Chapter 394: Giant Snake (Part 5)
Everyone gradually reported some situations, and Yang Xiao also gained a rough understanding.
"Okay, I have a general understanding of the situation. Based on the current circumstances, we must concentrate our forces and focus on defending the districts of Nanmu City and Shanyun City, concentrating major populations and troops to create a certain space for activities, giving everyone a sense of safety. If every place needs people for defense, our forces will be spread too thin, and everyone will not be able to withstand it. As for those scattered Gene Store strongholds, we only need to station some people inside the orange light for now. As for the monsters outside, just let them roam freely for now; sooner or later, they will become our prey."
Everyone nodded in agreement after listening.
In fact, Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, and others had thought of doing this too, but firstly, things had happened too suddenly, and secondly, Yang Xiao was not at home. For such a major event, everyone felt uneasy making decisions on their own. Yang Xiao was the City King, and when he left, he entrusted the two cities to everyone. When he returned, only two isolated cities were left. Everyone was afraid of letting Yang Xiao down, so they had been reluctant to give up the scattered outposts.
Now that Yang Xiao proposed this, everyone immediately felt a sense of relief.
"Alright, our key focus today is to deal with the Giant Snake at Kongming Bridge. We absolutely cannot allow a powerful monster to guard inside my city. Otherwise, what's the point of me being the King of the two cities?" Yang Xiao said.
As soon as the Giant Snake was mentioned, everyone's expressions turned grim.
"Gong Yu, I've heard you led people to fight against the Giant Snake before. Tell us about it."
As a warrior with Enhanced Gene Intermediate, Gong Yu was the strongest individual in Nanmu City after Yang Xiao's departure, and he was leagues above the likes of Xia Luo and others.
"Boss, I'm afraid that the level of that Giant Snake is above Enhanced Gene Advanced."
"Didn't your Giant Eagle help during the fight against the Giant Snake?"
"Not just my Giant Eagle, Huang Wen's two Giant Eagles, and the Xia Luo brothers, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Long Longjun and others, we all went. But that Giant Snake was extremely fierce. A blast of Extreme Cold Ice Fog swept over, and we couldn't withstand it. I could barely hold on a bit, but those below Enhanced Gene simply couldn't withstand it at all. The dozen or so individuals with Primordial Gene Intermediate in front of us were frozen into ice pops on the spot. Also, the Giant Snake's defense is incredibly strong. Its scale armor is difficult to pierce. I finally managed to hit the Giant Snake with my spear, but it couldn't penetrate its scale armor. The Fiery Flame Arrows of the Giant Eagles were also ineffective..."
Speaking of this Giant Snake, everyone still felt a lingering fear. A dozen or so Primordial Gene Intermediate experts died in that fight. Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, and the others were in great pain. These were experts built with resources, resources that everyone had painstakingly mined out of ice.
"What happened later?"
"Later, the Giant Snake would come to the city every one or two days, eat a few people and then return to Kongming Bridge. We were unable to resist, and could only set up a lookout far away from Kongming Bridge. As soon as the Giant Snake appeared, we would immediately inform everyone, and all the people in the city would immediately retreat to the vicinity of the Genetic Store. Ah, we're so annoyed by that Giant Snake."
Everyone was sighing.
Yang Xiao could understand this situation. A powerful Mutated Monster could often crush many lower-level opponents. Against a Giant Snake with Enhanced Gene Advanced, Gong Yu and the three Giant Eagles naturally couldn't deal with it.
Yang Xiao stood up and said:
"I'm not home, and even snakes are coming to bully us. Let's go, today I want to slaughter it, to avenge our fallen brothers and give you all some peace."
Everyone was stunned, and Huang Wen quickly said:
"Yang Xiao, you just came back. Why not rest for a day and go tomorrow? Look, it's getting late."
Gong Yu, Xia Luo, and others also advised Yang Xiao to think of a way to deal with the Giant Snake the next day.
Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"You all worry that I'm not a match for the Giant Snake, right?"
Everyone could only smile awkwardly and quickly said:
"Boss, we know you're formidable, but the Giant Snake really is too powerful."
