The place where they were was partially covered by trees and dense vegetation, but it wasn't flooded like the other parts of the island, the terrain of the area was higher than the other places.
In the center was a very large snake-like creature.
The creature seen by the group was a giant snake seven feet tall and twenty meters long. It's not the size that catches the eye, but the three heads.
The snake had green scales, but a blue liquid oozed from all sides. It was not possible to know what kind of poison, but it was not corrosive because it did not corrode the soil.
The three giant heads had their necks connected to the long body like a knife. It slept peacefully as if it didn't care what was happening on the island.
That serpent was the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent.
"What is this thing?"
"This snake was not in the previous records. Is it a new creature that came out of the portal a few days ago?"
"It appears that the former ruler of this part of the island has been defeated and this snake has taken its place. This is troublesome, very troublesome"
…
The soldiers and Hunters look at the creature with solemn gazes because this was the strongest creature they encountered on the island.
Just the pressure it emanated was enough to know its power, but there was still a very important factor, the unknown poison.
Depending on the effects, a different strategy would be used.
The group donned the gas mask so they could breathe without being affected by the venom should they breathe within the venom.
A small car-shaped robot traveled towards the snake along with a drone.
Images of the serpent's entire body were shown, but there was nothing different besides the three heads.
Before attacking, they would have a meeting on what to do and how to manage to defeat the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent or just scare the creature off the island to another location.
But before they could do that.
"ARGG!!!!!!!"
"ARGGGG!!!!!!!"
"WHAT'S HAPPENING???!!!!!"
"WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING???!!!!!!!"
…
The cries of pain from some startle everyone, but something was still wrong.
Their visions were still normal as if nothing bad was happening.
Not until a great shadow covered them all.
The scenes before them began to distort as if they were breaking apart.
In a few seconds, the scene completely changed.
Mud, quicksand, skeletons of giant sea creatures floating in the air, swamps, and carnivorous creatures gnawing at the skeletons, but it was all covered by large trees with thick trunks and dense leaves.
This made it very difficult to see the forest from the drones in the sky.
In front of the entire squadron was a giant serpent looking at them with three heads as if they were prey.
hisss… hissss… Hissing
Hissing sounds are made when the tongue is shown.
The six predatory eyes stare at the group, which sent a shiver down my spine.
Their situation was very bad.
Some soldiers and Hunters had already been devoured while others were being attacked with no way to defend themselves.
"ILLUSION!!!!!!!!"
"IT IS A HALLUCINOGEN POISON!!!!!!!!"
Someone managed to discover the effects of the poison, but it was too late.
ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fierce roar of the three heads was like an order to attack.
Several thousand creatures leap out of the mud to devour the squad of soldiers and Hunters.
Unfortunately, they were only able to send the footage recorded by the drones to the other squadrons.
The machines were not affected by the poison, so what was recorded was the actual scene. Not the illusion caused by the poison's effect.
Blue poison was a very powerful hallucinogen capable of causing very real illusions.
The entire island was covered in poison.
By the time the group landed on the island, they were already doomed.
The creatures they defeated were only illusions, as none of them dared to stay on the island without the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent's permission. Thus, the creatures that inhabit this part of Penghu were all subordinates of the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent.
The entire squad was devoured by the creatures.
The images were seen not only by the other squadrons but also by the headquarters.
What was seen was totally different from what they saw a few days ago.
Drones and robots could not be operated for more than four days at a time because it took a lot of energy, so they would be turned off for three days to recharge before being turned on again.
In the past three days, something happened on the island during those three days, but it was not possible to know what it was.
Headquarters quickly issued orders for everyone to wear masks to avoid the poison and cover their bodies with gas suits.
…
Liu Yang paid close attention to the messages and video to see what clues there were about the Three-Headed Blue Poison Serpent and the creatures around it.
Some things were learned, but more investigation was still needed.
The only thing that let him down was that he couldn't absorb the energies of the dead.
