Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Siege

"Sir, something is wrong."

Within the dense forest, the rapid progress of the two and a rabbit came to a standstill, and it was already a few minutes after they stepped into the dense forest.

As the distance gradually deepened, the surrounding ancient trees were towering and green, and the environment became more and more secluded, and at the same time, a faint sense of crisis also quietly shrouded them.

Ah Fu stroked the hare's hair with his hand, looked at Xu Yue in front of him and spoke softly, and if he looked closely, he could find that the hare under him was full of tense muscles, the two erect long ears on the top of his head trembled slightly, and a pair of round small eyes kept looking around.

The hare has a keen perception and is timid by nature, and the state at this moment is undoubtedly to perceive that there is some kind of crisis around him, so he is extremely vigilant, if it were not for Ah Fu's comfort, it is estimated that he would have fled long ago.

Listening to the reminder from behind him, Xu Yue nodded lightly, even if he didn't need to be reminded by Ah Fu, he also found that something was wrong with the surrounding environment, it was a little too quiet.

His right foot sank downward, and the invisible vibration ripples spread outward, and finally returned to Xu Yue's mind, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he turned to look at the forest on the left, and a touch of silver spread quickly on his skin.

"The forests are indeed much livelier than the plains, and the inhabitants seem to be quite hospitable."

Before the words fell, a series of explosions sounded in front of Xu Yue, and in an instant, the trees toppled down, debris flew one after another, and several tree trunks as far as the eye could see disintegrated and shattered at the same time, bursting out large clouds of smoke and dust and wood chips.

A thick dark green snake tail tore through the smoke and dust, and struck at Xu Yue with majestic force.

"When!!"

A thick metal knock sounded in the woods, and instead of hitting the target as expected, the snake's tail made a close contact with a heavy tower shield that suddenly appeared, and the two collided blatantly, and then parted with a single touch.

The impact of the tower shield and the snake tail set off a surging wave of air, blowing away all the fallen leaves and dust around him, and under the heavy blow, Xu Yue and his people with the shield were pressed back again and again by the brutal force, and the heavy tower shield at the lower end of the station pulled out a deep ravine on the ground.

On the other side, the effect of force is always mutual, while Xu Yue's side is repulsed, the attacking snake tail is also uncomfortable, and the dark green wide scale armor is obviously not comparable to the purple quality metal tower shield.

The price of the intimate encounter was that the snake's tail was also hit backwards, and a large number of scales were torn to shreds, revealing the powerful muscles underneath and the constant flow of foul snake blood.

"Shhhhh

The tail of the snake, which had been badly injured, retracted violently, and suddenly a violent snake hissed in front of it, and then a rumbling muffled sound came, as if something heavy had run over the ground and was galloping.

A few more broken tree trunks were smashed by brute force, and a giant snake with more than ten zhang feet pounced fiercely from the dense forest, the giant snake was dark green all over, the snake body was thick but not bloated, and the swimming speed was extremely fast, but in a moment, it was already close to Xu Yue about 100 meters.

The cold snake pupils stared at the target not far away, and tens of thousands of muscles on its body worked together, and the snake body suddenly popped out in a shrinking and releasing manner, and the giant snake shot towards the direction where Xu Yue was like an arrow from the string, and the snake was swallowed, and the hideous snake kiss opened, revealing a dark flesh and blood abyss, like the mouth of hell.

The mouth of hell, which was nearly twice as wide as the heavy tower shield after opening, had not yet approached, and the strong wind that exuded a strong fishy smell had already arrived one step ahead, Xu Yue poked his head out from the side of the tower shield, his eyes paused on the pitch-black snake kiss in front of him, and the identity of the giant snake immediately appeared in his mind.

The black mamba snake, known as the "African Grim Reaper", is known as the world's deadliest venomous snake, moving the fastest of the snakes, cruel and murderous by nature, extremely aggressive, and the venom is even more deadly, even if it is a black mamba in a normal state, the toxin it carries is enough to kill 13-20 adult males, and now the existence of this giant, its poison is incalculable.

After reacting to the identity of the giant snake, Xu Yue immediately controlled the mana value in his body to quickly flow into the dantian, and the boiling golden-red flames suddenly rose into the sky, instantly extinguishing the surging fishy wind, and the faint black that had just appeared on his face also disappeared under the wrapping of the flames.

