Chapter 44 - The System's Second Level Up and Strengthening

Roar, roar, roar!

The battle in the Red Zone continued.

The two groups of giant mutated beasts attacked each other incessantly, and with each moment that passed, many lives were lost

However, at this moment, Ye Bei didn't care about these things.

The moment he gulped down the flesh of the Reticulated Python…

The eight Blood Pythons—Spring, Flower, Autumn, Moon, Pursuing, Joy, Making, and Merry—all looked at Ye Bei with envious expressions. However, soon after, the envious looks on their faces turned into shock and fear. This was because, in their eyes, Ye Bei's transformation was incredibly shocking.

Creak, crack, creak…

His body was rapidly expanding, and the rubble, rotten wood, and leaves on the ground creaked incessantly beneath his weight.

Layers and layers of white snakeskin were peeling away from his body… He had shed at least three layers of skin in less than two seconds.

Ye Bei looked like he was being wrapped up in the layers of white snakeskin.

Furthermore, Ye Bei's aura was changing. He was becoming more powerful…

The air gradually grew colder.

Even though the eight snakes were Ye Bei's loyal subordinates, they couldn't help but tremble when they sensed the powerful energy radiating from him.

As for Ye Bei himself...

His eyes widened the moment the piece of Reticulated Python flesh entered his mouth…

It was just a two-meter-long piece of meat. However, the meat was immediately converted into the purest form of energy the moment it entered Ye Bei's mouth and spread throughout his body… Then, Ye Bei felt as though he could clearly sense the rapid genetic changes in his body.

His genetic sequence was being torn apart bit by bit.

Then, it was reconstructed by the pure energy that entered his body.

With every reassembly, a power that was terrifying to the extreme would burst forth. That power then moved along his body's gene sequence and spread into his cells, before coursing through his entire body, filling him with an eruptive, threatening power.

There was no pain.

There was only an exquisite, unprecedented feeling of comfort.

This feeling of comfort made Ye Bei hope that it would envelop him forever.

Other than these sensations, the system's voice constantly rang out in his head.

"Host, you have consumed the flesh of the Reticulated Python and have received 1000 evolution points!'

"Host, you have devoured the genes of a python of the same species. Your body has undergone genetic strengthening. Your genes will surpass those of a Blood Python, and you'll undergo transformation at a deeper level."

"Your system is leveling up!"

"System leveling up 10%..."

"System leveling up 20%..."

That's right. By the end of the process, the system immediately started to level up. Even though Ye Bei, who was in the middle of a modification, was a little caught off guard, he was extremely excited.

The last time the system had leveled up, it had gained many more useful functions.

And, Ye Bei could clearly sense that this upgrade was more "serious" than the last time.

Time passed very quickly.

In the distance, the battle had already gone on for more than three hours. The sky had turned dark. The entire swamp was covered with corpses, yet the battle showed no signs of stopping. Both sides would continue their merciless attack until not even one creature was left.

As for the python king and the crocodile king, although physically they were vastly different, the crocodile king's strength was still extremely terrifying.

Three hours later, the python king was covered in blood, while the crocodile king was even more tightly ensnared. Its eyeballs looked like they were about to squeeze out of their sockets… However, it had no intention of loosening its bite. Instead, it clamped down even tighter with its jaws.

These three hours had given Ye Bei a perfect evolution experience.

When he had first entered the area, his body was just eight meters long, but now, his body reached 15 meters long. It had grown explosively by seven meters!

And his girth had reached 50 centimeters!

The sharp, venomous fangs in his mouth, as well as the two rows of white teeth, seemed like they could pulverize even iron boards.

After completing the evolution, Ye Bei didn't have the chance to enjoy his new body, because the system had also finished leveling up.

While he lay on the ground...

In front of Ye Bei's eyes, the fluorescent screens that only he could see were lit up again.

Quest: Evolve to become a Titan Python and convert the entire island into your new territory.

This was Ye Bei's newest information panel.

When he saw this information, Ye Bei immediately noticed the areas that had been changed.

First, his species… after devouring a piece of Reticulated Python flesh, he had become a completely new species of python, a Blood Reticulated Python. This was definitely a surprise. If he were to explain this simply, according to a standard system, this was equivalent to finding a hidden task that had never been hinted at by the system before.

Besides for that, he had also advanced to Level Two. If he remembered correctly, according to what the system had told him in the past, he had to transform on the genetic level if he wanted to advance in level! It was just that from the beginning, Ye Bei understood that he had to evolve to become a Titan Python, but didn't know what that entailed… In actuality, devouring other species of giant python was enough to change him on a genetic level and give him a level upgrade. The system seemed to have hidden this from him.

Also, his stats had also received a huge boost.

In fact, most of his stats had doubled.

The only thing that depressed Ye Bei was that he had to go through three more stages before he could evolve from a Blood Reticulated Python into a Titan Python. He was currently only in the first stage, which meant that he was now much further away from becoming a Titan Python. However, when he thought about how he would achieve an even more complete transformation when he truly became a Titan Python in the future, Ye Bei felt that the transformation he'd just gone through was completely necessary.

"This feels really great! If I swallow all of the crocodiles and Reticulated Pythons here, the first stage of evolution will be a piece of cake."

When he saw his newest updates...

Ye Bei, who had been completely motionless because of the evolution, finally slowly opened his eyes.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, a powerful, terrifying aura manically surged out of his body...

The mutated Reticulated Python king and mutated crocodile king, who were locked in combat with each other a distance away, both stopped what they were doing and looked in Ye Bei's direction.
