The shield snake swallowed a native, but it still had not eaten enough. The strange eyes on the serpent's head turned to another native, who was still struggling on the ground, and the tip of the shield serpent stretched and retracted, and immediately flew towards the survivor. As the serpent passed the campfire, it slammed over Zero's marching bag.

This is like being run over by a truck, and even if he doesn't check it, Zero knows that the food and water inside will be reimbursed seven or eight times out of ten. With zero indifference, they couldn't help but change color at this time, it was the material they relied on to survive through the Death Ridge, and they confessed it all at once.

Colt immediately panned, turning from the native's body to the shield-armored serpent, Zero's eyes leaping with flames.

The serpent swam to the natives, and the first half of the serpent's body was immediately raised. It opened its bloody jaws and bit down on the natives.

The native was so frightened that he only knew how to scream.

Suddenly, the head of the shield snake swayed violently, as if it had been hit by something, and the snake's mouth deviated from its original trajectory and slammed into the ground next to the native. The giant snake cut off a large piece of soil, and the huge snake head was only nearly a meter away from the native, and the whole person of the natives trembled so much that they didn't even hear the gunshots that rang out not far away.

A thumb-sized bullet hole appeared in the back of the snake's skull, from which a pale green pool of snake blood remained. However, when Zero thought it was going to die, the serpent's closed eyes suddenly opened, and then let out an angry scream and rose again. Only this time, the rage overwhelmed the serpent's hunger. It turned its head to look at the source of the gunshot.

The three snake pupils shimmered with a faint blue light, and although they were far away from Zero, Zero was cold. Immediately, he knew that he had been targeted by the serpent.

Sure enough, the next moment, the shield snake had already swam towards Zero. The body of the angry giant snake grazed the ground, and countless pieces of rubble were crushed and white smoke was raised, and a smoke dragon blew up behind the shield snake.

The giant snake was menacing, and Zero untied Colt and stuffed it directly into Mony's arms, and then rushed out of the hiding place and met the giant snake without dodging.

When the two were ten meters apart, Zero jumped away, looking like he was sending himself into the mouth of the giant snake. Seeing the shield snake open its mouth wide and bite Zero, Moni couldn't help but scream.

The person was in mid-air, and Zero's figure flickered slightly. Obviously, the figure was still stuck in the air, but another figure fell diagonally towards the ground. Two figures, two zeros, the three eyes of the shield snake kept turning, but they couldn't tell the real from the fake. The giant snake has limited intelligence, and it is angry at the moment, so how can it care so much. The shield snake tail slammed into the ground, and the entire giant snake sped towards Zero in the air.

However, when the giant snake's mouth was closed, it was clear that it had bitten zero, but the feeling of the shield snake told it that it had only bitten air!

Immediately followed by a series of violent shocks and rough gunshots.

Naturally, the shield snake would not know that it was a skill that had been applied to the fifth-order agility - phantom incarnation!

It was an afterimage created by Zero when the velocity reached a certain level. The afterimage has zero body temperature, energy, and other characteristics, which can achieve the effect of disrupting the opponent's vision. Just like this shield snake, when it couldn't distinguish the real from the fake, it chose to attack Zero's afterimage, and the consequence was that Zero swept to the ground. While sliding across the ground with the kinetic energy of the momentum, the two M500s in their hands also fired at the relatively fragile abdomen of the shield snake at the same time.

Since there was no hard shield armor on the abdomen, under the shot of the two large-caliber revolvers, the giant snake's body blossomed, and the stinky snake blood sprayed Zero's face.

The two staggered between the ground and mid-air.

Zero slid out another three meters, bounced off the ground with the help of his waist, and turned his body to face the giant snake while maintaining a half-squat position. He swung his hands to his waist, and a long black square box hung from his waist. It was an automatic loader purchased in Phoenix, with a loading slot on each side, and when the shrapnel in the loading slot was pressurized, the loader's smart chip would load the haode bullets that had been prepared in the morning into the pistol through subtle control.

Because of the different firearms, the type of loader is also different. Like the petty use is a revolver, so it must also be a matching loader.

Almost as soon as the revolver pressed into the reload slot, the loader worked instantly. Under the control of the smart chip, a robotic arm on each side pulls out the drum on the gun, followed by the work of unloading the cartridge case and loading new ammunition. The whole set of procedures was completed in less than 1 second, reflecting the crystallization of this new era of craftsmanship integrating mechanical, electronic and microcomputer processes.

While the zero revolver finished reloading, the shield-armored snake that landed on the ground was still not dead. Although driven by more than 3,000 joules of kinetic energy, the M500's special warhead burrowed into the body of the giant snake and destroyed the soft tissues in its body along the way. However, compared to the size of the Giant Snake, even a .50 warhead can inflict extremely limited damage to the Giant Snake if it cannot directly hit the vital point.

Moreover, the special snake muscle structure of the shield snake allows it to automatically contract its muscles at the moment the bullet enters the body, clamping the bullet to avoid causing more damage. And once the battle is over, the shield snake can even squeeze the bullets embedded in its body out of its body through the flexible movement of its muscles. This kind of ability is not possessed by any mutant beast.

But now, it's far from the end of the fight. Therefore, the shield snake didn't have time to pay attention to the bullets in its body, and after circling on the ground for a while, it rushed towards Zero as if it were dead.

