Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Heaven Helps Me

Suddenly, the Mutated Bloodsucker Snake stopped moving, allowing several slender bolts of lightning to strike its tough scales. A demonic hiss erupted from it, its appearance becoming utterly ferocious and terrifying.

’Such intense malevolence.’

Tu Xiao’an frowned. He saw the Vampire Snake’s eyes turn completely blood-red. Instead of blasting it to smithereens, the lightning only served to further stoke its ferocity.

’It seemed the word ”fear” simply wasn’t in the Vampire Snake’s vocabulary.’

ROAR...

It was an earth-shattering howl. Tu Xiao’an froze for a moment. It sounded like the sudden ring of a blade, and then, a cold wind swept in from the distance.

That was no cold wind. It was the Vampire Snake. Its ferocity fully unleashed, its speed exploded as it shot straight through the lightning storm, appearing before the Silver White Snake in an instant.

Its body shot upward, its jaws gaping to reveal four sharp fangs as it lunged forward with a vicious bite.

However, Tu Xiao’an reacted quickly, twisting his body to the side. But he was a fraction too slow. The Vampire Snake’s fangs bit directly onto his silver-white scales.

SCRAPE...

As its fangs connected, the Vampire Snake felt as if it had bitten into solid steel, sending a shower of sparks into the air.

Surprise flashed in its vicious eyes. ’My four fangs can’t even break through its scales?’

This was the first time since its birth that the Vampire Snake had ever encountered such a thing.

’Hmph, now it’s my turn.’

Every time Tu Xiao’an’s Level increased, he gained an opportunity to strengthen his body. His flesh seemed pliant and boneless, but it was also incredibly tough.

CHOMP...

He opened his jaws and bit down with equal ferocity on the Vampire Snake’s fiery-red stripes. But he couldn’t break the skin at first, leaving only a shallow impression.

They were evenly matched.

In an instant, the Silver White Snake and the Vampire Snake were locked in a tangled struggle.

The two differently-patterned venomous snakes began a battle to the death.

The two snakes tore at each other, their maws gaping to reveal pale fangs dripping with deadly Venom. It was a terrifying sight.

With his nemesis right before him, Tu Xiao’an fought with a feral intensity, grappling with the Vampire Snake as if he’d lost all reason. He refused to believe he couldn’t out-bite this snake.

The Vampire Snake was undeniably clever. By locking itself in a desperate struggle with the Silver White Snake, it no longer had to fear the lightning striking from above.

If the lightning struck now, the worst that could happen was that it would get electrocuted along with the Silver White Snake.

In just a few moments, the two snakes had viciously torn at each other, their bodies becoming covered in bloody wounds. Each of their Snake Skins was pocked with the other’s fang marks.

The venomous snake Tu Xiao’an had become was immune to all poisons. Although the Vampire Snake’s Venom was potent, he wasn’t the least bit afraid.

In fact, he wanted to use his own Venom to poison the Vampire Snake to death and then perform Devouring.

But to Tu Xiao’an’s dismay, the Vampire Snake also seemed to be immune to snake venom. He had already injected a large amount of his own Venom into its body through his bites.

However, the Vampire Snake showed no signs of being poisoned whatsoever. It continued its life-and-death struggle, seemingly intent on mutual destruction.

Tu Xiao’an figured the other snake must be four Levels higher than him, which would explain why his venom was having no effect.

As the saying goes, when two foes meet on a narrow path, the braver one prevails. Just then, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in Tu Xiao’an’s mind.

”Ding... By performing Devouring on the High Rank Awakened Strange Snake, the host can directly advance 2 Levels.”

Killing a higher-level opponent was risky, but the rewards were equally high. The system’s notification invigorated Tu Xiao’an.

’Advancing two whole Levels at once... what a huge temptation.’

The problem was, if this tangled fight continued, he wouldn’t fare well. His entire body was already covered in blood.

In the end, his arsenal of abilities was still too limited. He didn’t dare have the Electric Bee unleash its lightning now; if it did, he’d be struck as well.

They were coiled tightly around each other—a common method of attack for venomous snakes. The first to bite the other to death would claim the loser as its meal.

Just as the two snakes were locked in a stalemate, a slender, middle-aged man was slowly making his way toward them from a kilometer away, observing the many desiccated corpses along his path.

Dr. Snake, Chen Mo, gazed into the distance. He knew the Vampire Snake was nearby. But as he walked, he suddenly sensed two exceptionally powerful serpentine auras flaring up.

Either aura was potent enough to make a person feel as if they were in the dead of winter, shivering uncontrollably.

His eyes flew open, a sharp glint appearing within them. He felt a surge of irrepressible excitement in his heart.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo arrived at the battleground. The first thing he saw was two distinctly different venomous snakes, tangled together like a thick rope.

A single glance would have sent any ordinary person running in terror, for the two snakes were a horrifying sight. Venomous snakes over a meter long are enough to inspire fear, to say nothing of these two unique specimens, which exuded a chilling and dreadful aura.

But Dr. Snake was no ordinary person. He had come precisely to catch snakes.

In his eyes, snakes were treasures. A specimen on the Level of a Mutated Bloodsucker Snake was an absolute treasure, incomparable to anything else.

Chen Mo recognized the Vampire Snake at a glance, but the solid silver-white snake battling it astonished him.

’To be able to fight the Vampire Snake to such a stalemate... there probably isn’t a second venomous snake like this in all of She Mountain.’

After a moment of surprise, it dawned on Chen Mo. ’This silver-white snake must be the creature revered as the Snake King by the Snake Catchers of Bai Town.’

’Haha, talk about a lucky break! I searched high and low with no success, only to have them fall right into my lap. Two unparalleled Snake Species, laid bare right before me.’

Fortunately, Chen Mo was a reserved man. Anyone else would have been so excited they would have thrown their head back and shouted, ”The heavens are smiling on me!”

’Both of these prime specimens have a high probability of being able to handle the Giant Snake’s genes and become peerless Snake Species. I didn’t expect to come for the Vampire Snake and get a buy-one-get-one-free deal.’

’Killing two birds with one stone.’

Just then, Chen Mo began to walk unhurriedly toward the two entangled snakes. His footsteps were light, as if he were worried about disturbing their fight.

Both Tu Xiao’an and the Vampire Snake noticed Chen Mo’s approach.

’Does this person have a death wish? Is he tired of living? How dare he approach two such terrifying venomous snakes?’

’No, something’s off.’

Tu Xiao’an immediately sensed that this man was no ordinary human. He possessed an aura strangely similar to that of a snake.

’If he weren’t so obviously human, Tu Xiao’an would have suspected the man before him was actually a Snake.’

Chen Mo’s hair fluttered in the wind as he stopped about ten feet from the two snakes. The temperature in the area was incredibly low, positively frigid, but Chen Mo paid it no mind. A Silver Needle suddenly appeared in his hand. The needle looked as if it had been naturally formed, its surface seemingly untouched by the mortal world, yet it glinted with a cold light.

He then gently caressed the Silver Needle, his eyes fixed on the two snakes as if they were branded there. His voice, carrying an odd magnetism, softly uttered, ”My little treasures, how would you like to come home with me?”
