# Chapter 16: An Enemy?
The sky grew darker, and bonfires rose within the Redskin Native tribe. A group of natives danced around the fires, singing and celebrating.
The atmosphere among the natives was quite lively, but the umbrella-less man nearby was deeply troubled.
"To think it would end like this. How unwilling (bu gan)."
Though the umbrella-less man faced the fate of being slaughtered, he felt no fear. He had seen scenes ten times more terrifying than this.
"Wulala~."
A native shouted loudly, the flames roasting his cheeks bright red.
Whoosh~
A sharp sound of wind-breaking came, and suddenly half of that native's head flew off. His skull shattered, and his body staggered.
Suddenly attacked, the native looked bewildered, reaching up to touch the red and white substance on his face.
Seeing the blood on his hand, the shot Redskin Native staggered a few more steps before collapsing.
Through the scope of the Spider Empress, Su Xiao witnessed this scene. The optical infrared detection scope (8x, active) had night vision capabilities and came with a built-in silencer, making it perfect for sniping enemies at night.
Moreover, the [Lankai Windbreaker] provided additional bonuses at night.
Equipment Effect 1: Night Mist (Passive) — Reduces the chance of being detected at night, Strength +4, Agility +5.
With the bonuses from various equipment, Su Xiao's current stats were: Strength 49, Agility 50, Stamina 44, Intelligence 42.
With 49 points in Strength, Su Xiao completely ignored the recoil of the Spider Empress.
Against a contractor, the Spider Empress could blow their head off in one shot, but against the Redskin Native, it failed to achieve a clean kill.
The previous shot hadn't completely shattered the Redskin Native's head, only destroying half of it. The native with half its skull blown off was still alive, crawling on the ground.
Su Xiao took out the [Havana Eye] to check the enemy's attributes, which would be a great help in the upcoming battle.
[Comparing both sides' Intelligence attributes... Comparison complete. Our Intelligence is 1.076 times that of the enemy. Obtained 86% of enemy data.]

...
After learning the enemy's data, Su Xiao's eyelids twitched.
Compared to the giant centipede from before, the Redskin Natives were only at the small-fry level, but these small fries were far too strong.
In the basin below, the tribal member fell, and all the Redskin Natives stood up, their eyes scanning the surroundings like hungry wolves. Their first reaction to an ambush was not panic, but to kill the enemy.
With the sniper scope's night vision + silencer + the Lankai Windbreaker's nighttime concealment effect, the Redskin Natives couldn't find Su Xiao in a short time.
Bang.
Su Xiao fired another shot. The natives scanning the area were just sitting ducks.
This time, Su Xiao aimed at the neck. A burst of blood exploded in the basin. The Redskin Native's head could withstand one shot, but its neck couldn't. This shot severed a Redskin Native's neck, sending its head flying into the distance.
"Roar!!"
An angry roar rang out. A Redskin Native's pupils flashed red at the center, and it suddenly turned its head toward Umbrella Brother.
Umbrella Brother was initially overjoyed, but when he noticed a native staring at him, the joy on his face froze.
"Hey, this has nothing to do with me. Listen, you motherf*cker..."
Pfft, a wooden spear pierced through Umbrella Brother's eye socket. The tip of the wooden spear had been burned, slightly carbonized, and sharpened to an extreme degree.
...
The Redskin Native tribe was located in a small basin, surrounded by valleys that blocked the cold wind.
This terrain was a sniper's paradise. The only hiding spots in the basin were wooden tents, but the night vision function allowed Su Xiao to clearly see where the Redskin Natives were.
Bang, bang, bang.
Su Xiao fired three consecutive shots. Three bursts of blood splattered. Two Redskin Natives had their necks severed, and one was hit in the chest.
The Redskin Native hit in the chest didn't die. Although its ribs were exposed, it seemed unharmed.
Such physical toughness and survivability were terrifying. Su Xiao would need to pay a price to deal with these natives.
Bang, bang, bang...
Su Xiao began firing recklessly, not because he wanted to expose himself, but because the Redskin Natives had already scattered and were charging up the basin.
These Redskin Natives wouldn't just passively take a beating. After the initial confusion, they had already determined the approximate location of the enemy.
Bang, bang, click, click.
The bullets ran out. Su Xiao took out a spare magazine. He had three spare magazines left. With his storage space sealed, once the bullets were gone, the Spider Empress would be nothing but scrap metal in this trial.
Swapping the magazine, Su Xiao pulled the bolt and chambered a round.
He didn't continue firing. The natives had already charged up the basin. Firing now would be too risky.
