[Charging Progress: 100%]

[Spirit is pure, acquiring [Overload] effect, power of Spiritual Strike increased by 30%.]

A Silver-level Spirit Core was inserted, and the Spiritual Giant Cannon trembled, its dim patterns lighting up.

Chu Yi was delighted, then froze the next moment.

A red "X" mark appeared before him; non-owners of the Giant Cannon could not use it.

"Alright."

Chu Yi spread his hands helplessly, then pulled Jiang Qiuyun over, smiling. "Sweet daughter, you wouldn’t want your Pet Beast to get hurt, right?"

"Eh? Dad, how can I help it then?" Jiang Qiuyun tilted her head and asked.

"Use this!"

Chu Yi slapped the Spiritual Giant Cannon. Strong Electric Sparks flickered at the muzzle, bursting with a stunning arc.

Jiang Qiuyun was skeptical, but as soon as her delicate hand touched the cannon, a familiar sensation surged within her.

[Certification Successful. Serial Number "009" at your service.]

Her eyes brightened. The heavy cannon in her hands began to mechanically assemble, its energy level jumped to "2", and a support unfolded from the bottom, complete with a built-in aiming reticle. It transformed into an anti-material sniper rifle.

Chu Yi was dumbfounded.

This Giant Cannon can even transform into a sniper rifle! Even the City Defense Army’s high command might not possess such equipment. Jiang Qiuyun’s status is even higher than I anticipated. Could she be the daughter of some powerful faction leader from those clichéd dramas?

However, with her memory wiped, Jiang Qiuyun, though she had a feel for it, couldn’t fire.

This led to Chu Yi grasping her delicate hand, using the scope to lock onto a Nightmare Deer. As soon as one entered the reticle, he fired.

WHOOSH!

The muzzle emitted a faint electric arc.

A spiritual bullet trailed an arc in mid-air, veering slightly, but precisely hit a Nightmare Deer’s head.

BANG!

Blood splattered. The head exploded into fragments, drenching the nearby Nightmare Deer!

Demons most feared pure Spiritual Energy, which possessed purifying effects. Ordinary gunpowder weapons posed little threat against twisted and eerie Demons, causing minimal harm. But add a trace of Spirit, and they could deal true damage.

Moreover, for bullets like Chu Yi’s, constructed purely of Spirit, a single shot inflicting massive damage was almost an extravagance.

"I hit it, Dad!" Jiang Qiuyun exclaimed, reveling in the accomplishment of hitting a target and also eager to show off to her father.

As for the bloody scene, for a Scumbag Female Knight accustomed to munitions, it didn’t stir much feeling deep down.

"Well done, sweetheart, you’re outstanding."

Chu Yi was surprised by the firearm’s recoil. Since it used spiritual bullets, the recoil was very light, almost imperceptible.

Truly the perfect weapon.

He immediately prepared for a second shot.

"YIP?"

Bika glanced at their "intimate" posture, suddenly feeling redundant, as if it had nothing to do. It boredly chased its tail, spinning in a circle of sparks.

So love can shift, right?

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Thus, from two thousand meters away, a faint electric light flashed, sweeping up dust. The next moment, a Nightmare Deer amidst the chaos was shot in the head.

With the Dragon Eagle drawing attention and the significant distance between them, their actions remained concealed.

Chu Yi held the young woman’s soft hand, a colorful nebula swirling in his pupils.

His Evil-Repelling Eyes not only induced hypnosis but also significantly enhanced his vision, thereby improving his accuracy.

Sorry, I’ve enabled a lock-on hack.

Within five minutes, over thirty Nightmare Deer had fallen to the gun, an average of one every ten seconds.

This is the importance of equipment.

「 」

"ROAR!"

As tribe members died inexplicably one after another, the entire Nightmare Deer tribe descended into chaos. There were even signs of some Nightmare Deer attempting to defect.

The Nightmare Deer King finally realized something was amiss.

That idiot Dragon Eagle’s lightning is indeed highly lethal, but with my intervention, such heavy losses should not have occurred. Behind this, there’s a human Beast Tamer!

"CHIRP!" the Dragon Eagle shrieked. Damn you all! Let me show you what it means to shatter darkness with thunder! Chu Yi thought, interpreting its cry.

The Dragon Eagle stood atop the thunderclouds, preparing to unleash its ultimate move. Although it lacked Jiang Qiuyun’s Spiritual Energy support and couldn’t use certain forbidden techniques, one move was sufficient to deal with this scum.

BOOM——

Dark clouds gathered overhead, faint electric lights flashed, and lightning intertwined. A gentle breeze intensified into a gale, which quickly coalesced into a tornado.

Eight tornadoes, drawn together by a larger central one, merged into a colossal vortex that towered over the desert, resembling a soaring Giant Dragon...

SWISH——

Sand, rocks, cacti, and bones were all flung high into the air, as if fiercely grasped and shattered by Ancient Void Gods! Even the Nightmare Deer caught in its path were swept up like scraps of cloth.

Subsequently, a wisp of energy stirred the clouds above. Streaks of bright purple lightning descended along the tornado, unleashing a large-scale lightning strike within its range!

Special move, [Thunder Strike].

The Dragon Eagle, bearing "Dragon" in its name, possessed a dragon attribute, naturally exuding an oppressive aura. Coupled with its mastery over lightning, it was a Pet Beast coveted by many Beast Tamers, ranked T0 on the War General-level Pet Beast list for its sheer power.

And the elite-level Nightmare Deer, facing this devastating blow, simply exploded!

"AWOO——"

Realizing this, the Nightmare Deer King let out a low growl. Wisps of blood-mist rose from the flesh of the fallen Nightmare Deer, pouring into its body and coalescing into a Blood Core.

This Nightmare Deer King had actually mastered the Blood Core technique of the Life Sect.

The next moment, a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket slammed fiercely into the Nightmare Deer King, shattering several of its bony antlers.

Immediately after, another purple lightning bolt struck, followed by a succession of thirteen, each carrying destructive power, yet failing to kill the damn bastard.

Raging flames burned, and thick smoke billowed.

"CHIRP! CHIRP!"

The Dragon Eagle circled proudly outside the rising black smoke.

Yet, the black smoke generated by the lightning was unusually thick, billowing like an alarm signal.

"GURGLE..."

"WOOF..."

"Help... help, monster..."

From within the black smoke, unsettling sounds and faint chewing noises abruptly emerged. These sounds melded, creating an eerie dissonance that radiated in all directions, twisting Wills, corroding Souls, and corrupting Spirit!

This was the contamination from the Abyss, deep within the Bloody Wilderness!

The next moment, the billowing black smoke writhed like a living creature. One after another, scarlet eyeballs emerged from it, all locking onto the Dragon Eagle.

Greed, consumption, possession, erosion...

WHOOSH!

The black smoke condensed into a giant claw, covered in zipper-like maws that opened and closed, reaching for the Dragon Eagle.

"CHIRP! CHIRP!"

Detecting the imminent danger, the crafty Dragon Eagle had already tried to flee at the first sign of trouble.

But having exhausted a great deal of Spiritual Energy, its speed was not what it once was. It was quickly cornered and intercepted by the monstrous hand, and finally caught.

A mass of tendrils flailed from the hand, brushing against the Dragon Eagle’s scales. The tendrils emitted high-energy radiation, subjecting the Dragon Eagle to mental pollution and eroding its will.
