Chapter 339: Self-Destruct Robot
Chapter 339: Self-Destruct Robot
Li Qian dared not let his guard down, as now was not the time to create lasting memories for Sun Shouhe, but rather to focus on the present crisis. If he didn't give it his all, he might be the one leaving a lasting impression.
It was only now that he felt a twinge of regret.
Earlier, when he had broken through to the Overlord Rank, if he had contracted a third Companion Beast in time...
Whether it was the Blazing Skyglide Eagle or the Tide Sea Spirit, they wouldn't be so passive right now.
Regret aside, the most pressing matter at hand was dealing with the current predicament.
He commanded Seven Sons and Xiao Liu to engage in battle with the Three-Eyed Abyss Wolf.
Boom, boom, boom...
Bang, bang, bang...
The sounds of combat were loud, with skill clashes echoing continuously, stirring up noticeable dust in the outskirts of the Xiwusu Desert.
Li Qian felt helpless.
If it were daytime, with Beastmasters passing by from time to time, such a commotion would likely have already been noticed.
Unfortunately, it was the wee hours of the morning, and the sky was still dark.
Watching the Three-Eyed Abyss Wolf hold its own against two opponents, successfully suppressing Seven Sons and Xiao Liu, Li Qian's brows furrowed.
Through the soul contract, he issued commands to Seven Sons and Xiao Liu, instructing them to do their best to prolong the fight without engaging in direct confrontation.
After all, time was on his side if the battle dragged on.
"Li Qian, you have no chance." As he watched the Green Scaled Dragon and Frostfire Salamander join the fight against the Three-Eyed Abyss Wolf, Sun Shouhe showed no signs of worry.
At some point, a pistol had appeared in his hand.
Holding the pistol, his eyes gleamed with a reddish glow as he approached step by step.
"I'll finish you off myself," he said, weighing the gun in his hand with a hint of mockery in his expression.
Without hesitation, Li Qian also took out a laser pistol from his spatial necklace.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to have this, but a gun is useless if you can't hit your target." Sun Shouhe showed no concern, which was precisely what made Li Qian frown.
Sun Shouhe's boldness and lack of worry meant he had something to rely on.
Given the current situation, it was clear that his state was unusual.
Without hesitation, Li Qian pulled the trigger, and a laser beam shot out at high speed.
Li Qian stared intently, trying to understand how Sun Shouhe could be so bold.
Soon, he found the reason.
Just as the laser beam was fired, Sun Shouhe's body moved like a ghost, shifting sideways at incredible speed.
This small sideways shift allowed him to successfully dodge the incoming laser beam.
Li Qian's frown deepened as he witnessed this.
"Damn, this cult's forbidden technique is truly twisted," he muttered, gripping his gun tightly and unable to hold back his criticism.
If he couldn't hit his target, even the most powerful weapon in his hands would be as useless as a fire stick.
Bang, bang, bang...
Without hesitation, Li Qian pulled the trigger again, firing off a dozen shots in rapid succession. Whether they hit or not, they would surely buy him some time.
As long as he could delay, there was still a chance for everything.
Whether it was Sun Shouhe or the Three-Eyed Abyss Wolf, their state was unusual, as if they had been injected with energy.
Clearly, this state couldn't last long.
So, enduring and dodging was the best course of action.
However, Sun Shouhe wasn't stupid either, and he naturally understood Li Qian's intentions. While dodging the attacks, he also fired back in retaliation.
Although Li Qian had undergone several evolutionary feedbacks, enhancing his physical abilities beyond that of ordinary people, enduring bullets was still impossible.
Thus, he could only evade, and he frantically rolled like a lazy donkey, taking cover behind a small sand dune.
The downside of fighting in the desert was the lack of cover.
Li Qian could only do his best to defend.
Aside from the laser pistol, he had no other weapons in his hands, making him feel genuinely helpless at this moment.
Could he really be stuck here...
After some contemplation, he took out a small, milky white sphere from his spatial necklace.
This sphere was the life-saving trump card given to him by Professor Yan.
In the center of the milky white sphere was a red button. With a press and a throw, it could unleash an incredibly powerful attack, equivalent to the full force of an Imperial-rank Companion Beast.
What appeared to be a simple sphere was actually a miniature self-destructing robot.
Faced with this predicament, Li Qian couldn't think of any other solution but to use this self-destructing robot.
Although using a self-destructing robot against a minor character like Sun Shouhe seemed like a waste, akin to using a cannon to swat a mosquito, he had no other choice for his personal safety.
As he pondered this, Li Qian gritted his teeth, grabbed the small self-destructing robot, pressed the red button in the center, and forcefully threw it towards the incoming attacks.
With the support of the Forbidden Technique, Sun Shouhe's speed and reflexes far surpassed ordinary people. Seeing something being thrown by Li Qian, he didn't dodge but confidently aimed... and fired.
As it turned out, his aim was quite good, and the pistol bullet hit the self-destructing robot mid-air.
Ding! The robot's spherical shell was incredibly hard, and the bullet only produced a sound of clashing metal, and then... there was no aftermath, not even a white mark.
Sun Shouhe was startled and wanted to dodge, but having just fired his gun, he was delayed for a moment. By the time he was ready to dodge, it was already too late.
In the end, he only managed to move five or six meters before the milky white sphere landed.
As the milky white sphere hit the ground, its surface instantly burst into a dazzling white light.
The blinding white light filled the entire area within a hundred-meter radius, and even though Li Qian was hiding behind the sand dune, he felt a scorching heat.
Fortunately, just as he threw the milky white sphere, he had already notified Seven Sons and Xiao Liu through the soul contract; otherwise, such terrifying power would have affected them as well.
Boom! After the white light, a deafening explosion followed, its power so terrifying that even from a hundred meters away, Li Qian's head felt a bit dizzy.
The small sand dune was directly blasted into pieces.
After the explosion, about five or six seconds later, an arm emerged from the sand, followed by the entire person crawling out of the sandbag.
This person was none other than Li Qian.
Recalling the terrifying power of the explosion, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
