Struggle in the Steam Age

"Where are those damned monsters?" Zhu Yan's first reaction was this. Several wild quilts passed through the fire wall just now and almost burned his clothes, so now Zhu Yan still has lingering fears about those little monsters that look like flying handkerchiefs.

"Forget about those wild quilts." Lawrence said as he opened the mouth of the interspatial bag and released Nora, who had been in contact with the astral plane of the jackal for management. "We are in serious trouble now."

Lawrence was right, because the wild quilts were no longer attacking Lawrence and the others as desperately as before, but were flying around as if they were hiding something extremely dangerous to them. But no one pays attention to them now, because at this moment the rocks and soil on the cave floor exploded violently, and then a huge black shadow emerged from under the soil.

Bang, Zhu Yan was the first to pull the trigger of the rifle in his hand. The incendiary bullet flew out of the gun and hit the upper part of the black shadow, exploding a fist-sized flame. It's just that such an attack has no effect on that behemoth, and that black shadow doesn't even have the slightest basic reaction.

After a large amount of smoke and dust created by the huge black shadow that drilled out of the ground slowly settled down to the ground, Lawrence finally saw what the thing that just rushed out of the ground was.

It was a huge snake-like creature with a length of about 20 meters. Its body was as thick as the trunk of a century-old pine tree. Scattered emerald green scales glowed with the unique radiance of venomous snakes,

Its lower body is coiled up now, and its upper body is stretched high into the air. The triangular flat head turns around in mid-air, and spits out green snake letters from time to time, as if sensing something around it. But the moment the little puppet Nora flew out of the space pocket, the big snake turned its head and stared at the cave where Lawrence and the others were hiding.

"What a sensitive guy." Seeing the giant snake turn its head to look this way, Lawrence immediately knew that the little puppet Nala's special power about gods was being targeted by the giant snake in front of him. Obviously, this extraordinary creature is much better than ordinary humans in terms of perception. No wonder there are legends circulating in this world where certain resources are guarded by extraordinary monsters.

However, other than Lawrence, the people present couldn't think of this at all. In their eyes, being hunted down by guardian monsters during treasure hunting is an inevitable part of the treasure hunting process. So it is reasonable to be stared at by this giant snake that suddenly appeared.

"Get down quickly, everyone." Zhu Yan reacted at this time and shouted, "We are all concentrated here now, it is not easy to dodge or counterattack, and if we are directly blocked at the door, we will not even be able to escape. , so now we must hurry down to the bottom.”

As he spoke, he rushed out of the hole and ran towards the edge of the platform, while the others followed closely behind. But just as Lawrence rushed out of the hole, he saw the giant snake raised its front body towards them, the sides of its neck swelled up, made a whirring sound, and opened its mouth to aim at them.

"Withdraw first." Looking at the giant snake's swollen neck, its wide open mouth and its emerald-like ominous green teeth aimed at them. Lawrence immediately thought of the cobra in his previous life. So he suddenly pulled Zhu Yan and the two ladies in front of him to hide in the cave again.

Just as they retreated to the cave, a yellow-green liquid sprayed out from the python's teeth, forming a mist that looked like withered yellow grass blades, and hit the platform they stood on just now. Fortunately, at this time, everyone The man had already retreated into the hole and blocked the blow with the help of the stone wall.

"Thanks!" First, I felt that the stench from the poison was enough to make people want to vomit. , Zhu Yan thanked Lawrence with some fear. "I didn't expect that guy to spray poison, and the poison is so powerful."

"It's nothing, this is what I should do." After finishing speaking, Lawrence pointed to Safir and pointed to the bottom of the platform. Safiel nodded immediately, then raised his left arm and was the first to rush out of the cave with the arm shield on his arm.

"Follow up." Lawrence gave a light drink to the others, followed Sefiel and rushed out, then jumped off the platform. Although he is not a professional hand-to-hand fighter, the height of five or six meters is not too much of a problem for an official-level transcendent.

And just as he judged, the poisonous mist just now was not a regular attack for this giant snake, and it couldn't breathe continuously at all, so after the surprise attack failed, the giant snake could only quickly swim towards them. Come over and try to engage in close quarters hand-to-hand combat.

Maybe the giant snake just woke up from some kind of dormancy underground, so there was a pause in the middle of a set of smooth movements that should have rushed directly after spewing poisonous mist. As a result, Lawrence and the others took advantage of this pause to leave the narrow platform, allowing the giant snake that should have accurately intercepted Lawrence and the others to rush into the air.

Bah, bah——Several consecutive gunshots flew out of the muzzles in the hands of Lawrence and Zhu Yan, and then hit the giant snake. For such a big goal, it is very difficult to miss it.

Unexpectedly, the body defense of this giant snake is very average. Each bullet can take away pieces of scale and flesh from the giant snake. At the same time, Safiel and Okita Sakura dodged the giant snake's head attack again and again, while slashing at the giant snake with the weapons in their hands.

I have to say that the fighting posture of the two ladies is full of strength and beauty like a Valkyrie, but Lawrence also saw the difference between the two of them: Safir opened and closed with a sword, which seemed to be the kind suitable for the battlefield. swordsmanship. On the other hand, Okita Sakura's swordsmanship tends to be quick and sharp, which should be the kind of skill suitable for street skirmishes and one-on-one duels.

But no matter what kind of swordsmanship it was at this time, it showed great power. The two ladies used the weapons in their hands to create two storms of flesh and blood on the giant snake. Although the giant snake tried to attack them repeatedly, but Its slightly clumsy speed has no effect other than creating one big hole after another on the ground.

Of course, the smooth battle was due to Nora flying in the sky as a reconnaissance drone. Because she relied on the soul connection with Lawrence to send him every detail she saw with the help of a height. Then Lawrence directed everyone to avoid those attacks and launch a counterattack by spotting the signs of the giant snake's attack.

"I always feel that something is wrong?" Although the current battle has a great advantage for Lawrence and the others, both Lawrence and Nora still remember how sensitive the giant snake was when Nora just came out of the space bag. It feels like the giant snake is brewing some conspiracy.

Especially after the battle just now, Nora has basically been able to confirm that this giant snake has an expert-level extraordinary level. But now the ability displayed by the giant snake does not meet the level of an expert extraordinary monster.

Because of this concern, when the giant snake shrank itself into a ball and gave up attacking, under the command of Lawrence, everyone did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Instead, they stepped back vigilantly to distance themselves from the giant snake.

"What should we do next?" Everyone was about ten meters away from the giant snake and looked at the giant snake staring at them in a ball. After staring wide-eyed for more than ten seconds, Zhu Yan held the gun in his hand and asked Lawrence beside him. "Now we will definitely suffer huge losses if we rush forward, but this kind of confrontation obviously won't work. Do you have any good solutions?"
