When the artillery fire rang out, Xu Nan and Rafal were already hiding in the distance.

Xu Nan clearly saw that the heavy firepower magic cannon of the magic energy tank hit the snake's head solidly!

There was no smoke, only gorgeous colorful bursts, and then there was a huge sound and waves.

The rolling air wave lifted up several people who fled next to him, and the person closest was directly lifted to the ceiling and fell down hard, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The terrifying power of the Magic Energy Tank is truly staggering.

However, what was even more surprising was that after suffering such a magic cannonball, the almost devastated snake head was still moving.

Xu Nan saw that most of the snake's head had been blown up, and even nerves could be seen in the wounds, and there was blurred flesh and blood everywhere, and large scales were sprinkled on the ground, accompanied by blood, and a violent fishy smell came to his nose.

"So fierce?" Xu Nan lost an identification technique from afar.

The head of the snake was badly damaged, and did not continue to chase after it, but dragged the half-crippled head slowly into the darkness.

It didn't take long for it to disappear from everyone's eyes.

In the Paradise Lost system, information about this creature is also given.

[Hydra Snake]!

Divinity Creature Template!

When he saw the words divine creature, Xu Nan understood that this thing was not so easy to kill.

Divine creatures usually have very high immunity, and the base values of their templates can make normal creatures jealous enough to explode.

That is, Qin Lele drove a magic tank and used a magic cannon.

Replaced with ordinary spells, hitting the head of the multi-headed snake without a splash, a wave of spells torrented down, basically MISS (missed). Legendary spells would be a little better, but it's also hard to sanction this creature.

Melee classes have a chance to break armor, but they also face a lot of risk.

No divine creature is something that ordinary adventuring squads can challenge!

The internal database suggests that the serpent possesses the divinity of a frost giant.

In this case, there are only two possibilities.

Or, it's a descendant of the Frost Giant. This possibility exists, after all, the ancient gods are ignorant, and it is possible to have a relationship with any creature, and the frost giant has taken a fancy to snake creatures, and it is normal to give birth to such offspring.

Either that, it was the multi-headed snake that devoured a small portion of the Frost Giant's divinity during its growth period to possess such a trait.

All in all, this guy is very difficult to deal with.

Even if its level is only level 16, it is still far from the legend, and its age is only a youth among divine creatures, and it has not entered its heyday!

"This guy is called a multi-headed snake, meaning there is more than one head?"

"Just appeared, just a head?"

Xu Nan couldn't help but feel a little worried. He's actually quite afraid of snakes...... Ahh He was actually afraid of the hard-to-kill nature of divine creatures.

If you don't have a snake nemesis or a divine predator, it will be very troublesome to deal with.

The magic energy tank rubbed forward, and the top cover of the head was pushed open, and Qin Lele jumped out of it.

She clapped her little hands, crossed her waist and said, "How is my shelling?" ”

Xu Nan gave a thumbs up and groaned, "Why don't you just keep moving forward?" Until there is no way out? ”

Qin Lele stuck out his tongue: "There is very little residual energy in it, and besides, there is only one shell in this tank, which is not enjoyable." ”

Xu Nan was a little regretful.

Now it seems that the entire square is covered with magic canvas, and it is a pity to put it here because it is an army of magic tanks left behind by the Arcane Empire's army, and these tanks cannot be carried away in dimensional pockets.

"Any clues?" He asked Qin Lele.

"I found a diary on the tank, the owner of which was supposed to be the tank driver, on which something was written. It seems that the people of the Arcane Empire at that time were developing the ruins of the frost giants, and they encountered a very terrifying basilisk and clashed. That basilisk wiped out a squad of their sorcerers and guards! ”

"That's why they've asked HQ for a Legendary Wizard and a Constructed Legion. These tanks should all be their heavy fire support. The follow-up was not written much, as if they were evacuated in a hurry not long after they were transferred, and when they left, they were in a hurry, and the driver didn't even take the diary with him. ”

"It's been thousands of years, isn't that basilisk dead?" Qin Lele was a little puzzled.

Xu Nan shook his head.

