Chapter 33: Chapter 32: Optimization, Hawk Training, Alpha Wolf_2

When first meeting the Liu Family siblings, the revolver in my hand was still a Level 4 magazine pistol, with only fifty backup rounds, and a base damage of just 15 points.

At most, I could bully a fatigued, near-death Rock-Horned Horse.

Now, the revolver in my hand has been upgraded to a Level 7 automatic pistol, boasting a formidable base damage of thirty points and 200 backup rounds!

In automatic mode, the firing rate is even twenty rounds per second!

Not to mention a high-attack, low-defense Level 9 Desolate Wolf, even a Level 9 Rock-Horned Horse in peak condition could be dealt with in a second by Lin Feng in automatic mode.

Regarding distance, targets should not exceed four hundred meters.

Although the effective range of the Level 7 automatic pistol is eight hundred meters, Lin Feng can mostly lock onto targets three to four hundred meters away at most.

After being enhanced to the mid-stage, Lin Feng’s vision was enhanced to a fourfold scope, able to clearly see football-sized objects three to four hundred meters away, with unfailing accuracy within two hundred meters.

Now, having advanced to a Level 7 late-stage Enhanced Person, his physical attributes have been comprehensively improved once again, allowing him to easily focus on and lock onto balloons turned into black dots six to seven hundred meters away.

But at this distance, hitting a moving target is by no means easy.

The longer the aiming distance, the more factors influencing the bullet hit rate.

For example, bullet speed and trajectory, wind speed along the path, target speed, and movement direction prediction, among others.

This is also why in modern long-range sniping, for a sniper to become a sharpshooter, besides extensive training and accumulating experience, various auxiliary tools are needed.

Such as basic high-magnification scopes, wind gauges, and an observer serving as a second sniper.

Along the way, Lin Feng has practically tested that with his late-stage Enhanced Person physique, his visual senses are enhanced to the level of a sixfold scope.

He can identify small targets within eight hundred meters.

Yet, to aim with a revolver, he can only accurately lock on within four hundred meters, beyond which the hit rate drops sharply, and hitting the target depends on luck.

Within this distance, a Desert Wolf can run for half a minute before escaping his farthest hit range.

Thirty seconds is enough for Lin Feng to pour hundreds of rounds into the escaping wolf pack, turning them into sieves.

This is also Lin Feng’s source of confidence.

After the wolf hunting operation, he plans to spend a lot of money at Dawn Village to have a high-magnification scope crafted, to be assembled and integrated into his pistol.

Although the Hunting Wilderness Guild sells firearms, Lin Feng couldn’t find other accessories, such as scopes.

Moreover, he is not yet eligible to purchase them.

At this moment, facing Liu Qian’s question, Chen Shanshan and Ding Yi are startled, unsure of how Lin Feng will explain.

After recalling the upgrade process of his revolver, Lin Feng nods slightly and takes the initiative to speak:

“Evolvers awaken superpowers. Most late-stage Deserters are aware of this, and I am a rare early awakener who awakened a power that can optimize weapons and equipment before Tier One Evolution.”

“I consume internal energy to optimize heavily worn weapons, restoring them to a perfect state.”

“However, using this power is a considerable drain. For instance, now that I am a late-stage Enhanced Person, I need to consume late-stage enhanced meat to recover.”

“This gun is the result of my full effort.”

“With the help of the optimization superpower, the bullets in the revolver drum can be infinitely regenerated in a short time by consuming my internal energy.”

“So, it superficially has only six bullets, but in reality, it is equivalent to a revolver with infinite bullets, and its power is tremendous, capable of killing a Desert Wolf with two shots.”

“However, when using my superpower, I need to concentrate fully, and it’s hard to stay vigilant; someone needs to provide cover…”

Liu Qian listens intently, her expression turning to a sudden realization and says, slightly excited:

“Sorry, Brother Feng, I shouldn’t have asked you these questions…”

“I was just worried that in the battle against the Desert Wolves, we might not be adequately assured of victory.”

“But now Brother Feng is actually a rare superpower user with such strong support capabilities, this wolf hunt, we will certainly…”

Liu Qian had not finished speaking when the tricycle suddenly braked sharply.

