The university where Su Yie was located was called White Bridge University, which had the feel of a top-tier school, with over thirty thousand students and nearly forty thousand people including the teachers and staff.
The once prosperous White Bridge University had now turned into Hell, with the academic buildings in ruins, blood and body parts scattered everywhere — a scene of horror and terror.
At this moment, at the main gate of White Bridge University, a group of snakes slithered over — there were pythons as thick as water barrels and various venomous snakes, hundreds and thousands in number, crawling up the stone steps in front of the school gate.
Following behind the snakes was a figure — a man with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake, bare-chested, with snake scales draped over his chest, a cold expression on his face, and long hair cascading down his shoulders. His snake-like eyes were fixed ahead, filled with greed.
"I am the Crimson Blood Serpent King. Everyone inside, come out or I will devour you all!"
As the snake-bodied man entered White Bridge University, he spoke, his voice booming like thunder and ringing throughout the entire campus.
The Crimson Blood Serpent King!
The students, teachers, and staff hiding in academic buildings, dorms, offices, and the cafeteria were all terrified.
The fear from last night had just subsided, and today they faced an even more terrifying existence, plunging them into despair.
"The Snake King... Monster... A talking monster..."
"We're done... we're going to be eaten..."
"Where is he?"
"What do we do... who can save us?"
"Could it be that we've really traveled to the Ancient Wilderness?"
The people hiding everywhere whispered in terror and despair.
Meanwhile, Su Yie and Nan Xiao Pao had just come downstairs; they were preparing to find some food.
After gaining the Strength of One Dragon, Su Yie's appetite had greatly increased, and he had eaten all the snacks in the dormitory in one breath, without feeling full, which left Nan Xiao Pao staring in disbelief.
"The Crimson Blood Serpent King? Sounds formidable... what should we do?"
Nan Xiao Pao asked nervously, arms crossed in front of her.
"It's fine, I'm here."
Su Yie smiled softly and then led Nan Xiao Pao into a supermarket within the school.
The surrounding passages and lawns were littered with bodies, including some snake corpses; people could explode with unimaginable ferocity when they were driven into a corner.
Su Yie grabbed the locked rolling shutter door and yanked, tearing off the metal sheet.
"Wow! You're so strong!"
Nan Xiao Pao was startled, a look of joy on her face; with Su Yie being so strong, she didn't have to be scared.
At the same time, she guessed in her heart—what exactly was Su Yie's identity?
Could he be like those protagonists in internet novels?
Entering the world with peerless cultivation, pretending to be weak while secretly being strong, and then romancing through the city?
Upon thinking this, Nan Xiao Pao's pretty face immediately turned sour, as if someone had stolen her beloved doll.
Inside the supermarket, two girls were hiding; upon hearing the rolling shutter being torn open, they screamed in fright.
Su Yie ignored them and went straight to the shelves, starting to eat; he swallowed down everything from bread to beef jerky.
By now, he was no longer a mere mortal, but a Half-Demon, possessing Dragon Force and an incredibly strong digestive capacity.
Nan Xiao Pao opened her backpack and began packing food, unaware that Su Yie had the Repository of the Dao, which could store countless items.
"All of you come out now! If you don't, I will let my snakes capture you and rip you to pieces! If you come out, you can live — as my slaves!"
The voice of the Crimson Blood Serpent King boomed again, striking fear into people's hearts but also igniting a glimmer of hope.
Being a slave to a monster was better than being eaten!
Thus, people began emerging from the buildings, cautiously searching for the Crimson Blood Serpent King.
The two girls in the supermarket were also hesitant, unsure whether to go out.
Eventually, they decided to venture out, not wanting to relive the terror of the previous night.
"Aren't you going to look for the Crimson Blood Serpent King?"
Seeing that Su Yie and Nan Xiao Pao had no intention of going out, one of the short-haired girls couldn't help but ask.
Su Yie didn't pay attention to them, and Nan Xiaopao smiled at them and said, "Hehe, we're really strong, don't be afraid of it!"
The two girls looked into each other's eyes, both seeing the confusion in them.
Could this girl have been frightened out of her wits?
Thinking this, they still couldn't help but feel scared, left the supermarket, and went to look for the Crimson Blood Demon King.
"Are you very strong?" Su Yie asked while eating, looking towards Nan Xiaopao.
"Hehe, can't I boast?" Nan Xiaopao stuck out her tongue at him, her face full of pride as she said, "Silly, as long as you're strong, that's enough."
Usually, she loved to call Su Yie a silly guy, obviously because she felt bitter that Su Yie couldn't understand her girlish heart.
"I will throw you into the belly of the snakes."
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Just watch if I dare!"
"Hmph, if you dare, you won't have a wife!"
"Pfft...are you being so brazen now?"
"Nonsense, it's the apocalypse, and who knows if I'll die tomorrow, I have to be bold, otherwise I won't die content."
"Ptui!"
The two of them gathered food and bickered like sworn enemies.
Half an hour later.
On the square behind the front gate of White Bridge University, thousands of people stood together, most of them wounded, all looking fearfully at the Crimson Blood Serpent King and the horde of snakes behind him.
Overnight, nearly forty thousand people had been reduced to just a few thousand, a testament to the devastating losses.
"Has everyone come out?"
The Crimson Blood Serpent King asked nonchalantly, his snakelike eyes sweeping over them, with no one daring to meet his gaze.
The elderly principal, trembling, stepped forward and said, "Everyone is here, just don't kill us, and we'll do anything."
He wasn't trying to cling to life, he was trying to fight for his students.
"Is that so?"
The Crimson Blood Serpent King seemed thoughtful, then he revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
"This king's belly is a bit hungry, desires to eat humans. Send ten people over for this king to eat, or this king will eat all of you!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the thousands changed drastically, with the principal so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
The Crimson Blood Serpent King was clearly attacking their morale; no one wanted to be eaten, and if they really forced ten people out, the rest would live forever in guilt.
"Quickly! This king does not have patience!"
The Crimson Blood Serpent King said impatiently, as the horde of snakes behind him hissed in unison, resounding through the entire White Bridge University.
Everyone fell into despair.
"It's over..."
The principal muttered with a pale face, the thousands of people behind him all bowing their heads, no one daring to step forward.
Su Yie's advisor, Li Fei, was quietly retreating, shrinking back into the crowd.
"What to do..."
"Damn it..."
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Who wants to die? It's better for ten people to die than for thousands!"
The students began to argue among themselves, while the teachers all fell into silence; they were all teachers, so the students probably wouldn't push them forward. Now, only by remaining silent could they survive.
Meanwhile, a hundred meters away on a corridor, Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao walked along.
Nan Xiaopao hid behind Su Yie, her face full of fear as she asked, "Do we really have to go?"
"Yes, I want to kill him to cultivate," Su Yie said calmly.
