Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

This disgusting monster appeared in an instant.

A few exceptionally muffled gunshots rang out immediately.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

These were snipers set up in advance for the ambush.

They were not ordinary snipers, but elites who had awakened some level of Superpower Potential, each able to hit moving targets from two kilometers away.

The sniper rifles they used were specially manufactured weapons, 50% heavier than regular heavy sniper rifles.

The military commander who assembled this team gave it a rather eccentric name – Mamian Squad.

It's not hard to guess there's another elite squad named – Ox Squad.

In Great Xia's traditional culture, the ox and horse face are precisely the Soul Collectors of the Underworld.

Captain Gan Zhengyao was a member of the Mamian Squad.

The moment he pulled the trigger.

This captain shouted in his mind: "Got it!"

Every time he had this feeling, the bullet he fired would hit the target 100% accurately.

However.

Half a second later.

Gan Zhengyao widened his eyes.

He clearly saw the monster, carrying two large tumors on its shoulders, seemed to predict the bullet's trajectory and suddenly made a sharp turn.

"Splash!"

The large-caliber bullet hit the concrete road.

Dense cracks like a spider web instantly emerged, showing how powerful the bullet was.

Gan Zhengyao adjusted the barrel as quickly as possible, ready to shoot the monster again.

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice rang in his earbuds.

"Mamian Squad, please take note, leave your current position immediately!"

It was Lady Que San's voice.

Without hesitation, Gan Zhengyao followed the order, quickly rolling away from the previous sniper spot with his firearm.

As he was about to stand up, he caught a glimpse of a shadow flying towards him, landing right on the previous spot.

"Sizzle~"

A sound of strong acid corrosion echoed.

The previous sniper position was instantly corroded into pits large and small, the deepest able to fit two fists.

This was clearly the monster's attack.

It could spray out deadly strong acid to attack targets from a distance.

Gan Zhengyao glanced over, feeling a strong sense of dread.

He couldn't imagine how miserable he would end up if he had been a moment slower.

While he kept moving, he murmured in his heart: "Thank you, Lady Que San!"

At first, when the higher-ups ordered the entire squad to obey a Spirit Bird's command, he felt quite puzzled.

Are you kidding?!

Now, he felt the higher-ups were indeed too wise!

*

Three kilometers away.

Novari Port suburbs.

Inside a simple wooden cabin.

These types of cabins are simple in structure and very cheap in Shapudian's rural regions.

Two men sat on the ground.

Their skin was dusky, indistinguishable from the locals, yet they spoke fluent Carmenia Language.

One of the curly-haired men held a black, bulbous mass in his right hand.

"Thump!"

The mass pulsed like a heart.

Several bright red blood vessels extended from the mass, piercing the curly-haired man's arm.

The sight was quite horrifying.

At this time.

The curly-haired man swore: "Fxxk, I've hidden my 'Punisher' so discreetly, how did the Great Xia People find it?"

The other burly man immediately suggested: "Mike, let's withdraw quickly."

The man referred to as "Mike," however, declined the suggestion: "No rush to retreat, the opponents don't seem to have very powerful Superpower Users. I still have time to play with these Great Xia People."

This guy sneered: "The Great Xia People attacking the Punisher seem to be an elite squad. I'm going to tear these yellow-skinned bastards apart one by one."

The burly man shrugged: "Alright, you'd better not screw this up."

Mike was very confident: "The Punisher is the strongest modified weapon of the Federation; there's no way it could fail against a bunch of non-Superpower Users."

He paused for a moment and continued: "Besides, Novari Port is a port city.

"Even if powerful Great Xia Superpower Users arrive, as long as I control the Punisher to dive underwater, the Great Xia People will absolutely have no way to deal with it."

The burly man said no more.

On the other side.

Gan Zhengyao's headset buzzed with Lady Que San's latest orders.

"Everyone, keep attacking the target and distracting its attention. Also, make sure to shoot and then change your position."

Gan Zhengyao replied with a "Received," dashed to the next shooting point, quickly raised his rifle, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A 13.5mm large-caliber bullet, carrying massive kinetic energy, blasted out of the gun barrel.

This time, Gan Zhengyao played a small trick.

As he pulled the trigger, he shifted the gun barrel a tiny bit to aim one meter in front of the monster's right.

He had already sensed that the monster had an extraordinary ability to sense danger.

On the first shot aimed at the monster, it turned right ahead, dodging the sniper bullet.

But unfortunately, the second shot missed again.

The monster made a sudden stop, its speed dropping from over thirty meters per second to zero in an instant.

This little detail fully demonstrated the monster's formidable physique.

Gan Zhengyao glanced at it, his eyelid twitched, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn it, freak!"

He knew very well that if he faced the monster directly, he would definitely be torn apart alive by it.

Ten seconds later.

