Chapter 253: One-Eyed Brother of One-Ear
Fang Xiaocao laughed for a while before picking up her communicator and sending a message to Taotie.
[Fang Xiaocao: Um…]
[Fang Xiaocao: Find a way out yourself!]
Fang Xiaocao wanted to help Taotie too.
But she was also powerless to do anything, so she could only tell Taotie to find a way out of danger himself.
Receiving Fang Xiaocao’s message, Taotie was on the verge of tears. He was stuck in the crevice, as miserable as Monkey King under the Five Fingers Mountain.
Both were pressed down by mountains. How could he, a mere mortal, do anything when even Monkey King couldn’t break free?
But since his princess had given him an order, Taotie couldn’t disobey.
[Taotie: Yes, my princess!]
Taotie replied with a message, put the communicator in his pocket, and started struggling like a fat maggot, trying to wriggle his way out.
But despite his best efforts, he could only wriggle himself out a tiny bit from the rock wall.
Still, at least he could move.
“Phew~”
Taotie exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He mustered all his strength and continued wriggling like a fat maggot.
Fang Xiaocao put down her communicator and watched Tom and Hummingbird bravely fighting the giant snake.
The scene!
The realism!
The shock factor!
It was much more exciting than any blockbuster movie.
A truly immersive experience…
If Tom and Hummingbird knew what their princess was thinking, they would probably cry.
It was indeed an immersive experience.
They could even smell the snake’s foul breath.
Wasn’t that immersive enough?
There was nothing more immersive than this.
Tom had almost counted all the parasites on the giant snake’s body.
The giant snake’s thick tail swung like a thousand troops, heading straight for Tom.
The snake’s tail was thicker than Tom’s waist. If he were hit, it would probably break his back.
Tom didn’t dare to clash head-on with the giant snake.
He quickly rolled to the side.
Hummingbird seized the opportunity, leaped onto the snake’s back, and grabbed the handle of Taotie’s machete, which was still stuck in the snake’s back.
Hummingbird tried to pull out the machete, but it was stuck too deep. With her strength, she couldn’t pull it out. Instead, her movement of pulling the machete caused the snake pain, so the snake abandoned Tom and turned to bite Hummingbird.
Seeing the abyss-like mouth approaching, Hummingbird had to give up on pulling out the machete and quickly jumped off the snake, rolling to the side.
Seeing that Hummingbird had attracted the snake’s attention, Tom immediately turned around, jumped onto the snake’s back, and reached for the machete handle.
Tom and Hummingbird had the same goal: Taotie’s machete.
It wasn’t that Taotie’s machete was so important.
It was just that Tom needed a weapon.
His black dagger was too short.
It couldn’t do any damage to the giant snake.
Even if he tried to stab through the gaps between the snake’s scales, he couldn’t pierce its flesh.
Tom’s other weapons were a pistol and a pack of bombs. While the gun was useful, it couldn’t effectively damage the snake.
Besides, he had limited bullets and needed to save them for the Ragnarok mercenaries and the Nemesis people.
Compared to the giant snake, bullets were far more deadly to humans.
However…
Tom had overestimated his strength.
Hummingbird couldn’t pull out the machete, and neither could he.
The sharp pain on its back made the snake, which was chasing Hummingbird, stop and turn to bite Tom.
Seeing the snake charging at him again, Tom pulled out his gun and fired two shots at the snake.
Two hot bullets flew out.
Heading straight for the snake.
Tom put away his gun, jumped off the snake’s back, and rolled to the side.
He had just taken a chance.
He wanted to see if he could trade two bullets for the snake’s two eyes.
Blinding the snake would make it go crazy, but it would also be more advantageous for them.
At least they would have more room for error when being chased by the snake and wouldn’t have to worry about being killed by it accidentally.
“Hiss~”
The snake let out a painful hiss.
Tom, who had just landed safely, heard the sound and turned to look at the snake, discovering good news and bad news.
The good news was that he had hit it! And accurately hit the snake’s eye.
The bad news was…
Tom had only hit one of the snake’s eyes.
The snake had now become the one-eyed brother of One-Ear from Black Cat Detective.
Snake and rat brothers, a fitting pair.
Seeing this, Tom couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
They were doomed.
The snake was going to go crazy.
But contrary to his expectations, the snake was crazy but still had one eye.
Its vision was obstructed, but not much.
The snake still had one eye to chase him with!
Without time to think, Tom ran.
No kidding, if he stayed, he would be swallowed alive by the snake.
The next second!
The snake’s head slammed over.
The stench of snake blood made Tom nauseous.
Seeing Tom being chased, Hummingbird immediately came to help.
She wanted to distract the snake.
But…
The snake’s grudge was far beyond their imagination. No matter how Hummingbird attacked and harassed it from behind, the snake ignored her.
Seeing this, Hummingbird gritted her teeth, jumped onto the snake’s back, and used her katana to stab into the snake’s body through the gaps between its scales.
Hummingbird refused to believe that the snake wouldn’t feel pain if she bled it.
Hummingbird stabbed into the snake’s body with her katana.
Blood spurted out!
This time, the snake responded as she wanted.
However…
The price was high!
So high that Hummingbird lost her katana.
The moment Hummingbird stabbed into the snake’s body, the snake did a death roll, throwing her off its back.
Hummingbird didn’t even have time to pull out her katana.
She rolled on the ground several times before getting up, dizzy.
Looking at her katana, which was stuck on the snake’s back with Taotie’s machete, Hummingbird was on the verge of tears: “Isn’t this like losing both my wife and my troops?”
The snake gave Hummingbird a cold stare.
Literally one stare!
The snake only had one eye left.
It couldn’t even see with two eyes if it wanted to.
The stare made Hummingbird shudder.
Because she saw disdain in the snake’s eye.
An absurd thought popped into Hummingbird’s head: “This snake has intelligence!”
And very high intelligence!
It was just playing with them.
In other words…
Teasing them!
If this thought was true…
It would be too terrifying!
“Tom, it seems to have intelligence…”
Hummingbird said to Tom, her voice trembling.
Tom, who had just caught his breath, was stunned and subconsciously asked, “What did you say?”
