Chapter 497 - 497 378 Headshot

497: Chapter 378: Headshot 497: Chapter 378: Headshot Facing the monster’s fierce attack, Hu Peng completely disregarded his image and threw the opponent’s tail away, executing a maneuver akin to a lazy donkey rolling on the ground.

The snake monster bit into the air and didn’t continue the chase, but instead turned its head towards Xun You.

It knew who the greatest threat to itself was.

Xun You’s recent use of the Violent Spirit Technique was exceedingly effective; the creature now had a large patch of blood on its chest and its movements had also become somewhat sluggish.

As he came into close contact with the snake monster, Hu Peng was able to sense that the creature seemingly had no Dark Energy Fluctuation without even using the Spirit Detection Technique.

Lacking Dark Energy Fluctuation naturally meant there was no Dark Energy protection, hence the vulnerability when facing the attack of the Violent Spirit Technique, as its body was pierced through completely.

Seeing it go after Xun You again, Hu Peng hurriedly took three steps as two and ran over, grabbing its tail and desperately dragging it back to prevent it from leaving.

The snake monster became increasingly annoyed and turned to bite him once more.

Seeing this, Hu Peng quickly scrambled to get away.

Thus, this cycle repeated several times.

Finally, the snake monster grew furious; it no longer cared about the threat that Xun You posed and was single-mindedly persistent in chasing after Hu Peng.

“Dog, my aggro is solid!

Hurry up!”

Hu Peng shouted while running circles around a large olive tree, planning to mimic King Qin and show off some flamboyant dodging skills.

However, reality differed from the script, as the snake monster’s body was long enough to easily encircle the entire tree.

As a result, the moment Hu Peng finished running around the tree, he ran smack into the monster’s tail and was unexpectedly whipped away.

The snake monster, wanting to press its advantage, aimed to bite the annoying pest to death in one go.

“Fox, I’m ready!

Make it stop; I can’t shoot accurately if it keeps moving!”

Xun You’s voice rang out, with a hint of purple light flickering at his fingertips.

Hu Peng did not halt even for a moment, dodging the monster’s lunge in a flash, and then picking up a small tree that had been knocked over from the ground, he roared and swung it over.

“Bang!”

The giant snake was hit hard.

It involuntarily stopped, shook its head, and was about to charge at the bothersome little thing in front of it to tear it apart.

“Quick!

Now’s the time!”

Hu Peng shouted loudly.

“Hiss~”

The purple light flared once more, this time representing Xun You’s last bit of energy, aiming straight for the giant snake’s head.

In almost an instant, the head of the giant snake was penetrated.

The skull, which even bullets couldn’t penetrate, appeared so fragile when faced with the attack of the Violent Spirit Technique.

Jannan watched the entire process from the side, with an expression that was nothing short of spectacular.

His attention had been entirely on Hu Peng, whose terrifying constitution almost had Jannan’s jaw dropping in astonishment.

Wrestling the giant snake with his bare hands, this up-close visual effect made Jannan feel like he was still dreaming.

He even began to doubt whether the past few decades of his life had been in vain.

Yet, when he saw that flash of purple light, his entire worldview began to crumble.

When the second Violent Spirit Technique was used, his eyes widened, he watched intently all the way through.

Now Jannan finally understood what the person by his side was doing — those strange movements he was making were for casting spells!

“Does this world truly have Mages…

What’s their background?

Why are they looking for me?

Could it be related to my grandfather?”

He couldn’t help but think of the emblem on the tombstone, which seemed to have excited the two mysterious young men when they saw it.

Some speculations about the truth of the matter began to emerge in Jannan’s mind.

He was a smart man, and by now had guessed at some of the situation through their previous conversation and everything that was happening now.

However, the thought was a bit too exaggerated, and for a moment it felt somewhat absurd.

Yet, with the facts staring him in the face, he had no choice but to believe.

After the Snake Monster was hit in the head by Xun You’s Burst Spirit Skill, it immediately lost its strength and collapsed onto the ground.

Its massive body struggled weakly a few times before becoming completely motionless.

“Is it dead?”

Not far away, members of the Wildfire Team cautiously returned.

However, since they weren’t sure whether the monster was truly dead or just feigning, they didn’t dare to approach rashly.

They were out of bullets now, not even able to make a probing attack.

At the scene, there was someone who was not afraid of it, that was Hu Peng, who had activated Constitution Enhancement.

Hu Peng had slowly approached the corpse of the giant snake and after a careful inspection, he signaled to everyone that it was safe.

“Shit!

What on earth is going on?

I almost got eaten by a giant snake longer than ten meters in an oasis of the desert!”

Ciro muttered incessantly as he walked, trying to use this as a way to alleviate the fear in his heart.

“Weiss!

Do you know something?

About all this…

How can you be so calm?”

“Look at Mikel, he’s pretty calm too.”

“Pfft, he’s just stoic!

I saw his hands trembling just now!”

Ciro said with a sneer.

“Could it be the kind of monster you mentioned last time?”

Weiss walked over to the side of the giant snake, examined the terrifying creature, and then responded:

“I did tell you guys, but you didn’t believe me at the time.”

“Especially you, Ciro!

Weren’t you the one who mocked me, saying my brain was smashed by a car door?

What now?

Who was the one running and crying like a little girl, shouting ‘Weiss, save me’?”

Hearing this, Ciro’s face turned somewhat sheepish.

He first murmured that he hadn’t cried, then wisely changed the subject, turning everyone’s attention back to the monster.

“Err…

you two bosses, how exactly did you do that?

Are you Supermen?

Did you come here specifically to look for these monsters?”

His questions evidently struck a chord, even Jannan couldn’t help but shift his gaze from the Snake Monster and curiously turned to look at the two mysterious young men.

Hu Peng was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly before showing a hint of disappointment and standing up from the ground.

He had just tried to activate the Eye of the Starry Sky Engraving’s power, but it failed to purify the monster.

“So these guys really aren’t from Other Dimension.

Then where on earth could they be coming from?

Could it be that mutations are really starting to occur on Water Blue Star too?”
