Chapter 85 A Hundred-Meter-Long, Hundred-Ton Serpent
Nakamura Ono's face was gloomy.
"Can't we even damage it while the snake is shedding its skin?"
"No, I cannot give up. If we can't kill the snake during such a rare opportunity, it will likely be even harder later."
Nakamura Ono picked up his communicator and dialed Colonel Inoue Chuntian.
"Hello, Colonel Inoue, the Big White Snake is currently shedding its skin, and its movements are restricted. Now is the perfect time to kill it. Please fire your artillery and bombard the Big White Snake with everything you have."
"Received, Colonel Nakamura. Please withdraw five kilometers from the Big White Snake's range."
Hanging up the communicator, Nakamura Ono hurriedly ordered the tanks to retreat.
Jiang Feng watched the retreating tanks, puzzled.
"Did these idiots give up just because they saw they couldn't hurt me?"
Something didn't seem right.
But he didn't have the spare attention to worry about that right now; shedding his skin was more important.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang Feng suddenly heard a series of whistling sounds.
These were the whistles of artillery shells!
Did these people want to destroy him with artillery fire?
Jiang Feng felt slightly nervous. Although artillery fire wasn't as powerful as missiles, its intensity was high, its coverage was wide, and most importantly, it was fast and sustained.
If they kept up the bombardment for a few hours, he really might be killed.
Bang! Boom! Boom! ...
Explosions rang out as artillery shells detonated on Jiang Feng's snake body and the surrounding ground.
Jiang Feng's body trembled uncontrollably from the blasts, and his entire serpentine frame was forced to shift several meters.
Waves of numbness spread throughout his body.
The pig farm also collapsed instantly under the artillery fire, and countless piglets were blown to pieces.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Feng's snake eyes were filled with rage.
His pigs—there were still so many pigs he hadn't finished swallowing.
How dare these people blow up all his pigs?
The bombardment continued, with shells falling onto Jiang Feng like meteors.
Jiang Feng's snake body underwent round after round of baptism by artillery fire, which greatly accelerated his shedding process.
But the price was a faint sensation of pain coming from his body.
Jiang Feng looked at his snake body and didn't see any injuries.
His shedding would be finished soon; he just needed to hold on a little longer.
Jiang Feng did not use Star Escape Technique to dodge; he also wanted to test his own endurance limit.
Compared to overly fierce weapons like missiles, relatively milder artillery shells were more suitable for testing.
A few minutes later, Jiang Feng completed his shedding.
His brand-new scales were revealed, shimmering with a faint, deep blue luster amidst the white.
The thickness of the scales had increased once more, reaching nearly thirty centimeters, and his defensive power had doubled.
The material strength of his current scales had completely surpassed the strength of ordinary metallic materials.
Jiang Feng could feel that the density of his scales was immense, exceeding that of metal, and the atoms inside were clustering together.
His scales had a tendency to transform into a neutron star!
Jiang Feng's snake eyes widened abruptly.
A neutron star—one of the most terrifying celestial bodies in the universe.
His future scales would actually become such a terrifying existence? Could his entire body become a neutron star snake?
Jiang Feng gave his snake body a shake, casting aside these unrealistic thoughts.
Artillery shells were still hitting him, but now that they struck his new scales, Jiang Feng felt absolutely nothing.
"Is that it?"
"Even if I let you hit me for a day, you wouldn't be able to break them."
The forty-centimeter-thick scales not only defended against the impact force but also completely neutralized the vibrations, causing not a shred of damage to his body.
Furthermore, the artillery shells could no longer move him even an inch, because Jiang Feng's size had reached 100 meters.
His weight had also exceeded a hundred tons, mainly because his scales had become heavier.
His weight had increased by more than double.
He was now a snake weighing over a hundred tons, a true Catastrophe Level giant beast.
Jiang Feng looked in the direction from which the shells were flying, a cold glint flashing in his snake eyes.
"You killed my pigs; are you prepared to endure the wrath of the giant snake?"
Jiang Feng dashed towards the direction from which the shells were being fired.
With his 10,000 Agility, his speed at full power was as fast as lightning; only a massive afterimage could be seen streaking through the air.
Everything in his path was crushed; whether it was houses or roads, everything was smashed to pieces by his snake body.
For the current Jiang Feng, two or three-story houses were just like paper boxes.
His strength of several hundred tons could destroy them in an instant.
Although Jiang Feng's strength hadn't increased, the power he could exert was much greater.
This was because his Physique had doubled.
It was like a child possessing the strength of an adult, but they would be no match for a normal adult.
Because the child cannot exert their full strength.
Jiang Feng, at this moment, was like an adult capable of exerting 200% of his strength.
Even if his strength hadn't increased, his capabilities had improved far beyond what they were before.
Houses were knocked down, roads were crushed; not many roads could withstand the trampling of the hundred-ton king.
"Hahaha!"
Jiang Feng laughed wildly, his body moving wantonly across the land.
Nothing underfoot could trap him, and nothing ahead could block him.
A snake's life is free and unfettered, enjoying quick vengeance.
[fear points + 100]
[fear points + 100]
...
Along the way, the people and animals crushed by Jiang Feng all terrifiedly contributed their fear points before they died.
Jiang Feng didn't care at all, as if he were just stepping on a few ants.
In the distance, Nakamura Ono held binoculars, watching the figure of the Big White Snake departing like a giant bulldozer.
His shocked heart could not calm down for a long time.
The Big White Snake had not only not been killed, but it had actually become stronger, and it seemed to have been infuriated as well.
The direction it was running in now was exactly the direction of Kobe City.
Nakamura Ono suddenly became terrified—what would happen if the enraged Big White Snake charged into the city?
They seemed to have caused a huge disaster.
Nakamura Ono dialed Colonel Inoue Chuntian's phone, "Inoue, stop the bombardment quickly! The Big White Snake is running in your direction. Hurry and stop it from entering the city."
"What? Didn't you say you could kill it? And why didn't you stop it?"
Colonel Inoue Chuntian was so angry he cursed loudly. How could a group of artillerymen block a Big White Snake that was capable of close-quarters surprise attacks?
"What should we do, Colonel Inoue?" an artillery company commander asked.
"We're retreating. That bastard Nakamura Ono—if their dozens of tanks couldn't stop the Big White Snake, how are we supposed to stop it?" Colonel Inoue Chuntian gritted his teeth in anger.
"But if the Big White Snake enters the city..." the company commander's face showed worry. He wasn't afraid of the citizens of Kobe City being killed, but rather that they would be held accountable after the citizens were killed.
"That won't be our responsibility; it's Nakamura Ono and his men who failed to stop the Big White Snake." Colonel Inoue Chuntian said righteously.
"Yes, sir!" Hearing Colonel Inoue Chuntian's words, the company commander instantly steeled himself.
Jiang Feng soon discovered that the artillery fire had stopped.
But he wasn't worried; he already knew the direction.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang Feng saw the outline of a city ahead.
"Heh, what an unexpected joy."
Jiang Feng was just worrying about not being able to find a densely populated area; he didn't expect those people who bombarded him to have done him a favor.
Jiang Feng couldn't be bothered to specifically look for the people who bombarded him. If those people wanted to hide, it would be impossible for him, a single snake, to find them in such a large Sakura Country.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Feng's eyes.
"Since that's the case, I'll collect some interest in your city."
