The eighth-level monster was enormous. After being hit, it fell from the sky and crashed violently to the ground.
Those who witnessed this scene gasped in shock.
The power was just too great. How could a single shot bring down an eighth-level existence and cause such severe injuries?
At this moment, the eighth-level monster lay on the ground, its affected side facing up, a gruesome sight where flesh and blood were mangled, and even bones were visible at the center of the wound.
While some were astonished by the severity of the injuries, others were not satisfied with such a result.
For instance, Ye Zhongming.
The damage caused by magic crystal weapons was not explosive but rather cutting damage, energy slicing through.
Hence, targets killed by magic crystal weapons were typically dismembered. Particularly in the case of being shot down by artillery, it wasn't merely dismemberment but rather pulverization.
Under normal circumstances, if an eighth-level monster were killed by that shot, it would have been reduced to a pile of meat by now.
But clearly, it wasn’t dead, and its injuries were far from what they appeared to be, as even the wound on its back showed little sign of being cut open.
Instead, many nearby zombies were affected, resulting in a significant number of casualties.
Although the first shot was avoided by the eighth-level monster, it struck the ground. The damage caused by such a massive cannon was incomparable to those magic crystal cannons on the city wall; a large area of zombies was instantly killed, including a high-ranking sixth-level existence.
The second shot, which brought the eighth-level monster crashing from the sky, also crushed several zombies. Combined, the damage was roughly equivalent to a volley from a v2 Model Grenade Launcher.
Consequently, the situation near the Earth Yellow Pill Golden Statue was somewhat alleviated.
However, Ye Zhongming knew that things were far from simple. The eight monsters were staggering back to their feet.
At this level, whether human or mutated life, their vitality was extraordinarily resilient. Particularly the latter, as their physical form was a natural advantage, and this monster was no exception. A shot that could kill a sixth-level existence with a magic crystal cannon could only injure it, illustrating its formidable defense.
If it were to rise, it would likely retaliate fiercely.
The current eighth-level monster was extremely close to the Earth Yellow Pill Golden Statue. If it vented its anger toward the statue, it would be disastrous; it could destroy the Earth Yellow Pill by itself.
Ye Zhongming had no choice but to intervene, even though his body hadn’t fully recovered yet.
He took out a green sniper rifle.
With just a quick aim, he fired a bullet.
Earthquake Suppression Armor-Piercing Gun!
This high-quality equipment had four inherent abilities, granting Ye Zhongming tremendous long-range attack capability. It was with this gun that he had killed the seven-star evolver in the resistance area.
At that time, Ye Zhongming himself wasn’t even a seven-star yet.
This Earth series firearm possessed powerful passive abilities that not only increased accuracy and range but also enhanced penetration and secondary damage, meaning distant explosions and forceful impacts.
Combined with Ye Zhongming's deadly marksmanship master skill, muzzle space folding, holding this gun turned him into a harvester of lives.
If it weren't for the extreme rarity of high-level bullets as disposable resources, Ye Zhongming could challenge slower life forms with just this gun!
Now, with the safety of the Earth Yellow Pill at stake, Ye Zhongming was no longer stingy and loaded all the high-level bullets he had crafted earlier into the gun.
Under the enhancement of the Earth Set, this shot accurately struck the head of the eighth-level monster.
Ye Zhongming's pupils constricted, and he pulled the trigger again.
He had thought that even if this shot couldn't blow the monster's vast head apart, it would still cause significant damage.
