Chapter 628: The Fantastic Four's First Battle

"what is that?"

Tandy, who was originally too busy treating his own injuries to pay attention, also noticed the unusual movement in the sky. Who would have thought that when he looked up, he would see such an amazing scene.

"It must be other superhumans attracted by the distress signal." Tyrone looked at Tandy in his arms, first checked Tandy's injuries and then glanced at his face. He was relieved when he found nothing unusual.

"I hope it's not the second Viper Gang." Quentin pushed his sunglasses, and his words attracted the attention of Tandy and the others. This pink-haired boy loved to pour cold water on others, but they had to admit that he was right this time.

"If you can still move, I suggest we evacuate early."

The double-barreled shotgun in Quentin's hand was always aimed at the rock python that was blocked by the rising flames. The threat was self-evident, but this was not a long-term solution.

You have to know that maintaining this gun also consumes energy and mental energy. According to Quentin's own experiments, he can maintain this gun for at least half a day without firing any bullets, but as the amount of bullets fired increases, this time will gradually decrease.

It took him nearly twenty shots to deal with Zebudia and the snake man. Not only that, he also threw a grenade just now, which consumed much more energy than twenty rounds of ammunition.

Calculating this way, Quentin concluded that the gun in his hand could only last about twenty minutes at most. If he wanted to fire again, the time would have to be shortened even further. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was out of ammunition and food.

There are extremely ferocious snake people in front of him and fire people who are difficult to distinguish between friend and foe behind him. Quentin knows that he cannot panic more at this time, and this last bullet must be saved for the right time.

It would be best if the two freaks in front of him could fight each other so that he can benefit from it.

Quentin thought about ways to break the deadlock, but he never thought of leaving Tandy and the other two behind to escape alone. The two people behind him also noticed the nervousness of the pink-haired boy. At this time, Tandy, whose injuries had almost healed, stood up with the help of Tyrone and put his hand on Quentin's shoulder.

Quentin was startled, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Tandy and the other two, but he couldn't help but complain at the same time.

"Why are you two as silent as ghosts?"

Tandy and the other man didn't actually mean to remain silent. The reason Quentin didn't notice was because he was too nervous. Seeing through the pink-haired boy's embarrassment, the two of them didn't point it out, but just smiled and said nothing.

"Don't worry, Quentin. Even if there's danger, Tyrone will take you away." Tandy comforted him. "We will protect your safety."

"Tsk!" Quentin curled his lips. "Who you're protecting is anyone's guess. If it weren't for me, you'd both be turned into basilisk excrement."

It has to be said that the pink-haired boy's words were really unpleasant. Tandy couldn't help but once again hallucinate the child of his relative who died young.

Ignoring the other party's protests, Tandy forcibly rubbed Quentin's pink-haired head, which slightly reduced the anger in his heart.

Taking advantage of the untimely relaxation of several people, the rock python that was blocked outside the fire wall felt helpless. Although he was not as good as swords and guns, he still had a certain fear of high temperatures.

Moreover, the creator of this wall of fire, the fire man flying freely in the sky, was obviously not going to let him go and was already preparing to launch a second attack.

Who is this burning figure in the sky? With such a flamboyant style, it's no wonder it's Johnny, who rushed to support after hearing the distress signal.

With the ability to fly brought by his super power, Johnny volunteered to become a scout. He didn't expect that he would find such an exciting scene when he arrived.

"A basilisk?" Johnny grinned. "It's the perfect enemy for the Human Torch's debut!" "Hiss!" The rock python seemed to have lost the ability to communicate. It opened its bloody mouth and roared at the creature in the sky that annoyed it. Its two long fangs shone like metal in the sunlight.

Twisting his body, the rock python waved the chains tied to his arms. The two chains seemed to come alive in his hands, winding around the nearby stones like two metal pythons.

Dragging the stone, the rock python exerted force with its arms and threw the stone towards Johnny in the air. The latter smiled confidently, drew an arc in the air and avoided the stone thrown by the rock python.

However, this trick was just a deception. The real attack of the rock python was still to come. A chain emerged from Johnny's blind spot. When Johnny heard the whistling sound of breaking wind, the chain was already not far behind him.

Johnny swallowed unconsciously. Although the flames on his body could melt metal, it would take time. It was impossible to melt the metal instantly before it touched the chain, so it would still hurt when the chain hit him.

Seeing that Johnny was about to pay the price for his arrogance, a blue translucent ball covered Johnny, just blocking the chains outside.

Although the damage was blocked, the kinetic energy still had to be borne. Johnny in the air was pulled down from the air like a ping-pong ball.

"boom!"

There was a sudden earthquake, and the ball that trapped Johnny was embedded in the ground, but at least it was not damaged. Looking at the cracked ground, Johnny knew that if this whip hit him, he would definitely be seriously injured.

"Whoo~"

Johnny patted his chest and just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"I won't wipe your ass next time, Johnny."

Johnny turned around and saw Susan, whose hands were shining with the same blue light as the mask, and Reed, the team brain who was inseparable from her.

Deliberately ignoring Susan's words, Johnny pretended to be calm and asked, "Where's Ben? Why can't I see him? Is his legs too short and he runs too slowly?"

Susan dispersed the light on her hand, pointed in the direction of the rock python and said, "It's right there."

Johnny turned around and saw Ben facing the rock python. The head-on confrontation between the two monsters as big as mountains made everyone present excited.

"boom!"

"hiss!"

The rock python opened its bloody mouth again and bit Ben's head fiercely. The two fangs that were like steel knives did not bite him as he had imagined, but were stuck in Ben's skin contrary to his expectation.

Feeling the dull pain from the roots of his teeth, the rock python's vertical pupils were filled with shock. You know, his fangs can penetrate even metal without any hindrance, so he didn't even take the stone man in front of him seriously.

He originally wanted to rely on his fangs to end the battle instantly, but he didn't expect that the opponent's hardness was far beyond his expectations. This was not the defensive power that stone could possess.

Ben, who was bitten by the snake, was about to vomit. He didn't know what the snake had eaten, but a fishy smell kept coming from him. If he continued to smell it, he would definitely faint.
