Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 91: Chapter 90: The Vampire Snake’s Astonishing Change

The syringe was injected into the Vampire Snake’s abdomen. The Vampire Snake was uncharacteristically docile, showing no trace of its usual ferocity.

Tu Xiao’an watched in silence, a complicated feeling washing over him. ’Because I won’t be able to escape the same treatment.’

At the same time, he was extremely curious. ’What’s in that syringe? Why are they injecting it into the Snake?’

He could only watch in silence, paying close attention to any changes in the Vampire Snake.

However, the Snake was so docile that Tu Xiao’an almost didn’t recognize it.

After the injection, all eyes were fixed on the Vampire Snake. Everyone held their breath.

The Vampire Snake remained coiled motionless on the table. For a moment, there was no discernible reaction.

It was as if it had been injected with nothing more than saline solution.

Dongfang Ye and Dr. Snake now stood together, their gazes fixed on the Vampire Snake. After watching for a moment, Dongfang Ye couldn’t help but ask, ”Why isn’t this Snake reacting?”

Compared to the violent reaction of the Mangshan Iron Head during the first experiment, this Mutated Bloodsucker Snake was far too calm. Anyone who didn’t know better might think they had used the wrong agent.

Everyone present couldn’t help but wonder, ’Don’t tell me this experiment is going to fail, too.’

On the contrary, a hint of joy appeared in the eyes of Dr. Snake, Chen Mo. He said, ”It’s a Mutant Snake Species, after all. Whether it’s the sheer vitality of its Life Force or its physical strength, it’s far beyond what a more recently evolved Snake Species like the Mangshan Iron Head can compare to. Its resilience and tolerance are simply unimaginable.”

”Keep in mind, we injected it with the Giant Snake Gene. That’s like planting a bomb inside its body, and it actually withstood it. How incredible is that?”

”No reaction is a good sign?” Dongfang Ye asked doubtfully.

The Vampire Snake had been injected with the Giant Snake Gene, yet it exhibited none of the expected phenomena. It wasn’t thrashing about or hissing wildly. Its eyes weren’t turning red, and its body wasn’t swelling.

Dr. Snake continued to explain, ”The calmer the Snake, the higher the success rate. It means the Giant Snake’s gene isn’t causing its body any discomfort.”

His previous hypothesis had been correct after all. The Mutated Bloodsucker Snake truly could withstand the Giant Snake’s gene.

”The Mangshan Iron Head’s reaction was too violent. That showed the Giant Snake’s gene was causing it extreme pain. It couldn’t take it, and that’s why its body ultimately exploded.”

”Oh, I see.” Realization dawned on Dongfang Ye. ’The Mangshan Iron Head is a rare Snake Species, too, but compared to this Vampire Snake, the difference is night and day.’

A sharp glint flashed in Dongfang Ye’s eyes, which burned intensely beneath his thick brows. ’It looks like it’s really going to succeed this time. As long as the experiment is a success, it will be a scientific breakthrough that stuns the entire world, and my Shanye Group will go global.’

Tu Xiao’an, watching from the sidelines, was starting to understand. These people had injected some kind of Giant Snake gene into the Vampire Snake’s body.

’But what’s the purpose of all this?’

’To make the Vampire Snake even more powerful?’

’Going to all this trouble just to make this kind of Evil Snake stronger... what are they planning?’

Tu Xiao’an was only seeing a piece of the puzzle.

He couldn’t help but wonder, ’Will they inject me with the Giant Snake Gene, too?’

「Ten minutes later.」

”HISS...”

The Vampire Snake on the table slowly began to move, its body starting to stir. The fiery red stripes covering its body began to glow, looking as if they might burst into Flame.

”SSS...”

The Vampire Snake grew agitated. Its Snake Gaze turned blood-red, and its hisses now carried a hint of yearning.

Chen Mo’s eyes narrowed. He leaned forward, and his mouth moved, emitting a sound identical to that of the Snake Race. ”HISS...”

