After the shield snake swallowed a native, it was still not full. So the strange eyes on the giant snake's head turned to another native who was still struggling on the ground, and the armored snake stretched and retracted its tip, and immediately swam towards the survivor. When the giant snake passed the bonfire, it ran over Zero's rucksack.
It was like being run over by a truck. Even if he didn't check it, Ling knew that most of the food and water inside would have to be reimbursed. Yiling's indifference couldn't help but change color at this time, it was the material they depended on for their survival across the Death God Ridge, and they just confessed it all at once.
Colt immediately panned, turning from the aborigine to the shield snake, and there were flames jumping in Zero's eyes.
The giant snake swam to the side of the indigenous people, and the front half of the snake's body immediately lifted up. It opened its jaws wide and bit the native.
The aborigine was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he only knew how to yell.
Suddenly, the head of the armored snake swung violently, as if it was hit by something, the snake's mouth deviated from the original track, and slammed fiercely on the ground next to the aborigine. The giant snake dug away a large piece of soil, and the distance between the huge snake's head and the aborigine was less than a meter. The aborigine was shaking all the time, and he didn't even hear the gunshots that sounded not far away.
A bullet hole the size of a thumb appeared on the back of the shield snake's skull, and a pool of light green snake blood was left from the bullet hole. However, when Zero thought it was bound to die, the giant snake's closed eyes suddenly opened, and then let out an angry hiss and rose up again. Only this time, anger overwhelmed the snake's hunger. It turned to look at the source of the gunfire.
The three snake pupils shone with a faint blue light, although they were far away from Zero, Zero felt cold all over. Immediately he knew that he had been targeted by the giant snake.
Sure enough, the next moment, the shield snake flew towards Zero like flying. The body of the angry giant snake scraped the ground, countless gravels were crushed and white smoke was raised, and a smoke dragon was blown behind the shield snake.
The giant snake was approaching menacingly, and Zero Jie untied Colt and stuffed it directly into Moni's arms, then rushed out from the hiding place and greeted the giant snake without dodging.
When the distance between the two was ten meters, Zero jumped away, looking like he was sending himself into the mouth of the giant snake. Seeing the shield snake opening its mouth wide and biting Zero, Mo Ni couldn't help screaming.
In mid-air, Zero's figure flickered slightly. Even though the figure was still lingering in the air, another figure slanted towards the ground. Two figures, two zeros, and the three eyes of the armored snake kept turning, but they couldn't tell the truth from the fake. The giant snake has limited intelligence, and now it is burning with anger, so it doesn't care so much. The armored snake's tail slammed into the ground, and the whole giant snake accelerated towards Zero in the air.
However, when the giant snake's mouth closed, it clearly bit zero, but the shield snake's feeling told it that what it bit was only air!
Immediately after that, a series of violent shocks came from the abdomen, as well as rough gunshots.
Naturally, the Shield Snake wouldn't know, it was a skill created by Zero's fifth-level agility—Phantom Incarnation!
It was an afterimage created by Zero when the speed reached a certain level. Afterimage has the characteristics of zero body temperature and energy, which can achieve the effect of disturbing the opponent's sight. Just like this armored snake, it chose to attack Zero's afterimage when it couldn't distinguish between real and fake, and the result was that Zero flew to the ground. While sliding across the ground with the momentum of the momentum, the two M500s in his hands also fired at the relatively fragile abdomen of the shield snake at the same time.
Since the abdomen was not protected by a hard shield, under the shooting of the two large-caliber revolvers in Zero's hands, the body of the giant snake blossomed, and the smelly snake blood sprayed Zero's face.
The two staggered on the ground and in mid-air.
Zero slid out another three meters, bounced off the ground with the strength of his waist, and turned his body to face the giant snake while maintaining a half-squat posture. He swung his hands quickly behind his waist, and a long black square box was hung on his waist. It was an automatic loader bought in Phoenix City. There was a loading slot on each side. When the shrapnel in the loading slot was pressed, the smart chip of the loader would load the bullets prepared earlier in the morning through subtle manipulation. into the pistol.
Because of the different firearms, the model of the loader is also different. The gun is like a spare, so it must also be a matching loader.
The loader works almost as soon as the gun is pressed into the loading slot. Under the control of the smart chip, first, a robotic arm on each side pulls out the magazine drum on the gun, followed by the work of removing the cartridge case and loading a new cartridge. The entire program is completed in less than 1 second, which reflects the crystallization of the technology of the new era that integrates various technologies of machinery, electronics and microcomputer.
At the same time that the zero revolver finished reloading, the armored viper that landed was still alive. Despite being driven by more than 3,000 joules of kinetic energy, the M500's special warhead penetrated into the giant snake's body, destroying its soft tissues along the way. But compared to the size of the giant snake, even the .50 warhead can cause extremely limited damage to the giant snake if it cannot directly hit the vitals.
Moreover, the shield snake's special snake-like muscle structure allows it to automatically contract the muscles the moment the bullet enters the body, clamping the bullet to avoid causing greater damage. And once the battle is over, the shield snake can even squeeze the bullets embedded in the body out of the body through flexible muscle movements. Not all mutant beasts have this ability.
