Chapter 127 - snake figh (2/2)
However, it was still far from the end of the battle. As a result, the shield snake did not have the time to pay attention to the bullets in its body. After circling the ground once, it rushed towards Zero without a care for its life.
Zero turned and ran, closely chasing after the giant snake. A man and a snake dashed across a large patch of grass. Countless mutated bushes were crushed by the huge snake.
He sprinted straight towards a man-eating tree, but the speed at which he was running was far faster than the man-eating tree's reaction speed. When the ten-meter-tall mutated tree was about to pull out its life-reaping roots, Zero stepped on it and bounced back. As for the shield snake, it directly collided with the man-eating tree. This collision weighed at least a thousand jin, and the man-eating tree was pushed backwards.
Zero adjusted his posture in the middle of the air. Both of his wrists shook as he emptied the bullets in the gun. But this time, the bullets that hit the thick armor of the Fighter Snake didn't have the same effect as the previous round. The bullet hit the snake's body and created a series of sparks, but not a single drop of blood came out.
As for the giant serpent, when it felt pain, its large tail instinctively swept towards the empty space in front of it.
Zero, who couldn't dodge in the air, crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the snake's attack.
The moment he was hit by the snake tail, he borrowed the force from it and fell to the ground. He then rolled a few times before absorbing the huge force of the shield and snake away from his body. However, Zero's hands were numb and in pain. If not for his rank 2 defensive abilities, the bones in his arms would have been broken by the giant snake.
The muscles on his back suddenly exerted force and bounced up from the ground. He had just adjusted his position when he heard Monnie scream.
”Be careful, zero!”
A fishy wind assaulted his nose. In Zero's eyes, the ferocious look of the shield serpent as it shook its head and bit at him was reflected.
Time had already passed by. Zero's body bounced up slightly and its legs split apart. It stomped on the serpent's upper and lower jaws, one above and one below. With great force, Zero forced open the mouth of the giant snake, preventing it from closing. With its vicious nature, the shield snake charged straight into the black mass of man-eating trees.
With both legs on the snake's mouth, the two guns in his hands shot out consecutively. The sound of gunshots rang out unceasingly, and the bullet went straight into the snake's mouth, cutting off its long and thin tongue in the blink of an eye. The snake wanted to swallow Zero into its stomach, but its mouth was split open by someone's legs and could not be closed. The Firelizard had no choice but to speed up and charge forward, intending to knock Zero into the man-eating tree.
Just as it was about to hit the man-eating tree at its back, the shield snake's full speed was comparable to the speed of a truck. Even the armor of the tank would be destroyed by this collision. Zero knew that if the chariot wasn't strong, he wouldn't dare to joke about his body. The revolver quickly returned to its holster at his waist. A broken grenade appeared in his hand.
The moment the grenade was thrown into the snake's mouth, he pushed on it with his foot and threw it out. It landed on the ground a sliver faster than the giant snake and then rolled to the side. At this moment, the shield snake crashed into the man-eating tree, immediately crushing four or five other trees. Before long, a muffled sound could be heard from within the snake's body. The huge snake's body expanded rapidly and then suddenly exploded.
A large clump of snake blood mixed with flesh and bone fragments splashed all over the ground. When these objects fell to the ground, regardless of whether it was the grass or the bushes, they all started to madly gather. The mutated plants were quickly absorbing the fresh snake blood and minced meat from the ground. As for the nearby man-eating trees, they extended their roots from the ground and stabbed into the body of the shield snake.
The Shield Armor Snakes, whose bodies were almost destroyed, were unable to stop the man-eating tree's attacks. They could only helplessly watch as these demons used their roots to continuously suck in the flesh and tissue from their bodies.
On Death's Ridge, the characters of Hunters and Hunters could be switched at any time. Glad he hadn't become prey, Zero stood up, a little hurt in his hand and shoulder. However, because it was closer to him, when the snake shield exploded, a few pieces of the grenade flew out along with the snake blood and brushed past him.
However, this was only a small wound. He did not even frown as he pulled out the broken piece. As for a wound of this degree, it would only heal tomorrow for zero.
Looking at the dead body of the giant snake, Zero did not have time to mourn. It was about to be divided between the man-eating tree and the other mutated plants. He walked back to the fire and picked up his rucksack. As expected, the food inside had been destroyed eighty to ninety percent of the time. Bread and the like could only be eaten through metamorphosis, but the nutrients that were used for him were destroyed in his outer garments. The liquid that flowed all over the place was inedible.
The most important part was the clean water. Because of the broken utensils, it made the backpack wet. Even if Zero immediately twisted out the water from his backpack, it wouldn't be enough for two people to use for a day.
He shook his head and picked out the bread that could still be eaten. Then, he walked towards the aboriginals who were still alive.
Since these primitive people who lived in the jungle were able to survive until today, it meant that they had a water source that they could use for food. If he wanted to continue, he would first need to find a edible water source from the Death God Ridge, and secondly, he would need to return to Phoenix City and buy new supplies. However, the second method was obviously not feasible. Apart from the Parkland assassin who was hiding somewhere, Zero did not have enough clean water to sustain them for five days.
Therefore, the only thing left was the first method. That was to get clean water from the natives.
This was the real reason why he had killed the giant snake and saved the aboriginal.
