Chapter 40

In the Snake Base.

Like before, there were giant stones everywhere.

It was already afternoon… rays of sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the leaves overhead and scattered among the bushes.

After a day of drying, the originally bright-red bloodstains on the stones were now a dull black.

Occasionally, a sea breeze swept through the forest, and it would also carry away with it the strong scent of blood.

“A group of more than 300 snakes, all dead! This jungle really encapsulates the jungle law of ‘eat or be eaten.’ In order to survive, in order to evolve… if you don’t want to die, then the other creatures must die!”

Inside the base, Ye Bei was perched on a huge rock, muttering to himself, his forked tongue protruding from his mouth.

Rustling…

In the Green Zone, Ye Bei issued orders to the eight pythons, who were all in different areas. Although he wasn’t loud, with the aid of the domain, his commands rang loudly in the pythons’ ears.

And then… the eight Blood Pythons squirmed in haste and moved in the direction of the snake base as fast as they could.

Ten minutes later!

The eight Blood Pythons returned to the snake base.

When these eight Blood Pythons saw Ye Bei’s changed appearance, they all froze to the spot, stunned.

In just a few hours, their king had become even more powerful than before, and his strength had become unpredictable and otherwordly.

In the eyes of the female snakes, Spring, Flower, Autumn, and Moon, Ye Bei was even more handsome than before.

As for Ye Bei…

When he saw that the Blood Pythons had come back, he slowly opened his eyes, which slightly brightened in spite of himself when he looked at the pythons. At that moment, the little bit of anger he’d felt before completely vanished without a trace.

Because…

In the past few hours, these Blood Pythons had all undergone massive changes after devouring all the living creatures inside the Green Zone.

Each Blood Python had grown to a length of five meters.

In addition… the four female Blood Pythons—Spring, Flower, Autumn, and Moon—were evidently much thicker in diameter than Pursuing, Joy, Making, and Merry.

The power radiating from their bodies was several times more powerful than when he’d left that morning.

These snakes were all his, Ye Bei’s, loyal subordinates. They would never, ever betray him. Naturally, seeing that they had all become incredibly powerful, Ye Bei didn’t have anything against them.

Looking at the eight Blood Pythons, Ye Bei said coldly, “We’ve devoured all the living creatures in this area! If we want to evolve, we must invade the other areas. Besides, we have to expand our clan! …We’re all Blood Pythons, but in my opinion, all snakes belong to our clan. Hence, in our subsequent expansion and infiltration, I’ll allow each and every one of you to expand your own forces! As long as they’re snakes, regardless of their species, you can make all of them your subordinates. I believe all of you should have no problem in doing this. Am I right?”

His ultimate goal was to go back to the world of the humans… take back what was his, and at the same time, kill those d*mnable people.

Since the plan was already decided, he had to execute it with great strength and vigor.

Try imagining this: how interesting would it be to see millions, or even tens of millions of snakes, swarming into the world of human beings?

While Ye Bei talked about his plans for the colony, the eight Blood Pythons stared fixedly at him.

When they saw the set of neat, razor-sharp teeth in Ye Bei’s mouth, deep down, these eight pythons were shocked!

“Yes, My King!”

“My King, it can be done!” one of the eight pythons said, sticking out his forked tongue. “But it’s been said that there are lots of mutated beasts in a certain region! There’s also a group of snakes among them. What’s more, each of them is more than 10 meters long…”

Hmm?

Ye Bei, who was planning to invade other areas, was startled when he heard this.

In this jungle, there were actually snakes over ten meters long…

It has to be said that Ye Bei himself was only eight meters long!

However, for Ye Bei, this was undoubtedly great news.

Snakes devouring snakes…

In terms of genetic evolution, snake genes were more suitable than human genes when it came to growing stronger.

Ye Bei took a deep breath before asking the Blood Python, “Where did you hear that from?” His eyes were shining unrelentingly…

“During our last king’s reign,” the Blood Python continued, “there was one time where I accidentally ventured into another area. It just so happened that I spotted a giant python slithering past me. I’m guessing that because I was one of his kind, he didn’t attack me back then! But never in my life will I forget that colossal body of his.”

As for Ye Bei, after listening to this Blood Python’s account, he immediately confirmed the python was telling the truth.

Firstly, these Blood Pythons weren’t bold enough to deceive him. After all, they were under his control.

Secondly… according to the map he’d taken from the mercenary group, this island was divided into four areas. Among them, there was the Red Zone, which was full of mutated beasts. This area was the mutants’ playground. Since beasts could mutate, there was no reason why snakes couldn’t.

After pondering all this for a few seconds, Ye Bei said solemnly, “Good! In that case… next, we’ll go to the area where the mutants live. If there really are pythons over ten meters long, we’ll subdue them, make them our subordinates, and in the future, use them as our clan’s core fighting power.

The eight Blood Pythons stuck out their forked tongues and hissed. Evidently, seeing how confident their king was, each of them was full of excitement and fighting spirit.

Even if the pythons really were ten meters long, so what?

When it came to controlling others with one’s mind, these eight Blood Pythons had no doubts about Ye Bei’s ability.

Ye Bei didn’t feel the slightest bit hesitant…

The eight Blood Pythons had devoured all the living creatures in the Green Zone. If he wanted to evolve quickly, the best course of action was to devour some mutated beasts, and the island’s Red Zone was undoubtedly the best option for this purpose.

Ye Bei was at the forefront.

The eight Blood Pythons sat on either side of him.

Nine Blood Pythons were advancing rapidly through the forest… cold killing intent radiated from their bodies.

But at that moment, something else was taking place in the Red Zone.

More than a hundred giant pythons… were battling a group of mutated crocodiles!

It was a bloodbath!!!
