Inside the Second Legion.
In the frigid monitoring room, a coiled creature was nearly immobilized by the freezing temperature of -40 degrees Celsius. Yet, it still slowly used the tip of its tail to break the thin ice covering its body. Its pupils were a hint of orange-red, and its coiled body was two meters in diameter. If it were fully stretched out, it would be comparable to a fifteen-meter-high building.
The officer guarding the area received the order and called over two soldiers on duty: "The general has ordered us to transfer this infected Hell Python to the Fifth Legion. You two will carry out this mission."
After receiving the order, the two soldiers immediately started to handle the transfer. They had the lowest level of superpowers here, but they were more than capable of handling the transfer. After all, although the Hell Python was infected with dark energy, it had been frozen to the point of being unable to move due to the low temperature.
Their superiors didn't pay much attention to this matter, but when the news came later, they almost wanted to turn around and beat to death the person who gave the order.
Even though the Hell Python was frozen to the point of being unable to move, the two well-trained soldiers were still cautious and careful, and successfully moved the Hell Python to another movable special cage.
The low temperature below 40 degrees Celsius is enough to make growing snakes unable to move for several hours. Even the Hell Python infected by dark energy cannot escape. The Fifth Legion is only about 40 minutes away from the Second Legion. The two people are confident that they can deliver the Hell Python to the Fifth Legion before it recovers.
After the two men successfully transferred the Hellpython, they drove a medium-sized cargo spaceship and slowly pulled the cage containing the Hellpython into the sky. In this way, the cage containing the Hellpython flew from the Second Legion to the Fifth Legion.
When the medium-sized cargo ship was almost halfway there, one of the soldiers was staring at the Hell Python through the surveillance camera. He moved closer in confusion. He felt that the Hell Python's tail was constantly moving, and there seemed to be cracks in the layer of ice covering it.
He blinked, thinking he was seeing things, but when he saw clearly, he immediately shouted frantically, "Quick, prepare the energy cannon. The Hell Python is still able to move. In five minutes at most, it will break through the ice."
Another soldier driving the spaceship solemnly pressed the button to prepare the energy cannon. The four gun barrels turned simultaneously towards the cage, ready to fire. As long as the Hell Python made any unusual movement, they would immediately fire the energy cannon. Such a close distance was enough to cause it serious injuries.
"Connect to the control room, alarm, alarm, the Hell Python infected with dark energy is about to break free, please pay attention, be prepared for battle." After doing this, the soldier driving the spaceship was relieved and carefully drove the spaceship to a place with fewer people.
"Don't worry, it won't be able to cause any big trouble. It will definitely be seriously injured by our energy cannon. After all, the Hell Python's ability level is not very high." The soldier who drove the boat tried to speak in a relaxed tone. The two of them had been in the army for many years and had encountered at least five Hell Pythons, if not ten. He was not really worried. He could escape easily when it was in its mature stage, let alone when it was only in its growth stage.
But surprisingly, his teammates were silent. If the soldier driving the boat turned around to look at him, he would see that his teammates' faces were horrifyingly grim. He stared at the monitor in silence for a full ten seconds before trembling, "What if that's not a Hell Python in the cage?"
The soldier closed his eyes and his face turned terribly pale. He thought it was a simple task, but he didn't expect that they had mistaken the creature.
"What other beast could it be if not a Hell Python?" The teammate who was driving the boat didn't realize how scared he was in his tone, and said it jokingly, until a message suddenly flashed through his mind, the hand controlling the steering suddenly tightened, and his face gradually became ugly.
The Hell Python is particularly similar to another super double S-level beast, the Red Snake King, especially the Hell Python in its growing stage. They are exactly the same as the Red Snake King. If it weren't for the silver color in the Red Snake King's pupils, even people who are very familiar with these two beasts would be confused.
Unable to recover, the soldier driving the boat swallowed hard. His steady hands began to tremble, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Are you sure it's not a Hell Python?!"
The soldier in question was like a wandering soul. He almost jumped up when he heard this and shouted like crazy: "Attack immediately! Attack immediately! Put down the cage. If the Scarlet Snake King is free from the aftereffects of freezing, we will surely die. I don't want to die yet!"
The soldier, practically shouting these words at the top of his lungs, stumbled over and tried to press the launch button, but was stopped by the soldier driving the boat. Although his hands were still shaking, his thoughts were clear: "We can't fire now. The energy cannon has a strong heat effect. The Scarlet Snake King loves heat and is extremely afraid of cold. Firing now will only speed up its thawing. We can only increase our flight speed and try to reach the Fifth Legion as quickly as possible. Now, you must contact the commander of the Fifth Legion immediately and explain the situation clearly. Only then can we have a chance of survival."
"Yes, you are right, we can't launch now." After the initial panic, the soldier regained his senses. He immediately contacted the Fifth Legion and briefly described the matter. At the same time, he shared the surveillance footage with the Fifth Legion so that they could check the situation of the Red Snake King at any time.
