Chapter 55: Speaking Human Language, the Snake King's Threat!

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Seeing the twenty-plus fighter jets roaring in from the distance, General Ning let out a long sigh of relief in his heart; now, as he looked at the large group of Beasts in the valley, his eyes held different thoughts.

It was just that he hadn't taken action yet; he still needed time.

"They're here!"

Elsewhere, Jiang Luoli's expression relaxed, and she also revealed a look of anticipation, "With the military taking action personally this time, it will definitely be more useful than last time!"

The "last time" she referred to was the operation where she had exhausted her efforts to gather the Powerful Group and other noble families and financial groups to march into the Dali Mountains to exterminate the Snake King.

Jiang Luoli also wanted to see how many tricks the Snake King would display when facing the military.

"Boss, the humans are coming with ill intent. What should we do?"

Although those twenty-plus human fighter jets had not yet arrived, Xiaoqing and the other Beast underlings all understood that the humans were coming for them, so they immediately ran to Lu Chuan one by one to ask for his instructions.

Some Beast underlings were even trembling, their faces showing expressions of fear.

"What are you panicking about!"

Hearing this, Lu Chuan turned his head and gave a low shout, a trace of bright red blood still at the corner of his mouth, "The worst-case scenario is just moving to another place to develop!"

"But if I'm pushed too far this time, I will make the human military pay a price!"

"You just stay on the side and watch!"

After speaking, he continued to devour the body left behind by the Tyrant and activated his innate ability to digest it.

It didn't take long for the Tyrant's massive body to be devoured completely; only a few bloodstains remained on the scene, proving the traces of its past existence.

Last time, Lu Chuan had encountered a Fire Leopard that was also in the Shackle Realm, but he had spared its life and taken it in as an underling; this was his first time devouring a Beast with Shackle Realm strength.

He felt that the gains from devouring the Tyrant this time should not be small.

"Ding!"

Congratulations to the host for a successful devouring, rewarded with 500 Evolution Value! Sure enough, after Lu Chuan heard the system prompt in his mind, a flash of joy crossed his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "As expected of the body of a Shackle Realm Beast, the energy contained within is truly massive!"

"Eating one is worth dozens of previous ones!"

Because the reward brought by the Tyrant was truly significant, Lu Chuan couldn't wait to open the system to check his attribute panel—

Name: Lu Chuan

【Age: 2 and a half years old】

【Race: Silver Ring Snake】

【Level: Shackle Realm Stage Three (Total nine stages) (5000/0)】

【Skills: Communication (Basic), Digging (Basic)……】

【Innate Abilities: Corrosive Poison Mist (Advanced), Soul-Seizing Pupil (Advanced), Dark Night Ghost (Basic), Spirit Snake Swift Step (Basic), Diamond Transformation (Basic), Invisibility (Basic), Transformation Art (Basic), Water Spirit (Basic), Gravity Control (Basic), Swallowing Origin Space (Basic), Blood Hunting (Advanced). Consuming 100 Evolution Points can upgrade a Basic innate ability; consuming 500 Evolution Value can upgrade an Advanced innate ability.】

【Evolution Points: 1400】

"Huh, two new skills!" Lu Chuan glanced over; his innate abilities had basically not changed.

Only the two items of skills and Evolution Value showed fluctuations.

Seeing that he had accumulated 1400 Evolution Value, he immediately upgraded these two new skills into innate abilities without hesitation! Following a flash of mysterious light, he saw the changes after the two skills were upgraded: the skill 【Communication】 was upgraded to the innate ability 【Language Mastery】—

【Language Mastery: Can communicate with other species without barriers, including plants!】

The other skill, 【Digging】, was also upgraded to the innate ability 【Earth Escape】—

【Earth Escape (Basic): Can travel rapidly through the earth, moving freely, with speed nearly identical to normal movement!】

"Not bad, not bad. With this 【Language Mastery】 innate ability, I can save a lot of trouble in the future, and this ability is already at max level!"

What Lu Chuan was most satisfied with was this 【Language Mastery】, because this skill had no Basic, Intermediate, or Advanced distinctions; it could be said to be maxed out in one go, for use for a lifetime!

The other one, Earth Escape, seemed to have inherited the Tyrant's ability; with this, Lu Chuan could travel between the ground and underground at will in the future. Coupled with the 【Blood Hunting】 innate ability, he could better conceal himself while discovering the tracks of others—it could be called an essential ability for killing beasts and eating meat!

"Are you ready?"

In the sky, General Ning had already had the reinforcing fighter jets line up in formation. At this moment, as they were about to act, he did not forget to ask.

He had zero tolerance for a Beast like the Snake King that posed a huge threat and could cause panic among humans; he knew that he couldn't let them remain, and only by exterminating them early could he be at ease.

Therefore, even though the reinforcements for the Tyrant had arrived and the Tyrant had long since been eaten, he still decided to attack.

However, just at this moment, the Snake King's gaze turned toward this group of fighter jets, his eyes filled with a thick sense of warning.

Amidst everyone's gaze, Lu Chuan opened his giant mouth and shouted loudly, "Humans! Are you going to be my enemy today?"

This voice was incomparably loud, and the words carried a questioning tone, leaving everyone with stunned expressions, their eyes filled with disbelief, forgetting even to speak! However, what shocked everyone even more was that a Beast could actually speak human language? One had to know, this was the first time such a thing had happened; some people even suspected they were experiencing auditory hallucinations! "Speaking human language?"

Elsewhere, Jiang Luoli was also unsettled; at this moment, her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, "Isn't this something only a Beast with high-stage Shackle Realm strength can do?"

"How can he?"

She even thought that if the Snake King truly possessed that kind of strength, then all the humans who had come here today were in danger, and in the end, including her, as long as they were discovered, they basically wouldn't be able to escape! After all, the strength of a high-stage Shackle Realm Beast was terrifying, and its body strength was also very high; unless an Ultimate Weapon was used, to them, it was basically just scratching an itch! "As expected of the Boss!"

Xiaoqing and the other Beast underlings were similarly plunged into deep shock. After they came to their senses, they spoke one after another with immense surprise, their words filled with adoration, "This is too amazing!"

"When did the Boss learn this?"

All the Beast underlings had not expected that their Boss could actually speak human language.

As this voice slowly faded, the underlings' reverence for Lu Chuan grew even stronger, especially since this time, they had also labeled Lu Chuan with a mysterious tag in their hearts!

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them!"

Lu Chuan ignored what the underlings were thinking. At this moment, he continued to stare at the military personnel and spoke in human language once again, "If war starts today, in the future... I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Hearing this, General Ning felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat; although he had already raised his arm to give the order, he remained silent for a long time.

He was also hesitating whether he and his men could take down a Snake King that could speak and was full of wisdom; if they couldn't take it down...
