Chapter 1431: Chapter 1426: Luring Away (Part 1)
The giant snake, upon seeing Lin Xi completely ignore it and hurriedly dash toward the church, immediately flew into a rage.
Instantly, it lunged forward, its entire tail whipping toward Lin Xi.
However, its speed, in He Zhanyin’s eyes, was quite fast.
But compared to Lin Xi, it was slow beyond comparison.
So, that tail didn’t hit Lin Xi at all.
Instead, the weeds on the ground were smashed to pieces over a large area.
Smashed to pieces!
Indeed, smashed to pieces!
Not just crushed down.
These concepts are entirely different!
Specifically speaking, in terms of power, these are not the same concepts at all.
It’s like smashing a stone to pieces, versus pulverizing it into dust — those are two completely different levels of power.
Smashed to pieces, that’s easy!
Pulverizing into dust, that’s exceedingly difficult.
In terms of strength, it requires at least dozens of times more power.
From this concept, the giant snake’s power far surpassed what the two could imagine.
Just as the giant snake was about to pursue Lin Xi, He Zhanyin raised the handgun in his hand.
"Bang!" went the sound.
The bullet hit the giant snake’s body.
Yes, it went in!
It didn’t become like in novels or TV shows where blades and bullets don’t penetrate.
However, there’s a bit of similarity.
That is, a single bullet entering the giant snake’s body had little to no effect on its strength.
"Ssss!"
The snake’s cries of pain grew much louder, but it still did not turn around.
Its master had commanded it to block outsiders.
Now, one person was about to break through, meaning its task had failed.
Once the task fails, it would surely face the master’s cruel experiments.
That kind of pain was something it never wanted to experience again in this life.
So, it paid no heed to He Zhanyin’s shot and continued heading after Lin Xi’s retreating figure.
"...." He Zhanyin was dumbfounded.
They say animals lack much intelligence.
If you provoke them, they’ll come after you for trouble.
Now, he’d fired a shot, and it still didn’t turn back?
"Bang!" Without hesitation, he fired once more.
Given that the snake was really huge and He Zhanyin’s aim was superb, he hit its body again.
The giant snake screamed once more, still advancing toward Lin Xi.
Although Lin Xi had already disappeared from their sight, meaning he had already gone in.
Nearby, the gambler known as Nine, still bewildered, also fired his gun.
In terms of marksmanship, he was far from Lin Xi’s level, but he could still hit.
And he managed to maintain a ratio of hitting two out of three shots.
Of course, the accuracy wasn’t worth mentioning.
Being able to hit at all was good enough.
He actually hadn’t wanted to fire, not wanting to provoke the giant snake.
Having some understanding of snakes, he knew this huge snake had an extremely strong sense of vengeance.
Now it hadn’t turned around to attack them, which was beyond his expectations.
Could it be that there was something more important to it inside?
And precisely because of this, it ignored them, even when they fired shots at it.
Moreover, he had to deal with it.
Firstly, to buy time for Lin Xi, and because He Zhanyin had already started shooting.
Oh well, come what may!
Luckily, the giant snake didn’t turn around to attack them.
Now, he could shoot freely.
Suddenly, the two of them faintly heard a sound.
Similar to a human calling out.
As soon as this sound arose, they saw the giant snake halt its advance, suddenly turning with blood-red eyes upon them.
Its tongue was extremely long.
Those venomous fangs were exposed.
Fine and sharp, making one’s hair stand on end.
"What’s going on?" Gambler Nine’s face turned pale.
Especially because he had just fired a shot.
Dammit, the giant snake turned around.
Could it be because of the shots he fired?
Beside him, He Zhanyin finished changing the magazine.
Without any hesitation, he started shooting at the giant snake.
But he had just fired twice when the snake disappeared into the weeds.
Unlike just now, it didn’t suddenly rear up its upper body or use its tail to swat people.
So now, it wasn’t exposing any part of its body to the two.
He Zhanyin stopped Gambler Nine from shooting again when he tried.
Because even for him, it was hard to hit a snake slithering at high speed within waist-deep weeds, even if the snake was that large.
"Retreat!"
The next moment, He Zhanyin, without hesitation, pulled Gambler Nine and ran in the direction they came from.
Yes, they ran desperately.
If the giant snake got close, they’d probably have to engage in close combat.
Gambler Nine, lacking strength, could easily be crushed to pieces with just a slight touch from the giant snake.
Even he wouldn’t dare face that snake’s tail whip.
Though if they got close, he might be able to exert some influence.
The giant snake?
Perhaps not necessarily!
He Zhanyin surmised that the snake’s whipping ability was one of its strongest means.
The other strongest method was constricting the target and squeezing them to death.
Because every snake, when they’ve completely wrapped around their prey, their body would unleash astonishing force.
Gambler Nine wasn’t stupid; he immediately followed He Zhanyin in a retreat.
Only if they escaped into the forest, utilizing the terrain and the guns in their hands, would they have a chance at victory.
Luckily, the snake had been hit by a dozen shots from them just now.
Moreover, their gun’s power was much stronger than ordinary handguns.
So the snake’s speed, agility, and even strength had decreased considerably compared to when it wasn’t hurt.
This was their best chance.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the snake.
Such level requires at least the strength of special forces to deal with.
Precisely what level is needed, they couldn’t determine.
Moreover, they placed hope in Lin Xi.
If by any chance they couldn’t handle the giant snake, they must strive for Lin Xi to come out.
As for whether Lin Xi might face danger inside.
The two weren’t much worried.
Don’t be fooled by his young age; his style and strength were beyond what the two could imagine.
Especially He Zhanyin, when so many people in the morning had been taken down by Lin Xi, including three King of Soldiers powerhouses.
So even if this church was more bizarre?
What of it!
They believed Lin Xi could handle it.
Now, they had to consider how to survive under the snake’s clutches.
As soon as Lin Xi stepped into the church, he wasn’t as hurried as before.
This time, he needed first to figure out what was happening inside.
As for any ambush?
To be honest, he wasn’t afraid at all.
Or if there were powerhouses inside, he was unafraid.
Even if the forest held many things terrifying to ordinary people and even special forces, and that giant snake just now, all related to what’s inside the church?
What does that matter!
Confident in his strength, he could overcome anything.
No matter what creatures or ghosts!
No matter what trickery!
Or even Innate powerhouses, it doesn’t matter!
The most crucial thing is the safety of Big Sister!
