Chapter 235 Gun enthusiast
Keith felt disappointed and saddened as Keyara hadn't returned to the tent all night. He had been eagerly anticipating more fun times with his sister, and her absence left a palpable void in the air.
However, with Kevin by her side, the tent echoed with her passionate moans, and they only succumbed to sleep in the early hours of the morning. When Keith was nearly at the point of passing out from multiple orgasms, Kevin ejaculated inside her, something he didn't usually do as he typically only released Yang Qi, which brought pleasure but not as intensely as ejaculating semen.
Not much occurred in the morning except for Keyara being a bit quieter than usual. They set off early for their destination, and as they journeyed, they traversed another black jungle. Soon, they found themselves traveling through a vast black meadow that Kevin couldn't discern the end of from any direction other than one they entered from, which also was getting lost in black grass.
After cruising for about half an hour, the ride took them past a bunch of those long-horned creatures munching away on the grass. They were quite sizable, standing around four feet tall, some even bigger, stretching about seven feet long. Kevin eyed them through the window and asked, "Are we gonna bag those?"
Benny, chilling beside him and checking out the monsters too, shook his head, "Nah, we're planning to tame 'em instead."
"Yep, that's what I figured," Kevin remarked. They'd been briefed that their vehicle wouldn't cut it in Chernobog's Den due to the thick foliage. The transport options there were either airships or massive ground vehicles, both heavily fortified. Even with thousands of Qi Condensation cultivators, breaching those defenses wouldn't be a cakewalk.
Kari was aboard one of those airships, but they lacked that luxury. Instead, they devised a plan: using monsters as their means of transport into Chernobog's Den. The chosen monster for this venture was the Horned Bira, exclusive to the den and known for being easily tamed, having high stamina, and being omnivorous, although their preferred meal was the black grass they were currently munching on.
"Are we nabbing them right away, then?" Stuart inquired, eyeing the grey-skinned creatures, their hides looking rather plush, with a perfectly curved surface atop that seemed tailor-made for a saddle.
"Too much hassle, dude. Just wait to get on higher ground," Benny said, leaving Stuart and Kevin a bit perplexed. Stuart was a newbie, not used to missions with such powerful people, and Kevin, being on his third mission, was still a noob compared to the rest.
They were about to ask for more info, but the armored car soon stopped atop a high hill. Robert, their driver for the day, chimed in, "Let's find ourselves some fine steeds, people."
Everyone exited the car geared up for battle, ready for any monster or person that might come their way. Clad in armor and armed to the teeth, they stood prepared. As Kevin stepped out, he noticed Ken and Zaria retrieving a long metal briefcase from their rings. Curious, he approached Zaria, who was nearest to him, and inquired, "What's that, Miss Zaria?"
Zaria's feline-like eyes shimmered with excitement as she popped open the briefcase. Revealing its contents, she proudly exclaimed, "This beauty right here is the Lian G5. You won't find a smoother shooter in this neck of the woods, I guarantee it."
A bit farther away, Ken was seated, casually inspecting his rifle. As Zaria enthusiastically began discussing the gun, he shook his head, smiling. "There she goes again."
Arya, standing nearby, observed her friend and commented in a teasing tone, "That cat-like bitch loves only two things in this world—guns and boy toys, just like you..." Her gaze drifted toward Kevin, listening in on Zaria's detailed explanations
Ken chuckled at Arya's jest. "That Kevin guy ain't like me. I stick to one or two women at a time, but that boy, he's been in more holes than I ever did in my mid-twenties, and he's just 21 or 22, I reckon."
"Oh, really?" Arya was surprised, not aware of the black-haired boy's popularity among the ladies. "How do you know?"
"You know Dina's niece, who works at the cultivation association, right?" Ken asked, assembling his rifle, which looked more like it was made of crystal than metal.
"Yeah, what about her?" Arya asked, with intrigue.
"Well, she's been a pain in the ass for Dina a while, so she put a spy on her. Turns out, she's been getting cozy with a guy. Want to take a guess who it is?" Ken said, sporting a smirk.
Arya seemed taken aback, asking with an air of drama, "It's him?"
Ken nodded affirmatively, wearing a smile. Meanwhile, Arya shot an amused glance at Kevin, who was engrossed in listening to Zaria.
Zaria, on the other hand, was in the midst of her gun spiel. Her firearm boasted a unique dark green and blue hue, its shiny appearance catching the eye. For Kevin, being relatively new to all this, he only knew that pulling the trigger simply meant the bullet was fired, but now when asked Zaria about the contents of her briefcase, he had got to know more than that.
Kevin had learned nearly every inch of the rifle she was putting together, yet Zaria kept on explaining its features and functions. "See those sleek lines? It's like the Ferrari of sniper rifles. The ergonomic design, the balance—it's like an extension of your arm.?And the scope? Crystal clear optics, made from top-grade ice crystals. You could spot a deer from a mile away with these lenses, metaphorically speaking, of course."
Kevin nodded, despite never having touched a gun in his life. Her simple explanation had sparked a sudden interest in him. Well, the main reason was that they looked cool—too cool to not know about them. Plus, the way Zaria was explaining it all, she looked like a total pro despite her cute appearance. With the same enthusiastic expression, he asked, "That's incredible. What about the technical stuff?"
