You have successfully reached the Glory Canyon and received quest rewards: Bingliang Pills x1, Boots of Swiftness x1.
Upon entering the canyon, Bai Ye received the quest completion notification.
Bingliang Pills (Pill) (Green): Instantly restores 50% Stamina.
Boots of Swiftness (Equipment) (Green): A pair of good-looking military boots. Effect: Gale Wind (When out of combat, your Speed increases by 50 points, and your Movement Speed increases by an additional 30%. The effect becomes invalid when entering combat.)
Bai Ye grinned. The Bingliang Pills were not bad, they could replenish stamina.
As for the Boots of Swiftness...
It wasn't that they were useless, but since the effect didn't work in combat, they could only be used for traveling.
However, since he had the Steel Slime, even a grasshopper's leg was still meat. He swallowed it directly.
Meanwhile...
"You have received a new hidden quest."
"Stop the Ancient Mechanical Giant from activating. Quest Reward: Fragment of the Dawn Heart x1, First Level Entry Pass to the Hero's Tomb x1."
The moment this quest was completed, a new hidden quest appeared.
However...
Bai Ye looked around.
This Glory Canyon had a feel of a secluded paradise. Peculiar plants were everywhere, bird songs constantly echoed, and some stones floated mysteriously in the air, like steps.
But where was the Ancient Giant?
Suddenly, as Bai Ye was thinking, the ground beneath him began to tremble.
Bai Ye swayed and then knelt down to steady himself.
"An earthquake?"
The sound of rumbling came from afar.
Bai Ye quickly looked up and then saw a pillar of green light rising in the distance, its brilliance spreading out.
"Looks like I know where the Ancient Giant is?"
Bai Ye grinned and ran forward rapidly.
However, after running only a hundred meters, Bai Ye suddenly felt something was wrong.
A sense of impending danger!
Bai Ye quickly leaped to the side, and the moment he did, gunfire suddenly erupted. A burst of bullets struck the spot where Bai Ye had been standing, shattering the ground.
Bai Ye looked towards a large rock formation to the side. Standing there was a young blond man wearing a top hat, a medieval puffy-sleeved shirt, and a suit. He held two strangely shaped handguns.
Bai Ye looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
The blond man smiled and nudged the brim of his hat with a gun, saying, "My twin guns will answer that."
Bai Ye tilted his head and looked at him, saying, "Alright, let your twin guns provide the answer!"
Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand, and the Steel Slime split into mud masses in Bai Ye's palm, quickly solidifying into twin pulse guns.
The moment the twin guns were in his hands, Bai Ye immediately pulled the trigger towards the top of the rock.
Bang, bang, bang...
Gunshots rang out, and the top of the rock was struck by pulse beams, immediately exploding.
The blond man leaped directly from the rock, inverted his body in mid-air, and then fired at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly dodged to the side, and another burst of bullets hit the ground, shattering it again.
Bai Ye showed a hint of surprise.
One was surprise at the man's marksmanship; could he aim so accurately while firing in such a posture?
The other was due to the man's twin guns. The rate of fire of those twin guns was astonishingly fast. They were like ordinary firearms, yet also like technological weapons. They fired bullets, but each bullet was enveloped in light.
Meanwhile...
The blond man landed without even staggering. He stomped on the ground, used the force to leap to the side, and again pulled the trigger at Bai Ye.
Clang, clang, clang...
A metallic clanging sound emanated from Bai Ye's body. The opponent's bullets continuously hit Bai Ye, and then circles and circles of vortexes appeared on his body.
However, because they were formed from the Steel Slime, the vortexes created by the bullets quickly healed.
Things formed from the Steel Slime would not be destroyed by battle damage.
But...
This did not mean Bai Ye would not get hurt!
At this moment, Bai Ye could feel his shoulder bleeding, a sharp pain spreading through him, contorting his expression.
The opponent's bullets...
Had a defense-ignoring penetration effect!
The blond man smiled and raised his guns, saying, "Show, ti!"
So...
Since the teleportation distance was a fixed three meters, he could predict it in advance...
Bang, bang!
Bai Ye fired again, hitting the ground twice.
Bai Ye was speechless. Predict what ghost!
Even if he knew the distance of the opponent's movement, he had no idea of the direction, so he could only guess!
