Trickster Hunter

Chapter 273: Hit the snake at its weakest point

"Everyone retreat two hundred meters - no! Three hundred meters!" Wang Xiyi, who was flying in the sky, ordered loudly.

Except for Ye Jiu and Zhu Long, everyone else returned to the car, shifted into reverse gear, stepped on the accelerator, and the four cars quickly retreated.

"You two, leave quickly too!" Wang Xiyi looked down at Ye Jiu and Zhu Long who were still there, and shouted angrily.

In her palm, the rising blue dragon flame was ten meters away. From a distance, it looked like two flaming halberds held in her hands.

"You really don't need help?" Ye Jiu shouted, "This big guy doesn't look easy to deal with!"

"You leave my attack range, which is the best help for me! Quick! I'll give you three more seconds!"

But unfortunately, reality is neither anime nor a movie. There is no time stop BUFF when the protagonists are talking. The metal giant snake disturbed by Ye Jiu had no awareness of actively disconnecting. Instead, when Wang Xiyi asked the two to retreat, it directly pounced on the two!

The oversized mouth of the metal giant snake expanded again, and the diameter exceeded 30 meters in an instant. From a distance, it looked like a giant metal funnel, covering Ye Jiu and Zhu Long!

"Fuck!" Ye Jiu's face changed suddenly. This time, Wang Xiyi didn't need to remind him. He directly pushed the power of "killing" to the extreme and retreated madly with his body.

As for Zhulong, his entire body turned into a stream of cold water, flowing close to the ground. In a blink of an eye, he condensed into a human form again outside the attack range of the metal giant snake.

"Boom!!!"

The front end of the metal giant snake hit the ground heavily, and the metal objects that made up the giant snake's body instantly flew away. A sharp iron plate shattered the windshield of the leading car and cut the head of the field operator who replaced Wang Xiyi in the car into two halves. The bright red blood and gray brain matter directly hit the faces of Ling Xiao and Jiang Yu in the back seat.

Fortunately, this is a military armored off-road vehicle. The strength of the two A-pillars is much higher than that of civilian vehicles. This is how it withstood the impact and cutting of this large iron plate... Otherwise, the two people in the back seat would probably have been beheaded now.

The tip of the iron plate was less than ten centimeters away from Jiang Yu. On the iron plate covered with blood, minced meat and broken glass, a bloody eyeball was scraped, and the enlarged black pupil stared straight at Jiang Yu.

Until the strong feeling of suffocation strangled her throat, Jiang Yu realized that she had just completely forgotten to breathe, and suddenly coughed violently-but with the opening and closing of her lips, the minced meat with a strong smell of blood fell into her mouth again.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Ling Xiao, who was sitting next to her, wiped his face with his hand without changing his expression, and took out a bottle of water and a pack of wet wipes from the storage compartment under the seat and handed them over.

"This is car number one." Ling Xiao picked up the intercom hanging behind the door. "The driver was attacked and has been confirmed dead. There is no value in rescuing him. I repeat, the driver of car number one is dead."

"...hiss...hiss...two people in car number two are seriously injured, and the engine is seriously damaged...hiss..."

"This is...car number three...hiss...we fell into the roadside drainage ditch...in the ditch in order to avoid...the vehicle overturned...hiss...my leg is stuck...request support...someone come to help us!"

The situation of the other vehicles was not optimistic either. Although the metal giant snake did not directly attack the convoy, the "aftermath" of the splash alone had caused heavy losses to the convoy. Only the multi-purpose engineering vehicle that was at the end of the team at the beginning and had the thickest armor barely withstood the attack.

"Car No. 4, go rescue Car No. 3, and pull them out of the ditch! Ling Xiao! Jiang Yu! Get out of the car immediately, take the medical kit, and go to Car No. 2 to help! Don't rush to treat the wounded, take them to a safe place first!" Ye Jiu rushed to Car No. 1, opened the door, and dragged the body out of the driver's seat.

"Understood!" Ling Xiao nodded, took the things and rushed out, leaving Jiang Yu sitting there in a daze.

