"Humph! Don't compare me with such an inferior snake. This great one is feared by both Gods and Devils alike!"
While thinking that it was a bit weird to hear human words exiting the mouth of such a huge snake, Yang Shen said, "In that case do tell how the great one was sealed here."
"....Humph!"
Snorting coldly once again, the snake seemingly ignored Yang Shen and looked towards the clear sky through the eyes which were overflowing with happiness and freedom.
Opening its jaws wide, the snake before Yang Shen could react began sucking in the air around it without holding back at all.
Looking like a vacuum cleaner as it sucked in all the air around it, the snake didn't show any signs of stopping as Yang Shen realized that it was actually sucking in Qi.
But… wouldn't sucking in so much Qi give it a stomach ache?
Spotting the stomach of the snake which was already bulging and growing bigger by the second, Yang Shen finally saw the last part of the snake exit the cave.
One hundred and fifty…
150…
Feet…
Feeling his scalp turning numb and tingling as he saw how big the pitch black snake was, Yang Shen unconsciously took a step back while refusing to imagine what would have happened if he had entered the cave.
Gulping hard as the snake finally stopped swallowing the Qi around it, Yang Shen who could no longer sense any Qi around him understood why the quantity in Qi kept on decreasing as he climbed higher up the mountain.
This greedy snake must have swallowed as much Qi as possible through the sealing array.
Eyes turning a little wide as the bulging stomach disappeared in an instant the same way a balloon would deflate after a hole was created, Yang Shen couldn't control his emotions before the snake noticed it.
"Now do you know why my Heaven Devouring Race is feared so much?"
Nodding his head unconsciously, Yang Shen despite not even having heard the name of the race she spoke before today could understand why it would be feared.
After all, if one could grow stronger simply by breathing in Qi, who wouldn't fear them?
It was too bad that Yang Shen was yet to learn the true terrifying capabilities of the Heaven Devouring Snakes.
For example, not just the raw Qi by itself, but the Heaven Devouring Snakes could swallow anything which even remotely possessed Qi and use it to grow stronger.
Treasures, herbs, pills, artifacts, cultivators, and so on.
In short, Heaven Devouring Snakes were the same as a living cultivation system which turned everything into XP.
Grinning and showing human emotions, the snake which seemed to be the embodiment of darkness approached Yang Shen.
Stretching its long tongue as it reached close to Yang Shen's head, the snake suddenly said, "You're not from there."
"Not from where?"
Not answering Yang Shen's question, who knew that he couldn't act like a mysterious expert, the snake suddenly began rapidly shrinking.
Turning into less than seven feet in the blink of an eye, the remainder of the snake didn't continue turning smaller and instead began changing the way it looked.
With supple white skin appearing on top of the black scales, half of the snake's body turned into human.
Showing off a head full of silky long black hair which looked similar in color to the scales covering the lower half snake part of its body, the face of a woman who looked like a goddess came into Yang Shen's view.
Golden eyes, facial features which excluded a dangerous charm that attracted people despite knowing they shouldn't be, skin so white and smooth that not even jade could compare with it.
A neck so beautiful that Yang Shen wanted to cover it in his kisses, snake scales covered pair of breasts which were bigger than the average melons yet stayed perfectly straight and didn't sag at all, and finally a waist so thin and attractive that no man would be able to part with it if they once hugged it.
All in all, the woman herself excluded an aura which made men want to be with her even if they knew they would die.
Feeling his lower part start reacting as soon as the half human part made an appearance, Yang Shen stayed rooted to the ground while the remaining half of the snake's body turned human as well.
Looking towards the pair of long beautiful legs since her ass and crotch were covered in black scales similar to her breasts, Yang Shen almost began drooling before finally regaining his senses.
Not bothering to hide the greedy desire he possessed towards the woman despite knowing that she was a snake, Yang Shen said, "You're lucky that I found you and saved you. Aren't you going to properly thank me?"
Rolling her eyes and looking very sexy as she did that, Lijuan asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you know about the Eight Trigrams Saint Seal and how did you break it?"
"So many questions. You are making me doubt who is the master between the two of us."
Smiling proudly as he approached the beauty, Yang Shen said, "Satisfy my curiosity first, then I'll think about answering your questions."
"Fine. Ask whatever you want. I'll answer anything as long as it isn't regarding the secrets of my race."
"Great! First question. Are you a virgin?"
