But then again, who wants to die when they can live?
The moment Fingel told him to turn back and leave immediately, his will to survive made him act faster than ever before.
With the snowmobile's steering wheel turned to its maximum and the accelerator floored, it quickly disappeared from sight without any hesitation.
As for the scenes of unwavering loyalty and shared life-or-death situations often depicted in movies and TV dramas...
That's just overthinking it. Lawrence has only known Cao Han and Finger for less than a few hours, so how could they have such a deep friendship?
"10 seconds left..."
"9......"
"8......"
"..."
Eva's cool, queen-like voice came through the headset.
"1......"
Even as the last number fell, the two people, despite being so far apart, could still feel a tremendous commotion coming from behind them.
"Boss, should we hide?"
Fingel watched as missiles hurtled towards him from the sky behind him with a wild roar. Even though they weren't the primary targets, the shockwaves coming from such close range were not to be underestimated.
His idea was that the two of them should ideally block the first wave from behind the snowmobiles.
however!
In response to Fingel's suggestion, Cao Han only made two "thump" sounds.
With the former looking dumbfounded, his two legs were driven directly into the ice like pile drivers to stabilize his body.
Fingel stomped his right foot lightly, feeling the hardness of the Arctic permafrost. After cursing "freak" in his heart, he had no choice but to reluctantly hide on the back of the snowmobile.
shhhhh--
One missile after another streaked across the sky above the two men, landing precisely at the exact location Eva had calculated for the target.
"Roar roar roar~~~"
These dragon-blooded pythons might not recognize the weapons from humans, but their physical instincts still generated a great sense of threat, and the larger the snakes were, the more anxiously they roared wildly.
But by the time they looked up and realized it, it was too late!
boom! boom! boom!
A series of explosions shattered the tranquility of the Arctic.
Most of the dragon-blooded pythons at the very center of the missile attack evaporated and disappeared, leaving only those giant pythons, over thirty meters long, that reacted quickly and coiled their bodies.
However, their current state looked utterly miserable.
This was only the first wave of firepower coverage; Eva had anticipated a second and third wave.
The goal was to create an opening for the two of them while simultaneously inflicting heavy casualties on the number of these snakes.
Otherwise, even if Cao Han and his men manage to break through in a short time, they will still inevitably be besieged again.
Chapter 188 Unreasonable Methods
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
The same principle applies to these dragon-blooded pythons.
The first wave of long-range missile strikes allowed them to experience firsthand the immense power of human intelligence for the first time in their animal lives.
The instinctive sense of danger made the dragon-blooded pythons that weren't directly hit only want to escape.
Although snakes don't have legs and can't cause trampling incidents, their enormous weight can still crush many smaller pythons.
however!
shhhhh--
The chilling sound of missiles slicing through the sky returned, but this time the target was slightly different...
deviation!
It was precisely because of this slight deviation that the second wave of missiles landed with perfect accuracy at the location where the Dragonblood Pythons were most densely packed just moments before.
Everything is within the calculations of the war mode "Eva".
"Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"
The successive attacks not only caused massive casualties in the snake sea, but also thoroughly enraged the few giant pythons at the very back of the snake sea, which were truly like ancient beasts. They roared furiously at Cao Han and Fingel, who were only the size of grains of rice in the distance.
"Boss, things seem a bit bad. Those beasts seem to have locked onto us."
"A dog that bites doesn't bark."
Cao Han said dismissively.
Despite the imposing appearance of those giant pythons, in his perception, their bloodline was actually between the second and third generation.
I don't even remember how many dragons of this level I killed in Nibelungen.
If I had to describe it... it's a roadside creature, the kind you could easily kick to death.
"Prepare."
"it is good."
“I will cut straight through the entire snake sea to draw your attention, and you can choose a suitable time to cross the bombing zone.”
"what!?"
The look of shock and astonishment on Fingel's face seemed genuine.
This is because it is completely different from the breakout plan previously agreed upon with the operations command center.
"There's a saying in the East: 'A general in the field may disobey orders sometimes.' In terms of status, I'm the captain of this task force, so you have to listen to me! In terms of our relationship, I'm your boss, so you have to listen to me even more!"
