Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 75 - 69: Duel with the Twin Pythons!
Chapter 75: Chapter 69: Duel with the Twin Pythons!
“Stone armor” is no exaggeration!
As everyone focused their attention, the gray serpent was indeed covered with a heavy, rock-like scale armor!
The gunfire startled the twin serpents who were about to return to their nest.
“Watch out!” Su Qi’s pupils constricted sharply, shouting a warning!
The four of them felt their scalps explode as they instantly dashed towards cover.
Almost simultaneously, two gray shadows shot from the serpent’s mouths like cannonballs, crashing fiercely at the spot where they had just stood!
Boom! Boom!
The ground was blasted into two shallow pits, dust swirling in the air.
Su Can glanced into the pit and saw two fist-sized, hard rocks embedded there!
Before they could catch their breath, the sound of something slicing through the air began again!
Rumble!
Liu Jun dodged while retaliating with his handgun, but the bullets merely sparked and pitted the rock-like scales of the serpents.
“Damn it! We need to get close!”
The old man cursed and decisively abandoned his gun, drawing the heavy axe from his back.
Su Qi wielded his long sword and said helplessly, “If only we could divide and conquer…”
“Stop dreaming!” Liu Jun interrupted, “These two are obviously inseparable, male and female twin beasts!”
Meanwhile, Su Can’s voice pierced through the battlefield:
“We’re targeting the larger female serpent! The smaller male serpent is yours!”
“Got it!” Liu Jun shouted in response.
The two rock pythons were thoroughly enraged, their gray shadows flashing like lightning as they rapidly closed in, continuously spitting out lethal stones!
Su Can and Su Qi sprung into action almost simultaneously, darting left and right like arrows from a bow, with their great swords raised high, making a fierce assault on their respective serpent heads!
The air was compressed by the immense force, emitting an ear-piercing explosion!
The serpents were also highly coordinated, their thick tails producing a deep roar as they met the attack head-on!
Bam——!!!
Like thunderstorm on flat ground!
Where the swords and tails collided, an airwave exploded into a ring-shaped white mist!
The rock serpents emitted painful screeches, while Su Family’s father and son were sent flying back even faster from the immense force!
“Yaxin! Go!” Liu Jun roared, his skinny figure bursting with muscles, tearing his shirt!
The tiles underfoot shattered, as he swung the mighty axe, charging towards the larger female serpent with incredible force!
Cold as ice, Zhao Yaxin’s elegant face was frosty, tightly gripping her long saber, its blade emitting an unstable aura.
With her long legs kicking off the ground, her petite form shot forward like lightning, reaching the side of the female serpent in the blink of an eye!
With a clear shout, the saber light was like the Milky Way cascading down, precisely slashing towards the serpent’s tail—the spot where Old Su had earlier split open with the great sword!
The female serpent roared in furious pain, its bloody mouth carrying a foul wind, lunging like an uncontrollable vehicle!
Zhao Yaxin was about to dodge when a towering figure fearlessly blocked her front!
With a great sword in hand, it descended with the force to tear mountains apart!
Boom——!!!
The great sword smashed into the earth, spraying rocks violently!
“Hmph! A quick dodge!” Su Can’s beard and hair stood up, his aura fierce like a tiger!
On the other side, Su Qi and Liu Jun took turns tangling with the male serpent, their sword and axe shadows intertwined, the serpent’s body rolling and biting in dangerous chaos!
Zhao Yaxin knew that her combat experience was lacking, merely possessing the necessary level, while her palm gripping the saber was slick with cold sweat, her heartbeat like a drum.
“Don’t panic! Watch my moves!” Su Can shouted deeply and charged again.
Zhao Yaxin took a deep breath, forcibly calming herself, her eyes fixed on Old Su and the serpents’ combat trajectories, seeking gaps and waiting for a chance to strike.
The four fought fiercely against the two serpents, with thunderous noises echoing for hundreds of meters!
The battle visibly in deadlock.
The mutant beasts already had superior stamina, especially as Tier One pests!
On Su Can’s side, Liu Jun and Zhao Yaxin still managed to hold on, but Su Can suffered from a rare poison, and Su Qi had old injuries.
If it dragged on, their injuries would surely become a fatal weakness!
Two hundred meters away, atop a sand dune.
Su Lin half-kneeled like a stone statue, holding the crossbow mechanism steadily, highly concentrated, his gaze sharp as a hawk.
