"It's loaded. You need to hold it like this. When you attack, pull the trigger here. "Without much time to explain, Quark straightforwardly taught Tang Ling how to use the strange thing.
Tang Ling learned quickly, but an indescribable strange feeling rumbled in his heart. If I pull the trigger like this, it will attack? What kind of attack can this thing that weighs less than 2.5 kgs have?
"Remember, when you use it, you have to tighten your wrist. It's not considered a very successful … handgun from the old civilization, but it's almost the most powerful handgun. " Up to that point, Quark caressed the strange thing and looked at Tang Ling. "You can call it the Desert Eagle. With your physique, you might be able to complete high-speed continuous shots, but the most important thing is to tighten your wrist, like this."
It seemed to have triggered something in Quark, so he could not help but nag. He also conveniently demonstrated the correct posture for Tang Ling.
Tang Ling tightened his lips. He finally heard Quark mention the old civilization. It was as if the abstract concept suddenly came alive through Quark's mouth.
A handgun? Desert Eagle? A strange name, an incomprehensible term, and two concepts that could not be linked together.
However, it was obviously not the time to be curious. Tang Ming also caressed the Desert Eagle in his hand. The cold metallic touch gave him an indescribable feeling.
"How powerful is it?" This was the key to the question.
"It can't be compared to a bomb. If the final danger is the guy I think it is, the most I can do is knock some of his scales off. But if a normal person gets hit by it, they'll be turned into a sieve.
What I mean is, there'll be a bloody hole in front and a bloody mess behind. "Quark gestured at his chest and back.
"Maybe the people in this era won't have it that bad. In short, I've never tried it before! But I'm sure that if a vital point is hit, one will die immediately. "
Quark could only provide so much information about the Desert Eagle.
However, Tang Ling's temples throbbed uncontrollably a few times.
His headache was killing him as if something suppressed in him was about to break out of its shell and awaken something that he had forgotten.
It was a strange feeling. It was firm yet extremely faint.
Fortunately, the feeling only lasted for less than a second before it subsided.
Tang Ling's expression did not change at all, but his heart was in turmoil. He did not know what it was like. This also reminded him of his blank memories before he was adopted.
How strange! Humans from the old civilization! Quark's words about the people in this era might not be that miserable echoed in Tang Ling's mind over and over again. He could not tell why he cared so much about it.
He took a deep breath and discarded the distracting thoughts from his mind. He then explained the details of the operation to Quark before he jumped down from the pipe softly.
The final struggle seemed a little cruel.
Granny's hand hurt a little when she grabbed his arm. Just as he turned over and fell down, Granny grabbed him tightly. It seemed like she wanted to stop Tang Ling from taking the risk, but her hands were tied.
His sister, on the other hand, was unexpectedly obedient. She had not said a word since entering the tunnel. Perhaps she had realized that this was not the time to act spoiled and willful.
Boundless courage rose in Tang Ling's heart as he thought about the seemingly insignificant thoughts.
He walked in the tunnel almost silently, stepping over the black-horned snakes that he killed one after another. Not even a finger of his trembled.
He knew Quark had caught up to him. Quark's heavy breathing was a little louder, perhaps due to his nervousness.
Fortunately, Granny and his sister's footsteps were before the heavy breathing.
Tang Ling's lips curled into a peaceful smile. In his calculations, the giant snake's sensing range was about to be reached.
Perhaps it was because of his Precise Instinct, but Tang Ling's eyes and ears were unusually sharp. After adapting to the environment, he could see in the dark and even hear the slightest sound.
Obviously, because of that, he had to complete the task of delaying the snake.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
One meter.
Out of habit, Tang Ling muttered to himself as he made the final calculations.
Tang Ling only stopped when he entered the danger zone.
It was part of his plan, but it was also an unexpected change.
When he saw the so-called giant snake for the first time, that cold, enormous, and suffocating sense of danger caused him to not act according to his plan. Instead, he instinctively stopped.
Is this a black-horned purple-striped snake?
Purple patterns occupied a large area of the snake's skin, forming a mysterious pattern with a cold, metallic luster.
The horn that was supposed to be black had turned bright red and was bent at a strange angle, just like the thin knife that Granny had dug out from the ruins of her previous civilization.
It was huge.
Its width almost reached Tang Ling's shoulder. Even though it curled up into a ball, Tang Ling could tell that its length was no less than 20 meters.
If it was just the fear that came from its appearance, what terrified Tang Ling more was its gaze.
It was not the gaze of a snake. It was the kind of cold gaze that was almost emotionless.
Instead, it was filled with emotions that only humans had: mockery, disdain … It did not seem to be shocked by Tang Ling's appearance at all.
It felt like it was waiting for Tang Ling to walk into its trap!
Tang Ling felt like the last of his pride had been smashed away. The pride of a weak human possessing intelligence. How could such fear not be etched into his bones?!
"Run!" Even though he was almost suffocating, Tang Ling still shouted, but the trembling in his voice was hard to conceal.
Footsteps sounded. It was Quark leading his grandmother and sister to sprint.
Their footsteps echoed in the spacious tunnel, and every step felt like it was knocking on Tang Ling's heart.
He was always calm, but his fingertips started to feel cold.
However, the giant snake before his eyes seemed to be lazy. It raised its head slightly and flicked its tongue as if it found the weak creature before its eyes interesting.
However, Tang Ling did not think that the danger was gone. Instead, the sense of danger from his Precise Instinct grew stronger like a hand gripping his heart in an instant.
Almost instinctively, Tang Ling raised the Desert Eagle in his hand and exerted force with his left leg. Using the rebounding force, he swung his body backward.
At the same time, he pulled the part of the Desert Eagle that was known as the trigger.
Bang! A heavy bang echoed in the tunnel. Compared to the explosives, it was much friendlier, but the tremors that came with it almost made Tang Ling lose his grip on the Desert Eagle.
Then, a metallic clank sounded. The giant snake that was lazily sizing up Tang Ling a moment ago was already in front of him.
The giant snake's head swayed a little and a trail of dazzling sparks flashed in the tunnel for an instant.
It was an error! It was the first time his Precise Instinct had such a huge error!
Whether it was his judgment of the giant snake's sensing range or his judgment of its speed, everything was ridiculously wrong!
For the first time, Tang Ling lost control of the battle.
