Chapter 237 – Treat It Like a Vibrating Bed
“Hiss鈥”!”
The Fourth Stage Mutation Python immediately recoiled in pain and lunged at Black Silk.
But Black Silk had already changed direction, following Ling Mo’s command, and sprinted down another path.
Seeing that the Fourth Stage Mutation Python had been successfully diverted, Ling Mo quickly waved his hand, signaling Ye Lian and the three girls to run towards the visitors’ center.
The two paths ran almost parallel to each other, separated by a short distance. Along the way, Ling Mo could hear the constant crashing sounds made by the advancing Fourth Stage Mutation Python.
In its enraged state, the Fourth Stage Mutation Python was like a bulldozer, swinging its tail wildly like a built-in cannon.
Thankfully, this python was non-venomous; otherwise, it would have been an even bigger problem.
“How about it? Do you think we can take it down?” Ling Mo asked excitedly, turning his head.
Xia Na glanced at the snake blood on her scythe, her smile unchanging. “Skinning a snake alive… I’ve always wanted to try that.”
“Hmm… Black Na, you…”
Ling Mo felt a chill and quickly turned to look at Ye Lian.
But Ye Lian looked at him with her usual dazed expression, showing no sign of tension.
It seemed she wasn’t nervous… but zombies naturally didn’t feel fear.
Li Yalin, on the other hand, was the most excited. The amber ring in her eyes was growing brighter, making her gaze even colder.
“Be careful. Safety first, hunting second,” Ling Mo advised.
“Anyway… we have you, Ling-Ge…” Ye Lian hesitated for a moment, then smiled slightly.
Ling Mo’s eyes immediately sharpened.
Indeed, relying on three female zombies and Black Silk alone would make it difficult to take down the Fourth Stage Mutation Python. But Ling Mo’s superpower could play an excellent restraining role.
In fact, the real key to victory lay with Ling Mo.
The three female zombies would definitely coordinate their attacks with his superpower. In other words, Ling Mo was the central figure of the team.
And the coordination among the three female zombies was also centered around Ling Mo.
If Ling Mo were compared to a central computer, his Psychic Link would be the network connecting the other computers. Their operations all centered around Ling Mo.
If Ling Mo made a mistake, it could disrupt their rhythm.
“In other words, just like usual… Stay calm, it’s just a slightly bigger snake.”
Ling Mo took a deep breath, then sped up, leading Ye Lian and the three girls as they charged into the visitors’ center.
The hall was too spacious, with only some model exhibits and park introductions.
There were about ten pillars on each side, thick and sturdy, making it unlikely for the Fourth Stage Mutation Python to easily knock them down.
“Upstairs, upstairs!”
Switching to Black Silk’s point of view, Ling Mo saw it was in a precarious situation, narrowly avoiding the snake’s tail several times.
The debris from demolished buildings had already caused it some harm, and it didn’t seem like it could hold out much longer.
After sending a signal through the Psychic Link, Black Silk immediately turned and headed towards the visitors’ center, expected to arrive within a minute.
Ling Mo and the girls had just rushed to the second floor when Black Silk charged in, followed closely by the Fourth Stage Mutation Python.
As soon as it burst through the door, Ling Mo’s invisible Psychic Tentacle wrapped around it.
The python began to writhe as if it had spotted some phantom prey and lunged at a nearby pillar.
Seizing this opportunity, Li Yalin leaped over the railing, gripping the pillar with one hand as she descended a few steps. She then thrust her upper body downward, and with a swift motion, her Snake Kiss slashed across one of the python’s eyes.
“Splurt!”
The eyeball burst, and the Fourth Stage Mutation Python immediately whipped its tail, raising its head.
“Boom!”
The tail struck a pillar, and Ling Mo even felt the floor beneath him tremble.
But as soon as its head lifted, Li Yalin quickly flipped onto it, catching Xia Na and hurling her forward.
As Xia Na landed in front of the Fourth Stage Mutation Python, Ling Mo’s Psychic Tentacle initiated another round of strangulation.
Xia Na’s eyes suddenly changed color. Although the effect on the Mutation Python was minimal, it did have some impact.
