Chapter 73 Updated on November 9th
Without the attacks of piranhas, Yu Zhu moved forward faster and faster. After rowing for about ten minutes, he entered the center of Area C.
The waters here were obviously much quieter than before. Yu Zhu looked relaxed on the surface, but he was never letting down his guard. Too much silence was not a good thing.
In the wild, the quieter the place, the more dangerous it is. This means that there are no small animals living nearby. There is either no stable food source or there is a fatal survival crisis.
2:15 p.m.
The plastic boat, covered with bite marks, slowly came to a stop near a scarred tree.
It was the tree that Yu Zhu was looking at before setting off. The style of the boat matched the tree very well, and both of them gave the illusion that they were about to break.
She originally wanted to go around it, but when she got closer she realized that she couldn't go around it at all.
This tree grows on a road that must be passed. The closer you get to it, the more you can feel the tree's thickness and vicissitudes.
The trunk of the tree, which would require several people to hug, was carved with several circles of indentations left by years of winding around it.
Even though the tree is suffering from erosion, it is still alive and strong, standing in the water forever. The branches and leaves on the tree are still as green and blooming, as if they can cover half the sky, making people marvel at the tenacious vitality of plants.
Through the various traces on the tree, it can be inferred that the culprit was undoubtedly a big snake. The diameter of the snake's body alone was more than 20 centimeters thick, which made people's scalps tingle.
It's like humans suddenly discovering an unknown giant claw mark in their area of activity. The difference is so huge that it will evoke physiological fear and make people terrified.
The smell around the big tree was also very unpleasant, like a stinking ditch that had been fermenting for decades, especially fishy. If I hadn't rowed all the way in and was somewhat accustomed to the smell, I'm afraid it would have made me faint from the stench, and it's not impossible that I would have been poisoned. It was not much different from a poison gas bomb.
Even Xinni rolled her eyes and almost vomited on the spot, but she still held it in. Compared with the unspeakable stench, there was a more dangerous existence that deserved attention.
Xinni's state also became very agitated. She subconsciously wanted to go forward to check the situation, but was stopped by Yu Zhu.
Area C is more dangerous than the previous two areas. Although Yu Zhu pays great attention to the training of Xinni and gives her a high degree of freedom in this regard, safety must still be ensured. As the saying goes, there is life, there is hope.
At present, Xini is still a cub, and she cannot let Xini take risks. In the movie, the first character who goes out to investigate the situation often does not have a good ending.
Logically, Yu Zhu shouldn't keep the boat in one place for too long, but she always felt that something was wrong with the tree. It was like the entrance to a checkpoint, and her intuition told her not to rush through it like that.
She began to use her eyes to explore the traces left by the snake, trying to determine where it went.
Yu Zhu was wondering if it was the BOSS. This place didn't look like the BOSS's lair, but it must be a place where big snakes often move around.
The best outcome would be to not encounter the snake, but if you think about it, it's unlikely. How can you get a treasure chest without defeating the boss? If exploring the island was that easy, so many players wouldn't have died.
As her sight gradually moved upwards, Yu Zhu's heartbeat became faster and faster. She saw a piece of snake skin that almost merged with the branch. The color was similar, and it was easy to confuse them if you didn't look carefully.
She wanted to mistake it for a snake's skin, but she saw the tip of the drooping tail.
Yu Zhu: The snake is coiled on the tree!
The next second, Xinni bared her teeth, and a huge snake head silently dropped from above her head. Before the snake could fully open its mouth, Xinni pounced on it with extraordinary swiftness and bit it, and the whole leopard was hanging on the snake's head.
The big snake suddenly felt pain and felt a heavy object behind its head. It wanted to throw the heavy object away in annoyance, and Xinni was also shaken violently in the air.
Yu Zhu reacted quickly as well. Almost the moment Xinni made a move, she took out an axe and chopped at her.
The axe hit the snake right on the forehead, making a crisp collision sound. It was so hard that it seemed like it had hit a stone. The snake could not be said to be unscathed, at most its skin was broken.
Others might have felt a chill in their hearts, but Yu Zhu had no time to think. He instinctively chopped the opponent hard, and the "clang clang clang" sound continued to be heard. If you didn't know, you might think he was hitting a wooden fish.
The snake's head was filled with echoes:???
There is a folk saying that goes, "A random punch can kill a master."
The big snake was hurt after all. Maybe the damage was not great at first, but it could not withstand her persistence and was about to suffer a concussion. Who could stand someone hacking at their head?
The whole snake moved like a chain reaction. As the snake felt pain, its body began to wriggle continuously, and the whole tree trembled.
