NOVEL NEXT Chapter 345: A Good Target for Experiments
The rumbling sound continuously came from the gradually darkening end of the desert.
Lin Yue and Bai, who had just walked out of the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, looked at the huge blood-red silhouette advancing over there, knowing that another battle was about to begin.
Giant creature!
"Gaa-woo!" Bai suddenly let out a low growl, spread its wings, and signaled Lin Yue to climb on. It was ready for a swift battle!
The night is definitely not a good time for battle, and at this twilight moment before nightfall, after a day in the Secret Realm without much activity, Bai's desire to fight was unprecedentedly strong, and it only wanted to take down that giant enemy!
"Bai, no rush, we can try out the new weapon." Coming out of the Secret Realm with plenty of alloy in hand, Lin Yue was not panicking at all but instead overly excited.
Platinum Treasure Chest chest... no, it's the giant creature coming!
Isn't it the most suitable target for experimentation?
Lin Yue brought out the ATV and immediately sat on it.
Now, equipped with three M241 heavy machine guns, it should be called an "Armed All-Terrain Combat Vehicle."
"Bai, you guard nearby. We're going to work together this time to take down that giant creature!"
"Gaa-woo!" Bai followed the order and flew straight into the sky.
However, Lin Yue did not immediately drive the all-terrain combat vehicle towards the giant creature but leisurely began to craft new weapons.
"A light catapult only requires twenty-five units of wood and five units of iron block, such a low cost! As for ammunition... an explosive barrel needs three portions of black gunpowder and two units of wood, so why not try it?"
But Lin Yue didn't immediately put the newly crafted explosive barrel, which looked like a small wine barrel, on the catapult, but instead used a rock of approximately the same weight on it, then adjusted the catapult according to the system's instructions.
The catapult's attack range was less than 150 meters; Lin Yue estimated the distance of the approaching black shadow and pulled the trigger!
Swish!!
A sound of breaking wind came as the stone flew out and traced a perfect parabolic arc, and then it accurately landed...
Several meters to the side of that black shadow.
Ah, this.
Lin Yue tried again.
The stone drew another perfect parabolic arc and then landed in another direction of the monster.
Lin Yue glanced at the catapult and put it into the Storage Space.
To hell with the catapult.
While it's possible that this thing is not suitable for attacking moving targets, the deviation was just too outrageous.
It needs modification before it can be used further.
Lin Yue took a deep breath and then crafted the SSW42 grenade launcher.
The system-crafted weapon has an extremely great feature: it comes with its own ammunition, like the previous handguns and shotguns.
This time, the grenade launcher, much smaller than expected, Lin Yue tried it in his arms; indeed, this thing could be used for individual combat, not too heavy, and feels quite handy.
The enormous bullets were housed in a five-round drum, like a giant revolver.
Not bad, much more reliable than the catapult.
Lin Yue started the all-terrain combat vehicle and headed straight for the enormous creature with a very long neck covered with spiky projections!
Soon, the all-terrain combat vehicle circled less than a hundred meters behind the monster, and without waiting for the clumsy creature to turn and attack, Lin Yue donned ear protection, picked up the M241 heavy machine gun from the rear seat, and began firing!
The bullets rained down, piercing the air at high speed and continuously bombarding the giant creature!
Sparks flew across its body, and Lin Yue noticed that it had a seemingly thick outer shell that mitigated the bullets' power on its body.
The sunlight gradually disappeared, and Lin Yue had no interest in observing the true form of the now roared monster but stopped the vehicle, donned the Exoskeleton again, and attached the Mechanical Arm.
With the grenade launcher in the left-hand Mechanical Arm, he aimed at the monster's abdomen and fired!
Swish… boom!!
The fire from the explosion surged up from the monster's abdomen, causing it to momentarily stop moving.
The shell was ejected, and Lin Yue fired at it again!
The power was sufficient, only the enemy's size was too large to see much effect.
If facing the Lizardmen, one shot would probably blow them all away!
Lin Yue quickly emptied the magazine, and each enormous bullet continuously shot at the giant creature, exploding with wave after wave of booming sound.
Six bullets hit the giant creature, the abdomen, head, back, and near the tail. Lin Yue simultaneously observed the reaction of this creature that resembled an Ox-Carrier Serpent Dragon but had a shell-covered body.
Even though its hard armor could prevent bullets from fully piercing, grenades blasted on it still made it lose some balance, causing the body to shift slightly to the side and stagger.
Especially when hit underneath the abdomen and head, its pain response was more evident, suggesting that these must be its weaknesses.
Carbon-based life forms are vulnerable to fire, but one can't always rely on this method; if no flammable material is available, he needs to have preparations for that.
