Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 21: Chapter 19 Blood Orchid_2

At such a critical moment, the sudden strike caused even the notorious screamers, the Pythons, to let out wails of agony.

That feeling of rage was palpable even to those who couldn't understand the language of snakes.

As the undisputed overlords of the jungle, when had they ever experienced such humiliation?

Boom~

Wielding a shoulder cannon, Joseph fired, instantly blowing the head off a Python!

The hit rate and power far exceeded that of firearms.

Tao Yu, who had been observing from the side, could tell from the flames shooting out of the rear of the shoulder cannon that it seemed to be designed as a recoilless rifle.

But it was still a gunpowder weapon, and the ammunition capacity and reserves must be limited, probably stored in the ammo box on his back. Yet, with a hit rate like that, there must be some sort of fire control system.

Upon closer examination, what seemed to be normal pupils in Joseph's eyes seemed to flash with numbers.

Brain-machine connection, iris data, truly formidable...

While Joseph's shot had instantly killed a Python, it had also marked the direction for those that were still able to move.

The enraged Pythons, with blood rushing to their heads, didn't even consider fleeing; they swiftly began slithering toward them.

The water below splashed violently, and the boulders on the path were tossed aside by their frenzied movements; even those standing on the edge of the cliff could feel a vibration on the ground.

It was the noise of their massive bodies rapidly closing in.

The sight of the remaining twenty or so Pythons, each a symbol of immense pressure, was genuinely terrifying.

Especially a few blood-covered, wounded Pythons that were still shedding flesh and blood along the way, their speed was even faster!

At this moment, Tao Yu, Li Le, and Zhang Wei, each armed with assault rifles, also opened fire.

Zhang Wei lacked shooting skills, but with such large targets, he could almost hit them with his eyes closed; he just couldn't guarantee a headshot.

In contrast, Tao Yu and Li Le each fired with precise shots.

Tao Yu, relying only on his eyesight to achieve ordinary shooting standards, didn't expend mental energy for correction.

Even so, his long-range precision shooting was not inferior to the more skilled Li Le, and he even had a greater advantage in shooting at moving targets, second only to Joseph in the number of kills.

As one Python after another was headshot, soon only five remained!

But these five had closed in to within ten meters!

"I'll take the nearest one, you guys handle the others," Wino crouched slightly, and then the armor on his legs visibly bulged, his entire body, weighted down by the armor, shot toward the nearest Python like a cannonball.

His speed was so fast it even stirred up a strong breeze, clearly surpassing human limits even with the armor!

He viciously chopped down at the nearest Python with his double axe in hand.

The Python, displaying its Dexterity, raised its head to dodge the vital strike, but still suffered a deep cut nearly severing it, blood plasma flew everywhere, fully expressing Wino's brutal aesthetic.

Long-range attacks were simpler than close combat, free from geographical interference.

After Wino chose his target, the others easily divided the remaining Pythons among themselves.

Tao Yu continued his standard procedure, locking onto a Python's head and firing repeatedly, then changing the magazine.

Li Le achieved his target, while Joseph took on the remaining two.

By then, Wino, having bought some time, did not persist in exerting himself and swiftly retreated following a collision with the Python.

The Python, nearly bisected by an axe strike, furiously shoved Wino aside but lacked the strength to pursue and eventually fell under the barrage of gunfire.

"Heh, that beast's strength is no joke," Wino said, sliding back a distance after landing, an indicator of the Python's power.

Though he only briefly engaged with a single Python, his voice still held a breathless quality.

Given the Python's size advantage, even a skilled close-quarters combatant like Wino had to be thoughtful; hence, after delaying for a bit, he retreated with reserved strength to leave the kill to the more efficient firearms.

To resolve the battle within a minute may seem unremarkable, but if Wino hadn't taken the initiative, things could have definitely gone south...

"Alright, proceed in sequence to assure they're all dead and don't touch the Serpent Fang, I'll handle that myself," Snakes are known to have a death rattle, so it's quite normal to have some slip through the net.

The last Python to hit Wino had demonstrated such terrifying bursts of strength; naturally, they'd be wary of sticking their faces into the bushes!

Cannon fodder, isn't that what they're used for?

Blindly sending cannon fodder is an inefficient waste; probing for mines this way is optimal.

"Got it, but be careful, big brothers, there seems to be something in the woods," Tao Yu obediently accepted the arrangement, and even though he was behind in sequence, promptly took a few steps forward, landing on a raised rock platform.

While securing a spot in the Blood Orchid's area, forcing others to look for other footholds upon arrival, Tao Yu also turned back to peer into the increasingly gloomy Rainforest as The Sun set.

This time he truly saw something moving stealthily between the trees, making very little noise!

It wasn't just an unnoticed presence appearing out of the dark; they'd likely been observing the situation here all along, waiting with cunning patience.
