Chapter 124: Tyrannosaurus
Destiny's Dominion · 第一二四章 暴龙
For the next two and a half days, Li Mochen spent his time in the Dark World.
In the first two days, they didn't rush to find the giant beast Elisa had mentioned. Instead, under her guidance, they hunted high-value targets.
Thanks to Elisa's excellent intelligence-gathering abilities, their harvest was exceptionally gratifying. In just two days, Li Mochen alone had obtained a full 170,000 gold shields.
This was because they had found a herd of black-blood goats—the blood of these wild black-blood goats also had the effect of enhancing sexual performance, making them highly popular on the market and extremely valuable.
Thus, this hunting trip was not only easy but also immensely profitable.
It wasn't until Sunday afternoon that Elisa, as promised, drove their Varangian armored off-road vehicle to the southern part of the Blackfire Wasteland.
"To our southeast, at a fifty-seven-degree angle, fifteen kilometers away."
Elisa guided Li Mochen with binoculars to locate the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus: "That's a level-fourteen Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus. I think it should meet your requirements—it has earth attributes and possesses天赋法术 of earth, wood, fire, and thunder. But if you really plan to take it on, you need to be careful. The Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus's movement speed is usually slow, but when hunting or in special situations, its running speed under the Thunder Walk spell can briefly exceed Mach 1."
As she spoke, Elisa glanced sideways at Li Mochen, secretly hoping he would back down.
Behind them, Qi Tai and Brent Goodman exchanged startled glances.
Were they serious about taking on a Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus?
Although it was only a terrestrial dragon species, its combat power was exceptionally formidable. Both its strength, dozens of times greater than that of magical creatures of the same level, and its incredibly tough scales were enough to make most high-level professionals in Ghost City steer clear.
A level-fourteen Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus was also enough to be the dominant existence in this Blackfire Wasteland.
But Li Mochen's eyes gleamed with excitement. The target Elisa provided was more suitable than he could have imagined. So he unceremoniously reached out his hand to Elisa: "Same rules as before—if the first shot doesn't hit the vital spot, we leave immediately."
Hearing this, Qi Tai and the others finally felt a bit relieved. Elisa reluctantly handed Li Mochen the Butler heavy magical sniper rifle, along with three silver-white bullets with mystical patterns.
"These are special-grade armor-piercing incendiary rounds I prepared for you, costing ten thousand gold shields each. But unless you have special connections, you can't buy them on the market."
Elisa looked pained: "Don't waste them. If the first shot misses, you absolutely must not take a second. Also, the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus's only weak points are its eyes and its abdomen. Actually, the scales on its abdomen are also very tough. But the penetrating power of the special-grade armor-piercing incendiary rounds can pierce them. If you accurately hit the heart, you can immobilize the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus. Its body is too massive; it needs a strong heart to pump blood. But the difficulty is that the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus knows how to protect it."
Li Mochen said nothing. He picked up the Butler, loaded the bullets, and walked toward a giant tree a hundred meters away.
He had already learned all this from the book 'A Preliminary Study of Magical Creatures.' He knew well the dangers and weaknesses of the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus.
Soon, Li Mochen found a suitable sniping position on the tree—a forked branch about twenty-four meters above the ground.
This small platform could accommodate both him and his gun, and the view was ideal.
He could have climbed higher, but Li Mochen didn't. Although the view from higher up was broader, once the battle started, his line of sight might be blocked by the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus's lowered head.
While Li Mochen began calculating the trajectory and waiting for the wind speed to calm down, Elisa led Li Mochen's two bodyguards to set up traps nearby.
About half an hour later, Qi Tai drove their Varangian armored off-road vehicle back to the base of the giant tree. Then the three people in the car had no intention of getting out, and the engine remained idling, ready to go.
"Is A-Mo's sniping skill very good?"
Qi Tai asked Elisa while looking at the distant scene through binoculars: "Hitting a vital spot at fifteen kilometers is no small feat—even you can't do it, right?"
"I definitely can't!"
Elisa pursed her lips, then hesitated: "As for A-Mo... I'm not sure."
"EMMM?"
Qi Tai looked at Elisa in disbelief: "Not sure? I don't understand."
"He once accurately hit the eyeball of a Wildfire Mammoth from 13.7 kilometers away."
Elisa smiled bitterly: "But I suspect it was a coincidence! At that time, a gust of wind happened to blow the bullet that had gone off course back on track."
"How could that be?"
Just as Qi Tai was at a loss for words, Brent beside him tensed up: "Can you two chat later? The boss is about to make his move."
He felt that Li Mochen's aura had changed from before.
It was as if he had merged into the world around him. This state of being one with the natural environment and surrounding magical energy was something he had sensed many times over the past few days.
At this moment, Li Mochen, perched on the tree trunk, visualized the 'Divine Firmament Spirit Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda' in his mind. After making his wish, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
After that, Li Mochen didn't wait for the result of the shot. He loaded another bullet as quickly as the gun allowed, rapidly corrected the gun's position shifted by the recoil, and pulled the trigger a second time, producing another 'bang' from the muzzle.
The muzzle velocity of the Butler heavy magical sniper rifle was an astonishing Mach 30. In less than twenty seconds, a spray of blood burst from the right eye of the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus.
The terrestrial giant, at least nine meters tall, reeled backward in agony.
At that moment, Li Mochen's second bullet followed closely, precisely hitting the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus's heart, causing a fountain of blood to spurt from the spot.
"Whoa~"
The three in the car were speechless. Qi Tai's eyes were filled with shock.
"Predicting dozens of seconds in advance, the boss's marksmanship is simply—"
His words trailed off because Li Mochen had already fired a third shot. As the Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus, in its death throes, gradually accelerated to over Mach 1, the bullet directly pierced its other eyeball.
So he stopped talking and instead looked at Elisa with a complex expression.
"What are you looking at?"
Elisa, annoyed by the stares from the two beside her, said angrily: "If he keeps holding that sniper rifle, aren't you two redundant?"
Qi Tai thought that was true, then turned the key to shut off the engine and got out of the driver's seat.
The Thunderfire Tyrannosaurus had tenacious vitality and strong self-healing abilities; it could still charge to this location.
So next, they still had to prepare for battle—though the process would certainly be easy.
