Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"Ah!"

As Bai E drew his bow to accumulate power, a warrior already caught in the besiegement let out a painful scream.

The warrior, wounded by a cleaver on his arm, was almost immediately submerged by the surge of cleavers in the next moment.

Slash after slash, cut after cut.

Amidst the flurry of blade shadows, flesh and blood flew in all directions.

Blade edges, serrated teeth, spikes... countless attacks devastated the warrior's body simultaneously, and even the combat suit could not protect the frail human frame from such an onslaught.

Those orcs' attacks followed no rules.

They neither aimed to strike body parts to kill the enemy quickly nor thought about how to allocate their force and devise tactical plans.

Raging battle, chaotic noise—that was what they pursued.

The roar of gunpowder, the enemy's screams... all the messy sounds excited them with a primitive thrill of battle.

The fallen warrior thus suffered even more brutal blows.

Dying under chaotic blades was excruciatingly painful, yet no one could rescue him; each warrior was nearly facing a number of orcs far exceeding their own.

"Waaaaagh!" An orc that chopped off a warrior's head held up the warrior's pain-stricken, unyielding face, examined it in front of him for a moment, then bit into the nose.

After casually chewing a few times, the orc threw away the head; his pet dog Doug excitedly pounced on it, sniffing around the severed head before taking a bite out of the ear.

The orc who turned around chewed vigorously, his facial muscles twisting, and his face and entire body smeared with bloodstains as if they were his medals of honor, gloriously scattered over him.

"Waaaaagh!" Other orcs looked up to this bravest among them and roared in admiration.

"Yuck! Doesn't taste good at all!" The orc, after chewing a few times, spat out the nose in disgust and kicked Doug, who was excitedly tearing at the head.

Thrown in a parabolic arc, Doug flew towards the distance like a rubber ball...

"So boring!"

They yearned for the fiercest of battles, not one-sided slaughters.

Whether it was bullying others single-handedly or being bullied single-handedly, neither held any interest for them.

Only the screams of their enemies might provide a little entertainment, but these were nowhere near as enjoyable as the actual fight they reveled in.

If not for the bounty of teeth, he really wouldn't be interested.

"Ptooey!" So he spat again.

However, the trajectory of Doug, who had been kicked away, didn't get very far.

"Whoosh!"

Bai E completed his power accumulation.

[Activate "Power Strike."]

Accumulate power—Stabilize the wind.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Combo technique—Piercing Wind Breaker!

The arrow shot forth like a leaping fish, and a hurricane arose from the ground.

The air in front of the arrow's trajectory was instantaneously expelled by an unimaginable force, allowing the arrow itself to shoot through a vacuum.

The intense disturbance of air formed a transverse hurricane powerful enough to sweep away everything, drawing towards it any attractable debris near the arrow's path.

Including unclaimed dust, including the bodies of the orcs.

The massed orcs only felt their bodies suddenly drawn by an immense suction, involuntarily aligning along a single straight line.

Before they could realize what was affecting their bodies, a cool sensation pierced through them.

The arrow unimpededly penetrated orcs' bodies aligned nearly in a straight line, and even the orcs' proudly resilient bones could not resist this arrow.

The hurricane followed the arrow, furiously pouring into the trajectory left by the arrow.

The insides of the orcs, already hollowed out by the arrow, were ravaged by the gale force that gushed in, so that even a demon's body at its peak would be shot through from front to back, let alone these ordinary orcs.

The orcs aligned roughly in a straight line did not all get struck in their core body parts, but even an arm pierced through would have its wound and flesh shredded effortlessly by the invading wind.

In the wake of a single arrow, green flesh and blood were carried away by the storm, mingling and grinding into pulp within the wind.

The whole row of orcs was as if hit by the most powerful anti-material sniper rifle, with lost arms and broken legs being relatively minor injuries.

It all happened so quickly that the wounded orcs didn't even feel pain until they disintegrated into nothingness when the arrow reached its maximum range, only then belatedly realizing parts of their bodies were forever gone.

The consequence of massive bodily loss was their belated collapse, not yet dead, but their combat capability vastly reduced.

[Trigger "Piercing Wind Breaker"! Successfully penetrated multiple targets, ranged weapon mastery experience +5.]

[Dealt 80 piercing damage to the target! The target's body severely damaged!]

Seven of them.

He had not killed them outright, but he had relieved some pressure for his comrades for the time being.

Bai E flicked his eyelid and drew another arrow to his bow.

With his current full reserve of action power, he could at most release three more arrows.

These three arrows had to achieve results that could lay the foundation for victory.

Bai E readjusted his stance, looking for an attack path that could penetrate even more enemies with a single arrow.

Spotting an opportunity, Bai E once again struck decisively.

After a brief accumulation of power, the arrow flew out like a dragon!

"Whoosh!"