"What are you still doing?" Ye Jiu glared at Jiang Yu and said in a low voice.

"I... I..." Before Jiang Yu could finish her words, a strong urge to vomit came up, she pushed open the door, bent over and retched.

"Why are you panicking?! Isn't it just a dead person?" Ye Jiu couldn't help but scold, "If you are so scared, you shouldn't have participated in this mission!"

"Yes, sorry..." Jiang Yu said with some difficulty. She unscrewed the bottle cap, closed her eyes and drank a big mouthful of water, then climbed out of the car with her hands and feet, stood up and ran towards the No. 2 car that was lying in the middle of the road not far away with two thick steel bars stuck on the hood.

"Tsk... The quality gap between the two newcomers is too big." After complaining, Ye Jiu sat directly in the car. The sponge cushion that was soaked with blood suddenly made a puffing sound, and a large amount of blood was squeezed out of the pores of the sponge and spilled on the car.

Ye Jiu tried to start the car, but accompanied by a wailing engine sound, the whole car shook violently and did not move under Ye Jiu's operation.

"Damn it!" Ye Jiu slapped the steering wheel hard and cursed, "Car No. 1 is also written off! Zhulong, how are you doing?"

"We are buying them time!" Zhulong replied in the communication channel.

A folded mechanical arm extended from the back of the No. 4 vehicle. Several field operators were fixing ropes to the hooks at the end of the mechanical arm. Zhulong stood between them and the giant metal snake, using the cold water flow to prop up a water wall five or six meters high to serve as their shield.

Ye Jiu raised his head again and saw that Wang Xiyi, who was suspended in the air, had already launched several attacks on the giant metal snake. Her flames could instantly melt the metal objects that made up the giant snake's body, but the problem was that the molten iron flowed along the giant snake's body and would solidify again before it fell to the ground, becoming part of the giant snake's body again.

Even, there was no need to solidify. The red iron could also be absorbed by the giant snake's body and turned into flowing skin and scales.

"Unless the entire giant snake can be melted in one go, there is no way to kill it... No, maybe melting it completely will be useless. By then, it will no longer be a metal giant snake, but a molten iron giant snake, and its destructive power will probably be even greater." Ye Jiu, who was sitting in the car, murmured, "Damn... How can we deal with this weird thing?"

"The rescue of car No. 3 is completed!" Ten seconds later, the communication channel finally received a rare good news.

"Can car No. 3 still move?" Ye Jiu asked.

"Yes!"

"While the Night Fury attracts the attention of the weird thing, you should retreat quickly! Zhulong, you go with them!" Ye Jiu said,

"What about you?" Zhulong asked immediately.

"I... I'll stay here and think of a solution!" Ye Jiu gritted his teeth, "We can't go on like this! The Night Fury's stamina will be exhausted, but this monster doesn't look tired at all... If we continue to fight, our chances of winning will only get lower and lower!"

"Captain Ye, can't we retreat?" A field operator who was familiar with Ye Jiu asked in the communication channel, "We can choose to take a detour, or simply retreat to the border post to reorganize... It's better than staying here and fighting this monster, right?"

"He makes sense." Zhu Long sighed, "We have lost half of our vehicles, one person died, and two Seriously injured, two slightly injured... If the seriously injured are not treated in time, they will die. "

"I know! But, Zhulong, have you considered one thing-this strange creature looks bulky, but its speed is not slow at all. If we choose to retreat, it can catch up with us... It is even capable of going around in front of us and blocking our way. "

"I will contain it!" Wang Xiyi's voice sounded in the communication channel. Her tone was hurried, and there was also a violent gasp. "You find a way to bring the wounded back to the outpost. As for this operation..."

"You don't want to be a lone hero alone, do you?" Ye Jiu asked.

"What's wrong, is there a problem?" Wang Xiyi asked back, "It's not the first time."

"How confident are you that you can get rid of this guy?"

"Fifty percent."

"What do you plan to do after getting rid of him? Go to find Sun Hang alone?" Ye Jiu asked again.

"We'll talk about what happens next!"

