The night was quite friendly to certain Beastmen, like Shadow Cats, Shadow Felids, and the current Snake-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Superpower User had hidden very well, hardly detectable by the naked eye, but the heat he emitted was like a bright beacon in the night to the Snake-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, the majority of the special operations forces didn’t have night vision, and the infrared detection equipment they wore was significantly less effective against the Snake-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of visibility, the human side was clearly at a disadvantage, outmaneuvered while exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big operation to lure the snakes out of their den tonight might not go as smoothly as anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yunlong and the others’ expressions changed slightly.

Judging from the break in the tail, if the shot had aimed for the heart or head, it could have been a fatal hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sniper only shot the snake tail, then retracted the gun, indicating no intention of stealing the kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, we should get acquainted later; he did help us out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three quickly advanced and chopped off the Snake-man’s head with a blade while it gazed in terror and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene was captured by the recorder on their chests.
