After the appearance of the monster horde, countries all over the world urgently collected information about myths, legends, horror stories, and so on within their own country. Then, they basically categorized the information into three major stages.
The monsters in the first stage were similar to zombies, and they were the kind that appeared in early zombie movies. They walked unsteadily and were weak. Other than not being afraid of death, even a child could easily kill them. This type of monster was also the main force of the first wave of monsters. They accounted for almost 99% of the monsters in the monster horde. They were not a threat, or at least a low threat.
The monsters in the second stage were mid-level monsters in various legends, myths, and horror stories, such as giant zombies, giant animals, or monsters with incomparably strong bodies. This type of monster was not something that ordinary people could fight alone. Even if they had guns, if there were too few people, they could only injure these monsters. To kill them, they needed to have the advantage of numbers or heavy weapons. These monsters were labeled as mid-level threats.
The monsters in the third stage were at the top of various legends, myths, and horror stories. They were similar to vampires, dragons, the birdman that Zhang Heng had killed, and the minotaur that Zhang Yulin and the others had encountered. They all belonged to this level of monsters. This type of monster had great destructive power. Even a small army could not compete with them. They could easily destroy villages or towns, and they could even cause certain damage to large armies. Basically, only a concentrated attack with powerful weapons, such as bombs, anti-tank weapons, or missiles could destroy them. This type of monster was already at the mythical level. They were very few in number, but their destructive power was exaggerated. They were almost the natural enemy of humans, and their threat level was very high!
Then there were the monsters in the fourth stage. The number of this type of monster was pitifully small. So far, only one case had been confirmed, and it was the Quetzalcoatl of South America. This type of monster was usually the god of creation or the god of destruction in myths and legends. They had a terrifying destructive power comparable to a nuclear bomb. Their destructive power was at the level of destruction, and they could easily destroy some small countries and cities. As long as they were willing, human technology could not even destroy them … Nuclear bomb? What a joke! This kind of creature moved at an astonishing speed. Unless it was a hydrogen bomb, it was impossible to hit them. This kind of monster had already surpassed the level of a living creature. For example, the Quetzalcoatl that had been killed was only the size of an elephant. However, the energy it released was not something that could be released by such a small body. This kind of monster had all kinds of mythical magic, such as fire, ice, energy, and even curses. Although it did not reach the power of myths and legends, this kind of creature was clearly a mythical creature. Its threat level was … world-destroying!
These criteria might not be universal, but they were generally correct. The World Serpent Yurmgaunt in Norse mythology was undoubtedly a tier 4 monster. Coupled with the probabilities that had been detected … Perhaps this was a monster that was even more terrifying than the Feathered God …
"… The bullet screen in the left battle zone is too thin! Fire! Fire! Tell the boys, if the front line is breached, I will load everyone in the direction of the breach into the cannon barrel and fire them together with the torpedoes! Believe me, I will definitely do that! "
The commander roared into the communication device. After roaring, he looked into the distance with anxious eyes … An indescribably huge serpent raised its body in front of the fleet.
This was a huge monster that was at least 10,000 meters long. Its head alone was the size of a giant building. Disregarding everything else, one could tell from the serpent's body that it was standing high above the sea. Everyone had to look up to see its head. In fact, this serpent was still very far away from the fleet, but the entire fleet, including the people on the ships escorting the fleet, could clearly see the upper body of this serpent. Its body was at least 3,000 to 4,000 meters above the sea!
When the shells of the fleet hit such a huge serpent, they exploded into balls of fire. However, compared to the size of the serpent, these explosions were almost insignificant. After the flames disappeared, one could see that the serpent's skin was only a little charred. Even its scales were not damaged.
Of course, that was not all. At least, the highly penetrative torpedoes could hurt the serpent. This could be seen from the red blood stains on the sea. The serpent was injured by the initial torpedo shot. However, the torpedo explosion was destructive to the ships, but to the serpent, it was only slightly more serious than being pricked by a mosquito.
