Chapter 59: The Serpent Grows Out of the Ground
The closer to sunrise, the darker it became, and the pace of the five people in the storm became slower and slower. There was silence all around, even the sound of water droplets dripping disappeared, there was not a trace of wind, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone couldn't breathe, only the flashlights on everyone's bodies glowed, swaying as they progressed.
Gradually, the herringbone fork in the road was visible, and near the fork, a puddle much larger than the surrounding area came into view.
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
"Go"
With the countdown of the turmoil, when the word "run" came out, the five of them worked together, Dong Feng and Wu Wei were in front, Feng and Xiaoting were in the middle, and Wei Yi was broken.
With the acceleration of the five people, like a boulder thrown into the calm water, it immediately became turbulent, and a string of bubbles suddenly appeared in the nearby puddle, and the wind wave and several people had not run a few steps before they heard the sound of breaking water, and the ground snake also appeared in the eyes of the wind wave for the first time.
"Be careful!" Finally, the first ground snake showed its head, but the speed was too fast, and the storm only felt a gray shadow flash, crashing into the place where Wu Wei was standing, but Wu Wei had already jumped backwards before being attacked, and did not suffer any damage.
One hit missed, the ground snake immediately began to retreat to its own cave, but compared to the speed of the attack, the action at this time was simply like a snail, and Fengbo and the others finally saw the appearance of the ground snake, the whole body is gray, with fine scales, the eyes have degenerated, unlike ordinary snakes, in its mouth, the lower jaw does not have any teeth, and the upper jaw is lined with two rows of eight sharp fangs, like a sickle, even if the mouth is closed, several huge teeth are exposed, the attack method of the two earth snakes is to first rush out of the water vertically, according to the distance between their hole and the prey, control the length of the body sticking out of the cave, and then the whole body shoots straight down, slapping the prey with huge teeth.
Seeing that the speed of the earth snake retracting into the cave was so clumsy, Wu Wu immediately wanted to fight back, but before he could make a move, three consecutive sounds of water sounded in a row, and then he saw three gray shadows attacking Wu Wei and Dong Feng respectively. The two had to dodge.
"Hurry up, don't worry about the earth snakes after the attack, the most important thing now is to get out of here. "The storm saw more and more puddles begin to bubble, and I have to warn everyone.
Hearing the hint of the turmoil, Wu Wei and Dong Feng no longer cared about the ground snake that slowly retracted into the cave around them, but bypassed, and then rushed to the fork in the road without looking back. The three of them followed, and at the same time they were on guard, because in the puddle behind them, bubbles also appeared.
As soon as a few people ran a few steps, another ground snake broke through the water, and this time there were as many as seven at the same time, four from the front, and three from the back.
Since several people were running with all their might at this time, it was impossible to avoid them completely, so they could only attack. In the face of the attacking ground snake, Wu Wei just glanced at it, and then, he saw that the body of the ground snake was sticking out of the water, and he hadn't taken a picture yet, but beside him, the two figures flashed away, and then he saw that the two ground snakes were like being kicked by someone's waist, and they slapped to both sides, and they didn't attack Fengbo and the others at all.
Dong Feng's response was even more bizarre, only to see one of them bow, and then his fists struck out towards the front and upward, and the attacking ground snake had only its body left, and the two snake heads had already flown into the air, and at the necks of the two earth snakes, it was as if they had been neatly cut off with sharp blades, which were very smooth.
The three ground snakes in the back were blocked by Wei Yi, on his two arms, there was a rectangular shield, when the ground snake attacked, he just put his arms together, and the ground snake just struck on the shield, and there was only one ground snake, and the other two were slapped on the ground on both sides. For the strength of a ground snake, it was obviously still within Wei Yi's tolerance, but he just took a step back, unloaded part of his strength, and withstood it unharmed, and then quickly caught up with everyone.
The five of them kept in formation and marched all the way, and finally, they came to the area where the snake king was.
Looking at the puddles that are lined up here, or it is more appropriate to call them puddles anymore, but pools, everyone knows that the most dangerous moment is coming. This is obviously the place with the largest number of earth snake tribes in the entire population, and looking at the dense puddles around it, you can know that there is definitely more to deal with here than just one or two earth snakes.
"Be careful, this is already the central area, and the area with the largest number of ground snakes here, as long as we pass through here, we should be able to enter the depths. Feng Bo reminded everyone with a solemn face.
"Everyone be careful, according to the previous situation, the closer you get to this central area, the larger the size of the ground snake, the faster it is, and the more powerful it increases. Dong Feng also said what he found, because he shot the whole process, and naturally he knew more about the situation of the ground snake he encountered along the way.
