Chapter 23: The Line Between Life and Death

The leader slew the mysterious old lady with a knife, and the expression on his face was cold and numb, obviously a butcher with blood on his hands.

Because of this last incident, all the poisonous snakes turned to look in the direction where Andy was hiding, and couldn't help but let Andy secretly curse in his heart that the old woman was dead and wanted to trick people.

"Is there anybody?" The leader held the bloodied scimitar, the strange lines carved on it became more eerie as the blood flowed, and the others began to approach in two ways, quietly opening the basket behind them as they went.

Under the cover of darkness, black vipers crawled out of their hiding places and landed silently on the ground.

Enemies found in V mode are marked with a large red dot on the virtual compass, and these red dots are constantly increasing, as the poisonous snakes are leaving their owners.

Seeing that the situation was so unfavorable, Andy held his breath and tried to rely on his stealth ability to fool himself around, but unfortunately he could clearly see through the V-mode interface that those poisonous snakes were preparing to surround themselves with a clear purpose.

Perhaps darkness can obscure one's vision, but it cannot obscure the serpent's senses. The heat and vibrations from Andy's breath and heartbeat seemed to them to be invisible.

The Hecate Hounds, who are well aware of the habits of snakes, follow the snakes closer, and continue to hold on to the luck that Andy will be in a desperate situation.

He took out his retreat and used his V-mode ability to shoot several tear gas canisters at the most dense areas of the enemy, the natives were largely ignorant of this type of weapon, and once hit, they would fall into a long period of confusion, and would collapse on their own without even using their hands.

But this was not the case with these people in front of them, and within a very short time of the tear gas canisters being exploded, they realized that Andy had fired something that could be poisonous.

They immediately took out all kinds of protective equipment, such as special face towels and goggles, and some began to take out strange small bottles and pour out things to smear on their bodies.

A flare was suddenly shot into the sky by a native, and the intense red light instantly illuminated the darkness, exposing Andy, who was turning his head to escape, in front of everyone's eyes.

"Kill him!" The leader roared angrily and pulled out a few poison darts with his backhand, and his strong wrist strength and well-trained skills made these darts fly towards Andy's position as if they had eyes.

With the help of the time-lapse function of the V mode, Andy Kankan found a gap to dodge among the various things flying by, and the two pistols fired from time to time, but he could not attack those who threatened him from a distance, but could only kill the poisonous snakes in succession.

Because the horrible snakes unleashed by their owners were so fast, these long black snakes with triangular heads disappeared into the dark grass, almost as if they were speeding on the grass.

For any ordinary person, he would have died in the mouth of a poisonous snake by now, but Andy's V mode makes him a god of marksmanship, and each shot will break a snake to minced meat.

The twisted and deformed dead snake opened its mouth, its terrible fangs dripping venom, and if it was bitten, tonight would probably be the last day of his life.

Someone pulled the trigger of a 10mm submachine gun, and someone blew out poison darts one after another. Andy rolled to the side again, leaving two unsafed grenades on the spot, and a moment later there was a huge explosion behind him, and two natives and several poisonous snakes were blown into the sky in an instant, and the flying corpses even overtook Andy who was running away and landed in front of him.

His physical strength was almost exhausted, and the person behind him seemed to be thrown off for the time being, and he struggled to rest on a rock.

"Andy?!" Not far away, there was the sound of string inquiry, and it was impossible for her not to notice such a big movement.

"Whew..... Be careful, behind me..."He had just left from the stone, slightly distracted by the arrival of his companion, and did not realize that this negligence would have caused extremely serious consequences.

The flying corpse that had fallen to the ground suddenly got up at some point, shook its head, and immediately noticed Andy, who was close at hand and had not found him.

The ferocious native had been badly wounded by the fragments of a fragmentation grenade, but he endured the pain and stabbed a tiny, hollow knife the size of his thumb.

After just a few seconds, he suddenly got up, jumped with all his strength, and slashed through the air with a volley.

