I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 261 - 257 A Desperate Plan

Chapter 261: Chapter 257: A Desperate Plan Chapter 261 -257: A Desperate Plan “`

Snakes aren’t scary, it’s the snakes with wisdom that are.

The Giant Serpent stopped thrashing about, and it started swallowing stones.

Stones the size of human heads, one after another, lifted its head and swallowed them into its stomach with no more effort than if it were eating popped beans, swallowing three or four at a time.

The Giant Serpent’s plan was simple.

It aimed to use the stones to smash Taotie to death.

Even if it couldn’t smash Taotie to death, it would at least knock him unconscious.

Swallow him into its belly and digest him into a pile of dung.

“Damn beast, swallowing so many stones, aren’t you afraid of indigestion, gorging yourself to death…”

Taotie dodged the stones coming at him while cursing under his breath.

“We need to think of something!”

“If we let it keep swallowing stones like this, Taotie will be smashed to death before the Giant Serpent chokes on them.”

Watching the Giant Serpent continue to swallow stones, a look of worry appeared on the unchanging icy face of the Hummingbird.

Hearing Hummingbird’s words, Tom nodded his head.

Tom realized this as well.

He knew what the damn serpent was up to.

Tom’s brow furrowed as he watched the Giant Serpent picking up and eating stones, pondering what to do.

Looking at the snake blood on the ground and the half of the Snake Gall, Tom suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

“Hummingbird, use your gun!”

“Aim for the wounds on the snake’s body!”

“Fire as many bullets as you have!”

“Hurt it, make it come after us!”

Tom said coldly, his eyes fixed on the Giant Serpent.

In his heart, Tom secretly vowed to kill this snake.

Listenting to Tom’s words, the Hummingbird nodded.

She drew her gun, changed the magazine, and aimed at the wound on the Giant Serpent’s body—a wound caused by a bomb—while Tom quietly moved around to the other side.

They couldn’t both stand together, otherwise, a sweep of the Giant Serpent’s tail would cook them in one pot.

Though saving Taotie was urgent, they couldn’t be brainless about it. It wouldn’t do to fail to save one only to lose two more, which wasn’t Tom’s style.

Tom took his position and signaled to the Hummingbird.

The Hummingbird understood and immediately pulled the trigger.

With a series of “bang, bang, bang,” the bullets accurately hit the Giant Serpent’s wounds.

The Giant Serpent shuddered, turning its head towards the Hummingbird.

Its sole eye was blood-red and filled with malevolence.

The look sent a chill through the Hummingbird.

The Giant Serpent stared at the Hummingbird for a few seconds.

Contrary to what Tom and Hummingbird had expected, the serpent did not turn its head to strike at them but continued lowering its head, searching for suitable stones to swallow.

The reaction of the Giant Serpent was beyond Tom and Hummingbird’s expectations, leaving them dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Why wasn’t the snake following the script?

Tom’s top-notch smarts had proved ineffective against a serpent.

This Giant Serpent was hell-bent on killing Taotie, its hatred for him so deep, it became focused and undisturbed by anything else.

Tom frowned, staring at the Giant Serpent.

He began to consider how to kill the beast.

This couldn’t go on any longer.

Otherwise, even if the Giant Serpent died from exhaustion, Taotie would die before it.

Being suspended in the snake’s mouth, Taotie was already draining his strength.

And having to avoid stones as well, it was only a matter of time before Taotie would collapse from exhaustion.

Tom’s eyes darted around, looking for a game-changing strategy, and when his gaze swept across Hummingbird’s backpack, he suddenly brightened up, an idea forming.

Though it was highly dangerous, it was still a better option than letting Taotie wait for death in the serpent’s mouth, offering a ray of hope!

“Taotie!”

“You have a bomb in your bag!”

“`

Tom shouted at the top of his lungs.

This was the plan that Tom had come up with.

Let the Taotie save itself, using the bombs in the Taotie’s pack to kill the Giant Serpent.

“What?”

The Taotie, inside the serpent’s mouth, barely heard Tom’s shout and asked in return.

“There are bombs in the pack!”

Tom yelled loudly.

This time, the Taotie heard him clearly.

A light shone in the Taotie’s eyes; he understood Tom!

“Hummingbird, keep firing!”

Tom called out to Hummingbird.

As he spoke, Tom was the first to pull the trigger.

Tom wanted to help the Taotie by distracting the Giant Serpent.

Even if it could make the Giant Serpent pause for a moment, it would be good.

Hummingbird caught on and followed by firing as well.

Every shot from their guns hit the Giant Serpent’s wound without fail.

The dense bullets soon turned the piece of snake flesh into a sieve, a mass of indistinguishable flesh and blood; if someone scooped out this piece of meat, it probably would be laden with two pounds of bullets.

But the Giant Serpent’s endurance far exceeded Tom’s expectations. Despite trembling all over from the bullets, it still didn’t pay any attention to Tom and Hummingbird, stubbornly swallowing stones, trying to crush the Taotie in its mouth.

“You brute, you think you can kill me?”

“Damn it, I’ll kill you first!”

The Taotie freed one hand to remove his backpack, juggling it between hands while enduring being hit by stones three or four times before he managed to take it off successfully.

The Taotie bit down on the backpack with his teeth.

With one hand, he pulled at the zipper of the backpack and sure enough, in a hidden pocket, he saw several Sprite Ball Bombs, each as big as a fist.

Seeing these bombs, a gleam of excitement flashed in the Taotie’s eyes.

The Taotie took out a Sprite Ball Bomb, holding it in his hand. His mouth loosened, and the backpack fell freely towards the Giant Serpent’s throat.

With a cold smirk, the Taotie held the bomb in his hand, and seizing the moment when the Giant Serpent bowed its head to pick up stones, he drew his katana, stepped on the Mountain Splitter Dagger’s hilt for leverage, and leaped out of the Giant Serpent’s mouth.

Simultaneously, the Taotie squeezed hard on the Sprite Ball Bomb, activating it and throwing it into the Giant Serpent’s throat.

“Get down!”

The Taotie shouted as he leaped out of the serpent’s mouth.

Seeing the Taotie, hatred flashed in the eyes of the Giant Serpent, and it forgot about biting stones, instead snapping its jaw shut in an attempt to bite the Taotie.

Did you refuse to come out before, and now you want to run?

Come back here, nicely!

The Taotie rolled on the ground and using both hands and feet, he scrambled up and dashed forward.

The Giant Serpent followed closely, its mouth open to bite the Taotie.

With gritted teeth, the Taotie scrambled for his life.

At this moment…

The Taotie truly cursed himself for not having two more legs.

How quick four legs could run!

He had to run faster; there was no choice!

The bombs inside the Giant Serpent were about to explode.

Those Sprite Ball Bombs, all larger than fists, would create a blast wave upon exploding; even with the Giant Serpent’s thick flesh to absorb the impact, getting hit would be no small matter.

But the Giant Serpent had no intention of letting the Taotie go.

It kept on pursuing the Taotie relentlessly, determined to kill him wherever he ran.

The Taotie was inwardly complaining nonstop.

He was fleeing, and it was chasing; he was hopelessly outmatched!

In a chase that felt like an instant, a few seconds passed by.

With a thunderous explosion, blood rained and snake meat flew everywhere; the Taotie, being closest to the Giant Serpent, bore the brunt of it and was sent flying instantly.

Half of the Giant Serpent’s ferocious head tumbled through the air, directly plummeting towards the Taotie.

Hearing the strong wind behind him, the Taotie turned his head and locked gaze with one glaring eye on the half head of the Giant Serpent…
