Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Shedding Snake Skin
The night was deep.
Han Zhan and his team of four traveled under the cover of night, moving in complete darkness without any lighting.
Night vision devices were disabled.
The Yexieqi Snake Race has a keen sense of electromagnetic disturbances. If Han Zhan and the others are detected prematurely, the mission will be compromised.
Moreover, they had to wear special night travel clothes developed by Can Shang Technology to prevent being detected by the opponent’s night vision.
The difficulty of completing the mission increased dramatically between coming and going.
Fortunately, the team were all Spirit Contract Masters and Contracted Spirits. The difficulty was still within an acceptable range.
Han Zhan and the others climbed over mountains.
The mission coordinates have already been distributed to each of their communication devices.
This is just in case.
If any of them encounter a mishap, the others must continue and complete the mission.
Han Zhan glanced at the surrounding dense forest and the thick soil beneath their feet—it was hard to imagine these were the "works" of a powerful Spirit Contract Master.
Moving Mountains and Filling Seas—to achieve such a feat, how powerful must the Spirit Contract Master be?
Indeed, there are people beyond people, skies beyond skies.
Deep Blue City is still too small.
Just as Han Zhan was thinking, sothing soft suddenly dangled onto his face.
A strange, strong scent began to perate the air.
The sll was like the stench of sea products from a previous life, left to rot after days in the sun.
Not only Han Zhan, but the other three also slled it.
Walking at the front, Xiao Ya stopped.
"Increase alertness, we’re very close to the mission target."
"Isn’t it possible that we’ve already arrived?" Han Zhan suddenly said, pointing above them.
Everyone looked up.
They saw a thin, gray-white mbrane hanging there.
What had dangled onto Han Zhan’s face was this thing.
Not only above them, but as far as they could see, it stretched deep into the night.
"What is that?" Cai Shifang asked instinctively.
Xiao Ya shook his head; he didn’t know either.
At this mont, Han Zhan spoke.
"It’s snake shedding."
"Every ti the Yexieqi Snake Race advances a rank, they shed their skin."
"The shed snake skin not only continues to emit a scent that intimidates other Insect Races but also has concealnt and insulation effects."
"These cunning Yexieqi Snake Race creatures hid snake eggs within."
Before they could be surprised at how knowledgeable Han Zhan was, they saw nurous translucent snake eggs where Han Zhan pointed.
They were enveloped in white mucus, tightly attached to the snake shedding overhead.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ya opened the mapping device he carried with him.
Activating the device, an invisible light film spread instantly.
On the small screen of the mapping device, the images of the snake shedding and snake eggs quickly began to form.
"The result is out!"
"The snake shedding is 6730 ters long with billions of snake eggs attached, confird as the mission target, the Snake’s Nest, without a doubt!"
After reaching the conclusion, Xiao Ya was ready to start burning and purifying the area.
Thousands of ters of snake shedding—wanting to clear it all at once is challenging.
Especially after Han Zhan and the others completely entered the Snake’s Nest, the snake eggs began emitting faint trembling sounds as if sensing sothing.
The trembling sound from an egg is indeed faint.
But don’t forget that there are over a billion eggs here!
When all the snake eggs tremble loudly together, the sound is unimaginably loud, like a huge roar in the ears, almost bursting their eardrums.
Cai Shifang felt dizzy from the trembling sound.
He instinctively stepped forward to ease the discomfort, but to his surprise, suddenly felt empty beneath him, and he fell headlong forward!
The mountain had been plowed into a deep ravine, covered with wild grass, unnoticed initially.
Luckily, Xi Xiaoqian quickly grabbed him.
Close call!
Before the two of them could catch their breath, a massive cha suddenly fell toward them!
It was Xiao Ya!
He had activated the cha armant, intending to start clearing the Snake’s Nest as scheduled, unaware that the trembling sounds had a huge impact on the cha, causing it to lose control.
The uncontrolled cha rolled toward Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian.
It was about to crush them and land them into the abyss.
At this mont, the speed of the out-of-control cha suddenly dropped.
Han Zhan reached out and grabbed the chanical arm worn by Xiao Ya!
Xiao Ya was shocked by this sudden scene. The cha he wore was a third-generation combat cha from Can Shang Technology, with an overall weight of over 500kg.
Even as a cha Manipulator, it requires more than half a year of training to control it freely.
But Han Zhan, he rely reached out with one hand and grabbed the out-of-control cha?!
How strong was he?
Xiao Ya was indeed Captain Xiao; facing such circumstances, he could still make the most rational judgnt.
"Han Zhan, let go of ." Xiao Ya’s electronic voice from the cha echoed, "Priority the mission, continue the execution!"
"I will detach the two Fla Burning Spears on the combat cha. You go complete the subsequent tasks!"
Upon hearing Xiao Ya’s response, Han Zhan instinctively glanced at the empty abyss beneath their feet.
Unfathomable.
Even wearing the cha, falling like this would likely cause severe injuries.
Moreover, there were two team mbers below. If the cha fell, it would bring them down into the abyss.
"Saving people is important." After contemplating, Han Zhan made his judgnt.
"You’re full of it! Han Zhan, follow the command! Stop saving, execute the mission!" Xiao Ya cursed angrily. The strange trembling sound waves disrupted the cha’s central control platform, and the tail fla flying device couldn’t activate, which he attributed to his negligence.
On the battlefield, a small mistake can lead to a fatal outco.
"Han Zhan, listen to : the task deadline issued by the second warzone coincides with the snake eggs’ incubation ti. If the clean-up is not completed within the given ti, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Even if we fall from here, there’s at least a chance of survival."
"But if you don’t try to clear these snake eggs now, once they hatch..."
Before Xiao Ya could finish,
he suddenly felt himself lifted slightly.
Through the screen, Xiao Ya could visibly see himself being slowly pulled back from the edge of the abyss!
Then Cai Shifang and Xi Xiaoqian.
Once they were all pulled up, they lay on the ground, gasping heavily.
The feeling of hanging by a thread was terrifying. They barely managed to utter their thanks to Han Zhan,
crack.
The crisp sound of egg shells breaking echoed clearly throughout the snake shedding nest.