The fierce storm blew across the battlefield once more, and all the enemies on the attack path were instantaneously drawn together involuntarily.

And then, an arrow through the heart!

"Pffft pffft pffft pffft~"

It was as if piercing through tofu, the bodies of a group of beastmen were instantly penetrated, the residual hurricane following the guidance of the arrow, howling through the wounds, tearing away large chunks of flesh and blood.

This arrow dissipated 500 meters away, in an instant.

The ordinary arrows, enhanced by extraordinary strength, couldn't withstand the attack's own burden and shattered to pieces in the exploding force, just like the objects it struck, vanishing without a trace.

The distance of 500 meters was Bai E's current level 4 range for shooting specialization, plus the bonus from the Extraordinary Talent—Weapon Master, an additional level 1 bonus to effective range control.

As for the bow's own stated range of 800 meters, it was the maximum range supported by the craftsmanship of the bow, not the actual performance level.

[Trigger "Piercing Wind Breaker"! Successfully penetrated multiple targets, long-range weapon mastery experience +5.]

[Inflicted 90 points of piercing damage on the target! The target's structure greatly damaged!]

One arrow, twelve beastmen!

Thanks to the beastmen's lack of planning and tendency to swarm in battle, Bai E was able to find a perfect angle for his shot.

If the first arrow hadn't caught too much attention in the chaos of the battlefield, the second arrow's release almost directly turned the tide of the entire battle.

Originally, the forty or so beastmen had a huge advantage in numbers, but after two arrows, about twenty had been nearly directly halved.

With their numbers drastically reduced, the beastmen's disadvantage without tactics was immediately exposed. Beastmen in equal numbers were never the match for humans—they were the true fanatics of swarm tactics.

The frontline warriors, sensing the sharp drop in the number of opponents, were spirited and had no time for distractions, only subconsciously exclaiming.

"Fuck, who's that fierce!"

"Which brother has this kind of killer move?"

"It's Bai E..."

[Lucky Shot energy charge +11.]

"waaaaaagh!"

The same cry, but Bai E seemed to hear a different emotion in it.

It seemed to be shock, as well as increased excitement.

Far from being demoralized by the horrifying killing power of the previous two arrows, even those beastmen who had half their bodies shot away by Bai E attempted to struggle to get up from the ground and launch an attack once more in their frenzied battle consciousness.

There were no orders, or rather, the meaningless "waaaagh" was the order.

In just an instant, beastmen who discovered that Bai E had fired the two arrows almost simultaneously abandoned their original opponents, who were close at hand, and rushed over, waving the variously shaped cleavers in their hands.

Even three beastmen were holding pistols in their hands, attempting to aim at Bai E.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Loud noises rang out across the battlefield, but the beastmen's aim was really poor, or perhaps it was their oddly-shaped pistols that were inherently inaccurate.

That they didn't blow up in their hands was a miracle in itself.

Bai E, still moving, simply sought an appropriate angle to shoot his arrow and didn't even make any deliberate misleading dodges—still, the beastmen's black guns couldn't hit accurately.

The bullets fired by the beastmen exploded on the ground behind Bai E, a wave of heat surging over him.

The alarming heat brushed against Bai E's combat suit from behind, his wild hair dancing against the orange-red backdrop, standing his ground, bow drawn and arrow notched.

With deliberate maneuvering to guide the chase, the beastmen who came after him clumsily formed a bloated S-shaped curve.

That was precisely the shooting opportunity he needed.

The leader of the pack, the biggest beastman with the largest cleaver and the biggest pistol, rushed towards Bai E in a frenzy, his facial expressions wildly distorted by beast-like fangs abandoning restraint.

From afar, You and Dash tried to rush to help, the frontline warriors turned their heads trying to block their opponents with large knives, a comrade holding a Blast Shield leaped over trying to protect Bai E in front...

Everything seemed to freeze in a moment.

The third arrow!

Shoot!

The hurricane sweeps, the air currents surge.

The pale aura slowly diffused around the trail blazed by the arrow, nine beastmen missing arms and legs, with shattered chests and abdomens, now staggeringly fell to the ground.

The beastmen leader was directly hit in the abdomen, split in two, becoming a separate top and bottom.

"Plop~"

The upper body fell limply to the ground, yet still flew forward an inch due to inertia.

The upper half of the beastman leader, as if completely unaware of his predicament, crawled frantically on the ground with both hands, shouting "waaaaagh" and still wanting to come over and hack at Bai E.

Nine.

Bai E withdrew his pistol from his waist, silently contemplating.

[Activate "Lucky Shot".]

He rather liked the photosynthesis on the beastman loot panel.

Just wondering whether it would drop anything...

Bai E stepped on the head of the crawling but now unarmed beastman leader, casually unlocking the safety.

"Click~"

"Bang!"
