Douluo Golden Shovel: One Hextech Gunpla every year!

Chapter 4: Slaying the Azure Scale Giant Tree!

The Soul-Guided Sniper Ray doesn't actually do much damage to the Azure Scale Giant Tree.

The bowl-sized carbonized pit was actually a negligible part of the massive body of the Azure Scale Tree.

But the human face on the trunk of the Azure Scale Giant Tree still roared violently, its branches shook, and countless green scale-like leaves shot out in the direction from which the Crimson Lotus Soul-Guided Sniper Ray came.

However, a distance of more than two kilometers is still too far for a thousand-year-old giant tree.

These emerald green, scale-like leaves began to lose speed when they reached a distance of about 1,500 meters, clearly exceeding the range of the Azure Scale Giant Tree soul skill.

After losing speed, the scales shot out for about 300 meters before finally collapsing helplessly into the soil.

At this moment, Honglian had already fired her second shot with her soul-guided sniper rifle!
As the Soul-Guided Sniper Beam was propelled high into the air again by recoil, the second Soul-Guided Ray struck the Azure Scale Giant Tree.

An angry roar once again echoed through the surrounding forest, which stretched for kilometers.

As the undisputed overlord of this area, the roar of the Azure Scale Giant Tree terrified countless soul beasts, who dared not approach the place. Even those soul beasts that were one or two thousand years old fled in fear.

Honglian noticed the surrounding environment of the Soul Beast Forest, but her expression remained calm.

Raising her hand, she charged the Soul Guidance Sniper Shot again. Just as the five-second burning effect of the previous "Heat Strike" Hextech was about to wear off, Honglian activated the Soul Guidance Sniper Shot once more.

The ray hits again, extending the burn effect on maximum health.

It's a good thing that the Azure Scale Giant Tree scared away the other soul beasts. As a result, only the Red Lotus and the Azure Scale Giant Tree exist within a few kilometers.

Honglian can then focus on continuing to snipe the Azure Scale Giant Tree without fear of being affected by other soul beasts.

The Soul-Guided Sniper Rays hit the Azure Scale Giant Tree one after another.

The giant tree's scales and leaves have shot at it countless times, and it has also tried releasing poisonous mist and using its own branches to defend itself.

The Azure Scale Giant Tree even used a soul skill that strengthened its bark.

But none of them worked.

The bark-enhanced soul skill might be able to negate a tiny amount of the original ray damage from the Soul Guide Sniper Ray Gun, but the burning effect of the Scorching Strike is completely unaffected by dual resistance attributes.

It operates directly on the rules according to the skill description.

Once it hits, bypassing the defenses, it directly burns the life force of the Azure Scale Ancient Tree!
boom!
bang bang-

Crimson Lotus fired shot after shot, a soul-guided sniper ray hitting the trunk of the Azure Scale Giant Tree every five seconds, burning away the tree's life force at a rate of 1% per second.

After being hit by ten soul-guided sniper rays from the Crimson Lotus, the expression on the face on the bark of the Azure Scale Giant Tree was no longer indifferent.

It seemed that the soul-guided sniper shot did little damage to it, but a hint of fear had already appeared on the anthropomorphic face of the Azure Scale Giant Tree.

Its vitality has been burned far too much.

The intense heat caused internal injuries, not external ones!

Having exhausted all other options, the Azure Scale Giant Tree stopped expending its soul power to launch various attacks and instead changed its strategy, beginning to use its soul power to do its utmost to stimulate and restore its ever-burning life force.

A rich green light began to emanate from the trunk of the giant, scaly tree.

Driven by this green soul power, the life force of the Azure Scale Tree was slowly recovering. Even the carbonized pits on its trunk, burned by the soul-guided sniper rays, were slowly falling off and being repaired, just like the scabs falling off on human wounds.

Seeing the Azure Scale Giant Tree's behavior, Honglian's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

If it were an ordinary soul beast, even if it used its soul power to heal its injuries and regenerate its life force, the process wouldn't be very fast.

However, the plant-type Azure Scale Giant Tree is currently using its soul power to restore its own vitality, and the speed of its restoration is much faster than that of ordinary soul beasts.

With the addition and subtraction, the rate at which Crimson Lotus consumed the Azure Scale Giant Tree slowed down.

Fortunately, the Scorching Strike also has a 33% chance to inflict severe damage, which can suppress the enemy's healing effects by 33%.

Otherwise, it would be easy for the giant tree with the green scales to replenish its own life force.

The giant tree with the blue scales also discovered that its regenerative ability had weakened, and the mysterious power that had always burned its life force was now suppressing its recovery.

The giant tree with the azure scales couldn't help but roar again, but its recovery speed still couldn't keep up with the rate at which that despicable enemy's attacks consumed it.

But at this moment, the Azure Scale Giant Tree had no other choice. It could only stand there in a helpless rage, watching as Crimson Lotus hit it with one soul-guided sniper ray after another.

In one hundred seconds, twenty soul-guided sniper rays had already depleted the soul power in the first level three healing bottle soul tool.

Theoretically, the Crimson Lotus has already burned 100% of the Azure Scale Tree's life force, but the Azure Scale Tree has not yet fallen.

But it doesn't matter. Honglian removed the milk bottle soul guide from the soul guide sniper ray gun and replaced it with a new magazine.

At this moment, through the wounds that had just been inflicted on the Azure Scale Giant Tree, one could see that its core was completely red-hot, a sign that the intense heat of the attack had severely damaged the Azure Scale Giant Tree.

After reloading, Honglian continued to fire at the giant tree with a steady five-second sniping rhythm.

He only had two level-three milk bottles and a total of forty sniper ray bullets.

Even if there are still a few level 2 milk bottles, their soul power capacity is completely useless when applied to the soul guidance sniping of a level 4 soul tool.

They couldn't fire more than a few shots.

As for the level one ones, they can't even supply enough soul-guided snipers to fire, their soul power output efficiency is too low.

Therefore, in order to ensure that she would not run out of ammunition, Honglian made sure that every shot she fired was worth every second of the chance to burn the Azure Scale Giant Tree, maximizing the damage!

Another twenty soul-guided sniper rays were fired, and as expected, the Azure Scale Giant Tree had not yet fallen.

However, at this moment, the Azure Scale Giant Tree was completely carbonized. Its entire trunk was scorched from the inside out, and the flames burning inside the Azure Scale Giant Tree and the billowing black smoke rising from its body could be seen!
The giant tree with the azure scales was now silent, no longer able to roar at the red lotus.

Honglian then equipped the Soul Guide Sniper with a level 2 healing potion that could only fire a maximum of five shots, and pulled the trigger again.

boom--!
Due to carbonization of its entire body, the Azure Scale Giant Tree's defenses began to weaken.

The soul-guided sniper ray struck his already blackened, carbonized body, and was actually blasted apart, with a large chunk of black carbon shell peeling off!
This time, after five seconds, Honglian raised her Soul Guidance Sniper Ray Gun again. A deep purple Soul Ring slowly floated out from the surface of the Azure Scale Giant Tree, accompanied by a blue magic orb.
