National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

The Naga warrior did not immediately give chase.

It came to a swift stop, its tail tracing a smooth arc across the ground before repositioning itself into a coiled position.

An arbitrary gaze shifted from the distinctive weapon to its serpentine tail.

It has no legs.

When it moves, its upper body is almost still, and its strange movements make people feel uneasy.

This means...

All past experience regarding biomechanics and predictive combat positioning is almost completely ineffective against this guy.

Because the opponent's center of gravity, method of exertion, and movement trajectory are all unique and unpredictable.

[This Naga is so strong! It seems like Renyi is being suppressed a bit?]

[It's not suppression, it's a mismatch in rhythm. Look at Renyi's positioning; he's constantly adjusting, he's adapting.]

[This thing is like a roly-poly toy; there's absolutely no weakness in its lower body.]

They didn't give anyone much time to adapt.

The Naga warrior slammed his snake tail against the ground, sending dirt flying, and slid sideways again, his spear thrusting straight at his face like a venomous tongue.

"Crucio."

It uttered chilling syllables, and then the stone embedded in the spear shaft began to pulsate, a pale blue light flowing towards the spear tip.

Before the offensive even began, an invisible pressure enveloped Renyi.

Renyi felt his breath catch in his throat, his steps faltered as if he were stepping into a swamp, and his limbs felt heavy.

Enchantment?

His eyes lit up.

Klaus's weapons can be imbued with properties such as sharpness and thirst, but this ability to act directly on the outside, forming a field like magic, is something he has never seen before.

nice one!

Faced with an unavoidable offensive,

He leaned forward as if drunk, taking a small step in the stagnant force field.

He narrowly avoided the spear while getting very close to the Naga warrior.

A cold glint flashed, and a sharp dagger sliced ​​across its arm, leaving a wound. The attack continued unabated. Raven deftly shifted its grip and stabbed at the area under the Naga's armpit that was not covered by runes.

A hint of mockery appeared on the face of the Naga warrior, whose features were nearly indistinguishable from humans.

"clang!"

A crisp sound.

The pupil constricts at will.

The dark green runes on the Naga warrior's chest glowed and seemed to come alive, flowing down to his armpits and keeping the Raven two millimeters away from his skin.

Before he could change his move, the snake's tail coiled around him as nimbly as a python.

His entire body was wrapped in the snake's tail, lifted off the ground, his bones creaking under the immense pressure. With each breath, the snake's tail tightened its grip.

The Naga warrior's golden vertical pupils were filled with the pleasure of about to strangle his prey.

Yes, just keep struggling like this.

The harder you struggle, the faster you suffocate.

It won!

However, faced with this deadly strangulation, Ren Yi not only remained calm but also laughed.

A friendly and pleasant smile.

A flicker of astonishment crossed its face; it couldn't quite understand why this human could still laugh when death was imminent.

But the next second...

It saw a glint of cold light reflected in that human's dark yet bright pupils.

The cold light continued to grow larger.

A tremendous force came from its back. Before it could even feel the pain, the thing pierced through its flesh and bones, and with a destructive force, it penetrated its chest!

"puff--"

It bowed its head in disbelief.

The crossbow bolt, about half the thickness of a bowl, still had barbs and blood streaks on it. The defensive runes on its body had just flowed to its armpits under its control, revealing an opening in its chest...

It got tricked!

The arrow that pierced through the chest slowed considerably, but its residual force remained, and it continued to shoot rapidly toward Renyi.

"bite."

A crisp sound of impact rang out.

[Raven] steadily blocked the piercing arrow tip. The huge impact made his arm go numb from the shock of the dagger, but he used the recoil to twist his body and break free from the Naga warrior's snake tail, which had relaxed its grip for a moment.

Take advantage of your weakness to kill you!

Starting from any zero frame of mid-air landing, I lunged forward and [Raven] slashed across its carotid artery.

It's very light and nimble.

As it was drenched in the cold snake blood of the Naga, the light in its vertical pupils quickly dimmed, and its body crashed to the ground.

[You have defeated a Lv6 Naga and gained 140 Evolution Points.]

In the instant I was rolled up,

He only stopped avoiding it when he saw Klaus aiming in their direction.

"Are you kidding me? I have teammates."

[Holy crap!!! Klaus!!!]

[Haha, "Duh, I have teammates." That's pretty smug, isn't it?]

[A divine arrow! No, a divine crossbow bolt!]

[My God... that block! Is that even a human reaction?!]

On the lookout tower, Klaus muttered to himself:

"I told you, 3 centimeters is better."

......

The sound from the communication conch shell is fading away.

From chaos to cries for help to deathly silence, less than ten minutes had passed.

Morrison's face was grim.

With all three lines collapsing, the encirclement plan had failed. Logically, he should have immediately withdrawn completely or remained inactive, waiting for the enemy to lower their guard and think they were safe before launching an attack. But...

The remaining two Naga warriors kept scanning them with hostile gazes.

Morrison had no doubt—

If he orders a retreat now, these two Naga will tear him to pieces immediately.

"I need to go ahead and scout out the situation."

Morrison put away the communication conch shell, stood up, and calmly spoke in Naga language.

That's a good excuse.

"Ethan and I will go with you." Although Elijah couldn't understand Naga, he saw Morrison's actions and thought this was a good opportunity.

As long as they are out of sight of these monsters,

They could then work with Ethan to find an opportunity to kill Morrison.

As he spoke, he gestured for Ethan to follow.

However, before Morrison could respond, a Naga made a move.

"hiss--"

With a flick of its tail, it blocked the three humans.

"Hiss hiss~"

"We're going to provide support to the west and south."

"I don't trust you. One of you must stay behind and act with the Naga."

Its gaze swept over the three humans before finally settling on Ethan, who remained silent throughout.

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

He stayed behind as a hostage.

Elijah's expression changed slightly, but he had no choice but to agree without hesitation.

"Can."

To him, Ethan was just a tool.

If he senses things are going wrong, he will abandon everyone and leave.

Anyway...

His initial goal was simply to escape alive from the Naga territory.

"Then let's split up. I'll go scout out the enemy's movements, and you guys go provide support."

"Go quickly and come back quickly."

A Naga warrior hissed coldly, gesturing for Ethan to follow.

Ethan glanced calmly at Elijah, gave him and Morrison a gentlemanly bow, and then followed the Naga warriors and a group of snake people, leaving without looking back.

"Let's go."

Morrison walked in the opposite direction.

Elijah took a few deep breaths to calm his dissatisfaction, put on a smile, and quickly followed.

"Colonel, wait for me."

Yeah.

Soon it will be just the two of them left.

With their own ulterior motives, the two disappeared into the jungle one after the other.

Only one Naga warrior and seventy elite Serpent-men remained in the ambush to the east, waiting in place.
