Chapter 104 Fierce Battle Against the Two-Headed Serpent
"It's too late to drive!" Lin Yan gritted her teeth, looking at the dark wilderness outside. That thing moved at an astonishing speed; starting the car now would only make them sitting ducks. "Use buildings for defense!"
Before the words were even finished, a huge shadow had already torn through the night and appeared at the edge of the empty parking lot of the service area!
That was a giant snake!
Its entire body is covered with thick, metallic scales that are black and gray in color. Its waist is thicker than a gasoline barrel, and its length is definitely over twenty meters!
What's most chilling is that two enormous heads have splintered out of its neck! One head is dark red, with snake eyes like burning embers, hissing and spewing out scorching air and sparks.
The other head was a deep blue, with serpentine eyes as cold as ice, venomous fangs in its mouth, and the surrounding air seemed to be covered in frost.
A fourth-tier mutated two-headed snake! It possesses both fire and ice attributes!
It was clearly drawn by the vibrant life force in the service area and the energy of Ruan Ning, a fourth-tier ability user. Its two heads and four eyes instantly locked onto the group of people and a dog at the convenience store entrance, its cold killing intent and greed undisguised.
"Hiss—ha—!" The dark red fire head let out a sharp hiss, suddenly opened its huge mouth, and an extremely hot, crimson pillar of fire with a diameter of more than half a meter shot out like a volcanic eruption towards the convenience store!
"Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor!" Ruan Ning was prepared. He pushed his hands forward and unleashed his fourth-order water-based superpower without reservation! Instantly, a huge, thick, rapidly flowing dark blue water curtain rose in front of the convenience store, like an inverted waterfall!
"boom--!!!"
The pillar of fire crashed violently against the water curtain, unleashing a deafening roar and billowing white steam!
The water curtain trembled violently, its surface evaporating and thinning due to the intense heat, but the pure energy of the fourth-order water system managed to withstand this terrifying attack! Ruan Ning's face turned pale; she had exhausted herself.
Almost at the same time that the fire started its attack, the dark blue ice head also moved!
With a flick of its head, it spewed out a pale blue stream of freezing air. It didn't attack in a straight line, but spread out in a fan shape. Wherever it passed, the ground instantly froze into a thick layer of white frost, ice crystals filled the air, and the temperature plummeted!
The cold wave targets not only people, but also the ground and buildings, restricting their movement!
"Watch your step!" Zhou Min screamed a warning, desperately trying to disrupt Bingtou's attack accuracy with her mental energy.
Lin Yan had already leaped out, channeling her second-level strength into her legs and forcefully pushing off the ground, narrowly avoiding the main area covered by the cold wave. However, her trouser legs were instantly covered with a layer of ice, causing her movement to pause slightly.
Seizing the opportunity when the fire's attack was blocked and the ice head spewed out cold air, the raging fire roared and pounced out!
Instead of attacking the massive snake body directly, it transformed into a burning golden lightning bolt and hurtled straight at the dark red flame!
A third-tier fire elemental versus a fourth-tier fire elemental—both share the same elemental origin. Although the Great Fire is of a slightly lower tier, its beastly fighting instincts and mastery of flames are exceptionally high. It unleashed a condensed stream of crimson and white flames, not a direct confrontation, but rather a persistent, venomous attack that coiled around the Fire's eyes and nostrils—its most vulnerable areas!
The fire head was entangled by the raging fire and had to temporarily abandon its long-range attack. It angrily twisted its head and engaged in close combat with the fire, with flames colliding and sparks flying everywhere.
The pressure has eased slightly, but the crisis is far from over.
Seeing that the cold current had failed to freeze its prey, Icehead's eerie blue eyes flashed with a cold light, and its massive tail lashed out like a steel whip, whistling through the air! If that strike landed, the entire building could collapse!
"Split apart!" Ruan Ning shouted, charging towards the snake's tail!
"The water accelerates!" Her steps became unsteady, as if she were walking on flowing water. Her speed increased sharply, and she narrowly avoided the frontal lash of the snake's tail. At the same time, the Tang horizontal sword in her hand shimmered with a rich water light, transforming into a giant water blade several meters long, which slashed fiercely at the middle of the snake's tail!
"clang--!!!"
A piercing clang of metal clashing!
The water blade struck the scales, but it only cut less than halfway in before being blocked by the hard bones and muscles!
Ice Head winced in pain, and its snake tail lashed violently, sending Ruan Ning flying, sword and all! Ruan Ning adjusted its body in mid-air, the water shield cushioning its fall. After landing, it staggered a few steps, a sweet taste rising in its throat, which it forcefully suppressed.
The defensive power of these scales is beyond imagination!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yan rushed in from the side, concentrating all her strength on the tip of her knife, and fiercely stabbed at the relatively soft throat area below the ice head!
But Icehead reacted extremely quickly, jerking back abruptly. Lin Yan's knife only pierced the gap in the scales on the side of her neck, failing to penetrate further. Icehead angrily swung her head, charging at Lin Yan! Lin Yan blocked with her knife, but was sent flying with a "bang," crashing into an abandoned gas pump, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
Zhou Min desperately tried to use her mental power to attack Bing Tou's consciousness, but the fourth-tier mutated beast had extremely strong mental resistance, which could only cause brief agitation and hesitation, and could not effectively interfere.
She was extremely anxious when she saw Lin Yan injured, but she was helpless.
On the other side, the battle between the fire and the flames was also extremely fierce.
The fire was agile, but the difference in strength was obvious. It had several burns from the flames and cuts from the snake's fangs, and its golden fur was charred black. But it fought to the death, clinging tightly to the flames to buy time for Ruan Ning and the others.
Ruan Ning wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes icy cold. Conventional attacks were too difficult to break through her defenses; continuing to wear her down would surely lead to death. She remembered her newly acquired ability—controlling liquids.
This giant snake is enormous and incredibly resilient, but... where is its blood?
A crazy idea popped into her head. She needed an opportunity, she needed to find a weakness in the two-headed snake, she needed to concentrate all her mental energy and water-based powers to break through its surface defenses and energy protection, and directly affect its blood!
"Lin Yan! Zhou Min! Fire!" Ruan Ning shouted hoarsely, "Create an opportunity for me! Attack the junction of its two heads! Or expose a bigger opening! I want to take it down in one go!"
Lin Yan wiped away the blood, gritted her teeth, and charged forward again, no longer seeking to inflict fatal wounds, but instead harassing Bing Tou by repeatedly slashing at his eyes and nostrils with her knife.
Zhou Min transformed all her mental energy into a sharp thorn, ignoring the backlash, and fiercely stabbed it into the consciousness of the ice head, causing its movements to become even more rigid.
The fire roared furiously, and despite being bitten by the flames, it pounced on the side of the flames, biting down hard on a piece of scales below its neck and tearing at it wildly, with flames drilling into the wound!
The two-headed snake was enraged by the desperate counterattack of the three people and the dog. Its two heads thrashed wildly, and its body twisted violently, trying to strangle or swat away the annoying insects.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
