He Ning's flame bullets were extremely powerful; when they hit the three-headed dog's three large heads, they blew off half of each head's skull.
The three-headed vicious dog lay on the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
It's possible that the head was the three-headed dog's weak point, and those three shots killed it.
However, the Crimson Fire Serpent did not die after being shot. Although three bloody holes were blasted into its body and flames were still eroding its flesh, its vitality was extremely tenacious. It broke free of its chains in an instant and sprang forward, rushing towards He Ning and the others' location once again.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three more gunshots rang out.
He Ning fired three more bullets at the charging red fire snake.
But this time, she missed the incredibly agile Crimson Fire Serpent.
"Quickly, get her involved."
He Ning gave Zhang Long another order.
Zhang Long threw out two more chains, but even with their tight grip, they couldn't restrain the Crimson Fire Serpent.
As the crimson fire serpent drew ever closer, He Ning panicked. She turned to look at Lin Mo, hoping to get his help.
"How stupid! You guys spread out and let him use the chains to bind your bodies. The moment that red fire snake pounces, you break free and shoot at close range. And that even stupider little girl, her earth-type ability gathers mud and sand, which can not only form a stone wall for defense, but also attach to that red snake's body, making it slow down drastically."
Lin Mo couldn't help but give instructions.
He Ning made a decision quickly after hearing the news.
"Quickly, create some distance and bind my body with chains."
"Little Seedling, use your superpower to stick to it later."
Under He Ning's command, they quickly pulled back a long distance and swung out chains to entangle He Ning's body.
Then look at the red fire serpent, which has already darted close.
At the critical moment, He Ning remained calm and composed. She needed to time her retreat to avoid the moment the Crimson Fire Serpent landed. She had to be very close before retreating, otherwise this method would not kill the Crimson Fire Serpent.
So, when the fiery serpent lunged forward again, He Ning shouted, "Pull!"
After receiving He Ning's order, Zhang Long pulled hard on the chain.
Using the force of the backward movement, He Ning was thrown back several meters in an instant.
The Crimson Fire Serpent missed its target. The instant it landed, Tao Xiaomiao, who was far away, used her supernatural ability to manipulate mud and sand to gather around the Crimson Fire Serpent.
When it tried to launch itself again, it found that its body had become very heavy and it had lost its grip on the ground, so it couldn't launch itself at all.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Four more gunshots rang out, and four flaming bullets struck the head of the Crimson Fire Serpent, blasting four bloody holes in its skull, the flames scorching its flesh.
The red fire serpent struggled on the ground for a moment before dying completely.
Seeing this, He Ning, who was in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief.
Great.
The two ferocious beasts finally died.
They are safe.
Then, He Ning looked at Lin Mo riding his electric scooter and walked towards him.
She walked up to Lin Mo and gave him a very standard military salute.
"Comrade, thank you so much for earlier. Are you also a superhuman?"
He Ning looked at Lin Mo with some embarrassment.
She just treated Lin Mo like he was crazy, and her tone was very unpleasant.
As a result, the other party saved her with just a few words.
"By the way, how did you figure out that Qian Guisheng's stink bomb could be detonated? And you seem to know a lot about the uses of our superpowers. Your tactics just now were also perfect. You're amazing."
He Ning praised Lin Mo without reservation, to which Lin Mo simply replied, "It's not that I'm too amazing, it's that you're too stupid."
He Ning: "Uh..."
This time, He Ning wasn't angry; she just gave an awkward smile.
"I really didn't expect our superpowers could be used in this way, so I want to thank you for your command."
"By the way, my name is He Ning, and I'm a police superintendent at the nearby police station. May I ask your name, sir?"
Lin Mo ignored He Ning's question and got on his electric scooter to leave.
He Ning immediately stopped him.
"Hey comrade, where are you going? That's the direction of Matou Mountain, it's very dangerous."
"Danger?" Lin Mo stopped.
"How dangerous?"
"I think you went to Matou Mountain to pick those golden fruits, right?" He Ning guessed.
In her opinion, Lin Mo must also be a superhuman, and those fruits can enhance strength, so his trip to Matou Mountain must be because of those golden fruits.
Matoushan has the largest flower cultivation base in the city, with hundreds of greenhouses, which is well known to the locals.