"Heh heh, rest assured, follow me. Oh yes, send someone to notify Xu Nanqiang to prepare snake soup for dinner tonight. Hmm, is that snake long enough? Is it enough for us all to eat?"
"Boss, the snake is at least forty meters long, with a waist as thick as a water barrel."
"Don't scare me, as if I've never seen a snake. Huang Wen, have you forgotten how many sandworms we killed in the desert?"
Huang Wen said unexpectedly:
"Boss, this Giant Snake is more formidable than sand worms. We can now hunt sand worms in the desert, but we are no match for this Giant Snake."
Yang Xiao smiled and walked out of the conference room.
The others had no choice but to follow him.
Huang Wen immediately asked Deng Xiao to summon the Flying People Team. When the time comes, a strong volley will be used to drive back the Giant Snake, which is currently the only effective method they have against the Giant Snake.
Xiao Zhe then called for an archer squad of a hundred people to get ready to intercept the Giant Snake.
Yang Xiao mounted his Flame Horse and chuckled:
"A snake, is it worth such a grandiose lineup?"
Everyone wore a bitter smile, as nobody could offend Yang Xiao's face, so they had no choice but to follow him, thinking that the boss would realize by himself once he saw it, and not blame them for not warning him beforehand.
Even Gong Yu didn't dare to mess with high-level Enhanced Gene monsters in the desert, let alone Xia Luo, Huang Wen, and others.
Huang Wen transformed into the Blue Peacock, flying into the sky and leading a hundred-strong Flying People Team to cover the skies above Yang Xiao's head, protecting him.
Long Yongjun led a hundred archers, Zhao Gang led a hundred Close Combat Beast Soul Warriors, Feifei urgently gathered a hundred Plant Soul Warriors, and Chen Fei brought with her a hundred-strong Elemental Mage Team. Hundreds of people marched majestically along Nanmu City's May 1st Avenue.
Seeing such a large force mobilized just to deal with a high-level Enhanced Gene Giant Snake, Yang Xiao suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
It seems necessary to speed up the introduction of Shaolin's Ancient Martial Arts training. If Monk Ben Yin, Lan Xin, and Zhi Ruo were here, just a few of them could hunt down this high-level Enhanced Gene Giant Snake.
Even now, with an income of 400,000 Crystal Coins a day, it's difficult to train a Primary Level Enhanced Gene expert, not to mention the many people waiting for Evolution resources.
Yang Xiao decided that after killing the Giant Snake, he would go to the Shaolin Temple to find Monk Ben Yin the next day.
"Brother Horse, hurry!"
Yang Xiao shouted lowly, lightly patted the butt of the Flame Horse, which neighed long and bolted away, leaving everyone far behind.
Gong Yu cried out:
"Boss, wait for me!"
He then ran quickly after him.
Xia Luo and others could only sigh deeply and began to run faster, but no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't close the gap with the Flame Horse.
Only Huang Wen in the sky leading the bird squadron and three Giant Eagles could keep up with the speed of the Flame Horse.
In just a moment, Yang Xiao arrived at the Kongming Bridge and from a distance saw a Giant Snake coiled in the middle of the bridge.
It was a Frost Giant Snake.
This Frost Giant Snake was feigning sleep on the bridge when suddenly awakened by the Killing Aura of the rapidly approaching Yang Xiao.
Seeing Yang Xiao riding a Flame Horse charging over, the Frost Giant Snake swiftly raised its body, which was over a dozen meters tall, opened its mouth wide, and sprayed a dense burst of Extreme Cold Ice Fog toward Yang Xiao.
"Damn it, I've killed I don't know how many high-level sand worms in the desert, am I supposed to be afraid of you, a snake?"
Yang Xiao extended his right hand, performing a Five Finger Sky Explosion directly.
Huang Wen flew in mid-air, and suddenly, above the Giant Snake's head, five huge fingers appeared and then clenched tightly. Accompanied by a loud boom, a huge fist in the sky firmly grasped the Giant Snake's head.
Gong Yu, Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, and others who came rushing over all took a sharp breath.