Everyone braced themselves, then immediately looked out through the observation window.

In the distance, at a Deserted Village Squad’s camp, the scene was a mess, with tattered hemp cloth scattered and eight or nine faceless Deserters’ corpses.

The chest and internal organs were basically emptied, the muscle fat on both thighs was also torn apart, leaving essentially just a skeleton and a ground full of blood and soil.

At this moment, a group of impatient Scavenger Vultures has already landed in the camp, feasting on the remains.

Their hooked beaks could tear open and extract the meat that the wolf pack didn’t have time to eat, satiating themselves.

“Damn, we’re late!”

Li Hu got off the vehicle, looked around, not even seeing a shadow of a wolf, and having prepared for battle, couldn’t help but curse angrily.

Lin Feng squinted his eyes slightly, quickly finding evidence:

“The blood on the ground is still fresh. To the left front, there are blood traces and claw prints, let’s chase after them!”

Li Hu stepped forward to take a look, dispersed the Scavenger Vulture group, and indeed saw the traces of the wolf pack just leaving. Lifting a one-and-a-half-meter long broadsword, he cursed vehemently:

“Let’s go, continue chasing! Use the falconry tactic!”

“The wolf pack has just finished a feast. As long as we bite and don’t let them go, forcing them to keep running, they’ll fall into dehydration.”

“Either exhaust themselves or have a showdown with us!”

Digesting food also takes effort and internal fresh water, which is why it is not recommended to exercise within half an hour after a meal.

Li Hu intends to force the wolf pack to confront them willingly.

Everyone sets off again, to conserve energy, this time both sides take turns riding the vehicle.

Lin Feng’s party sees Liu Mingfei backing down, with Ding Yi taking over the driver’s seat, continuing forward along the trail of blood.

Since they can take turns, along with timely food and water replenishment, everyone’s advance consumption is minimal, switching every hour.

Maintaining a uniform speed of ten kilometers per hour, racing across the wilderness, getting off when encountering slopes, pushing the vehicle forward.

Along the trail left by the wolf pack, they advance step by step, pressing so hard the wolves can never stop to rest.

Eventually, with everyone clinging tightly, the team enters a valley, ahead is a slope over a hundred meters high, surrounded on three sides by mountains, with only a flat retreat route at the back.

This is a dead-end trap.

Li Hu and others then get off the vehicle to observe the terrain.

On the ground, the wolf pack’s claw prints diverge into four or five different directions.

“They already know someone is tailing and chasing them.”

Lin Feng looks around the terrain, feeling a sense of unease:

“With this slope, all of us have to get off and push, if the wolf pack suddenly attacks, we’ll be flanked.”

“I suggest we head out first and take a detour to have a look.”

Li Hu frowned slightly; he actually wanted to keep chasing along the direction of the largest claw prints.

The wolf pack was already within reach, there’s no reason to waste time taking a detour, giving up the hard-won shortened distance.

But Lin Feng is right, if this is a trap set intentionally by the wolf pack, ambushing everyone while pushing the vehicle…

Just like last time, trying to catch them off guard.

Then the offense and defense would swap!

As Li Hu was troubled, not far on the slope, a figure of a Giant Wolf suddenly emerged.

That Giant Wolf, compared to the nearby rocks, was a full four meters big, comparable to a tricycle, similar in size to the Level 9 Rock-Horned Horse Lin Feng’s group hunted last time.

The massive wolf head stained with blood bore a blood-filled mouth armed with fine steel fangs.

The wolf eyes, as big as bells, were full of blood color.

With its bared teeth, displaying a fierce demeanor.

As it howled to the sky, responding howls echoed from the surrounding valley slopes.

Li Hu locked eyes with it, his expression instantly turning ferocious, eyes filled with killing intent, raising the sharp broadsword in his hand!

This very creature, the leader of the Desert Wolf Pack, killed his team members and ruined his evolution path!

As the surrounding wolf howls intensified, a Wolf Fang Arrow flew rapidly with a space-breaking momentum,

shooting straight at the wolf at the summit!

The fight was about to begin!
