Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 44 Soundwave Beast

In less than ten minutes, all 15 magazines were emptied, and the corpses of the aliens below piled up like mountains. Their attack slowed down, and many of the aliens seemed to be afraid, only roaring in the distance and no longer approaching.

I stopped shooting, suddenly activated my bio-optical invisibility skill, and my body slowly disappeared from the tree. I quickly jumped to the branch of another large tree, sat down in the high branch, and began to load bullets.

"Depend on……"

At that moment, someone spoke again within the star map: "Wasn't it said there was a large army of aliens in the northeast corner? Why haven't we seen a single one..."

"I do not know……"

Someone responded, "It's quite quiet here too."

"Those aliens seem to have been intercepted and killed midway. I just spotted a blurry figure with a health bar using my scope. It should also be one of our players. They stopped a large number of aliens in the north."

"Holy crap, who's this awesome guy?"

"I don't know, it looks pretty fierce..."

……

I didn't make a fuss.

I have no interest in becoming famous among players. In Star Abyss, what I want to do most is to make a fortune quietly, become the king of the underworld, find the fat guy who has been missing for so long, and take this unlucky kid home!

Soon after, the alien army launched a second wave of attacks, which, as before, consisted entirely of Tier 1 elite monsters, consisting of only crawlers and devourers, with no other species.

At that moment, all fifteen of my magazines were fully loaded with bullets again, and I unleashed another burst of fire!
This continued until dawn.

When I looked at my strategic reserves again, I found that the ammunition was being used up badly. Of the nearly 10,000 rounds of Howler ammunition, there were now less than 3000 left. The rate of consumption was truly terrifying!
Fortunately, the alien army stopped its attack at this point, seemingly having suffered too many casualties and no longer intending to continue.

"Whoo~~~"

I leaned against the cold tree trunk, took out a roast chicken from my strategic reserves, and started showing off in front of a bottle of ice-cold nutritional drink. After wolfing it all down, I was still a little unsatisfied.

In the past, eating such cold food and drinking an ice-cold bottle of nutritional drink in winter would have made it impossible not to get an upset stomach. In reality, my stomach isn't very good; sometimes eating an apple can cause me to have diarrhea all day.

But now it's great, after eating something so cold, I don't feel anything at all, and my stomach feels warm and cozy.

No doubt about it, it strengthens the digestive system, it's awesome!
"drop!"

A WeChat message from Zhang Ruolin: "How are you? Are you safe?"

"Extremely safe."

I plan to stay in the tree a little longer. It's really safe here, located on the edge of the West Wind Forest. The alien army has been driven back, and the vanguard of the Dark Tide shouldn't find this place for a while.

"It's good to be safe."

Zhang Ruolin laughed and said, "I saw the event points leaderboard. Your ranking is really terrifying. Even 'Spear Like a Dragon' and 'One Slash to the Soul' are overtaken. You really are efficient all by yourself!"

"is it?"

I sent an awkward laugh emoji.

Then I opened the activity points ranking, and sure enough, I was at the top of the list—

1. Shadow Chaser Level: 20 Class: Starry Sky Super Weapon Points: 17778
2. Gunfire Like a Dragon Level: 21 Class: Starry Sky Super Weapon Points: 4322
3. One-Hit Kill Level: 20 Class: Starry Sky Super Weapon Points: 4124
4. Rabbit's Critical Hit Level: 20; Class: Firepower Attacker; Points: 4111
5. Milk Tea Life-Sustaining Immortal Level: 19 Class: Psionicist Points: 3982
6. Lu Xun deleted comments overnight. Level: 19. Profession: Starry Sky. Super Weapon Points: 3822
7. I'm bad at the game but I can still talk. Level: 19. Occupation: Damage Dealer. Points: 3799
8. Top Liberal Arts Scholar of Zaun: Level 19, Class: Psionicist, Points: 3705
9. Ruolin's Level: 19; Starry Sky Super Weapon Points: 3565
10. Chaos Demon King Level: 19 Class: Starry Sky Super Weapon Points: 3500
……

With the boost from Advanced Shooting lv10 and the blue submachine gun, I ranked first, which was expected. The two masters, Gun Like a Dragon and One Slash to the Soul, could only follow behind.

Fourth on the list is Rabbit Strike, the sister who delivers a fatal blow. I saw her once in the wild after Chief Chen died. She looked like a gentle and weak girl. I didn’t expect her to be ranked fourth and have such a high score!
This is the advantage of the SMG class. As long as you have good enough firearms, combined with the SMG's accelerated shooting and weapon aiming characteristics, you will have a huge advantage in the early stages of the game.

Ruolin's ranking is very stable, always hovering at the bottom of the list, neither falling out of the top ten nor improving too much.

The next moment, Zhang Ruolin sent a message: "I feel like even if you quit the event now, you can still secure first place."

"almost."

I nodded: "After all, I used up a lot of ammunition, so such a huge investment should be rewarded in this way. To be honest, I even borrowed money from Lu Xiaobei and Milo to buy bullets."

"sharp……"

Zhang Ruolin said, "Is this the legendary 'enduring hardship and humiliation to survive'?"

"Roughly the same……"

I told him, "You, Xiaobai, and Axe, be careful. The reward is secondary; you must stay alive."

"Ah, you too."

……

Time passed by little by little, and night fell in the blink of an eye.

