She absolutely trusted Caesar's judgment because Caesar's Word of Power was "Kamaitachi," and Caesar was so certain because he had heard something.
“The sound of heartbeats, enormous hearts, all around us, many, a great multitude,” Caesar said softly.
"How big?"
"It must have a heart as big as a whale's, but it's covered in scales. I could hear the scales scraping against steel."
The swarm of blue snakes broke through the ice floes and swam onto the ship's side, then slipped into the ship through different portholes.
Looking down from the sky, the dark blue snakes swimming on the black and red ship looked like a raspberry Black Forest cake crawling with worms.
The ship was filled with their hissing sounds, and the cold wind carried their strong, fishy odor to different cabins. The crew members, who were unaware of what was happening, felt a chill run down their spines and pulled out their AK-47s from various places.
Dense gunfire came from different directions, occasionally accompanied by the sounds of grenades and infantry anti-tank rocket launchers.
Sailors probably wouldn't carry anti-tank rocket launchers, but the lunatics in the equipment department would.
The elites of the Equipment Department clearly weren't prepared to confront Leviathan with mere bloodlines and courage. If it weren't for time constraints, this icebreaker might have been converted into a strategic cruiser by the Equipment Department…
Chapter 369 This guy isn't human
"The patriarch is simply inhuman..."
The sea and the sea are two battlefields. The snake swarm is huge, and Xia Mu's battlefield is underwater.
Inside the submarine, the captain and first mate stared intently at the screen, where Xia Mu, transformed into a black shadow, darted about like a sharp sword, slicing the dragon subspecies that Caesar and Nono found extremely difficult to deal with in half.
"We still need to rely on modern war machines like submarines to fight in such harsh environments, but for the patriarch, having dragon blood is enough..."
The captain exclaimed with heartfelt emotion, "He is our emperor..."
"We need heavy weapons!" Nono shouted.
"It's almost like breaking into a dragon's vault." Caesar checked the Desert Eagle's magazine again. "And all we have are water guns and pencil sharpeners."
Against the giant serpent, the power of the Desert Eagle and Dick's Turtle is indeed not much different from that of a water gun and a pencil sharpener.
"Tsk, weren't you two here on your honeymoon? Look how miserable you are?"
A familiar voice rang out from the side of the cabin, startling the two men, then filling them with joy: "Xia Mu!"
The high-speed, thin metal shards sliced through the giant snake's body, cutting through its scales like sharp blades, leaving large blooms of blood. The snake, which even bullets couldn't seriously injure, struggled painfully in the raging dance of metal.
They hissed sharply like helpless children, suddenly coiled their bodies and then sprang out, their twenty-meter-long snake bodies stretching straight out like missiles aimed at the ship's side.
A pair of terrifying golden eyes, like lava, appeared... Xia Mu stood there the whole time.
The metal fragments controlled by the Word of Power Sword Control flew out from his body, shooting into the gaping mouths of the giant snakes and exiting from the back of their heads.

Such terrifying power and speed allowed even ordinary iron to pierce through the giant snake's skull.
Before they were shot into the snake's mouth, they even carried a faint glow.
That's because they're moving so fast that the friction with the air causes the thin metal to almost melt.
"This guy really showed off again..."
Nono muttered softly, her voice filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
Caesar was a little embarrassed: "We just don't have enough firepower..."
Before they could finish their reflections, Xia Mu's figure suddenly shot towards them like a cannonball, knocking them both aside.
"Ouch! What are you doing—"
Nono was slammed onto the deck by him, and her whole body ached, but she couldn't utter a word of complaint.
Caesar felt a chill run down his spine for a moment, but because Xia Mu appeared, he thought everything was fine. He temporarily deactivated the Word of Power: Kamaitachi to recover, but unexpectedly, trouble ensued.
With a deafening roar, a massive black shadow descended from the sky and bit down on the spot where they had been standing!
An incredibly large snake emerged from the side of the ship, larger than any of the previous snakes, and roughly estimated to be at least 50 meters long.
The crew fired all their AK-47s into the air, the fire scattering sparks as they hit the snake. This snake was far larger and its scales were much harder than those of the snakes that had been burned to death before.
Its weight was also extremely exaggerated; when it fell from above, the entire ship was shaken.
No one could help but tremble before this behemoth. Its body was as thick as a cement truck, and its abdomen swelled even more, to the point that one might wonder whether it was a snake or an elongated whale.
