Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 378: Chapter 374: Ageless Beauty

Su Yu quickly called people over to carry the fainted waiter out and get him settled. Tu Xiao’an, on the other hand, was continuously observing the Golden Silkworm Gu Snake in his hand. The snake’s fangs were sharp and slender; a single glance told him it was a deadly, venomous snake.

If it were to enter your body, it would act like a Vampire and drain you of everything. If it were to bite you, you would die instantly from the poison.

However, Tu Xiao’an discovered this wasn’t an adult Gu Snake; it was still in its developmental stage.

’Who on earth placed this Gu Snake inside Yu Zitong’s body?’

’Was it someone from the Bai Family?’

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes gleamed with contemplation. One crucial point was that Yu Zitong’s cat wasn’t there.

’Who wouldn’t covet a Super level Creature like that?’

’As for what happened... I’ll probably only find out when Yu Zitong wakes up and tells me.’

Holding the Golden Silkworm Gu Snake in one hand, Tu Xiao’an produced a Snakeberry with the other. He then pushed it into Yu Zitong’s mouth, where it instantly dissolved.

’If I just wait for Yu Zitong to wake up on his own, who knows how long that would take.’

But even after swallowing the Snakeberry, Yu Zitong showed no signs of waking. The man’s body was simply too weak now; the Golden Silkworm Gu Snake had practically drained him dry.

Tu Xiao’an didn’t dare give him any more Snakeberries. He was afraid that in his weakened state, Yu Zitong’s body couldn’t handle such a potent tonic and would be overwhelmed. It was better to take things slow.

”Brother Xiao’an, what are you planning to do with this Gu Snake?” Su Yu asked, his eyes fixed on the snake in Tu Xiao’an’s hand with lingering fear.

Tu Xiao’an joked, ”Brother Su, isn’t your restaurant a wild game joint? We could serve it to your customers in a snake stew.”

Su Yu’s face turned pale at the suggestion, and he shook his head repeatedly. He would never dare serve such a vicious snake to his customers; it would be fatal.

’That’s money I dare not earn.’

”Master, that snake looks good. How about making it into a stew for this old bull?” At that moment, the Bull Demon King’s large, bell-like eyes were fixed greedily on the Golden Silkworm Gu Snake.

’This Colorful Bull actually has a good eye.’

No matter how evil this Gu Snake was, one thing had to be admitted: after incubating inside Yu Zitong’s body and feeding on his flesh, blood, and Essence, the snake was now something extraordinary. It was now an incredibly valuable Snake Species.

Its venom, Snake Blood, flesh, and other organs could all be used for valuable medicinal purposes.

A truly powerful tonic.

Tu Xiao’an only partially understood the origins of the Golden Silkworm Gu Snake. He needed to find someone to ask.

Ignoring the Bull Demon King’s request, Tu Xiao’an took out his phone, snapped a photo of the Golden Silkworm Gu Snake, and sent it to someone.

A reply came back quickly, filled with astonishment: ”Golden Silkworm Gu???”

Tu Xiao’an smiled. ’As expected of Dr. Snake. His knowledge of snakes is unparalleled.’

”Where did you get this kind of snake?”

”From inside a person’s body!” Tu Xiao’an’s reply was simple and direct.

The other person’s message: ”Let’s meet. Where are you?”

Tu Xiao’an sent his location directly. The man known as Dr. Snake, Chen Mo, was incredibly passionate about anything related to snakes, to say nothing of a Golden Silkworm Gu.

It wasn’t just a once-in-a-generation venomous snake; it was a venomous snake that shouldn’t even exist.

’I’m very interested in this snake myself. I’ll learn what I can about it first. Then, once Yu Zitong wakes up, I’ll find out whose handiwork this is.’

「One hour later.」

Dr. Snake was wheeled into the private room at Wei Xian Pavilion.

Tu Xiao’an introduced him and Su Yu, then handed the Golden Silkworm Gu to Chen Mo. Chen Mo took the snake, stroking it for a moment. After confirming it was a Golden Silkworm Gu, he sighed. ”I never thought I’d live to see one of these. This is the one Snake Species I least wanted to encounter.”

As he spoke, Chen Mo’s gaze landed on the unconscious Yu Zitong. The man was skin and bones, his life force faint. It was obvious he had been ravaged by the Gu Snake.

”It seems you’re quite knowledgeable about this snake, Doctor,” Tu Xiao’an said, looking at him.

Chen Mo replied, ”I wouldn’t say knowledgeable. This is the first time I’ve seen one in person. I’ve only ever read about this type of snake in Ancient Texts.”

”This snake is created using a very Evil Technique. The method is said to have been passed down from the Wizards of the Miao Race.”

”The process of creating a Golden Silkworm Gu is incredibly troublesome and complicated. It’s generally divided into three steps. First, you take one hundred high-quality species of venomous snakes and seal them in an urn. You let them fight and devour one another until only one is left. This survivor’s form and color will have changed, and it will resemble a silkworm.”

”Second, you feed this venomous snake a diet of various poisonous creatures. You place twelve types of them, such as centipedes, lizards, earthworms, and toads, into the urn. This feeding process lasts for a full year, making the snake incomparably venomous and ferocious.”

”The most crucial part is the third step. You must soak the snake in a large amount of fresh human blood—specifically, the blood of children. This blood has to be changed daily for forty-nine days. Only when the snake’s skin turns a golden-yellow is the process considered a success.”

”Once a Golden Silkworm Gu is born, it is either sealed away to hibernate or it uses a living human body as a host to continue feeding. It will feed until it has completely drained the person’s Essence. Only after the host dies will it leave to find a new body.”

Chen Mo explained all this slowly, but strangely, his gaze toward the Golden Silkworm Gu was gentle.

Tu Xiao’an frowned. ”Why go to such painstaking lengths to create a Golden Silkworm Gu? It must have some other major use, right?”

”But of course. You might not believe this, but the Golden Silkworm Gu is said to be immortal. Its Snake Blood can grant eternal youth. A mouthful of Golden Silkworm Snake Blood each day, and your appearance will remain unchanged until the day you die.”

At these words, Su Yu’s eyes went wide. ’It can grant eternal youth? Isn’t that a Miracle Elixir? This snake is practically a gold mine! It has tremendous commercial value.’

He secretly regretted it. When Tu Xiao’an had offered it to him just now, he hadn’t dared to accept.

”What else?” Tu Xiao’an asked calmly.

Chen Mo glanced at him. ”You should remember when I captured you and the Vampire Snake. I wanted to cultivate a peerless Snake Species. My goal was to use its venom to develop anti-cancer drugs.”

”But actually, there’s no need to go to all that trouble. The venom of the Golden Silkworm Gu is the best anti-cancer drug in the world.”

Su Yu’s eyes bulged again. He hadn’t understood the first half of the sentence, but the second half was crystal clear. ’It can treat cancer? That’s astounding.’

”If you knew this, Doctor, then why...?” Tu Xiao’an asked, puzzled. Although the method for creating a Golden Silkworm Gu was somewhat evil and required human blood, it wasn’t an entirely unthinkable endeavor.

’After all, the snake’s value is immense. A few sacrifices could be justified.’

’According to the Doctor, its Snake Blood grants eternal youth and its venom fights cancer. Either of those benefits is irresistible. They’re both absolutely Epic Level breakthroughs. The person who achieved it would go down in history as one of humanity’s greatest benefactors.’

’The world would be completely transformed. Eternal youth alone is something people would give their entire fortune for without a second thought.’
