Chapter 466: Chapter 110: Encounter Battle

The Black Hand Master’s Prosthetic Eye automatically initiated rapid photography the instant the bullet appeared.

With the assistance of Hero’s brain, enhanced by the cultivation of Inner Strength, the software instantaneously locked onto two frames within a segment of the footage.

They were the moments when the rock was shattered and when Hero was shot.

The Black Hand Master’s Prosthetic Eye emitted a pulse to quickly measure the distance.

Then, a model appeared in the master’s mind.

Hero was suspended in mid-air, with the rock fragments just beginning to scatter.

— So... the trajectory of the bullet...

The Black Hand Master calculated the bullet’s path.

His Prosthetic Eye automatically marked the extended line of that short trajectory.

But that was not enough.

The data were too scant.

The Black Hand Master lacked atmospheric flow data, so he couldn’t directly determine the enemy’s position.

The only certainty was that the enemy was using a high-powered sniper rifle close in caliber to a "small cannon."

Such a large caliber bullet even had a certain chance of having a secondary guidance feature.

A master combined with such bullets could create very tricky paths.

The Black Hand Master wanted to go out and help. Without aid, Hero was surely doomed.

But the Black Hand Master also knew very clearly that if he rashly went out, he would simply die alongside Hero.

— He had to find that sniper.

Several grooves on the Black Hand Master’s back opened. Narrow metal objects, resembling gun barrels, slid out and fell into the Black Hand Master’s hand.

The Black Hand Master quickly assembled them behind a rock.

It was his beloved gun, a non-standard model, modified by himself based on the classic "Ice Wind Rainstorm Three Model." In the past, gunners could only adapt their techniques to their firearms, as the firearms of that era were mass-produced by factories. However, 3D printing technology allowed everyone to become a craftsman, and some martial arts masters, fully understanding the operational principles of weapons, could also adjust their weapons.

The Black Hand Master set up the sniper rifle, aiming it in the direction the bullet had come from.

Although he didn’t know the exact location, he had deduced the general direction.

After confirming the target coordinates, the gun needed to be moved only a few centimeters.

At the same time, the armor on the Black Hand Master’s side abdomen separated and then unfolded and transformed, slowly rising into the air. They were actually two disc-shaped drones.

The Black Hand Master’s special bullets and drone swarm were all in his own small vehicle, and it was too late to call them now. He had only a hundred sniper rifle bullets and five smart bullets with secondary guidance capabilities.

Without confirming the target, he couldn’t set the objects for the smart bullets.

The key now was to find that sniper.

Hero, having had one leg shot through, was briefly stunned, then he lay down on the ground, slowly wriggling, and pulled back behind the vehicle.

The surrounding rocks couldn’t provide cover against bullets of that caliber; by comparison, the vehicle’s wreckage was a bit safer.

He was also thinking about ways to escape.

Another gunshot. The huge vehicle vibrated and began to shake.

It must have been the sniper rifle.

But it didn’t damage the armor at the bottom of the vehicle.

— They can’t see from this angle, can they...

The Black Hand Master’s thoughts flew, and he maneuvered the drones.

Then, his two Prosthetic Eyes moved independently, each targeting a drone.

Black Hand Master’s Inner Strength was somewhat unique, called "Brahma Nirvana Glaze Skill." It could suppress the activity of the corpus callosum through technological means, reducing the connection between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. At the same time, he mastered the technique of "Ambidextrous Combat," simultaneously deploying two distinct styles of Inner Strength attacks.

This wasn’t about "using two types of Inner Strength at the same time," but rather the sensation of "running two windows on an application and switching back and forth."

Black Hand Master’s Prosthetic Eye emitted a laser signal to connect with his two drones.

Although his fleet of drones wasn’t here, it wasn’t necessary for a sniper to have his own fleet.

Someone else’s would do.

Powerful Inner Strength flowed along the laser signal into Black Hand Master’s two drones and was then converted into a radio signal, bursting open in midair.

Black Hand Master’s consciousness quickly surged into another dimension.

For Black Hand Master, this feeling was akin to stretching out his hand in the air with his eyes closed, and then suddenly touching a wall.

—Very good.

Data quickly flowed into Black Hand Master’s mind: the movement of the atmosphere, the specific terrain...

And most importantly... the enemy’s position...

At this moment, the sniper finally realized what was happening.

—Such strong Inner Strength!

Black Hand Master emitted a burst of amazement. To harness more computational resources from his brain, his Soth Divine Realm had also linked the sense of touch. It was as if he was pressing down on a small cargo ship with a pair of invisible hands!

After several rounds of battling with Inner Strength, Black Hand Master suddenly adjusted his gun barrel.

In that instant, the enemy’s drone fleet predicted that between Black Hand Master’s gun muzzle and the enemy, there would be a calm air mass without any high or low-pressure clumps.

Black Hand Master captured this moment. He shifted his gun muzzle half an inch to the left, then fired.

Almost within a split second, he saw a faint firelight from the opposite side.

The enemy must have used some sort of flash suppressor.

One of Black Hand Master’s drones was taken down.

Black Hand Master’s bullet, however, penetrated the rock and hit the enemy.

After the rock shattered, Black Hand Master confirmed the enemy’s identity.

"That guy is... Earth Might Star?"

Although the Green Forest Tiger List was issued by the government to encourage uncontrollable forces to fight among themselves, the information contained therein was indeed authentic.

Heroes, although opposed to fighting over rankings, still read through the list—because it indeed contained a lot of valuable intelligence.

Earth Might Star, pulling chestnuts out of the fire, Xia De, a Green Forest gunner who liked using large-caliber sniper rifles.

Black Hand Master was a Hero, not on the Green Forest list. But if comparisons were made, he would likely rank around twenty-seventh or twenty-eighth on the Heavenly Gang Star list.

There was no essential difference between him and the Fiend Earth Star who ranked at the top of his category.

Only then did Black Hand Master breathe a sigh of relief, muttering to himself that it was lucky it had taken only one shot to settle that enemy.

In every sense, it was quite satisfactory.

He then slowly walked out, approaching that Hero.

That Hero had also noticed Black Hand Master. The gunshot just now made him aware of Black Hand Master’s presence.

The Hero exclaimed, "Black Hand Master... no, wait! Be careful! There’s someone else!"

"What..."

Black Hand Master was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard earlier.

There was a force instigating the Green Forest to attack Heroes...

Just then, his second drone was also destroyed.

In that instant, the drone captured a gathering shadow nearby.