"Do you have ice bombs? We can replace the energy cannons with ice bombs. The low temperature caused by ice bombs can definitely exceed 40 degrees." After notifying the Fifth Legion of this emergency, the soldiers' IQs returned to normal. The Hell Python has a higher tolerance to cold, and the Red Snake King likes to survive in a warm and humid environment. Even though their energy far exceeds that of the Hell Python, their thawing speed in the cold is similar to that of the Hell Python, or even slower than that of the Hell Python. Therefore, low temperature is the best way to deal with the Red Snake King.
Ice bombs are generally equipped on military spacecraft, but the soldier didn't know whether this cargo ship had any. He thought anxiously, fearing that his teammates would say the word "no".
Fortunately, God still has mercy on them.
"Yes!" The soldier driving the boat's eyes lit up, and he immediately changed the energy cannon into an ice bomb. Once the Red Snake King was about to escape, they would fire an ice bomb. Four ice bombs could buy them a full twenty minutes. At the current speed, they could barely reach the Fifth Legion.
Zhong Qing was the first to receive the news. His expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Li Chenghu sarcastically, took a step forward with his long legs, and rushed towards the landing field at the edge of the Fifth Legion without saying a word.
"What's going on?" Li Chenghu had just finished saying this when the computer prompted him that there was new news. After reading the news, his face turned pale and he hurried towards Zhong Qing.
The others soon got the news. Zhou Yan shook his head. The Second Legion was getting worse and worse. They couldn't even tell the difference between the Red Snake King and the Hell Python.
After receiving the news, Adjutant Cheng immediately informed He Mo: "Doctor He, this is the current situation. We must contact them at any time to confirm their location."
Adjutant Cheng's face was a little solemn. He didn't expect that what he was waiting for was the Red Snake King instead of the Hell Python. Unlike the Hell Python, the Red Snake King has an extremely high IQ, comparable to that of humans with elite education. It is one of the most powerful alien beast populations in the Alien Beast Forest. If it weren't for the fact that the Red Snake King has a very low reproductive capacity and it takes decades to raise one, the number of Hell Pythons in the Alien Beast Forest would probably drop sharply. That's right, the Red Snake King's staple food is the Hell Python.
Now this Red Snake King is even more terrifying. Infected with dark energy, its destructive power directly surpasses that of a 3s monster. Even a general will be injured if he is not careful.
On this side, on the spaceship, two soldiers, one was keeping a close eye on the movements of the Red Snake King, while the other was speeding up madly to rush to the Fifth Legion at the fastest speed. General Zhong Qing's ability was already 3s, so even if this Red Snake King had been infected with dark energy, he would still be able to fight.
"Fire the last ice bomb, quickly." The soldier who was staring at the Red Snake King was sweating profusely. He didn't even dare to blink, for fear of misjudging the slightest movement.
After pressing the launch button, the soldier driving the boat fired the last ice bomb without hesitation. However, they were still ten minutes away from the Fifth Legion. They actually forgot that this was a red snake king infected with dark energy, and its destructive power was completely incomparable to that of an ordinary red snake king, so they miscalculated the time.
"It's no use." Seeing that the Red Snake King was about to thaw again, the soldiers staring at it sat down on the cold floor with their eyes wide open. They were doomed this time.
"Even if I die, I will drag it to hell with me." The soldier driving the boat was ruthless. He aimed all four energy cannons at the Red Snake King. Even if it was the Red Snake King, so what? He didn't believe that the four energy cannons could not hurt it at such a short distance. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would bite off a piece of flesh from this guy.
"I am Zhong Qing from the Fifth Legion. I order you to immediately sever the connection between the Scarlet Snake King and the spaceship." Zhong Qing's steady and indifferent voice reached the ears of the two soldiers. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief. It was actually Master Zhong Qing...
The cage that held the Red Snake King was shaking continuously, and it squeaked in mid-air as if it couldn't bear the weight, and it successfully disintegrated. The Red Snake King stared at a small black dot above him with hatred, and a long thin flame burst out and whistled towards the small black dot. This small black dot was the spaceship used to migrate the Red Snake King.
The two soldiers who thought they could escape death had not yet completely relaxed their minds when they saw a long flame flying out from the body of the Red Snake King below, which was about to burn the spaceship.
At this moment, the entire space seemed to shake, and the flames that were originally coming towards the two of them suddenly turned and flew in another direction. Not long after flying, they quickly disappeared, as if an invisible giant hand was controlling the flames.
What happened? The two soldiers watched the whole process in horror and didn't even care about the joy of escaping death.
On the ground, a young man was playing with a small flame. His black hair was blown up by the strong wind, revealing his white forehead.
"This flame is pretty good, comparable to the upgraded ice flame of the little golden lion."
However, compared with the Three Flavors True Fire he used in the world of cultivation, there was still a huge difference, just like the difference between the sea and the stream.
"So, this is the red snake king infected by dark energy." He Mo kept walking forward, muttering to himself with some curiosity, looking at a giant snake that covered the sky and the sun falling from the sky, fighting with Zhong Qing from a distance.