The commander-in-chief looked at all this anxiously. He picked up a red phone and said, "… President, yes, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that our weapons can hurt the World Serpent, but the damage is insignificant. At the same time, this serpent doesn't seem to know how to spit or use magic. The bad news is that … the World Serpent doesn't need to use these weapons at all. As long as it's not afraid of pain, unfortunately, we'll all be fed to the fishes."
In fact, the real threat to the serpent and the reason it didn't directly crush the fleet wasn't the fleet's own weapons, but the Samsara soldiers on the fleet. These Samsara soldiers had 10 Gauss Rifles in their hands. Perhaps in terms of surface damage, the Gauss Rifles definitely couldn't compare to artillery shells and missiles, but in terms of point damage, the Gauss Rifles' strong penetrative power was something that even the serpent couldn't resist. Although it couldn't be seen with the naked eye, there were numerous tiny holes on the serpent's body. These holes directly penetrated the insides of the serpent, even near the internal organs. If it was a more threatening Gauss Rifle, it could probably directly kill the serpent.
So now the situation was in a deadlock. The serpent felt threatened by the Gauss Rifles, and the Samsara soldiers holding the Gauss Rifles were scared out of their wits. For a while, they didn't dare to continue shooting. Moreover, their ammunition was limited. If they ran out, it would really be over for them.
But in the end, this couldn't go on. The serpent still had the upper hand. Sure enough, after a few minutes, the serpent fiercely plunged into the sea. Huge waves rose up like a small tsunami, lifting the entire fleet up and down. Even a few of the smaller gunships were directly overturned. Then, the sonar showed that the serpent was twisting back and forth in the sea. Then, it deliberately avoided the place where the Gauss Rifles were shot and directly attacked the center of the fleet. Then … the destruction of the entire fleet entered the countdown …
"Nihility …"
"Sky Rush!"
From mid-air, a voice resounded. Then, a distorted wave directly exploded the space, forming ripples in the space. A distorted space shot from mid-air to the bottom of the sea, directly chopping the head of the giant snake. Even before the power of this wave dissipated, the head of the giant snake was chopped off and cut into the bottom of the sea. This was not the end. This distorted power cut into the bottom of the sea for 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, 1000 meters ….
In the air, a man wearing a silver metal mask stood in the air. He looked down at the sea that was dyed red with blood. After a long while without any other movement, he slowly shook his head and stepped into the air. Then, he left, leaving behind the shocked crowd on the surface of the sea …
"It's still alright. So far, this giant snake only has physical strength, but I have a feeling that it's constantly getting stronger. If this continues, it's likely to get closer and closer to the power of the legendary World Snake. Its size will also get bigger and bigger, and it might even be able to use energy attacks … I have a feeling that this World Snake will eventually evolve into a fourth-order creature …" Lin Huang said with a frown on his face.
Ling Xin spoke to the rest of team Celestial, as well as Chu Hao, Zhang Heng, Wei Shishi, and Chen Haotao through the Mind Chain.
The rest of the people were silent. Only Xiao Qianren's voice could be heard, "Did you pick up a bargain? By the way … why does your world serpent only have physical strength? The Quetzalcoatl I encountered was as strong as a fourth-order beginner. It beat me up so badly. If it wasn't for the end … I might not have been able to come back. "Ling Xin did not answer.
Ling Xin smiled and did not answer. Instead, he said to Chu Hao, "The situation is getting more and more dangerous. Up until today, we have eliminated 37 creatures that were a threat to the fleet. Among them, the World Serpent and the Feathered Serpent God were the strongest. However, there will be more and more powerful monsters in the future, including those gods and devils in myths … Chu Hao, what other trump cards do you have? Why don't you tell us now? I'll have a rough idea of how long we should hold on. Otherwise, I'll prioritize the safety of my team."
Chu Hao remained silent. After a long while, he finally said, "Come to the main island. Everyone, come back. This will be the last meeting of our God's Rebirth team before we retreat … Ling Xin, I think we need to have a good talk, as well as my trump card …"
"I'll tell you as well."