Even if it is a true divine creature, after all, it is not a demigod and cannot live that long. The basilisk they encountered may be the descendants of the basilisk encountered by the Arcane Empire.

According to Qin Lele's diary, a lot of information was sorted out at once.

The equipment area of the institute is indeed where an army is stationed. There is not only a sentinel unit here, but also nineteen magic tanks and more than two hundred lightning spiders. These three alchemy products can be regarded as the standard configuration of the Arcane Empire against monsters in small-scale battles.

These alchemy products are powered by their own energy sources, and keys are required to unlock them.

Excitingly, the driver's diary mentions that in order to prevent repeated transportation in the case of a protracted war, when they arrived, they brought a lot of energy -

This includes the [Super Charged Electrolyte] used by Sentinel 35 and the Lightning Spider, and the [Gray Cicada Stone] consumed by the Magic Energy Tank.

These things are in the warehouse in the northeastern part of the equipment section.

Judging by the retreat of the Arcane Empire, it is very likely that these energies are still preserved! In the way the Arcane Empire preserves energy, these finished energy sources can be preserved for at least 10,000 years.

If Xu Nan can get these energies, then this trip to the Frost Winter Treasure will not come in vain.

After all, the Anonymous City is also short of energy.

The only regret was that the driver didn't explain the source of the key, he only recorded the key of this magic energy tank in his diary, so Qin Lele just tried to drive the tank.

There isn't much energy left.

……

Since the magic energy tank has lost its value, Xu Nan didn't delay much, and the three of them kept walking east, keeping an eye out for potential materials that could be taken away along the way, but unfortunately, there was not much to gain this time.

And those treasure hunters who had just been chased by the multi-headed snake had lost their traces at this moment, and they didn't know where they had fled.

"I know those people just now, they are a well-known small group, about seven or eight people, I don't know how there are only four or five left."

"They are not a good thing, and they are also notorious on the road, just now it was this young lady who saved them, and they didn't say thank you, it must be ill-intentioned."

"I guess they must have been too greedy to provoke that terrible basilisk......"

Rafal was chattering on and on with small reports.

It doesn't look like he has a good relationship with those people.

Xu Nan didn't care too much about the whereabouts of these treasure hunters, he was more concerned about the energy warehouse mentioned in the driver's diary, and why this multi-headed snake appeared here.

The answer was soon revealed.

They made their way through the equipment area and reached the edge of the experimental area.

More than fifteen treasure hunters gathered here.

Xu Nan didn't see Song Ying and Queerras, and it was estimated that they had come in from other entrances. After all, the Arcane Empire's underground research institute is so large, and there is far more than one entrance.

These treasure hunters gathered in groups of three or five, keeping each other vigilant and fearful, but on the surface they looked harmonious, and they had no intention of making a move with each other for the time being.

The reason why they stopped here is simple.

A behemoth stopped on the way to the instrument area and the experimental area.

It was a basilisk with six heads!

Its lower body coiled over a large ventilation duct above the ceiling of the testing area, and the remaining six heads extended out to take on their own forms, resembling a fan as a whole; Some are more lazy and seem to close their eyes to recuperate, while others are very vicious, staring at possible enemies from any angle, and the snake hyacinth is constantly swallowing, sending out dangerous signals.

Xu Nan saw that there was also an almost wilted snake head, most of its head was blown apart, shrunk near its body and shivered, the two heads near it seemed to come over to bite one or two bites, but whenever they moved, the most central head would emit a rapid and angry hissing sound.

Those who were about to move and wanted to eat their own heads immediately bowed their heads.

It seems that even the head of the hydra basilisk is divided into high and low.

There is no doubt that this is the body of the multi-headed snake, because it is entrenched here, directly blocking the road from the equipment area to the experimental area.

The treasure hunters must have tried it before, but the result was that those people were chased by one of the snake heads, and their fate is still unknown. If it weren't for Qin Lele's magic energy tank, those people would have been reduced to the rations of the demon snake.

Xu Nan's face became a little solemn.

The strength of the multi-headed snake is undoubted, and the most troublesome thing is the divinity on its body.