"That's right, I went to Matou Mountain for those spirit cores." Lin Mo did not deny it.
"Spirit Cores? So those golden fruits are called Spirit Cores." He Ning murmured, then immediately advised Lin Mo, "Comrade, I advise you not to go. There is a very powerful ferocious beast over at Matou Mountain that can fly. Many superhumans have gone there and never returned."
But while she was scavenging for food these past two days, she heard something: many of the superhumans in the area had gone to Matou Mountain, but none of them had returned.
She was busy searching for food, so she didn't go.
"A flying beast?" Lin Mo murmured.
However, his current sword control range is eighty meters, and the golden sword can only reach a maximum height of eighty meters in the air. Although eighty meters is not high, not even as high as a small bird can fly, it is still a force to be reckoned with against flying beasts.
With its extreme speed, self-preservation is definitely not a problem.
Therefore, Lin Mo was not afraid.
"Okay, I understand."
After casually replying to He Ning, Lin Mo hopped on his electric scooter and continued on his way.
But He Ning stopped him again.
"Comrade, why can't you understand what I'm saying? There's a very powerful and ferocious beast over at Matou Mountain. Going there is just suicide. Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"I'm not afraid."
Lin Mo replied casually and continued walking.
"Hey, comrade, why are you so stubborn? I'm just trying to help you."
He Ning grabbed Lin Mo's car handle and wouldn't let him leave no matter what.
Lin Mo knew He Ning meant well, but he didn't have time to waste words with her right now.
"Before you worry about me, you'd better worry about yourself first. I advise you to cut off your right arm right now, otherwise... you won't even know how you died."
"The right arm was cut off?"
He Ning had no idea what Lin Mo was talking about.
She looked at her right arm and saw a small wound above her forearm.
This was when He Ning was fighting the Crimson Fire Serpent and was accidentally scratched by its scales, leaving a very small wound.
The wound bled a little, but it was just a very, very minor injury that could be easily treated with a band-aid, so He Ning didn't pay any attention to it.
Why is it that when it comes to Lin Mo, they have to cut off his right arm?
This guy is definitely bluffing himself.
"Alright, I've said enough. If you try to stop me again, I won't be so easy to talk to."
As he spoke, Lin Mo slapped He Ning's pert buttocks with a "smack".
Ignoring her, Lin Mo hopped on his electric scooter and continued towards Matou Mountain.
"you......"
Suddenly taken advantage of by Lin Mo, He Ning's face flushed slightly, and she stomped her foot in anger.
Looking in the direction Lin Mo had left, she couldn't help but curse, "Like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart!"
"Officer He, should I have those people come and collect the supplies now?"
At this moment, Zhang Long shouted to He Ning from a distance.
He Ning ran over to them again and ordered, "Okay, go and tell them to go to the base and call more people to move as much of the supplies in this supermarket as possible."
......
Lin Mo rode his electric scooter for another five minutes, and the streets became empty, with no shops or residential areas nearby.
Not far away, you can see a small mountain peak that looks like a steamed bun.
This can't even be called a mountain peak. The whole mountain is only a few dozen meters high, not even as tall as a building.
At the foot of the mountain is the flower cultivation base of Matoushan.
These breeding bases are usually located in relatively remote, undeveloped areas, such as the suburbs.
After all, land in the city is so expensive, every inch of it is worth its weight in gold. Who would open a breeding base covering hundreds of acres there?
This is just like a university.
Universities in urban areas, especially those in the city center, tend to have relatively small land areas.
In the suburbs, the land area is relatively large.
However, just as Lin Mo was about to enter the territory of Matou Mountain, several people suddenly jumped out from both sides of the road and blocked Lin Mo's way.
"Hey kid, stop right there."
Are you going to Matoushan?
The three people who stopped Lin Mo were young men, about the same age as Lin Mo.
Faced with the group blocking his way, Lin Mo simply uttered a single word: "Get lost."
"Damn! You're pretty cocky, aren't you? Think you're so cool just because you've awakened a superpower? Let me tell you, Horse Head Mountain has already been..."
The leader pointed at Lin Mo's nose and barked like a dog, but the next second, a golden light flashed, and the three people turned into "six and a half people".
The electric scooter's tires ran over a pool of blood, leaving a long red tire track on the road.
