Chapter 651: Poisoned Reed

Relying on its extremely strong elasticity, Reed's arm stretched at least dozens of meters, but his target was not the Black Mamba that was very close to him but the King Cobra that was a little further away.

"Snapped!"

The moment his palm touched the smooth, scaly body of the king cobra, Reed controlled his five fingers and began to extend them. The five fingers wrapped around the snake's tail several times before they were firmly fixed on it.

The king cobra felt something strange, but Reed's strength was too weak to allow him to be on guard. Instead, the stone man in front of him approached him again, forcing him to be fully alert to deal with it.

Fortunately, the sneak attacker entangled his tail. The King Cobra took the stone man's attack head-on and then twisted its body and swung its tail, trying to use its huge strength to break free from Reed's control.

Unexpectedly, this was exactly what Reed wanted. Feeling the huge force on his arm, Reed did not resist but continued to use his body's strong flexibility and ductility, allowing the king cobra to swing its tail and his arm at the same time.

However, there was a Black Mamba sandwiched between Reed and the King Cobra. Reed suddenly swung his arm and hit the Black Mamba's leg hard. The latter fell to the ground wailing, and probably couldn't stand up.

By leveraging the opponent's force, Reed eliminated the Black Mamba who was in a stalemate with Susan. The wailing of the last teammate attracted the attention of the King Cobra. It turned its long neck and did a 180-degree turn without turning around.

Seeing the Black Mamba falling to the ground, the King Cobra realized that he was now left alone. Not only that, his enemies were also all intact. The situation had changed from crisis to despair.

He had to find a way to escape. Without the god Set responding to him, there was no way he could defeat all of them. If he continued like this, it would be a fight of a trapped beast.

If the gang is gone, it can be rebuilt and the leaders can be found again, but if I fail here, there will be no chance for me to get out again.

Having made up its mind, the King Cobra rolled its eyes and quietly moved its tail to bring the snake staff wrapped around it to its side...

"Watch out! He's going to use that cane again!"

Reed's hands were still wrapped around the king cobra's tail, so the latter's little movements naturally did not escape his eyes. After feeling the king cobra's movements, he immediately understood the other party's thoughts.

"Damn it!" The king cobra roared, and its scarlet tongue kept spitting out bursts of stench, and a drop of dark purple venom dripped out along its fangs.

"Tick!"

"what!"

Reed realized something was wrong when the king cobra turned its head, but he was still a step too slow to withdraw his hand, and the venom still dripped onto his hand.

“Um…ah…”

Reed endured the waves of severe pain after being touched by the venom, and tied his hand into several knots with his own ability to prevent the venom from invading more organs along his right hand.

He didn't know if this would help, but it was all he could do now. The severe pain was eroding his sanity, and now Reid could only pray that Tandy and the others would notice him soon.

Reed didn't have to wait too long. Tandy and Tyrone didn't let Reed down. After hearing Reed's screams, Tyrone took Tandy through space and came to Reed's side.

Tandy thrust the energy dagger he had prepared long ago into Reed's arm. The blade sank into Reed's arm without any obstruction, but no blood flowed out. After entering Reed's body, the blade began to melt at a visible speed and then penetrated Reed's body. Then, an anxious Susan rushed over.

"How is he?" Susan asked Tandy. Although she was anxious, she remained calm. Looking at the beads of sweat dripping from Reed's forehead, she felt her heart was broken.

"I've already injected my powers into Mr. Reed, and that should help him get better," Tandy breathed a sigh of relief. "Unfortunately, I can't inject too much energy into him at once. If the toxins are too potent, I'll probably have to consider amputation."

With a sinking heart, Susan did not respond to these cruel words. When she turned to look at Reed again, she had already made up her mind. If the latter was hesitant, she would make the decision for him, even if Reed would hate her for the rest of his life.

"It's okay, Susan." Reed panted, and with his good left hand, he grasped Susan's hand on his shoulder. "Use your hand, or Tandy's dagger, to cut my hand off, and then have Johnny burn the wound to stop the bleeding. Let's survive first, and then think about the future."

Losing a hand was not unacceptable to Reed. Even a fool could tell which was more important, life or a hand.

"Let me try first," Tandy interrupted Reed. "I can still use my powers for a while. Let me see if I can force the venom out. Don't worry, as long as I keep using my powers, Mr. Reed's poison won't worsen."

After hearing this, Susan quickly gave up her position so that Tandy could treat Reed.

"Thank you, Tandy." Susan thanked Tandy, but the latter had already immersed himself in the treatment and had no way to respond to her thanks.

...

When the King Cobra saw that one drop of its venom could subdue four people, it was overjoyed and quickly held its snake staff in front of it, ready to use the magic it had prepared long ago to escape.

Suddenly, a yellow figure rushed towards the King Cobra at an extremely fast speed and was in front of him before he raised his snake staff. Fearing that his snake staff would be damaged, the King Cobra had no choice but to wrap it behind his back with its tail.

"boom!"

He stretched out his arms to resist the oncoming figure, but he didn't expect that his arms would be knocked away at the first moment of collision, and the other party rushed into his arms without any hindrance.

Therefore, King Cobra also saw the appearance of the person who came, and the person who came was the stone man Ben. The miserable situation of his friend aroused his anger, and Ben's power reached a new level.

"You're a snake too, right?" Ben asked gravely, his two stone eyebrows raised. "I'm going to break your limbs right now so I can create the necessary serum."

"Maybe." The King Cobra hissed. "But it depends on whether you can do it!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Dozens of fireballs fell from the sky. This indiscriminate attack caught both Ben and the King Cobra. The increased power of the fireballs made the King Cobra twist its body in pain, but Ben, with his stone body, completely ignored the temperature.

"Don't forget me, you reptile!" Johnny circled around the two wrestlers. "Watch your crutch, or I'll melt it in a second!"
