Chapter 638 - 196: [Encounter Battle] (6800)_2
Chen Yan opened the car door and quickly climbed onto the roof. With the howling wind, he tilted his ear to listen carefully for a while and then forcefully sniffed with his nose.
The effects of multiple enhancements to his body were evident.
Not only was his hearing sharp, but he also heard the distant growls of the Hunting Beast and whistles of the Fierce Beast Race from the east, carried by the wind.
And along with the wind, he seemed to catch a hint of the rank stench!
Having once been a slave to the Fierce Beast Race, Chen Yan naturally was not unfamiliar with this smell.
He picked up the binoculars from his chest and looked in that direction for a while, his lips curling— a suitable target!
Chen Yan quickly jumped down from the car roof, plunged into the car, and soon pulled out a weapon pack.
In the snowy field at night, an arrow with an ignition device attached was shot by Chen Yan far away, hitting the minefield about five hundred steps away.
Chen Yan was dressed in an anti-stab suit, and he also draped a snowy cloak over his back for camouflage.
He quietly watched the arrow fly into the minefield area. After the ignition device bound to the arrowhead exploded, flames leapt up, with enough fuel inside to keep the flame burning for about three to five minutes.
Hmm, that should be enough... Chen Yan speculated silently in his heart.
Quickly, the distant whistling began to change direction; evidently, the other side noticed the fire from Chen Yan’s position in the night, perhaps mistaking it for Scouts of the Thunder Beast cavalry camping from Snow Cliff Pass. Thus, the whistling sound drew closer straight towards here!
Chen Yan quickly clenched his fist and then relaxed it, vigorously exercising his fingers and wrists.
Just as the brothers in the Brotherhood said, the Fierce Beast Race is indeed belligerent and reckless!
Whenever they encounter human Scout teams in the snowfield, they charge recklessly.
Those guys seem to have little concept of tactics and strategies, from head to toe, probably only knowing two words: head-on.
So just leave some traces simply and patiently wait! As long as the Fierce Beast Race’s sled team spots it, they will definitely charge over.
Chen Yan squinted his eyes, grabbing the gun pack, overturned, and jumped onto the car roof, laid it beside him, quickly pulled up the vehicle-mounted machine gun, and swiftly checked the ammunition chain...
A few minutes later, the sled team appeared in view!
Chen Yan squinted his eyes and counted silently, a total of five sleds, each pulled by two Hunting Beasts, with roughly twelve or thirteen Fierce Beast Race members on the sleds.
Though it’s night, the visibility in the snowfield is not low, Chen Yan slowly adjusted and calibrated the shooting area with the machine gun...
Finally...
Boom!!
A roar echoed from the minefield!
After one sled rushed into the minefield, it only lunged forward for about ten meters before being directly overturned by the blast wave!
A Hunting Beast beneath the flying shrapnel was immediately torn apart on the spot! The other one also rolled and crashed.
The sled had already overturned, one Fierce Beast Race member fell out, while another was directly crushed beneath it— but judging from the blood covering him and his lack of struggle under the sled, he was probably already dead.
Then, before Chen Yan could react...
Boom!
The second sled that charged into the minefield also exploded!
With cold eyes, Chen Yan aimed the machine gun and pulled the trigger!
The sound of the vehicle-mounted machine gun when shooting didn’t go ’dada dada,’ instead, it was a deep ’dong dong dong’ sound resonating like a hammer into one’s heart, with the coppery ring of bullets striking one’s eardrums.
Chen Yan distinctly saw the third sled being covered by the trajectory, completely tearing the pulling Hunting Beasts into pieces!
Then the trajectory pierced through the sled, and the two Fierce Beast Race members on it didn’t even have a chance to jump out, their bodies were directly blown apart!
The 30MM caliber bullets were enough to shatter the carbon-based bodies into smithereens!
The fourth and fifth sleds had tried to turn— but with livestock as the driving force for sled cars, trying to turn while sprinting delayed the reaction time considerably.
The fourth sled quickly rushed into the barrage area, and after being swept by the machine gun’s trajectory, splinters and flesh splattered everywhere.
The fifth sled barely dodged the trajectory— but one pulling Hunting Beast was abruptly cut in half, and with just one remaining Hunting Beast, the sled was forcibly pulled almost scraping past the barrage.
Chen Yan wasn’t in a hurry. After swiftly putting down the machine gun, he picked up a rifle from the gun pack beside him, laid down on the car roof, and calmly observed the shooting view through his scope.
The last sled, though not hit by the heavy machine gun, showed significantly slower speed and reaction after losing one Hunting Beast.
Chen Yan shot once, directly blowing the head off of the remaining Hunting Beast, watched the three fierce Beast Race members on the sled jump off, swinging axes fiercely as they charged and sprinted towards here.
Chen Yan snorted and opened fire again.
He fired five shots, with four hits, and three of them hit the vital spots.
Two Fierce Beast Race members rolled on the ground on the spot, while the last member surprisingly emitted a burst of red light, and Chen Yan’s rifle bullet only caused a ripple on the red light.
Chen Yan frowned.
But he didn’t continue firing, because that guy had already run into the minefield.
