Chapter 47

When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war.

Similarly…when it comes to something that can completely alter one’s physical qualities, no one, no matter the creature, would ever be willing to share it with others.

The crocodile king and the Reticulated Python king were both selfish.

They startled when they heard Ye Bei’s solemn words.

Deep in their hearts, they were well aware that their competitor was right in front of them. If they didn’t kill each other off right away, they would still kill each other once they actually got the Potion of Evolution. Plus, some incidents might crop up along the way—for instance, one party inciting a rebellion halfway through the journey to get rid of Ye Bei.

It was best for them to fight right here, right now.

The loser…dies!

And the winner gets everything!

Because of Ye Bei’s one simple sentence, the war that had just subsided was about to flare up once again.

“Crocodile king! We’ll stop here today. It was one of us snakes that discovered the item, so naturally, it belongs to us! If you’re courageous enough, we’ll fight another day and settle on the final winner later on in the future.”

Hiss hiss…

The Reticulated Python king stuck out his forked tongue.

It was just that he had overlooked the fact that the crocodile king couldn’t at all understand what he was saying. All he heard was hissing sounds.

Besides, due to the previous massacre, the Reticulated Python king’s mouth was full of fresh blood. When he talked, large amounts of blood constantly dripped from his tongue and onto the ground.

It was just that this way of threatening someone was simply ridiculous.

On the contrary, it caused his murderous intent to surge sharply.

As expected, when the crocodile king sensed the python king’s intent, he became a lot more decisive. With an icy glare, he straight-up ignored what the Reticulated Python king had said. Ye Bei’s words had already knocked into him the fact that he was at a disadvantage…and, at the same time, had aroused his unceasing intent to kill.

Puff puff…

He opened his mouth wide, his razor-sharp teeth terrifying to the extreme.

Hiss…

The very next moment, this crocodile king defied Ye Bei’s expectations and unreservedly chomped down on the Reticulated Python king’s body without spouting even a single word.

Each and every one of his sharp teeth plunged into the Reticulated Python king’s body.

There was a hissing sound…

Whoosh!

Then, like a water spout, bright-red blood spurted wildly from the Reticulated Python king’s body.

The excruciating pain caused the snake king to twist his body abruptly.

But the next moment, the Reticulated Python king came to his senses. He forcefully swept his body, which was over 40 meters long, through the forest, knocking thousands of giant trees down onto the ground. In less than a second, he once again ensnared the crocodile king, his blood-red eyes overflowing with the intent to kill. You could say that the crocodile king’s sneak attack had infuriated the Reticulated Python king to the extreme.

Roar roar roar…

He released roar after rambunctious roar.

“Back off! Back off!”

With the two colossal monsters fighting once again, Ye Bei’s first reaction was to issue an order to the eight Blood Pythons.

Back in the Green Zone…

The eight Blood Pythons may be at the very top of the food chain, but faced with these two monsters, they still weren’t fast enough.

Ye Bei didn’t want his loyal subordinates to die in this kind of battle accidentally.

Psss psss psss…

After receiving Ye Bei’s orders, the eight Blood Pythons weren’t at all hesitant.

They hastily fled far away, their bodies squirming.

In the meantime, when the group of mutated crocodiles and Reticulated Pythons saw their kings fight each other again, they put an end to their cease-fire and started killing one another relentlessly.

Hiss hiss hiss…

Blood splattered everywhere.

Psss psss… The Reticulated Pythons’ terrifying strangulation power was at work on the crocodiles. The pythons firmly wrapped themselves around the crocodiles, squeezing them. Under such a tight grip, the crocodiles bellowed.

“Keep on fighting, you guys! My tummy’s rumbling… Gotta grab some food for now.” The eight Blood Pythons fled.

But in such a situation, Ye Bei had no thoughts of leaving.

The crocodile king and the Reticulated Python king were the only ones that posed any threat to him, and judging by their maniacal fight, they would be tied up for a while.

“Yes, kill!” Ye Bei thought.

The more intense, the better! This way, he would have enough time to devour his prey.

He just had to devour all the mutated crocodiles and mutated pythons that died in the previous battle, complete the second stage of the Blood Reticulated Python evolution, and then come back and clean up those two monsters.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Bei wiggled his body and paced toward the swamp.

His body, which was as red as blood, was particularly eye-catching.

Naturally, the crocodile king and the Reticulated Python king picked up on Ye Bei’s movements. But so long as he was in their field of vision, they weren’t worried about him. After all, their battle with each other was more important.

After one minute…

Ye Bei successfully arrived at the edge of the swamp.

The air was thick with the stench of blood… When he took a breath, it was like sucking on blood.

His recent evolution and awakening had attracted all the living crocodiles and mutated snakes, but at this moment, they were all fighting in the distance.

As for what was left at the swamp area…for Ye Bei, they were all evolution points!

Ye Bei greedily looked at the crocodile and python corpses in the swamp.

It was bloody.

There were also white bones…

Some crocodiles had been twisted alive by the pythons until their bodies had crumbled. With even their eyeballs popping out, they died right on the spot.

Some Reticulated Pythons had been dragged into the swamp by the crocodiles and drowned alive…while some of them had their bodies ripped apart by the crocodile’s razor-sharp teeth. There were pieces of flesh everywhere.

“Devour them! Host, devour them immediately!!!”

Even the system, which was hidden in Ye Bei’s body, became excited when it saw the mountain-high pile of “evolution points.”

The system’s voice echoed maniacally in Ye Bei’s mind.

His murky eyes were bloodshot. With his mouth wide open, he unleashed a roar of excitement.

Roar!!

His sharp teeth were already prepared to tear everything apart.

It’s just that the moment Ye Bei opened his mouth, ready to devour the chunk of crocodile flesh closest to him, the voice of the system once again resounded in his mind.

“A large number of powerful mutated beasts have been discovered! Based on system analysis…these mutated beasts will provide a lot of evolution points! In addition, these mutated beasts, regardless of their strength or the level of their genes, are worth more than humans! Once you devour them, you will gain a variable amount of evolution points and unexpected rewards.”

The system’s voice came very abruptly.

But when Ye Bei heard this, deep down, he was ecstatic!

Sure enough, good things happen every day…

According to the system, these massive mutated beasts in front of him were actually worth more evolution points than humans.

That would mean that by devouring one of them, perhaps he would acquire 20,000 evolutions points or 30,000 evolution points?

Or maybe even 100,000 evolution points?

As for how many points they were worth, at this moment, even with his authority, he was unable to get a specific number.

What’s more, this was only secondary…

Ye Bei noticed that the system had even mentioned unexpected rewards!!!

One must know that in the very beginning, when Ye Bei had eaten the mystic pearl, he had acquired a treasure chest.

If he were to devour all of these pythons and crocodiles, would he once again acquire another treasure box? A golden treasure box or a diamond treasure box? Or maybe something even more valuable?

This was absolutely something he should be happy about.

When Ye Bei thought about all this, his appetite surged.

Roar!

He opened his mouth, his sharp teeth instantaneously plunging into the body of a massive crocodile!

The very moment he plunged his teeth into the massive crocodile’s body, a gust of cold energy immediately spread all over his entire body… This energy was different from the scorching energy from before.

Evolution!

Could it be that…he had gained a reward with his first bite??