The battle had persisted for over ten breaths, yet he hadn’t launched an arrow.
Firstly, because grandfather and the others hadn’t been pushed into a situation requiring his long-range intervention to avert a deadly crisis.
The second reason is that he holds his breath, focused on finding that decisive opportunity—he wants to pierce the Rock Python’s brain with a single arrow!
Acting rashly would only alert the snake.
Su Qi and the others have no idea what he’s thinking, and no one expects him to kill this thick-skinned monster.
Seeing him remain motionless actually brings relief, for fear he might lose his nerve, expose his position, and become the snake’s target.
It must be known, if the Tier One Rock Python is determined to crush Su Lin, even if all four of them work together, they may not be able to protect him completely.
In terms of strength, only Old Su Can can confront a snake head-on, but the opponent… is two!
At this moment, Su Qi’s face has turned an abnormal reddish flush, and that iron-like body shows signs of slight sluggishness.
Old wounds are being stirred by the fierce combat, silently corroding his fighting strength.
Liu Jun, who constantly monitors him, feels a sudden sinking in his heart!
Looking at Old Su Can, he still seems vigorous and lively, and the poison does not appear to manifest, yet it is difficult to end the battle quickly.
If things continue like this, either they endure the pain and withdraw, or… wait for Su Qi’s injury to fully break out!
If they retreat, whether Zhong Wubin or Quanzhou Village, once they learn a Tier One Mutant Beast resides here, this tantalizing prize will surely change hands!
Seeing the male python with bloodied mouth about to attack, Liu Jun’s eyes flash with determination!
He suddenly abandons the giant axe in his hands, advancing instead of retreating, charging straight into the stench!
The Rock Python opens its massive mouth, as if to swallow him whole!
“Hey ya—!!!”
Liu Jun’s eyes burn red, letting out a beast-like roar!
His muscles knot like two iron pincers, gripping the python’s upper and lower jaws tightly!
“Old Liu!!”
Su Qi is shocked beyond belief.
Liu Jun’s face turns crimson as blood, neck veins bulging, clinging tightly as he yells:
“Quick! Tear apart its mouth!!”
The situation shifts in an instant!
Su Qi grits his teeth and prepares to thrust with his sword!
But the python, realizing it’s restrained, fiercely swings its head and massive tail!
Liu Jun puts all his strength into it, his face twisted and contorted, barely managing to completely lock its head!
Old Su Can notices the dire situation over here and urgently shouts:
“Yaxin! Go!!”
Though inexperienced, Zhao Yaxin remains extremely calm, decisively abandoning her blade, arms spreading wide as she fiercely grips the python’s body, thick as a barrel!
Upon contact, the immense force strikes her throat sweet, spurting blood, yet she grits her teeth and refuses to let go!
“Ah—!!” Zhao Yaxin lets out a scream unlike her usual self, her usually cold and elegant face now flushed and distorted with effort!
Liu Zhao, teaming up, manage to momentarily suppress the male python, rendering it immobile!
A chance not to be missed!
Su Qi’s eyes widen, hands gripping the tapered great sword, his waist bending like a bow as he channels all his strength and Qi into the sword tip, fiercely thrusting into that wide open bloody maw!
The great sword pierces the python’s mouth!
The Rock Python’s pupils suddenly shrink to needlepoints!
This is the moment!!!
Two hundred meters away, atop a sand dune.
Su Lin’s breath seems to fade into silence, the whole world reduced to the anguished expansion of the python’s nostrils.
Suddenly, inspiration strikes, his Qi bubbling inexplicably, utilizing the “Soldier” method, concentrating Qi and blood into the crossbow, ultimately gathering onto the arrow.
The slender arrow seems to ignite with invisible fire, the air wave flickering.
Lock on firmly!
Trigger pulled!
Bowstring vibrates!
Crossbow arrow shoots through the air!
Thud—!
The arrow tip precisely plunges into the python’s nasal cavity, blood spraying out like a fountain!
Following that, an unsettling sound of bone shattering as the arrow embeds deeply, driving straight into the brain matter!
Then, a muffled bang, like a grenade exploding, the python’s body convulses rigidly.
Su Qi, in full thrust with his sword, first stunned by the sight, then surging joy fills his heart—Su Lin, that little brat!!!
He immediately roars, “Release! Withdraw!!!”
