Chapter 1222: Pursue to the End
Everyone couldn’t help but feel close to panic, as every tree around them had a snake hanging from it, occasionally stretching down and hissing at everyone, its all-black eyes indicating its nature—it sucked blood.
Lightning and Flame, the two mercenary groups, illuminated the surroundings with flashlights while firing their guns, shooting wooden bullets and arrows indiscriminately since no one knew where the hearts of the snakes were.
At first, the blood-sucking snakes ignored the bullets. They coiled their tails around the trees, stretching down to bite a person, and then forcefully carried them away.
The sounds of wailing grew louder as everyone fought and moved, trying to get as far away from the trees as possible, but ancient tall trees were everywhere—where could they escape to?
Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi met up and glanced at the surroundings—many blood-sucking snakes were dropping down from the trees and then rising back up, each descent and ascent taking away a person. This couldn’t keep going on.
"My God, why are the snakes here so huge?" Gu Fan felt this was a tough situation to handle, even with his abilities, taking down one blood-sucking snake was difficult.
This is what Lin Xi said: "There’s no way around it, the land nourishes its creatures, after all. Try to understand."
"I can understand, but the others can’t," Gu Fan had just finished speaking when a large snake fell down, sweeping its body around and knocking those with guns flying.
Some blood-sucking snakes were even more aggressive, moving straight down from the trees and slithering through the camp, their massive bodies crushing several people into a bloody pulp.
