But what was truly astonishing was how swiftly Chu Xuan moved. Even with his eyes closed, every shot he fired managed to punch through the head or body of a Velociraptor. The power of that Gauss pistol was indeed extraordinary. Firing it produced absolutely no sound, as if it were a silent weapon, yet its lethality was staggering. A single, gentle bullet sent the raptor's massive skull shattering into dust, and even when hitting its torso, it left behind a hole the size of a bowl. The sheer power of the Gauss pistol was truly remarkable.
What was even more incredible was Chu Xuan’s marksmanship. Despite his eyes being shut, he missed not a single shot. Every raptor that lunged at him was struck down and killed. It seemed utterly unbelievable, but only Zheng Zha understood the truth: Chu Xuan wasn't just gifted with precognition. He was constantly attacking several points in space surrounding his body, his barrages following a strict, rhythmic pattern. Because of this, he immediately pulled Wang Xia and Ba Wang flat to the ground. The Gauss pistol possessed infinite power; dying to a stray bullet from it would be a truly unjust and inexpressible tragedy.
After dispatching seven or eight raptors, Chu Xuan finally opened his eyes. He then annihilated the remaining few within seconds. Following this, Chu Xuan stood still, sinking into deep contemplation. Even as the other three approached him, the man remained lost in thought.
Zheng Zha walked over to the Triceratops carcass and pulled out the Spear of Judgment.
He then approached Chu Xuan and said, "Is that what you call Gun-Fu? It seemed to involve attacking the surroundings according to a pattern, but did you really need to close your eyes for it?" Chu Xuan snapped back from his reverie and stated blandly, "This isn't yet Gun-Fu. Exchanging for that skill at the 'Main God' terminal is far too costly, and I roughly grasp its fundamental principles. I was merely testing if the theory holds true in practice." "From what I see now, the principle behind this Gun-Fu method is indeed sound, though a few aspects still require further refinement..." While the two were speaking, Ba Wang and Wang Xia stared at the fallen raptors and the Triceratops, sighing in wonder. Both possessed their own weaponry, but because the noise generated during use was too loud, neither dared employ their weapons easily, especially after witnessing the dragon-slaying prowess of Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan. The thought of the Reward Points obtainable from killing these creatures filled them with envy.
The group continued moving deeper into the grasslands, with Chu Xuan still preoccupied by his thoughts.
After a long pause, he suddenly spoke, "Zheng Zha, I recall you mentioning an item—a watch that can bring plot missions into the 'Main God' space, correct? Can we bring plot-based creatures into the 'Main God' space? For instance... a Pterosaur, or the Triceratops we just saw, or perhaps even... a Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Zheng Zha froze momentarily.
He considered it, then replied, "I'm not sure about that. Based on the functions of the watch I know of, it only allows the transportation of plot-based characters into the 'Main God' space. As for items that might enable the transport of creatures... we can search thoroughly when we return this time. But why would we need such a thing? Even if we had it, wouldn't it be rather useless?" Chu Xuan shook his head. "Every horror film possesses potential biological assets. Take Starship Troopers, for instance—you know that film, right? If we manage to acquire a very powerful insectoid creature there, and we use that item to bring it into the 'Main God' space, with the ability to control its movements, wouldn't that creature be useful? My concern isn't just whether we can bring them into the 'Main God' space. It's whether, if we can tame them and bring them into the 'Main God' space, we can find a method to transport them into other horror film worlds. Considering the size of these creatures, do you think they can pass through the light pillar? If we can truly solve those two issues, then I have some excellent creature choices in mind—like the dragon from The Lord of the Rings, the ten-meter-tall great eagles, or even that colossal war elephant fifty meters high. In short, the 'Main God' space seems to hold infinite possibilities. It all depends on whether you can unearth them."
Zheng Zha nodded, about to speak, but Chu Xuan interrupted him.
