CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 270: POOR SKILLS? HE DID IT ON PURPOSE!

The three people beside him, Xing Lingfeng and the others, were actually quite troublesome at this moment.

But Lin Yue could now understand that these three were actually pretty good to him.

At least when dozens of Lizardmen came to attack, their decision was not to leave right away but to stay behind and cover his retreat.

Even in a situation that was life-threatening to them, they still said, "You can’t get hurt."

And when they saw the sniper rifle in his hand, they didn’t want to leave; rather, they planned to assist him in battle at all times.

Lin Yue understood their intentions.

But indeed, as long as these few people were here, he couldn’t fight in his usual way.

After all, the number of treasure chests that would burst from a group of Lizardmen would be terrifying.

And his cheat that guaranteed treasure chest drops would be discovered at the same time.

This kind of thing absolutely couldn’t happen.

"You guys retreat! If you want to trade with me in the future."

Lin Yue’s hand was on the trigger, removing the silencer, and with a bang, a bullet shot out, piercing through a Lizardman’s leg!

Xing Lingfeng saw a shadow fall in the distance, knowing Lin Yue’s weapon had taken effect, and as Lin Yue continued to fire, more Lizardmen screamed and fell!

The gunfire was deafening, and all three were utterly shocked by Lin Yue’s advanced weapon!

However, it seemed like Lin Yue’s marksmanship wasn’t great.

The Lizardmen didn’t seem to be hit in any vital spots.

At least from where they stood, the Lizardmen rushing over were all clutching their legs and screaming, not one was shot dead.

Perhaps it was the tense atmosphere affecting him, perhaps it was their presence, perhaps the Underground Ruins were too dim, or perhaps the Lizardmen were running too wildly.

Now, Lin Yue couldn’t exert his combat power; not a single bullet was on target.

But that was already enough.

The Lizardmen wouldn’t be stupid enough to keep charging when someone kept firing.

And the Survivors among them who had surrendered weren’t particularly strong-willed; if they still dared to charge after hearing gunfire, they’d be crazy.

"Lin Yue, we’ll clear the danger behind you on the other side. This side... it’s up to you!" Xing Lingfeng said, pulling You Siyuan and retreating continuously.

They were more of a burden now, rather than a help to Lin Yue.

And at this moment, with two screams, they saw two people mixed in with the Lizardmen being shot through the thighs by Lin Yue, rolling on the ground unable to get up.

Xing Lingfeng looked at Lin Yue; his face didn’t even show a trace of emotion.

Except for pulling the trigger, he was just changing magazines... Wait, did sniper rifles have that many bullets in the magazine?

Xing Lingfeng dragged the two beside him, retreating tens of meters, while the sound of gunfire continued.

They had to go back to check on their team members; if they got separated in this place, who knew what might happen!

When Lin Yue saw the three leave, he didn’t change his strategy.

The sniper rifle continually fired, more Lizardmen and beggars fell.

But every bullet Lin Yue shot was aimed at non-vital parts of them.

The purpose, naturally, was to prevent them from releasing treasure chests.

Although one did release a treasure chest, the system’s sound wouldn’t be heard by anyone other than the Survivors themselves, so it wasn’t conspicuous in the dim light.

After a while, not a Lizardman was left standing, and Lin Yue realized Xing Lingfeng and the others were no longer nearby, so he didn’t need to conceal anything.

The weapon in his hand switched to an Alloy Tactical Crossbow, and Lin Yue walked over to finish off the beggars.

These people were noisy and constantly begged for mercy, making a mess and being quite annoying.

Moreover, most importantly, if he dealt with the Lizardmen first, these people would undoubtedly discover his secret of making treasure chests appear.

Without the system, this wouldn’t matter much; seeing wasn’t doing anything.

But the system’s group and world channel could allow these people to expose his secret to the entire world before dying.

That absolutely couldn’t happen.

"So, you must die," Lin Yue said, continually harvesting with the Iron Spear.

He felt no emotion for these people, without any sympathy or anything.

They had mixed with Lizardmen and, after his warning, still went their own way, hobnobbing with Lizardmen, just like the three who were blown up earlier, these people were utterly rotten.

Using bullets on them was obviously wasteful, although he still had plenty of bullets.

"Six people, six cubic meters of Storage Space, not bad." Lin Yue quickly finished, and then started on the Lizardmen on the ground.

As treasure chests burst out, he swiftly collected them into his Storage Space. Although Xing Lingfeng and the others were already far away, he still exercised extreme caution.

It didn’t take long, and the last Lizardman’s screams ceased, and Lin Yue deliberately left a Copper Treasure Chest there.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Lin Yue turned to see Xing Lingfeng and his group rushing over.

"Lin Yue..." Xing Lingfeng looked at the blood-soaked ground and the bodies scattered around, his breathing also turning rapid.
