Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 318 - Prey

Chapter 318: Prey

Three Atlantean teams rushed over. Their purpose was obvious. They were there for the super strong weapon!

The administrator had not said that they could not s.n.a.t.c.h the weapons of the natives. When it came to such a Battle Royale, weapons were the most important factor. Whoever obtained a good weapon would have a high chance of winning this game.

However, at that moment, Wei Huo’s huge gun displayed its might again. One shot killed an Atlantean, whose head exploded. However, another Atlantean still rushed over fearlessly.

The black captain fired again, but this shot did not find its aim. The black captain had aimed at that guy and dodged at the most critical moment.

The black captain did not believe it. He fired again, but the Atlantean still dodged the bullet at the most critical moment. Besides, the Atlantean was charging toward them at an extremely fast speed.

The black captain panicked and said, “No, I can’t hit this person!”

Wei Huo sensed around him carefully. Moments later, he said, “He sensed your killing intent before you shot him. That’s why he detected the rules behind the bullet and avoided it in advance. This person has reached the Epic stage.”

The black captain was confused. He did not know what to do. Thus, he asked, “What should I do?”

Wei Huo said, “We’ll fight when we get closer. The distance is too long. It will take time for the bullets to reach him.”

The black captain waited patiently after hearing Wei Huo’s words. He kept aiming at the Atlantean but waited for him to approach before delivering a fatal blow.

However, when the Atlantean was about 1,000 meters away from him, the Atlantean’s body suddenly flickered left and right. The enemy moved left and right at an extremely fast speed. Although his speed was reduced, it made it difficult for the black captain to aim.

The black captain was furious. He suddenly pulled the trigger and a bullet shot out. The huge rock under his body instantly shattered, and the leaves around him trembled due to the loud sound.

However, the shot still was not successful. The Atlantean had dodged the shot and was now rushing toward the black captain at a terrifying speed. The black captain did not have time to aim because the stone he used as a tripod had shattered.

The stone had taken the brunt of the huge gun’s powerful recoil. After the black captain had fired so many shots, the stone finally shattered.

The black captain rubbed his sore shoulders. If his physique had not been strong, he would not have been able to fire the gun. Although the gun was powerful, it was not something an ordinary person could use.

“I’m dead!” The black man frowned. However, when he recalled that he had killed a few Atlanteans, his brows relaxed. “But it was worth it.”

Wei Huo smiled. “Dead? That’s impossible.”

As soon as Wei Huo finished his sentence, the Atlantean who was charging over arrived. He leaped up, and his first target was indeed the black captain. However, as he leaped, an even stronger force descended on his body. Soon, he was pressed to the ground by this extremely powerful force.

He was shocked. Was it Epic?

He could not speak because the terrifying pressure had landed on his body. He did not even have the strength to open his mouth to speak. He could not even breathe.

It was too powerful. The pressure was too strong. Not only did it affect his body, but it also affected his spirit. At that moment, he felt like a huge mountain was pressing on his body and spirit. He even felt like he was about to faint.

I cannot faint! The Atlantean reminded himself. However, he could not do anything. The terrifying pressure would not let him off, and the black captain would not let him off either.

The Atlantean’s eyelids were getting heavier. He tried his best to widen his eyes, but he could not resist the double pressure on his body and mind. In the end, he saw the captain walk toward him with a dagger in his hand.

I’m dead! That was the only thought on the Atlantean’s mind. He did not deserve to be killed by the natives.

However, the black captain did not do anything in the end. He bowed deeply before Wei Huo and said, “I believe in you. I admire your strength. I beg you to allow me to make a small request. I want to continue using this gun to kill the enemy!”

Wei Huo pointed into the distance. “Follow me. None of the enemies can escape.”

As soon as the Atlantean lost, the other Atlanteans stopped moving forward. They realized that something was wrong, so they retreated without hesitation and soon escaped their shooting range.

The black captain nodded. He picked up the gun and followed Wei Huo.

Wei Huo left with the captain.

At that moment, the Atlantean who had fainted due to the strong pressure gradually woke up. He was a little surprised. “I escaped this calamity?”

He struggled to stand up. His bones were about to fall apart, as the pressure was too strong. However, he immediately realized that the surrounding plants had turned pitch-black, as if someone had splashed them with black dye.

He was confused. “Are plants on land pitch-black as well?”

He took a few steps and realized that not only had the surrounding plants turned black, but the ground had also turned black. The shattered stones had turned black as well. Even the clothes and armor he had obtained after hunting the natives had turned black.

“What is this?!” He was suddenly terrified. The black color gradually spread. Besides his clothes, his skin and arms had also started turning black.

He took out a knife and slashed his wrist. Black blood flowed out.

The Atlantean was terrified. “What is going on? Why is this happening?”

Soon, the Atlantean could not see anything. His eyes turned pitch-black as he shouted, “This is a curse! This must be the curse of the natives!”

He recalled that the natives here had black skin. That had to be the curse of the natives!

However, he did not know what would happen next. His body started shrinking and emitting water. Large amounts of water spread out, and his skin and muscles shriveled up.

Meanwhile, his body was also changing. He slowly turned from an upright person to an animal with four limbs stepping on the ground. He looked like a cheetah, but there was no hair on his body. He was shriveled and weak, like a mummy-like cheetah that had crawled out of an Egyptian pyramid.

The animal suddenly opened its pitch-black eyes and rushed into the distance. It was extremely fast and it kept sniffing the surrounding air. It found a lone Atlantean and quietly touched it.