The man and the Snake hissed back and forth, communicating with one another.

The others couldn’t understand what the man and the Snake were saying, but Tu Xiao’an, the Silver White Snake, understood perfectly. His eyes slowly widened as if he had been struck by lightning.

”My precious, how is your body feeling now?”

Vampire Snake: ”Master, I need food. I need food. I’m so hungry.”

’The Vampire Snake actually called him Master.’ Tu Xiao’an was shocked. ’So it was true. After eating that pill, the Vampire Snake has been reduced to someone’s pet.’

’Just how miraculous is that pill? To make a ferocious Evil Snake like the Mutated Bloodsucker Snake bow its head in submission...’

’No. If he tries to make me eat that pill, I’ll refuse, even if it kills me.’

Tu Xiao’an had no desire to lose his mind and become someone’s pet snake.

Just then, Chen Mo’s eyes lit up and he shouted, ”Quick! Bring the food I prepared!”

Several staff members carried over a large wooden barrel. The sight within was horrifying: piles of venomous snakes hissing in terror, writhing and trying to escape.

A single glance was enough to make one’s legs go weak with fright and a wave of nausea. The barrel contained at least a hundred deadly, venomous snakes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mo reached directly into the barrel, pulled out a small snake no longer than a chopstick, and placed it on the long table.

WHOOSH!

The Vampire Snake’s eyes flashed as it darted in front of the small snake, bit down on its head, and began to savagely swallow it whole.

Chen Mo was feeding a snake to another snake.

The Vampire Snake was a typical ophiophage—a snake that eats other snakes. Feeding it venomous snakes was, therefore, quite fitting.

Looking into the large barrel, one could see snakes of all sizes—from hatchlings only a few months old to adult vipers that had lived for several years. There were even some two to three meters in length.

Moreover, none of these venomous snakes were common; they were all rare Snake Species.

A single one of them was worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Only an industry leader like the Shanye Group could afford to spend money like it was water.

In less than a minute, the small snake had been completely, cruelly swallowed alive by the Vampire Snake. Its Snake Gaze grew even brighter, shimmering with an eerie light as it raised its head to look at Dr. Snake.

As if understanding the Vampire Snake’s intent, Chen Mo immediately grabbed another small snake from the barrel and placed it before it.

The Vampire Snake, of course, did not stand on ceremony. It immediately began its Devouring, feasting with great relish.

After finishing one, it would raise its head expectantly toward Dr. Snake, and Dr. Snake would grab another.

This went back and forth for a dozen rounds.

”Look! The Snake... it’s gotten bigger!”

Dongfang Ye watched in amazement. He wasn’t stunned by the Vampire Snake’s massive appetite, but by the fact that as it ate, its body was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The Vampire Snake had originally been just over two meters long. But as it continued its Devouring of the smaller snakes, it had quietly grown to three meters. Its Snake Skin seemed to burn like a crimson Flame.

Moreover, it seemed insatiable. A small snake would be swallowed and digested in an instant. Its stomach was a bottomless pit, Devouring everything.

Chen Mo tirelessly pulled snake after snake from the barrel. Each one was a rare Snake Species; there were absolutely no subpar specimens included just to make up the numbers. He was now targeting the venomous snakes that were over a meter long.

From this point on, it seemed that the Vampire Snake’s body changed every time it swallowed another venomous snake.

The change was miraculous. It grew as it ate. The scene was like something out of a sci-fi horror film.

Even a man like Dongfang Ye, who commanded the business world, was left dumbstruck. This was the complete opposite of what had happened with the Mangshan Iron Head.

After being injected with the Giant Snake Gene, the Mangshan Iron Head had shown signs of extreme pain, gone berserk, and then its body had begun to swell uncontrollably.

The constant, rapid swelling became too much for its body to handle, leading to its death by explosion.

In contrast, the Vampire Snake growing by eating food seemed perfectly normal, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Most importantly, this Snake was in excellent condition and showed no signs of any adverse reactions.
