Chapter 242: Snake Controlling True Scripture

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of discovery, a slight movement suddenly came from a corner of the basement, as if some kind of creature was wriggling in the darkness. Everyone's nerves tightened instantly, and they drew their weapons one after another, looking around vigilantly.

"Everyone be careful, there might still be guardian creatures left behind by Gao Jin here," Cheng Feng warned in a low voice, while slowly approaching the direction the sound came from. As they drew closer, the rustling became clearer, until a massive king cobra slowly slid out from the shadows, its cold eyes staring straight at the group, as if ready to attack at any moment.

Seeing this, the trusted followers immediately formed a circle, shielding Cheng Feng in the center, their weapons gripped tightly in their hands, their eyes filled with both tension and determination. Facing such a beast, any slight negligence could be fatal.

Cheng Feng stood where he was, his gaze meeting the king cobra's, yet his heart was unusually calm. He recalled the records in ancient books regarding the Snake Controlling technique, especially the parts about how to establish a connection with snakes and perceive their emotions.

There was also Gao Jin's notebook; even a rough flip through it revealed the most frequently repeated word: this cobra named Xiaoan.

He tried to slow his breathing, letting his heartbeat merge with the surrounding environment, as if he himself had become a part of this dark basement.

"Xiaoan, don't be nervous, we won't hurt you," Cheng Feng said softly. Though his voice was light, it carried an indescribable majesty and a soothing power. He slowly extended his hand, palm upward, signaling that he had no hostility.

The king cobra's pupils underwent a slight Shrink, seemingly scrutinizing Cheng Feng's intentions. It slowly flicked its tongue, its body leaning back slightly, ready to react at any moment. At this very instant, Cheng Feng felt a subtle connection, as if a peculiar resonance had been established between him and this king cobra.

"I know you are the guardian left behind by Gao Jin, but we have come to seek the mysteries of the Snake Controlling technique and have no ill intent," Cheng Feng continued, his voice even gentler and full of sincerity.

The king cobra seemed to sense Cheng Feng's sincerity; its body gradually relaxed, and those cold eyes softened significantly. It stared quietly at Cheng Feng, as if contemplating something.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng was secretly pleased. He knew he had successfully captured the king cobra's attention, and what he needed to do next was to communicate further with it, letting it understand that their purpose was not malicious.

Finally, the king cobra slowly turned its head and slid back into the shadows, where the snake den Gao Jin had prepared for it lay.

Cheng Feng looked at the direction it left in, his heart filled with emotion. It seems Gao Jin trained it to be very human-like.

This encounter also made him realize that in this world, there were still many unknown powers waiting for him to explore.

"It seems we have found a way to communicate with these snakes," Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, looking back at his trusted followers, his eyes flashing with excitement. "Hurry up, let's leave as soon as we're done."

Hearing this, the trusted followers nodded one after another and quickened their pace.

The Snake Controlling Secret Technique was successfully collected; Cheng Feng naturally would not let go of such a magical secret technique.

Looking at the books about snakes in Gao Jin's secret room, Cheng Feng grinned from ear to ear.

The Hong Sect was now on the right track, with every aspect being perfected, and no one in the county town would be blind enough to come looking for trouble.

With a leader like Wei Zhuang, who was both loyal to him and possessed the talent for governance, managing a Hong Sect gang was a piece of cake.

So, it was time for him to change things up; having briefly achieved financial freedom, the sense of urgency in his heart had finally vanished without a trace.

For the past few days, Cheng Feng had been indulging in debauchery at the Hong Mansion with Yu Yan and the other two women.

After all, the three women were completely submissive to him and played all sorts of tricks; Cheng Feng was naturally happy to enjoy it, as there was no need for feelings here.

What kind of feelings could Cheng Feng have for other men's wives? Wasn't it better to have virgins?

It was just for fun; of course, if they could bear a child or two, Cheng Feng would not leave the children to fend for themselves.

After the fun, Cheng Feng began to carefully study the Snake Controlling Secret Technique. He immersed himself in the world of the book, understanding the mysteries within word by word. Every page was filled with detailed descriptions and control methods for snakes, making him feel as if he were in a mysterious and dangerous world.

Cheng Feng read with full concentration, constantly thinking about how to apply this knowledge in practice. He pondered the techniques and strategies in the Snake Controlling Secret Technique repeatedly, trying to find the best way to practice, hoping to have the Panmian record it.

As time passed, Cheng Feng's understanding of the Snake Controlling Secret Technique grew deeper. He began to try some simple snake-controlling techniques; although he was not skilled at first, he practiced perseveringly. With a pond full of snakes at the Black Snake Gang's base, there were enough for Cheng Feng to practice with.

Gradually, he was able to better grasp the movements and habits of the snakes and establish a special connection with them.

In this process, Cheng Feng also discovered changes deep within his heart. He became calmer and more focused, and his perception of the surrounding environment became more acute. This change was not only reflected in snake controlling but also influenced his attitude toward life and his ability to handle problems.

Finally, a month later, Cheng Feng played with a small snake in his hand, looking at what appeared on the Panmian: Snake Controlling True Scripture: (Entry 1/300).

He breathed a sigh of relief; he knew his own talents, being just an Ordinary person, and he would have panicked if the Panmian hadn't acknowledged it.

Even with the Panmian like this, Cheng Feng had even more motivation; as long as he added points to the peak, as for snakes, hehehe!!!

Cheng Feng's gaze locked onto the big black snake he had encountered in the canyon. That big black snake had left a deep impression on him; it was powerful and mysterious, filling Cheng Feng with curiosity and desire.

In Cheng Feng's heart, that big black snake represented an unknown power and challenge, and it was also the motivation for him to pursue a higher realm.

As the saying goes, a gentleman takes his revenge, even ten years is not too late.

Seeing the secret technique that could control snakes, Cheng Feng thought immediately about whether he could take down that big black snake; if that failed, eating its meat to increase the cultivation of the women would also work.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes. He only had two choices in his heart: either completely subdue this giant python and make it his pet, or kill it directly, eat its meat, and drink its blood to enhance his own strength!

If he could successfully subdue this giant python, then future mountain explorations and battles would become much easier. But subduing such a powerful beast was no easy task; it required tremendous effort and patience.

And if he chose to kill it for its meat, he could gain more energy and nutrition, but this also meant losing a potential helper.

What Cheng Feng was thinking was to grasp both, and to be firm on both.
