Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1350: Long-Range Sniping

Zhang Yi could sense that there must be something good inside the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

But that place was currently a hotly contested strategic point, and staying there in a stalemate wouldn't yield any results.

It was better to take advantage of the emptiness inside the Demon Kingdom's Ancient City, letting Liang Yue and the others first go into the city to collect information and see if there were any ancient literature records.

And he himself could patrol the entire city from a high vantage point.

As he said, he could fight if needed and leave if needed. With him here keeping watch, neither Gao Changkong nor Lancelot would dare act recklessly.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yue and the others immediately understood Zhang Yi's intention.

Yang Xinxin said, "If we want to search for information, we must go to the local places where archives and books are stored. There are definitely ancient texts here that don't exist in our outside world."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yue and the others, with the assistance of Mu Yan's shadows, immediately left to search the city.

And Zhang Yi himself set up his sniper rifle in mid-air.

Gao Changkong and Lancelot might detect it.

It was a very mysterious thing, probably a person's will, released in the form of brainwaves.

Killing intent was a relatively strong form of will, easily picked up by others.

He was simply observing the area around the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

He could temporarily refrain from taking the things inside the demon tower, but others shouldn't even think about it either.

Gao Changkong was also in a difficult position at this moment.

His Reincarnation Deduction always failed when encountering Zhang Yi, so he didn't dare proceed with the battle using his usual methods.

But continuing to delay here wasn't a solution either.

After pondering for a while, he came up with a plan.

So Gao Changkong said to Lancelot, "If we continue this stalemate, neither of us will get the things inside the tower. How about we cooperate?"

"We'll split the items fifty-fifty, then explore inside together. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Lancelot looked toward the horizon.

In the distance, the Lord of the Charnel Ground was engaged in a bloody battle with the Demon Kingdom's Grand Priest.

And once he finished and came here, Lancelot's chance of obtaining the treasures inside the tower would become even slimmer.

"Good, I think that's an excellent idea!"

The two hit it off immediately, neither willing to waste time here.

Then, the two called their subordinates and prepared to enter the Nine-Story Demon Tower together.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi's lips curled slightly into a smile. This exact situation was also within his expectations.

So without hesitation, he raised his gun, aimed at Gao Changkong, and pulled the trigger!

The deafening roar of Thunderbolt was like an explosion in the sky, and the bullet imbued with terrifying void power arrived behind Gao Changkong in an instant.

Gao Changkong sensed the threat of death, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk instantly appeared behind him.

A massive treasure bottle manifested in his palm, swallowing the bullet that symbolized death and destruction.

"Crack!"

A very faint shattering sound was heard, and everyone present heard it.

A black crack appeared on the body of the treasure bottle.

Gao Changkong's gaze turned grave, his eyes looking toward the distant direction from which the bullet had come.

Just one bullet from Zhang Yi had made his strongest defensive measure somewhat struggle to withstand.

It could withstand at most three bullets. The fourth would completely destroy his Treasure Bottle Seal.

"Sigh, I knew that guy would be troublesome!"

Gao Changkong said helplessly.

His previous plan had been ruined by Zhang Yi, and this time, knowing the person coming was Zhang Yi, his head ached terribly.

Among the Epsilons of the Huaxu Kingdom, Zhang Yi was the one he least wanted to face.

There might be those more powerful than Zhang Yi, but none with abilities more annoying than his.

Zhang Yi never cared about winning or losing against others. Perhaps for him, as long as he didn't die, it wasn't a loss.

Therefore, even superhumans stronger than Zhang Yi could be driven to frustration by his multitude of escape and defensive abilities.

For example, right now, Zhang Yi was sniping them from over ten kilometers away.

Zhang Yi's bullets had the power to kill them, but to solve the Zhang Yi problem, they would have to send one person over to find and delay him.

However, neither side could possibly go over and leave the opportunity for the other.

Zhang Yi put away his gun after firing one shot.

He wasn't in a hurry to launch continuous attacks. Applying pressure from behind the scenes like this was the method of an experienced hunter.

He could do nothing at all, as long as the others also didn't enter the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

After all, his people were already collecting useful information.

Looking at Gao Changkong's cracked treasure bottle, Lancelot said, "Do you understand that guy's abilities? Is there a way to deal with him first?"

Gao Changkong looked at Lancelot.

"His sniping methods are very troublesome, but—this person's close combat ability is very weak. As long as you can get close to him, he'll be exceptionally flustered."

His words were half-truth, half-lie.

When he knew Zhang Yi two years ago, Zhang Yi back then never liked close combat with others.

But so much time had passed, and he wasn't clear about Zhang Yi's current state.

He said this deliberately to make Lancelot go find Zhang Yi, so he could take the opportunity to lead his people inside to search for treasures.

A trace of mockery flashed in Lancelot's ice-blue eyes.

"If that's the case, why didn't you just attack him directly when he was here earlier?"

Gao Changkong sighed lightly, "After all, he and I are from the same hometown. I would consider our shared sentiment."

"I don't believe it!"

Lancelot said directly.

He looked toward Zhang Yi's direction, "That guy likes to attack from behind. How about this: the two of us stay behind to block his attacks. We'll create an opportunity for our subordinates to go inside and search for the Demon Kingdom's treasures. What do you think?"

"I think... not very good."

Gao Changkong said, "I can block his bullets at most three times. If we try to block his attacks, we cannot dodge, otherwise our subordinates will definitely die!"

"But if we forcibly block his attacks, are we supposed to just keep blocking them?"

Lancelot's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Let's get the people inside first! It won't take too long."

The opening of the Nine-Story Demon Tower was on top, blasted open by Zhang Yi.

Even at their fastest, their people would need two to three seconds.

And this gap would be enough for Zhang Yi to fire five shots.

In other words, they would have to tank these five bullets!

One person alone would find it difficult, but with two people sharing the burden, it wouldn't be such a big problem.

After thinking it over, Gao Changkong said, "Alright then, we'll each take one bullet! I've already taken one, so you go first!"

The two made a quick decision, immediately ordering their subordinates to enter the Nine-Story Demon Tower at the fastest speed possible.

And the two of them stood together facing Zhang Yi's direction, prepared to forcibly block Zhang Yi's attacks.