Lin Mo rode for a short while and then saw a stone gate with the words "Matoushan Flower Cultivation Base" engraved on it. From there, you could see a row of white greenhouses inside.
Lin Mo stopped his electric scooter and looked around warily.
He definitely believed He Ning's words.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Mo stepped into the gate, he heard a low-frequency flapping sound.
A flying beast, over a meter long, sped towards them.
This flying beast, at first glance, looks like a giant dragonfly, and it is indeed a ferocious beast mutated from a dragonfly.
It has a pair of huge red compound eyes and two pairs of broad membranous wings.
The moment Lin Mo saw it, he felt a chill run down his spine, and only one word flashed through his mind—run!
That's right, it's about running!
Run away without any hesitation!
"A Dragonfly King Beast! It's actually a Dragonfly King Beast!"
Without hesitation, Lin Mo activated the "Speed" talent, and in the instant he turned around, he disappeared from the spot like a streak of light.
Without hesitation, Lin Mo activated the "Speed" talent, and in the instant he turned around, he disappeared from the spot like a streak of light.
After running a long way, seeing that the dragonfly king beast had not chased after him, Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, his back was covered in cold sweat.
At this moment, the pressure exerted on Lin Mo by the E-level Dragonfly King Beast far exceeded that of the B-level Ghost Face Spider King!
Indeed, Lin Mo was frightened by an E-level ferocious beast.
This wasn't because he was cowardly, but because that dragonfly king beast was extremely terrifying!
Clearly, it is a ferocious beast mutated from a dragonfly.
Dragonflies, on the other hand, are the top predators in the insect world!
Dragonflies are familiar to many people; they are found everywhere along riverbanks in rural areas.
There are even more when it's about to rain.
The reason why dragonflies are considered top predators in the insect world is mainly because they have several incredibly powerful skills.
First of all, it has a pair of compound eyes, which are the largest compound eyes in nature. Each compound eye has more than 30,000 ommatidia, and the two eyes together are equivalent to more than 60,000 Xiahou Duns.
This gives them a 360-degree panoramic view with no blind spots, equivalent to an advanced active phased array radar!
Because of its numerous ommatidia, a dragonfly can quickly calculate and predict the prey's next movement trajectory based on the time it takes for the prey to move from one ommatidia's field of vision to another.
It is important to know that most animals in nature hunt by either chasing and using speed to win or by ambushing and hunting, but the dragonfly's hunting method is unique in nature.
It relies on... interception.
Dragonflies use 80% of their brain's computing power to process visual signals, and these visual signals are processed in the brain through "lateral inhibition."
What is "lateral inhibition"?
Simply put, a dragonfly's brain can precisely extract the outline of moving prey from an extremely complex visual background while filtering out other distractions, essentially marking the prey precisely, much like a fighter jet's radar lock-on, thus initiating automatic tracking.
This skill of precisely locking onto prey is directly connected to the neural circuitry; it requires no thought and is a neural reaction with extremely fast processing speed.
This highly efficient visual processing system, coupled with its enormous compound eyes, allows the dragonfly to see through the escape routes of its prey with the speed of a clairvoyant eye.
This gives dragonflies a hunting success rate of up to 95%, the highest in nature, far exceeding the lion's 25% and the great white shark's 50%.
As for wings, dragonflies can be traced back to the Carboniferous period 3.2 million years ago, belonging to the Paleoptera infraclass.
The characteristic of the Paleoptera subclass is that the vibration frequency is relatively low, about 20 times per second. This kind of wing is an old piece of equipment from the beta version of Earth Online, and it is no longer used by any organisms.
Most flying insects today belong to the Neoptera infraclass, and their wings can flap hundreds of times per second.
For example, bees, flies...
However, ancient winged creatures like dragonflies possess an extraordinary ability compared to the wings of other insects.
Insects in the Neoptera class can only flap their two pairs of wings synchronously, while dragonflies, due to their direct flight muscles, can control the flapping of their four wings independently.
By combining different flight angles of each wing, it is possible to perform actions that other flying insects cannot.
Examples include rapid hovering, vertical takeoff and landing, instantaneous acceleration, and inverted flight.
They can even fly while mating.
Some dragonfly species, such as the yellow dragonfly, can even travel more than 6,000 kilometers, enough to cross the Indian Ocean.
