Chapter 776: I

That's about right!

Su Yang saw his timely awareness and nodded with satisfaction.

He then looked at Ji Huai, who was checking the Shovel's stability, and said, "Ji Da Ge, could you outline the action plan?"

Ji Huai closed one eye to examine the Shovel's curvature and replied, "Walnut Pliers has no eyes on its back, so it can be attacked from behind."

"But someone needs to draw the hatred."

The meaning is clear.

We need a cannon fodder.

And according to him, the only candidate is Su Yang.

"You want my flesh to block a Bullet?" Su Yang furrowed his Brow.

"Of course not. Walnut Pliers does have a wide Vision Perception, but it can only look straight ahead at what's in front of it, which can be understood as half of a normal person's Vision Perception," Ji Huai explained.

"In what way is it half?"

"A normal person's horizontal field ranges from 180 to 200 degrees; the vertical field is about 60 degrees upward and 70 degrees downward. Walnut Pliers' horizontal field is the same as a normal person's, but its vertical field is only half that of a normal person."

"Vertical?"

Su Yang rubbed his chin, pondering for a while.

That means in its Vision Perception, the lower half is dark.

Facing it head‑on, you only need to hide in its blind spot to launch a surprise attack.

Ji Huai seemed to read his thoughts and said, "Cheating won't work; Walnut Pliers constantly maintains a moving posture, and if you try to strike from beneath its Foot, it will inevitably kick you to death."

"Besides the Shotgun in your hand, can it also kick people?" Su Yang suddenly became interested in the discussion.

Su Qi hadn't mentioned that point to him.

Thus his first reaction was that Ji Huai was being alarmist.

But seeing his serious Divine expression, it didn't seem like bragging.

Ji Huai nodded solemnly, "Compared with a Bullet, its leg technique is equally formidable; a single kick can fling a person thirty meters!"

Thirty…

Meters?!

Everyone gasped in unison, "Is this damn thing still a puppet?"

"A living war Machine, perhaps?!"

At that moment, Su Yang glanced at Su Qi, who gave a barely perceptible nod.

"What about the side?" Su Yang asked again.

"I already said Walnut Pliers' horizontal Vision Perception is the same as a normal person's; once peripheral vision catches it, it will instantly turn and pull the trigger," Ji Huai said.

"So…" Su Yang mused, then continued, "…while luring its hatred, we also need to make it stop moving and hide in its Vision Perception blind spot?"

"Exactly." Ji Huai nodded.

"Listen to yourself; is this possible?" Lu Zhiwei exclaimed, finding it absurd.

Monsters lack independent thinking ability and act only on instinct.

But the three conditions Su Yang described must all be met, and that is overly stringent.

First, the hatred‑drawing part aside, the distance between them must be at least fifty meters.

Even sprinting at full speed under this Planet's Gravity limit, that distance takes two or three seconds.

No matter how fast you run, can you outrun a Bullet?

Second, if you want it to stop moving, another condition must be met, which is—

When you fire the Shotgun!

Even if you luckily satisfy the first two, the final vision‑blocking condition still requires a proper timing.

If any slight mistake occurs, the person drawing hatred will either be blown apart or kicked to death.

And moreover…

Walnut Pliers takes three Shovels to die, which means the front person must repeatedly fire the gun back and forth.

The danger level is self‑evident.

Without corresponding Innate Talent assistance, the danger coefficient approaches a direct clash with a Forest Giant.

"Nothing is impossible; as long as you seize the timing, Walnut Pliers is just a brainless fixed turret," Ji Huai said.

"Sounds nicer than it is. Then why don't you be the cannon fodder?" Lu Zhiwei hummed discontentedly.

"I'm not very confident alone, but with two people I'm sure we can butcher it," Ji Huai adjusted his glasses.

"I'm asking why you don't be the fodder; who's asking about your success rate?" Lu Zhiwei said irritably.

"I could do it too; it all depends on Su Laodie's choice." Ji Huai stated plainly.

At that moment, Lu Zhiwei immediately pulled Su Yang aside and whispered, "What's your take?"

"I don't mind being cannon fodder; clearing obstacles for the team is more important," Su Yang said.

"Cut the act," Lu Zhiwei narrowed her brows, "Seriously, I think that guy with the surname Ji has only bad water in his belly; be careful!"

"He's a thousand‑year‑old old Fox, but I'm not a good‑natured pushover either." Su Yang said slowly.

"I think it's safer for you to handle killing Walnut Pliers; the risk of drawing hatred is too great," Lu Zhiwei suggested.

"On the contrary, if you think that way, you've hit his weak spot exactly," Su Yang shook his head.

"Is there any other trick inside?" Lu Zhiwei asked curiously.

Su Yang's eyes flickered as he said, "The one who truly controls the risk is the cannon fodder; think carefully and you'll understand—once hatred loses Vision Perception, what will Walnut Pliers do?"

Lu Zhiwei's eyes shifted, hesitating, "Everything resets?"

"Walnut Pliers has its own patrol logic—you just heard it. This creature needs three Shovels to be killed; the process is full of uncertainty, and only the cannon fodder can command its own fate," Su Yang explained.

"But if, by any chance, he points the spear at you…"

"Heh, if he truly has that thought, who is scheming against whom is still up in the air."

Lu Zhiwei looked at Su Yang for a long while, finally managed to get out three words: "You're really bad!"

Su Yang saw her puffed Cheek and couldn't help pinch it, "Relax, I'm not that easy to die."

Lu Zhiwei brushed away his 'evil' hand, "Be very careful."

Su Yang glanced at Su Qi and nodded at her.

Then, back at the Gate, he said: "Ji Da Ge, you must aim carefully, don't accidentally hurt me."

"I have four eyes, how could I misjudge." Ji Huai smiled faintly.

Su Yang took the Shovel from Lu Zhiwei's hand and said: "I'll add insurance for myself, no problem?"

"Of course, if I have an accident, you should be able to take on this Task and complete it on your own." Ji Huai nodded.

"Alright, get ready; the Gate will open in five minutes." Su Yang said.

And so, the two looked away from each other, each busy making their own mental preparations.

Fu Yuan's eyes were full of complexity; he never could have imagined Su Yang would voluntarily volunteer for this arduous Task.

It should be noted that not long ago he had framed two people to death, with no remorse at all.

He has only one evaluation of Su Yang—ruthless and cruel!

Now, however, he's acting contrary to his usual self, making contributions to the team.

If the Walnut Pliers continue to block the path, the way back will inevitably face many uncertain factors.

If luck is a bit off, perhaps one or two players could be harmed.

Fu Yuan's Gene Modification Level is the lowest; if an accident happens, he will inevitably be the first to take the hit.

Thus, he suddenly finds Su Yang's actions a bit incomprehensible.

"This guy… what on earth is he thinking in his Brain?"
