Chapter 931: Gun-wielding Bugmen

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

Sheyan knew very well that there was no such thing as an impregnable defence. Since Jones the Bug King had evolved into a form that rendered him almost immune to energy weapons, it was almost impossible for him to be immune to firearms too, considering that in essence, firearms caused physical damage. Otherwise, this guy would be invincible.

Sheyan's words were a timely reminder for K. It's not that Sheyan was smarter than K, it's just that MIB agents had always relied on energy weapons far more often than firearms, so this was a blind spot in their thought process.

Jones was furious at this moment. He lifted his claw to attack Sheyan again, forcing Sheyan to escape with a roll. However, Jones apparently had been observing Sheyan closely. He already had a certain understanding of Sheyan's dodging habits.

Jones' right foot struck at Sheyan from an impossible angle. After Sheyan was promoted to a Growth Hunter, he had greatly improved in all aspects. Facing this attack, he could still bounce up from the ground and once again narrowly avoided the danger.

Unfortunately, Jones had identified Sheyan as his primary target. While Sheyan was still in the air, Jones' thick scorpion tail wrapped around a huge block of building wreckage which weighed around five hundred kilograms and threw it at Sheyan.

Sheyan saw the block flying towards him at an unbelievable speed from the corner of his eyes. The block contained such a terrifying force that the air turbulence it caused almost made Sheyan suffocate! He cursed in his heart but he couldn't find any way to dodge. He could only shield his body with his arms while bracing for the inevitable impact.

The collision caused severe pain in the front part of his body and sent him crashing into the wall of a barn behind him. The wall instantly shook and collapsed. The inside of the barn was thus revealed. It turned out that the whole barn was filled with disgusting-looking bugs. When Sheyan fell to the ground, the bugs completely drowned him like a brown tide!

Luckily for Sheyan, it was a sunny day so he was protected by 'Corrosynthesis' which surrounded his body. All the bugs which came into contact with his body were burnt. They died in droves.

Sheyan knew there was no time for rest so he pressed his hands to the ground to support himself in an attempt to get back up. His palms instantly crushed down on a large number of bugs which burst in an explosion of disgusting bodily fluids. The fluids smelled so foul that Sheyan almost vomited. Not only that, it also caused his hands to slip!

The slight delay was enough for Jones. He slightly crouched and then violently exerted his strength through his feet. The ground beneath his feet exploded as he leapt more than ten meters into the air. He curled into a ball with eight sharp exoskeleton edges protruding from his body. He rotated at high speed and crashed down on Sheyan!

Jones rotated with such force that he made a low ringing sound as the edges tore through the air. One would find their internal organs shaking as if they were resonating with the sound Jones' rotation made. There was no doubt that this move was meant to terminate Sheyan with extreme prejudice!

However, the sound of a gunshot rang out once again!

No one knew where the shot had originated from, but all the storyline characters somehow had a strange impression that the shot had the taste of blood.

Why did they have such a strange impression? That's because the reverberation of the gunshot was so strong that it crept into their noses through their breaths and made their noses bleed. The blood flowed into their mouths. Thus, the shot naturally felt like it carried the taste of blood!

When the shot sounded, the elliptical gigantic exoskeleton wheel that was Jones immediately exploded, pushing him hard to the side for about two meters. He brushed past Sheyan and slammed into the ground. The violent rotation did not stop. He stirred up hundreds of tons of soil, which flew a few hundred meters in the air before it rained down like a storm.

Such a powerful blow.

Such a powerful Aziz!

Because all the storyline characters had relatively weak physique, the huge tremor cause by Jones' rotation made all of them fall to the ground like they were experiencing an earthquake. But that wasn't the end of it. Even on the ground, the continuous tremor made them shake involuntarily like beans in a sieve. It was unbelievably uncomfortable.

Sheyan reacted quickly. He immediately rolled on the ground and scrambled away from Jones without a care for how pathetic he looked doing it. Jones didn't seem like he could voluntarily end his attack. He saw Sheyan running away but he couldn't do anything before the force of his rotation was exhausted. He could only scream angrily.