The snake’s tongue was right in front of her, but Xia Na smiled and swung her Scythe down fiercely!
“Boom!”
As she landed, half of the snake’s tongue fell to the ground.
“Xia Na, fall back!”
“Whoosh!”
Just as the tail whipped around, Ye Lian had already jumped down, grabbing Xia Na and leaping high into the air.
In mid-air, her Tiger Claw slashed through the Mutation Python’s other eye, then, using the momentum, she plunged it into a pillar.
Li Yalin immediately reached down, pulling them back up.
By this time, Ling Mo’s forehead was drenched in sweat. Using the Psychic Tentacle for constant Interference and psychic strangulation was extremely taxing, especially against such a formidable Python.
However, with all its sensory organs destroyed, the Fourth Stage Mutation Python’s threat level had significantly decreased.
“Don’t go down yet, let’s wear it out for a while.”
Leaning back, Ling Mo gave the command.
The entire visitors’ center felt like it was situated on a fault line, continuously shaking as if it could collapse at any moment.
Fortunately, the structure was solid. Despite the falling plaster, shattered glass, and even the huge chandelier crashing down, it could still hold up for a bit longer.
The coordination among Ling Mo and the girls was impeccable during the fight. They were decisive, giving the Fourth Stage Mutation Python no chance to catch its breath or climb up.
“That was intense.”
Ling Mo breathed deeply, watching the Fourth Stage Mutation Python go berserk below.
Black Silk had already jumped out of the window. Having sprinted desperately moments ago, it was now panting heavily outside.
If any of their maneuvers had been off by a step, they’d likely be the ones running around the hall in a panic.
No words were needed. As long as there was a deep Psychic Link and Ling Mo was alive, they could achieve such seamless coordination in battle.
This was the true strength of the Puppet Control Ability.
Even without directly controlling their actions, Ling Mo could achieve this level of synergy.
“Wow, I almost want to cheer it on,” Xia Na remarked, crouching behind the railing with a look of astonishment as she watched the Fourth Stage Mutation Python.
The Mutation Python, having lost all its sensory abilities and trapped in this place, could do nothing but thrash around wildly, wasting its own energy.
“Good thing this thing isn’t very smart, or we’d be in big trouble today,” Ling Mo said with relief. “It seems that although Fourth Stage Mutation Beasts are on par with Leader-Level Zombies, and even individually stronger, their Intelligence can’t compare… However, there should be individual differences among snakes. The one we encountered before was much smarter. Would you say this one is just a big dumb brute?”
“Snakes’ Intelligence is probably among the lowest of reptiles, right? Ling-Ge, what mindset do you have comparing it to us?” Xia Na turned to look at Ling Mo, her smile teasing.
“…Tell me, where did you hide Silly Nana…”
Ling Mo felt a chill run down his spine. Previously, he found it amusing that Xia Na named her little demon persona “Black Na,” but now it seemed very fitting.
Moreover, during intense battles, Black Na seemed to take control more easily.
On the bright side, this seemed to enhance her combat abilities…
Not everyone can smile in the face of a Mutation Python’s gaping maw; even fearless zombies wouldn’t find such a situation enjoyable.
“Hmph.” Xia Na snorted and fell silent.
Li Yalin, gripping the railing, was also excitedly watching below, her eyes fixed on the head of the Fourth Stage Mutation Python.
There was a large bulge there, hiding the Mutation Python’s viral hive…
At that moment, Ye Lian suddenly asked in confusion, “How long will it take for it to exhaust its energy?”
Ling Mo was momentarily stunned.
He hadn’t actually considered that…
However, after several hours passed and even as night fell, the visitor center continued to echo with “boom boom” sounds and occasionally shook, Ling Mo finally appreciated the stamina of a Fourth Stage Mutation Python…
Taking a sip of water and a bite of beef jerky, Ling Mo finally showed a slightly embarrassed smile under the watchful eyes of Ye Lian and the three girls.
“Well… isn’t it kind of nice to have this place as a vibrating bed…? Actually, the legendary Crazy Disco is like this.”
