Of course, he couldn't find an answer to this kind of thing either with his existing knowledge or by searching online. Leng Yue decided that he would seek some experts' advice after returning to his home country. His main focus was on studying this beast bead.

Leng Yue sat at the table, carefully examining the bead in his hand under the desk lamp. The thing was like a crystal stone filled with cloudy wisps. It wasn't a perfect circle but had a bit of an uneven surface, somewhat like a large pearl formed naturally, yet a bit clearer than a pearl.

If he tried to smash it with a hammer, a light strike wouldn't break it, and a heavy one he was reluctant to do. Drilling holes with an awl or scraping powder with a blade all ended in failure. What puzzled him the most was that even when he tried with the hardest diamond, he still couldn't do anything to the bead.

D*mn it, this was kind of miraculous.

But it was understandable. Since wolves could spit fireballs and Taoist priests could send out lightning from their palms, compared to these, it seemed quite reasonable that a diamond couldn't scratch the bead.

Leng Yue had no choice but to put the bead back into his pocket. He thought that if there was a chance next time, he would ask the Taoist priest about it.

He recalled that it seemed that when he traveled through–let's call it that for now–the things that had physical contact with his body or were very close to him could be taken along. So, in order to prevent encountering similar situations again in the future, Leng Yue almost always carried his knives and guns with him, even when taking a bath.

He had to take a quick bath. Except for bathing, he even slept with his clothes on. The clothes were as sturdy and comfortable as possible. And he also wore cut-resistant underwear inside.

Sometimes, Leng Yue couldn't help thinking self-mockingly that he might be the most afraid-of-death assassin in the world.

But when would the Taoist priest summon him? That wasn't up to him, so Leng Yue had no choice but to work step by step.

The security measures around the high-ranking official were rather strict. However, two days later, he was going to give a public speech. This was a good opportunity, and Leng Yue decided to shoot him in the head.

An hour in advance, Leng Yue arrived on a building diagonally opposite the speech venue. This time, the weapon he got was still the handy AWM sniper rifle. However, although this was already the closest sniper point, it was still 1.6 kilometers away from the target, exceeding the maximum effective range of the AWM.

At this distance, limited by the accuracy of the firearm and affected by the crosswind today, shooting the target in the head would be a matter of luck. But being highly skilled and bold, Leng Yue still decided to take action and was ready to aim for the chest instead.

Relying on the powerful kinetic energy of the.300 Winchester Magnum bullets and the warheads he had carefully modified, the probability of failure would be extremely low if he hit the target once, and the mission would surely be completed if he hit it twice.

An hour passed quickly. In the scope, the high-ranking official walked onto the podium with his head held high. Leng Yue wasn't in a hurry because this speech would last for twenty minutes. By the time he finally corrected the windage, the high-ranking official just entered a relatively calm part of his speech.

This was good. It was a target that hardly moved and was very cooperative. A smile curved on the corner of Leng Yue's mouth, and he put his index finger on the trigger.

Suddenly, without any warning, Leng Yue was s*ck*d into darkness.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Here we go again!

A ray of sunlight suddenly stabbed into Leng Yue's eyes. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and got up from the ground. He found himself standing on the top of a mountain. To the left front, the Taoist priest was in a fierce fight with a bald eagle.

The bald eagle had a wingspan of five meters. Its sharp claws were like several steel hooks, moving up and down, left and right, and with its swooping attacks, its wings also fanned out visible wind swirls, making the Taoist priest's steps a bit unsteady.

Even so, the Taoist priest didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. Why did he summon me? Leng Yue couldn't figure it out.

Just then, suddenly it got dark above his head. Leng Yue looked up sharply and saw another huge black-headed eagle folding its wings and diving rapidly towards the mountain top. The setting sun outlined the silhouette of the huge eagle, and its sharp beak looked very much like the claw knife on Leng Yue's waist.

So these two eagles, one was holding back the Taoist priest, and the other would swoop down from the air from time to time. It was indeed not easy to deal with.

But this time, Leng Yue wasn't afraid. Not to mention the weapons on his waist, the AWM in his arms was already loaded!

As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Without the panic of the first time, Leng Yue quickly got into the groove. He raised his hand and fired a shot at the black-headed eagle's belly.

At a distance of just ten or twenty meters, there was no need to aim. With a loud bang, a spray of blood burst out from the black-headed eagle's belly.

The Taoist priest was also startled by the loud noise. He glanced back at Leng Yue and then continued the fight. Although the diving speed of the black-headed eagle didn't change, it became unsteady and lost its aim, crashing to the ground more than a yard away from the Taoist priest, kicking up a cloud of dust.

D*mn it, this guy was really tough. Seeing that the black-headed eagle was staggering to get up, Leng Yue didn't dare to slack off and fired a second shot at the eagle's body. Unexpectedly, the black-headed eagle just trembled in pain, and its sharp eagle eyes stared fiercely at Leng Yue.

Leng Yue couldn't help shivering all over. Only then did he notice that the black-headed eagle was using its wings to protect its body. The feathers on its wings were layer upon layer, pitch-black and shiny, like sheets of iron plates.

No wonder. It seemed that the first shot just hit the black-headed eagle's softest belly, so it was seriously injured. The second shot hit the feathers, and the bullet's kinetic energy was greatly weakened. Even if it penetrated and hit the body, it probably wouldn't cause too serious an injury.

Goodness gracious. Fortunately, it was a sniper rifle. If it had been a pistol, shooting at its wings would probably just tickle it. While thinking this, Leng Yue didn't dare to be idle and quickly aimed higher for the third shot.

The black-headed eagle was seriously injured in the abdomen and was slow in movement. Before it could gather strength to stand up, Leng Yue had already pulled the trigger. Half of the black-headed eagle's neck was broken, as if it had been suddenly twisted by a giant, bending ninety degrees to the left.

Done!

Leng Yue then pointed the muzzle of his gun at the bald eagle. Actually, from this angle, it was easy to hit its chest or abdomen, but the Taoist priest was in front and he couldn't take action.

Leng Yue shouted loudly, "Step back!"

The Taoist priest's instant lightning missed the eagle's head. Suddenly hearing Leng Yue's shout, he was slightly stunned and then jumped back. With this jump, he easily retreated three yards.

The bald eagle spread its wings and was about to chase after him. Just then, Leng Yue's bullet hit its chest. A bright red small hole appeared on its white downy feathers. The bald eagle trembled all over and then angrily flapped its wings at Leng Yue. Almost at the same time, another bullet shattered its head as big as a bowl.

Leng Yue succeeded with one strike. Before he could even take a breath, a hurricane hit him head-on. Leng Yue felt that his body was completely out of control. He rolled several times and was about to fall off the cliff. The rifle also fell aside.

Fortunately, the Taoist priest reached out from a distance and grabbed hard in Leng Yue's direction. Leng Yue felt as if he were a tumbleweed on the prairie that was pinned down by a pitchfork and immediately steadied himself on the edge of the cliff.

The Taoist priest curiously grabbed the AWM through the air and asked, "What is this thing?"

Leng Yue hadn't had such a refined conversation with anyone before and said dizzily, "This is a sniper rifle."

A gun? He had heard of the Setting Sun Golden Spear and the Overlord's Prestige Spear. What kind of gun was this sniper rifle? And it looked a bit... complicated.

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment. He felt that this thing was very different from the guns he was familiar with. After looking at it again, he threw it back.

"Whoosh..."

Leng Yue had just walked a few steps forward. Seeing the gun flying towards him, he quickly caught it with both hands, took two steps back and sat down on the edge of the cliff again.
