Chapter 176 Actual Combat with Mechanical Sui (1/2)
”The beasts started killing each other.”
Smiles appeared on their faces as they decided to wait and see.
The beasts fought for more than half an hour, leaving corpses everywhere. The white lion was the final winner. Blood from other beasts had added red to its snowy fur. It stood before the gap and growled at the rest of the beasts, indicating that they were his prey. The beasts backed off and left the prey for the king of the beasts.
The beast herd was gone, but the strongest one of them all, the white lion, was still waiting outside. As it clawed at the hole, the opening became larger, so it would not be long before Yang Dian and Ned had nowhere to hide.
Their hearts sank to the bottom.
Ned bit his lips and said, ”Your wounds are too severe. You be the bait, and maybe I can live.”
Yang Dian looked at his heavily wounded body and said, ”It's true I won't be able to escape. It's better for one to die than both. If you can make it out alive, remember to take care of my family.”
”I will. I will raise your child and take care of your wife.”
They looked at each other and stayed silent for a moment. Then they both gave a bitter smile.
”Stop talking nonsense. If we're going to die, we'll die together.”
Yang Dian stood up in a struggle and said, ”We'll use everything we have left.”
Ned nodded. White light started lighting up on his hands as he got ready for combat.
Just as they were going to leave and use everything they had, a flash of blue light dashed across the night sky and hit the white lion's left eye. Immediately, it burst into blood. Then they heard the sound of a gunshot.
The white lion roared in anger and sprinted toward the source of the gunshot.
Yang Dian and Ned were stunned, which then turned into excitement.
”Someone's came to help!”
Five hundred meters away, Han Xiao lay prone on the floor with the Ghost sniper rifle, blue light glowing along the circuits on its body.
Through the sniper scope, he saw the white lion rushing toward him with a bloody left eye.
This shot was fired with Flaming Will, which this time it triggered a lucky 2.2 times damage, together with [Overload], vital point, and sneak attack critical damage. The damage was an astonishing 1,800! This was the highest damage Han Xiao had dealt with a single shot.
However, the white lion was still alive and well like it did not affect him. Han Xiao looked at the information on the interface, and as he expected, the white lion was indeed the beast king. Its real name was Mutant White Lion King, LV 56. It had a lot of beast specialty abilities. For instance, it's health was a horrifying amount of more than 18,000, so the shot only too around 10% of its health, as well as a sight loss debuff.

Its attributes were very high, and it had many special abilities, which included one called [Crazed Rage] that largely enhances movement speed, attack speed, and damage as health decreased. An extremely dangerous ability.
This BOSS was supposed to be fought by a team, but Han Xiao was solo. However, with the new mechanical suit, the risk was much lower.
Han Xiao stood up and slid backward while firing with his sniper continuously. Despite wearing Viper, he would not opt for close-range combat. Mixing combat strategies was the right way to go. By using the sniper and mechanical suit at the same time, he could have an advantage in both close-up and ranged combat. The scanning module analyzed the nearby terrain and backed up automatically without Han Xiao having to look back, so he could fully focus on dealing damage.
