There was a huge mountain in the west of Lieyang City called the Red Dragon Blood Mountain. A long time ago, a red dragon had occupied this mountain and wreaked havoc.
At that time, the humans of Blazing Sun City had many conflicts with the red dragon. According to historical records, the humans won the final victory.
In order to kill this evil and powerful Red Dragon and its vassal army, the humans paid the price in blood. They sacrificed a Sword Saint, two Magical Tutors, and hundreds of Warrior Mages.
Tang Ning estimated that the Red Dragon Blood Mountain was about 800 meters above sea level. The mountain was mainly made of granite and there were many caves. There were five of them that were hidden and most of them were occupied by powerful magical beasts.
As she looked at the magical beasts with strong claws and armor, Tangning only dared to look at them from afar before avoiding them.
Originally, he had no hope for these caves. However, when he saw a two-headed magic snake in a small cave on the top of the mountain, his heart began to move.
There were two magic crystals in the body of the two-headed magic snake, one in each of its two heads. It could instantly cast two different types of intermediate magic, which was very difficult to deal with. Fortunately, it had a fatal weakness, which was that its scales were not thick, and its physical defense was low. If someone got close to it, it would be easy to be injured or even lose its life.
The cave was very deep and the straight tunnel seemed to have no end. If the snake wanted to escape, the only way out was to retreat along the tunnel. From there, Tangning could fight while maintaining a distance. No matter what, the snake would be under the threat of firearms. Plus, the rifle had an effective range of 200 meters, so he didn't have to worry about the snake's magic attacks hurting him. With such an advantageous position, it would be hard for him not to make a move.
He crouched down and approached the cave. When he was about 150 meters away from the cave, he equipped a magazine on his gun. The remaining five magazines were placed deep within his reach.
The two-headed snake was still lying lazily at the entrance of the cave, unaware of his approach.
He put the two-headed snake's head into the telescope and pulled the trigger.
The bullet spun and flew towards the snake. It was only when it was within three meters of the snake that the snake noticed it.
It only had time to raise a green vine in front of it. Unfortunately, the bullet had already flown past the distance where the vine rose and disappeared into the fork of the snake's head.
The demon snake hissed miserably, and another wind blade appeared where the vine rose.
It was a Two-Headed Magic Snake of the Wind and Wood Elements. Tangning pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The vines had sharp thorns that could paralyze the human body and bind the opponent's feet, causing them to temporarily lose their ability to move.
Wind blades were fast and powerful. With the wind element's wind blades and the wood element's vines, they could easily trap a high-level magical beast to death. No wonder the two-headed snake was able to survive on a mountain full of powerful beasts. If it hadn't met Tangning, any other magical beast would have had a hard time dealing with it.
After being hit by the second bullet, the Twin-headed Magic Snake finally figured out the source of the attack. It lowered its head and arched its body. A small whirlwind of the wind element caused its body to float up. With a bow and a flick of its body, it quickly jumped six to seven meters away.
Tang Ning was shocked and quickly retreated. However, as he did so, he pulled the trigger. In his hurry, he didn't have time to aim properly. Fortunately, the gap between the shots wasn't big. As the two-headed snake approached him, it had to move its body. The concentrated bullets could always hit the snake by accident, so his shots still caused a lot of damage to it.
With every bullet, the two-headed snake would pause for a moment. However, Tangning's bullets weren't endless. After every 10 rounds, he would need to reload a new magazine. He then casually threw the empty one on the ground.
Time was running out. As the two-headed magic snake was getting closer and closer, his nerves tensed up and his mind was highly focused. At this moment, he could only see the lens of the telescope and the vital parts of the two-headed magic snake.
After getting into the zone, Tangning displayed a level that was hard to imagine. With both sides in motion, he managed to hit 5 out of 10 bullets in a clip. However, his speed was no match for the Two-Headed Magic Snake. By the time he finished his second clip, 4 - 5 thorny vines appeared beneath his feet.
The Twin-headed Magic Snake was dripping with deep blue snake blood as it came to a distance of 30 meters in front of him.
He reloaded, aimed, and pulled the trigger. Everything became a conditioned reflex. The gun trembled slightly, and bullets flew out of the muzzle. Four or five wind blades caused blood to spurt out of his body. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep. It seemed that the two-headed magic snake was at the end of its rope.
Finally, the wind blades disappeared. However, Tangning continued to pull the trigger. Only after the magazine was emptied did he sit down on the ground and gasp for air.
After resting on the spot for a while, he stood up shakily. The wounds on his body were nothing, but there were small holes on his feet that were pierced by the vines. If the thorns on the vines were a little longer, the meridians in his feet might have been damaged. In this world that relied on martial arts to survive, it was not a good thing for his feet to be crippled.
He held his rifle flat and his binoculars were still on the Twin-headed Magic Snake. Slowly, he approached the Twin-headed Magic Snake.
Magic Snake didn't move. He reloaded the magazine as fast as he could.
The bullet hit the snake's body, but it did not react. It was only then that he believed that the snake was dead.
It was a blue wind-type magical crystal, a few levels higher than the one from the Hurricane Bird. It could be used to activate the magic array on the firing pin. It was a green magical crystal of the wood element. It was crystal clear and one could tell it was a high-quality item. Although it was worth a good price, Tangning did not want to sell it in Blazing Sun City. She did not want to attract attention again.
Snake meat was a delicacy, so he had no choice but to make a pot of snake meat soup himself.
He retrieved the two magazines that had been thrown on the ground and put some loose bullets into the magazines. This way, he had six more magazines for self-defense.
It was already late. He carefully bandaged himself and then entered the cave with his rifle. As it was already night, he did not dare to go too deep. He hugged the rifle and sat against the wall of the cave.
The three moons appeared in the sky above the Radiant Continent on time. The gentle moonlight illuminated the entire Red Dragon Blood Mountain. From time to time, a flock of demon birds would appear in the forest. In such a dark night, Tangning couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. At this moment, he felt like he was dreaming. There were many strange things in his dream, such as red-haired and green-eyed Westerners, elves with pointy ears, dwarves with long beards, etc. Everything felt so real.
When the sun rose in the east, Tangning knew she had endured another long night. The morning sun shone directly into the depths of the cave. Tangning pulled her binoculars closer to her eyes and discovered that the deepest part of the cave was a light red cliff. Other than some moss growing on the cliff, there were also piles of rubble.
He walked to the bottom of the cave to check the soil. The soil was not very hard. It was a good choice to bury the tempered purple pine and reed here. The cave was very hidden. If he planted some vines at the entrance of the cave, it would not take long to cover the entrance.
Vines as thick as bowls were scattered all over the mountain. Tangning randomly picked some and planted them on top of the cave. She also set up some traps along the path to the cave. He believed that as long as someone entered the cave, they would definitely destroy the traps he set up. Although these traps couldn't hurt people, they could tell him some information, information that would help him determine how well hidden the cave was.
This was Tangning, a person from Earth who struggled in this strange world filled with powerful enemies and magical beasts. A person who was careful with every step he took, as if he was treading on thin ice. In order to survive, he used all of his experience and wisdom.
After returning to the city, he rested for two whole days before his body recovered. In Orfa's blacksmith shop, he replenished a batch of brass bullets. Through the battle with the two-headed magic snake, he understood the principle that the more bullets, the better.