After doing this, the snake kiss in front of him was already close at hand, Xu Yue, who had been swallowed by the giant snake in his abdomen, obviously didn't want to experience that bad experience again, he took half a step back, then raised his right foot, and kicked the inside of the tower shield in front of him with a fierce kick.

A dense scream sounded in the clearing, and the two-meter-tall heavy tower shield was kicked into a large number of metal fragments by Xu Yue, and the fragments wrapped around the golden red flames tore through the air, scrambling to shoot into the snake kiss that opened in front of them, the two forces hedged, and the flesh and blood in the mouth were directly penetrated by the fragments, and a large amount of stinky blood gushed out in an instant.

And Xu Yue had already kicked out that kick, and he was driven backwards by the reaction force, out of the attack range of the snake kiss.

The black mamba stopped, it pounced this time to steal the chicken and rice, not only failed to swallow the prey in one fell swoop, but also made the flesh and blood of its mouth blurred, if it wasn't for the muscle strength was tough enough, the metal fragment failed to penetrate the brain, otherwise it would be killed directly by Xu Yue.

The invincible moves against other prey on this island, when used against Xu Yue, will only expose their weaknesses, this is the case with the black giant snake that once devoured him, and now the same is true of this black mamba.

Numerous metal fragments with dark blood stains spat out of his mouth and clanged to the ground, and the black mamba slowly raised his upper body, and some blackened blood overflowed from both sides of the closed snake's kiss, and after flowing to the ground, it suddenly sizzled, like concentrated sulfuric acid corroded and rose black poisonous mist on the ground.

The height of the black mamba in the upright state was seven or eight meters, and the large shadow cast completely covered Xu Yue, and its huge head poked down, and its eyes were full of anger when it looked at the dwarf monkey below it.

Below, Xu Yue, who was surrounded by flames and was like a god in the fire, looked up, a pair of golden red eyes were silent, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion, the strongest thing in the black mamba was poison, but poison was a thing that didn't play a role in Xu Yue, who had pure yang.

As if sensing Xu Yue's contemptuous attitude, the black mamba's eyes were even more angry, and its closed snake kiss suddenly opened, and a large amount of blood mixed with venom sprayed towards Xu Yue overwhelmingly, sealing all the space for evasion.

Then the whole snake head smashed down from the top of its head like a heavy hammer, but this time it learned to be obedient, and the snake's kiss was closed tightly during the fall, not revealing any gaps.

Directly above, the blood rain and snake hammer came one after another, but Xu Yue's face was still flat, the flames all over his body rose and spread, and in an instant, the falling blood rain evaporated, and at the same time, the halberd in his hand was lifted, and a black halberd phantom suddenly broke away from the end of the halberd, and went straight to the head of the snake that smashed down.

"Boom!"

The phantom of the halberd pierced through the blood rain flames intertwined in mid-air, colliding with the huge snake head of the black mamba, the moment the two came into contact, the halberd shadow burst violently, and the powerful impact force caused the snake head that should have been smashed to rise uncontrollably upwards for a moment.

Unlike the sharp armor-piercing of the sword, the halberd shadow that Xu Yue wielded only had a domineering and ferocious explosion.

In the next second, the silver figure jumped high and appeared on the side of the snake's head that was a little dazed, and the long halberd in his hand waved horizontally, and the thick halberd end tore apart the qi wave and slapped heavily on the side of the snake's head.

A violent roar resounded in mid-air, the snake scales disintegrated at the place where the halberd struck, and the flesh and blood turned into mud, and the black mamba, a behemoth with a length of more than ten zhang, was actually whipped away by this small figure, and the long strip-like thick snake body rolled and flew out to the left.

After a few breaths, the snake's body smashed to the ground, and the exaggerated weight smashed a large cloud of soot and grass clippings on the ground.

In the rising smoke and dust, the disfigured Black Mamba staggered up, at this time the small half of his face on the right side was already bloody and terrifying, and the snow-white skull was faintly exposed, and the damage caused by the tyrannical effect of Fang Tian's halberd was still ferocious.

Just as the head of the black mamba was about to be raised, a ball of flame fireball above his head smashed down violently, and Xu Yue in the fireball held the tail of the halberd in both hands, and in a posture almost like a fisherman's spearfish, the halberd was fiercely pierced down.

The black mamba, who had just received a heavy blow and had not yet regained consciousness, was unable to avoid the blow that fell from the sky, and the tip of the halberd cleanly pierced the scales of the head, and then the flesh and bones.

