Chapter 288: The Second Giant Creature, Killed!_2
"Screw you." Lin Yue cursed and rushed to the doorway at top speed.
At this moment, the monster was still wildly shaking its head under the mental and physical assault of the Devil's Pepper, giving it no chance to see this tiny ant, Lin Yue, speeding past. And that was exactly the effect Lin Yue wanted.
Soon, Lin Yue made his way along the wall directly to the warehouse, where he then stored the beach buggy inside the Storage Space.
After that, he immediately went outside the Shelter, and at the same time, noticed that almost all the corpses left from last night's battle had disappeared.
Outside, there were a massive number of footprints and traces left by various mutant creatures, proving that last night this area had served as a buffet for mutant creatures, and was quite popular.
Lin Yue glanced around, with no mutant creatures or Lizardmen in sight, but he didn't venture onto the land. Instead, he hid behind the alloy door, aimed at the giant creature with his Sniper Rifle, and quickly pulled the trigger!
Whoosh!
The bullet flew out, hitting the junction of the giant creature's hind leg and torso!
Moreover, it sparked a little!
"Does it have a shell too?" Lin Yue looked at the huge, hairy body and frowned.
The Sniper Rifle's bullet hadn't penetrated the armor and hadn't even produced a painful reaction to make it turn its head.
Indeed, giant creatures are much harder to deal with than the other types of enemies he had encountered before.
Luckily, there aren't many of them.
Lin Yue glanced at the Shelter, where the main shelter wall had also been damaged by the giant creature's impact. Fortunately, the entrance didn't have any decorations or the like, that area was basically smashed beyond recognition.
Bai and Meng... if they were here, that would be great.
If there was a Little Ice Lizard, it could help him deal with this troublesome enemy, at least distracting it.
Lin Yue thought for a moment and immediately crafted a Crossbow Carriage.
The previous one had collapsed while dealing with the Turtle Crocodile in the Underground Ruins. Luckily, no special materials were needed, so it was easy to create.
Setting up the Crossbow Carriage, and after remaking a Crossbow Carriage Arrow, Lin Yue aimed it at the giant creature, still confused by the spiciness of the Devil's Pepper, targeting its back!
Boom!
He stepped on the trigger, and the giant metal crossbow arrow shot out instantly!
A moment later, it successfully hit the end of the giant creature's tail!
"Gooaaahhhh..."
After an unpleasant, skin-crawling sound rang out, Lin Yue immediately took out the beach buggy!
The monster turned its body, with its legs striding towards this little ant, straight for him!
Its limbs, like pillars yet extremely withered, moved nearly ten meters in a single step!
Lin Yue didn't want to be squashed to death, so he packed up the Crossbow Carriage, jumped on the beach buggy, and drove forward.
After driving nearly a hundred meters forward, Lin Yue quickly turned back and set down the Crossbow Carriage!
The arrow that struck the monster earlier had caused it some harm, and it seemed effective.
Lin Yue placed the Crossbow Carriage on the ground, then loaded a Crossbow Carriage Burning Arrow.
Moreover, he crafted a new Crossbow Carriage, lining up both carriages to aim at the giant creature, still twisting its neck, emerging from the Shelter and pursuing.
Lin Yue waited until it had moved a few more steps, completely moving out of the Shelter's bounds, and simultaneously stepped on the triggers of both Crossbow Carriages!
As the fiery crossbow arrows shot forth, Lin Yue quickly retracted the Crossbow Carriages and got back on the vehicle, continuing forward.
He glanced back, and the loud, frequent howling of the giant creature had two burning crossbow arrows embedded in its abdomen, setting parts of its body on fire with an increasingly fierce flame!
It's working!
The giant creature, painfully twisting its neck, staggered forward towards him, while Lin Yue, not greedy, played a kite strategy on the vehicle.
It didn't take long for the giant creature, with numerous burning and non-burning Crossbow Carriage Arrows lodged on its body, to bleed continuously. Eventually, exhausted, it wobbled and fell to the ground, soon engulfed by the increasingly ferocious flames.
Lin Yue didn't get off the beach buggy as he saw certain places on the ground glimmering with metallic flashes.
