Chapter Thirty-Eight: A New Ability

Most of the mutant python's body was hidden in the darkness of the cavern, with only a small neck covered in fine scales, and a slightly diamond-shaped head covered in a column of searchlight.

The poor fat man was already frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster in front of him, and his legs trembled, and he looked straight at the head of the snake that was raised high and kept coming towards his head, and he forgot to turn and run away. Even the shouting was gone, and only a pungent smell of urine quickly spread.

Panis's entire body has been bent into a bow, she still holds the sharp titanium dagger in her right hand, and in her left hand, she tightly holds a high-explosive **.

She wasn't sure if this powerful ** would blow up the entire tunnel while killing the mutant giant snake, so she still hadn't thought about how to use it reasonably.

In terms of control over the situation, Panis is inferior to Lo.

Panis's new ability would be greatly limited in the current twists and turns of the small intestines, but that doesn't mean it's useless. Of course, it depends on how and when to use it.

What would Lowe do if he faced such a situation?

Paniss began to think quickly.

The spitting snake letter kept licking the bloodless old face of the short and fat maintenance personnel, the pointed snake head retreated slightly, and the snake's mouth had opened to an incredible extent.

There is no quick bite like a snake attacking its prey, and it is repelled with a single blow. This huge poisonous snake, like its close relative, the python, covered its mouth little by little from the top of the prey's head, and actually swallowed the prey weighing more than 100 kilograms into its stomach little by little.

And its prey still stood there dumbfounded, its body starting from the head and gradually disappearing into the mouth of the snake.

The moment the mutant serpent swallowed its prey completely, Panis moved.

Like a nimble bobcat, Panis rushed towards the snake's head, which was slightly sluggish from swallowing its prey, and she wanted to let it ignore herself and swallow the cold-blooded reptile of her protector in front of Panis.

Of course, the way she expressed her fiery enthusiasm was the small high-explosive ** in her left hand.

By the time the poor stocky maintenance man was left with his last toes outside the snake's mouth, Panis was standing beneath the snake's head. She hung the ** that had been set to delay the detonation on the toes of her disappearing toes, and then even had time to reach out and pull her slightly messy long hair back to her head, before the huge snake tail swept away, and quickly flashed back.

Her quick dodge not only avoided the sweep of the huge snake tail, but even moved more than ten meters directly, appearing at the corner of the passage out of thin air, and when she passed by another maintenance personnel, she didn't forget to bring the other party with her.

A quick move that doesn't require acceleration and run-up, and a full dozen meters!

This is a new ability that Panis gets after unlocking the sixth pair of genetic sequences, Space Shift.

If it weren't for the limitations of the terrain, on the empty wilderness, Panis could even instantly move a distance of more than fifty meters, which was also the current limit distance of the sixth-order ability Panis.

It's an ability that can grow, and as Panis unlocks more genetic sequences, she moves farther and farther away.

Panis seems to have learned some of the ways in which Lo can handle the other party in the simplest way and never fight hard.

Snakes, especially those that are accustomed to devouring prey raw, have a very special structure in their esophagus, and they have rows of bony barbs in their esophagus to prevent the swallowed prey from slipping out of the mouth again.

In other words, in a short period of time, it is impossible for this snake to spit out the maintenance personnel who are hanging on the ** at least before the explosion of the high-explosive **.

And the python's most powerful means of killing, the body entanglement and the sweep of the snake's tail, it is impossible to have a chance to use Panis, who has the ability to move in space.

But Panis still had a faint worry in her heart, and this worry made her finally whisper a question to the obviously frightened maintenance person in front of her.

"Don't tell me you can't fix the broken line yourself without the help of a partner! If you don't know how to answer me, I don't mind if you go talk to your companion in the snake's belly first. ”

The old man was obviously much calmer than his companion, at least not to the point of incontinence. His face flushed, and he muttered and whispered for a long time, before finally looking up and replying to Panis, who was still staring at him.