But now, it is far from the time to end the battle. So the shield snake didn't have time to pay attention to the bullets in its body, and after circling on the ground, it rushed toward zero desperately.
Zero turned and ran, followed by the giant snake. One person and one snake rushed across the large grassland, and countless mutated bushes were directly crushed to death by the giant snake.
He ran straight towards a man-eating tree, but Zero's speed far exceeded the reaction of the man-eating tree. When this huge mutated tree with a height of more than ten meters was about to pull out its deadly fibrous roots from the ground, Zero had already stepped on it, and then rebounded with force. As for the shield snake, it hit the man-eating tree directly. This impact was heavy enough to make the man-eating tree lean back.
Zero adjusted his posture in mid-air, shaking his wrists continuously, and dumped the bullets in the gun. But this time the bullet hit the shield snake's thick armor, and the effect was far worse than that round just now. The bullet exploded a series of sparks on the big snake's body, but it didn't even splash a drop of blood.
While the giant snake was suffering from pain, the big tail instinctively swept towards Zero in mid-air.
Ling couldn't dodge in mid-air, so he had to put his hands together on his chest to block the shield snake's blow.
The moment he was hit by the tail of the snake, Zero borrowed his strength and fell to the ground, and after several consecutive rolls, he guided the huge force of the shield snake away from his body. But Zero's hands were numb and painful. If he hadn't possessed the ability of second-level defense, the arm bone would have to be severed by the giant snake now.
The muscles on his back suddenly exerted force, and Zero bounced off the ground. As soon as he adjusted his posture, he heard Mo Ni scream.
"Be careful, Zero!"
The fishy wind rushed towards his face, and in Zero's eyes, it reflected the ferocious appearance of the shield snake shaking its head and biting.
Time had already passed for Ling to dodge, Ling's body bounced up slightly, his legs were separated, but he stepped on the upper and lower jaws of the shield snake one by one. Zero suddenly exerted force to open the giant snake's mouth so that it could not be closed. The shield snake became very fierce, and just like this, it headed towards the black and crushed row of man-eating trees.
Ling supported the snake's mouth with his legs, and fired with two guns in his hand. Rough gunshots continued to ring out, and the bullets shot directly into the snake's mouth, breaking the slender tongue in an instant. The painful shield snake wanted to swallow zero in one gulp, but the mouth couldn't be closed when the legs were separated. The shield snake had no choice but to accelerate forward, intending to kill Ling on the man-eating tree.
Seeing that it was about to collide with a man-eating tree from behind, the armored snake was comparable to the speed of a truck driving at full speed, and the collision would even destroy the armor of the chariot. Zero asked himself that he was not as strong as a chariot, but he didn't dare to make fun of his body. *Quickly returned to the holster on his waist, a fragment* fell into Zero's hands.
*The moment Zero was thrown into the snake's mouth, he pushed hard on his feet, and the person popped out with force. It fell to the ground at a speed faster than the giant snake, and then suddenly rolled away to the side. At this time, the shield snake crashed into the man-eating tree with a shocking effect, immediately crushing four or five big trees. In the end, a muffled sound resounded in the giant snake's body. The giant snake's body expanded rapidly, and then burst open suddenly.
A large pot of snake blood was sprinkled all over the ground with flesh and bones. When these things hit the ground, both weeds and bushes frantically gathered. The mutated plants quickly absorbed the fresh snake blood and meat scraps on the ground in their own ways. As for the nearby man-eating tree, its fibrous roots protruded from the ground, directly piercing into the body of the shield snake.
The shield snake whose body was almost blown off couldn't stop the man-eating tree's attack at all, and could only helplessly watch these demons use their fibrous roots to continuously suck the flesh and tissues in its body.
On Death Mountain, the cycle of life and death takes place day and night, and the roles of hunter and prey can be interchanged at any time. Ling was glad that he did not become a prey, he stood up, his hands and shoulders were slightly injured. But it was because of the relatively close distance just now, when the armored snake was exploded, *a few fragments flew out along with the snake's blood, just passing by Zero's side.
But it was only a minor injury, and Zero pulled out the fragments without frowning. As for a wound of this degree, for Zero, it can heal tomorrow.
Seeing that the giant snake's corpse was about to be divided up by man-eating trees and other mutant plants in an instant, Zero had no time to mourn for it. He went back to the fire and picked up his rucksack. Sure enough, nine out of ten of the food inside had been destroyed. Bread and the like are only deformed and can be eaten, but the nutrient coat that Zero equips himself is broken, and the liquid flows all over the ground, making it impossible to eat.
The most critical clean water even wetted the entire rucksack because of the broken vessel. Even if Zero immediately wringed out the water from the rucksack, it would not be enough for the two of them for a day.
He shook his head, picked out the edible bread inside, and walked towards the surviving native.
Since these primitive people living in the jungle can survive to this day, it shows that they have edible water sources. If Zero wants to continue walking, one is to find an edible water source from Death Ridge; the other is to turn back to Phoenix City to buy supplies again. But the second method is obviously not feasible. Except for the Parkland killer who doesn't know where to hide, Zero doesn't have enough clean water to sustain the two of them for five days.
So the rest, only the first method. That is to get clean water from the indigenous people.
And this is also the real reason why he shot the giant snake and saved the native instead.