The Redskin Natives shouted and yelled as they charged up the slope. It was already 8 PM. Under the hazy moonlight, the natives couldn't find where Su Xiao was.
These natives had a habit of lighting fires at night, not just for cooking. They usually gathered around the fire, which meant they didn't have night vision. That's why Su Xiao had been firing.
Fighting an enemy with night vision at night was suicide.
Through the Spider Empress's scope, Su Xiao saw two natives running around on a nearby slope.
With his perception blocked, having a night vision device was best. There was one in his storage space, but he couldn't take it out, so it was useless.
"Bubu?"
Su Xiao was looking for Bubu Wang's location.
A pair of sparkling eyes suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiao. In this pitch-black darkness, Su Xiao was startled.
He handed the Spider Empress to Bubu Wang for safekeeping and began approaching the two Redskin Natives not far away.
Under the moonlight, Su Xiao could only vaguely see the two. He slowly approached behind them.
The two natives held torches, occasionally letting out a loud shout. The sudden attack had made them very angry.
A pale blue blade light flashed, and the sound of the blade cutting through flesh and skin came.
Although the Redskin Native's body was very tough, the Dragon-Slaying Flash's sharpness of 9 points could completely counter this, especially since Su Xiao's Strength attribute was a full 49 points.
Pfft, blood splattered onto the face of the nearby Redskin Native.
One slash severed the neck, but Su Xiao's brow furrowed.
When the Dragon-Slaying Flash cut through the Redskin Native's neck, it felt like cutting through a thick piece of rubber, barely managing to sever it.
Feeling the warmth and stench on its face, that Redskin Native instinctively wanted to shout, but it couldn't find Su Xiao's exact location.
Pfft, another slash severed the neck. Su Xiao flicked the blood off the Dragon-Slaying Flash and quickly retreated.
[Your talent 'Soul Devourer' has activated. Permanently increased Mana by 15 points. Current Mana: 1078 points.]
[Your talent 'Soul Devourer' has activated. Permanently increased Mana by 15 points. Current Mana: 1093 points.]
Every time he killed a Redskin Native, the Soul Devourer talent could devour 15 Mana points. Unfortunately, no treasure chest dropped, and no World Source was obtained.
The two Redskin Natives were just an insignificant part of this world. Killing them wouldn't yield World Source.
Gaining 30 Mana points wasn't bad either. What Su Xiao wanted was food and fresh water, and of course, a treasure chest would be even better.
Each native provided 15 Mana points. If he killed all the Redskin Natives, the Soul Devourer could be fully saturated.
Dozens of Redskin Natives wouldn't be easy to deal with. If it were daytime, Su Xiao would turn and flee. At night, he still had some chance.
Just as Su Xiao was about to continue searching for natives, a sound of wind-breaking came from behind him.
A wooden spear thrust toward him. Su Xiao dodged instinctively.
The wooden spear grazed his shoulder, leaving a trail of blood.
Reversing the Dragon-Slashing Flash in his hand, Su Xiao stabbed it toward the Redskin Native behind him.
Pfft, the Dragon-Slashing Flash pierced through the Redskin Native's chest, but it didn't care at all. The pain from the Azure Steel Shadow was completely ignored by it. This creature seemed to have no sense of pain.
Crack.
The Redskin Native's neck suddenly burst into a cloud of blood. Su Xiao's entire body went ice-cold, and he instinctively threw himself to the ground.
There was another contractor, and a sniper at that. The opponent's sniper rifle had a silencer!
Su Xiao lay on the ground for a while. No bullets came. Su Xiao was puzzled.
Several dozen meters away, Bubu Wang had one front paw holding the Spider Empress's barrel, the other front paw on the trigger, and one big, watery eye observing Su Xiao lying on the ground through the scope.
Bubu Wang was confused. Why had its master lain down? He wasn't injured either.
The stock of the Spider Empress was pressed against Bubu Wang's chest. The shot that had nearly scared Su Xiao to death was fired by Bubu Wang.
Bubu Wang was manipulating the Spider Empress propped on the ground. A strong sense of imagery appeared. The Spider Empress was too simple to use, and Bubu Wang had learned by watching and listening.
Bubu Wang had learned to use a gun. This was no longer something a slipper could punish.
Today's update might be a bit late.
A friend got married. I had some drinks at noon. I came back in the afternoon feeling dizzy. I wasn't in good shape, so I didn't write. After sleeping for two hours, I felt much better. I'm writing now. The latest update will be at 9 PM at the latest.
