However, it would not be wrong to say that there was no good news at all.
From the moment he pulled the trigger, Tang Ling witnessed another kind of power — the so-called power of a handgun.
All he needed to do was pull the trigger, but it was enough to shake the big snake. A palm-sized scale might not have been broken, but it was shaking as if it was about to fall off.
It was true that the handgun could not kill the big snake, but it would be enough to delay it!
There were only seven chances to attack. It was something that Quark mentioned again and again when he told Tang Ling about the final details.
While he was still floating in the air, Tang Ling's brain started to calculate non-stop.
Including his own chance to escape, he had to delay the snake for at least seven seconds.
The most ideal situation was that he could accurately delay the big snake for one second each time he had seven chances to attack.
On top of that, the moment he pulled the trigger every time had to be perfectly connected with the moment when the big snake resumed its movement without any mistakes. Only then could he achieve the perfect seven seconds.
Only those who had been through life and death knew that even a gap of 0.1 seconds could change the ending.
The biggest difference between reality and imagination was that if the imaginary world was a perfect vacuum, all one had to do was to complete everything according to the requirements, and the result would not deviate.
What was reality? It was a muddy swamp filled with impurities that one could not see clearly. There would always be too many uncontrollable factors that interfered with everything.
The Desert Eagle's attack could not delay the big snake for even a second.
As a matter of fact, the violent, fiery impact attack only made the seemingly dizzy big snake pause for less than half a second.
Then, the rising rage was so strong that even Tang Ling, who had yet to land, could feel it.
In the dark, its scarlet red tongue flicked in and out ceaselessly, releasing a hiss that irritated one's brain.
Then, Tang Ling saw its eyes erupt with a deeper layer of rage. It was pure rage!
At that moment, Tang Ling had a strange illusion. It seemed to have sensed that he had killed six of its offspring.
Rustling noises came from all directions, followed by a soft clanging of metal.
It was the sound of feet stepping on the ladder. It was a familiar step. Amid the complicated calculations, Tang Ling knew that his sister was the first to climb up the ladder. Quark did not break his promise.
The voice seemed to carry a huge amount of warmth as it soothed Tang Ling's heart.
He was extremely calm.
He was so calm that he watched the angry big snake straighten its body. It swung its tail and easily smashed the bricks under its body before it stood up.
It stood up, completely exceeding Tang Ling's understanding. It used its tail that was less than a meter long to support its huge body.
Dust and gravel flew in the air, carrying a terrifying pressure.
"In fact, it's a little funny." Tang Ling had completely calmed down. He looked at the giant snake that stood up straight with its head touching the ceiling of the tunnel. He felt that it was quite strenuous for the snake to stand up like that.
Be it the snake's action or his thoughts, it happened in an instant.
Whether it was the snake's movement or Tang Ling's thought, it happened in a split second.
With such a huge body, Tang Ling who had Precise Instinct since he was young and hunted for a living did not have to worry about whether he could shoot accurately or not.
He even closed his eyes and relied on his instincts to raise his gun and fire.
The. of of of of his instinct to of of that., but it., it, it, and was that..... Ling., but he was, he to, to was to., of, of., of to to to to was to. to be.
The instinct worked sometimes, but in a battle of such a level, other than believing in himself, what else could he rely on?
The shot was unusually decisive. Having learned his lesson, Tang Ling remembered Quark's words and tightened his wrists.
The shockwave was finally bearable, but a terrifying fact overturned Tang Ling's understanding of the situation.
The big snake stood up. It turned out that it wanted to use the force from its tail to bounce towards him.
However, his shot just happened to hit the point of force of its entire body at the moment of its ejection, interrupting its' plan '.
It was hard to imagine the scene of a huge creature bouncing towards him. If not for the stunning attack, Tang Ling was certain that the big snake did not even need to do anything. The huge impact from the jump alone would have turned him into a pile of mush. Bang!
Tang Ling landed on the ground. Blood gushed out from his nose and formed two lines of blood.
The high-speed calculations had gotten the result, but this was the price. His dizzy brain felt like it was going to explode. Tang Ling had to bite the tip of his tongue to stay awake.
Without any hesitation, Tang Ling's body formed a 29 degree angle with the big snake. He exerted his strength again and swung backwards.
The big snake's well-prepared attack was interrupted in such an uncomfortable way, causing its rage to rise to a new high.
The point where it could launch itself was attacked. Its huge body tilted uncontrollably towards the wall on the right and collapsed like a pillar. Half a second later, it crashed into the wall with a loud and heavy thud.
More than a dozen of its scales were broken because the force from the crash was essentially the force it used to launch itself.
The wind whistled in Tang Ling's ears, but it did not stop him from hearing the second sound of someone climbing the ladder. It was his grandmother.
Tang Ling's lips curled into a smile as if he was relieved, but there was also a hint of mockery towards the big snake.
Why should he be afraid of its previous emotions?
The rage in a battle was scarier than a fatal wound!
As expected, the big snake that could control its body did not choose to launch itself again. Instead, it slithered towards Tang Ling in an instant.
However, based on the spot where it fell and the direction Tang Ling was retreating to, the slithering posture was bound to be extremely uncomfortable, so it needed a little adjustment.
Its size was not always an advantage, so the slight adjustment would definitely waste more time.
Another second passed.
"Damn it, there's a bunch of black-horned purple-patterned snakes coming. You better hurry up!" A beam of light shone, followed by a clear click, followed by the sound of the last person climbing the ladder.
It was Quark.
At that moment, he opened the glowing thing and tossed it into the tunnel.
Tang Ming was slightly grateful. Since he had alarmed the snake horde, having light would naturally be more advantageous for him in the battle.
He was thankful that he did not have to be distracted. After he landed again, he chose another angle and jumped backwards to widen the distance between him and the big snake.
At a suitable time, he closed his eyes and fired again. This time, the shot landed on the second bend of the big snake's body, causing its body to move a little.
However, it was the second bend that stopped it from moving. All it could do was pause for a while before the snake's head could lead its body forward.
The landing, the angle, and the firing … Tang Ling's every step was executed in an orderly manner.
His fingertips, which were originally a little cold, were now completely warm.
A boiling emotion that could only be ignited in a battle started to rise in his heart.
