Ryan turned his head and saw that the giant snake on the ground had flown into the air. Its huge body blocked the moonlight, and then it curled up into a ball, like a glowing thunder ball, rolling down with a roar.
Boom boom boom......
A "tire" rolled across the island, leaving behind only lava-like trails wherever it passed, chasing after the enemy closely.
Ryan turned his head and saw the huge "tire" being destroyed with ease, and his eyes became solemn.
This thing can suppress breath and launch long-distance assassinations. If I hadn't been sensitive to electromagnetic forces and had already been hit, I could have used my physical advantages to maximize my abilities.
The crushing speed was very fast and the turning was very flexible, so I couldn't turn around to attack them, and then use those Honkai beasts and mutant beasts to consume my physical strength.
A very insidious tactic, proving that Shesha is indeed intelligent and is constantly learning in his cat-and-mouse game with Fire Moth.
"But you haven't learned enough!"
Surrounded by cold air, the Honkai beast that was crossing the sea was being stopped by Ying and her sword. The speed of the "electric wheel" chasing behind was getting slower and slower. Upon closer observation, some black sand was constantly sticking to Shesha's body.
Ryan has used the power of the Third Herrscher to great effect. He used electromagnetic force to suck the iron sand out of the soil, just like coating the constantly rotating "electric wheel" with a layer of chocolate. When Shesha slowed down, he suddenly turned around.
In front of the spinning Honkai beast, Ryan looked extremely small, as if he was about to be swallowed up in an instant. He had no expression on his face, he just threw up 'Chi Xiao' and then raised his right fist high.
He exerted all his strength and struck the disc-shaped sword head heavily. The electric arc quickly spread from his arm to the entire sword body. With flashes of light, Chi Xiao turned into a laser and burst out of the sword.
It swept through the night, penetrated Shesha, obliterated the mountains and forests, leaving only a blue trail, just like——
Thunder opens the sky!
Chapter 108 Is This a Surprise?
The night sky seemed to be cut in half by a blue sword, with arcs of electricity still remaining in its azure trail.
This straight line extended all the way, leaving a lava-like trace on the ground, and finally split the hill in the center of the deserted island into two, turning it into a blazing torch.
The residual electricity flickered in Ryan's body. He looked at Shesha who was stagnant in front of him, and his breath was like smoke.
There were no Fire Moth drones here, and no one was watching. Soul Steel could withstand the torture, so he could go all out and wreak havoc.
And this destructive power undoubtedly made him very satisfied.
"If I don't have authority, I may not be its opponent even if we have equal energy." Ryan acknowledged Shesha's ability and did not approach rashly.
The Honkai Beast was still curled up in a ball, with a hole about a meter in size running through the center of its body. Through the hole, one could see a hill in the distance that had been cut off, but it wasn't dead yet, and the two green marks on its chest gave it a 'gaze'-like feeling.
This 'gaze' was particularly cold, without any intention of begging for mercy, which made Ryan feel troubled.
Shesha can't speak, so how can I ask it why it is waiting for me here? If it were Beibeilong, there would be plenty of ways to make her speak.
How about trying using mental power?
Ryan was somewhat tempted, but before he could gather his mental strength, the stagnant Shesha suddenly emitted a strong light, and while destroying the attached iron sand, the collapse energy soared.
It's going to self-destruct?!
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the strong light illuminated Ryan's face.
boom--
A beam of purple light surged into the sky, piercing through the dark clouds, leaving behind a vortex-like lightning storm, and then the remaining lightning swept around along the sea surface.
The island was flattened, and everything within ten kilometers was swept up. The forest was destroyed, the sea evaporated, the Honkai beast turned directly into charcoal, and the abandoned town was completely razed to the ground. Even the drone that flew over to check the situation was hit by the strong electromagnetic pulse and fell into the sea like scrap metal.
The night was as bright as day, the sky was like a dancing lightning snake, with bolts of lightning flashing continuously, and the energy burst from Shesha created an effect like a natural disaster.
A piece of ice shattered in the storm, and Ying crawled out from it, looking at the scene around her in confusion.
"Is this a Judgment-level Honkai beast?"
If I hadn't reacted quickly and used the 'Cold Sakura' to create a shelter, I would have turned into charcoal along with those Honkai beasts.
It's so terrifying. The damage can cover an area of 100 kilometers, and even the ground has carbonization marks.
By the way, where did Ryan go?
She quickly stood up and looked around, but could see nothing except silver snake-like lightning and piles of charred corpses.
The sea area went from silence to noise, and then returned to silence again amid thunder.
Her heart sank instantly, but Ying didn't show any sadness. She just took a breath of the hot air, stabbed the long knife into the water, created a road of ice on the sea surface, and rushed straight to the center of the explosion.
This small island of several square kilometers was completely flattened. There was no trace of the originally lush green forest. The ground was full of large pits caused by lightning, and the air was scorching hot and uncomfortable.
"No way......"
Sakura's expression finally changed a little. She swallowed and approached the center of the island with a knife. There was a huge crater there. When she looked down, she could only see the lava-like bottom of the crater.
There is nothing. Did he really die together with Shesha?
Her expression froze, but the scorching air made her feel a bone-chilling cold. Her originally calm brain became a little confused, but at this moment, her shoulder was gently patted.
"You're here too early...Relax, it's me." Ryan leaned back and saw the blade next to his neck. Looking along the 'Cold Cherry', he could see the pair of cold purple eyes.
Those jewel-like eyes showed some astonishment, some ecstasy, and a little anger.
"Ryan, you're not dead?"
"Nonsense, is it a ghost talking to you?" Ryan laughed. This Ying was very calm most of the time, but sometimes he would be dazed. Seeing the blade falling, he couldn't help but make a joke:
"How did you feel when you thought I was dead just now? Were you sad?"
