Of course, the factors controlling this situation were more coincidental than anything else, but the attacks from this side immediately surged forth. However, that shadow seemed to display an incredibly agile movement, evading all possibilities.
The positioning of the objects was much faster than anticipated, but the opponent's speed was so great that the initial positioning only reflected recent influences. Soon after, the bullets fired merely struck empty air behind them; the attack missed, and the consequences were quite severe.
The damage caused by grenades was significant, and with a loud bang, the ground shook. One couldn't help but wonder if this would attract more hunters; perhaps in their eyes, these defensive creatures appeared to be excellent culinary material, with a taste that must be exquisite. Throughout this process, conventional weapons failed to suppress that guy's speed. The Gauss Sniper Rifle had a high bullet velocity, yet it still barely grazed the opponent as they dodged. Such evasion speed was truly astonishing; however, it was crucial to provide a reasonable range and prepare Ross for the final strike.
While it sounded simple in theory, executing it required calculating all surrounding environmental factors. Responding to high-speed attacks necessitated a team configuration that conventional firepower simply couldn't handle. Although the enemy's dodging speed was indeed fast, speed didn't necessarily equate to rapid movement. Within a certain range, that shadow's dodging speed reached an ultimate level—something no human could ever achieve.
However, when it came to large-area destructive weapons, it lacked immediate recovery capabilities. On one hand, no one had anticipated such a degree of challenge; on the other hand, confronting explosive artillery like grenades would create a powerful impact effect. Even at high speeds, there was no way to evade that inferno of flames.
Many had noticed this weakness, but primarily Team 116's current firepower configuration lacked the strength of artillery. After all, such weapons were exceedingly cumbersome. If judged solely on single-round lethality, a Sniper Rifle could perform quite well on the battlefield.
Currently, no one possessed high-power or wide-range weaponry. While acquiring such weapons was indeed possible, doing so would slow their pace significantly. Instead of that, it would be better to exchange for more practical weapons like Sniper Rifles. Moreover, everyone in the team needed to possess precise shooting skills; while they didn't have to reach sniper-level proficiency, ideally anyone could become the person who determined the mission's fate.
Individual strength wasn't absolute; only when everyone in a group became strong could that team truly become formidable. Consequently, their morale began to wane—not because they felt they couldn't defeat their opponent; rather, if their enemy's strength far surpassed theirs and they lost or died, it wouldn't feel shameful.
However, if their strength reached a certain level where even one person could crush their opponent effortlessly while facing an adversary with an outstanding advantage—this so-called superlative advantage could generate a force capable of easily overwhelming them.
Other abilities in different areas weren't particularly special; they merely relied on this singular point to survive and reign in nature. Thus, losing to such a swift opponent wasn't necessarily shameful.
Freya glanced nervously at her surroundings and immediately shouted, "Hand me the Sniper Rifle! I can clearly see its trajectory, but sometimes it dodges too quickly for me to hit." After she spoke, everyone nodded in understanding and quickly cleared a path.
Freyr should have known that this time it was up to him to handle their opponent. His ability was speed—just like his adversary—and he still had his Gene Chain ability intact.
The sealed experience was pushed to the third stage, and the ability of brain recognition was suddenly unlocked. This allowed him to generate reflexes and neural circuits that were extraordinary in various situations, which was the technique Freyr could currently utilize.
Under normal circumstances, he might not need to take too many risks or rely on his conventional powers, as his companions could handle the battles for him. However, that was no longer the case; the speed of the shadow's movement was unexpectedly swift, and each experience they encountered was quite unique. It felt as if no matter how well-prepared they were, every mission they undertook would turn into a life-and-death disaster.
He couldn't tell if it was because their team was being deliberately targeted or if their luck was simply abysmal.
The speed of Sniper Rifle might not keep up with that monster's pace. He felt that the effectiveness of Sniper Rifle was too slow to react, so he ultimately shook his head and switched to his Dual Daggers. In close combat, that was indeed the safest weapon.
Bullets would only produce tremendous power under the premise of absolute control over the battlefield. However, the effectiveness of Cold Weapon in altering the course of battle had already changed. It wasn't that they no longer needed to engage in combat with Cold Weapon; rather, the pace of development had accelerated so much that some battles simply couldn't afford to involve too many personnel. On one hand, this could lead to significant losses, which humanity could not bear at this point.
His body surged forward as Gene Chain elevated to the corresponding height, followed by Time Binding Ability.
In fact, this ability was quite powerful, and he quickly caught sight of the true form of that shadow. Time Bond not only allowed him to control his own speed but also further extend or slow down the speed of his opponent. At this moment, the true appearance of this creature was laid bare before him.
It was a nearly carnivorous Queen Bee, with short Wings, a squat body, and terrifying tentacles. Its scythe-like massive teeth and greenish body were complemented by its extremely bizarre purple compound eyes.
This Queen Bee must have dominated this area with its deadly scythe and speed. No wonder he had seen so many skeletons along the way; many had their skulls sliced open by sharp blades. Those cuts were definitely not made by ordinary weapons; their strength surpassed that of knives by a considerable margin.
