Chapter 79: Sniping

Loyalty!

Now, no matter how others viewed it, in Feng Bo's eyes, Wang Ting was the absolute leader.

Between a Limit Breaker and an ordinary warrior, the gap might seem small, but only after truly breaking through this bottleneck did Feng Bo truly realize that having three to four hundred catties of strength as a norm was actually a terrifying thing.

Faster speed, stronger strength, and abundant stamina, coupled with the fact that he was already a seasoned warrior who had trained for a long time, now having broken through via the enhancement potion, his strength was naturally a cut above the rest.

But precisely because of this, Wang Ting's terrifying combat power, which he had witnessed in the past, now had a much more concrete manifestation in his heart.

Before entering the transcendent realm, seeing him was like a frog in a well gazing at the moon in the sky. Having entered the transcendent realm, seeing him was like a mere mayfly gazing at the azure sky.

Although these words were exaggerated, applied to Wang Ting's various miraculous methods, they were somewhat fitting.

Wang Ting's methods were too numerous, his origins too mysterious, and the power he displayed was too immense.

Feng Bo's words made the two of them, including Xiang Nan, even more convinced of Wang Ting, and a yearning for even greater power also sprouted in their hearts.

Xiang Nan muttered, "It seems I, Xiang Nan, will also have a day when I touch the transcendent. I'm definitely redeeming the transcendent potion."

Qu Ling patted his shoulder and said, "Wake up, it's forty thousand contribution points. You'd better figure out how to redeem the blood vine fruit first."

In Vine Town, Wang Ting carefully bypassed the Parasitic Fungus Vine and once again sneaked into the Geer Hardware Factory.

After the last encirclement and annihilation at the hardware factory, most of the Parasitic Fungus Vines had retreated, but there were still some Parasitic Fungus Vines roaming around.

Wang Ting quietly entered, locked onto their positions through Vibration Perception and Plant Control, and then launched a surprise attack at an even faster speed.

He directly attacked with Earth Vine Spike. The Parasitic Fungus Vines were often killed by him before they even woke up, unable to make the slightest sound, and naturally would not expose his position.

He went straight towards the two-story building with brisk steps, went up to the second floor, and then controlled the vines to pull himself up to the roof. He lay prone facing the direction of the Machinery Factory, observing the distant factory through the scope of the corpse hound sniper rifle.

He had spent a few days, combined with the information Feng Bo, Xiang Nan, and the others had previously sent people to collect around the area, to gain a general understanding of the Industrial Zone in Vine Town.

The Industrial Zone of Vine Town actually only had four or five scattered small factories, and there were only three core ones: one was a Machinery Factory for agricultural machinery repair, one was the hardware processing factory he was currently in, and the third was a lumber processing factory.

The remaining small factories were also in this area, but most of them were manual processing factories for clothing or small handicrafts.

Vine Town was not a large town, so naturally there wouldn't be many factories supporting the town, nor would their scale be large.

"According to the intelligence discovered by Lin Dagui and the others, the Grafted Mother Vine should be inside the Crozier Machinery Factory. It's only about 1,000 meters away from the Machinery Factory here, which doesn't exceed the range, but we first need to find a way to lure it out."

Looking through the scope of the corpse hound sniper rifle, Wang Ting began to observe the situation inside the Crozier Machinery Factory.

The scale of the Crozier Machinery Factory was obviously much larger than the Geer Hardware Factory. Within the factory yard, there were two buildings serving as administration and accommodation, and their styles were also a bit more exquisite.

Although there was only one factory processing workshop, its floor area was much larger than that of the Geer Hardware Processing Factory, estimated to be three to four times larger.

A large amount of vines covered the entire Machinery Factory, and the idle agricultural machinery looked like climbing frames for the vines, covered with dark green vines. Looking from afar, they looked like old trees.

Swept by the scope, Wang Ting also saw vine trees rising from the ground in the courtyard of the Machinery Factory. There were fully five or six vine trees that took two or three people to embrace, distributed in various corners.

Although there were quite a few vine trees, no Vine Parasite Corpses were seen. Instead, a large number of Parasitic Fungus Vines were unreservedly dwelling among the vines. These vine trees vaguely distributed outward, centered around the workshop.

He carefully observed the environment around the vine trees, and suddenly his gaze brightened slightly.

On one vine tree, he vaguely saw vines entangling an engine-like component. The part looked very new and heavy, almost pulling the branches of the vine tree down to the ground.

