Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 197 - 197 197 Escape for Life Second Update

197: Chapter 197: Escape for Life (Second Update) 197: Chapter 197: Escape for Life (Second Update) Su Mo and the other two jumped in different directions!

Boom!

The entire metal floor dented from the impact of the Resentment Snake, but it didn’t seem to affect it at all.

It stiffly retracted its head, then turned to lock its gaze onto Sun Duoxiang.

Sun Duoxiang was almost scared out of his wits.

“Brother, I have no grudge with you!

Stop staring at me.”

Su Mo acutely noticed that the Resentment Snake’s body had not recovered yet; its joints were still very stiff.

It also seemed very weak, the Heart of Radiant in its chest was not bright enough, and it had not displayed the combat strength of a Type III General Level.

Now that it had fixed its attention on Sun Duoxiang, there was a good opportunity to buffer.

So he said to Zhang Hao and Ma Ke, “You go help Lan Xi move the stuff, and then the three of you retreat first.

I’ll hold off this monster with Sun Duoxiang.”

“Understood!”

Zhang Hao and Ma Ke immediately sprinted towards Lan Xi.

At this moment, Sun Duoxiang was frantically running inside the laboratory, dodging and avoiding the Resentment Snake’s attacks behind various pieces of equipment, while crying out to Su Mo.

“Brother, save me!!!”

Boom!

No matter what kind of large equipment or obstacles, they all disintegrated under the assault of the Resentment Snake.

Su Mo squinted his eyes, ready to draw Ink Frost to attract aggro, but then he gave up the idea.

Against a monster of this level, even if he slashed it many more times, he figured it would probably have no effect; going in would be giving himself away for nothing.

However, he couldn’t just do nothing; Sun Duoxiang wouldn’t last.

Therefore, Su Mo resolutely pulled out his automatic pistol and started shooting at the eyes of the Resentment Snake.

Bang bang!

Each shot hit the eyeballs, but unfortunately, they didn’t burst.

It did, however, successfully enrage the Resentment Snake, which instantly shifted its target and charged furiously towards Su Mo.

Boom!

Everything in its path, be it ice sculptures or equipment, was sent flying.

Su Mo turned and quickly began to run.

Of course, he wasn’t just blindly fleeing; he changed direction from time to time, leading the monster around in circles.

His heart was constantly tense, and the holographic image of his Black Steel Mechanical Armor kept giving warnings.

“Warning: the target’s heat radiation reaction value is climbing steadily!”

…

Su Mo’s eyes grew increasingly intense; he was very aware that once the monster’s heat radiation reaction value rose to a Type II Elite Level, it would be able to use the Heat Radiation Energy Beam, which would make it even harder to escape!

So the time they had to deal with the emergency was running out.

Thus, Su Mo decided to take a gamble.

He ran toward the laboratory exit to the metal wall on the left side, heading directly towards what seemed like a dead end.

“Hey hey, brother, you’re going the wrong way, that’s a dead end!”

Sun Duoxiang, who had recovered a little, urgently shouted to Su Mo.

Suddenly, the Resentment Snake caught up, its immense shadow looming over Su Mo.

Yet, Su Mo’s heart didn’t have a hint of panic.

He watched the shadow covering him and listened to the sounds made by the Resentment Snake, silently calculating the distance between the snake and himself.

Accompanied by a terrible roar.

The Resentment Snake opened its bloodthirsty maw in its chest and lunged to bite Su Mo.

Su Mo’s body slightly bent, and he instantly activated all the auxiliary power of his Mechanical Armor.

He jumped on the spot, his foot landing on the metal wall, and then he used the momentum to flip over the Resentment Snake!

The whole process was done in one go.

The next second, the Resentment Snake smashed into the metal wall.

Sun Duoxiang watched, mouth agape in awe—impressive!

But at that moment, Su Mo ran past him towards the exit, suddenly saying.

“Don’t just stand there, run!”

Sun Duoxiang immediately snapped back to reality and hurriedly followed!

“Big brother, wait for me….”

The two of them were running side by side in the corridor when a soul-shaking roar sounded from behind them!

Sun Duoxiang trembled even more upon hearing the noise.

“Big brother, the monster is catching up to us fast, what should we do?”

“Don’t ask me, just run.”

Su Mo didn’t have a better idea either; there was only one way out.

Besides, the monster was far beyond his ability to cope with, and any attempt to challenge it would be extremely foolish.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Sun Duoxiang’s expression turned wonderfully complex, but then a thought flashed through his mind.

If he wasn’t good at anything else, surely he could still run away.

As long as he ran faster than Su Mo, he would be safe.

With this thought, Sun Duoxiang’s heart immediately felt considerably lighter.

He coughed, and said to Su Mo with utter seriousness, “Big brother, sorry, but I need to run at full speed!”

No sooner had he finished speaking did he see Su Mo get serious too.

His speed suddenly surged, and he left Sun Duoxiang trailing behind him.

Sun Duoxiang was flabbergasted; he ran as fast as he could, trying to catch up.

However, not only did he not catch up with Su Mo, but the distance between them grew even bigger.

Sun Duoxiang’s face darkened.

What was happening?

Why was Su Mo running so fast?

Although it seemed like Sun Duoxiang was the fastest on ordinary days, that was only because Su Mo didn’t bother to run at the front; he usually held back.

At this moment, the Resentment Snake madly surged forward, its gaping maw wide open, ready to swallow Sun Duoxiang whole.

“Big brother, wait for me!”

Sun Duoxiang was so scared, he felt like his soul was about to leave his body.

“Su Mo, hurry up!”

Lan Xi and the other two, who had already escaped, poked their heads back in and anxiously yelled to Su Mo and the others.

Su Mo’s pupils contracted, and his power burst forth anew, his speed increasing yet again and leaving Sun Duoxiang even further behind.

Sun Duoxiang felt even more desperate.

He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, chasing after with all his might.

Alas, the Resentment Snake still caught up, lunging forward to bite Sun Duoxiang.

Sun Duoxiang instinctively felt the danger and leaped forward just in time.

Due to the confined space in the corridor, the Resentment Snake couldn’t fully open its mouth and missed its bite.

But that was enough to scare Sun Duoxiang out of his wits, and he burst forth once again, his running speed soaring to new heights.

As the saying goes, only the threat of death could push a person beyond their limits.

Of course, the biggest credit went to the Mechanical Armor.

Without it, they would have probably been dead already.

By now, Su Mo had successfully dashed out of the base exit.

He clambered onto a Mecha parked nearby and yelled to Lan Xi and the others.

“Stay back!”

“Understood!”

Lan Xi and the other two quickly ran off.

Su Mo, with lightning speed, started up the Black Steel Envoy, hiding to the right of the exit with the black Chain Gun held high.

“Save me, boss!”

The wails of Sun Duoxiang begging for help from inside the base grew closer and closer.

Su Mo took a deep breath, his focus intensifying.

Just as Sun Duoxiang tumbled out, Su Mo maximized the power output.

In the next second, the Resentment Snake also burst out.

Su Mo, controlling the Black Steel Envoy and wielding the black Chain Gun, thrust forcefully downward!

Crack!

The black Chain Gun successfully pierced through the neck of the Resentment Snake and pinned it to the ground, nailing the entire snake in place.

The Resentment Snake instantly became furiously mad, wildly twisting its head trying to free itself.

At that moment, Su Mo controlled the Black Steel Envoy to leap up; the 150-ton behemoth crashed down directly onto the snake’s head.

Boom!