Zero turned around and ran, and the serpent chased after him. A man and a snake rushed through a large area of grass, and countless mutated bushes were directly crushed and fractured by the giant snake.

Running straight towards a man-eating tree, but Zero's speed far outweighed the man-eating tree's reaction. When the mutated tree, which was about ten meters high, was about to pull out its deadly fibrous roots from under the soil, Zero had already stepped on its body, and then rebounded with force. As for the shield snake, it crashed directly into the man-eating tree, and this collision was a thousand pounds, causing the cannibal tree to tilt backwards.

Zero adjusts his stance in mid-air, his wrists shook, and the bullets in the gun are dumped. But this time, the bullet hit the thick armor of the shield snake, and the effect was far less than the one just now. The bullet exploded a series of sparks on the snake's body, but not a drop of blood was spilled.

And the giant snake was in pain, and the big tail instinctively swept towards the mid-air zero.

Zero couldn't dodge in mid-air, so he had to put his hands in front of his chest and block the shield snake's blow.

The moment he was hit by the snake's tail, Zero borrowed his strength to fall to the ground, and followed several consecutive rolls before channeling the huge force of the shield snake away from his body. But Zero's hands were numb and painful, and if it weren't for his own second-order defense ability, I'm afraid that his arm bones would have to be severed by the giant snake now.

The muscles on his back suddenly exerted, and Zero bounced off the ground. As soon as he adjusted his position, he heard Moni scream.

"Be careful, Zero!"

The fishy wind was blowing in his face, and Zero's eyes reflected the vicious appearance of the shield snake shaking its head and biting.

Time has been unable to dodge, Zero's body bounced slightly, his legs apart, but he stepped on the upper and lower jaws of the shield snake up and down. Zero suddenly pushed the serpent's mouth open so that it couldn't close. The shield snake was ferocious, and just hit a row of man-eating trees under the black pressure of zero.

Zero held the snake's mouth with both legs, and fired two guns in his hands. The rough gunfire continued to ring, and the bullet shot directly into the snake's mouth, breaking the slender tongue in the blink of an eye. The sore shield snake was eager to swallow Zero into its stomach in one bite, but its mouth was separated by people's legs and couldn't close it at all. The shield snake had no choice but to accelerate forward, intending to crash Zero to death on the cannibal tree.

Seeing that the back was about to crash into a man-eating tree, the speed of a truck moving at full speed was comparable to that of a shield snake, and even the armor of the chariot had to be scrapped. Zero self-questioning is not as strong as a chariot, but he doesn't dare to joke with his body. The revolver quickly returned to the holster on his waist, but a fragmentation grenade reached Zero's hand.

The moment the grenade was thrown into the snake's mouth, he pushed his foot hard, and the person popped it out with force. Faster than the serpent, it fell to the ground, and then rolled away suddenly. At this moment, the shield snake crashed into the cannibal tree and immediately overwhelmed four or five large trees. Before it did, a muffled sound sounded in the giant snake's body. The serpent's body swelled rapidly, and then suddenly exploded.

A large tuft of snake blood and flesh and bone debris were sprinkled all over the ground, and as soon as these things hit the ground, both weeds and bushes frantically stirred. The mutated plants quickly sucked the fresh snake blood and flesh scraps from the ground in their own way. As for the nearby man-eating tree, it even stretched out its fibrous roots from the ground and stabbed directly into the body of the shield snake.

The shield snake, whose body was almost blown off, could not stop the attack of the man-eating tree at all, and could only watch helplessly as these demons used their fibrous roots to continuously suck the flesh and tissue in its body.

On the Grim Reaper, the cycle of life and death is played out day and night, and the roles of hunter and prey can be swapped at any time. Zero was glad he hadn't become prey, and he stood up, his hands and shoulders slightly injured. But because it was close just now, when the shield snake was exploded, several fragments of the grenade popped out with the snake's blood, just past Zero's side.

But it was only a minor injury, and the fragment was pulled out without frowning. As for a wound of this magnitude, it will heal tomorrow for Zero.

Looking at the corpse of the giant snake, in the blink of an eye, it was necessary to divide up the man-eating tree and other mutant plants, and there was no time to mourn for it. He walked back to the fire and picked up his marching bag. Sure enough, the food inside has been ruined by the ** of ten. Breads and the like are just deformed and edible, but the nutrients that Zero has prepared for himself have a torn coat, and the liquid has flowed all over the ground and is inedible.

The most critical water purification was the crushing of the utensils, which wet the entire rucksack. Even if Zero wrung out the water from the backpack immediately, it would not be enough for two people for a day.

He shook his head and picked out the bread that was still edible, but the man walked towards the surviving natives.

The fact that these primitive people living in the jungle have survived to this day indicates that they have a water source for consumption. If Zero wants to continue walking, he must find an edible water source from the Grim Reaper's Ridge, or return to Phoenix City to buy supplies again. But the second method is obviously not feasible, except for the Parkland killer who doesn't know where to hide, Zero simply doesn't have enough clean water to sustain the two of them for five days.

So for the rest, there is only the first method. That is, to get clean water from the indigenous people.

And this is also the real reason why he shot the giant snake and saved this native.