There were many monsters in the Machinery Factory, and Parasitic Fungus Vines could be seen in almost every place where one could gain a foothold.

Moreover, Wang Ting noticed that several Vine Skulls were standing in the middle of the courtyard like tree stumps, with their heads lowered in silence.

He cast his gaze up and down between the Vine Parasite Corpse, the Vine Skull, and the Vine Spider Nurse, and gradually an idea formed in his heart.

"Let's try drawing the snake out of its hole."

He searched all around, but the Grafted Mother Vine was not within his field of vision.

That massive body had only one possible hiding place—the factory workshop.

Therefore, if he wanted to lure it out, he had to make some commotion.

"Redeem Bloodthirsty Poison Web."

monster points — 400

Remaining monster points: 25

Wang Ting took a deep breath and instead started the redemption first. No one knew if the upcoming action would go smoothly; in case it turned out to be a fierce battle, this trait would be crucial.

It had been a few days since he wiped out the Three Wolves Gang, and his monster points were now sufficient for redemption.

As the trait merged into his body, there was once again excruciating pain originating from his bone marrow.

Wang Ting had gradually grown accustomed to this pain of physical transformation. Gritting his teeth and enduring it for half an hour, he perceived that a special power had emerged within his body.

As long as a thought stirred, a phantom vine network would appear around him, enveloping the surrounding area. The Bloodthirsty Poison Web would not actively entangle and bind like solid vines, but their traits were even more lethal. Within the envelopment, vine toxins would be applied to continuously erode, while simultaneously eroding flesh and blood to transform into the source of power for his own recovery.

The enhancement of the trait gave the power inside Wang Ting's body another small boost. Although it did not act directly on the physical body, the transcendent energy within his body was obviously more active, and the structure of the transcendent factors was becoming increasingly complex.

Wang Ting's gaze became sharper as he locked onto the Vine Spider Nurse crouching beneath the branches of the vine tree.

Bang! A bullet quickly slashed across the sky, landing straight on the body of the Vine Spider Nurse.

Before the Vine Spider Nurse could react, with a loud boom, a little more than half of its body was directly blasted apart, exploding into a bloody mist, and a shrill, miserable scream issued from its mouth.

That sound was like a female ghost roaring, with ten sharp claws scratching across a smooth glass surface, making one's scalp tingle and a layer of dense goosebumps rise on their back.

"Scream, scream away. It'd be best if you can lure your leader out."

Wang Ting did not fire a second shot. Although the shrill screams from 1,000 meters away were terrifying, they couldn't shake his current state in the slightest.

He simply gazed with a calm mind, aiming the muzzle at the entrance and exit of the factory workshop.

The shrill screams of the Vine Spider Nurse instantly awakened all the monsters in the processing factory.

The Parasitic Fungus Vines twisted crazily. Awakening from their deep slumber, they immediately locked onto the direction from which the sound came and began to surge like a tide.

Although a beat slow, as soon as they woke up, they immediately let out a deafening roar, similarly pointing their spearheads towards the Geer Hardware Factory. Wang Ting held his breath; even though some Parasitic Fungus Vines were already heading in his direction, he still did not move his body.

He was waiting, waiting for the Grafted Mother Vine to show its head.

10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds——

After quite a while, a commotion finally came from the factory workshop. A humanoid monster covered in distorted limbs and vines, composed of vine flesh and blood, appeared at the entrance and exit—it was precisely the Grafted Mother Vine.

Right now!

Wang Ting instantly pulled the trigger. "Bang, bang, bang, bang!" He pulled it four times in succession, firing large-caliber bullets like a string of pearls, instantly emptying the entire magazine.

The bullets were fired one after another, instantly slashing through mid-air and plunging into the body of the Grafted Mother Vine with astonishing explosive sounds, directly blasting four bloody, mangled big holes into its body.

The arm-like vine tentacles of the Grafted Mother Vine snapped directly, and viscous liquid constantly flowed from the large holes on its body, as if it were being torn apart at this moment.

A terrifying roar came from the depths of its throat, its ferocious visage seeming to destroy everything.

Roar!

Following a roar, countless monsters rushed straight toward Wang Ting.

Wang Ting picked up the corpse hound sniper rifle and leaped straight down, jumping from the second floor of the building to the ground. His figure rolled, and then he quickly fled into the distance. As he ran, he changed the magazine, quickly sprinting towards the second commanding height.

