Chapter 27 - The Five Mutated Snakes of the Taishi Five Snakes Soup

Chapter 27 The Five Mutated Snakes of the Taishi Five Snakes Soup

The nail gun in his hand was not a real gun after all. If the target was too far away, not only would it easily miss, but its power would also decrease greatly.

However, Old Jin was indeed a talent. Ling Yichen remembered that he had once said that his nail projectiles were specially made by him. They were filled with a large amount of gunpowder, and he had personally forged the nails, which greatly increased its lethality. Originally, Old Jin didn’t have any other thoughts about this nail gun when he created it. He was just a gun enthusiast, but guns were prohibited in the country. He didn’t want to go overseas, so he made one himself and even bought a live rooster to try out the gun. The effect was good.

Ling Yichen aimed the nail gun in his hand at the flower bed at the side. There was a mutated snake hidden there. He could only roughly

determine its coiled shape and try his best to hit it accurately.

Bang!

A nail gun that was powered by gunpowder had a very loud firing sound, especially one that had been modified here. It was already comparable to a real gun.

A long snake suddenly rolled in the flower bed, as if it was in great pain.

Ling Yichen’s eyes lit up. He did not expect his luck to be so good. He actually hit the mutated snake’s backbone!

It was common to hear that one had to hit the seven-inch mark when striking a snake. In fact, it was good to hit the three-inch mark. The seven-inch mark referred to the heart of the snake, while the three-inch mark referred to the weakest part of the snake’s backbone. After breaking this part, the channel connecting the nerve center and other parts of the snake would be destroyed. There was no doubt that it would die.

Upon closer inspection, this snake was actually a cobra. To be precise, it was a Chinese cobra.

Fortunately, the poisonous cobra had been shot in the backbone by him and was no longer a big threat.

What was left now were the other four mutated snakes hidden in the nearby flower beds. Could they also be cobras?

Soon, they provided Ling Yichen with the

answer.

When the four mutated snakes saw that their companion had been attacked, they crawled out of the flower beds at an extremely fast speed, forcing Ling Yichen to fire nine more shots. Due to their extreme speed, Ling Yichen did not bother to aim. Everything depended on his marksmanship awareness. However, even so, four of the shots successfully caused damage to two of the snakes.

Ling Yichen had already recognized the varieties of these five mutated snakes. He could not help but be speechless. Which family

wanted to eat Taishi Five Snake Soup?

The entire family had probably been bitten to death by these five snakes, right?

Regarding the cooking method of Taishi Five Snakes Soup, Ling Yichen had once heard an Evolver chef mention it. At that time, the chef happened to encounter a mutated king cobra, which led to the cooking method of the Taishi Five Snakes Soup. During that meal, he also tasted the delicacy of the mutant king cobra. The nourishing effect was excellent. The Taishi Five Snakes Soup required at least five snakes, including the cobra, the gold-ringed snake, and the silver-ringed snake. In addition, water snakes, brocade snakes, or king cobras were also added.

Among them, the gold-ringed snake and the silver-ringed snake were also cobras. They were both poisonous. Meanwhile, the water snake and the brocade snake weren’t

poisonous.

This made Ling Yichen’s expression turn ugly.

Fortunately, there was no king cobra here. Otherwise, with its body size that was second

only to the python, he might not be able to escape unscathed. Even if he killed it, he would have to pay a certain price.

Which idiot actually brought five snakes to the city to nourish themselves? Didn’t he know that three of the snakes were poisonous?

The place under Ling Yichen’s feet was Jinling

City. How could there be snake soup in typical times? It must be that some rich family was greedy and brought these five snakes over. In the end, when the apocalypse started, the family had already become the food of these

five snakes before they could even be put into the pot.

The two snakes that Ling Yichen had just shot were the gold-ringed snake and the silver-ringed snake. He had specifically shot at these two snakes. After all, they were the most

dangerous.

However, these four shots did not hit their vital

points. This was a pity, but he also injured them. At this moment, they were rolling on the ground and would probably pounce on him

soon.

Ling Yichen ordered the ten Black Iron Armors to activate the [Hardening] and [Barbaric Charge] skills against the four mutated snakes!

This skill actually had a more obvious effect on larger targets. For a thin and soft target like the

mutated snakes, this skill was not very suitable.

Among the four mutated snakes, only the

mutated water snake and mutated brocade

snake were still crawling towards Ling Yichen. It was obvious that they wanted to avenge their companions!

When the Black Iron Armors collided with the mutant gold-ringed snake and the mutant silver-ringed snake, the mutant gold-ringed snake, which was continuously rolling on the spot, took the opportunity to put its tail on the

horn of the Black Iron Armor and wrap its body around it.

Its actions were quite flashy. This was quite in line with the snake’s attack strategy. This entanglement was actually useless because the defense of the Black Iron Armor

was astonishing. That layer of defense was also enhanced with the [Hardening] skill. It was not something that these two mutated snakes

could easily break through.

Regardless of whether the snakes entangled themselves around the Black Iron Armors, whipped their target, or used their poisonous

fangs, they could not easy break through the layer of insect shell on the Black Iron Armor.

After all, this was an insect that focused on defense. Even if it stood and took a beating, it had to be whipped by the snake tail for a long time before its defense was broken through. Moreover, the two snakes had each been hit by two nails at different positions. This had also caused some injuries to them, affecting their combat strength.

As for the other two mutated snakes, when

faced with the offense of the Black Iron Armor, they coiled around one of the forelimbs of the Black Iron Armor.

The Black Iron Armor had a total of six legs.

Each leg was densely covered with barbs, like the thorns on a crab’s body. The mutated water snake and the mutated brocade snake’s goal was to find the right time

to bite through the Black Iron Armor and make them move their bodies. Then, they would target the layer of hard soft membrane at the joints to damage the Black Iron Armor. However, when they were constantly moving,

the mutated water snake and mutated brocade snake could not find the right time. Otherwise, if they acted recklessly, their fangs might be crushed by the constantly moving joints. Ling Yichen quickly gave the order for the four Black Iron Armor to maintain a defensive posture and shrink their bodies. They would

use their bodies to cover the weakest area of the joints to protect the hard soft membrane from being attacked. Even their eyeballs had a layer of carapace that looked like eyelids drooping down, protecting their eyes from being injured.

The Black Iron Armors in this position were purely defensive. They were immovable like a

mountain and could not attack, but it was extremely difficult for them to be injured.

In fact, Ling Yichen did not know how strong the defense of the hard membrane was. However, these four mutated snakes were

mutated creatures at Mortal Body Rank-2. They could not be underestimated.

No matter what, they were still Mortal Body Rank-2 mutated snakes. They were also very strong. The power they could unleash could

directly whip an ordinary person to death. They could even use their tails to whip a few times and break through the Black Iron Armors!
