Chapter 330: Cobra Da Hei

Cheng Feng stood before the rockery in the Rear Courtyard of the old residence of Black Snake Gang leader Gao Jin, his expression grave, his heart complaining to the extreme.

This rockery appeared ordinary and unremarkable, but it actually concealed mysteries; an average person truly would not be able to discover them.

This was exactly the same as that underground cave where he had accidentally discovered the red-scaled giant snake; every detail revealed the unknown secrets and deep-laid plans of the predecessors.

Cheng Feng could not help but wonder why these underworld overlords all liked to build a cave in their own backyards?

As the mechanism on the rockery slowly activated, a faint mechanical sound echoed in the quiet air, as if it were an overture where history and reality intertwined.

Cheng Feng's heart also rose to his throat; he gripped the Space Ring in his hand, which contained the precious Black Flood Dragon Meat, the bargaining chip he prepared to use to try and tame that cobra with human-like intelligence.

"Since you possess wisdom and can perceive changes in the outside world, then how will you choose when faced with this gift from a more powerful creature?" Cheng Feng pondered secretly; he believed that for any creature, the temptation of power and evolution was hard to resist.

Before the Black Flood Dragon transformed, it was also a large black snake, and as far as Cheng Feng knew, snakes could also devour one another; if the cobra reacted to eating the Black Flood Dragon Meat, then his Snake Controlling True Scripture truly had not been practiced in vain.

As the stone door of the rockery rumbled open, a cold and damp aura rushed toward his face, mixed with a faint stench, making Cheng Feng frown. But he did not retreat; instead, he took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Inside the Snake Cave, dim candlelight flickered, reflecting the shadows of snakes that were either coiled or slithering; some were brightly colored, others were massive in size, all appearing vigilant.

However, among these many snakes, Cheng Feng's gaze quickly locked onto a unique cobra; it was quietly curled up in a corner, and a light of wisdom seemed to flicker within those cold eyes.

Cheng Feng walked over slowly, took a piece of Black Flood Dragon Meat from his Space Ring, and placed it gently on the ground. The cobra's attention was instantly captured; it slithered over slowly and touched the meat with its snout, seemingly making some kind of judgment.

"Come, this is your chance for evolution," Cheng Feng said softly, his tone filled with sincerity and anticipation.

The cobra seemed to understand his words and, without the slightest hesitation, swallowed the Black Flood Dragon Meat in one gulp. Immediately after, its body began to undergo subtle changes; a black luster faintly emerged between its scales, and its eyes became even more profound.

Watching the changes gradually manifesting in the cobra's body after it ate the Black Flood Dragon Meat, a surge of indescribable excitement welled up in Cheng Feng's heart. He knew that this attempt was not only an important test for this cobra but also a practice of his own Snake Controlling arts.

"It seems you have made the right choice," Cheng Feng smiled slightly; he knew that from this moment on, this cobra would no longer be an Ordinary beast, but one with the potential to become an important partner on his future path.

Seeing that the cobra eating the Black Flood Dragon Meat really had an effect, Cheng Feng did not hesitate and, following the method in the Snake Controlling True Scripture, forced out his own essence blood.

Following the ancient secret technique recorded in the "Snake Controlling True Scripture," Cheng Feng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, allowing his spirit to reach a state of unprecedented tranquility.

The following steps required extremely high concentration and precision; the slightest mistake would not only fail to establish a connection with the cobra but could also cause himself irreparable harm.

But Cheng Feng looked at the skill on his Panmian that had already reached the Master level.

Snake Controlling True Scripture: (Master 100/300)

Cheng Feng did not believe that a Master-level Snake Controlling True Scripture would not be enough.

As his spirit settled, Cheng Feng slowly extended his right hand, pressed his index and middle fingers together, and lightly touched the center of his brow, as if guiding some kind of power from deep within his body.

At this moment, he felt as if he could sense the boiling in his bloodline, and the power of his own soul was being slowly awakened.

"With my blood, I bind your soul; we shall coexist and prosper, never to betray!" Cheng Feng shouted in a low voice and suddenly forced out a drop of his own essence blood. This drop of essence blood traced a brilliant trajectory in the air and finally landed steadily on the cobra's forehead.

The cobra seemed to sense the special nature of this essence blood; it stopped eating and looked up at Cheng Feng, a flash of human-like gratitude and awe appearing in those cold eyes.

Immediately after, its body changed once more; the black luster that had already been faintly visible became even more dazzling, and a powerful aura emanated from its body, as if an invisible bridge had been established between it and Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng could clearly feel the existence of this connection; he and this cobra were now linked by their auras, and after continuing to feed it for another month, he would be able to tame it, and once their rapport was fully cultivated, he would have gained another great general.

According to Cheng Feng's previous observations, this cobra had already been raised by Gao Jin to be quite human-like, and its strength was no different from a Martial Artist at the Bone Refining Initial Stage.

"From now on, you are my partner, Cheng Feng's partner. I will call you Da Hei from now on; I hope that in the future, you can be like that Black Flood Dragon and successfully transform into a flood dragon."

Watching the cobra move as flexibly as his own arm under his mental guidance, Cheng Feng's heart was filled with indescribable joy and pride.

In his past life, he was afraid he couldn't even afford to keep a dog, but now he was keeping a gifted snake with ease; it truly was the irony of fate.

A month passed in the blink of an eye; apart from practicing diligently with his wives and Concubine at home, Cheng Feng spent the rest of his time cultivating his rapport with Da Hei.

Nourished by Flood Dragon Meat every day, Da Hei's body grew increasingly massive; its originally greenish-black scales had completely turned pure black, and the humanity revealed in its eyes was like that of a child.

Now, every movement of Da Hei seemed to be in tune with Cheng Feng's thoughts; it was no longer a cold beast, but had become Cheng Feng's most loyal partner and comrade-in-arms.

Under Cheng Feng's guidance, the cobra could precisely execute various complex commands, whether it was stealthy movement or a fierce attack, demonstrating extraordinary ability.

This rapport and coordination made Cheng Feng even more comfortable when facing enemies; he no longer needed to fight alone, but could rely on the power of the cobra Da Hei to make up for his own shortcomings.

Cheng Feng didn't really need it, but having a snake as a mount was also very cool!!!

The cobra Da Hei also received more guidance and nourishment from Cheng Feng; its strength was constantly improving, and the symbiotic relationship between it and Cheng Feng became increasingly solid.

In just one month, Da Hei's strength had skyrocketed, reaching the level of a Martial Artist at the Bone Refining Late Stage.

Moreover, there was a strong feeling in Cheng Feng's mind that if he continued to feed it Black Flood Dragon Meat, the Da Hei before him might truly become a spirit.
