Snakes

Plants also need to breathe.

Without light, plants not only fail to absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, but they also consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide through respiration.

This is knowledge that even junior high school students know.

Giorno immediately understood Fugo's intention and instead ordered Gold Experience to punch, causing a large number of plants to grow.

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air increased dramatically, and the trace amounts of carbon dioxide they produced when they breathed were quickly masked by the surrounding plants.

"It's a success!"

Narancia confirmed this in a timely manner using the CO2 detection capabilities of the Aerosmith:

"The carbon dioxide concentration has been disrupted, and the enemy's fake planes can no longer lock onto us."

The situation was just as Narancia had expected.

In complete darkness and without the ability to locate itself using carbon dioxide concentration, the pirated "Aerosmith James" was no longer able to deliver the same precise fire suppression as before.

Now it hovers aimlessly in mid-air like a headless fly that has lost its sight, and the barrage of bullets that had been so intense that it had made it difficult to fight has finally stopped.

In the darkness, no one could see anyone else, giving Giorno and the others a temporary respite.

"A very clever idea."

Jamie's laughter echoed from the darkness:

"But don't get too excited, my attack has only just begun."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a faint whistling wind of a fist came from the pitch-black darkness.

The phantom-like Riot Games slammed against the wall, producing a series of booming sounds like drums.

"Careful!"

"He has probably created something dangerous."

Giorno immediately reminded him.

Although you can't see anything clearly, you can tell from the sound alone that the pirated "Silver Experience" must have something new up its sleeve.

"Um."

Everyone nodded cautiously.

Long-range bullet attacks were largely ineffective against the enemy, and with everything pitch black around them, they dared not venture into close combat.

Because, as Jamie said, the power of the Gold Experience is very interesting.

Creating life is a power with limitless potential. Even with the best minds, Fugo and his crew couldn't predict what strange biological weapons their enemies would use that power to create.

And so, the two sides stood cautiously facing each other in the darkness for a few seconds.

Then, as the enemy's "Silver Experience" punches ceased, a faint rustling sound came from the endless darkness.

The sound was like a light drizzle falling on a spring night, almost imperceptible, yet upon closer listening, it was a dense, continuous patter that seemed to envelop the entire world.

The floor in this toilet had just been cleaned not long ago.

It's likely that the cleaning staff weren't doing their job properly, because there are still large patches of water on the ground, deep enough to submerge shoes, mixed with a lot of disinfectant toilet cleaner.

Then, after that rustling sound...

Then, a soft, clear sound of water rippling gently came from the floor.

The sound of these large objects stirring up the water was very clear, allowing Giorno and the others to promptly realize the danger:

Something is crawling down the floor.

"And judging from the sound, there seem to be a lot of them. A lot of them."

Mista repeated "a lot" twice because he instinctively felt a chill that gave him goosebumps.

In order to figure out what the other side's so-called attack method was, he tentatively turned his gun and fired a test shot at the ground.

Gunshots rang out, and sparks flew from the muzzle.

The firelight temporarily served as a means of illumination, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark space.

Then, in this light, the dense creatures that had spread from the floor finally revealed their true forms:

"Snake!"

Mista's expression instantly turned ugly:

A few snakes certainly wouldn't scare this tough guy from the underworld, even if those snakes were venomous.

However, what was attacking him now was not just a few simple snakes, but a dense sea of snakes.

The venomous snakes intertwined and swarmed towards them like a tide in the ocean.

"Aaaaaah!"

Seeing this scene from a horror movie come to life, Mista jumped back in a panic.

However, no matter how far he retreated, it was no use against those venomous snakes that were flicking their tongues.

These venomous snakes are not only numerous, but their speed is also comparable to that of humans.

Upon sensing the presence of prey ahead, they immediately wriggled excitedly and pounced down the wet ground.

"Purple Haze!"

Fugo promptly had his stand-in take over.

Purple Haze immediately released the killer virus from the Fist Bone Capsule, creating a wall of poisonous mist in front of the sea of snakes.

A killer virus can kill people, and of course it can kill snakes too.

Fugo wanted to use this method to deal with the venomous snakes and protect himself and his companions from attacks.

However..

"Ha ha ha ha."

As if he had anticipated that Fugo would try to stop him in this way, Jamie's laughter rang out from the darkness at just the right moment:

"Oh, by the way, I just wanted to tell you something:"

"These venomous snakes were all bred from the 'Yellow Haze' toxic mist, and consequently, they naturally possess immunity to the mist."

"If you want to poison them, then don't waste your energy!"

The so-called "Yellow Haze" is just a reskinned and pirated version of Purple Haze.

It possesses the exact same abilities as Purple Haze, and even the components of its killer virus are identical.

"Damn it."

Fugo truly experienced the harm of piracy:

"That guy not only copied our Stand, but he also learned Giorno's method of making antiviral serum!"

"What can we do? We can't stop them at all!"

The venomous snake attacked very quickly.

With speeds far exceeding those of humans, they twisted their bodies, extended their fangs, and pounced towards Giorno and the others in front.

The poisonous mist of Purple Haze could not stop them at all, and their speed was too fast for anyone to escape.

The Gold Experience began trying to encourage plants to grow and build a tree wall, but the trees couldn't keep up with the speed of the snakes' advance.

Some of them peeked out from the gaps in the plants, some climbed over the tree canopy, and some simply clung to the toilet wall and climbed over.

These snakes are like flowing water; if you're not careful, they can seep in from somewhere.

"Purple Haze!"

"Gold Experience!"

"Moody Blues!"

Three humanoid stand-ins stood at the front row, fighting against the swarm of snakes with their bodies.

Snakes are no match for stand-ins, but stand-ins also have a hard time stopping swarms of snakes.

Despite the three humanoid Stands' best efforts to block them, many venomous snakes bypassed this fragile defense and pounced on Giorno and the others' main bodies to bite.

"Aerosmith!"

"Sex Pistols!"

Mista and Narancia began to unleash a barrage of ammunition, finally managing to kill several venomous snakes that lunged at them.

But this only provided temporary relief. The venomous snakes, alerted by the gunfire, intensified their attack, charging forward frantically.

If this continues, that makeshift defense line will soon collapse.

Giorno?

"Quickly use your Gold Experience to think of a solution!"

Mista called out to Giorno somewhat anxiously:

"Since the other party created these venomous snakes using abilities copied from yours, you should have a way to do it too!"

"I"

Giorno sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice:

"Although I feel somewhat ashamed, I have to admit that that guy's use of Gold Experience ability is definitely no less than mine."

"Especially this trick now, even I don't know how to do it."

In order to brainstorm and come up with a solution as quickly as possible, he shared his doubts with everyone:

"I can create these venomous snakes too."

"However, I don't understand why the animals created by the Gold Experience have self-awareness and that I can't completely control them."

"I never use such tactics because these venomous snakes can easily end up hurting themselves."

But now

Giorno said, puzzled:

"Why are the snakes only attacking us and not Jamie?"