Lizardmen… they've come again!
However, they didn't seem intent to come out but were rather lurking underground, observing the development of events!
Lin Yue drove closer to the giant creature's vicinity, which had stopped struggling.
Nearby, Lin Yue spotted dozens of gunpoints glimmering with metallic flashes lurking in the ground.
"These bastards, so that's what they were aiming for!"
Lin Yue was ready.
[Congratulations, you have killed the giant creature Bone Worm Beast! You have obtained a Platinum Treasure Chest!]
[Congratulations, you are the second Survivor in the world to kill a giant creature. You are about to receive an airdrop reward!]
It's here!
A massive treasure chest suddenly appeared not far from the burning giant creature, and at the same time, dozens of Lizardmen emerged from the soil from all directions!
Lin Yue didn't rush to grab the treasure chest but instead used the Steel Repeating Crossbow, Alloy Tactical Crossbow, Crossbow Carriage, and others to shoot a Burning Arrow at them right as they emerged!
Screams echoed through the Desert as fireballs rose, and Lin Yue accelerated straight toward the location of the treasure chest, disregarding the system's notification about killing Lizardmen and gaining a Copper Treasure Chest. His hand reached the Platinum Treasure Chest!
At the same time, seven or eight Lizardmen also emerged from the ground beside him!
"Are you guys moles?"
[You have obtained a Platinum Treasure Chest!]
The treasure chest in hand, and then...
It's these Lizardmen now!
Lin Yue had a new weapon in his hand.
The freshly acquired MP5 Submachine Gun!
Raising the gun, Lin Yue unleashed a burst of bullets at the Lizardmen lunging toward him!
At such close range, no matter how many Lizardmen there are, it makes no difference, especially when there are only eight!
[You have obtained 8 Copper Treasure Chests!]
Eight Copper Treasure Chests in hand!
Lin Yue quickly collected all the Copper Treasure Chests, then floored the accelerator toward the location of the fiery orbs to gather more Copper Treasure Chests.
While these aren't particularly rewarding and can be bothersome to open, that's only from his perspective.
For the Lizardmen, these Copper Treasure Chests are extremely precious!
And Lin Yue didn't want to experience having his spoils of victory snatched away by Lizardmen again.
He hadn't anticipated it before, but now that he knew, he definitely wouldn't allow it.
The dune buggy rampaged across the Desert, Lin Yue mounted the MP5 equipped with a sighting scope onto the dashboard, occasionally stopping to clear out another wave of emerging Lizardmen!
The number of Copper Treasure Chests kept rising, as did the count of Lizardmen on the ground. Lin Yue skillfully switched magazines and fired, continuously improving his proficiency with the MP5!
By the third magazine, he had already learned a new skill—burst fire.
It's undeniably true: the sighting scope truly rules!
Lin Yue couldn't help but feel excited; it was his first time using such a "matricidal" type of weapon at close range.
After taking out a small batch of newly emerged Lizardmen, suddenly, over a dozen white figures shot out from the direction of the Shelter, then at great speed, disappeared beneath the metal-glinting surface!
Screams soon echoed from within, and Lizardman blood soon poured out.
A massive white figure shot into the sky, while, from the direction of the Shelter, a silver-gray figure flashed out, blowing dozens of Lizardmen near the Acid Rain Lake into fragments!
Finally, they arrived.
Lin Yue drove around collecting Iron Spears and Iron Spears, and after picking up a Copper Treasure Chest, drove back to the Shelter. Bai, Xiao Meng, and the Little Ice Lizards returned to the Shelter once the Desert had settled into calm once more.
He finally looked up at the sky, where a white parachute, attached to a wooden box, was slowly descending.
The airdrop reward has arrived.
He stored his weapon in the Storage Space, removed his mask, and saw a large amount of items around the compound.
Fifteen beggar corpses and three half-dead Lizardman Priests.
Wow, another bountiful day.
I just finished opening my treasure chests, and I've already got replenishments?
Lin Yue expressed that he needed to expand his Shelter some more.
The warehouse seems to be running out of space.
