"You have successfully arrived at the Glory Canyon, receiving mission rewards: Bing Liang Wan x1, Swift Boots x1"
Upon entering the canyon, Bai Ye received the mission completion notification.
Bing Liang Wan (Pill) (Green): Instantly restores 50% stamina.
Swift Boots (Equipment) (Green): A pair of beautiful-looking military boots. Effect: Gale Force (When out of combat, your speed increases by 50 points, and your movement speed is increased by an additional 30%. This effect will be deactivated when entering combat.)
Bai Ye grinned. The Bing Liang Wan was not bad; it could replenish stamina.
As for the Swift Boots...
It couldn't be said they were useless, but their effect didn't work in combat, so they could only be used for travel.
However, since he had the Steel Slime, even a grasshopper's leg was still meat. He directly consumed it.
Meanwhile...
"You have received a new hidden mission."
"Prevent the activation of the Ancient Mechanical Giant. Mission rewards: Fragment of the Dawn Heart x1, Qualification to enter the First Level of the Hero's Tomb x1"
The moment the mission was completed, a new hidden mission objective appeared.
However...
Bai Ye looked around.
This Glory Canyon had a bit of a paradise-like feel, with peculiar plants everywhere and the constant sound of birdsong. Magical floating stones hung in the air, resembling steps.
But where was the ancient giant?
Suddenly, as Bai Ye was thinking, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble.
Bai Ye swayed and then knelt down, stabilizing himself.
"An earthquake?"
The sound of "rumble, rumble" echoed from afar.
Bai Ye quickly looked up and then saw a column of green light rising in the distance, its radiance spreading outwards.
"Looks like I know where the ancient giant is?"
Bai Ye grinned and quickly ran forward.
However, after running only a hundred meters, Bai Ye suddenly felt something was wrong.
A sense of impending danger!
Bai Ye swiftly dodged to the side. The moment he dodged, gunshots rang out, and a burst of bullets struck the spot where Bai Ye had been standing, shattering the ground.
Bai Ye looked towards a towering rock formation to his side. A young man with blond hair stood there, wearing a top hat and a medieval-style puffy-sleeved shirt and suit. He held two strangely shaped pistols.
Bai Ye looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
The blond man smiled and tapped his hat brim with a pistol, saying, "My dual guns will answer that."
Bai Ye tilted his head and looked at him, saying, "Alright, then let your dual guns provide the answer!"
Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand. Immediately, the Steel Slime split into mud balls in Bai Ye's palm, quickly solidifying into twin pulse pistols.
The moment the dual guns were in his hands, Bai Ye immediately pulled the triggers upwards towards the rock.
Bang, bang, bang...
Gunshots sounded, and the top of the rock was hit by pulse beams, immediately exploding.
The blond man leaped directly from the rock, inverted his body in mid-air, and then fired at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly dodged to the side. A burst of bullets hit the ground, shattering it again.
Bai Ye showed a hint of surprise.
On one hand, he was surprised by the opponent's marksmanship; could he fire so accurately in that posture?
On the other hand, it was due to the opponent's dual guns. The firing rate of those dual guns was astonishingly fast. They were like ordinary firearms, yet also like technological weapons. They fired bullets, but each bullet was enveloped in light.
At the same time...
The blond man landed without even staggering. He stomped his feet, using the ground for leverage, and leaped sideways, pulling the trigger at Bai Ye again.
Clang, clang, clang...
Metallic impacts sounded from Bai Ye's body. The opponent's bullets continuously struck Bai Ye, and then circles of vortices appeared on his body.
However, because they were solidified by the Steel Slime, the vortices created by the bullets quickly healed.
Things solidified by the Steel Slime would not be destroyed by combat damage.
But...
This didn't mean Bai Ye wouldn't get hurt!
At this moment, Bai Ye could feel his shoulder bleeding, and a sharp pain made his expression contort.
The opponent's bullets...
Had an armor-piercing effect that ignored defense!
The blond man smiled and raised his guns, saying, "Show, ti/"
So then...
Since the teleportation distance was a fixed three meters, he could predict it in advance...
Bang, bang!
Bai Ye fired again, hitting the ground with both shots.
Bai Ye was speechless. Predict what ghost!
Even if he knew the opponent's movement distance, he had no idea which direction they would move, so he still had to rely on guessing!
