Monsters in War were separated into Normal, Elite, Commander, Quasi-Boss, and Boss—five grades. Monsters in different grades differed significantly in terms of strength.

For a Normal-Grade monster, in a one-on-one situation, most same-level players would be able to get rid of them without taking any damage. When facing Elite-Grade monsters, a player with only average equipment and combat awareness might not be able to overcome it. Higher-grade monsters like Commander-Grade monsters required small parties of over ten players with a strong combination of professions and excellent teamwork to be able to deal with them. As for the Bosses, since the start of the server, the number of boss kills within the region of Silvermoon City could be counted on one finger. Even the lowest-level Boss monster, the Level-35 Crimson Moon Scorpion King in the Gobi Desert, had not been defeated more than a few times.

Even in the few instances when it had been defeated, those had been organized by large companies, and the boss had only been defeated by the tactic of cramming more than 100 players into such raids.

Monsters in War were simply far stronger than those in normal games. As such, when a Level-40 Elite-Grade Mutant Dog appeared so close to him, Feng Luo could not help but get a small headache. However, he reacted very quickly and immediately turned the muzzle and aimed the M110 at the Elite Dog.

Truth be told, if the distance between the two was over 300 meters, he could be 90 percent certain that he could kill it without incurring any losses. However, the distance between them was currently only a couple hundred meters. For a monster that was famous for its speed, it would be able to get to him in ten seconds.

Gunners were like Manipulators; they were both professions with low HP, and they were most afraid of high-speed and high-attack monsters getting close to them!

"Roar!"

After the Level-40 Elite-Grade Mutant Dog roared at Feng Luo, it locked its hate-filled, bloody gaze on him. Its four limbs pushed against the ground as it exploded into a run across the steep, bumpy mine, rushing toward Feng Luo's position. Its velocity was comparable to an arrow being shot through the air.


So fast! Thought Feng Luo.

Shock flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed his mind. The muzzle of the M110 immediately began to move, following the movements of the Mutant Dog as Feng Luo's brain calculated a bit before pressing the trigger.

Pang!

The bare bullet that shot out of the muzzle hit the Elite Mutant Dog right in the nose, and a row of yellow numbers appeared, indicating that this shot inflicted weak-point damage.

−2314!

Damage on monsters and humans was determined differently; monsters did not wear any equipment, so as long as the attack hit an area that was not covered in fur or scales, or if the area that was hit had already received a great amount of damage, then the damage inflicted would be considered weak-point damage.

As for the factors determining lethal damage, they still required the condition of completely breaking or bypassing defense. Moreover, due to the differences in monster types, the vital areas were different, so normally, it was still quite difficult to deal lethal damage.

Two seconds later, Feng Luo fired a second shot, which only hit the front limb of the Mutant Dog.

Pang!

−450!

The damage dealt was simple, white-colored normal damage; moreover, due to Feng Luo's talent, the damage was only 75 percent.

In the midst of the Mutant Dog's high-speed sprinting, it was far too difficult to accurately hit its head. No matter how good one's skill was with the gun, there was absolutely no way to do it. However, this shot was not completely in vain because. When it was hit in its front leg, the Mutant Dog trembled, and its speed reduced a little. This gave Feng Luo time to prepare for a third shot.

In War, every attack that hit the target would create certain side effects. For example, attacks could destroy, cause injuries, produce bleeding, etc. It was similar to reality. Even broken limbs, crippled movement, and other special effects would sometimes occur. However, ultimate effects like "headshot" or "decapitation" would only appear when the enemy's HP had been completely depleted!

Apart from that, the game had a "Gory Visual Effects" option. If one were to disable the gory visual effects, the gory, restricted scenes would not be seen. This was mainly to protect some of the female players, as well as underage players.

Pang!

−1983!

Feng Luo's third shot hit the head of the Elite-Grade Mutant Dog, and this inflicted almost 2,000 points of weak-point damage. But by this time, the Elite Mutant Dog was already in a position where it was only around 30 meters in front of him. At this distance, it would have been unwise to continue to use a sniper rifle that was more than a meter long.

Feng Luo threw the M110 to the ground and extended his hands into his spacial backpack, grabbing a black, metallic pistol emanating a murderous aura. It was the Desert Eagle!

At a distance of around 15 meters, the Elite Mutant Dog opened a mouth filled with white canine teeth. Green saliva flew into the air as it roared, and a stench originating from its mouth was spewed in Feng Luo's direction.

Although the distance had been closed, Feng Luo did not seem to panic much. Both of his hands firmly gripped the Desert Eagle. He aimed the pistol with huge recoil at the Mutant Dog before firing the first shot.

Pang!

−646!

