Chapter 163: The Multi-Headed Snake(1/2)
When the gunfire sounded, Xu Nan and Rafael were already hiding in the distance.
Xu Nan clearly saw that the magic tank's heavy firepower magic cannon hit the snake's head!
There is no smoke, only the gorgeous colorful burst, and then there are huge sounds and air waves.
The rolling waves of air lifted up several people who were fleeing next to him, and the person closest to him was directly lifted to the ceiling and fell down hard, not knowing his life or death.
The terrifying power of magic tanks is really shocking.
However, what is even more surprising is that after enduring such a magic shell, the almost devastated snake head was still moving.
Xu Nan saw that most of the snake's head was blown to pieces, and even nerves could be seen in the wound, and blood was everywhere. Large pieces of scales fell on the ground, accompanied by blood and a violent stench came to his nose.
"So fierce?" Xu Nan threw away an appraisal technique from afar.
The snake's head was severely damaged and did not continue to chase after it. It just dragged its half-dissolved head slowly into the darkness.
Not long after, it disappeared into the eyes of everyone.
The Paradise Lost System also provides information about this creature.
【Multiple-headed evil snake】!
Divine creature template!
When Xu Nan saw the four words "Divine Creature", he realized that this thing was not that easy to kill.
Divine creatures usually have super high saving throws, and the basic values of their templates also make normal creatures jealous and explode.
In other words, Qin Lele drove a magic tank and used a magic cannon.
If it is an ordinary spell, it will be splashed on the forehead of the multi-headed snake. If a wave of spells flows down, it will basically be miss (misses). Legendary spells will be better, but it will be difficult to sanction this kind of creature.
If you have a melee profession, you have a certain chance of breaking the armor, but you will also face great risks.
No divine creature can be challenged by an ordinary adventure squad!
The internal database prompts that this multi-headed evil snake possesses the divine nature of the frost giant.
In this way, there are only two possibilities.
Or, it is the descendant of the Frost Giant. This possibility exists. After all, the ancient gods are ignorant and may have sex with any creature. The Frost Giant has fallen in love with snake creatures, so it is normal for such offspring to be born.
Or, this multi-headed evil snake swallowed the divine nature of a small number of frost giants during its growth period, and thus had such characteristics.
All in all, this guy is very difficult to deal with.
Even if its level is only 16, it is still far from the legend, and its age is only in youth among divine creatures and has not entered its full state!
"This guy is called Duotao Snake, which means he has more than one head?"
"What just appeared is just a head?"
Xu Nan couldn't help but feel a little angry. He was actually quite afraid of snakes... Oh! He was actually afraid of divine creatures, which are difficult to kill.
If you don't have snake nemesis or divine natural enemies in your hands, it will be very troublesome to deal with.
The magic tank rubbed forward, pushed the cover on the top of his head away, and Qin Lele jumped out of it.
She patted her little hands, put her hips on her hips and said, "How is this shot?"
Xu Nan gave a thumbs up and pondered: "Or don't you keep moving forward until there is no way?"
Qin Lele stuck out his tongue: "There are very little residual energy inside. Besides, there is only one shell in this tank, which is not enough."
Xu Nan was a little regretful.
Now it seems that the entire square covered with magic canvas is a large army of magic tanks left by the Arcane Empire army. These tanks cannot be packed in dimensional pockets. It is a pity to put them here.
"Is there any clue?" he asked Qin Lele.
"I found a diary on the tank. The owner of the diary should be the tank driver, and there was some content on it. It seemed that when the Arcane Empire was developing the ruins of the Frost Giant, they encountered a very terrifying basil monster and had a conflict. The basil monster group destroyed a small team of wizards and guards!"
"It is precisely because of this that they applied to the headquarters for a legendary wizard and a consolidation legion. These tanks should be their heavy firepower support. We didn't write more about the follow-up. It seemed that they hurriedly withdrew shortly after they were transferred. When they left, they were in a hurry, and the driver didn't even take away the diary."
"It's been thousands of years. Is that snake monster not dead yet?" Qin Lele was a little puzzled.
Xu Nan shook his head.
Even if it is a real divine creature, after all, it is not a demigod and cannot live that long. The basilisk they encountered may be descendants of the basilisks encountered by the Arcane Empire.
According to Qin Lele's diary, a lot of information was clarified at once.
The equipment area of the institute is indeed a place where an army is stationed. Not only is there a sentinel unit, but there are also nineteen magic tanks and more than two hundred lightning spiders. These three alchemy products are the standard equipment for the Arcane Empire to fight against monsters in small-scale combat.
