On the beach.
There was plenty of sunshine.
Waves, forests, white clouds…
And also a giant python and large amounts of bloodstains on the ground.
"System, can you really not read the information inside this chip?"
The snake opened its eyes. With its forked tongue protruded, it emotionlessly asked the system this question.
Naturally, this snake was Ye Bei.
Because he was a human in a python's body, early on, Ye Bei had been a little resistant to killing people... However, the information he received from Wang Dong and the other 16 people, who had come to the island clandestinely, brought about a drastic change in his mindset.
"The system only provides effective help for the host's evolution! This kind of chip belongs to human beings... I can't decipher it. If you want it deciphered, I can keep the chip, and in the future, when I encounter humans, I can borrow their technology to decipher it."
"Very well, then. Hold onto the chip!" Ye Bei said coldly.
His voice dropped, and then, the chip fell onto the beach. A gust of sea breeze blew across the beach as the chip slowly faded away and then completely vanished.
If the people at the mercenary base were to see this, they would definitely be shocked.
An actual object fading away and vanishing…only a deity could do something like this.
As for Ye Bei, when he saw this, he was very composed. After all, other than being reborn as a snake, he even had a system in his body, so this kind of small trick wasn't really enough to amaze him in any way.
After he was done settling the issue of the chip...
Ye Bei laid on the beach and felt out his body, which had become stronger after he had eaten the 16 human beings.
He also started muttering to himself.
"16 human beings. That's 16,000 evolution points! At the moment, I have 470,000 evolution points. If I want to complete stage five of my evolution, alter my genes, and turn into a Titan Python, I still need 530,000 evolution points, which means I need to eat 53 more humans!"
"When I was swallowing those humans just now, they all had cameras on their bodies. If my guess is right, the mercenaries in the helicopters must have planted those cameras. In other words, if I continue to stay on this island, people will keep coming to my door."
"As of now, I still have enough room for evolution, but once I show my strength and let them know that it's impossible for them to defeat me with ordinary weapons—or in other words, make them fear me—they'll opt for destructive power."
"I'm afraid that I can't stay on this island for much longer!"
"During this time, I have to quickly complete the evolution at the genetic level and expand my python army in the meantime. Secondly, it's imperative for me to learn how to survive in the sea. Only then will it be possible for me to leave this island."
The wheels in Ye Bei's mind were turning rapidly.
But after thinking about all this, without a doubt, Ye Bei had a much clearer understanding of what he should do next.
After he was done thinking about this, Ye Bei slowly closed his eyes once again.
After swallowing 16 human beings in a row, and after his body converted all those humans into energy, he started to undergo tremendous changes once again.
The scorching energy moved quickly through his body.
Although he hadn't met the evolution point requirements... this didn't prevent his body from becoming even stronger.
Hiss hiss…
When he felt this scorching energy, his body, which was stretched out across the beach, grew once again.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, a layer of snakeskin half a centimeter thick peeled off his body. His body, which originally looked very smooth, looked entirely different after this large layer of snakeskin was removed. It dazzled beneath the sun as if it had razor-sharp scales.
But if one were to touch it with his hands, he'd find that the bright scales were merely snake patterns that had become more compact and real.
Aside from the changes to his skin…
His body had grown a whole 50 centimeters in length.
The current Ye Bei was now a terrifying eight meters long...but his body was still 35 centimeters in diameter. This change made Ye Bei look a lot more nimble, and it made him feel less clumsy.
Of course, these changes were all just secondary.
The biggest change took place in another part of his body.
As the evolution slowly completed itself, Ye Bei simply couldn't endure it any longer. Feeling something strange in his mouth, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Unbelievable! I think I grew some teeth…"
Yes, 16 humans, 160,000 evolution points…had given Ye Bei a set of razor-sharp teeth. However, the teeth weren't proportional to Ye Bei's body. Each tooth was less than 2 centimeters long.
Likewise, the two cobra fangs at the corners of his mouth had become more powerful after this recent evolution.
These white, sharp fangs shone with a dazzling luster under the sun...and looked as if they could even bite through a steel plate.
"Snakes swallow their food! In the past, to be honest, I really felt unaccustomed to eating food this way, and I'd usually instinctively bite my food like a human! Now that I have this set of teeth, things will be a lot easier."
Without a doubt, to Ye Bei, gaining a set of teeth from this evolution was something worth celebrating.
Time went by swiftly.
Six hours later, the sun gradually headed west.
The skies slowly dimmed. After Ye Bei grew acquainted with his newly improved body, rustle... He turned around. He quickly slithered toward the forest, his body making a rustling noise as it rubbed against the beach.
Devour, evolution!
Constantly devouring creatures for evolution…
He was still 530,000 points away from becoming a Titan Python… And he, Ye Bei, must complete his evolution before the next mercenary group arrived on this island.
When Ye Bai returned to the forest...
He sensed that great changes had taken place in the jungle of the green zone.
The eight pythons—Spring, Flower, Autumn, Moon, Pursuing, Joy, Making, and Merry—were maniacally searching for food in the green zone, as per Ye Bei's orders. Starting from the snake base as the center, after more than six hours of hunting, these pythons had devoured almost every living creature present.
Ye Bei, who had returned to the forest, immediately sensed this situation through the power of the domain.
However…such an outcome made Ye Bei's eyes turn deathly cold.
"Spring, Flower, Autumn, Moon, Pursuing, Joy, Making, and Merry, return to the snake base at once!" Ye Bei barked, sticking out his forked tongue.
He opened his mouth slightly, exposing a set of white, razor-sharp teeth. If anyone were to see this, they would definitely be stupefied.
F*cking hell!
Nevermind the fact that as a Blood Python, he was incredibly huge, but now, he was a Blood Python with friggin' teeth in his mouth?
Fine, then. The fangs weren't really the problem… But why did he have to end up with a bloody set of human teeth?
This snake…was truly one of a kind!