The snake head that had just been raised fell to the ground again, and what was more serious was that the front end of the black mamba's head had been completely pierced by a halberd and nailed to the ground.

According to common sense, the skull was pierced through, and in this kind of brain-opening situation, ordinary creatures can basically declare GG, but the strong vitality of the black mamba makes it not die on the spot, but because of the stimulation of severe pain, the original chaotic consciousness is also instantly awake.

Feeling the rich aura of death all over its body, the snake's pupils were instantly filled with near-death madness, and it began to roll and struggle with all its might.

Sensing the surging force under his feet, Xu Yue, who was standing above the snake's head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he raised his right foot high, and the flames around his body also quickly gathered to the combat boots of his right foot, converging into a golden-red ball that was almost condensed into substance.

"Boom!!"

As his right foot stomped down, a small golden red sun immediately exploded, and a faint phantom of a fire lotus blooming appeared in the process.

A moment later, the flames died down, revealing Xu Yue, who was intact inside, and a huge snake head that had basically become a charred corpse under his feet.

But even after suffering the heavy blow of the scales and armor turning to ashes and destroying both eyes, the black mamba still did not die, and his head was still trembling slightly, and it tended to become more and more violent.

Xu Yue's eyes were slightly cold, the magic knife in his hand appeared with a thousand blades, and the lilac brilliant sword light flashed away at the neck of the snake's body, and the black mamba snake's head was separated, and finally there was no sound.

Hearing the killing prompt ringing in his ears, Xu Yue withdrew the magic knife in his hand, reached out and pulled out the Fang Tian Painting Halberd that was still inserted in the snake's head, and the flames spread out from his palm, and soon burned away the blood stains on the halberd's body.

Although he killed an attacker, Xu Yue did not show the slightest relaxation on his face, this black mamba was just a pawn who was driven in, and the real hunter was not it.

Retracting his gaze that landed on the scorched black snake's head, Xu Yue raised his eyes and looked into the distance, where there was a constant scream like a spear breaking through the air.

I saw that on the other side of the dense forest, a strange creature with countless black and white spikes on its back was launching a fierce attack on Ah Fu and them.

The creature just trembled, and the spikes on its back flew out of the air, and the endless black and white spears tore through the air and shot towards the fleeing hare, the speed of the spear was extremely fast, and it drew an afterimage in the air, but the hare's ability to change direction was too perverted.

The figure flickered left and right, like a ghost, and its speed did not decrease in the slightest, completely unpredictable, and even though the spears were densely packed, not a single spear could hit the target.

Keen perception + flexible change of direction, with the cooperation of these two skills, the hare's dodge ability is almost full, although it cannot cause effective damage to the strange creature, but self-protection is no hindrance.

His gaze paused for a moment on the hare that was running and dodging, and after making sure that Ah Fu could completely deal with it, Xu Yue turned his gaze to look at the strange creatures that were still attacking, and quickly remembered the identity of the other party in his thoughts.

"Porcupine?"

Porcupine, known as the 'Iron Float' in nature, the 'Master of Hidden Weapons', is covered in armor with thorns, the fluff on its back can be transformed into hard thorns, and the tip also has a barb, this kind of spike is extremely lethal, and can grow quickly after falling off, and can even shoot enemies like sharp arrows.

Adult porcupines carry a full 30,000 spikes on their bodies, which are the existence that tigers and leopards dare not easily provoke, and it has happened more than once in nature that leopards hunt porcupines and are finally covered in spikes.

The spikes of a normal porcupine are about half a meter long, but the length of the spikes of this giant porcupine has reached about three meters, almost approaching the halberd in his hand, and its power is even more piercing.

Looking at a spear that shot straight through the hard trunk of a tree several meters thick, Xu Yue's pupils shrank, this porcupine's attack power is very strong, but no matter how strong the attack power is, it will be in vain.

While his gaze swept over and while dodging, Ah Fu, who still had the strength to quietly throw the dung beetle puppet out, Xu Yue withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to the battlefield over there.

Ah Fu is most likely training to cooperate with the hare's dodge, and with the dung beetle puppet on his body, this porcupine is not his opponent.

He has an even more important enemy, that is, the yellow figures that are constantly flashing on the edge of the battlefield, and that is the real hunter, whether it is the black mamba or the porcupine, they are just pawns that they drive over and consume the power of the prey.

Xu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and the visible eye in his waist bag flew out quietly, and a large amount of information appeared in front of him after a while.