The terrifying attack shown by Jones had strengthened the MIB's resolve to exterminate him. When the tremor ended, they immediately aimed at him and opened fire. This time, they were joined by the ground troops from the American Army who escorted them here.

The bullets from this round of firing made a large amount of densely-packed dents appear in Jones' seemingly smooth and hard brown carapace. Jones wailed in anger and agony. A bullet from a rifle actually broke through its carapace and bright green liquid spurted from the wound. Although the wounds on his body closed up in an instant, at least the guns did much better than the energy weapons.

This discovery immediately lifted their spirit. Not many people could use the MIB's energy weapons, but all of them could use firearms! They were all elites from the military after all!

The shooting caused Jones' body to shrink at an alarming rate. In the end, he shrank to a size of about one-and-a-half-man tall and three-man long. He instantly scurried into the barn.

One of the soldiers tried to give chase but a Bugman with stiff movements suddenly appeared with a gun. It pulled the trigger again and again, causing the gun barrel to flash with several tongues of flame. The bullets penetrated into the chest of the soldier who had rushed forward!

The soldier's expression changed from shock to extreme pain in a fraction of a second. He stumbled a few steps backwards and fell to the ground as he died. The whole process was enough block the sight of several other charging soldiers for a few precious seconds.

Those few seconds was enough for the Bugman to ram its body into the solid wall beside it. The wall crashed down amidst scattering dust and dirt. The Bugman had obtained a shooting angle. While it was falling down, it opened fire again. The soldiers were about to raise their guns to fire but was met with bullets to their heads and throats! They were instantly killed!

The Bugmen cultivated by Jones.....had such outstanding shooting ability!??

That was the question echoing in the heart of everyone who was present. Those who were qualified to join this operation were all elite troops, even the escorts. As such, none of them were cowards. They instantly rush forward. However, they were limited by the terrain so only four or five people can face the Bugman at the same time. Two other Bugmen appeared and opened fire. In the exchange, three people were killed while the head of a Bugman exploded.

Common sense backfired on the humans. When the head of the Bugman exploded, the soldier who fired the shot shot simply assumed that the target had been eliminated. Little did he know that the Bugmen's vitality far exceeded his expectation. While he slackened, his own head was blown off!

The soldier next to him was very quick to react.He rolled, righted himself, half kneeled, and aimed at the Bugman. All four actions were performed in one smooth motion. Then, he calmly pulled the trigger.

But the headless Bugman had raised its muzzle first! Right when the bullet in the soldier's gun was about to leave the barrel, a bullet accurately penetrated into the barrel as well. The two bullets collided in the gun in the soldier's hand and a violent explosion occurred!

The soldier's index finger and thumb was blown off. The broken bone inside showed through the wounds. His ankle was also severed by another shot. The soldier rolled and screamed in agony as he held the wound with his bloody hand.

The headless Bugman sneaked back behind a wall to take cover. Although the soldiers who came here were all elites, it only meant that they had undergone elite training. It did not necessarily mean that they were honed through blood and fire! When they saw their comrade collapsing with a serious injury, two of them immediately rushed over to provide aid.

As a result, a Bugman once again appeared, and with that unique stiff motion, it lifted its gun and ended the life of those two brave but naive soldiers! The Bugmen had obviously left a person heavily wounded in order to bait others to help him!

The face of a captain-ranked officer immediately paled. He showed no hesitation in killing the wounded person on the ground with a shot. Then, he rushed forward with his gun without a word. Although he was shot in the chest, the bullet was blocked by the bullet-proof vest he wore. He stumbled back but managed to severe the wrist of a Bugman with three shots. He then signalled to the helicopters to cover the place with gunshots! A burst of indiscriminate shooting covered the scene, followed by the "smoke grenades" which the Bugs hated.

The captain took advantage of the cover provided by the smoke to lead over a dozen soldiers into a building in the outer area of the farm.
