Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Why did you stop following Chapter 84?A sixty-ton behemoth was easily tossed aside by a snake as if it were a mere stone.

Just how much strength did that require?

Nakamura Ono felt a chill in his heart; this snake was a monster.

The two tanks had collided violently and were severely damaged; they were already malfunctioning and unable to move, and the soldiers inside had long since been knocked unconscious or killed by the impact.

”Fire!” Nakamura Ono roared into his walkie-talkie.

Bang! Bang!

Rat-tat-tat!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A new wave of firepower rained down again.

Jiang Feng was slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected this group of people to remain undeterred by his actions just moments ago, and instead, they had seized a rare opportunity to launch a fierce attack on him.

But was it useful?

Jiang Feng quickly lunged forward once more, appearing in front of a tank.

The driver of that tank saw the Big White Snake appear suddenly and tried to dodge in a panic.

But Jiang Feng’s serpentine body had already coiled around the tank, and it was slowly lifted into the air.

This time, Jiang Feng did not choose to fling it away; instead, he flipped the tank upside down and slammed it into the ground.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength when flinging the previous tank, it had still consumed a significant amount of his stamina.

He couldn’t afford to keep flinging tanks for long, as his own body weight was not even equal to that of a single tank.

While a tank’s size wasn’t massive, its weight was dozens of times that of a creature of similar size.

This was because a tank was essentially a giant hunk of steel.

Jiang Feng also wouldn’t use his Strangulation power to crush the tank, as that would consume even more energy.

Flipping the tank over was simply the easiest and most effective method.

It was just that it might not be able to kill the people inside the tank.

Once flipped, it was basically impossible for a tank to turn itself back over.

Its immense weight was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Thirty tanks had already lost three, leaving twenty-seven.

Nakamura Ono did not issue an order to retreat; he still wanted to gamble, hoping to test the limits of the giant snake.

Jiang Feng continued to flip the tanks, planting them upside down on the ground one by one, like planting trees.

The third, the fourth, the fifth... the sixteenth.

When Jiang Feng had flipped the sixteenth tank, Nakamura Ono finally panicked.

Now, less than half of the tanks remained, yet the giant snake showed no signs of exhaustion.

”Retreat.” Nakamura Ono gave the order to retreat, albeit unwillingly.

His dream of killing the snake to earn merit had been shattered.

Continuing to clash head-on with the giant snake was pointless.

Nakamura Ono planned to carry out the higher-ups’ strategy: lure the Big White Snake to the seaside.

Thus, the remaining fourteen tanks fled directly toward the coast.

Jiang Feng followed closely behind and flipped over another four tanks.

After that, he stopped his pursuit, leaving only ten tanks fleeing for their lives toward the front.

They realized that the snake’s speed was too fast—far faster than the tanks could ever be.

Watching the ten tanks flee into the distance, Jiang Feng turned around and returned to the pig farm.

He still needed to continue using the Devouring Technique to consume pigs and improve his Physique; he had no time to play chase with a bunch of deserters.

Seeing the giant snake return, the pigs were immediately terrified and began trembling, with many peeing themselves in fear.

[fear points + 90]

[fear points + 90]

...

Jiang Feng had previously devoured hundreds of pigs and was stained with the baleful aura of hundreds of them, which was why the pigs were instinctively and exceptionally afraid of him, as if he were their natural predator.

It had reached the point where the pigs’ very genes produced fear and dread.

It was just like how an ordinary person would instinctively fear a murderous fiend, even if they didn’t know who he was.

While fleeing, Nakamura Ono was secretly pleased at first when he saw the snake didn’t follow, and he continued to run desperately, hoping to put more distance between them.

But as time passed, the snake still didn’t catch up.

This made Nakamura Ono, who had been feeling lucky just a moment ago, suddenly feel that something was wrong.

The snake wasn’t planning to stop chasing them, was it?

Then how were they supposed to lure it?

Could it be that the sacrifice of over a dozen tanks had just been a waste of effort?

The more Nakamura Ono thought about it, the uglier his expression became; after so long, it was highly likely the snake wouldn’t come after them.

Suddenly, he felt a fishy sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

”Colonel Nakamura!” the soldiers nearby exclaimed.

”I am so frustrated!” Nakamura Ono growled low; how could he be so unlucky?

How was he supposed to report this to his superiors? Not only had he suffered a crushing defeat in his unauthorized duel with the Big White Snake, but the luring operation had also failed.

”Move out, go back, and find the Big White Snake again.”

Nakamura Ono gritted his teeth.

He couldn’t understand why the Big White Snake had suddenly given up the chase; he felt he had been thoroughly toyed with by the creature.

If Jiang Feng knew what Nakamura Ono was thinking at that moment, he would definitely scream that he was being wronged.

Nakamura Ono and his men hadn’t caused him any harm, and he had absolutely no intention of hunting them all down for revenge.

So, he would only chase them if he were bored out of his mind, and they couldn’t even provide many fear points.

Even if there weren’t pigs waiting for him at the farm, he wouldn’t necessarily have chased them.

Jiang Feng ate twenty-five pigs in one go before stopping to begin digesting them using the Devouring Technique.

Half an hour later.

[Devoured 25 pigs, Physique + 500]

After adding five hundred to his Physique, his total reached twenty thousand.

Jiang Feng felt the familiar itching sensation; he was about to molt.

Jiang Feng didn’t plan to hide to molt; he simply began rubbing his body against the ground.

Not long after he started rubbing, he heard a series of rumbling sounds.

It was tanks—another group of tanks had arrived.

A look of impatience appeared in Jiang Feng’s snake eyes; these people were truly endless.

They always came to disturb him when he was busy.

At this moment, he was at a critical stage of molting, so Jiang Feng could only patiently continue the process.

Nakamura Ono and his men stopped their tanks a hundred meters away and did not continue to approach.

”Colonel Nakamura, that snake seems to be staying in the pig farm without moving. Should we fire?” a soldier nearby asked.

Nakamura Ono observed carefully for a moment; the Big White Snake was indeed staying there motionless.

No, that wasn’t right. It wasn’t that it wasn’t moving; it was moving slowly, as if it were rubbing against something.

A thought suddenly flashed through Nakamura Ono’s mind.

Could the Big White Snake be molting?

The more he thought about it, the more excited Nakamura Ono became. He suddenly understood why the Big White Snake hadn’t chased them.

He hadn’t been toyed with by the Big White Snake after all.

It was because the Big White Snake was about to molt, which was why it hadn’t pursued them.

Molting was generally the time when a snake was at its weakest. If they could kill the Big White Snake while it was molting...

Nakamura Ono’s heart burned with intensity, and he excitedly gave the order, ”Everyone, advance fifty meters, then concentrate your fire on the Big White Snake.”

The ten tanks slowly approached Jiang Feng, stopping when they were fifty meters away.

Immediately after, the tank cannons aimed squarely at Jiang Feng.

Bang! Bang!

...

The cannons of the ten tanks began to fire continuously at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng did not dodge and simply let them fire.

”Haha, a snake is indeed at its weakest when molting. The Big White Snake doesn’t even have the strength to fight back now; this is the perfect time to kill it!”

Nakamura Ono laughed heartily.

”Colonel Nakamura, the snake seems completely fine,” a soldier said, appearing to notice something unusual.

Nakamura Ono’s laughter came to an abrupt halt...