The recording prompts for hitting the Grafted Mother Vine just now were currently emerging before his eyes:

[Grafted Mother Vine recording progress: 19%]

[Grafted Mother Vine recording progress: 27%]

[Grafted Mother Vine recording progress: 35%]

[Grafted Mother Vine recording progress: 52%]

Looking at this information, Wang Ting thought quickly in his mind, various pieces of information flashing rapidly through his mind: Recording information might be linked to injury intensity; although there are discrepancies, my method is effective. However, the vitality of the Grafted Mother Vine is stronger than I imagined; I'm afraid there's no way to kill it directly this time.

Wang Ting's speed was extremely fast. He did not encounter the charging Parasitic Fungus Vines head-on, but instead circled far around their positions, made a large loop outside the Geer Hardware Factory, and came to a slope with higher terrain.

This slope was a good three to four hundred meters away from the Geer Hardware Processing Factory, but the circuitous route actually brought him a bit closer to the Machinery Factory, about 900 meters away.

Wang Ting quickly lay prone and then locked the muzzle onto the Machinery Factory.

The field of vision here was not as good as the roof just now, obscured by trees, but Wang Ting had already scouted the location beforehand and quickly locked onto the Grafted Mother Vine, whose figure was vaguely exposed behind layers of trees.

He took a deep breath, gripped the corpse hound sniper rifle firmly, and pulled the trigger five times in succession with "Bang, bang, bang!" The powerful recoil numbed his shoulders a bit.

Five bullets quickly swept across the sky, shattering falling leaves and landing precisely on the body of the Grafted Mother Vine.

The bullets exploded, blasting the distorted limbs on the body of this Grafted Mother Vine to pieces once again.

The Grafted Mother Vine reacted extremely quickly. After being hit by another shot, it immediately waved its numerous limbs and tentacles, constantly blocking in front of it.

The second shot followed closely, but it only blasted the vines and distorted limbs, failing to seriously injure the Grafted Mother Vine.

Afterward, the subsequent three shots all missed; either they missed the target, or they were blocked by the nearby Vine Skulls and Parasitic Fungus Vines, failing to successfully hit its body.

[Grafted Mother Vine recording progress: 73%]

[Grafted Mother Vine recording progress: 79%]

The Vine Skulls beside the Grafted Mother Vine did not dare to chase Wang Ting along with the Parasitic Fungus Vines anymore; instead, they turned around and ran quickly toward the Grafted Mother Vine.

They formed a large wall, blocking the direction from which the bullets were fired.

At this time, many Parasitic Fungus Vines also received the call of the Grafted Mother Vine and crowded toward it one after another.

For a time, the wave of Parasitic Fungus Vines almost submerged the figure of the Grafted Mother Vine, blocking Wang Ting's line of fire for continued shooting.

Wang Ting felt that the number of Parasitic Fungus Vines rushing from afar had split into two waves: one wave retreated, and the other wave was closely chasing and continuously surging toward his position.

"Its reaction is quite fast, but I have enough count."

Wang Ting changed the magazine. Looking at the stacked vine monsters blocking the bullets, this time he did not choose to relocate his position.

At this moment, the Grafted Mother Vine already showed signs of transferring back into the workshop. There was a large amount of sheet metal covering it there; once it went in, Wang Ting would never be able to snipe it again.

He stood up directly, found the best aiming position, and fired continuously again. The WHOOSH-BANG gunfire sounded like thunderclaps in the sky.

With the first shot down, the Parasitic Fungus Vines blocking in front were directly blasted into fragments.

However, there were too many Parasitic Fungus Vines; this shot could not pierce through layer by layer at all, only clearing a small vacant space among the monsters in front of him.

Wang Ting's second shot followed closely, still landing in that area. Before the Parasitic Fungus Vines could fill the gap, what blocked the bullet was a Vine Skull.

With this shot, more than half of the Vine Skull's arm and half of its chest directly shattered. The bullet pierced through its body and landed on the Grafted Mother Vine.

The Grafted Mother Vine was already suffering from fairly heavy injuries originally, and after being hit by another shot, its massive figure directly staggered, suddenly slowing down.

Wang Ting's subsequent three shots continued to bombard, landing directly on the body of the Grafted Mother Vine. This time, it directly blasted several of its grafted limbs to pieces, and its core body had become bloody and mangled.
