Chapter 411: Second Hub (1/2)

Sam who arrived at the new tree didn't stop his sniping, he aimed immediately and shot another candidate with two consecutive bullets.

Another spatial ring fell to the floor and another candidates was gone.

The rest of them looked towards the tree he is standing on and made a run for it.

The trees around him all started reacting differently, it seems 'man' of the herb garden didn't get his location and is trying to use the trees to find him and at this moment, the trees he was in trembled slightly and Sam understood his location was revealed.

But this time, he didn't move immediately, the tree's movements are sluggish and slow, the candidates are running towards him. Sam aimed the rifle once again and shot two times and another person fell.

By the time the candidates appeared, he disappeared from the tree.

The same situation repeated itself for one more time and only three of them are still there.

As for how they survived it is not for lack of trying. The three of them are really good at their instincts and skills they were able to defend themselves. Maybe it is luck or coincidence, out of three two of them are chosen ones Sam knew. As for the third person, he doesn't know yet.

After some time, Sam halted his attack.

He couldn't crack their defence, in fact they couldn't just block it fluidly, they are also struggling, but one way or other they are able to block the bullet just before it hit them.

Sam is getting sick of it. So, decided to change the bullets.

This time, he loaded the Energy cell bullet.

Since they want to block them, they can block all they want.

Sam shot three times consecutively.

Three bullets are aimed at same person and that person is the other one who he didn't know.

She is a fire elemental user, from herb garden. She might be one of the Pill makers or potion makers.

All this while, her defence is the weakest and also most edgy one. She is using the fire elemental fusion. Of course, it is not full fusion, she is using partial fusion of fire element but her partial fusion is different from others.

The spot of her body where the bullet is going through will be completely turned into fire elemental body and the metallic penetration bullets couldn't hurt her, it would directly go through her body.

As for head shots, it is almost impossible as they are moving too much and she is using her hands to guard the head as much as possible.

The partial elemental fusion intrigued Sam. That is because this is not how orthodox fusion works. Normally a cultivator will activate elemental fusion by layer by layer of their body, but this person seems to have followed different approach where she would complete fusion but only to a small portion of the body.

But it is only some form of intrigue. Nothing much.

Sam made sure that he is in perfect distance from them and shot the energy cell bullets and that too energy cells of fire element.

The lady did the same thing and activated elemental fusion on her chest where the bullet was about to hit. The bullet entered her body and just before it was about to come out from her back, she widened her eyes. She could sense that something is wrong.

The bullet suddenly exploded and her fusion was cancelled. There is a hole in her chest which can fit a baseball.

She looked at the remaining two bullets came and dismembered her arm.

The remaining two were shocked completely.

They didn't expect that something like this would happen. The girl who was hit completely disappeared instantly and her spatial ring was also left behind.

At this moment, Sam decided to shoot the next target, but just before he did that, he noticed that they are not staying there, nor they are trying to find his location, they are escaping.

It is almost like their life depended on it.

Sam still wanted to shoot, but their speed is too high and they are not moving towards his next target anyway. So, there is no need for him to worry, at least for the moment.

Sam then stored his rifle and started moving towards the next hub.

The second hub has three groups and the most number of people. The Usaine sect's five members, the Lightning Spear sect's four members and thunder god temple's three members are there. With a total of twelve members.

The third hub was only targeted by the four members of the Thunder bolt sect.
