Chapter 78

After making up his mind, Hero grinned: Want to play a guerrilla war with me? Let's see who can pin down whom. Just because you're good at sniping doesn't mean you can do it well just because you have a high power level.

Thinking this, Hero set up the silver sniper rifle he had looted on the passenger window, inputted the command to set up the automatic navigation in the Sky Pattern Microcomputer, and then turned the steering wheel. The battle vehicle veered left and left the road, entering the forest.

This made the distant Ground Spider's head spin: What's going on?

Hero was four kilometers away from him, and his effective sniping range was within two kilometers.

There was no need to ask; the kid must have turned into the forest because he noticed something was wrong. Without hesitation, Ground Spider picked up the 'Explosive Flame' sniper rifle and emerged from the bushes, jumping onto a red battle steed.

The red battle steed, with its engine roaring and breaking the air, turned into a fleeting shadow, weaving through the forest, chasing after Hero directly.

After Hero entered the forest, the Sky Pattern Microcomputer sounded the alarm again. From the information fed back by the Sky Pattern Microcomputer, this alarm was very strange. Within five kilometers, no one else could be scanned except for Ground Spider.

Hero would rather doubt his own abilities than doubt the power of the Sky Pattern Microcomputer. Hero analyzed the information fed back by the Sky Pattern Microcomputer with full concentration and thought of one person: Shadow!

Hero knew very well how much stronger the Reaper was compared to Spider. Since he could find out that Spider wanted to kill that woman, he must have also found out that Spider would send someone to cause trouble for him. At this moment, he didn't believe that the Dragon Emperor and his people would just watch him, a cannon fodder, be intercepted halfway.

In Hero's mind, the Sky Pattern Microcomputer continuously fed back to his brain all the information it scanned within the monitoring range, forming a topographical map. On this map, a string of red shadows was speeding towards Hero. This shadow was Ground Spider. Seeing this speeding shadow, Hero knew what to do and thought to himself:

"Since Shadow is here, let them fight to the bitter end first. I'll just knock them out from behind, how satisfying. One shot, two birds, and they're big birds, too. What a blast."

Thinking this, Hero quietly slowed down a bit, letting the guy behind catch up faster. It's been so many years, playing cat and mouse is so boring. Why not just deliver it to his mouth?

Ten seconds later, a red shadow appeared a hundred meters behind Hero.

Although the forest was dense, for a strong person like Ground Spider, it was like walking on flat ground. Even if there was a large rock in front, he could still roll over it.

Seeing Hero right in front of him, Ground Spider's high-speed battle vehicle, under the glow of the pattern light, turned into a bead and was stored in a pocket with a powerful storage function.

Storage devices for items come in various forms, roughly divided into four types: rings, pockets, waist bags, and necklaces.

After the battle vehicle was stored, Ground Spider sped towards Hero in the forest, simultaneously drawing out two automatic rapid-fire pattern guns from his waist.

The patterns on these two guns were mainly designed to enhance spiral destructive power. Once the bullets left the barrel, they possessed a powerful spiral force. When a bullet penetrated a large tree, it could twist the trunk of the tree.

He didn't intend to kill Hero right now; cut off the horse first, then the general! He just needed to blow up the wheels of Hero's battle vehicle. Without the four wheels, no matter how fast the kid ran, he could still catch up.

Ground Spider was confident he had a hundred ways to pry out the information Spider wanted from him.

Ground Spider aimed his guns at the two rear wheels of the black battle vehicle, preparing to fire at the right moment. Suddenly, he realized his hands couldn't move, and his legs felt as if they were stuck in mud.

His legs had lost control!

"Shadow?" Ground Spider exclaimed in shock.

This sudden change made Ground Spider break out in a cold sweat! If his body couldn't move on the battlefield, he would die more than ten times in a minute. But his combat experience was very rich. He had fought with the Reaper's Shadow before and knew Shadow's methods. He just didn't expect to suddenly encounter such a troublesome character here.

This was too unexpected.

He didn't want to know why Shadow was after him; he only knew that his mission must not fail. In Spider, the word "failure" was not allowed. No matter how strong the resistance, he had to complete the mission at all costs, or the consequences would be worse than death.

The blue-haired Ground Spider bit his tongue hard, the intense pain making his body shudder. In the instant his body recovered, the blue-haired Ground Spider leaped into the air, finally breaking free from Shadow's restraint.

Ground Spider couldn't afford to deal with the Shadow hiding in the tree shadows. He aimed his dual guns at the black battle steed that was about to leave the effective range. He would cripple the battle steed first, making the prey unable to escape, and then deal with Shadow.

The setting sun cast a tangled and messy shadow on the ground, and the shadows of the trees swayed like ghosts in the wind.

Shadow 7, hiding in the tree shadows, wouldn't let Hero's vehicle be destroyed. In the silence, Shadow 7 suddenly burst out. Shadow was not a living being and couldn't equip pattern devices, but Shadow itself was a natural pattern: the Shadow Pattern.

With a high-pitched scream that could pierce the human brain, Shadow 7 absorbed countless tree shadows, using its own shadow as the pattern and the shadows of the trees as the lines, forming a Shadow Pattern on the ground.

The blue-haired Ground Spider was no pushover. He had been hunted by Shadow before and knew some of Shadow's common tactics. He was waiting for Shadow 7 to suddenly attack. A bead suddenly emerged from his mouth.

This bead contained a pattern the size of a fingernail, shimmering with lightning: Lightning Burst.

This was a one-time use pattern device, the 'Lightning Pearl.' If this Lightning Pearl exploded, the intense lightning would not only instantly break the Shadow Pattern but also destroy the annoying Shadow.

Shadow's weakness and strength were equally fatal.

This Shadow was a shadow split from Hu Yinglong. If it was destroyed, it would harm the master's vital energy.

In the cold and desolate forest under the setting sun, a blinding light suddenly shone, and almost simultaneously, a thunderous roar echoed.

Two gunshots were drowned out by this thunderous roar.

In the midst of the thunder and light, a figure stood on the top of a large tree, watching the two black battle armors a mile away being blown up by two explosive spiral grenades, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction. He saw the trajectory of the explosive spiral grenades, a beautiful arc.

As a professional firearms engineer, it was essential to have a pair of fully functional glasses, the most indispensable auxiliary pattern device for firearms. The target tracking and infrared avoidance functions were the most basic.

No one noticed that under the thunderous roar, more than just two gunshots were drowned out.

Rewinding to ten seconds ago, when Ground Spider was about to fire but was suddenly restrained by Shadow, Hero, monitoring this movement through the Sky Pattern Microcomputer, seized the opportunity to escape from the vehicle and hide in a bush when Ground Spider was distracted and breaking free from Shadow.
