133: Giant Snake and Genetically Modified Warriors
It had been a long time since the giant snake had eaten so heartily; the last time it could feast so freely dated back to its first arrival in this area.
At that time, relying on its powerful strength, it ran rampant in this area, and its prey was completely powerless to resist, leading to it devouring all the creatures in this region.
Meanwhile, Li Yang, far away on the fleet, clearly observed the giant snake feasting unrestrainedly through the real-time projected footage.
Li Yang's gaze flickered slightly, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.
“Perfect, I’ll use you to test the strength of the Gene-Modified Warriors.”
He then turned to Pal and decisively gave an order.
“Pal, order all Gene-Modified Warriors to attack that giant snake.”
At this moment, the giant snake, completely unguarded and immersed in the pleasure of eating, had no idea that the “food” around it, which had been like dead objects, had begun to move stealthily.
As the order was given, all the Gene-Modified Warriors were instantly activated.
Their blood-red, yet lusterless eyes, like lit red lamps, stared fixedly at the giant snake, revealing a mechanical coldness.
Before the giant snake could even react to what was happening, various attacks came like a torrential storm.
The Gene-Modified Warriors wielding melee weapons rushed towards the giant snake without hesitation, like wound-up machines.
They swung their weapons with all their might, furiously striking the giant snake's body. For a time, light swords flashed, constantly hacking at the giant snake's scales, sending sparks flying.
And those Gene-Modified Warriors holding ranged weapons stood neatly to the side, silently pulling their triggers.
Beams of energy and countless bullets rained down on the giant snake like dense raindrops.
These sudden attacks caught the giant snake completely off guard.
In just an instant, its massive body was covered in dense wounds, and crimson snake blood gushed out, staining the surrounding land blood-red.
The pained giant snake finally came to its senses, feeling an unprecedented threat.
It let out an angry roar, and its huge body whipped out forcefully, like a black steel whip, directly smashing several Gene-Modified Warriors closest to it into minced meat with an overwhelming force.
Broken limbs and splattered blood arced grotesquely in mid-air, a gruesome and tragic scene.
Through the projected view, Li Yang, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, a hint of helplessness and disappointment in his eyes.
“Indeed, even after gene modification, the inherent foundation is simply too poor…”
Gene modification technology is not as miraculous as people imagine, capable of casually transforming an ordinary person into a super-powered Hulk.
This technology has its own rules: the stronger the biological entity being modified, the greater the enhancement it can achieve after modification.
However, given the strength of the races on Planet A, even with modification, the heights they could reach were very limited.
Although Li Yang had never held high expectations for these Gene-Modified Warriors from the start, intending to use them merely as cannon fodder, this scene still made him realize how fragile these modified warriors were when facing truly powerful opponents.
“Pal, send down a fighter Squad for support.”
Li Yang stared intently at the projected image, frowning slightly.
The Gene-Modified Warriors' performance against the giant snake, though expected, still made him reluctant to let these rare “test subjects” die so easily, especially since more information about the xuanhuan civilization's strength needed to be gathered through actual combat.
“Yes!”
Pal responded quickly, and as his command was issued, the main ship's enormous hangar door slowly opened. Five Imperial Planetary-class fighters, like five steel eagles poised for flight, smoothly exited the bay in an orderly fashion.
The fighters shimmered with a cold metallic gleam, their streamlined bodies reflecting dazzling light under the sun. The fighter formation quickly adjusted its direction and sped towards Planet B like lightning.
At this moment, on the battlefield of Planet B, the giant snake was still fiercely entangled with the Gene-Modified Warriors.
Although the individual strength of these Gene-Modified Warriors seemed insignificant before the giant snake, they had the advantage of sheer numbers.
Dense swarms of Gene-Modified Warriors surrounded the giant snake like a tide, layer upon layer, seemingly endless.
As the saying goes, “ants can kill an elephant,” and facing so many opponents, even the mighty giant snake gradually began to falter.
Its once swift and powerful attacks became increasingly weak over time, and each swing of its body seemed more difficult.
A desire to retreat was subtly emerging in the giant snake's eyes. It struggled to twist its massive body, attempting to find a way out of the dense encirclement.
However, after it looked around, a wave of despair washed over its heart.
All around were the tireless, relentlessly attacking Gene-Modified Warriors; it was completely surrounded, with no escape route left.
Seeing escape was hopeless, the giant snake let out a deafening roar, its voice filled with anger and unwillingness.
Immediately after, it violently opened its enormous mouth, capable of devouring everything, and sprayed a large amount of purple viscous liquid, emitting an eerie glow, in all directions.
This viscous liquid, like water from a high-pressure hose, splattered outwards at an extremely fast speed.
The Gene-Modified Warriors whose bodies were touched by this purple liquid instantly emitted a “sizzling” sound, as if being corroded by strong sulfuric acid.
Large amounts of purplish-black smoke quickly rose from their bodies, accompanied by a pungent odor, and their flesh and blood were completely corroded away within a few seconds.
This terrifying move instantly killed many Gene-Modified Warriors.
However, the Gene-Modified Warriors around it were still dense, continuously surging forward like a tide.
After spraying continuously for several minutes, the giant snake also gradually felt its strength failing. Its body began to tremble slightly, and it slowly slumped to the ground, exhausted.
The purple viscous liquid stored within its body was completely depleted after this frantic spraying.
Having lost this powerful means of attack and exhausted its physical strength, the giant snake was now like a lamb awaiting slaughter, only able to watch as these “little things” furiously attacked it.
More and more wounds appeared on its massive body, and its life force rapidly drained away amidst the intense assault.
Without the giant snake's vigorous resistance, it wasn't long before its entire body was covered in wounds of all sizes, and its blood stained the surrounding land red.
Finally, amidst the dense attacks, the giant snake let out one last faint roar, completely closed its eyes, and ended its struggling life.
However, because they had not received Li Yang's order to cease attack, the Gene-Modified Warriors continued to mechanically execute their instructions, still furiously attacking the giant snake's already deceased corpse.
Broken scales and splattered flesh flew in all directions under their merciless assault.
