Chapter 628 Fantastic Four's First Battle
"What is that?"
Tandy, who had been preoccupied with healing her own injury and hadn't had time to be distracted, also noticed the unusual activity in the sky. Who would have thought that when she looked up, she would see such an amazing sight.
"Presumably, it's another superhuman attracted by the SOS signal," Tyrone looked at Tandy in his arms, first checked Tandy's injury, then glanced at her face, and only relaxed after finding nothing unusual.
"Hope it's not the second Serpent Gang," Quentin pushed his oversized sunglasses. His words caused Tandy and Tyrone to look sideways. This pink-haired kid liked to pour cold water on people the most, but they had to admit that he was right this time.
"If you guys can still move, I suggest we'd better evacuate sooner rather than later."
The double-barreled shotgun in Quentin's hand was always aimed at the Rock Python that was blocked by the rising flame. The meaning of threat was self-evident, but this was not a long-term solution.
You should know that maintaining this gun also consumes energy and mind. According to Quentin's own experiment, he can maintain this gun for at least half a day without firing a bullet, but as the amount of bullets fired increases, this time will gradually decrease.
Dealing with Zebediah and that Serpent Man made him fire almost twenty shots. Not only that, but he also threw a hand grenade just now. The energy consumed by that thing is much more than twenty rounds of ammunition.
Calculated in this way, Quentin concluded that the gun in his hand could last for about twenty more minutes at most. If he had to fire the gun again, the time would be further shortened. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was running out of ammunition and food.
With the fiercely unusual Serpent Man in front and the Human Torch whose friend or foe was difficult to distinguish behind, Quentin knew that the more this time was, the more he could not panic. These last bullets must be reserved for the appropriate time to use.
It would be best if the two freaks in front of him could fight each other, so he could benefit from it.
Quentin racked his brain for a method to break the situation, but he never thought about abandoning Tandy and Tyrone behind him to escape alone. The two behind him also saw the pink-haired kid's nervousness. At this time, Tandy, whose injury had healed considerably, stood up with Tyrone's support and put her hand on Quentin's shoulder.
Quentin was startled. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Tandy and Tyrone, and at the same time, he couldn't help but complain.
"How come you two are as silent as ghosts?"
Tandy and Tyrone didn't actually deliberately not make a sound. The reason Quentin didn't notice was because he was too nervous. The two who saw through the pink-haired kid's embarrassment didn't point it out, just smiled and didn't speak.
"Don't worry, Quentin, even if there is danger, Tyrone can take you away," Tandy comforted. "We will protect your safety."
"Tch!" Quentin curled his lips. "It's not certain who's protecting whom. If it weren't for me, you two would have already become Serpent Man's feces."
I have to say that this pink-haired kid's words are indeed very harsh. Tandy couldn't help but once again have a visual of the child from her prematurely deceased relative's family.
Ignoring the other party's protest, Tandy forcibly rubbed Quentin's pink hair, which slightly reduced the anger in her heart.
Taking advantage of the inappropriate relaxation of several people, the Rock Python, who was blocked outside the fire wall, was somewhat powerless. Although he was not as good as knives and guns, he still had a certain fear of high temperature.
Moreover, the creator of this fire wall, the Human Torch who was soaring freely in the sky, obviously did not intend to let him go. The other party was already preparing to launch a second attack.
Who is this Human Torch in the sky? With such a flamboyant style of doing things, it must be Johnny who rushed to support after hearing the SOS signal.
Relying on the flight ability brought by his own superpower, Johnny volunteered to become a scout. Unexpectedly, as soon as he rushed over, he discovered such an exciting scene.
"A Serpent Man?" Johnny grinned. "As Human Torch's first entrance enemy, it couldn't be better!"
"Hiss!" Rock Python seemed to have lost the ability to communicate. He opened his blood basin mouth and roared at the guy in the sky who made him feel annoyed. Two long snake fangs shone with a metallic luster under the sunlight.
Twisting his body, Rock Python waved the chain tied to his arms. These two chains were like living things in his hands, like two metal pythons, winding towards the stone blocks nearby.
Dragging the stone blocks, Rock Python exerted force with both arms and threw the stone blocks towards Johnny in the air. The latter smiled confidently and drew an arc in the air to dodge the stone thrown by Rock Python.
However, this move was just an illusion. Rock Python's real attack was still behind. A chain emerged from Johnny's blind spot. By the time Johnny heard the wind-breaking sound of "whoosh," the chain had already reached not far behind him.
Johnny swallowed unconsciously. Although the flame on his body could melt metal, it would take time. It was impossible to instantly melt metal before it even touched the chain, so if this chain hit him, it would still hurt.
Seeing that Johnny was about to pay the price for his arrogance, a blue translucent sphere enveloped Johnny, just in time to block the chain outside.
Although the damage was blocked, the kinetic energy that should be endured still had to be endured. Johnny in the air was like a ping pong ball being pulled down from the air.
"Boom!"
A burst of earth-shattering shaking. The sphere that trapped Johnny was embedded in the ground, but at least he didn't receive damage. Looking at the cracked ground, Johnny knew that if this whip hit him, he would definitely be seriously injured.
"Whew~"
Johnny patted his chest. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a familiar sound from behind him.
"Next time, I won't clean up your butt for you, Johnny."
Johnny turned his head and saw Susan, whose hands were shining with blue light like the barrier, 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 don't I see him? Could it be that his legs are too short and he runs too slowly?"
Susan dissipated the light on her hands and pointed in the direction of Rock Python, saying, "He's right there."
Johnny turned his head and saw Ben facing Rock Python head-on. The direct confrontation between two monsters as big as a hill made everyone present's blood boil.
"Bang!"
"Hiss!"
Rock Python opened his blood basin mouth again and bit Ben's head fiercely. The two fangs like steel swords did not gain as he imagined, but unexpectedly got stuck outside Ben's skin.
Feeling the dull pain from the tooth root, Rock Python's slit pupils were filled with shock. You should know that his fangs can penetrate even metal without obstacles, let alone the Thing in front of him, which he didn't even take seriously.
He wanted to rely on his fangs to instantly end the battle, but he didn't expect the opponent's hardness to far exceed his expectations. This was not the defense power that stone could possess.
And Ben, who was bitten by him, was about to vomit at this time. He didn't know what this snake had eaten, but a stench was constantly coming, and if he smelled it any longer, he would definitely faint first.
