After a morning of travel, Chen Chao and his two companions successfully arrived on a highway. They didn't encounter any large monsters along the way, just a few special zombified corpses and some ordinary mutated beasts.
Chen Chao jumped onto the top of a crashed car and gazed ahead on the highway. He saw numerous cars scattered haphazardly across the road. Some large trucks were overturned, and around their tires wandered some blood-covered zombified corpses. These corpses, having consumed human flesh, evolved faster than those in a natural state.
The highway stretched like a winding black snake towards the horizon. Where the sky met the earth, thick clouds loomed heavily, blocking the sparse winter sunlight. A chilly wind blew through the air.
Chen Chao turned his gaze away and pulled out some food from the dimensional space, handing it to Chen Shiyu and Fan Xiangyu. "Eat up and let's continue our journey," he said.
Regarding the dimensional space, Chen Chao had explained it to the two women before. They were initially amazed but had now adapted.
While chewing on a piece of instant noodles, Chen Chao's expression suddenly changed. He looked up at the street behind the highway. A few minutes later, a slender figure stumbled and panted into view. It was Ye Fei.
"She's still here?" Fan Xiangyu was surprised, not expecting the woman to be so persistent.
At this moment, Ye Fei saw Chen Chao and the others sitting on the car hood on the highway. Her face lit up with surprise and joy. She took a deep breath and accelerated towards them. When she finally reached them, she was exhausted to the point of being unable to lift her fingers. Sweating profusely, she gasped for breath like someone just pulled out from the water.
Chen Shiyu quickly handed her a bottle of water and said, "You must be exhausted. Come sit and rest."
Ye Fei grabbed the bottle, muttered a thank you, and then drank eagerly, almost choking. After satisfying her thirst, she took a deep breath and smiled lightly at Chen Chao. "Please let me join you. I won't hold you back."
Chen Chao ignored her and turned his head away.
Ye Fei could only plead with Fan Xiangyu, gesturing for her to help plead on her behalf.
Fan Xiangyu shrugged, indicating that she was powerless. She thought, "If I had a say, I wouldn't be in this mess."
Ye Fei could only turn to Chen Shiyu for help.
Seeing Ye Fei's exhausted state from chasing after them, Chen Shiyu felt a bit sorry for her and turned to Chen Chao. "Xiaochao, really can't we take her?"
Chen Chao turned back, glanced at her, and then focused his gaze on Ye Fei. After a moment of silence, he said, "I can take you, but..."
Roar~!
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the distance. Chen Chao stood up abruptly like a monkey and looked back. At the end of the highway, a red dot quickly approached. When it reached within a ten-kilometer radius, Chen Chao's vision immediately captured its form.
It was a thirty-meter-long giant red-scaled snake, swaying its body and speeding along the highway. It knocked some blocking cars off the viaduct with incredible strength. Along the way, some zombified corpses, sensing its strong bloody scent, excitedly lunged at it.
However, the scales on the surface of the red-scaled giant snake were exceptionally smooth, and the corpses couldn't grab onto it. They were quickly shaken off.
Chen Chao's face changed slightly, and he immediately said to Chen Shiyu, "Hide quickly."
At this moment, Chen Shiyu and Fan Xiangyu also saw the approaching red-scaled giant snake. Their faces immediately changed. Just from its exaggerated size, they knew this mutated snake was not easy to deal with. Chen Shiyu knew that staying here would not only be useless but also a hindrance. She immediately hugged Ye Fei and ran towards the alleyway at the back of the street.
Ye Fei looked confused, not knowing what was happening.
After they left, the red-scaled giant snake wandered over. It flicked its tongue and raised its upper body, looking down at Chen Chao from above. Its burgundy vertical snake eyes reflected Chen Chao's figure, like two burning flames.
Chen Chao's expression was solemn. The skin on his back writhed, and suddenly a pair of dark black dragon wings emerged, tearing his clothes. They unfolded like a hawk's wings. The modified black feathers on the dragon wings were like sharp blades, making metallic sounds as they rubbed against each other.
Chen Chao's body soared into the air, parallel to the red-scaled giant snake.
Roar~!
The red-scaled giant snake opened its big mouth, revealing two snow-white fangs dripping with venomous saliva. It took the initiative to attack, and its snake head moved as fast as lightning, biting towards Chen Chao!
With a neural response speed and dynamic vision enhanced to 20 times, Chen Chao could only barely capture the movement of the snake's head. At the command of his will, the modified dragon wings behind him pulled his body up instantaneously like lightning, narrowly dodging the bite.
Chen Chao was secretly startled. He didn't expect the red-scaled snake to be so terrifying. Its physique might be around 30 times that of a human. Without the modified dragon wings and if fighting on land, Chen Chao would also have to beware of its tail. Even with a speed boost, he might not be able to dodge its attacks.
Sss~!
The red-scaled giant snake missed its first bite and seemed to be enraged. It looked up at Chen Chao in the sky and opened its mouth to hiss loudly, then lunged at him again.
Chen Chao used the modified dragon wings to dodge again and retreated step by step.
Soon, Chen Chao was forced by the red-scaled giant snake onto the street. Chen Chao continued to dodge and retreat. Each time the snake missed, it became even more furious and kept lunging at him.
Chen Chao dodged into an alleyway.
In this alleyway, there was a wandering zombified corpse. When it sensed the presence of Chen Chao and the red-scaled giant snake, it immediately roared and lunged at them.
Puff!
The red-scaled giant snake roared and rammed into it, crushing its body until it burst into a bloodbath.
Chen Chao finally stopped. His eyes sparkled with strange light. This was the most suitable battle terrain nearby. In an open area, with the size of this red-scaled giant snake, he would be helpless.
"Gold Transformation!"
Chen Chao mobilized the golden qi within his body and divided one-tenth of it to inject into his eyes. His pupils immediately turned golden. The rest of the golden qi was concentrated on both his hands, which immediately turned golden, shining with a golden glow from the fingertips to the wrists!
Chen Chao took a deep breath and used the modified dragon wings to suddenly shoot out!
Kill!
A flash of black light, the dragon wings flapped, propelling his body forward like a black hurricane, plunging straight down from the sky, with a golden glow trailing behind his hands.
Boom!
The golden fist heavily struck the upper jaw of the red-scaled giant snake. A golden wave seemed to explode. The massive red-scaled snake was hit like by a missile, and its head involuntarily fell backward, heavily crashing into the wall of the alleyway behind it.
The cement wall covered with tiles collapsed with a loud bang. The steel bars in the soil were broken, and most of the snake's head was stuck inside.
Chen Chao felt the power in his golden fist and his blood boiled. Looking up, he saw that the red-scaled giant snake was not dead, but its upper jaw and snake lips were slightly deformed, with a拳印凹陷 inside!
Roar!
The red-scaled giant snake hissed in anger. The intense pain triggered its beastly instincts. After pulling its head out of the wall, it immediately lunged at Chen Chao疯狂地咬过去.
Chen Chao's figure flashed gracefully, neatly dodging its bite. With doubled vision and瞳力 in the gold transformation state, he could easily see the movements of the red-scaled giant snake. Coupled with the supersonic speed of the A-grade modified dragon wings, the high-speed movement of the red-scaled snake appeared very slow in his eyes.
After dodging several of its bites in succession, Chen Chao waved his modified dragon wings to rise higher. The demonic black dragon wings fluttered as he looked down on the red-scaled giant snake from above. He controlled the golden qi within his body and transferred all of it from his left hand to his right. In an instant, his entire right arm turned golden!
Chen Chao tightened his fist and leaned forward, diving down like a hawk!
