I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 257 - 253 The Brother with One Ear and One Eye
Chapter 257: Chapter 253: The Brother with One Ear and One Eye Chapter 257 -253: The Brother with One Ear and One Eye Fang Xiaocao laughed for quite a while before picking up the communicator again to send a message to Taotie.
[Fang Xiaocao: Well…]
[Fang Xiaocao: You’ll have to figure out how to get out of there yourself!]
Although Fang Xiaocao wanted to help Taotie, she was powerless herself and could only hope that Taotie would find a way to free himself from the dangerous situation.
When Taotie received Fang Xiaocao’s message, he was on the verge of tears. Trapped in a crevice, his plight was as bad as Monkey Brother’s beneath Mount Five Fingers.
Both were pressed down by mountains. Monkey Brother couldn’t break free from Mount Five Fingers, and Taotie, with his mere mortal flesh, had no ideas.
But since his Princess Your Highness had given the order, Taotie couldn’t ignore it.
[Taotie: As you command, my Princess Your Highness!]
Taotie responded with a message, put the communicator in his pocket, and began struggling desperately like a fat maggot.
No matter how hard Taotie tried, he could only push himself out of the rock wall a tiny bit at a time.
But, fortunately, he could still move.
“Huff~”
Taotie exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He mustered all his strength, still acting like a fat maggot.
Fang Xiaocao put down the communicator and watched Tom and Hummingbird bravely fight the Giant Serpent.
Such imagery!
Such realism!
Such an intense experience!
It was far more thrilling than any blockbuster movie.
Such an immersive experience…
If Tom and Hummingbird knew what their Princess Your Highness was thinking, they would probably cry.
And yes, it was an immersive experience.
She could even smell the Giant Serpent’s bad breath.
Tell me, if that’s not immersive.
There couldn’t be an experience more immersive than this.
There were a few parasites on the Giant Serpent’s body, and Tom had almost counted them all.
The Giant Serpent’s thick tail swept around like a mighty army, aiming a blow at Tom.
The tail was thicker than Tom’s waist. If it actually hit him, it would probably break his back.
Tom dared not meet the Giant Serpent head-on.
So he quickly rolled aside like a rolling donkey.
Hummingbird took the chance to rush in, leaping into the air and landing on the back of the Giant Serpent, grabbing the hilt of the Mountain Splitter Dagger that Taotie had left embedded there.
Hummingbird pulled with all her might, but the dagger was so deeply lodged inside the Giant Serpent that she couldn’t draw it out. Instead, her tug caused more pain to the Giant Serpent, prompting it to abandon Tom and turn to bite her.
Seeing the Abyssal Maw approaching, Hummingbird had no choice but to give up on the dagger and swiftly leap from the back of the Giant Serpent, rolling to the side.
Seeing Hummingbird attracting the Giant Serpent’s attention, Tom immediately turned back, leaping on the Giant Serpent’s body and grabbing the hilt of the Mountain Splitter Dagger.
Both Tom and Hummingbird aimed for Taotie’s dagger, not because it was particularly vital.
Tom simply lacked a proper weapon.
His black Dagger was too short to inflict any damage on the Giant Serpent.
Even if he tried stabbing into the gaps in the Giant Serpent’s scales, he couldn’t penetrate its flesh.
Tom’s other weapons—a pistol and a pack of explosives—were somewhat useful, but likewise ineffective against the Giant Serpent.
Moreover, the bullets were limited, and he needed to save them for the mercenaries of Ragnarok and followers of the Goddess of Vengeance.
Bullets were fatally effective against humans compared to their effect on the Giant Serpent.
However…
Tom overestimated his own strength.
If Hummingbird couldn’t draw the dagger, neither could he.
The intense pain from the wound on its back caused the Giant Serpent, in pursuit of Hummingbird, to halt and turn its bite towards Tom.
Seeing the Giant Serpent coming at him again, Tom drew his gun and fired twice straight at the Giant Serpent.
The searing bullets surged forward, targeting the Giant Serpent.
Tom then put away his gun and jumped down from the Giant Serpent’s back, rolling to the side.
Tom had taken a rare chance to gamble.
He hoped to trade two bullets for the Giant Serpent’s eyes, blinding it. Although this would make it frantic, it would be more advantageous for them.
At the very least, while being chased by the Giant Serpent, they would have a higher margin for error and wouldn’t have to worry about being killed by a careless mistake.
“Hiss~”
The Giant Serpent let out a hiss full of pain.
Tom, having just landed smoothly, heard the noise and turned his head toward the Giant Serpent, only to find some good news and some bad news.
The good news was, he hit the mark!
And he had hit the Giant Serpent right in the eye.
The bad news was…
Tom had only hit one of the Giant Serpent’s eyes.
Now the Giant Serpent had become like the one-eared brother from the Black Cat Sheriff series, a one-eyed creature.
Snake and rat siblings, quite the match.
Seeing this, Tom couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
This was a disaster.
The Giant Serpent was truly going to go mad.
But contrary to what he had expected, the now mad Giant Serpent still had one eye.
Its vision was obstructed, but not by much.
The Giant Serpent still had one eye to chase him with!
No time to think, Tom took off running.
It was a joke to stay there any longer.
He would get swallowed alive by the Giant Serpent.
The next second!
The head of the Giant Serpent slammed towards him.
The stench of snake blood made Tom want to vomit.
Seeing Tom being chased, Hummingbird immediately came to his aid.
She tried to draw the Giant Serpent’s attention away from Tom.
But…
The extent to which the Giant Serpent held a grudge was far beyond their imagination. No matter how much Hummingbird attacked and harassed from behind, the Giant Serpent ignored her completely.
Seeing this, Hummingbird gritted her teeth, leaped onto the Giant Serpent’s back, and plunged her katana down into the spaces between its scales with all her might.
Hummingbird wouldn’t believe it.
Let some blood out, and see if you still don’t feel pain.
With one thrust of her katana, Hummingbird stabbed into the body of the Giant Serpent.
A flash of blood!
This time, the Giant Serpent was very cooperative.
It provided Hummingbird with the response she wanted.
However…
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The cost was enormous!
So much so, that Hummingbird lost her katana.
The moment Hummingbird’s katana penetrated the Giant Serpent’s body, it performed a death roll, flinging Hummingbird from its back.
Caught off guard, Hummingbird didn’t even have time to pull out her katana.
Hummingbird tumbled on the ground several times before getting up dizzily.
Looking at her katana stuck in the Giant Serpent’s back, paired with the Mountain Splitter Dagger, Hummingbird lamented in frustration, “Does this count as losing the Lady and the soldiers too?”
The Giant Serpent gave Hummingbird a cold look.
Truly just one look!
The Giant Serpent only had one eye left.
It couldn’t look with both even if it wanted to.
This one look sent a shiver down Hummingbird’s spine.
Because in the Giant Serpent’s eye, Hummingbird saw contempt.
An absurd thought popped into Hummingbird’s mind, “This Giant Serpent has intelligence!”
And it’s a very high level of intelligence at that!
It was merely toying with them.
Commonly known as…
Messing with you for fun!
If this thought was true…
Then it was truly terrifying!
“Tom, it seems to have intelligence…”
Hummingbird cried out to Tom with a trembling voice.
Tom, who had just caught his breath, was stunned upon hearing this and reflexively responded, “What did you say?”
