Chapter 11: The First Little Underling, the Green Bamboo Snake!

"This innate ability looks quite good too."

Looking at the introduction for the skill 【Spirit Snake Swift Step】, a look of satisfaction gradually appeared in Lu Chuan's eyes, and he then began to earnestly and diligently comprehend and learn it.

Previously, his speed was already quite impressive, even comparable to ordinary speed-type fierce beasts; now with 【Spirit Snake Swift Step】, Lu Chuan felt he could become as fast as a blurred shadow, becoming even more outrageous.

"Let's test its power first."

A short while later, Lu Chuan moved his mind slightly and unleashed 【Spirit Snake Swift Step】.

Instantly, Lu Chuan's body, like a phantom, slithered rapidly through the forest, his form turning into one illusory shadow after another, making it difficult to track.

Swish, swish, swish—

In the primeval forest, a massive creature suddenly moved through like lightning, constantly shifting like a small mountain, frightening many fierce beasts in the forest into a state of terror.

Creak~ creak~ Suddenly, Lu Chuan's body twisted rapidly, and in a moment, he coiled circle by circle, tightly constricting a wild beast.

This was a deer that had grown significantly larger due to the Seven-Colored Light Rain; a few seconds later, the sound of the deer's bones snapping could be heard.

He continued to tighten his encirclement, his powerful body squeezing inward; it seemed as though nothing could stop him.

"Puchi!"

A few seconds later, the deer kicked its limbs, twitched violently a few times, and then its life force rapidly dissipated, dying an unnatural death.

Lu Chuan did not hesitate; he opened his mouth and writhed, swallowing this prey into his belly, then devoured it with his Rapid Digestion ability, turning it into his own strength.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for a successful devouring, gained 3 points of Evolution Value!"

Before the system notification sound in his mind had even ceased, Lu Chuan rushed out again, continuing to hunt for prey in the primeval forest.

His strength was now formidable; he could be called the absolute king of this primeval forest area, and any wild beast that saw him would give him a wide berth.

Therefore, some prey that Lu Chuan had not taken a fancy to, having luckily escaped, immediately told the other fierce beasts about this news.

"A terrifying guy has appeared in our territory!"

"Have you ever seen a Silver Ring Snake thicker than a large tree? That guy... is even more terrifying than a giant python!"

"Is that so? How could a Silver Ring Snake grow so big?"

The one squeaking was a monkey head; they communicated through the special calls of their species: "I remember that this kind of snake is supposed to be very small."

"That was in the past!"

Another monkey head curled its lip, "Did you forget our boss? That night when it rained, he was out in it the most; when he got up in the morning, he had grown much larger and was even more powerful."

"So it's not strange that a Silver Ring Snake can grow this big."

"I came back just to tell you all that if you see that Silver Ring Snake in the future, you must stay far away, absolutely do not provoke it..."

Lu Chuan did not yet know that some of the weaker wild beasts held this view of him; at this time, he had been wandering in the forest for a long while and already had a few prey in his belly, though they were all relatively small and had not brought much of a sense of satiety.

At this moment, he caught sight of a giant lizard lurking not far ahead and was immediately startled.

"This Spiritual Qi Baptism has simply changed the fate of all living things."

"Even a lizard has turned into such a massive creature; I wonder if ants will become taller than a grown man."

"However... they will ultimately be my prey!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan quietly slithered his body toward the lizard, but when the two were still five or six meters apart, the lizard sensed him, instantly turned around, and flicked its tongue at him vigilantly.

"Hmph!"

"Overestimating yourself!" Lu Chuan snorted coldly, his body instantly turning into lightning as he rushed toward the giant lizard.

The giant lizard had not yet reacted when it suddenly felt its body tighten; its tail had already been coiled around, so it rolled violently, using the momentum to snap off its tail and flee frantically.

"Good fellow, it even understands how to break its tail to survive!"

Lu Chuan was stunned by this scene; by the time he rushed toward the giant lizard again, the opponent had already run thirty or forty meters away.

He just moved his mind slightly and shot out directly, biting the giant lizard's body again while rapidly coiling around it.

"You slippery thing, you won't be running away this time!"

"Puchi!"

Instantly, a dose of Highly Toxic venom was injected into the giant lizard's body, and the latter only struggled a few times before breathing its last.

Later, Lu Chuan encountered one or two more prey that were good at escaping like the giant lizard, but he handled them with ease, catching them in no time at all.

In the time that followed, Lu Chuan hunted several more prey in succession, taking the opportunity to accumulate over a dozen points of Evolution Value.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted into his nose, causing Lu Chuan a good deal of surprise.

"This special fragrance... could it be an opportunity involving some heaven-sent treasure?"

"Let's go over and take a look first..."

Thinking this, Lu Chuan followed the direction from which the strange fragrance came; after all, a snake's sense of smell is very keen, and he would not lose the trail.

A moment later, a giant green snake appeared in his line of sight, and judging by its size, it was no less than Lu Chuan.

In the lush forest, Lu Chuan observed carefully and discovered that this should be a green bamboo snake, which had mutated after being baptized by the light rain and, like him, was a Highly Toxic snake species.

"Hiss~"

The giant green snake discovered him and flicked its tongue, emitting a series of hisses to warn him to leave.

Lu Chuan did not pay much attention to the opponent's warning, instead looking around and discovering that behind the giant green snake was a fruit tree.

The fruits on that tree were crystalline and plump; even now in the relatively dim forest, they flickered with a faint fluorescent glow, like falling starlight, illuminating the dark place beneath the tree.

With just one glance, Lu Chuan sensed the extraordinary nature of these Strange Fruit and was even less willing to leave.

"Could this be some heaven-sent treasure?"

Lu Chuan's eyes were suddenly filled with excitement; seeing the giant green snake's warning sounds growing louder, he suddenly lunged out, charging straight ahead.

Bang—

The two giant snakes collided fiercely, and a loud noise rang out simultaneously with the sound of snapping trees.

They rolled off to one side, continuously slamming their heads into each other's bodies during the process, and even began to entwine like they were treating each other as prey.

"Hmph!"

Taking the opportunity to separate, Lu Chuan let out a cold snort in his heart, suddenly activated Spirit Snake Swift Step, dashed to the side of the giant cyan snake like lightning, and then violently whipped his tail out.

Rumble! In an instant, a massive force sent the giant cyan snake flying horizontally. Seeing Lu Chuan pursuing and closing in, it hurriedly lowered its head, pressed its body tightly against the ground, and signaled submission! Seeing this, a smile appeared in Lu Chuan's eyes, and then, as flashes of bewitching light flickered, Soul-Seizing Pupil was instantly unleashed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Are you willing to submit?"

"Big Brother, I am willing!"