These alchemy products are powered by their own energy, and unlocking requires a key.
Excitingly, the driver's diary mentioned that in order to prevent repeated transportation in the case of protracted warfare, they brought a lot of energy when they arrived.
Including the [Super Charged Electrolyte] used by Sentinel 35 and Lightning Spider and the [Grey Cicada Stone] consumed by Magic Tank.
These things are in the warehouse in the northeast of the equipment area.
Judging from the retreat of the Arcane Empire, these energy sources are most likely to be preserved! With the Arcane Empire's way of preserving energy, these finished energy can be preserved for at least tens of thousands of years.
If Xu Nan could get these energy sources, then this frost and winter treasure would not be in vain.
After all, Anonymous City is also in a time when energy is short.
The only regrettable thing is that the driver did not explain the source of the key. He only recorded the key of the magic tank in his diary, so Qin Lele just tried to drive the tank up.
There is no more energy now.
...
Since the magic tank lost its value, Xu Nan did not delay much. The three of them kept walking east, paying attention to potential supplies that could be taken away along the way, but unfortunately, there was not much gain this time.
The treasure hunters who were just hunted by the multi-headed evil snake have lost their trace at this moment and don’t know where they have escaped.
"I know those people just now. They are a famous small group, with about seven or eight people. I don't know why there are only four or five left."
"They are not good things, they are notorious on the road. It was clearly this lady who saved them just now, but they didn't say thank you. They must have bad intentions."
"I guess they must have been too greedy to anger that terrible snake monster..."
Rafael was chatting and reporting.
It seems that he has a bad relationship with those people.
Xu Nan didn't care much about the whereabouts of these treasure hunters. He cared more about the energy warehouse mentioned in the driver's diary and why this multi-headed sinister snake appeared here.
The answer is revealed soon.
They crossed the instrument area and arrived at the edge of the experimental area.
More than fifteen treasure hunters were gathered here.
Xu Nan did not see Song Ying and Quelras. They probably came in from other entrances. After all, the underground institute of the Arcane Empire is so big, there is far more than one entrance.
These treasure hunters gathered together in groups of three or five, keeping alert and fearing each other, but on the surface they looked harmonious and had no intention of taking action between them for the time being.
The reason why they stopped here was simple.
A giant blocked the way between the instrument area and the experimental area.
It was a snake monster with six heads!
Its lower body was wrapped on the huge ventilation duct above the ceiling of the experimental area. The remaining six heads extended out, showing their own shapes, and overall they looked like a fan; some were lazy, seemingly closing their eyes to rest, while others were very ferocious, staring at enemies that might appear at any angle, the snake's letter kept sucking and spitting out dangerous signals.
Xu Nan saw that there was an almost wilted snake head. Its head was mostly broken and shivered near its body. The two heads near it seemed to come over and bite a bite or two, but whenever they moved, the central head would make a rapid and angry hissing sound.
Those who are ready to move and want to eat their own heads immediately bow their heads.
It seems that even the head of a bull-headed bazar monster can be divided into high and low.
There is no doubt that this is the body of the multi-headed evil snake. It is precisely because it entrenched here that it directly blocked the road from the equipment area to the experimental area.
Treasure Hunters should have tried it before, but the result was that those people were hunted by one of the snake heads, and their lives and deaths were unknown. If Qin Lele's magic tank had not shown its power, those people might have become food for the demon snake.
Xu Nan's face became a little more serious.
The strength of the multi-headed evil snake is unquestionable, and the most troublesome thing is its divine nature.
Xu Nan has expertise in spell optimization and many spell strengths, and believes that the spell effect is far superior to that of normal mages; but when fighting against divine creatures, a saving throw can often make the caster want to die.
Only when he is fully prepared will he choose to fight such a multi-headed snake.
Otherwise, it would be a risk and would be incompatible with Xu Nan's style.
“Is there any other way?”
He whispered Rafal.
Rafal thought for a while and replied honestly: "Yes, the experimental area is actually the central area of the underground research institute, and many areas have entrances, but..."
"But can there be divine monsters in other entrances?" Xu Nan took the initiative to express Rafal's guess.
Rafal nodded.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What should we do?"
Just at this moment, the other treasure hunters also noticed the new group of people. They were not interested in Rafael, but stared at Xu Nan and Qin Lele.
After a while, a treasure hunter came over and suggested: "The three of you came here for the treasure."
To be continued...