Xu Nan has expertise in spell optimization and many spell strengths, and thinks that the effect of spells is far beyond that of normal mages; But when it comes to fighting divine creatures, often a single immunity can make the caster want to die.

Only when he is fully prepared will he choose to fight such a multi-headed snake.

Otherwise, it is a risky move, which is incompatible with Xu Nan's style.

"Is there any other way?"

He asked Rafal in a low voice.

Rafal thought for a moment and replied honestly: "Yes, the experimental area is actually the central area of the underground research institute, and many areas have entrances, but they are ......."

"It's just that the other entrances are also controlled by divine monsters?" Xu Nan took the initiative to say what Rafal had in mind.

Rafal nodded.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What should we do?" ”

It was at this time that the rest of the treasure hunters noticed the new group. They weren't interested in Rafal, but instead stared at Xu Nan and Qin Lele.

After a while, a treasure hunter came up and proposed, "The three of them are here for the treasure too." ”

"You also saw that basilisk just now, we discussed it and decided to jointly kill it first, and then enter the experimental area to search for treasures according to their abilities."

"Would you like to join?"

He didn't look at Rafal, but just stared at Xu Nan, probably seeing who was the backbone.

Xu Nan glanced at those treasure hunters casually, and suddenly smiled:

"Forget it, we decided to take a detour, I don't have the guts to do such a terrible basilisk."

With that, he turned around and left.

Qin Lele naturally kept up. Rafal was also stunned for a moment, but he still followed Xu Nan and left without hesitation.

The treasure hunter didn't seem to expect this to happen, and stayed where he was for a few seconds.

After a while, he stomped his feet a little unpleasantly, watched Xu Nan's back disappear into the darkness, and then whispered to himself:

"What...... Didn't you make such a big move just now? ”

"Detour? What a fool, by the time you get around, the treasure has already been snatched away. ”

"Rafal is indeed a disgrace to the treasure hunter to mingle with such a person...... It's a pity that a few cannon fodder are missing. ”

He walked away with some regret and went to consult with someone else.

……

"Are we really going to take a detour?" Rafal asked boldly.

Xu Nan glanced at him strangely:

"Of course not."

"Uh......" Rafal wondered.

"That guy didn't really invite us to team up just now, okay?" Qin Lele said in an old-fashioned manner: "Before we came, those three small groups had probably discussed the plan, and now inviting us over is basically just letting us be cannon fodder." ”

"You don't really think they want us a piece of the pie, do you?"

Rafal was completely speechless.

He really doesn't know much about these intrigues.

But for Xu Nan and Qin Lele, this is a clear thing.

At the time of their arrival, the three small groups had already come to an agreement, and in this case, if another outsider entered, it would inevitably weaken their interests, and they would at least have an instinctive displeasure.

But they didn't.

When the treasure hunter came to invite Xu Nan, the rest of the people's attention was on Xu Nan and the others, but their eyes were full of anticipation.

In this case, what they can expect is naturally self-evident.

If you want to fight against monsters of the level of the multi-headed snake, there is never too little cannon fodder.

"And I don't think these people can kill the basilisk."

Xu Nan added: "Although they seem to have reached an agreement, they are still wary of each other in private, and they don't trust each other." ”

Rafal coughed, "For treasure hunters, this is probably the norm. ”

"No, none of that matters."

Xu Nan shrugged: "The point is, it's a divine creature. ”

"I don't think they have what it takes to solve the problem of divinity."

While Rafal was still thinking about divinity, Xu Nan suddenly stopped.

It's here.

Ahead, under the cover of a magic tank, a movable magic door looms.

This was the favorite warehouse entrance during the Arcane Empire's years.

The reason why Xu Nan didn't directly fight against the multi-headed snake was because of this warehouse.

He walked over and found that most of the magical facilities outside the warehouse had come to a standstill.

Only the magic door at the door is still running, and you must enter the correct code to enter.

Xu Nan took half a step back and sighed:

"Two questions."

"First, the code of the Might and Magic."

"Second, how to erase the divinity from that basilisk."

"Will the plan be released?"

He didn't look at Rafal because he knew it was purely superfluous.

Qin Lele thought for a while:

"The second question, I may have a solution."
