42. Giant serpent
Kelly thinks that she is also the number one person in the heavenly realm, although she doesn't dare to say that she is overturned, but at least the corps she organized is also able to eat in many places - in order to get a good reputation, she also spent a lot of effort to restrain and correct the discipline of her corps, and after experiencing the initial difficulties, now business is getting better and better.
With the expansion of the scale of the corps organization, Kelly's mission is becoming more and more high-end, this time she was entrusted by a certain "big man" to come to the surface world to carry out a top-secret mission.
Sounds like a bit of?
Why should the so-called top-secret "important mission" be entrusted to a group of borderless corps? Isn't it clear that there are more, better, and more reliable options?
In fact, it's because once something goes wrong, it's easy to dump the pot - Kelly is not stupid, and naturally understands that even if the situation evolves into the worst, she must carry this black pot on her back, otherwise, something more terrible may happen......
But it doesn't matter!
After all, Kelly has been in business for so many years, and she is not a catfish who can be left to the mercy of others, and even the "big man" who entrusted her with the task this time cannot risk being bitten back, and make the act of unloading the mill and killing the donkey for no reason - as long as they complete the task successfully, Kelly is not worried about being treated unfairly.
Over the years, Kelly herself has become a little accustomed to this "just be reckless!" mode, however, this time she kicked an iron plate......
"What the hell is this monster!?"
Kelly had never seen a beast of this magnitude before when she found the entrance to the cave. She also thought that something was hiding inside. The largest is only the size of a cavern...... But it's measured by that size, relative to the size of a person. It's also a behemoth.
The diameter of the cave entrance is about sixteen meters, and under normal circumstances, a beast with a body size of more than four meters can be regarded as a large creature in both the heavenly realm and the earthly world. Kelly originally thought that what was hidden in the cave was a guy with a body size of about ten meters...... However, it turned out that her idea was still too young, too simple.
The height of the cave. It does reflect the size of the body of the "inhabitant", but it is only the "width" of its body—and its "length", Kelly can no longer estimate, because until now, she has not seen the whole picture of the other party!
The monster hiding in the snowy mountains was a snake.
Maybe it can't be said to be a snake? Not to mention the size, the scales on the other party's body are obviously somewhat different from snakes - at least. The serpent's body would never have such hideous spike-like scales, but on either side of the back of this mysterious beast were two rows of not-so-friendly spikes.
"Don't attack rashly!"
Kelly hurriedly shouted to her teammates who rushed behind her. The other party's form is too large, even though Kelly is equipped with the latest armor and weapons. They don't dare to attack each other recklessly. No one knew what terrifying power this monster possessed—after all, it had been detected that this was the source of the vast amount of magic that caused the chaos. Kelly would never think that the other party was a silver-like pewter spear head who was strong on the outside.
"Oh my God, this ...... What is this......"
The members of the Corps who arrived one after another. They were also frightened by the behemoth that leaned out of the cave and was entrenched on the mountain peak.
What an oppressive monster this is! Many celestial people flying in the sky. In front of this huge serpentine beast, it was less than half as tall as its exposed front teeth. For a while, everyone even had an illusion - those flies and mosquitoes that are annoying on weekdays are probably in the eyes of monsters now, just like that kind of zài, right?
"What are we going to do now?"
"What else can I do?" Kelly glanced at the other party angrily, "Give up the plan to attack for the time being, and wait until I go back and consult Frei, and then find a way." If you rashly attack and provoke the other party, there will be no room for maneuver. ”
Developed like that, not to mention how to complete the tasks assigned to her, Kelly was more worried about how she and the others would survive the fury of this giant beast - even if she was equipped with the latest equipment, Kelly was very unconfident in front of this monster, not to mention those subordinates who were already inferior to herself and equipped with old equipment.
Whether it's thinking about the mission or the lives of her subordinates, Kelly can't afford to be brave now.
Fortunately, this monster doesn't seem to be attacking at the moment. At this moment, it was looking at these strange "little creatures" in front of it, how could they have such weight? It could distinguish the weight of these creatures in front of it, and in terms of their size and mass, they did not look like they could fly at all.
Although the face is very vicious, but at present, this giant snake, in addition to the reptilian creatures in its pupils, has the kind of cold-blooded and intimidating nature, and also has some curiosity.
