Chapter 539 Mine!

Chapter 539 Mine!

With the strange corpses scattered all over the place, everyone could only move forward with heavy hearts. This time, the General's red blood eyes scanned across the masses. His already towering physique and cobra wide back made everyone flinch back when he turned around and looked at them dead in the eye. Even those who were used to working with him before were shocked by the murderous raw energy he was emitting. "Pull those crooked ears of yours and listen well. We won't be having any more funny business from anyone..." "Try it... I dare you to try touching anything again and see what will happen." If whatever is here doesn't kill them, then he would gladly take up the challenge.

As they say, a word to the wise is enough. But hold on... why can everyone suddenly understand each other? General Obediah's pupils dilated in a split second, before returning back to normal, staring at Dorian with reverence. Hitchcoff pushed his glasses in, also staring at Dorian's group deep in thought. 'It seems I really don't know much about the world. But it doesn't make any sense. What sort of monster can do this to a corpse?'

An unimaginable switch turned in their minds, as they slowly lowered their heads to give a good stare at sight far below. Holy Moly! Before, they were wondering whether to take the stairway down, or whether to continue on with the suspended stone bridges. But now, it seems fate has made the choice for them after all. The biologist in the group released a heavy breath, slowly etching to the edge with a trembling body that wasn't of fear... but excitement? "Sand Red line snakes!... How can they be so big?" Dropping to his knees and hunching over to stare at the many babies that were twirling and intertwining below, the biologist almost wished he could fly down there and get samples. "Careful, professor Bohania!" A well-decorated soldier from the biologist's country called, almost having a heart attack after seeing Bohania push a few rocks that fell below, as if in cinematic suspense. "Professor, please step back! I've been informed to protect you with my life, so don't make me act rash." As one of their country's treasures, who has many international awards and accolades, Bohania was a pride their country wasn't willing to lose. Other biologists also inches in closer, shocked by how Large these sand snakes were. "Impossible! How can they grow so big? Mutation? Is there radioactive matter fizzling in the air?" "Exactly! What did they eat or experience growing so big?" A few soldiers furrowed their brows, taking in bits and pieces of news in frightening wonder. According to these biologists, sand snakes are no longer than 3 fingers going together. As for length, they couldn't grow longer than 5 feet. Everyone stared at the spine-tingling sight below, feeling their blood go numb. "We-... we are going to cross over them?" A soft shivering voice asked. It was a female soldier whose number one fear was slithering, crawling creatures. You say these snakes shouldn't grow bigger than 3 fingers or longer than 5 feet. But why did each look like they could swallow a fully grown human without stress and still have enough room for a dog too? "Hold on! We can't just go ahead without collecting their samples!" Bohania advised, when seeing Dorian lead the way towards the suspended path far, high above the snakes down below.

A flash of greed flickered through his eyes, no one knowing what his thoughts were. 'If... if I can take a smoke and recreate it in my lab, then...'

Bohania was ecstatic, thinking of all the fame that will come to him once he succeeds. But why stop at this size? What if he can make it 10 or even 50 times larger? 'Mine, mine, mine! I must get this fame alone!'
