Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1718 Wrong Bet

The moment he rushed out of the tent, with the help of the firelight in the camp, a half-human, half-snake monster came into Fisher's view.

Among humans, Fisher's physique is definitely considered tall and robust.

However, when faced with the snake-man before him, he was still a head shorter.

However, Fisher remained calm in the face of the snake-man who was rushing towards him. With a swipe of his sword, he instantly cut the snake-man in two with a flash of light!

After all, he was a Vajra Realm martial artist. Back then, he could cut down big green-skinned guys as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. Now that these snake-men have come out, the situation has obviously not changed.

"Everyone, assemble! Form firing formation!!"

As Fisher swung his sword to kill the snake-men, he loudly summoned his soldiers to gather in his direction.

After slaying four or five snake-men, he was basically certain that these snake-men were indeed physically strong, far superior to ordinary human soldiers.

However, in terms of physical fitness, the big green guy should have the upper hand.

However, snake people also have their advantages, namely, they are more agile and swift compared to big guys.

To be honest, this type of enemy is actually more troublesome for them.

With his agile and swift movements, coupled with his ability to raid at night, he's a nightmare to be reckoned with.

Not to mention, these snake-people are clearly more quick-witted than the big guy...

Having figured this out, Fisher's expression quickly turned serious.

Currently, all the soldiers stationed on the Smith Republic side have been equipped with flintlock muskets.

However, for the flintlock musket to be effective in large-scale conflicts, it needs to be assembled in a certain number of people and fired in formation; otherwise, its actual effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

However, the snake-man before them was skilled at night raids and close-quarters melee combat, which greatly limited the effectiveness of the flintlock pistol.

There's no point in being frustrated about the current situation; the important thing is how to solve it.

With his sword swung wildly, Fisher controlled the situation on his own.

After killing another snake-man, Fisher suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Almost simultaneously, from the darkness behind them, a dark figure approached rapidly like an arrow released from a bow.

Before Fisher could react, a long snake tail wrapped around his body and tightened rapidly. Just as the snake king was about to reveal his fangs, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

It's a true qi shield!
The instant he sensed the danger, Fisher almost instinctively activated his inner energy shield, which pressed against his skin to form a protective layer.

The snake coiled around Fisher tightened rapidly, its scales rubbing against the protective shield, almost sparking.

He was well aware of the strength of his strangulation technique; an ordinary target would be strangled to death in an instant.

If this move couldn't break through his defenses, then his teeth weren't good enough to bite through the opponent's protective shield.

This discovery prompted the Snake King to change his tactics on the spot, immediately switching from a venomous fang attack to a swift double-dagger stabbing!

But Fisher was no pushover either; he was a true practitioner of combat. Relying on the presence of his true energy shield, he chose to fight fire with fire, swinging his sword at his opponent!

After a round of back-and-forth attacks, Fisher's expression changed slightly.

"The Vajra Realm?!"

At this moment, the snake-man wrapped around him undoubtedly possessed the strength of the Vajra Realm.

This immediately put Fisher on high alert.

"Get out of my way!!"

With a roar, Fisher attempted to force his opponent back with his powerful and sweeping attacks.

However, snake people are extremely skilled in close-quarters combat. They're the type who wrap their entire snake body around their target! The Snake King is especially adept at this!
Even Fisher, with his extensive combat experience, had never encountered such a situation in all his years.

The extreme closeness and substantial restraint made Fisher quickly realize that he couldn't move freely at this distance.

On the other hand, his opponent was like a fish in water, constantly launching attacks at him with a pair of small, agile, and deadly daggers.

At that moment, a strong sense of crisis erupted in Fisher's heart.

He realized the situation was bad; he had to get rid of the snake-man's entanglement, or at least distance himself from him!

But once you're entangled by a snake-man, how easy is it to get rid of them?
"Interesting. It's surprising that there are humans who can elevate their strength to this level. I wonder how you taste?"

In the eyes of the Snake King, Fisher had become nothing more than fish on his chopping board.

Escape? No way!
Compared to the Snake King's ease and composure, Fisher became increasingly flustered as the fight progressed.

Because he realized that he was completely powerless against his opponent and could only let his opponent use those daggers to continuously deplete his true energy.

Even more terrifying was the long snake body, which continued to exert pressure on him.

The true qi shield cannot withstand an unlimited number of attacks.

Basically, the higher the intensity of the attack, the greater the consumption of true energy.

If an attack with exceptionally strong explosive power exceeds the protective limit of the true qi shield, the shield will be forcibly shattered.

As it stands, while the Serpent King's offensive is swift, its attack intensity is not particularly high.

At least the opponent doesn't have the super-powerful means to forcibly destroy his true energy shield.

However, the opponent's ability to wear down their opponents is extremely strong.

The snake's bindings tightened, and the dagger attacks were synchronized, causing Fisher to suffer double the damage.

In the current situation, he is clearly trapped in a dead end on his own, but who can save him?

In the Kingdom of Smith, he was the only warrior at the Vajra Realm.

At present, although the garrison camp still has combat power at the Hundred Refinement Realm level, they are too busy to defend themselves against the snake people's night attack.

The next second, the protective aura shield, unable to withstand the weight, shattered like glass, and the Snake King's thick and powerful snake body finally tightened completely around Fisher's body.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Fisher, who was almost at his wit's end, could only unleash all the true energy in his body to fight the Snake King to the death.

However, the Serpent King remained completely unaffected, maintaining his own protective aura. With a twist of his serpent body, he tightened his body further while avoiding a direct confrontation with Fisher, and instead circled around to his back.

The next instant, the snake's mouth opened, and the snake king's sharp fangs bit into Fisher's neck with lightning speed!

The snake venom spread quickly. Vajra Realm warriors possess stronger physical attributes than ordinary people, and even when facing toxins, their resistance is greater. However, it doesn't mean they are completely unaffected.

Especially when there is no way to deal with it in a timely manner.

Knowing Fisher's strength, the Snake King gave him a generous amount, injecting all the venom from his venom glands into him at once.

"I am not reconciled"

As the struggle continued, the snake venom injected into the body gradually began to take effect.

As he felt his body gradually losing sensation, a hint of despair and regret flashed in Fisher's eyes.

In retrospect, he made the wrong bet many years ago.

If he had submitted to the Great Zhou Dynasty back then, just like the female warriors, would the outcome have been different?