That sounds weird...... But this giant snake, at this moment, does not have too much hostility and rage in his eyes, so Kelly feels that this is not an irrational beast, and there should be the possibility of communication between the two sides.
It's just that she doesn't think that a group of people like her have the ability to communicate with each other. Kelly thinks that in order to communicate with this big guy who keeps spitting snake letters, she still has to ask Frey - she is inextricably linked to the "Throat of the World", and the snake in front of her is likely to have a lot of secrets with this mountain range, let her try, maybe it will have a good effect?
"Be careful, don't provoke its hostility, we'll get out of the way first......"
Just as Kelly was instructing her subordinates to do this, she suddenly spotted a narrow rocket out of the corner of her eye. It was dragging a string of white tail smoke and speeding towards the giant snake.
"What ——!"
It happened so suddenly. Kelly didn't even have time to snipe the rocket with her own firearm when she saw it. Hit the serpent's body.
Rumble!
"Damn!, that one who didn't do it!?"
Kelly is going crazy now-she's given the order not to attack, how can anyone still control their fingers and pull the trigger!? But Kelly didn't have time to catch the soul that was too successful and more than defeated, and a roar that seemed to be able to tear the soul apart forcibly pulled Kelly's mind back to reality.
"Oops, this guy is angry!"
If you want to describe it as a "food chain", then this giant snake is a storage zài that can stand at the top of the food chain in this world. As the top predator, he doesn't have a friendly temper. It was rare for it to show a friendly gesture, but it was attacked by a group of weak "ants" - obviously, this giant snake's cultivation could not be expected to be very generous.
A strong light suddenly erupted in the smoke and dust, and Kelly subconsciously covered her eyes, and then realized that her equipment this time had the function of visual protection against strong light. In the presence of such a terrible enemy, it is undoubtedly dangerous to cover one's sight. Kelly hurriedly turned on this new feature, trying to keep an eye on the other party's actions.
"How could it be...... Ah, help!"
"Why did you find out about us...... Don't, don't come here!"
A few screams came not far away. Caught Kelly's attention. When she set her eyes in that direction, she froze a little—it was a very hidden corner, and there were two people there. But it wasn't someone Kelly was familiar with! Before, she didn't notice that there were two people mixed in here. But now, after seeing the weapons that the other party hastily took out to meet the enemy. Kelly was completely sure that this was not her own subordinate!
It is impossible for her subordinates to use such dangerous and dirty weapons that are forbidden to spread and use!
"Damn, where did you come from? did you come to sabotage our plans...... So, the secret has been leaked?"
Those two people should have deliberately come to sabotage the arrangement of themselves and others, and they shot the rocket just now, thinking that they also hoped to provoke a battle between the two sides, if they could use this opportunity to borrow a knife to kill people and eliminate themselves and others here in one fell swoop, would they be able to go back and receive a great credit?
Kelly looked at the two sinister fellows, and without even making any decent resistance, they disappeared into the blazing white light, and there were no bones left, and a trace of contempt could not help but rise in her heart-deserved! It is said that beasts are more sensitive to malice than humans, and they have directly launched malicious attacks, presumably they have been targeted by this giant snake, right? As a result, they did not flee from this place in the first place, but wanted to watch the outcome of the battle, and finally led to their own death.
You can't live if you do your own evil!
And in the next second, Kelly had no more thoughts to gloat - because, after destroying the two madmen who dared to attack him with a thunderbolt, the giant snake turned its gaze and began to glare at Kelly viciously. In its eyes, the appearance, breath, and equipment of Kelly and the others were similar to those two celestial people who had turned into ashes, and it regarded Kelly and the others as accomplices of those two people!
[High Energy Attack Detected, Attack Vector, Vision - Now Obscuring Vision.] 】
A stiff electronic voice suddenly rang in Kelly's ears.
Immediately after, Kelly found that her eyes were dark, and she couldn't see anything - obviously, this was covered by this set of "new equipment"! Kelly was just about to scold this inexplicable setting, when suddenly screams came from behind her...... That's the voice of her men!
What's going on!?
Kelly wanted to know what kind of attack her subordinates had encountered, but now that her eyes were so dark that she couldn't see anything, and in her ears, she kept hearing screams. Those heart-rending screams all illustrate the dangerous situation her subordinates are encountering now!
What worries Kelly the most is that the owner of many voices never let out a second scream......
[Visual information is being imported......]
Not again!
