Chapter 225 Iron Demon
"Iron Demon!"
Zhang Yang's face darkened. Guessing was one thing, confirming it was another.
Three hundred years later, he and Lao Wang were responsible for hunting down demons within a hundred kilometers around the base. At that time, even the weakest demons had extraordinary powers.
But among all kinds of demons, the most difficult ones are two types. One is the invisible shadow demon, which makes Lao Wang, a Jindan cultivator, helpless. Only Zhang Yang's heart sword can detect it.
There is also another type, the Iron Demon, which is flawless on its body and as hard as steel. This type of demon feeds on steel and is very powerful. Even if it is an Iron Demon in the extraordinary stage, the two of them have to use all their strength, rack their brains, and bombard it for several hours before they can slowly grind it to death!
The biggest feature of this thing is defense.
Zhang Yang also had the crazy idea of getting the core magic language of the Iron Demon, but he never succeeded.
Now it was three hundred years ago, when the demons had just invaded, and he unexpectedly encountered an iron demon again.
Although the current Iron Demon is not as terrifying as the extraordinary Iron Demon three hundred years later, it cannot be harmed by ordinary weapons.
Seeing that the Iron Demon's second giant hand had already poked out of the ground, the concrete road surface was like bread crumbs in front of it. Everyone was terrified and shouted, "Turn around!"
"Non-combatants are to maintain a safe distance of one kilometer."
"Combatants, remember not to waste bullets. The firearms in your hands will not cause any damage to this iron demon, unless they are specially made armor-piercing bullets."
"Du Chao, Tian Bo, give the demon-breaking bullets I left for you five to Mai Tian and five to Sun Cheng. From now on, except for the two snipers, the rest of you will form a temporary auxiliary combat team. Don't worry about this Iron Demon, but pay attention to whether there are other bosses, especially the Blade Demon we just killed. This Blade Demon and this Iron Demon are usually the best partners."
"Now, Du Chao, Tian Bo, you two must listen to my direct command. Don't use ordinary sniper bullets, use magic-breaking bullets!"
Zhang Yang gave the order quickly, and he had to be extremely alert.
The Iron Demon's attack power is not high, but not everyone can be beaten by its punch. If you can't kill it, no matter how strong the fortress is, it will not be able to withstand its destruction.
Everyone quickly took the order and left.
Non-combat personnel and the convoy withdrew one kilometer, while Mai Tian and Sun Cheng's teams withdrew six hundred meters. Only Zhang Yang, Du Chao, and Tian Bo stared at the Iron Demon that was breaking out of the underground air-raid shelter.
Even before this guy came out, he was already seven or eight meters tall. He had no facial features on his head and no weak points on his body. He looked like a human figure, but in fact he was a whole piece.
"Boss, does this Iron Demon have no mouth?"
Du Chao asked. He and Tian Bo were still very calm at this moment. Their psychological quality was worthy of being a sniper.
"It has no mouth. The Iron Demon devours steel by directly fusing it with its body. However, it is not impossible to kill it. That is, don't look for a weak point. Just find a random center position on its torso. I require the two of you to use 90 magic-breaking bullets to hit a point within two minutes. This point cannot exceed one centimeter in diameter. Can you do it?"
Zhang Yang said in a deep voice that he and Lao Wang had tried countless methods before deciding on this way of killing. The Iron Demon had no weaknesses, and only continuous attacks on the same position that exceeded the upper limit of defense could cause damage.
Otherwise it's useless.
"That's equivalent to each person firing 45 bullets in two minutes and ensuring that each bullet has a 100% hit rate, while also dodging the Iron Demon's attacks? Boss, I think this is too demanding."
Tian Bo was stunned for a moment.
"It's a bit harsh. You two should do your best. If it doesn't work, we will retreat."
Zhang Yang spoke very calmly. He really couldn't ask for too much. After all, the appearance of this Iron Demon was completely beyond his plan. Even if he already possessed the Mountain and River Sword Intent, he actually had no way to deal with this Iron Demon.
Du Chao and Tian Bo said nothing more. They looked at each other and started shooting. The straight-line distance was 300 meters. For snipers like them, the difficulty was similar to that of elementary school students. However, in sniper training, there has never been a situation that requires uninterrupted shooting.
"Bang!"
Du Chao fired the first shot, and Tian Bo the second. The rhythm was just right. This would be an extraordinary battle that would test their coordination, skills, and psychology. They could not miss a single shot, and they had to shoot while moving quickly. The difficulty was unprecedented.
Zhang Yang didn't dare to disturb them at this time, but just stood guard nearby.
"Bang!"
Sparks flew and the impact points overlapped. At the same time, a thin red light could be seen flashing by. This was the special killing effect of the magic-breaking bullet.
But that was all. Du Chao and Tian Bo each fired three shots in quick succession, leaving only a burnt black spot on the Iron Demon's chest without even a layer of broken skin.
If it was the swift-blade demon that was just killed, he would probably have been seriously injured and died.
"roar!"
This attack naturally angered the iron demon. It emerged from the ground, let out a roar, and then chased after him in big strides, but not too fast. This might be its only weakness.
