Chapter 81 24.7mm Black-Tipped Armor-Piercing Round [Please continue reading]

Lin Ye's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly planted the halberd in front of him.

"boom--!"

With a loud blast of air, the scythe-like spider legs slashed at the handle of the halberd, the compressed air producing a piercing, sharp whistle.

The next moment, the surrounding scene returned to the appearance of a dark street.

Escape from the Dark Spider Queen's Pursuit (Completed)

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

Lin Ye's body crashed into the street wall, and the halberd in his hand fell to the ground with a metallic clang.

"Ahem!"

Lin Ye rolled to the ground, coughed a few times, and felt a tightness in his chest.

Fortunately, the enhancements from the Spider Puppet Hearts made his physical attributes stronger, and the healing effects of the Spider Puppet Hearts had not completely disappeared.

A few minutes later, Lin Ye sat up with a dazed look in his eyes, his lips turning slightly purple from his rapid heartbeat.

He stared silently at the stone bricks on the ground, his hands hanging limply at his sides.

Is the gap really that big?

Am I really that weak?

"call out!"

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out, and Lin Ye looked up, instinctively grabbing the incoming fist.

Then, with a twist of the wrist, a sound of bones breaking rang out.

With a strong pull, the attacker's figure tilted forward uncontrollably.

"boom!"

The fist, enveloped in a shockwave and tinged with a pale red hue, crushed through the air as it slammed down.

"puff--!"

The figure's head exploded like a watermelon, and a spray of blood splattered onto Lin Ye's face.

The warm touch brought Lin Ye back to his senses, and his vision gradually cleared.

Leaning on his halberd, Lin Ye stood up and looked at the corpse in front of him. His emotions gradually calmed down.

"It's not that I'm too weak, it's just..."

He raised his head and stared straight at the night sky.

"Secret Weapon".

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the headless corpse at his feet.

He crouched down and lifted the figure's robe, revealing skin that was bluish-black.

When the mask was removed, the face remained as if dried by the wind, grotesque and terrifying.

After a moment of silence, he quietly put the mask back on, then stood up and glanced around.

The bronze tripod from that day is still there, with a white candle burning brightly.

Approaching it, I looked down at the bronze cauldron.

"Bang!"

He kicked it over and then crushed the candle.

He glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye and saw the red dot of the camera flickering slightly.

Without lingering, he turned and walked towards the dark alleyway.

After he left, the dark street returned to silence; not even the wind could be heard.

About three hours later, a light footstep sound was heard.

A figure draped in black robes entered the dark alley, lifted the bronze cauldron, and lit a new white candle.

In the dim yellow firelight, the snake-faced mask glowed yellow, and its forked tongue twisted like whiskers, making it look somewhat terrifying and eerie.

After doing all this, he knelt down in front of the corpse.

Without a word, a withered hand emerged from beneath the black robe and removed the corpse's mask.

A withered hand gently pressed against the corpse's face, and a sucking sound echoed in the dark alley.

After a while, he put away the black robe from the corpse and stood up.

At my feet, a corpse, as withered as a dead tree and completely unrecognizable as human, had turned into a pile of black ash.

With a flick of his black robe, a current of air emanated from the hem, dispersing the black ash from the dried corpse.

He glanced at the damaged camera and left silently.

After leaving the dark street, the figure in black robes moved like a ghost, not like a human in the night, but like a black mist moving.

Soon, the man in black robes left the city and arrived at an abandoned farmhouse in the suburbs.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang bang!"

After a series of regular knocks, the wooden door creaked open.

"The destruction of the altar was not an accident; we were being targeted."

A hoarse voice rang out, and the burly figure inside the door was startled upon hearing it.

"Not an accident?! Who did this?! Could it be the Red Whale Sect again?!"

The burly figure looked grim. Ge An had already been captured by the Crimson Whale Sect, and he didn't want to offend them!

But... he thought of that terrifying giant snake.

Even if he had mastered martial arts to the point of achieving mastery of the "Shaking Formation" realm, he was still no match for that divine beast servant.

The size difference is too big!

If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to join the Nuo Snake God Cult in the first place!

The man in black robes didn't rush to speak, but stared intently at the imposing figure, his eyes faintly revealing snake-like pupils.

"So what if it's the Red Whale Clan?"

"Meng Bin, don't forget, you're already a member of the cult."

"The other altars are all fine, if it's just us..."

"I have already dedicated myself to the Lord, and the Divine Servant will not do anything to me, but you... do you think you can survive?"

The man in black robes spoke in a hoarse, threatening voice.

Meng Bin's expression turned fierce for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it and revealed a hint of ingratiation.

"You flatter me, sir. Now that I have joined the cult, I will naturally prioritize the cult."

The two then entered the courtyard. In the darkness not far away, Lin Ye stood silently, his eyes deep.

"I really do feel...insecure."

......

Red Whale Security Group, first floor lobby.

"bite--"

The elevator doors opened, and Su Zhenzhen stepped out, looking somewhat dejected.

During this time, she has been busy preparing for the mission at the border.

The news just came that Boss Lin took care of it easily.

However, Boss Lin was very particular and gave her all the contribution points.

"Damn it! They won't even let me show off my skills!"

As she walked with her head down, her ears twitched slightly, and she looked up at the armory in the distance, where the lights were on.

Looking at the staff member on duty, he asked, "Who is it? Still practicing so late?"

The staff member on duty stood up straight. "Reporting to the manager, it's Lin Ye, the consultant."

Su Zhenzhen looked puzzled. Was Lin Ye practicing shooting so diligently?

"Advisor Lin has also applied for a batch of weapons to be sent out. Manager, please sign off on it."

The staff member on duty took the application form and pushed it forward on the counter.

Su Zhenzhen walked over, pulled the application form over, and looked at the application catalog with a bit of confusion.

"Suppressors, high-explosive grenades, incendiary bombs, high-energy petroleum fuel, anti-materiel sniper rifles, and... 24.7mm black-tipped armor-piercing rounds???"

She looked up at the staff member on duty. "Is Consultant Lin going to the border to fight tanks?"

The officer on duty shook his head. "According to regulations, combat advisors have the authority to request these weapons."

Su Zhenzhen scratched her head with a pen, "Okay... then, I'll put it back in the warehouse when the time comes."

"Yes, manager!"

......

In the abandoned farmhouse in the suburbs, a faint candlelight shines inside.

"We may have been discovered."

A hoarse voice rang out, and a figure draped in a black robe stroked the small black snake in his hand.

Meng Bin's expression changed slightly as he looked at the small black snake, which was the natal beast that every follower of the Nuo Snake Cult possessed.

It can be said that the natal beast taming is another pair of eyes for these believers.

Furthermore, these things are extremely poisonous; even if he were bitten, he would die.

"Shall we leave now?"

The man in black shook his head. "Leave your men here. Don't let them realize we've noticed something amiss."

"Bang!"

Meng Bin slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, glared at the man in black robes with gritted teeth, but then forcibly suppressed his rage.

"My lord, this... isn't this inappropriate?"

"These men are my brothers who would risk their lives for me!"

The man in black robes raised his head, revealing a pair of dark yellow vertical pupils beneath his snake-face mask.

"I'm not discussing this with you."

With a "crash!", the window glass shattered, and a round object rolled to the ground.

Meng Bin looked at the object with a puzzled expression.

The next moment, as the candlelight illuminated his face, he saw his features clearly and broke out in a cold sweat.

"grass!"

"Grenade—!"