Kelly couldn't help but curse her mother in her heart - what kind of strange functions are set up in this so-called new equipment? Kelly remembered that the designer had said that this thing had added some "artificial intelligence", but now she just felt that this thing was too bad.
But when Kelly regained her vision...... Or rather. When I was able to "see" the things around me again, I didn't have that mind.
"People...... What about people?"
A space around. It was already empty, and no one could see it—but what was the scream before!? Kelly now felt a chill rise in her heart. It spread down her spine to her limbs, freezing her body stiffened...... Her subordinates would never leave behind her, and the screams before were definitely not her hallucinations! In this case, there was only one possibility—her subordinates, those who had come here with her, had all met with her......
How is this possible!
Kelly subconsciously roared in her heart—who of the subordinates she brought to the earthly world this time was not a veteran who had experienced large and small battles and had rich combat experience and skills? No matter where it was placed in the Heavenly Realm, it was a very difficult bone to gnaw, but in less than ten seconds just now, it was completely wiped out?
Kelly looked at the giant snake on the opposite side with some confusion.
[The visual information relay station has been destroyed and is being re-established......]
The moment Kelly's gaze met the eyes of the giant snake opposite, she felt as if a strange heat had pierced her body...... Then, her vision went dark again. After returning to the darkness. Kelly realized that she was in pain from being burned all over her body.
Line of sight...... Burn......
"That's ...... so"
Kelly said this almost through gritted teeth—she finally understood how her men had died tragically. Her new armor, the moment her eyes met with the serpent. cut off her vision, but Kelly's men didn't take such precautions. When their gaze met the serpent, a strange attack descended on them...... Kelly knew that she should be burned by now. Even himself, who disconnected his vision in time, was burned like this. Kelly's subordinates, I'm afraid the reason why they "disappeared". It's because it was completely burned by the heat, right?
"Damn!"
Kelly's heart is dripping blood, these are all old subordinates who have fought with him for a long time and have a deep friendship! As the head and leader of the regiment, Kelly can be unscrupulously complained about as a female man by them in ordinary times, which is enough to see the friendship between these people. And now, all of these comrades-in-arms have died here!
"You bastard!
Leaving the anger, Kelly can no longer care whether the other party can still communicate, even if there are thousands of reasons, the fact that her subordinates and comrades-in-arms were killed by the other party is impossible to counteract! Kelly has no other thoughts now, and killing this hateful beast is her only thought!
As for whether you are the opponent of the other party...... For Kelly now, there is no room in the brain for these thoughts.
She displayed all the weapons she could use and carry, and instilled the magic power of self-transformation, and this full shot was powerful enough to completely flatten the top of a mountain. Although Kelly couldn't see anything now, the aura of that huge creature couldn't be ignored at all, and Kelly could be sure that the crosshairs of all her weapons were aimed at the hateful head of the great serpent!
However, in the face of such all-out firepower, the giant snake did not have any intention of dodging.
If Kelly could still see things now, she would be able to find that at this moment, there was a "smile" on the head of the giant snake - this scene was really extremely weird, on the snake's head, there was really a "smile" that seemed to be half mocking?
Just when Kelly output her magic power to the maximum and all her firepower was about to explode, the cold and stiff electronic voice appeared again...... And, it seems that every time it appears, it doesn't bring good news, and this time, too.
[Detected that the magic of the weapon is out of control, now immediately disarm all weapons and disengage ......]
Kelly only felt that all the external weapons had been detached from her armor, not to mention, even the firearm that was held in her hand also came with a burst of strong electricity, which made Kelly feel pain and came out of her hand.
"What's going on...... ...... thing"
Kelly's doubts were "answered" in the next moment—less than two seconds after all the weapons were dismantled, one after the other began to explode. All of these weapons were fully charged, and at the last moment, all the magic power collapsed, and the destructive power produced was quite amazing, even if Kelly broke away in time, but two seconds was not enough to get her out of the explosion range of the weapon.
Now it's time to test the defensive capabilities of this new set of equipment.
The shield that came with it was torn up almost instantly, and when Kelly planned to use her magic power to top it, she found that her magic power didn't seem to be controlled at all!
By the way, the magic of his own weapon just now also suddenly exploded...... Only then did Kelly realize that this giant snake also had the ability to disturb magic.
You can't use magic to provide continuous protection...... Kelly knew that she was going to die here.
......
"It's okay, I just caught up!" (To be continued......)
