CHAPTER 270: CHAPTER 230: OH NO! THE PLACE THE BOSS WENT TO EXPLODED!

"What kind of... never mind, no need to say, I’ve already seen it." Li Zheng originally wanted to ask the specifics, but that cloud of bees had already come quite close, and with their skills, they could already observe those wasps.

The wasps buzzing everywhere were each the size of a tomato, entirely made of metal. Unlike living wasps, they only had a tiny black hole on their stinger.

[Mechanical Killer Bees]

Countless metallic compound eyes emitted a cold gleam, devoid of any emotion.

Densely packed, they flew in mid-air, blotting out the sky, and even before the battle began, Wang Chao felt their scalps tingle and goosebumps rise on their backs.

Zhang Yue tightened the single knife in his hand, his face showing despair, "So many... how can we fight?"

Liu Li took out her revolver, aimed, then helplessly lowered it, shaking her head slightly, "These bees are strange, they seem to calculate the trajectory I’m aiming at and avoid it in advance!"

While aiming earlier, she saw clearly that the mechanical killer bees acted as if they shared a single consciousness, avoiding simultaneously whenever she aimed at them.

Even if they collided with their companions, they would dodge Liu Li’s aim.

In this case, unless one’s weapon was an automatic rifle, it wasn’t very effective.

"Don’t panic, I have a big gun here that should be able to take out some of the killer bees," Wang Chao took out a large metal canister from his residence, looking grim.

[Flamethrower

Tier: Silver

Type: Disposable Props

Description: Consumes large amounts of energy to transform into high-temperature flames, melting gold and cutting iron.

Non-rechargeable.]

This was the most powerful weapon Wang Chao had at hand and it was a one-time use item, once used it’d be gone.

But his grim expression wasn’t because of reluctance, but rather because he was annoyed at his own incompetence.

Even though Big Boss Li Zheng had agreed to help them clear the level, even leaving a pet to defend and protect them.

But can he really accept it with peace of mind?

The last wave of Desert Poison Scorpions had already been dealt with, but does that mean the second wave must rely on the protection of Big Boss’s pet?

Even though the four of them had already received so much care from the Big Boss, did they still need help for a second wave of monster attacks?

If the four of them couldn’t handle even this second wave of small monsters, what kind of monsters was Big Boss facing in a boss battle all on his own?

The most dangerous tasks had already been handled by Big Boss, and yet they couldn’t even deal with small monsters like these?

Even though he did not want to admit it, Wang Chao knew the second wave of mechanized killer bees would require Sakura to clear.

But before that, he must try his best!

Isn’t it just a Silver Level prop?

Use it if you have to!

Gritting his teeth, Wang Chao placed the flamethrower on his shoulder, aiming at the swarm of mechanical killer bees already within a hundred meters, ready to fire at any moment.

"Just a bit closer, a bit closer and I might be able to kill more." Wang Chao pressed a spot on the metal canister, ejecting a targeting prop from the side, locking onto the densest area of the bees, muttering softly.

"Almost there, almost there, a little closer..."

Seeing the mechanical killer bee swarm getting within fifty meters, Wang Chao was in a trance, his hands began to sweat.

He didn’t know what he was nervous about.

Clearly, hovering above was Big Boss’s pet, but facing the overwhelming flood of mechanical killer bees, he couldn’t help feeling scared.

When the mechanical killer bees got within twenty meters, just as Wang Chao was about to fire, suddenly he hesitated.

The world before him suddenly turned pink, as if a jelly-like filter had been applied.

"Is this... the pink balloon always hanging on Big Boss’s pet?"

As Sakura’s figure appeared on the other side of the "filter," Wang Chao confirmed that this unexpected protective layer was indeed the balloon always hanging on Sakura’s leg.

"Poli!"

Pink Poli tried his best to expand his body, turning into a giant bowl, covering Wang Chao and the others’ heads, with a smiling face in the middle cheering Sakura on.

"Awoo~" Sakura wagged her thick tail, suddenly flapping her wings, charging into the hive of mechanical killer bees.

Around her seemed to be an invisible, colorless blade that sliced through the bees, causing them to explode into a series of fireworks and sparks.

Crackle, pop.

The air above seemed like a dazzling fireworks display, and all Sakura did was chase after those fireworks, weaving through the swarm of killer bees at will.

Wherever she flew, there the fireworks erupted.

"So strong!" Wang Chao and his group stared blankly, clueless about the tier of the mechanical killer bees.

But Sakura merely flitted back and forth among them, seemingly without any offensive moves, causing the bees to burst into flames.

They couldn’t comprehend this scene for a moment.

What kind of power disparity could produce such a scene?

Wang Chao even had a thought: Could these killer bees be weaker than expected?

Maybe, even without the protection of Big Boss’s pet, the four of them could manage?

Of course, the mechanical killer bees wouldn’t just be slaughtered without fighting back, as they tried hard to retaliate.

Numerous killer bees raised their rounded metallic abdomens high, the holes at their tips aimed at Sakura and Poli’s bubble below, firing needles.

Zip zip zip zip~

The needles fired rapidly, creating a rain of needles in the sky.

Nonetheless, Sakura didn’t mind this level of attack. Seventy percent of those needles were shredded before they could even reach her.

The rest either missed her or were deflected by her thick tail.

Some even bypassed Sakura, targeting the protective film created by Poli.

Thud thud~

Two needles pierced through Poli’s body, buried into the yellow sand below.

"Poli?" Poli was slightly confused, not understanding how he was pierced again.

But it didn’t matter. Such attacks barely hurt him, only felt a little discomforting at most.

Zip zip...

The mechanical killer bees were getting fewer and fewer, but the rate of needle fire increased, leaving Poli helpless enough to take a deep breath.

The next second, a metallic sheen appeared on Poli’s body surface, as his jelly-like soft body seemed to transform into solid steel crystal, exuding a strong texture.

It seemed even the density changed, making it nearly impossible for the needles to penetrate his body, all getting deflected instead.

Wang Chao looked at the killer bees shooting needles like a machine gun and broke into a cold sweat: "Is it that terrifying?"

Just now he was really foolish, thinking that the few of them could handle these killer bees.

Now thinking about it...

Ha.

It was all an illusion.

If the four of them resisted this wave of attacks, they’d probably just get themselves shredded by the needle barrage in a single encounter.

With Sakura’s continued assaults, the number of mechanical killer bees dwindled, and the needle shots became sporadic and weak.

"Is it over?!" Wang Chao found it hard to believe yet it felt natural.

How could a pet trained by Big Boss be lacking?

Just then, from afar, a thunderous noise suddenly erupted.

Like thunder at the edge of the sky, with flames reaching high into the heavens.

Wang Chao looked in that direction, suddenly alarmed, "Oh no, the place where Big Boss went!"