Fortunately, Yu Zhu didn't go over directly, otherwise she would have been attacked from behind.
Although Yu Zhu's strength is not as good as the big snake, he should not be underestimated. The only difference is that the axe is not sharp enough. But as long as he can hurt it, there will be no worries about finding a breakthrough.
His arms even swung out afterimages, and after several consecutive blows, the big snake could no longer bear it and had to retract its head. Yu Zhu also caught Xinni who let go in time.
The light snake immediately went into berserk mode. This time it had obviously learned its lesson. It mobilized its huge body and used its tail to attack.
The tail was thick and agile, and Yu Zhu's speed was no joke. She was very flexible and dodged the sweep with a bend of her waist, and then dodged the snake's tail's pursuit by moving sideways.
After failing to hit Yu Zhu three times in a row, the big snake was obviously a little frustrated. It saw that Yu Zhu was using the plastic boat as its basis, so it immediately swung its tail towards the plastic boat.
The plastic boat, which was already on the verge of collapse after being bitten by the piranhas, could not withstand the blow and was directly broken into two halves, completely scrapped.
Yu Zhu was unable to fold the boat. Realizing its intention, he jumped up, grabbed the nearest vine in his hand, and jumped onto the adjacent tree. Xinni also found a tree to land on.
The big snake naturally would not give up. Seeing a man and a leopard standing on two trees respectively, it was not entangled at all. Its goal was clear. There was only Yu Zhu in its eyes. Its head was buzzing with the knocks, and it wished it could eat her alive!
It squirmed its snake body and climbed directly towards Yu Zhu's tree through the branches between the trees. The branches were obviously unable to bear its weight.
Yu Zhu: "Look at this poor little branch."
The big snake was confused:?
Immediately afterwards, Yu Zhu possessed Draven and threw a flying axe, accurately hitting the snake's body and branches.
He threw it out with full force, causing not only the snake to feel pain but also the branch to be cut in half, knocking half of the snake's body into the water.
It was furious and took the water route to continue attacking Yu Zhu.
When ordinary people see a snake thicker than their thigh in the water swimming towards them quickly, they would probably be scared to death.
Yu Zhu looked calm, with an intermediate bow and arrow in his hand. He fired three arrows at once, and the arrowheads penetrated the snake's body, but it had no effect on the snake's speed.
If he could see the health bar, Yu Zhu might have just scraped it a little, after all, he didn't hit the vital points.
This was just the beginning. A series of attacks might have reduced one-tenth of the enemy's health. The scene was once desperate, but Yu Zhu was not anxious at all. She knew that being anxious was useless and she still had to come up with a solution.
Although the damage caused by the bow and arrow is not much, it is still better than the stone axe.
Yu Zhu skillfully used the power of the vines to start his kite journey, swinging on several nearby trees and taking the opportunity to shoot arrows.
No matter how fast the big snake was, it couldn't catch up with her for the time being because of its large body. The angry big snake wanted to strangle the trees in half, but the trees that survived to this day were quite old and might be older than the snake.
The big snake could only break off branches and clear away vines. When it started doing this, Yu Zhu suddenly had an idea.
She wanted to see the bow again.
This time, Yu Zhu intentionally circled the big snake with vines and used himself as bait to lure it in front. He strictly controlled the distance every time, letting the big snake get closer and closer to him. Just when the big snake thought it was going to eat Yu Zhu, it was suddenly strangled by a brute force and its neck was tightly grasped.
It turned back angrily and saw the snake's body tied into a knot.
Big Snake:?
Before it could figure out what was going on, the vines tightened again, and the snake's head was completely strangled by the snake, unable to move.
This situation is like a guillotine.
A sharp pain came from the back of its head. When it raised its snake head, the last scene it saw was Yu Zhu, who was holding an axe in both hands and had red eyes.
By the time the snake's head was chopped off, Yu Zhu's body was covered in blood.
Before she could catch her breath, she felt a sudden chill on her head and was covered by a huge shadow.
An even more suffocating stench came over me, like a dead fish fished out of a cesspool.
A drop of mucus of unknown composition fell on Yu Zhu's shoulder, burning a hole in his coat.
She picked up the snake head in her hand and stuffed it behind her, along with the axe, trying to block the creature's big mouth and see its true appearance.
As it turned out, calling the snake Yu Zhuguan just called a big snake was an understatement. The one in front of it was a small snake, twice the size of the small snake.
The moment they looked at each other, she knew that this was the BOSS of Area C.
If it is a slow process for an ordinary snake to swallow a large prey, then for the BOSS snake, it would be as easy as a human eating a sausage.
The small one is killed, and now a big one is coming.
