Seeing that a black giant snake was coiled around Wang Tao but not attacking, everyone was confused but remained vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, it won’t attack us…,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao spoke, patting the head of the black snake, which flicked its tongue and licked his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Wang Tao pulled the black snake off himself. The snake showed no signs of aggression and seemed very well-behaved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation after the snake egg hatched was different from what Wang Tao had imagined. He thought it would be a monster, but now it seemed like a monster that was more like a… pet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP: 100000\u002F100000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mana: 100000\u002F100000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Grade: Level 4 – Elite]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After interacting with the black snake, Wang Tao faintly sensed its location, a feeling somewhat like a weakened version of a Perception Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, when Wang Tao tried communicating with the snake in his mind, it seemed to really hear and understand him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao told it to coil up by itself, and it tilted its head to look at him, then actually coiled into a heap on the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the black snake could understand Wang Tao’s words, it seemed unable to express its own thoughts, so Wang Tao could only communicate one-way. He couldn’t have a conversation like Ding Yuqin could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, this ability to communicate with the black snake was still very impressive. It felt a bit like controlling a [Night Demon Type I], but the [Night Demon Type I] was rather dull, while this black snake was somewhat more clever…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is pretty interesting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao shared his findings with everyone, and they were all amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, it’s essentially your pet now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yuqin asked, slightly scared but also excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people naturally feel terrified of cold-blooded animals like snakes, especially women. Even though Ding Yuqin and the others had reaches Level 3 strength, they were still somewhat uneasy seeing a snake, let alone one that was at Level 4 and stronger than them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, it should be. I think this might be because I used my life energy to hatch it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao petted the black snake’s head, and it rubbed against his palm, showing great affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao felt it must be somewhat intelligent; from the moment it hatched, it hadn’t attacked anyone. It seemed to know that these people were all friends of Wang Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone was sure the black snake wouldn’t attack them, they all came closer. Someone even touched it; its body was cold, feeling entirely different from touching Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning came over to Wang Tao’s side, watching the black snake warily, as if ready to pounce at Wang Tao’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao chuckled and ruffled Lightning’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Wang Tao and the others observed the black snake for a while, and they unanimously agreed that it seemed to be a non-venomous python.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black snake was very gentle, allowing people to handle it without showing any signs of its Level 4 status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of its level, Wang Tao found it somewhat miraculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the description on the snake egg said a Level 4 Elite or higher serpent would emerge after hatching, it still felt unbelievable that a newly hatched snake possessed such strong abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Shixue mentioned that the black snake didn’t exude a Level 4 aura before it ate its eggshell. But after it finished the eggshell, its aura turned Level 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eggshell clearly stored a lot of nutrients. After all, it was laid by a Catastrophic Serpent—being strong from birth being a Level 4 Elite seemed reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wang Tao was slightly dissatisfied with one thing—the size of the black snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were bigger, about the size of the Catastrophic Serpent, it could at least be used as a mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or if it were smaller, able to coil around Wang Tao’s wrist, it might serve as a surprise weapon in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its current size… as thick as a bowl’s rim, more than three meters long, and about fifty kilograms. This size wasn’t big but wasn’t small either, roughly like a normal python. So, it couldn’t be used as a mount and wasn’t easy to carry. It was obviously impossible to wear it on the body; it just had to follow the group like Lightning…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if you’ll grow bigger. I hope you get a bit more imposing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After muttering to himself, Wang Tao directed the black snake through some simple tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black snake had mana, but no particular Ability was tested. Wang Tao thought it might be similar to Night Demon: not without Ability, but its Ability might be all Passive, like boosting vitality, HP, and such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its physical constitution was strong, and it was quite powerful. Wang Tao tried, and if it were to coil around someone, even a Fourth-order Awakener might be in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since it hadn’t awakened, compared to a Fourth-order Awakener, its strength was somewhat lacking if it were in a direct fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for its actual combat capability, since there were no enemies present, it was temporarily impossible to test. Wang Tao felt it probably wouldn’t be too weak, considering it’s a Fourth Order Elite, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, you’ll be called Blacky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao petted the black snake’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black snake flicked its tongue and then slowly coiled around Wang Tao again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Wang Tao used his own HP to hatch it, it especially liked being around him, a bit clingy. Unfortunately, its appearance was too unsettling for many. Ding Yuqin and the others touched it out of curiosity but immediately kept their distance afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>",950,"2026-05-30T17:47:09.726Z","2026-06-01T04:31:49.537Z",1,"novelbin.me","b932e3af9ad2d5265bbfb3ccf87427dc9edd1310f1422c35ed85e366ba568a3b","apocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-chapter-853","apocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-chapter-851",1888,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-cover.jpg"]
