Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources

Just as the three-headed serpent was about to pounce on Hazuki, a powerful hand flung it away.

The owner of the large hand was none other than Lin Luo.

Lin Luo asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Ye Yue said with lingering fear, "It's nothing, I was just startled just now."

"It's okay."

Lin Luo cautioned, "Everyone, watch your step. We're wearing biohazard suits, which normally prevent venomous snakes and insects from getting in. But the snakes on this island are different; they have three heads and might have some special features that could allow them to bite through the biohazard suits."

Everyone kept a close eye on their feet, fearing that a three-headed serpent might attack them.

The three-headed serpent is venomous, but its appearance alone is terrifying.

Everyone was so afraid of being bitten that they died on the spot.

Ye Yue moved quite close to Lin Luo, fearing that something might happen.

The closer she got to Lin Luo, the safer she felt.

"Ahhh!"

One of the Ye family members fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

"Xiao Wu, what happened?"

Old Ye asked.

"A sharp pain shot through my foot."

Xiao Wu slumped to the ground, his face contorted in pain.

"Sit on the ground and let me take a look."

Lin Luo walked over and offered to look at Xiao Wu's feet.

There was a large insect on Xiao Wu's foot, with many bone-like spines that tightly gripped his foot.

The bone spur had pierced through the shoe and entered the foot inside, causing blood to flow out.

Ye Yue frowned slightly and said, "When these bone worms attached themselves to your shoes, didn't you feel anything at all?"

Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "I didn't feel anything at all. I only realized it when I felt excruciating pain."

Lin Luo carefully observed the bone worm and analyzed, "The bone worm has a sharp thorn on its body, which should have pierced into the skin first, releasing a paralyzing effect, which is why you didn't feel the abnormality in your foot. Once the bone worm's bone tentacles are fully inserted into your foot, the paralysis it releases can no longer mask the pain you feel, and that's when you will feel the pain."

Ye Yue said, "The bone worms under Xiao Wu's feet are a type of parasite. He completely uses his feet as a parasitic host."

Lin Luo nodded and said, "The bone worm is a type of harmful parasite. It will gradually suck the blood from the foot it parasitizes, and eventually it may replace Xiao Wu's foot."

After hearing Lin Luo's analysis, Xiao Wu turned pale with fright: "Help me quickly, I don't want this thing to replace my legs."

Old Ye took out his military knife: "I'll use this military knife to get rid of Xiao Wu, this bone worm."

"Wait a moment."

Hazuki stopped her, saying, "What if the bone worm, like a leech, leaves bone spurs inside the body? That would be a big problem."

Lin Luo took out a piece of fresh meat and placed it in front of the bone worm.

The bone worm leaped onto the fresh meat, its bone piercing into the flesh.

As soon as the bone spur penetrates the fresh meat, the fresh meat begins to shrink.

"How disgusting! These bone worms are ugly, they look like monsters from hell."

"From this piece of fresh flesh, we can see that the bone worm is attached to the foot and is sucking the flesh. It is possible that the bone worm will replace the foot."

"I remember a parasite that eats the tongue of other parasites and replaces the tongue itself. The bone worm should work on the same principle."

...

Everyone was terrified of the bone worm, fearing that they might end up like Xiao Wu, with the bone worm grabbing their feet.

The most frightened person was Xiao Wu, who had just been parasitized by the bone worm.

He couldn't help but worry, "Will there be any long-term effects from being parasitized by these bone worms?"

Lin Luo examined the fresh flesh and shook his head, saying, "The bone worms aren't poisonous, you can rest assured about that."

"That's good."

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Next, everyone put on plastic shoes. These bone worms can sense the flesh and blood inside, and the plastic shoes should provide good insulation."

"Ok."

Everyone believed Lin Luo's words and changed into plastic shoes.

Plastic shoes are more durable than regular sports shoes or combat shoes, but they are much less comfortable.

Some plastic shoes are made from melted plastic and have a very pungent smell.

If a bone worm smells a pungent odor, it will likely choose to avoid it immediately.

Lin Luo and the others continued forward, and no one else got their feet stuck by the bone worms; the plastic shoes worked very well.

After walking for a while, everyone heard a hissing sound and their bodies trembled slightly.

"Did you hear a hissing sound? It sounds like a snake flicking its tongue."

"I heard it, it was the sound of a snake. The sound seemed to be layered together, making it particularly loud. According to the living habits of snakes, they should make very soft sounds so that no one can hear them."

"There won't be a bunch of snakes ahead, will there? Or those three-headed snake monsters?"

...

As the sound of the snake flicking its red tongue grew louder, the fear in the hearts of the Ye family members intensified.

After walking some distance, they saw a scene they would never forget in their lifetime, a scene that would become an indelible shadow in the future.

Tens of thousands of three-headed snakes densely surrounded a large snake, which also had three heads.

The three heads were enormous, like a small mountain.

The three-headed serpent is about three meters long and weighs about one ton.

Given the enormous size of the three-headed serpent, the smaller three-headed serpents are likely its descendants.

As soon as the Ye family entered the dense forest, they discovered the three-headed snake.

They never expected that there would be a group of three-headed snakes ahead, and among the snakes was a huge creature.

Not long after the island appeared in the Ye family's underground city, it became so rich in resources.

"How could there be such a huge snake? I never believed it when people said that snakes could swallow elephants, until I saw this three-headed snake king."

"The three-headed serpent king has three heads, and each head can swallow an elephant. It can swallow three elephants in one go."

"There are only a dozen or so of us here, probably not even enough to fill the three-headed hydra king's teeth."

...

As everyone couldn't help but discuss the three-headed snake, the swarm of three-headed snakes noticed them.

Several smaller three-headed snakes were trampled to death by the crowd.

The dead three-headed snake emitted a unique bloody smell, which immediately attracted a swarm of three-headed snakes.

"Fire! Use the bombs!"

Lin Luo couldn't control the fact that the fire wouldn't start; if it continued, everyone would die.

The number of three-headed serpents was too great, and the danger level of the three-headed serpent king had exceeded that of the mutated monster that Zhang Lei had transformed into.

"Da da da!"

Machine guns roared, accompanied by the sound of bombs.

Countless three-headed serpents died in the gunfire and lay scattered on the ground.

The three-headed giant serpent, which had fallen into a deep sleep, was awakened by the sound of gunfire and immediately received special attention from the Ye family.

The forest caught fire, and flames roared up.

"Let's leave here."

At Lin Luo's command, the Ye family members abandoned the fight and fled immediately.

The dozen or so people he brought here were all elites from the Ye family.

Both in terms of on-the-spot ability and mental fortitude, they are among the best in the Ye family.
