Chapter 496: Chapter 377: Mixed Doubles

If one were to say that at first, everyone was unclear about what Jannan meant by running out of ammunition.

Now, when this scenario actually befell them, they finally experienced that feeling of despair.

"Bang!"

A loud gunshot rang out as Jannan pulled the trigger, and the sniper rifle’s last bullet shot out, heading straight for the monster’s gaping mouth.

"Shh~"

The sound of the bullet entering flesh could be heard; it successfully penetrated the mouth of the Snake Monster but the creature merely paused momentarily and did not die as expected.

The members of Wildfire Team had run out of bullets, with Jannan successively emptying his magazine.

What disappointed them was that not only were the regular rifle bullets ineffective against the monster, even the powerful sniper rifle could barely breach its defense.

The Snake Monster’s black scales were like steel, and the sniper bullets could only penetrate the surface of its body before becoming lodged in its muscles, unable to move.

Even Jannan’s last shot, which hit the target through the mouth, was blocked by the latter’s hard skull and did not prove fatal.

Fortunately, since its eyes had already been shot blind, the Snake Monster was temporarily overcome with pain.

It twisted wildly in place, its massive body swinging back and forth, stirring up the dirt and snapping a large number of trees in the vicinity.

The people began to slowly retreat backward; this creature was clearly more terrifying than the giant wolf.

They knew that snakes didn’t rely solely on their eyes to move.

If this monster recovered its breath later, killing them, now devoid of firearms, would be an easy task.

"Let’s go!"

Jannan grabbed Xun You beside him, intending to lead him away from this dangerous area.

Xun You had almost completed his Burst Spirit Skill, but Jannan’s sudden tug caused a misalignment in the sequence of Dark Energy Particles, ruining his previous efforts.

"I..."

He had just uttered a word when he was again abruptly pulled aside by Jannan.

Jannan didn’t think too much about it and went to pull Hu Peng’s arm, while also turning around to adjust his running posture and direction.

However, this attempt to pull Hu Peng failed, as the latter stood unmoved, his feet rooted to the ground.

Jannan almost lost his balance and fell; he looked back at the young man with some surprise.

Although the latter was fairly tall and not weak, his physique was not robust and muscular, at least not comparable to his own.

In his words, he didn’t have much flesh.

Yet, such a scrawny young man possessed such great strength.

Jannan knew, to perform what had just happened required tremendous strength.

Hu Peng turned to look at this older man, didn’t say much, but turned his gaze again toward Xun You.

"My Magic Technique is complete, Dog, you hurry and prepare, I’ll hold it off first!"

The reason he said this was clearly because he had successfully applied the Constitution Enhancement.

A moment ago, he and Xun You started preparing the Dark Energy Technique as soon as they faced the monster.

Xun You was responsible for the attacking, casting Burst Spirit Skill, while he was to be the shield, casting Constitution Enhancement.

Although due to the time constraint, the effects of Constitution Enhancement had not yet been maximized.

But for Jannan, who was just an ordinary person, he could easily overpower the other.

Xun You nodded, and instead of just standing there clumsily using his skills, he quickly ran a few steps to find a relatively safe spot behind a big tree to prepare.

Jannan snapped out of his daze and followed Hu Peng to Xun You’s side without asking about what had just happened.

"This guy is kind of fierce. I only have enough Dark Energy for one Constitution Enhancement, but I don’t think it will kill it. Dog, be careful, whether we can take this monster down or not relies on you."

Xun You nodded, his hands moving but still hesitating to act hastily.

Although he had learned the Burst Spirit Skill, his proficiency wasn’t very high, and a slight distraction could lead to failure.

The Snake Monster finally came to its senses from its frenzy. It had heat-sensing ability, so losing its eyes did not hinder its movement, and it immediately locked onto the people hiding behind the tree.

"Oh my God! They didn’t follow us... Be careful!"

Ciro, who was Black, ran a few steps, turned back, and let out a cry when he saw the scene behind him.

His other teammates also looked in that direction upon hearing him.

The giant snake had already approached them, its body swinging, and its massive tail whipped through the air with immense force, the terrifying sound of it cutting through the air was enough to make one despair.

Jannan didn’t know why he had to join in the recklessness of these two.

Perhaps it was the enigmatic acts the other had shown earlier that made him hesitate, or perhaps it was the strength that Hu Peng had inadvertently displayed that gave him hope of fighting the monster.

Nonetheless, Jannan now felt the same way Weiss had initially felt—with a strange idea rising in his conflicted heart.

These people didn’t seem unfamiliar with this kind of monster...

The next second, the monster’s tail sped towards them, they had no time to run, he could only quickly crouch to dodge.

However, instead of hearing the expected sound of the tree breaking, Jannan heard a muffled Impact sound and a man’s low growl.

"Take this... get lost!"

Hu Peng, holding the giant snake’s tail, suddenly threw it forward, tossing the tail away.

He gasped for breath, initially planning to grab the creature and swing the giant snake.

However, upon grabbing it, he realized that the monster was much heavier than he had anticipated.

"Good lord, it’s so heavy. I really wonder how it grew like this."

Hu Peng, failing to act cool, didn’t dare to take it lightly anymore and quickly rushed out to draw the monster’s attention.

By now, Xun You’s Burst Spirit Skill was also ready.

He stepped out from behind the tree, his fingertips glowing purple, and pointed in the direction of the Snake Monster, releasing an energy ray that instantly pierced the creature’s body.

"Aargh!"

The snake let out a piercing scream.

A small hole had appeared in its chest.

"Dog, where are you shooting? Aim for the head!"

Hu Peng yelled while clinging dearly to its tail, preventing it from charging towards his teammates.

"Aargh!"

The Snake Monster finally lost its temper, turned around, and bit towards the annoying fellow behind it.