"Of course, honorable mercenary, I assure you by my great profession that I am a qualified circuit repairman!"

After waiting for half an hour, Panis continued to explore the depths of the tunnel with the great circuit repairman. Perhaps it was the breath of the giant serpent that frightened the other mutated creatures in the area, but the rest of the journey didn't happen with any major accidents.

But Panis searched all the way, but did not find the body of the snake, it seemed to have disappeared, and even the high-explosive ** explosion was not heard.

Panis wasn't going to waste any more brain cells on the snake, she had already brought the circuit repairman arranged by the tavern owner to the designated location, and the other party had already started intense work, and that was enough.

He was so qualified circuit repairer that when he got to work, he seemed to forget that he was still in a perilous underground pipe. He straightened out the messy cables stained with dust and slime and measured them with the instrument he had with him, while complaining loudly as if no one was around.

"Damn it, working so carelessly is a blasphemy of the great profession of a maintenance worker, and this hateful peer should have starved to death in the wilderness for not getting a new job!"

Panis didn't bother with the somewhat neurotic elderly mechanic, and didn't plan to discuss with him what kind of work ethic a circuit mechanic should have.

Her mission wasn't over yet, and she had to wait until the electrical circuits were repaired and the bearded tavern was powered back.

As for whether or not to bring the repairman back, the tavern owner did not explain, and it was not part of her task.

Panis's kindness was on full display at this time, and she finally planned to take the old man out of this tunnel filled with a fishy stench and another special smell.

Wrong!

Where does this special aura come from?

Panis confirmed that she was right, and that she did smell a special smell, the disgusting smell that remains after mating between male and female animals.

The smell was not strong, and even those who were faint to the sixth order needed to search carefully to discover its source.

The maintenance workers were busy with countless wires that crept through the tunnels and stretched farther into the darkness. And this faint obscene aura spread from the darkness in the distance.

"What's in there, great circuit repairman?"

Paniss pointed to a small white tin box in the distance and asked the elderly maintenance worker, who was still busy with his head down.

The maintenance worker is still busy with his head down, and the tragic death of his partner has left him with two people to work at the same time, which is definitely a test for his aging body. But he wasn't discouraged, and was even a little happy, so he was in the mood to look at the rusty gray-white tin box that Panis pointed to, and lazily replied.

"Those are the toolboxes, you know, there's enough cables here, and there's a high probability that something will fail, so somebody puts the tools in those boxes to avoid the hassle of carrying them back and forth. But unlike them, I'm only used to using my own tools. ”

He appears to have completed most of the repair work and is beginning to perform the final tests.

"Actually, there is another purpose for these hateful chests, and of course, this new use was not available in the old days."

The old man was old enough that he knew quite a bit about the old times, or at least about the old ones, and about the circuit repairs of the old days.

"Since the beginning of the new era, the mortality rate in our line of work has also increased dramatically. After all, as you can see in our workplaces, it's not so bright, and darkness often brings death. ”

The old man began to pack up his tools.

"Line maintenance is generally two people, on the one hand, for more efficient work. On the other hand, it is also in case if one dies, the other can throw the body through the small window in these boxes into the sewer next door, so as to prevent the virus from decaying or becoming food for other creatures. After all, we'll have to come next time! ”

Panis didn't fully understand the old man's words, but she understood at least two things.

The passage you are in is with the sewers, and the boxes have holes in them that lead to the sewers.

The giant snake that didn't find the body, and the strange smell that came out of it, had something to do with the sewer?

Panis pondered for a moment, then finally walked over to the tin box, which was already covered in rust and mildew, opened the door, and leaned her face into the barely drillable hole in the box.

She saw it.

"Your Excellency the beautiful mercenary, my work is done, old Bob's tavern should be brightly lit, we might as well go back as soon as possible instead of staying in this hellish place, you say?"

The old circuit repairman was standing there, waiting for Panis. Without Panis, he couldn't have been sure that he would make it out of this dark passage alive.