Andy was alert at the last moment, but he didn't have time to dodge, so he could only raise his arm to block, and the sharp waist knife was immediately slashed at Andy's arm with all his strength, and the toxin on it also entered Andy's body.

"Ahh - "Andy screamed in surprise as he punched the native's head with a tooth-aching sound.

The man fell to the ground without saying a word, and was killed on the spot.

"Let's go! There are a lot of these guys in the back! Andy grinned in pain, the screen of the beep-beep boy was almost covered with blood, and the expression on the face of the bea-eyed villain on it changed from the original relaxed smile to a face full of pain, and the expression was extremely gray, and one arm was in a cast and wrapped in a bandage.

[Warning: You are disabled, please look for professional equipment and professionals to deal with it, in order to avoid secondary injury and sequelae, do not rashly use treatment needles on the disabled limb before treating the limb.]

He only felt that the world was spinning, and he didn't know if it was because of blood loss or poisoning, but he didn't run out two steps before he stumbled to the ground.

"Oh my God! Save him! String screamed uncontrollably, and she rushed over, only to find that she couldn't lift Andy up, his muscles making him overweight, almost like a doll made of steel.

The hiss of the vipers and the shouts of the natives were not far away, and beyond the remnants left by the grenade explosion, the guys were in full pursuit, and they were completely in a posture of never giving up.

At the critical moment, String pulled open his coat, took out several encapsulated liquid canisters from it, pressed the switch, and threw it towards the pursuers in front with all his strength.

The liquid tank exploded automatically when it hit the ground, and the liquid inside burst out a large number of bubbles in the wind, and then instantly began to evaporate, turning into clouds of smoke and scattering everywhere.

Several of the natives who broke into it suddenly stiffened, clutching their throats and rolling on the ground, their improvised protective equipment vulnerable to the terrible poisonous smoke, and their skin even began to fester.

Standing in the distance, he was still pondering his Tesla rifle, he was full of confidence and was ready to use a few energy storage batteries to burn these natives to ashes, but he didn't think about his transformation, and he didn't know what was wrong with his transformation, and this time he couldn't launch anything at all.

Hearing the strings calling for help in the distance, he reluctantly put down the weapon in his hand and turned the track belt to Andy's side.

By this time, he had passed out, covered in blood and blackened.

"Oh, he doesn't look great." String pulled up his gas mask and sealed all the gaps in his clothes and pants in case the poisonous smoke in the distance would move due to the sudden change in the direction of the wind, and the Tank Brain was not afraid of the poison that was only effective on living things.

"Don't talk nonsense, he's going to die if you rub him any longer, take him back quickly!" The Tank Brain muttered two words, stretched out the mechanical arm and easily put Andy on top of his head, and then turned the track against him and galloped towards the Atomic Humvee, and the string behind him threw out some biological and chemical weapons, and then hurried to keep up with the pace of the Tank Brain.

They escaped without a hitch, and those who did not dare to continue the pursuit in the rear stood silently and gave up the pursuit, once they got close to the unknown poisonous smoke, both humans and snakes would immediately die tragically, and even the hounds who often dealt with snakes and poisonous dogs were not willing to rush deeper.

The leader of the group inserted the waist knife back into the scabbard and signaled the others to prepare to leave here, he didn't particularly care about Andy and the others escaping, after all, their target was only the old man who was beheaded by him.

Although these inexplicable outsiders have caused them to lose their troops, it is not worth mentioning in terms of the strength of Ouroboros Village.

"Send someone to guard this neighborhood tonight, and absolutely no one will be allowed to enter the source of the great river, that is the order given by Lady Hecate herself! I brought back the head of my pants to Ms. Hecate, these guys dare to disobey the goddess so much, killing her with a knife is cheap for her... Their poor chieftain will be taken to the village and whipped alive into skeletons, you clean up, and someone will replace you tomorrow..."
