Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 356: Testing the Power

"Black Qilin, run, run forward." Xu Yi patted the Black Qilin; he wanted to see the edge of the jungle.

At a speed of 120 km/h, the Black Qilin swept past like a black whirlwind.

However, at such a high speed, the Black Qilin couldn’t maintain it for long, at most half an hour.

Lu Ke gripped his Thunder Strike Gun tightly, ready to shoot at any moment.

The feeling of speeding made Lu Ke feel his blood boil.

"The jungle, Xu Yi, it’s the jungle, we’ve really reached the Jungle Area." Seeing the endless green, Lu Ke shouted excitedly.

Xu Yi also saw that patch of greenery.

They had been running like wild for 15 kilometers, and there were still 5 kilometers to the jungle.

"Black Qilin, turn back." With that, Xu Yi tugged on the reins.

Because there was a pack of Fierce Beasts ahead, more than 20 of them. They had to leave before being noticed.

Lu Ke noticed too and quickly shut his mouth.

Their goal had been accomplished; they could head back now.

A distance of more than 20 kilometers was no longer a big deal for them.

It would take three to four hours on foot, but passing these 20 kilometers was not that easy.

Along the way, they had encountered many Fierce Beasts.

After running over ten kilometers, Xu Yi slowed down the Black Qilin.

Only 15 minutes had passed from start to finish.

The Black Qilin was great for escaping; its speed was much faster than ordinary Fierce Beasts.

Seeing a spot with a few animals, Xu Yi drove the Black Qilin to run over there.

"Try the gun," Xu Yi said to Lu Ke, feeling more at ease knowing the location of the Jungle Area.

"Okay." Lu Ke aimed the gun, locking on one of the Fierce Beasts.

"Zzz!"

With a sound of "Zzz," a blue light shot out, hitting the Fierce Beast Lu Ke had locked onto.

She was using the first level; the Fierce Beast hit by it jumped up, clearly electrified.

But in the next second, it charged toward Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

Clearly, the first level couldn’t cause any harm.

So, Lu Ke switched to the second level.

"Zzz!"

Another shot; Lu Ke hit another one.

The stricken one stopped, shivered a few times, then rejoined its companions.

Still ineffective, it only paused for less than 3 seconds, even less effective than Xu Yi’s Binding Skills.

Lu Ke switched directly to the third level. The second level, while somewhat effective, wasn’t significant enough.

The third level should have some effect, right?

Xu Yi was also looking forward to seeing the power of the third level, especially since it could only be used 20 times a day. If it still couldn’t effectively damage, that would be too disappointing.

At the moment of firing, Xu Yi felt an aura that made him somewhat apprehensive.

The blue light shot out was much stronger than before.

The moment it hit a Fierce Beast, there was an explosive sound, followed by a flash of light.

The hit Fierce Beast flew several meters back, then crashed to the ground.

"Good, powerful!" Xu Yi shouted happily, finally seeing the power of the Thunder Strike Gun.

Lu Ke then fired five more shots, knocking out the rest of the beasts.

Then, Xu Yi rode the Black Qilin back to the beaten beasts.

"This gun is great; if used against humans, it might blow them apart,"

"Loli Ke is so cool; her shooting posture is even more charming than my cousin’s!"

"Impressive, directly knocked these Fierce Beasts down, if not dead, they’re crippled. 600 points, worth it."

"Survival is getting harder and harder; such a Thunder Strike Gun might not even be redeemable with 10 sets of points. Moreover, they’re not dead; they’ve stood up again."

"Damn, they still can’t die from this, their life force is too strong!"

"Blood coming from eyes and noses; even if they’re not dead, they’ll be a lot weaker, right?"

Seeing the Fierce Beasts stand up again, Xu Yi rushed over, immediately jumped down, and swung his knife.

"Let’s see how many shots it takes to kill one; leave the rest to me." Xu Yi said, stepping on the head of one of the beasts, taking a short gun from his Star Chart Space to replace the knife in his hand, then plunging it into the beast’s eye socket, piercing its brain, ending its life.

Lu Ke also jumped off the Black Qilin and shot one right on the forehead, blasting it four or five meters away.

The Black Qilin leapt onto one of the Fierce Beasts and bit through its neck in one go.

Xu Yi had tested the Black Qilin’s biting power. It could crush bones but wasn’t so easy; it took effort.

Normally, such biting power shouldn’t penetrate the Fierce Beasts’ defense.

But in their biting, that abnormal defense disappears; even the Black Qilin can be bitten.

It could only be said that their defenses are particularly effective against humans and weapons, but fail against native creatures’ attacks.

Xu Yi had tried using these Fierce Beasts’ bones and teeth to make arrowheads, but the effect was poor, not as good as the military dagger.

So, exactly how to break the Fierce Beasts’ defenses was a headache and a helpless situation for Xu Yi.

However, Xu Yi thought the gun was still quite good as it dealt significant damage to the Fierce Beasts.

At least, their movements slowed a lot; Xu Yi could now knock them down without using skills, then stab the short gun into their eye sockets, pierce their brains, and end their lives.

Previously, Xu Yi needed to use skills to achieve such effects.

The last one was shot three times by Lu Ke before it stopped moving at all.

This proved they could be shot dead with the Thunder Strike Gun, but it required three shots. Perhaps even stronger animals would need several more hits to die.

With this result, Xu Yi returned with Lu Ke.

Once Xu Yi and Lu Ke returned, everyone gathered around.

After all, Xu Yi and Lu Ke had been away for over twenty minutes.

"First, I have good news for everyone – we’ve indeed reached the edge of the Jungle Area, about 25-30 kilometers from the Jungle Area." Xu Yi immediately shared the news about the Jungle Area with everyone.

Hearing Xu Yi’s response, everyone became happy.

After all, they had traveled for 14 days, and many had doubted whether there was a Jungle Area, thinking this planet was just a desert-like environment.

"And then about the Thunder Strike Gun you all are concerned about, whether it can harm the Fierce Beasts." With that, Xu Yi glanced around everyone.

"Only the third level can harm the Fierce Beasts; the first two levels have no effect. The third level can damage their brains, slowing their movements. For medium-sized ones, three shots are lethal. We haven’t encountered any larger ones, so we can’t be sure." Xu Yi said.

Hearing Xu Yi’s response, everyone took a deep breath.

A 600-point weapon could only damage the Fierce Beasts within 20 uses a day. To kill them, it would take three shots, and one can’t even kill seven in a day?

The Jungle Area, can we still go?