During this time, I dealt with some scattered aliens again, and my ammunition reserves dwindled until I had less than 2000 bullets left. Just as night fell, it felt like the real crisis was about to arrive.

Around 8 p.m., after shooting down some of the alien species, I climbed up a tree again to take refuge.

"Ding!" Suddenly, a WeChat message came from Lu Xiaobei: "Ding Han, there's a problem with one of the machines that Yingzi can't fix. Could you take a look?"

"What's the problem? What does the screen look like? Take a picture and show it to me."

"it is good."

Lu Xiaobei took a picture, but I couldn't figure out what it was. I need to run the system to find out.

"How about we turn on a video call? You can teach me by watching the video."

"..."

I'm speechless. Is this video even allowed? I'm being bombarded by gunfire here...

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. Let's just label this machine as faulty for now, and I'll fix it when I go to work tomorrow morning."

"Ok."

Lu Xiaobei asked, "Where are you? Want to come over and have a late-night snack with me?"

"I'm really busy today, I'm very busy."

Perhaps I was too perfunctory, because Lu Xiaobei didn't reply again.

……

"Hiss..."

As soon as I put my phone away, I sensed something strange in the wind. When I looked down, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. Somehow, a strange creature had stopped under the tree, its eyes fixed on me. It moved without making a sound, but its gaze was like that of someone looking at prey, which made me uneasy!
Sonic Howler (Blue Boss)

Rating: 25
Attack: 225-290
Defense: 120
Qi and blood: 28000
Skills: [Sonic Boom Lv7], [Swiftness Lv7], [Night Perception Lv7]

Details: Sonic Beasts are a type of mutated creature resulting from radiation. Their beast genes have undergone drastic changes; their skin covers resonant cavities, and their heads can split into four vocal organs, emitting 200-decibel directional sonic booms. They can fully adapt to dark environments using echolocation.
……

"Depend on……"

I frowned. It was another Tier 2 mutant, a level 25 blue BOSS!

Although its attack power is slightly lower than that of the Bone Blade Hunter, it has a higher health bar and a skill like Sonic Boom that ignores defense!
"Click..."

Roarers, prepare to fire!

"Hiss~~~"

The Sonic Beast seemed to have sensed the threat. Its eyes turned incredibly fierce, and it suddenly lowered its body. The four vocal organs around its head trembled continuously, and a chilling infrasound vibration began to spread!
[Battle Notice: Sonic Howler (Blue Boss) is charging up its Sonic Boom Lv7 skill!]

The next moment, a countdown of 321 appeared above Noivern's head!
Without hesitation, I aimed directly at the vocal organs around its head and opened fire. Amidst the Roarer's fierce barrage, blood splattered around the Sonic Beast's head, but just two seconds later, a milky-white sonic boom rippled outwards from it!
"Pong!"

The loud noise shattered countless leaves and withered branches, and my body was also baptized, with an indescribable pain coming from my ears!

[Battle Warning: Sonic Howler (Blue Boss) has dealt 5200 damage to you using the skill Sonic Boom Lv7!]

Despite the excruciating pain, I did not stop for a moment and continued shooting!

This sonic beast is too ruthless. One sonic boom attack instantly took away nearly 70% of my health. If it launches another sonic boom, I'll be dead!
Moreover, this is only because I have a high health bar. If an ordinary player at this stage were to encounter this Sonic Beast, the outcome would be certain: either death or serious injury!

Switch magazines and keep firing!
As the Sonic Beast roared and swung its tail, its movements were extremely swift, greatly increasing the difficulty of my aim. Fortunately, the level 10 advanced shooting was really stable, and I was still able to maintain a hit rate of over 90%, while the headshot rate was also controlled at around 30%. Overall output was not greatly affected.

"Shhhh~~~"

The Noisy Beast roared, its body covered in blood, and charged frantically along the tree trunk. Several times it tried to charge, but I fired wildly at it. After I emptied all four magazines, the Noisy Beast opened its blood-red maw again, and the four vocal organs around its head trembled continuously. The second sonic boom attack was about to come!
"Fuck you..."

I descended from the sky and plunged my sword into its head. Then I unleashed a blood-draining frenzy, and in the very last second of the sonic boom countdown, I launched a burst of energy charge!
"Pong!"

The Soundwave Beast trembled, and whether it was because its skill was interrupted or because its health bar was empty, it collapsed softly, ending its tragic life as a mutant.

[Congratulations! You have defeated the Sonic Howler (blue boss) and obtained the item: 1 Boss Ability Crystal!]

……

I was slightly delighted, as I not only gained a lot of experience points, but also received a BOSS Ability Crystal!

Open it without hesitation!

Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Soulbreaker's Helmet] (Quality: Blue)!

……

It turned out to be a blue helmet, which looked a bit like the level 3 helmet in PUBG, but the overall design was more fantasy-style. After taking it out, its attributes appeared.

【Soulbreaker's Helmet】(Quality: Blue)
Rank: Second Tier

Defense: 30
Strength: +20
Specialty: Accuracy +20
Blessing: Powerful - I, increases attack power by 50 points.
Strength required: 100
……

A new week begins, three platinum-level authors have released their books, and the new book ranking has dropped by 3 points. How tragic!

No worries, let's keep going! I'm begging for monthly votes, recommendations, and anything else! Let's go, brothers!