"Don't get entangled, get through here as soon as possible, focus on dodging, if it is not necessary, don't resist hard, so as not to delay the speed. Hearing Dong Feng's speculation, Fengbo pondered for a while and said, and then instructed Wu Wei: "Wu Wei, you are responsible for clearing the obstacles that must be cleared on the road for a while, Dong Feng assists Wu Wei and cleans up what Wu Wei missed, Wei Yi, you and I pay attention to the Snake King, Xiaoting, you are responsible for vigilance, and remind everyone immediately if you find an emergency." ”
As soon as the words of the storm fell, the five of them accelerated together, wanting to pass here as soon as possible. And these ground snakes obviously don't want to let go of these prey so easily, just like the horn of launching a general attack, the sound of breaking water continues to sound, and one by one the ground snakes continue to attack, so that although everyone's speed has increased to the maximum, the speed of advancing has decreased, all in order to avoid the continuous attacks. Moreover, these earth snakes no longer care about their companions, and sometimes even one ground snake will slash into another ground snake that has just finished attacking and wants to retract into the hole, and suddenly it is attacked, and its whole body twists and shrinks into a ball.
And everyone also began to be affected, the ground snake slapped the ground and hit the flying stones, flying around like bullets, everyone was powerless to take care of, they could only resist, but on the body, the body still trembled, and immediately bruised.
"Be careful not to get hit by a rock, or you will be in danger even if you are unconscious for a moment. "The storm began to increase its energy output, forming an energy field to reduce the momentum of the stones.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, Xiao Ting exclaimed.
I saw that the two earth snakes did not rush out of the cave and slap down, but actually rushed diagonally towards Wu Wei and Dong Feng. You must know that although it is very fast to rush out of the cave vertically and then shoot down, there is still plenty of time to react for Fengbo and others, but this kind of ground snake that rushes directly diagonally makes Fengbo five people unable to react, and when they find out, it is too late to dodge, so they can only be hard-connected.
Fortunately, in order to deal with the flying stones, the five people of Fengbo were not too far away, and Fengbo and Wei Yi found that Wu Wei and Dong Feng were in danger, and immediately rushed forward with an arrow, although they didn't have time to resist the two unexpected ground snakes, but they could help resist other ground snakes that took advantage of the situation.
Facing the two ground snakes that rushed straight forward, Wu Wei and Dong Feng both chose to defend, Dong Feng crossed his arms and gathered energy, and Wu Wu didn't know when, suddenly a dagger appeared in his hand, held in his right hand, and the back of the sword was close to his right arm, facing the ground snake on the other side.
Boom, boom, the two impacts occurred at the same time, and then I saw Wu Wei and Dong Feng being knocked backwards and flying backwards together. However, Feng Bo and Wei Yi had already taken over the positions of the two, and casually deflected a few earth snakes that followed.
Suddenly, everyone felt the ground shake, and then, just now they were sleeping peacefully, rippling in circles, like a fierce beast awakening at this time, choosing people to devour.
"Be careful!" Fengbo only had time to shout two words, and saw a giant snake as thick as a bucket, but unlike other ground snakes, this giant snake did not attack immediately, but it was precisely because of this giant snake's lack of attack that the five people of Fengbo were stopped here, because the huge size occupies a huge area, and the attack range of the snake king can completely cover the entire intersection.
With the appearance of the Snake King, the other earth snakes also stopped attacking, and the two sides stopped for the first time since the start of the war, forming a confrontational situation.
"What should I do?" Dong Feng asked, but his attention never left the Snake King for a moment.
"Take a break, don't move first, wait for the snake king to attack, once the snake king attacks, take advantage of the gap in the snake king's attack, and rush over together. Feng Bo replied, "Wei Yi, you don't have to worry about the other earth snakes, you just need to keep an eye on the snake king, Wu Wei, after the snake king attacks, don't let the other earth snakes harass us, Dong Feng and I are responsible for the earth snakes before the snake king's attack, remember, once the earth snake starts to attack, everyone starts to move forward, pass through the right side of the snake king, and no one is left behind." Did you hear me clearly?"
"Understood!" the four of them said in unison.
Hiss~
A not loud, but very piercing hiss sounded, like blowing the horn of a general attack, only to see all the puddles began to bubble, and then, the whole ground began to shake, like ten thousand arrows in unison, it was like a wall was erected in front of Fengbo and others, and then, the entire wall collapsed towards Fengbo and the five people.
Facing the rushing snake array, Dong Feng took a step forward and punched five times in a row, only to see five translucent wind blades slashing forward, just facing the overwhelming snake wall, and then like a sickle slashing through the wheat field, all the ground snakes that were pressed down were all broken into two sections, and they could no longer pose a threat to Feng Bo and others.
Seeing Dong Feng's move, the storm also followed, a ball of energy appeared in each of his hands, and he threw it at each puddle, and after an explosion, the two moving ports were completely sealed, just a few bubbles came out, and then there was no movement at all.
Seeing that it worked, So, Zi Fengbo's hands were like magic, and one by one energy bombs were thrown out one after another, sealing the hole.
Hiss~~
Seeing that his subordinates couldn't keep Feng Bo and the others at all, the Earth Snake King let out an angry roar, and then opened his huge mouth, and a cloud of black mist spewed out.
Feng Bo and the others knew that the Snake King couldn't help but make a move.
