My Items Can Upgrade Chapter 42: The Power of a Single Shot

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Power of a Single Shot

"Don’t tarnish the word hero!!"

Yang Yuan’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and without any hesitation, he used the cannon shell he had been reluctant to expend.

The eight people on the opposite side sensed his killing intent, and their faces changed dramatically.

"Full defense!!"

A huge transparent shield appeared out of thin air.

At the sa mont, a fat cannon shell over a ter thick shot out violently.

Before it even exploded, the shell directly pierced through the protective shield of the eight, shattering one of them, and in the next mont, a massive explosion occurred.

"Boom!!!"

The remaining seven were instantly blown to ashes, while a terrifying shockwave swept out.

Yang Yuan hurriedly tackled Jiang Yiyi and Zhao Jiayan to the ground, but to his surprise, before landing, Jiang Yiyi vanished from his embrace into thin air, and he only managed to tackle Zhao Jiayan.

"Rumble—"

The terrifying shockwave from the explosion swept in all directions, and stones flying hit his back, making Yang Yuan feel as if he’d been struck by bullets.

Luckily, his physical body was incredibly strong, even stronger than the low-budget version of the Power Armor’s defense, otherwise, this could have been problematic.

It seems that next ti he should fire from a further distance.

Finally, the explosive shockwave subsided.

Yang Yuan glanced at Jiang Yiyi who reappeared, then quickly got up and looked into the distance.

Where the shell had hit, there was now a crater seven or eight ters deep, and the surrounding natural stone pillars and small stone mountains were all flattened.

As for the eight people from before, not even fragnts of them could be found.

Instead, the corpse of the person who had ambushed them earlier was untouched, protected by a small flag, but it also protected the spoils of battle.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan’s anger finally dissipated.

At this mont, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi also got up, both looking stunned at the scene.

But just then, the small flag on the edge of the crater began to glow again, and eight more figures appeared out of thin air.

This ti, a woman and seven n appeared, all stunned by the sight before them.

Seeing the abnormally large Firepower Flying Disc in the distance, they instinctively raised their hands.

"Did we co at the wrong ti?"

"I told you not to be greedy, don’t be greedy for small gains..."

"Damn you, Tan Zhiming, you jinx, sothing went wrong again, didn’t it!"

"What the hell does this have to do with ?! I just ca to watch the fun, I didn’t intend to help..."

"You’re the one with the jinxing mouth, ever since teaming up with you, nothing good has happened..."

"What the hell is that thing? Why does it look so much like a Firepower Flying Disc?!"

"That is a Firepower Flying Disc!!"

The eight felt a chill down their spines, and from the huge crater beside them, they already guessed what had happened to those who had signaled for help.

This ti, Yang Yuan wasn’t in such a hurry.

With cold eyes, he stared at the eight as he reloaded his pistol, asking with a frosty expression, "What is the Demon Elimination Squad? Why did you attack us?"

"Attack you?"

"Wait, we just sensed a distress signal and deliberately waited for half a minute before coming over, we’re just here to watch the fun, we’re not with those people before, the Demon Elimination Squad isn’t official, we have nothing to do with those guys!"

"That’s right, friend, you must stay calm!"

The eight hurriedly distanced themselves from any connection.

The only woman in the group of eight, around thirty, suddenly noticed the corpse protected by the small flag and her eyes flashed.

She quickly looked at Yang Yuan and the others, her gaze landing on Zhao Jiayan, and suddenly understood sothing, saying, "I get it now, that corpse should be Pioneer Number Five. That guy probably took a liking to the woman and planned to do sothing bad. Kill the man, take the woman, he has a history of this."

The other seven looked stunned, then slightly frowned.

Zhao Jiayan’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan had already reloaded his pistol, pointing it at the eight.

One of them twitched at the corners of his mouth, saying, "We’ve said we’re not with those people before, and besides, that pistol won’t work on us..."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise, and a giant rock next to him was shattered.

"!!!"

The eight shared a simultaneous shudder.

Is that really a pistol?!

"... Friends, we’re just here to watch the fun, get it? We just wanted to see those people’s embarrassing situation, otherwise, we wouldn’t have deliberately delayed coming over by half a minute."

One slightly chubby man explained with a mix of anger and nervousness, while secretly preparing for sothing.

Yang Yuan said coldly, "First, explain what the Demon Elimination Squad is."

The eight people across from him couldn’t help but exchange glances.

"That guy actually doesn’t know about the Demon Elimination Squad?"

"I thought he was with the military; otherwise, how could he have such terrifying weapons..."

"Scared ; I thought I had offended the military and would be sabotaged..."

