Chapter 2032 - 1540: Three-eyed Viper! (Part 3)
Qin Fang didn't know if the blade of the modified human could pierce the snake skin of the three-eyed viper, but at least his Flowing Shadow Divine Sword should have a good chance.However, Qin Fang did not rush to act but continued to stay hidden. He even proactively stepped onto the top of the passage to hide himself well so as not to be innocently involved.
In such a narrow passage, if the three-eyed viper and the modified human were to fight, retreating wouldn't be so easy for Qin Fang.
If he got involved, not only would he fail to be the one waiting for an opportunity, but he might also face the dual attacks of the three-eyed viper and the modified human... This was not something Qin Fang wanted to happen.
Luckily, although the passage was narrow, its height was still barely manageable. Qin Fang climbed to the top and pressed his body against the stone wall, which allowed him to remain safe.
Hiss~~~
However, before Qin Fang had fully prepared, the three-eyed viper couldn't wait any longer and launched an attack against the modified human.
The snake's body, as thick as an arm, instantly turned into a black phantom, shooting swiftly toward the modified human.
Its speed was as fast as lightning, reaching the modified human practically in the blink of an eye, and its gaping maw seemed like it wanted to swallow the modified human whole.
"Tsk tsk, they say greed knows no bounds, like a snake swallowing an elephant—I've seen it now..."
This saying is known by many, but such an event is rare to witness, yet it unfolded right before his eyes.
Compared to some snakes on land, the three-eyed viper is already quite large, about two to three meters long, with a body as thick as a grown man's arm.
But this modified human is also very burly and robust, standing at 1.9 meters tall and weighing at least over 100 kilograms, built entirely of strong muscles infused with metal, making him not only sturdy but also quite heavy.
With such a massive physique, it is definitely not easy for the three-eyed viper to swallow him...
However, this three-eyed viper is already a quasi-spirit beast. Its intelligence has developed to some extent—not comparable to humans, but it possesses some level of thinking ability.
Qin Fang estimated that the main goal of this three-eyed viper was not to swallow the modified human but at least to bite him once...
Most of the three-eyed viper's strength lies in its venom, which allows it to easily kill many enemies—its greatest advantage, which isn't something it would overlook.
Bam~~
But the modified human isn't a weakling either and naturally could anticipate the three-eyed viper's plan. As the viper approached, he abruptly swung his blade, slashing toward the viper's body...
The three-eyed viper's speed was incredible, but the modified human's was not slow either with precise timing and distance calculation. Unless the viper dodged, the modified human's blade would definitely hit it hard at the critical juncture of its body...
Could the three-eyed viper dodge?
Obviously not!
Because everything was happening in a flash, it was an instinctive move, leaving no time for any changes.
Bam~~
With a muffled sound, the modified human's blade slashed harshly at the critical part of the viper's body, while it also bit fiercely at the modified human's chest.
Soon, the three-eyed viper's long body was heavily slammed down to the ground... The modified human's strike was not only fierce but also surprisingly powerful.
The viper's body was large, but it couldn't withstand such tremendous force and was directly knocked.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss~~
Just as Qin Fang expected, the toughness of the three-eyed viper's skin was not at all inferior to that of the Xuan Shui Python's skin.
Though the modified human's alloy-forged blade was sturdy and sharp, it failed to inflict any damage to the viper's body...
At most, the harsh smashing caused the viper to become even more irritable, its flicking tongue adding a chilling sensation.
Of course, the viper also managed to bite the modified human, leaving two fang marks, which turned black, indicating the venom's potency.
However, this modified human has impressive defensive capabilities. Even though the viper bit him, it couldn't penetrate his skin.
Coupled with the modified human's quick actions and immense strength, within such a short span, it might not have caused serious harm.
"Things aren't looking good~~~"
As an observer, Qin Fang could see more clearly and couldn't help furrowing his brows. The modified human seemed quite disadvantageous against this three-eyed viper.
Though it appeared as if both sides emerged unscathed from the first encounter, seemingly a standstill situation, it was actually quite unfavorable for the modified human.
The modified human had strong defenses, relying mainly on those blades for attack, yet even striking the crucial underbelly of the viper didn't harm it substantially, which wasn't good news.
Although the modified human resisted the viper's venom, it didn't mean much... because some venoms aren't only transmitted through bites.
"Poison fog~~~~"
The modified human perhaps hadn't noticed that as the three-eyed viper flicked its tongue, its venom was already turning into faint poison fog.
This meant that the modified human unwittingly inhaled a considerable amount of poison fog...
"Looks like you won't last much longer..."
The modified human boasts unparalleled defense, but it is only surface protection. Once the poison fog enters the lungs, the potent toxin will seep outwards from within, quickly proving lethal.
According to Qin Fang's judgment on this fog's toxicity, it won't be long... (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote at Qidian (qidian.com); your support is my greatest motivation.)