"Zheng Zha, if your Vampire energy were completely depleted, roughly how long would it take to fully recover? I mean, in your current state of Vampire energy..." Zheng Zha thought it over. "About five to six hours. That’s already quite a fast recovery rate. Why do you ask? Do you need me to use the 'Explosion' skill somewhere?" Chu Xuan didn't answer directly. Instead, he pulled the island topography map from his coat. He made some quick measurements on the blueprint, then announced, "Summon the Death God Army. Use their melee strength and sheer numbers to begin hunting herbivorous and smaller dinosaurs on this grassland, excluding large carnivores like the T-Rex... It will take us about four to five hours to reach the island's center. By then, even if your Vampire energy hasn't fully recovered, you should be able to use the 'Explosion' skill. So, rather than wasting the Death God Army's potent combat strength, it’s better to utilize them fully for hunting. The cumulative Reward Points will be substantial."
This was certainly a highly effective approach. After all, the Death God Army relied entirely on close combat, and as long as their heads remained intact, they wouldn't truly die. Crucially, these Death God Army monsters stood about three meters tall and possessed a brawny physique; compared to the smaller Velociraptors, the Death God Army soldiers actually held the advantage.
Zheng Zha couldn't help but sigh at the comparative ease of this standard-level horror film. Ever since entering the world of horror films, every experience he had faced was an almost team-wiping, ultra-hard difficulty scenario. Forget about seeking out side plots or gaining extra Reward Points; survival itself depended on the whims of fate. Feeling safe, walking through a horror film world, and comfortably accumulating Reward Points and side plot completion metrics—this feeling... was utterly blissful.
Sighing, Zheng Zha took out the Death God Bracelet. This bracelet had been removable since he completed the Scorpion King's side plot; he only needed to put it back on when required. As he slipped the bracelet on, his Vampire energy vanished, and gradually, hundreds of Death God Army monsters rose from the ground—all pitch-black, dog-headed creatures, standing about three meters tall, each wielding a long, broad saber, presenting an image of pure brute force.
As Zheng Zha issued the command to hunt the dinosaurs, these Death God Army monsters quickly formed six squads, each comprising fifty stout, powerful soldier-monsters. These Egyptian-styled creatures suddenly appeared on Dinosaur Island, charging across the scattered herbivores in military formations. The scene was bizarrely strange, but Zheng Zha gradually grew excited. He watched as a sleeping Stegosaurus was overturned by a dozen Death God Army monsters, then hacked apart by numerous strikes, slicing the dinosaur into several sections. Although dinosaur bodies were immense, under the assault of the numerically superior Death God Army, these herbivores offered virtually no resistance. Barring the occasional destruction of a few Death God Army soldiers, most dinosaurs were simply hacked to death.
Zheng Zha, Ba Wang, and Wang Xia grew more and more exhilarated as they proceeded, but Chu Xuan’s brow remained deeply furrowed. After another hour of walking, Zheng Zha finally couldn't hold back his question: "Isn't this horror film very simple? Even though we haven't encountered a T-Rex, with our formidable firepower, we shouldn't fear its attack, right? What exactly are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that the difficulty is too low."
Chu Xuan stated frankly, "This difficulty is simply too easy. Perhaps for ordinary people or regular soldiers, these dinosaurs are fearsome offensive creatures, but given our immense firepower, and with you possessing both magic and the Death God Army to deal with them, this level of difficulty is too simple for us. While this does align with my previous inference—the difficulty for a seven-person team, a standard reincarnation squad—I am increasingly convinced that the side plots will not be simple." "If the goal is merely to survive and return, or to kill a large number of dinosaurs for Reward Points and then leave, this difficulty is practically a point farm; everyone could easily earn over three thousand Reward Points. Even without the income from side plots, that is a significant reward. But what about the side plots? The two we need to complete—finding the mad scientist and going to the island from the first movie... I'm increasingly feeling that those two side plots might be extremely dangerous and difficult, potentially leading to our complete annihilation. Although I can't be certain, based on all the signs so far, our first side plot is likely to involve..."