Both reasons left Fingel speechless, so he could only grit his teeth and answer, "Okay."
While Cao Han was changing plans, the third wave of long-range fire support from the distant Fenrir landed in the dark sea of snakes, which was also the last wave.
"Whoo~"
Cao Han exhaled heavily from his chest, his expression hardening as he stared intently at the sea of snakes that was now less than 500 meters away from the two of them.
He drew his black sword and crouched slightly in a lunge-like stance.
The next second, an astonishing heat emanated from the side, and the evaporated water vapor turned into a swirling mist.
Fingel's physique was already far beyond that of ordinary people, and now he looks like he has suddenly grown several sizes larger, like an inflated balloon, making him a veritable little giant.
"Good heavens! Looks like he was holding back during the previous sparring session," Cao Han thought to himself.
It seems that after the Nibelungen Project was successfully implemented on him, not only did his strength receive a leapfrog improvement, but his Word of Power also underwent a further transformation.
Word of Power: Bronze Throne
The normal effect is that it makes the user's body as hard as bronze, but it does not make the body bigger.
However, this is for the best, at least for the upcoming dragon-slaying mission, the stronger Fingel's strength is, the better.
"Don't fall behind!"
Before he finished speaking, the power of the Word of Power: Moment surged to the fourth level and then appeared within his body in the blink of an eye.
Who wouldn't want to use the Word of Power: Time Zero, to effortlessly pierce through the entire Serpent Sea like a ghost of time, instead of just recklessly chiseling through it like a brute?
That requires "considering" the situation of teammates, and even deliberately controlling the power of the moment at the fourth level, rather than the most extreme fifth level.
Bang! ! !
With a loud bang, the permafrost beneath their feet was instantly dented as if it had been ravaged by a tremendous force, and huge cracks spread out from the center in all directions.
Cao Han's figure instantly stretched out like a long black phantom across the ground.
Perhaps only a fraction of a millisecond has passed.
Cao Han could already fully sense the stench emanating from the dragon-blood python as it flicked its tongue.
Most snakes are visually impaired, relying more on their natural ability to detect and capture prey.
However, trying to sense Cao Han in the fourth-order instantaneous state using this method is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
hum-
The black knife in his hand slashed forward in a magnificent circle, accompanied by a crisp buzzing sound, cleaving dozens of pythons of varying sizes in two like a hot knife cutting through butter.
Facing the several-meter-long Dragon Blood Pythons positioned at the forefront of the snake sea, serving as "cannon fodder," no swordsmanship skills are required whatsoever; one only needs to swing the sword forward one strike after another.
One meter, two meters, three meters, five meters...
Cao Han single-handedly pushed his way through the dense sea of snakes, gradually becoming more and more surrounded by them.
Head, limbs, back, and so on—anywhere a snake could bite, a hideous head with its gaping maw lunged at it.
Death and bloodshed did not frighten them; on the contrary, they further stimulated the savage side of the dragon blood within them.
It's getting increasingly insane!
They also became increasingly fearless and ruthless!
Fingel could no longer see Cao Han's not-so-tall figure; only the desperate roar of a beast before its death and the faint smell of blood with every breath proved how outrageous what the other party was doing was!
Now or never.
Fingel knew that the moment Snake Sea was completely captivated by Cao Han was the best opportunity for him to break through. Without the slightest hesitation, he used all his strength and ran at top speed toward the gap created by the missile attack.
Its seemingly large and cumbersome body displays an astonishing speed that is incomparable to its size.
99% of the dragon-blood pythons felt an instinctive, immense threat from Cao Han, and thus they swarmed each other, wishing they could get rid of him as soon as possible.
However, 1% of the pythons that remained on the periphery and couldn't squeeze in noticed Fingel's movements and quickly chose to change targets.
Its massive body slithered rapidly across the ice, then launched itself out once it was within attack range, attempting to devour Fingel.
For snakes without limbs, their attack methods remain primitive and bloody. However, the sheer size of the snake horde means that their attacks can be launched from all directions, leaving most people with no time to react.
For a while.
