Chapter 5: Kill

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The five-step snake, which is called Deinagkistrodon, is a venomous monotypic snake in the family Viperidae.

As for why Bai Chuan was so clear about it, other than the fact that its toxicity was indeed strong, it was mostly because of the netizens in his previous life. What did he mean by falling in five steps after being bitten by this snake? Wouldn’t he be able to reach the hospital after taking four steps and borrowing a step from everyone?

After knowing who the attacker was, Bai Chuan first relaxed, then became angry.

Alright, you’re just a fat snake that’s less than 1.5 meters tall, a DD-rank character in the internal strife of poisonous snakes, and you actually dare to attack a dignified King Cobra who’s known as the “Viper King” and “Viper Fiend”? Aren’t you courting death?!

In the next moment, Bai Chuan’s eyes were filled with hostility. He raised his upper body and stretched his neck, looking as domineering as a cloaked king.

In an instant, a huge shadow enveloped the short and fat snake. Comparing the two was like an adult to a child.

Seeing this, the Deinagkistrodon panicked a little. Because the difference in size was too great, it helplessly began to admit defeat. It lowered its head and did not dare to raise it high. It arched its body vigilantly and hissed, as if telling him, “I’m not to be trifled with. Don’t come over!” It wanted to retreat.

But could Bai Chuan let it leave? It ran away after the attack. Did he really think that he was useless? How could there be such a good thing in the world! His snake head arched and shot forward, instantly diving down from above.

Seeing this, the Deinagkistrodon, who had been staring at him, was also shocked. At the same time, its snake body, which had been arched, popped out. It opened its mouth and bit.

In an instant, Bai Chuan felt a slight itch on his neck. It was a warning that the enemy’s attack point was here.

Seeing this, Bai Chuan smiled. He had been waiting for this moment!

In the next moment, his head suddenly stopped mid-diving and he used the strength of his strong body to pull back, successfully avoiding the bite of the Deinagkistrodon. Then, when it had used up all its strength, he suddenly opened his snake mouth. Two sharp fangs popped out and stabbed into the soft neck of the Deinagkistrodon.

A huge amount of lethal venom began to be injected. The entire process ended in a blink of an eye. The entire process was as if the Deinagkistrodon had extended its weakness to Bai Chuan’s mouth for him to bite.

In fact, that was not the case. This was because Bai Chuan knew the habits of snakes. Or rather, snakes could not withstand teasing. He first used the ability, Danger Perception. He gently made a feint that he was about to attack, causing the Deinagkistrodon to counterattack. In fact, he did not use much strength during the entire process.

Then, the moment he sensed danger, he immediately pulled his upper body back. After his opponent’s attack power was exhausted, he quickly bit the opponent’s vital points and took down the Deinagkistrodon without any injuries.

This was probably the huge help brought about by his intelligence as a human. If one did not scheme against others, who would be at an advantage?

Being at a disadvantage in nature meant being injured and dying. Although he could easily take down this Deinagkistrodon even if he followed the normal King Cobra’s head-on fighting style, it was hard to say if he would be injured.

After all, no matter how thick and hard his scales were, no matter how high his poison resistance was, there was still a chance of him being injured and killed, although the possibility was less than 1%.

But wouldn’t it be better if he was unharmed? Even a ferocious beast as powerful as a tiger knew how to sneak attack and take away its prey to prevent any resistance.

No matter how arrogant he was, he would not give up on human intelligence.

Five minutes later, Bai Chuan looked at the two stiff snakes lying on the ground and felt conflicted.

Which one should he eat? He was only about three meters tall now, and these two snakes were more than two meters tall and 1.4 meters tall respectively. He could only eat one at most.

After some consideration, he finally gave up on the brocade snake. He really could not think of any useful abilities of the brocade snake, but the Deinagkistrodon had an ability that he had coveted for a long time.

Thermal sensors! Also known as thermal cheek cavities, infrared sensors.

This ability was a special ability unique to the Viper subfamily and the python subfamily. In the Viper subfamily, it was known as the thermal cheek nest. In the python subfamily, it was known as the labial nest.

It could sense the heat of the outside world and form an image in its mind. The image was infrared thermal imaging. This was simply a super weapon to find food or avoid enemies.

Although he couldn’t evolve it without points, the opportunity to obtain this ability model was right in front of him. How could he bear to give it up?

Bai Chuan couldn’t bear to give it up. If he missed this opportunity, who knew when he would meet it again?

After making up his mind, Bai Chuan began to eat.

Therefore, he discovered another huge weakness of snakes, a huge weakness that existed no matter what kind of snake it was!

When he was eating, he was at his weakest. If an enemy appeared at this time, he could not resist at all.

Yes, he could not resist at all. Because when he swallowed half of the heavy and huge food, his biggest weapon, the mouth that he relied on to survive, was blocked by the food… blocked…

At this moment, it would take time for him to spit out the food again or completely swallow it. And when an accident happened, would he still have time to counterattack?

In the past, when he did not have the ability to change everything, he did not care much. After all, it was useless to think too much. He could only endure it helplessly. But now that he had a chance to change, he could not stand this flaw anymore!

In addition, if he caught enough food in the future and couldn’t finish it, would he have to be conflicted and only choose one? Or should he eat on the spot before leaving? Snakes were weak when they were full.

“Hiss~ Why do I find so many flaws in snakes the more I think about it?” As he thought about it, Bai Chuan suddenly realized that snakes had many flaws. Then, was there an ultimate creature that was similar to a snake but more perfect?

One where it has the snake’s extremely agile body and it was not in a weakened state when it ate, in addition, it could bring food to a safer place to eat at any time instead of having to eat on the spot before leaving?

“I’ve decided. The next step is to gradually resolve the flaws of snakes on the way to becoming stronger!”

After discovering the snake’s flaw, Bai Chuan set his first small goal!

“My Spicy Strips!” After eating and drinking his fill, Bai Chuan looked at the food that had been abandoned a few more times regretfully before reluctantly leaving.

There was no need to worry about waste. In this beautiful nature, nothing would be wasted. That would probably be eaten up by a bunch of small animals soon, such as ants, birds, various insects, and even rats.

In this beautiful and cruel nature, you’re either the one eating or the one being eaten. No matter how glorious you were when you were alive, a roar would shake the forest and all beasts would submit.

After he died, he would become a handful of yellow soil.
