Chapter 68: Chapter 25: Giant Snake 1
The old man leading the group seemed to have been eaten by the giant snake as well.
Just as Su Ziyu was hesitating, a loud eagle cry suddenly echoed from the sky. Immediately, a figure clad in a slightly glowing silver armor descended from the heavens, jumping directly from over a hundred meters high. Upon landing, he swung the long spear in his hand and instantly pinned a giant snake to the ground, surrounded by arcs of lightning on the golden long spear.
——"Banish the darkness!" A clear female voice echoed from the sky.
The sky seemed to become a small sun.
The nearby giant snakes frantically retreated into the darkness, followed closely by a massive shadow that suddenly rushed out, raising its body and snapping into the air.
It was a colossal creature over two hundred meters long!
At this moment.
A thought flashed in Su Ziyu’s mind, could York really not be bragging?
Why are the snakes in this world so large?!
Rumble.
Lightning streaked across the night sky, and the figure in the silver armor fiercely threw the golden long spear in his hand. The giant snake over two hundred meters long let out a mournful cry, then a figure leaped out, grasping the spear handle and pulling it out.
Blood splattered!
Bang.
The pitch-black, thick snake tail whistled past, whipping up a gust of wind, and the figure flew backward before even hitting the ground, flying over a hundred meters and crashing into five or six large trees before stopping.
A gasp of alarm came from the sky.
Su Ziyu’s heart also sank at the sight, secretly thinking, "Dead?"
"Such a grand entrance! He can’t have died so quickly, right?"
This guy was almost like a superman.
Su Ziyu had never seen anyone else jump fearlessly from over one hundred meters high.
He shouldn’t die so easily, right?
In the sky.
A dazzling light arrow shot at the giant snake’s head, but it didn’t seem as powerful as imagined, feeling not as effective as Su Ziyu’s anti-material sniper rifle, as it only scorched the snake’s outer skin, with a burnt smell wafting from afar.
Bang!
The muffled sound of gunfire rang out once more.
Su Ziyu shot dead the snake attacking the demi-giant in the distance and shouted, "Retreat over here! Cover me!"
He was now just a shooter, desperately needing a meat shield upfront.
Rumble.
Thunder rang out again.
The figure blown away by the snake tail rushed out again, seemingly not seriously injured, quickly raising the spear and stabbing at the colossal creature before him.
Since his Physical Enhancement reached LV6, Su Ziyu had never seen anyone with a stronger physique than him, unexpectedly encountering such a monster today.
Is this guy really human?
Bang.
Another giant snake was blown away by Su Ziyu’s headshot, noticing that Enhanced Perception seemed to be boosting his Gun Technique, clearly stronger than during the Wasteland World.
"Watch out!"
The demi-giant beside Su Ziyu growled lowly, suddenly leaping out and swinging a giant sword over two meters long.
Blood sprayed.
This demi-giant cleaved half of the giant snake’s body with one sword, then released the grip and rolled away from the whistling snake tail.
Bang.
Another muffled gunshot.
Su Ziyu couldn’t care about the diminishing ammunition problem right now, he shot continuously and killed another snake, forcing back two more.
The frontline meat shield cannot fall.
Otherwise, he would have to wield a knife and engage in melee combat.
Only a headshot could kill these giant snakes instantly; hits on other parts would cause mostly non-lethal damage.
"Dodge quickly!" A worried female voice came from the sky.
——"Time Acceleration!"
Suddenly a sense of danger surged within Su Ziyu’s heart, instinctively activating Time Acceleration and madly running away, as a three to four meters thick snake tail smashed down behind him, creating a pit in the ground.
That was close!
Almost got crushed into pulp.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
The surrounding snakes were becoming fewer, the air filled with a strong, bloody smell, and the giant snake corpses twitched on the ground, with few survivors left in the caravan.
Once the last small snake was finished off by the demi-giant, Su Ziyu turned his gun towards the largest snake.
The armored person deliberately lured the largest snake away.
"The last one."
Su Ziyu took a deep breath and loaded an Armor-Piercing Bullet.
——"Time Acceleration!"
Everything around turned into slow motion frames again. Su Ziyu aimed at the largest snake’s head, shooting calmly, reloading, shooting, reloading, then shooting again.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Blood holes appeared on the snake’s head, letting out a sharp screech and turning to attack Su Ziyu. This big guy’s head was too hard; even Armor-Piercing Bullets couldn’t penetrate it, seemingly blocked by its skull.
"Die!"
Just then, an enraged low growl sounded.
The figure in silver armor leapt, running fast on the giant snake’s huge body, then grasping the spear with both hands and plunging it deeply into the snake’s head.
Boom.
The ground trembled, the snake struggled frantically, twitching, but the man gritted his teeth and held on, finally stopping its struggle after several minutes.
"Phew!"
Su Ziyu sat on the ground, wiping cold sweat from his forehead, muttering, "What’s going on? Why suddenly encounter such terrifying monsters!"
These snakes are too big.
Although lacking special abilities, with only some spraying venom, their massive size also put tremendous pressure on Su Ziyu.
"Are you okay?" A gentle female voice sounded.
A beautiful woman wearing something like a white priest robe descended from the sky, her figure very tall and beautiful, with golden hair.
"Aesir." The demi-giant behind Su Ziyu said in a somewhat wary voice.
"No." The beautiful priestess before him shook her head: "I’m Vanir."
"Don’t worry."
"I won’t harm you."
Hearing their words, Su Ziyu pondered, pointing to the distant snake corpses and asking, "What are those monsters?"
"Offspring of the Biter." The beautiful priestess before him replied softly.
Su Ziyu continued to ask: "What is the Biter?"
"Don’t you know? You have a witch’s scent! Aren’t you with the witch’s people?" This beautiful priestess thought for a moment and patiently explained: "Biters are giant snakes, gnawing the roots of the World Tree along with the Black Dragon—Nidhogg, before the twilight of the gods."
Norse mythology!
Dragons, giants, elves, witches, dwarves, golden apples...
Su Ziyu’s suspicions turned into reality, his expression slightly shocked, dumbfounded as he looked at the beautiful priestess before him and asked: "Are you from the Vanir Race?"
"The age of gods has long ended." The beautiful priestess before him shook her head: "I’m just a Vanir person."
"Priestess of the White Queen."