Lady Que San's order came again.

"Mamian Squad, please take note, I'm going to launch a Spiritual Burst, aim at the monster's chest to shoot!"

"Understood!"

Gan Zhengyao responded.

He had another question in his mind: "Why did Lady Que San tell us to aim for the chest? The chest is clearly covered with black scales, which seem incredibly strong in defense."

Gan Zhengyao quickly surveyed his surroundings, immediately choosing a suitable shooting position.

He instantly completed several simulations, precisely calculating every step to follow.

This is Gan Zhengyao's ability.

A second later.

He held the sniper rifle with both hands, aiming at the monster's advancing path, his mind highly focused.

At this moment.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound.

A bullet hit a nearby wall.

Many shards scattered around.

Gan Zhengyao's side face was just grazed by a sharp piece of debris, leaving a bloodstain, and blood immediately flowed down.

This is the enemy's backup forces.

These people were caught off guard by an ambush and were confused for a moment, but now they have finally reacted.

Yet Gan Zhengyao remained unmoved.

His eyes had nothing but the rampaging monster.

"Boom!"

The monster slammed into an old building, easily smashing through the wall and then cut through the house, bursting out from another wall.

At this time.

Gan Zhengyao saw the monster's form suddenly stall, and the fleshy lumps on its shoulders shrank rapidly.

He instantly realized this was the Spiritual Burst Lady Que San had mentioned.

The opportunity has arisen!

Gan Zhengyao decisively pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

A spark shot out from the gun's muzzle.

*

Suburbs.

"Boom! Boom!"

The fleshy lump in Mike's hand was pulsating faster and faster.

The bright red veins embedded in his arm twisted like a snake, looking increasingly eerie.

Mike's face twisted into a drug-addict-like smile: "In three more seconds, my little darling can catch up to a yellow dog, and I'll dig out its guts alive."

A burly man watched Mike, his expression slightly complex.

But with encouragement in his voice, he said, "Mike, kill all these Xia People!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

"Boom!"

There was a particularly heavy heartbeat.

The fleshy lump instantly doubled in size, seemingly on the verge of exploding.

The veins inserted into Mike's arm suddenly burst with a "pop," spraying blood everywhere.

"Ah~"

Mike screamed loudly, bright red streaks leaking from his seven orifices.

The burly man was startled, stepping back a few paces, watching his companion unblinkingly.

Mike appeared in extreme pain, tightly clutching his heart area.

"Boom! Boom!"

His heart began to beat violently.

The intensity was so great that it was visibly abnormal.

Mike had already sensed death approaching, desperately urging, "William, save me quickly!"

William, the burly man called, shook his head regrettably, "Very sorry, buddy, I can't save you."

At this moment.

The lump in Mike's hand had stopped pulsating, seeping out foul-smelling liquid.

Mike's expression grew increasingly tortured: "Damn, you people deceived me, the Punisher has fatal flaws."

The Punisher was under a powerful attack, and he himself was about to die, which was clearly wrong.

William remained indifferent, "Buddy, you should know that obtaining great power comes at a price."

He smiled, "Actually, I personally think this is just a minor flaw."

"Poo!"

A spray of blood shot from Mike's mouth.

His chest's movement stopped.

It was clear that this guy's heart must have ruptured.

Mike stared at William, the light in his eyes fading quickly.

He died.

William nodded to the corpse, "Buddy, you made outstanding contributions to the Punisher project, we will always remember you."

The corpse remained still, only blood foam ceaselessly bubbling from the corners of its mouth.

William sighed softly, "Mike's physical condition wasn't bad, yet he died so quickly, seems the Punisher needs some more improvement."

He furrowed his brow, "The Xia People's skills are stronger than the Federation anticipated. Who knew even Ghosts, a special ops team, would have such experts."

William glanced at the body one last time, quick-stepped out of the wooden house.

As he crossed the threshold.

A slightly gruff voice sounded beside his ear.

"Mr. William, nice to see you!"

William's pupils shrank abruptly.

His gaze locked on a crow perched on a nearby tree.

William blurted out, "You are Spirit Crow?"

Spirit Crow nodded gently, "Correct, unfortunately, no prize!"

It introduced itself, "I am Black no.18, here on orders from the master to investigate the Punisher."

Elsewhere.

Gan Zhengyao, an old face, stared unblinkingly at the monster.

Except for one member serving as bait, the other eight members of the Mamian Squad all hit the monster.

And all hit the heart.

Gan Zhengyao saw that the scales on the monster's chest were oozing a lot of black liquid.

Clearly.

The monster was injured.

Though it was good news, Gan Zhengyao was puzzled, "How did it happen? It's too strange!"

He did not know that at the moment when eight large-caliber bullets struck the monster's chest, another Carmenian received part of the damage, resulting in a heart rupture and death.
