Chapter 68 - A Volcanic Minion On The Hunt

All of them rebuff themselves especially Qiao Jiao who was always taking the main force of the enemy. "Alright gather the loot go walk towards the dead monsters and see if we can have some loot." 

Jin said as he walked towards the front and whispered "Zero Eye Blue Bullet" After saying that a blue tab appeared in front of him saying [Zero Eye Blue bullet has been activated by the Bullet Heir]

at the same time, his left eye changes into a crosshair-like retina with a soft yellow glow and now he can see the whole 20 km radius in a 360 degree, with a blue print-like design in a 3-dimensional viewpoint. The whole place is now able to be seen through Jin's left eye.

"There are few heat signatures, around the place and a large one at the end of this road," Jin whispered as the other has been collecting all of the loot and gold that they have acquired from the fight. All of them rallied behind Jin when they were all done. "We are all done, Sir."

Fang Shirong said as all of them were behind Jin's back after that Jin leads them in. At their main formation, Jin was at the front and Qiao Jiao was on the side Fang Shirong was on the right-wing, and Qi Meili at the further back. Han Zian was always in the middle. As they were walking down the street they  Jin was still seeing heat signatures from the monster but they are not even attacking.

But then an explosion erupted, all of them tend to back up a little as they saw the fiery flame across another street a few meters away from where they are. After the fiery explosions far from then, it was followed by a thick black cloud smoke.

And the ground vibrated once again. As if there was something big ahead, and then they saw coming out from the thick black smoke, the magma veins and soon enough it was the volcanic minion. Its magma veins were so active that it quickly raises its hand.

"Spread out!" Jin shouted and each of them leaps to the side and an explosion was right directed at their old positions. *BOOM* the explosion followed at that power that was cast onto them. Jin coughs at the dust and smoke that was lingering near them. 

[Radio: This is T1, everyone check!]

[Radio: T2 Checkies]

[Radio: T3 Check round]

[Radio: T4 Check and clear Squad leader]

[Radio: T5 Check well I am flexible]

[Radio: All right I have some regards towards our enemy upfront, I want both of its legs crippled, So Qiao Jiao and Qi Meili work on that. Han Zian supports both of them. Fang Shirong used Deceived and clone yourself into 3 personas. You attack the left arm, And I will attack the right hand. Alright let's move!]

After that given orders from Jin, all of them move into their positions and placed them themselves where they are most needed. Qiao Jiao attacked the left leg, While Qi Meilie draws her first arrow from her quiver. Han Zian raised his book and waited for the order to cast.

[Radio: Engage…Engage]

Qiao Jiao swings his sword and slightly damaging the left leg of the volcanic minion, making it fall back a little. And as it was about to regain its balance a penetrating arrow pierced through its right leg which made an explosion that makes the right leg collapsed and the volcanic minion falls on the ground, the fall of the volcanic minion created dust of smoke around the perimeter making the whole place foggy. 

[Radio: T4 check radio check]

[Radio: this is T4 the volcanic minion is trying to form another cast permission to engage]

[Radio: This is T1 negative, don't engage without proper visual because we cannot support you if you attack, be advised all squad members get some cover for another explosion attack from the volcanic minion.]

Another explosion near the position where Han Zian is *BOOM* luckily Han Zian was not precisely on the place where the main trajectory of the explosion is. After 3 minutes the dust smoke clearly faces. And all of them saw the volcanic minion on the ground and trying to cast another spell.

[Radio: Engage!] 

Jin aimed his FXR-Raven he puts his finger on the trigger.

[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Ray Gun Burst] the compact power being generated at the barrel of the FXR-Raven was gradually increasing its Barrel emitting light was different and it was not orange but rather red-orange. And Jin pressed the trigger of the FXR-Raven, the compacted energy power fired to the left arm of the Volcanic minion.