The eight quickly exchanged a few words.

Soon, a woman who seed to be the leader explained, "The Demon Elimination Squad is a team of Superpower Users ford by the Earth Alliance to annihilate Drought Fiends. Anyone who has broken through at least one limit can join."

"Annihilate Drought Fiends?"

Yang Yuan asked, "Just you guys?"

"It seems we’ve been underestimated."

A slightly chubby man couldn’t resist a cold chuckle, but after glancing at the massive Firepower Flying Disc in the sky, he held back.

"Alright, you’re right; we can’t kill a Drought Fiend, but we can clear out the smaller infected Drought Fiends."

The only woman among them explained, "By your looks, you probably don’t know, but Drought Fiends are creatures with reversed yin and yang that can assimilate female life forms, turning yin attributes into yang attributes. Whether it’s humans, alien beasts, or ferocious birds, anything can be reversed. Those small Drought Fiends are reversed ones; like real Drought Fiends, they emit intense invisible light and heat. They’re still very weak and can be killed."

Yang Yuan’s eyebrows twitched, and he realized: "Thank you for your answer, then..."

"Wait, the Demon Elimination Squad isn’t an official identity, and we won’t report you, so you don’t need to silence us. We’re just part of the Demon Elimination Squad like those other guys, but the squad is just an identity, like an adventuring group in a ga."

The woman, who should be an ice-cold beauty, was now pale with fear, sweating profusely, and loudly explained, "The Demon Elimination Squad is a rcenary-type group. For each Drought Fiend you kill, you receive corresponding rewards. People like us with strong powers don’t like to be restrained."

"Right, right, brother, you must stay calm."

The other seven were also sweating bullets, thinking that they could likely kill the opponent before being killed by the Firepower Flying Disc if they fought with all their might.

However, the guy on the other side seed to have also broken through a limit and had that strange pistol in hand; they didn’t dare to gamble.

Of course, the real reason they didn’t dare move was that being aid at by the Firepower Flying Disc’s barrel gave them a death crisis that felt tangible, rendering them petrified, feeling that any movent might get them killed.

The massive crater nearby was proof of that.

"Friend, I can recomnd you to join the Demon Elimination Squad. You can write whatever na you want, real or fake; the card is an electronic product, and anyone who has broken through a limit can join. That’s the nature of the squad."

The woman across suddenly threw a card over.

Taking advantage of the mont Yang Yuan looked at the card, the slightly chubby man finally prepared, suddenly shouted: "Prajna Paramita!!"

"Buzz——"

A huge beam of light enveloped the eight people and instantly transported them away.

Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow, blurting out: "Moonlight Treasure Box?! Isn’t it dayti?"

These people’s powers are indeed strange...

However, daring to watch his fun, they might be spared from death, but not from punishnt!

At the sa ti, ten kiloters away, a similar massive beam of light appeared, and the eight were transported over, everyone’s posture still holding the position from attacking the Wolf-shaped Drought Fiend.

But unlike before, the Wolf-shaped Drought Fiend was now gone, and half of their teammates were missing.

"Damn, we finally escaped!"

"That damned fifth guy almost got us blasted too!"

"That fifth guy thought he was invincible because of his elusive powers, now he’s dead and dragged us down with him!!"

"I told you, the fifth isn’t reliable..."

"Seems their whole group died, why am I a bit happy about that?"

"With our teammate sacrificed, we can indeed get a bigger share of the spoils. But without the fifth’s powers, it’s a bit inconvenient for us too."

"Who the hell was that guy? To create such a large Firepower Flying Disc, could it be the ’Magnifying Glass’ of the Rule System?"

"Speaking of that guy’s pistol, could it be so kind of Celestial Marvel? I’ve worked hard to earn rit points, just to exchange for a Marvel, so unfair..."

Everyone sat on the ground gasping for air in a most unseemly manner.

Including the woman who seed to be the leader, Wu Chengxin.

Although they hadn’t fought during that previous encounter, being aid at by a cannon over a ter in diater was a first in their lives.

That feeling was even more exhausting than after a big battle.

"What should we do next? Without our pathfinder, should we go back and get another to lead?" soone asked.

The man who was killed earlier had a wonderful Rule System Escape Technique, sowhat similar to the Five Elents Escape Technique from mythology; not only was it fast but it could control the earth, allowing him to escape into it.

Be it stone, earth, trees, or water, he could escape through them all.

But the guy got careless and killed himself.

However, the group was only a temporary team, with no real ties; they’d even fight each other for spoils sotis.

So there was hardly any talk of revenge.

Just then, Wu Chengxin’s face suddenly changed as she pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "That big guy is coming after us..."