While speaking, Wang Xiyi flapped her wings and rose into the sky, followed by a swift dive. The flames in her hands condensed into a huge dragon claw shape, leaving three nearly half-meter wide, more than ten meters long, and glowing red on the giant snake's trunk.

The metal objects weighing several tons were melted, but the giant snake was not weakened. Instead, it was constantly tempering its body with Wang Xiyi's flames. Five minutes had passed since the battle between the two sides. The trunk of the metal giant snake had shrunk a whole circle, but the metal objects that made up its body became more dense. The molten iron seeped into the gaps between the metal objects like blood, making the giant snake's body more solid.

Wang Xiyi naturally understood this, but her initial plan was to use this method to make the giant snake lose its flexibility - it was like welding those moving gears and mechanical structures together with molten iron. Although the overall strength was increased, it lost its mobility. No matter how hard it was, it was just a big piece of iron that could not move.

However, the fact was not as she wished - this force that brought countless metal objects together could not only manipulate the giant snake to attack, but also make the solidified metal into any form. At first glance, it seemed as if the metal filling the pores was liquid.

This ability is indeed very similar to Sun Hang's ability to manipulate metal.

"Damn, Sun Hang is in there, right?" Ye Jiu murmured.

"No!" Wang Xiyi said firmly, "If it was him, I would have a sense of it."

After Sun Hang absorbed part of the black dragon meme, the two not only had that powerful combination skill, but also gained a wonderful sense of induction - as long as the two were at a certain distance, they could sense each other's existence. In Yang Qi's words: This is also a manifestation of "memetic resonance".

"This won't work!" Ye Jiu shouted, "You can't kill it, you're just wasting your energy!"

"So you better get out of here! If you don't, I won't be able to get away!" Wang Xiyi said angrily.

Ye Jiu looked up and down at the giant metal snake that was still fighting with Wang Xiyi, suddenly slapped his thigh hard, jumped off the car, and rushed towards the giant metal snake at full speed!

"Are you looking for death?!" Seeing Ye Jiu below not retreating but advancing, Wang Xiyi couldn't help but curse.

"I have an idea, maybe I can get rid of this guy!" Ye Jiu shouted while running.

"What is it?"

"Have you noticed that no matter how you attack it, only this part of its body is exposed above the ground?"

"What do you want to say? Say it quickly! Don't keep me in suspense!"

"The back half of this snake's body is always shrinking in the cave and unwilling to come out. Maybe its weakness is there! As the saying goes, you have to hit the snake at its weakest point. Maybe this guy's weakest point is hidden underground!"

Hearing Ye Jiu say this, Wang Xiyi thought about it...it seems that there is some truth.

When I was fighting with the giant metal snake just now, there were several times when the giant snake's body was extended to the limit, but the attack was still barely dodged by me. At that time, it only needed to crawl out of the cave a little more - not much, just a few meters, and I would be unavoidable.

The intelligence of this giant metal snake is definitely not low. In five minutes, Wang Xiyi's attack method that had been tried and tested at the beginning is now becoming more and more difficult to use.

This strange creature can learn continuously in the battle, and can predict the attack point and dodge direction according to Wang Xiyi's fighting habits...

Not only that, it also understands a very important thing: the opponent's attack can't cause effective damage to itself, and as long as its attack hits, it can make the opponent fall into ruin...

After understanding this, it gave up all defensive actions and went straight to the injury-for-injury style of fighting... If Wang Xiyi's attack wants to hit it, it will definitely have to pay a very heavy price.

A strange creature with this kind of IQ will definitely understand that as long as it crawls out of the cave a little further, it can swallow the enemy in one gulp...

It's not that it doesn't want to, but it can't!

"I will try my best to help you hold it back! You'd better move faster!" Wang Xiyi shouted, and at the same time, she began to increase the altitude and use long-range breath attacks to distract the giant snake's attention.

Ye Jiu’s movement speed was not slow either. He quickly ran to the location where the giant metal snake "emerged" and swung the wolf-fang spear in his hand, smashing it hard towards the ground!
