Chapter 365: Chapter 249: Fire Python Strikes

Soon, his curiosity was satisfied.

Xiao Man pushed his palm towards the window, causing the small flame serpent, initially just a few inches long, to shoot out and grow with the wind. By the time it landed, it had become a Flame Giant Python at least fifteen meters long!

The appearance of the giant python immediately caused the crowd around to scream in extreme panic, far more terrifying than those slender vines due to its massive size.

"This, this..."

Chu Liang was so stunned by the scene before him that he was speechless. He hadn’t realized how close he had been to such a monster while on the show.

The few police officers on the scene were also in despair. It was bad enough with the vine monsters; how could a giant Fire Snake suddenly appear now?

And unlike the immobile vines, this newly appeared monster could move!

Looking at its size and the body made of flames, if it really tumbled back and forth in this densely populated area a few times, the consequences could be unimaginable!

"Quick! Quick! Request support from the command center!!"

In the team, the leading police officer shouted loudly towards the direction of the police car nearby.

The young police officer in the car had already seen the situation on-site and, without needing a reminder, had already made a call through the communication station.

"Help! Help! Emergency situation! Another giant monster has invaded the scene! Extremely dangerous! Request immediate support!"

The communication station immediately responded upon receiving the message.

"Received, received! Support is en route; please wait patiently. Azure Dragon Army has deployed a T-77 helicopter for aerial support, code name ’Cave Monster Seven.’ It is expected to arrive in two minutes, and will deploy flame throwers; please be cautious!"

"Flame throwers... Flame throwers..."

The young police officer murmured twice and then suddenly shouted, "Command center! Flame throwers aren’t enough! We need fire extinguishers as well!!"

"..."

The command center seemed confused by his jumpy statement and paused for a moment without speaking.

"Command center, the monster that has appeared here is a giant serpent made of flames. I suspect that firearms and ammunition may be ineffective against it. Please dispatch fire-fighting units to the site!"

The young police officer explained.

After a brief silence on the other side of the communicator, a steady-voiced middle-aged man took over.

"Command center has received your message. I have observed the situation on-site through a drone and will immediately head to your location for rescue. Do not initiate an attack; prioritize evacuation and ensure the safety of all civilians!"

Although Xiao Man was unaware of their concerns, from the nervous manner in which the police were aiming their guns at the Fire Python, he could roughly guess their worries.

In fact, although the Fire Python was made of flames, if they really opened fire, it would still cause it some damage.

On the contrary, if a fire engine had come, it would have been of no use.

Because the Fire Python he created with the Dark Energy Technique was enveloped in Dark Energy and converted into high-pressure gas, apart from the flames exterior.

At the same time, some of the surrounding mud and debris would also be sucked in, forming a structure similar to lava.

Thus, the Fire Python did indeed have mass and could be affected by passive Energy hits, although the effects were not significant.

And because of the presence of these high-pressure gases, high temperatures were naturally generated inside, making ordinary water utterly ineffective at extinguishing it; the serpent could even plunge into a lake and remain unscathed.

At that moment, Zhang Xiaoman was on the third floor of a nearby high-rise, by the window. After brief observation, he had thoroughly analyzed the situation and the positions of everyone on the field and immediately controlled the Fire Python to launch an attack.

His fingers flew, tips flashing with red light, and the python moved accordingly. He looked just like a Puppet Master controlling his puppet.

The giant python let out a silent roar, startling the distant crowd as though they were in the middle of an unprecedented fantasy blockbuster.

The Fire Python leaned forward and charged out, plowing a huge trench through the ground it crossed.

Incredibly agile under Zhang Xiaoman’s Dark Energy control, its movements did not resemble those of a fifteen-meter-long behemoth.

It swiftly reached the nearest vine, coiled around it in a twist, and then constricted like a python capturing its prey, rendering it completely immobile.

Initially, the vine tried to wriggle and struggle, but as it was scorched by the high temperature of the Fire Python’s body, it began to shrink and wither, and soon it completely melted away.

Everyone, especially the police on the ground who had prepared for an attack by the giant python, was dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene. No one had expected the giant monster would not charge at them but instead fought with another vine.

"Could it be that these two monsters aren’t allies? Are they enemies?"

This thought arose almost simultaneously in everyone’s minds, the actions of the giant Fire Python completely unexpected.

The crowd, which had been frantically pushing and shoving to escape, involuntarily stopped and turned their attention to the python that had easily taken down a vine.

At that time, the other vines also seemed to sense the threat, twisting nervously, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Zhang Xiaoman could see that two vines, relatively farther away, had already begun slowly retracting, seemingly wanting to burrow underground to adjust their positions for a renewed attack.

However, compared to the speed at which they launched a surprise attack, these vines retracted much more slowly; perhaps this was why they hadn’t easily retreated underground since their appearance.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xiaoman again controlled the giant python to strike the next target. This time, two vines were close together, and he planned to take them down together.

People saw the giant Fire Python leap forward, biting onto a vine and immediately emitting black smoke, biting it into two halves.

At the same time, the neighboring vine also launched an attack, showing no willingness to show weakness.

However, the force that could send several people flying when hitting a much larger Fire Python did not cause much damage; it merely staggered the massive serpent slightly.

Even the vine’s own surface ended up scorched, emitting puffs of black smoke.