And upon the impact of the firelight beam, the left arm of the Volcanic minion exploded, *BOOM* the explosion increated another explosion because of the reaction of the chemicals that was generated by the Ray Gun burst.  The explosion damage the shoulder and half of the face of the Volcanic minion. 

After that explosion, Qiao Jiao attacked the volcanic minion Right arm that was about to cast another spell. But Qiao Jiao would not let it cast the spell once again so she shouted in anger "Defiant Slash!" and she swings her sword.

The sword emitting aura was orange and the sword was able to damage the thick rock skin of the volcanic minion. The Thick rock ski of the volcanic minion cracks and falls on the ground. And it reveals the magma veins, And that is the signal for Qi Meili to fire the magma veins to reduce the explosion damage of the spell.

Qi Meili draws an arrow and aims at the magma veins. She then let loose of the string and the arrow fires in the direction of her right arm. Upon impact of the penetrating arrow, it exploded debris went flying and black smoke engulfs the location of the right arm. And when the black smoke dissipated the left and right arm of the volcanic minion is no longer be able to be used. 

Jin aims at the chest of the volcanic minion, he slowly put his finger at the trigger.[Triggering Skill usage chosen] {Registered Skill] [Firing Skill: Overcharged Death Ray] upon triggering that skill ability the FXR-Raven suddenly change its appearance its mainframe change into white and the imitating color was color yellow, which seems to be flashing light directed at the barrel. Meanwhile, at the end of the barrel, the compacted yellow-like energy is slowly being gathered. And Jin pressed the trigger and fired the FXR-Raven. 

*Phewww* the bullet that has been fired is like an orb of fire, and on the impact on the chest of the volcanic minion, it exploded the explosion was too powerful that Qiao Jiao runs away from the flying debris and the house that was near the volcanic minion falls on to the volcanic minion. The thick dust smoke covered the whole place of the explosion, after the first explosion there is another explosion but the explosion was mixed with the fiery flame. 

[Radio: Everyone check]

[Radio: This is T1, everyone check!]

[Radio: T2 Checkies clear]

[Radio: T3 Check round good still breathing]

[Radio: T4 Check and clear Squad leader]

[Radio: T5 Check well I am flexible but I am too energized today]

After that, a blue tab appeared in front of Jin. [You have defeated the volcanic minion your reward is 3000 Gold, 2900 experience] ``Not bad for a starter for this kind of mission being given to me.`` Jin reloaded his weapon and goes down from his position. Fang Shirong stood there and waited for him to strike sadly this time he was not able to join in because there were no orders from Jin.

He was not sad but he was actually happy that he did join the fight he got experience from it especially the fighting the seems to give a lot of view on missions. All of them receive the blue tab but the Gold varies from the person the lowest was Fang Shirong and the highest is the Squad leader.

All of them gather up when the smoke dissipates. Jin then looked at the volcanic minion that was laying on the ground its magma veins were now dark rocks. ``It was the end for these kinds of monsters``

Jin thought as he looked at the volcanic minion and imagine that the squad was able to defeat a real monster this time. 

"According to the tablet we are to stay here until we beat the monster, luckily for us we beat ahead of time. And also if we cannot beat the monster we must try dying that impossible outcome sadly we did not come across that. And Luckily we are all alive because of our training. And I am so proud that all of you, was able to make it. We are not the best team but our synergy and connection made this battle happen on our terms. Everyone let's celebrate!"

  Jin smiled at them as if he was toasting for their success.

Jin followed with "After 2 hours of resting we are going to return to the facility and report that we have successfully accomplished the given training mission. Fang Shirong takes a picture of the face of the volcanic minion using this tablet" Jin handed the table to Fang Shirong and Fang Shirong grabbed it and walked towards the volcanic minion.

As he was taking pictures, he felt that there is something lingering behind him.``What is that I wanna turn around just to make sure that I am the only one here.``

Fang Shirong sighed and he turned around but he did not see anything.. All he can see was the squad chatting at the far end of the street. "Maybe I am just tired that is why I am hearing something"