"run!"
Tian Bo was the first to turn around and run at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and then he had to keep to the time and fire three shots steadily when Du Chao also turned around and ran.
Then it was Du Chao's turn to provide support, and the two of them retreated alternately.
This was no problem at first, but after they fired ten shots at each other, they were obviously weak, not only in terms of physical strength but also in terms of willpower.
Zhang Yang keenly noticed that Tian Bo's shooting speed slowed down.
A layer of sweat also appeared on Du Chao's head.
But for the time being, they can still hold on.
“Da da da!”
Suddenly there was the roar of a light machine gun from the rear, followed by the opening fire of an automatic rifle.
Zhang Yang looked back and caught a glimpse of an afterimage. Sure enough, there was another swift knife demon.
This thing did not cooperate with the Iron Demon's attack from the front, but actually went around to the middle, trying to take advantage of the retreat of Maitian, Sun Cheng and others to suddenly jump out from a factory building.
The threat level is terrifying. For a demon with an explosive speed that can reach a maximum speed of two hundred kilometers per hour, such a close distance is almost equivalent to a sure kill!
Even though the two mercenary teams were always alert all the time, by the time they reacted and opened fire as quickly as possible, the swift blade demon had already reached their heads! "It's bad!"
Zhang Yang thought to himself, this is going to be a disaster, the whole team will be wiped out in a second.
But just when his heart was in tension, a series of exceptionally crisp and rhythmic gunshots rang out. It was a semi-automatic rifle, whose firing rate was not as fast as that of an automatic rifle, let alone a submachine gun.
But at this moment, on this life-and-death battlefield, it is as magical as a quick-acting heart-saving pill.
Because Zhang Yang clearly saw that out of five bullets, three hits occurred, and then the little boss was killed just before the Swift Blade Demon was about to launch a massacre!
This gunman used only magic-breaking bullets.
"So damn handsome!"
Zhang Yang couldn't help but waved his fist fiercely, and then immediately found the information of the hired gunman.
"Li Meng, from the Sky Dome Human Race."
"Age: 37."
"Gender: male."
"Profession: Precision Support Shooter (can be upgraded after meeting some special killing conditions)"
"Main weapon, semi-automatic rifle."
"Secondary weapon, Desert Eagle pistol."
"Secondary weapon, combat dagger."
"Basic attributes: 4E (strength, agility, defense, soul)"
"Talent: Firearms Expertise."
"Rifle proficiency: 350."
"Pistol proficiency: 350."
"Dagger proficiency: 150."
——
"Upgrade! Upgrade now!"
Of course Zhang Yang knew what to choose at this time.
The soldiers in the fantasy village building mission can be upgraded.
"Mercenary Li Meng killed a special elite demon (boss) alone, with a damage contribution of over 90%, meeting the upgrade requirement."
"Please pay 1,000 energy points + one magic soul to upgrade the mercenary Li Meng to the mercenary captain. The upgrade process takes 60 seconds."
“Pay!”
In an instant, a familiar white light flashed by, and the mercenary Li Meng was enveloped in it.
This was a very dangerous move on the battlefield, but Zhang Yang no longer cared about it.
Because Du Chao and Tian Bo were obviously unable to complete the scheduled task.
But if Li Meng, who has a better shooting level, joins the team one minute later, the situation will be completely different.
After all, although Du Chao and Tian Bo both have a shooting proficiency of 380 points, they are still a long way from becoming mercenary captains.
"You two can slow down your shooting speed. Li Meng will join in in a minute. Now you must ensure your shooting accuracy."
Zhang Yang shouted, and then he ran while exchanging the Demon Heart and the Original Demon Blood, and got a total of 50 Demon-destroying bullets and a Demon-destroying saber.
60 seconds is short, yet long.
By the time Li Meng completed the upgrade, Du Chao and Tian Bo were already sweating profusely and almost exhausted, and the Iron Demon had already caught up to Li Meng within a few dozen meters.
Zhang Yang didn't even have time to say anything to Li Meng at this time, and directly handed him 50 magic-breaking bullets.
The rest is up to him.
Sure enough, Li Meng did not disappoint him, or rather, the level of the mercenary captain did not disappoint him.
Li Meng was still holding the semi-automatic rifle in his hand. He retreated at a constant speed while firing three bursts of fire, steadily aiming the bullets within the predetermined range.
He alone is equivalent to Du Chao and Tian Bo combined.
Half a minute later, without any warning, a tiny crack appeared on the Iron Demon's chest. It was so small that even a needle could not fit in it.
But the moment Li Meng fired the last demon-destroying bullet, dozens of cracks appeared on the iron demon's body and eventually it turned into a pile of debris.
"Successfully killed the original demon blood elite - the Iron Demon."
"Successfully plundered a broken demon soul, available for sale."
"Successfully looted a portion of the original demon blood, available for sale."
"Successfully obtained a golden fragment of hope."
"You gain 50,000 energy points."
"You have obtained an Iron Demon Heart, which can be sold."
"You have obtained special materials, 1000 units of iron, 100 units of copper, and 10 units of silver. (Note: special immortal cultivation items)"
