503: Chapter 502: Bloody Massacre 503: Chapter 502: Bloody Massacre “Stop!” The little leader’s pupils suddenly constricted, thinking to himself that there indeed was something fishy!
But what exactly were those bubbles constantly emerging?
Could there still be someone hiding in the swamp?
All the members around him halted in their tracks.
They carefully watched the direction of Ning Fan, as well as the bubbles that were growing bigger and more numerous with the passage of time.
Ning Fan let out a slight sigh of relief; it seemed that the Scaled Serpent simply couldn’t let go of him.
Since that was the case, he might as well have a good time playing along.
A few seconds later, a huge black head slowly emerged from the swampy mire, followed by a section of its thick black body, the length of which hidden in the swamp was unknown!
The crimson eyes, glowing with a red luster, stared fixedly at Ning Fan in front of them.
But that little leader didn’t realize it was eying Ning Fan.
He merely saw Ning Fan standing there leisurely, with a ferocious Scaled Serpent emerging behind him, its eyes fixed intently in their direction.
This scene looked as though the Scaled Serpent was Ning Fan’s pet!
No wonder, no wonder this guy was so arrogant as to barge in here alone; no wonder the previous team members had been hunted down without a sound.
It turned out, this fellow had such a terrifying helper!
Sometimes, people’s imaginations truly are boundless, and to that little leader, it looked entirely like Ning Fan had come with his pet to take care of them.
“Haha…
Still think I’ve walked right into a trap?” Ning Fan laughed heartily.
Even though Ning Fan was laughing, only he knew how tense he was at that moment, with the black Scaled Serpent right behind him, which could attack him at any moment.
He dared not delay any longer.
After a burst of laughter, he took a step towards the little leader and charged at him.
“Come on, follow me and we’ll wipe them out!” Ning Fan yelled, dashing out ahead.
And the Scaled Serpent, seeing its prey attempting to escape again, how could it let it do so?
In the eyes of the Scaled Serpent, the prey in front of it had discovered itself and started to make a fuss about running away again.
Without a word, the Scaled Serpent twisted its body in the swamp and swiftly wriggled over.
The little leader, looking at the situation, saw Ning Fan with a ‘pet’ full of killing intent rushing over behind him, and goosebumps sprouted all over his body.
“Attack, kill that damned thing!” the little leader shouted.
In the Primeval Forest, they had never chosen to be hostile to Scaled Serpents, such natural species having certain innate advantages.
Moreover, it was said that there were some mutant Scaled Serpents bred in the Primeval Forest.
But that was just a legend; they had not expected to actually encounter one now.
Since they had encountered it, it was time to fight, but he did not believe they could kill this Scaled Serpent.
After shouting, the little leader looked at a few individuals beside him and said, “Call back all the members of the Patrol Team from around.”
Having said that, the little leader turned his head again to look toward Ning Fan, but Ning Fan was gone!
That’s right, he had disappeared.
The Ning Fan who had been charging at the forefront had suddenly vanished when he got close.
The little leader was taken aback for a moment, wondering how he could have just disappeared like that?
But although Ning Fan was gone, the Scaled Serpent was still there!
The Scaled Serpent looked around the spot, making sure that Ning Fan had truly disappeared.
Although the little people in front of its eyes were of the same species as Ning Fan in the eyes of the Scaled Serpent, they all seemed like his companions.
But the monster had no intention of killing these people; its target was Ning Fan.
Poking its head out, the monster carefully distinguished Ning Fan’s location in mid-air.
Soon, it found where Ning Fan was hiding, and at the moment, Ning Fan was standing on the trunk of a large tree just outside the battlefield, ready to watch the spectacle.
Seeing the monster’s head turn in his direction, Ning Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
Can’t be, is it still fixated on me?
Ning Fan thought incredulously.
If the monster was determined to kill him and not the others, wouldn’t that ruin his plan?
Unfortunately, that indeed was what the monster had in mind.
However, the soldiers had already received their orders.
Scared of such a ghastly being, they decisively pulled out their guns and started firing at the monster with a barrage of shots.
The previously silent depths of the Primeval Forest were suddenly disrupted by the sound of gunfire.
“Uh…” Ning Fan found himself speechless, standing on the tree trunk, muttering with a wry smile, “Smart of you to keep this thing at bay for me.”
But these people were simply courting death.
The bullets, in power, were similar to the palm blades Ning Fan had used before, and likewise, could not penetrate the monster’s tough outer skin.
However, the impact area of a bullet was much smaller.
Even though they didn’t penetrate, it still hurt!
The monster’s body rolled violently as the bullets struck it, each one feeling like a steel needle relentlessly pricking its flesh.
The red of the monster’s eyes blazed to the extreme, and it completely lost its mind in a frenzy.
With a twist of its body, it flung several men nearby with a swipe of its tail.
Their bodies were not as durable as Ning Fan’s; they hit trees and were smashed dead on impact.
But there were too many people around, and sweeping away just a few was utterly futile.
Shaking its gigantic head, the monster swallowed several men by its side in one gulp and, with a flick of its forked tongue, began a one-sided slaughter.
The face of the little leader paled to the extreme; seeing that so many bullets had no effect on the monster, he knew he had caused a disaster today.
Not only was Harris dead, but even his own men were probably suffering heavy casualties by now.
He couldn’t let all his men perish here.
“Retreat, everyone retreat!” the little leader yelled frantically.
But beneath the cover of gunfire, no one heard his voice.
Still, a subordinate kept his calm, pulling a flare from his pocket and firing it into the sky.
With a loud bang, the flare’s light made the swamp even brighter, and they finally received the signal to retreat.
But with their numbers so extensive, retreating was not as simple as it sounded.
The monster continued its massacre, with screams and the sound of its body striking the marsh blending with the sound of gunfire, carrying far into the night sky.
Blood stained the swamp red, and limbs lay scattered all around.
Some with broken arms or legs, others with serious injuries, amidst the mud and above the swamp, they struggled one by one, watching in fear as the monster in front of them continued to slaughter their comrades.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Tonight was destined to be a night of bloodshed!
