Hiss hiss…
His gigantic body pressed heavily against the ground, causing a constant rustling noise when it came in contact with the decomposing leaves.
Three kilometers was still a far distance away.
While moving, Ye Bei quickly concealed his intent to kill…
Along the way, he mercilessly gobbled up any creature that caught his eye.
By the time he traveled a kilometer…
…his Evolution Points totaled 38000.
When he passed two kilometers…
…his Evolution Points totaled 40000.
All the same…because he stopped to acquire points along the way, his speed decreased significantly. It took him more than 20 minutes to cover the three-kilometer distance!
Hiss hiss hiss…
Hiss hiss hiss!
When he was about to reach the snakes' den, the sound of hissing, created by the snakes' forked tongues, reached his ears.
However, despite arriving at the scene, Ye Bei didn't immediately rush over.
Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings.
This was evidently a huge swamp.
Low-lying shrubs covered the entire area… They were curvy and crooked, and they looked exactly like snakes.
Howl howl…
Even before he'd gotten close, Ye Bei could feel the gusts of cold breaths coming from the shrubs. If he were a normal animal and had sensed those breaths, he probably would have run far, far away. He certainly wouldn't have dared to take another step forward.
The place was dark and silent, and the smell of death permeated the air.
"Is this the Blood Pythons' den? What a weird place this is…"
Ye Bei stood to the side, with the upper half of his body erect, and whispered to himself as he stared at the swamp.
Just as he was debating with himself whether or not to enter the marsh, a rustling sound reached his ears. Then, his eyes widened.
It was the language of the snakes!
Moreover, Ye Bei, who had acquired the ability to communicate in the regional language, could perfectly understand what the snakes were saying.
"It's so frightening! Did you know that just two hours ago, the humans attacked our race?"
"The weapons they used were so advanced! In one swoop, they killed Tu and captured Sha."
"What are we going to do?"
"Let's go to war! They should pay the price for daring to enter this domain."
"I have no objections!"
"These humans all deserve to die!"
Hiss hiss hiss…
These sounds were nothing more than hisses. But Ye Bei was special. Once his brain processed the sounds, the hisses meant something completely different.
At first, listening to the snakes' hisses, Ye Bei was incredulous.
Firstly, these snakes were able to think like humans and speak clearly and intelligently! Plus, the snakes had names too, although they were somewhat weird. One was called Tu, and another was called Sha.
But what was most incredible was the fact that these snakes had fought with humans before. Moreover… based on their conversation, Ye Bei could confidently say that there were indeed humans on this island, and that they had brought some powerful weapons with them!
For Ye Bei, this news was indeed earth-shattering.
After all, when Ye Bei had experienced his rebirth, he was certain that there weren't any humans on this island.
The plants and animals on this island were all extremely bizarre and very aggressive. Humans couldn't survive in such an environment.
All the same, this news made Ye Bei cautious. He had once been a human in the past, so he was naturally aware of how corrupt humans could be. Now that his body had completely evolved beyond the natural scope of a Blood Python, if the humans found out about him, they would capture him at all costs.
Given the limitations of his current build, he knew he wasn't powerful enough to fight against the humans' heavy weapons.
From the looks of it…
He had to keep growing stronger!
After arriving at this conclusion, Ye Bei started to move his body again and decisively headed into the shrubbery.
…And into the shrubbery he went.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't all shrubs. It was merely an area that was surrounded by shrubs on all sides.
In the middle of the area were some huge rocks.
If a human were to see what was happening… his legs would have turned to jelly right then and there, because the situation inside was absolutely terrifying.
Countless black and red pythons were entangled with each other on the rocks.
They were densely packed… vertically, horizontally, diagonally, in all directions!
All of them had the lower halves of their bodies coiled on the ground while their upper halves stood tall and erect.
Their bright-red forked tongues repeatedly poked out of their mouths.
There was a faint metallic, fishy scent in the air, carrying along with it a predatory aura.
And right in the middle of the snakes, a Blood Python, approximately four meters in length, stood upright. If Ye Bei wasn't mistaken, this was the leader of this snake colony.
"As it is, we have a good grasp of the human's movements! We will declare war on them tonight… All of them will have to pay a dear price for provoking our snake clan," the Snake King declared coldly, his forked tongue repeatedly poking out of his mouth.
Slither slither…
At that very moment, Ye Bei finally made his entrance.
With his head held high, he observed the snakes carefully. When the Snake King was talking, all the pythons around him were completely silent.
Because he had concealed his murderous aura, even when Ye Bei appeared beside them, the snakes didn't react.
"You said… that you have a good grasp of the human's movements? Since that's the case, you must be very familiar with this whole island! Starting today, I'm taking command of this snake colony. I will be your new king! I'll think of a way to deal with the humans," Ye Bei declared unhurriedly.
Hiss hiss…
It was the hiss of the Snake Tongue.
The snake colony had been very quiet when the Snake King was speaking.
Hence, when Ye Bei announced his intentions aloud, all the Blood Pythons heard him loud and clear.
Whirl whirl whirl…
The next second, all the snakes whirled their heads around to look in Ye Bei's direction.
There were more than 300 snakes.
In the darkness of the night, their bright red eyes radiated a cold light.
Coiled in the middle, the Snake King gave Ye Bei a murderous glare.
However, despite the circumstances, Ye Bei nevertheless slowly made his way over to the Snake King in an unhurried fashion…