Ying made a knife flower, sheathed the knife, and nodded seriously: "Of course I am sad. You are very important to me and you are someone I can entrust to Ling, so I hope you don't sneak out and scare me. That's boring."
Ryan was stunned. He was used to Mebius's tough talk and Hua's dullness, so he was unfamiliar with this kind of straightforward expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Sakura tilted her head slightly.
"Ahem, I didn't mean to scare you on purpose. The self-destruction of a Judgment-level Honkai beast is indeed very powerful. Fortunately, the terrain here is good."
Ryan just dived into the sea, and then used his authority to form an electromagnetic field to fight against the Honkai energy, so he didn't suffer any injuries.
Although he did not have the ability to control Shesha, since they were both electromagnetic forces, his control was obviously higher, and he had been prepared for it.
"It's a pity that Shesha's body is nowhere to be found. Our mission has failed." Ying shook her head. With an energy explosion of that magnitude, not even a trace would be left.
"Don't be so pessimistic. I said Honkai is evolving, and the speed is beyond my imagination."
Ryan jumped into the bottom of the pit, then used Chi Xiao to dig out the lava. Ying followed and saw some black muddy water mixed in the lava. Ryan was putting the muddy water into a metal container.
"This is?"
"Shesha's second ability, self-destruction is just a way to get out of this situation, this thing is not dead at all."
"It... is so smart that it has learned to use sleight of hand." Ying swallowed and quickly scanned the surroundings. She saw a big hole on one side of the round pit and jumped over it instantly.
She placed her hand on the hole, feeling it carefully for a few seconds, her pupils shrinking slightly.
"There is wind, there is a passage in here, it escaped!"
"He did escape. Wait, don't chase him yet."
Ying had almost gone into the cave, but after hearing this, she turned back in confusion: "We should still be able to catch up with it now, are you planning to let it go?"
Ryan didn't look anxious at all. He squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Something is wrong. I need to look down on myself from a higher dimension, link all the information of this incident together, analyze it, analyze it with all my strength.
His brain was working at full speed, as if his soul had left his body. After a brief hesitation, he raised his hand.
"No rush. There are plenty of opportunities to kill it, but what if Shesha has no intention of escaping at all?"
"You mean... it's luring us to chase it?" Ying was surprised. She admitted that Shesha was smarter than she thought, but luring the enemy was too sensational.
From wisdom to tactics, are these monsters going to cheat?
No, there is another source of collapse that has not appeared.
Sakura immediately thought of this information, but there were too many interference options. It was possible that the Fire Moth's instrument had malfunctioned, or it was possible that another source of Honkai had gone their separate ways.
"If they were together, would it just watch Shesha explode?"
"Don't use human emotions to understand these monsters. They don't have feelings for their companions, so you have to be on guard." Ryan adjusted his cracked glasses. This had nothing to do with intuition. It was just an analysis of the existing intelligence, like a bird's-eye view from a God's perspective:
Since Shesha is intelligent, he should not be stupid enough to fight me alone. Apart from the huge loss of energy after the self-explosion, it is a complete loss-making deal. As an intelligent and rational creature, this is unreasonable.
Secondly, it escaped too obviously, without even a hint of cover-up. There is a problem, absolutely a problem.
"You're not dirty enough to play tactics with me."
Ryan fell silent as he stared at the dark cave entrance. Ying did not urge him, but just held up a knife and kept watch on the surroundings.
She knew that this man was not a reckless man, but his heart was dirtier than anyone else's.
Finally, the low-level Honkai beast was just testing me. It could tell from its authority that it was me who was coming. Then it didn't run away for a whole day and fought a fierce battle with me. This contradicts the second speculation.
If you can't beat them, why don't you run away? If the two sources of collapse are not far apart, why don't you wait for your companions to support you? Such an absolutely rational creature cannot have hatred.
After a few seconds, Ryan raised his head and said in a firm tone:
"It wants to kill me, or rather, it specifically lured me here."
"what?"
"I said it wanted to kill me. With Shesha's ability to conceal his presence, there was no need for a sneak attack. Even if the sneak attack failed, he could just run away. Why did he stay?"
"Uh...but it can't beat you. If you have companions, why don't you ambush on the island? You won't be able to hold out if it's two against one."
Ying was really professional. She found the logical loophole in an instant. She saw that Ryan had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle.
"Simple, it wants to make sure to kill me and not give me a chance to escape." Ryan answered without hesitation, pointing to the cave entrance, "I don't know where this leads to, but if I go in, I will definitely not be able to get out."
Ying was speechless for a while. Anyway, it was her turn to charge in, so she said helplessly: "What are we going to do now?"
"Go find a ship and notify the Fire Chaser anonymously, saying that two Honkai beasts were found, but their coordinates are unknown. Also, help me check who in the Destruction Fleet has high Honkai adaptability. I have a worst-case hypothesis that needs to be verified."
"Are you really leaving? What if you're wrong? Wouldn't all your work be in vain?" Ying said unwillingly.
"I'll take risks when I need to, and I'll save my life when I need to. As long as Shesha is still on Earth, he can't escape. There's no need for me to take risks." Ryan turned around decisively without any hesitation.
There are many greedy people, but very few can resist the temptation in front of them. Ying even thinks that this man is a bit anti-human, but his decisiveness also resonates with her.
He is indeed a legendary killer.
Sakura would not object or question, she followed Ryan's footsteps and hurried away.
The two went straight to the outermost isolated island. The thunderstorm had a limited coverage area, and there were still ruins of a town ten kilometers away. In addition to the houses that were destroyed by lightning, there were still some ships left in the port.
If you miss the first strike, you will immediately leave. You are not the only one who can hunt.