The elephant-trunk-like black shadow slowly rose, surveying its surroundings, its snake eyes radiating a crimson-gold light.
“Hydra?” Caesar said softly. “I never thought such a thing actually existed in the world.”
Hydra is the nine-headed serpent in Greek mythology, a mythical creature that even the gods found troublesome.
This snake has five heads!
Five pairs of golden, childlike openings looked down at the terrified humans, while five snake necks swayed and intertwined, their hissing sounds overlapping and piercing people's eardrums.
“I once slew a Yamata no Orochi, which had more heads than this one,” Xia Mu shrugged nonchalantly.
He was the most composed person in the room.
"boom!"
A piece of ship plank flew up and, under the control of the Word of Power, smashed into one of Hydra's heads.
People were taken aback.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Four more sounds followed, and all five of Hydra's heads saw stars.
Everyone was looking at Xia Mu sideways.
Is this a person?
Xia Mu began to slowly approach Hydra, and the distance between them shortened.
Hydra clearly made a retraction motion, much like a human watching a knife slowly pierce their brow. In its perception, Xia Mu at this moment was likely a sharp sword flashing with murderous intent.
But it immediately began its attack, its long neck stretching and contracting like lightning, its three heads attacking from different angles.
When it fell, its heavy body looked extremely clumsy, but once the attack began, the three snake heads were like three rapiers, moving in an arc-shaped trajectory, like a peerless swordsman with three arms.
Theoretically, no one would dare to withstand such an attack. Not to mention that the huge snake mouth could swallow Xia Mu in an instant, the enormous kinetic energy of the sudden surge alone could overturn a bulldozer.
"Humph."
But Xia Mu did not dodge. Amidst the horrified gazes of the sailors, Xia Mu donned his bronze throne and casually threw a punch, striking the snake's head accurately.
With three consecutive punches, he steadily and powerfully repelled the attacks from three directions. His long neck, with its snake head, thrashed wildly, and the Hydra convulsed violently, like a person suddenly having an epileptic seizure.
Everyone was awestruck by the power of those three punches.
Clang.
The two men were so startled that they lost their grip on their guns and were hit on the feet.
Caesar's eyelids twitched: "This guy isn't human..."
"He's a monster, didn't we already know that?" Nono shrugged.
Caesar was very upset.
He always thought of himself as a born king, but the word he possessed was Kamaitachi, which seemed to be all-around capable of dealing with all kinds of situations. If given an arsenal, he would be a reinforced company himself, but compared to a humanoid tyrannosaurus like Natsuki, he was still far, far inferior.
He also wanted to unleash his fury at this moment, to be ready to fight even the whole world!
"Come."
Xia Mu raised his voice and beckoned to Hydra with his finger, almost saying, "Come here."
"Roar--"
The mythical beast was enraged; its five heads lit up together, and a dense chill surged from its body, finally erupting in a frenzy.
In an instant, everyone was plunged into the freezing cold of tens of degrees below zero, and the temperature was steadily dropping.
In less than three seconds, everyone will freeze to death!
Xia Mu snapped his fingers lightly.
Flames erupted from his body, like the only light in a dark world, illuminating the night and driving away the bitter cold.
People's cold bodies gradually warmed up, then became warm, and some even started to sweat.
Many items on the ship's hull burst due to the alternating hot and cold temperatures.
The flames reversed the cold currents, dividing the world into red and blue.
The Hydra is roaring... it's going crazy... it's wailing...
Chapter 370 Abbas and Snow
"boom!"
The flames erupted like a torrent, engulfing the Hydra.
A piercing scream emanated from its body, as if it were deep within a cave filled with countless snakes.
Everyone who looked closely immediately felt a chill run down their spine.
It turned out that Hydra's abdomen was harboring countless small snakes. If Xia Mu hadn't burned it to ashes, even if Hydra had died, the remaining countless small snakes would have been overwhelming for them.
These small snakes are like the Ghastsaurus rex that escaped from the Shinzoku; they are small, fast, and numerous, and once they burrow into a human body, they can bite it into a skeleton in no time...
Only the method of burning Xia Mu to the ground is most effective.
A pungent smell gradually filled the air; it was the residue left after the strong acid had evaporated.
These snakes all contain strong acids.
"What if I get bitten by this thing..."
Many people shuddered.
"It's actually just a subspecies of dragon, only exceptionally large."
The flames on Xia Mu's body gradually began to die down.
"We just don't have the right weapons, otherwise would you be the one showing off like this?" Nono retorted stubbornly.
