delicate girl already had tears in her eyes. No one answered her; their captain might not be coming back.

Bang, bang...

The gunfire continued. After taking over a dozen shots, the middle-aged fatty could no longer hold onto the shield. The shield was knocked away, and multiple fractures appeared in the bones of his arms.

With his body directly exposed to the enemy's muzzle, the middle-aged fatty knew it was over.

Pop, pop, blood mist splattered. One of the middle-aged fatty's legs and his chest were pierced through, and the gunfire ceased.

The middle-aged fatty crawled arduously on the ground, leaving a trail of blood behind him. He wanted to crawl back behind cover, and the student girl rushed out of the cover, wanting to drag the middle-aged fatty back.

"Don't come over! This is a trap. The enemy is doing this on purpose; many perverted snipers use wounded people to lure enemies."

The middle-aged fatty shouted, but the student girl ran forward regardless.

Su Xiao was not a perverted sniper; he was just out of bullets, which was very awkward.

Quickly ejecting the magazine and loading three bullets, Su Xiao inserted the magazine back, stylishly pulled the bolt, and aimed the scope at the student girl.

The student girl had already dragged the middle-aged fatty quite a distance and was about to enter cover.

Bang, a bullet pierced through the student girl's shoulder, and one of her arms was directly blown off. The student girl collapsed onto the middle-aged fatty.

Just as Su Xiao was about to finish the two off, two more people rushed out from behind the building.

Bang, bang. After two shots, one was taken down, and one bullet missed; a male Qiyuezhe escaped unscathed.

Su Xiao immediately loaded bullets, but that male Qiyuezhe actually disregarded his own life, throwing the three wounded people behind the building. His expression seemed to be struggling; it felt as if this wasn't his own will.

Su Xiao quickly loaded a bullet and aimed the muzzle at the male Qiyuezhe.

Bang, a headshot! Su Xiao frowned; this was not a Qiyuezhe.

Behind the building, it became silent. No need to think, those three were hiding behind it.

"Huluwa saving his grandfather, sending them one by one, but the friendship is very deep."

Su Xiao unhurriedly ejected the magazine and began loading bullets.

Behind the building, the middle-aged fatty gasped for air. He had never imagined there could be such a terrifying sniper; how strong could that kind of bullet be?

"Captain, Soichiro is dead. It seems I need to create a new summon. I didn't expect the forced control to actually succeed. Since it failed before, I had to rush out myself."

Although the student girl had her arm broken, she was smiling. Her teammates hadn't died, only a summon had.

"Find a place to jump into the sea and escape. Sure enough, we aren't qualified to go to the Judicial Tower. I was too greedy; I didn't choose to reap benefits on the front island, but instead thought of getting rich overnight at the Judicial Tower."

The three Qiyuezhe helped each other leave. Today they had learned a bloody lesson: one cannot be greedy.

Su Xiao waited for a while, and after finding no movement, he knew those Qiyuezhe had left. He let Xiang Bubu Te Ni down, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang happily picked up the four Scarlet Cards, Soul Crystals x2, and a 6,000-point Paradise Coin savings card.

When Su Xiao pulled Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang up, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's mouth was stuffed full, his cheeks bulging high, just like a gluttonous hamster.

Putting away the Scarlet Cards and Soul Crystals, he used the Paradise Coin savings card directly.

"Robin, we've come to save you!"

A loud shout came from the roof closest to the Judicial Tower on the main island.

Su Xiao looked closely; wasn't this Monkey D. Luffy? He raised his sniper rifle and fired a shot directly.

Bang.

Luffy flew backward several meters, disappearing from the edge of the roof. He stopped after rolling on the ground a few times.

The Spider Queen's bullets were special ammunition with extremely high speed. Su Xiao felt he couldn't dodge them, and now it seemed that even the plot protagonist Luffy couldn't dodge them either.

Luffy's body wasn't pierced through; after all, he was a Rubber Fruit user, and his body had strong elasticity, which could mitigate the bullet's kinetic energy, but bloodstains appeared on his shoulder.

Luffy was a bit stunned by this shot. Not only was Luffy stunned, but the CP9 leader Spandam inside the Judicial Tower was also stunned. He had just heard someone shouting, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find anyone.

"What the hell."

Just as Spandam turned his head, a shout came from outside again.

"Who ambushed me!"

It was Luffy's shout again.

Bang! A faint gunshot.

Spandam turned his head to look out the window, still seeing no one...