The powerful AE bullet from the Desert Eagle accurately hit the stomach area of the Mutant Dog. Due to the defense provided by its fur, the damage was limited, but it still turned the left side of its relatively soft abdomen into a mess of flesh and blood. It was only after firing the first shot did Feng Luo leaped forward, rolling directly downhill from the boulder he was hidden behind, avoiding the first tackle of the Elite Mutant Dog.

"Awooo!"

Missing its first attack, the Elite Mutant Dog landed on the boulder and immediately let out a howl. It turned around and attempted to tackle Feng Luo again.

Pang! Pang!

Feng Luo's body rushed to the side to avoid the landing point of the Elite Mutant Dog. At the same time, the Desert Eagle in his hands did not rest. He fired two consecutive shots. Both hit the stomach of the Elite Mutant Dog rushing toward him from the boulder.

"Roar!"

With its second attack also failing, the Elite Mutant Dog's anger was clear. In the next moment, it leaped and attacked Feng Luo again, but Feng Luo's movements were more agile than it had imagined. With the "10 percent increase in movement speed" bonus of the Desert Eagle, Feng Luo actually managed to dodge the third attack of the Elite Mutant Dog.

However, something unexpected happened!

Although Feng Luo had evaded the Elite Mutant Dog's third attack, the creature's body hit the wall of rock behind Feng Luo after it missed.

Its claws left ten deep scratch marks in the boulder, and as stone chips flew into the air, the Elite Mutant Dog's momentum ceased. Immediately, all four of its limbs pushed against the boulder as it leveraged its body weight against the wall and shot back at Feng Luo—who had not yet turned around for its fourth attack.

This unforeseen event was enough to make anyone panic, and Feng Luo took a direct hit from one of its paws in the back. The sudden force from behind threw Feng Luo several meters away from this violent attack. He rolled across the ground two times and almost lost his grip on the Desert Eagle.

−1530!

The number that flashed overtop of Feng Luo's head was a row of yellow numbers. He was wearing a decent Level-30 Fine combat uniform, but the slash from the sharp claws of the Mutant Dog shredded it into rags.

Feng Luo's total HP amounted to no more than 3,200, and around half of it had already been taken away by a single scratch from the Mutant Dog. What frightening attack strength!

"Awooo!"

The Mutant Dog delivered a hit. A fierce look came from its crimson eyes, and by gaining momentum, it crouched on all four of its limbs, then leaped into the air. Once again, it rushed at Feng Luo. If he was hit one more time, given his current condition, he might die.

It was a moment of crisis, but Feng Luo's mind remained calm. He did not get up hastily, he just lay on the ground, raised his head, held up the Rare-grade Desert Eagle in his hand, and fired a shot.

Pang!

−3966!

After the gunshot rang out, a damage indicator nearing 4,000 appeared overtop of the head of the Elite-Grade Mutant Dog. It was a bright red number, which meant that this shot had struck a vital spot and inflicted "lethal" damage.

The Desert Eagle in Feng Luo's hands had fired its fourth bullet from the cartridge. It had been a perfect shot to the beast's left side that had previously been hit by the first shot, allowing the powerful and lethal AE bullet to tear through its body and directly into its heart, destroying it completely!

The murderous and bloodthirsty aura vanished from its gaze in an instant. The body of the Elite-Grade Mutant Dog that had lost its life was sent into the air by the impact dealt by the Desert Eagle, then fell to the ground. As it landed, dust flew into the air.

The Elite-Grade Mutant Dog certainly had high attacks, but its HP was only a little over 10,000, and even if one included recovery during battle, its HP would not exceed 11,000. Feng Luo had been calculating the total damage amount. By relying on the cumulative damage from his earlier shots, as long as he could hit a vital area with his last shot, he had known it would be enough to win the battle, which was why he had not dared to dodge. Of course, this also required confidence in his own marksmanship.

"That sure was close!" he said. "Elite-Grade monsters aren't easy to deal with."

Feng Luo panted as he got up from the ground, his gaze still on the corpse of the Elite Mutant Dog several meters away.

The items dropped from a Level-40 Elite-Grade Mutant Dog were certainly better than the previous Normal monster. Beside the corpse, several gray crystals that were worth ten credits apiece appeared on the ground. There was also a light bronze ore that was about the size of a fist.

"Copper Ore Gem!"

Feng Luo recognized this type of ore, it was a type of rare material used to manufacture combat armor and shields. With such a large piece, selling it at the exchange would net him at least 2,000 credits or more.

"Looks like my luck is pretty good!"

Feng Luo patted a pack of blood tonic on his body and got up from the ground. He prepared to walk over to pick up the dropped items. However, at that moment, the sound of a gunshot rang from afar.

Pang!

Feng Luo's chest felt as if it had been crushed by a rock. His HP fell by a large amount, and there was less than one-third of it left.

A system message flashed by, revealing the reason.
