Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 148: Live Targets

As the situation turned grim by the seconds, with all the Shadow Wolves preparing to retaliate, Xu Feng's expression remained unchanged.

Instead of scolding or even blaming Zhao Kai, he smiled and patted his shoulder.

"You must be wondering how you whiffed when your scope was on it, right?" Xu Feng questioned.

Silent, Zhao Kai avoided eye contact briefly and slowly nodded his head.

He had ensured everything was spot on before squeezing the trigger to fire. Yet the outcome turned out completely away from his expectations.

Seeing his distressed state which looked no different than a person who was abandoned, Xu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Your aim was right on point, but the reason why you missed it is because you failed to calculate one factor." Xu Feng commented.

"One factor?"

Zhao Kai raised an eyebrow, his expression a mixture of doubt and confusion.

"Yes, the most crucial factor to be precise." Xu Feng shook his head and continued, "A live target is different from an immobile target. An immobile target would remain still no matter what, whereas a live target is movable."

As if a thunderbolt had struck upon him, Zhao Kai finally realized where it had gone wrong.

It wasn't the fact that he failed to aim and angle his gun properly, but it was the fact that he didn't calculate the supposed leader might dodge from instinct.

Thus, the first shot missed narrowly, and the second shot was a complete miss because the enemy had already been alerted and ready for it.

Instead of thinking about adjusting it, he pathetically and foolishly continued to fire, triggering every aggro on him.

"What should we do now, Feng?" Zhao Kai smiled bitterly.

He turned and pointed at the wolves making their way toward their uphill position. "They're all rushing over here and the drugs are in effect, but it's not enough to stop them."

However, Xu Feng remained still, almost as if he had no intention of doing anything.

"Feng, the wolves are rushing in like some gangs or mafia. Shouldn't we start running?" Zhao Kai exclaimed, feeling the tense situation. He wasn't afraid of dying, but if they died because of his mistakes, then he would feel guilty.

They were able to respawn if they got killed, but the problem was that everything Xu Feng did would be wasted.

At that time, they would have to redo the whole process, and who knows if the Shadow Wolves were going to fall for the same trick again?

As time was ticking down, Zhao Kai hurriedly took his stance and shot at the very front wolf.

Despite aiming for its critical flesh points, the wolf narrowly avoided the bullet on its critical flesh point but still got shot in its other part.

"Tsk, live targets are really annoying." Zhao Kai clicked his tongue, finally realizing how massive the difference was between firing a stationary monster and a moving monster.

Frustrated as he may be, Zhao Kai refused to give up and continued to fire.

However, unlike previously where he would aim the bullet right at the wolf, he attempted to predict its actions when trying to dodge.

BANG!

Zhao Kai fired a shot, but unfortunately, the wolf didn't even attempt any dodging as they dashed ahead.

'Damn, so if I completely shoot at the outer layer, they won't even react to it.' He cursed silently. If he attempted to shoot wide in the hope that they would dodge there, the wolf was more intelligent and simply ignored the bullet.

Very soon, the wolves were climbing up the hill at a rapid rate, ignoring the drug effect.

These wolves knew the danger was just right ahead of them, so as long as they eliminated the danger, they could just slowly return to their habitat to rest.

"I'm sorry, Feng." Zhao Kai bit his lips when he missed another shot, incapable of deterring or even stopping the rush.

"It's not bad for your first experience already." Right at this time, Xu Feng suddenly said and grabbed Zhao Kai's clothes as he pulled him behind.

With Zhao Kai now pulled behind him, Xu Feng was now facing the aggro.

Unlike the anxiety-filled Zhao Kai, who had never dealt with such a situation, Xu Feng remained calm. He adjusted his glasses, creating a sharp glint as the light caught the lenses.

"Watch carefully how a Healer can also fight," Xu Feng advised, his tone steady and composed.

Taking a step forward, he proceeded to buff himself with a swift incantation.

With the incantation, a faint glow enveloped his body as he dashed forward. His target: the supposed leader of the pack.

Meanwhile, the leader, though disoriented by the drugs, howled ferociously at Xu Feng, baring his fangs and bracing himself for a clash. Its eyes were somewhat unfocused, but it was still burned with a primal rage and determination.

"Keep in mind that most monster attacks have a pattern, and if you can determine them early. You can easily dodge their attack, even if they look threatening." Xu Feng commented, giving more hints to Zhao Kai.

At the same time, he moved with precision and timely dodged an awkward swipe from the leader's massive paw.

Normally, such an attack would be difficult to avoid, but thanks to the drug, its balance was compromised, allowing him a much easier time to calculate.

However, there was no time to relax, given the other wolves joined in with their aggressive attack, pouncing toward Xu Feng without care.

"FENG!"

Zhao Kai called out in panic, trying to fix his gun position to assist in the background. Alas, it was just a pity that some wolves managed to sneak up on him when he was distracted by Xu Feng's actions.

"Get off me!" Zhao Kai clenched his fist and tanked the strike before retaliating. His health points subsequently decreased and he could feel some pain in his lower chest.

The pain tolerance in the Divine World was set on a scale that would not really cause players to feel like they're dying. But it was set enough to make the players feel a small percentage of the actual sensation of the pain if it actually happened in real life.
