"You've already killed an archer dragon guard?"

"Really?"

"Is it that simple? Maybe I'll give it a try?"

Upon hearing the sniper above, Wang Zhifan, explain his actions just now, the three teammates looking up from the mountain path were instantly shocked.

The middle-aged man in the leather jacket quickly furrowed his brows in silence, seemingly manipulating something to verify the claim.

The female swordsman had simple doubts regarding the young man's statements above.

The gunner teammate was half-convinced, somewhat eager to try, and began attempting to climb the rock wall in front of him, wanting to join the shooting from a high position.

But Wang Zhifan didn't pay attention to their words. He just crouched on the stone, continuing to aim through the sniper scope in front of him, then fired one terrible bullet after another.

At this moment, the sniper scope's view presented to his eyes was not as narrow as others imagined; it was rather wide.

He could see ten tall warriors clad in pitch-black steel armor standing on a platform hundreds of meters ahead. Each of these fully armed warriors was carrying either a sword and shield or a pair of axes, or an exaggeratedly large sword as big as a door plank on their shoulders. They all looked imposing and powerful, like champions well-tested on the battlefield.

Around the platform where these elite warriors stood, there seemed nothing noteworthy at a glance on the mountain walls a hundred or two meters away. However, his sniper scope had a certain penetration function, revealing a few archers in leather light armor, agile, hiding behind stones and trees on those mountain walls. The longbows and arrows they wore faintly glimmered with an unnatural light, clearly not ordinary items.

Though at this moment in his sight, three of the originally four archers were already dead.

The first was blown to pieces by his exceptional Endless Series Sniper Rifle, using its penetrative lock-on ability to destroy the tree he was hiding behind. The second was blasted into sludge by a single sniper bullet that exploded the rock he hid behind. The third was taken down by two consecutive shots; the first shot shattered the heavy rock he hid behind, forcing him out, and the second shot directly locked onto his head, blasting away the upper half of his body.

"I was worried I couldn't use a sniper rifle, but this exceptional sniper rifle makes it brainless with its penetration lock-on ability. Scoping in and killing enemies is as easy as whack-a-mole."

Wang Zhifan adjusted the scope on his exceptional weapon to lock on to the fourth archer dragon guard, while internally feeling lucky for choosing this powerful and user-friendly weapon at the end of the last quest.

However, before his lock-on was complete this time, he suddenly found that his series of remote kills had impacted the ten melee dragon guards on the platform ahead. They seemed to perceive a hidden danger beyond their sight, no longer stood like wooden figures on the stone platform awaiting enemies, but suddenly moved collectively, charging down the stepway mountain path connected to the platform below!

"Watch out! The melee dragon guards are charging down!"

Upon noticing this situation, Wang Zhifan immediately warned his teammates below, and they reacted promptly as well.

The middle-aged beast tamer player in the leather jacket had his giant gray bear, which was staying on the mountain path ahead, push forward immediately as Wang Zhifan sounded the alarm. Simultaneously, his golden eagle, circling in the nearby sky, swooped down at speed, seeming unconcerned about its pet being injured.

He probably confirmed through his golden eagle's reconnaissance that the hidden archer dragon guards were indeed killed off by Wang Zhifan's sniping, and without the threat of enemy long-range firepower, the pressure on his combat pets wouldn't be as great as expected.

The female swordsman player then switched her pistol to a white long sword. With a burst of strength from her foot, her whole body moved like a phantom up the mountain path. By the time the big gray bear at the front started roaring in battle against the oncoming black steel-armored enemies, she had already reached the rear side of this summoned beast, then suddenly burst into action, precisely stabbing a war axe dragon guard's neck who was trying to flank and attack the gray bear's hind leg, showcasing her extraordinary speed and precision sharp sword technique.

As for the last young gunner, at this moment, he was still struggling to climb the rock wall in front of him, so when the situation changed, he couldn't support his teammates as timely as the first two. However, he quickly jumped back from the rock wall to the mountain path steps, drew out his black and gray-colored rifle, and began shooting quickly at the melee dragon guards revealing themselves above.

As a true gunner professional player, his shooting was extremely accurate, with at least half of his bullets avoiding the steel armor of the melee dragon guards above, directly hitting their unprotected eyes, quickly diminishing their combat capabilities.

"These teammates' skills seem decent; it seems I won't need to step in."

Wang Zhifan, at this moment, became the most leisurely of the four players. He first observed the battle between his teammates and the charging ten melee dragon guards for two seconds, seeing the scale of victory quickly tipping towards his teammates from the very beginning of the fight, then breathed a sigh of relief, turning his attention back to the sniper scope before him.

His target was still very clear—to take down the last remaining archer dragon guard. The opponent almost got locked down by his penetration ability just now, but the earlier anomaly had triggered a reaction.

The enemy no longer remained stationary like his previous, already-dead companions but began actively charging down the mountain wall hundreds of meters away, seemingly intending to support the melee dragon guards descending the platform. After all, it was tough to attack the positions below the platform from where he stood on the mountain wall.

Wang Zhifan naturally wasn't going to wait for the opponent to come down and draw their bow to kill his teammates. He immediately utilized the penetration lock-on ability of his exceptional sniper rifle in hand, aiming for a one-shot kill.

However, he then discovered an uncomfortable situation: he felt that his sniper rifle struggled to lock onto the target that started moving continuously and quickly. The previous archer dragon guards he took down rarely moved, so he hadn't felt this before. Now, with this fourth target constantly running or jumping down the mountain wall, the speed at which the scope's crosshairs locked onto the opponent's body was noticeably slower, needing extra time to adjust and adhere to the target.

"It seems the lock-on ability of this sniper rifle isn't perfect; it's only efficient when locking onto stationary targets, and struggles with continuously moving targets... Of course, it could also be due to my shooting aiming skills not being proficient enough," Wang Zhifan thought to himself and then fired as soon as the lock-on completed, instantly blasting the archer dragon guard racing down the mountain into fragments.
