Delicious Snake Meat

Xuan Ye looked at his entangled arm and saw a deep indentation. "No, this can't go on. If this continues, the blood in my arm won't circulate, and my strength will gradually weaken. Then the venomous snake will escape."

"If the snake had run away at that time, that would have been fine. But what if the snake didn't run away and instead bit me? That would have been a truly tragic outcome."

Xuan Ye silently estimated the amount of chakra in his body and felt that if he gathered all his chakra and used the A-rank Ninjutsu Wind Release: Half-Moon Slash without hand seals, he should be able to cut the snake's body.

"There's nothing we can do about it! Who would have thought that although this venomous snake isn't very strong, it has such a beautiful skin! Just that black snake skin alone means that when I apply my power to that venomous snake, only one-tenth of it remains, maybe even less."

If we go by the standards of the previous life, this venomous snake's physical defense is simply insane; we just don't know how much magic resistance it has.

Having already devised a plan in his mind, he then channeled all the chakra in his body into his two hands, which were tightly gripping the snake's head.

Gradually, the strength in the two hands gripping the snake's head seemed to increase, and as time passed, more and more chakra flowed into their palms.

Since the Wind Release Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash was to be used this time, the wind-style chakra in the palms of the hands that were gripping the snake's head gradually became active.

Suddenly, the venomous snake in Xuan Ye's hand struggled more fiercely, perhaps sensing that something that could threaten its life was gradually approaching.

But how could Xuan Ye let the venomous snake struggle at this moment? If the snake successfully broke free from his grasp and then bit back, that would be an outcome that Xuan Ye definitely did not want to see.

Xuan Ye, due to the snake's frantic struggle, also exerted all his strength. The arm that was entangled by the snake was also being wrapped tighter and tighter by the snake's body, making it difficult for blood to circulate. His right arm, which was entangled, gradually became redder and redder, and the bulging blue veins were very obvious in the air.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Xuan Ye shouted towards the sky, as if to express his pain and to strengthen his resolve.

I don't know if it's because my arm is entangled, but the speed of chakra circulation has become a bit slow. Under normal circumstances, it would only take two or three seconds to perform the Wind Release Ninjutsu Half-Moon Slash, but now it took more than ten seconds to circulate the chakra to my arm.

At this moment, all of Xuan Ye's chakra was gathered in his palms, and his wind-attribute chakra was extremely active. Due to the frantic gathering of wind-attribute chakra above his palms, gusts of wind appeared.

Gusts of wind continuously emanated from his palms. Xuan Ye thought to himself, "It's about time. Wind Release: Half-Moon Slash."

Instantly, Xuan Ye's wind-attribute chakra began to circulate wildly, eventually forming a tiny Ninjutsu on his palm that was gripping the snake's head: Wind Release Half-Moon Slash.

The Half-Moon Slash: Crescent Wind Release Ninjutsu this time to deal with the poisonous snake is only about half the size of a palm, but don't underestimate its power just because it's small.

Because of its reduced size and the concentration of all the chakra at the Xuan Ye trainee ninja level, the power of the Wind Release: Half-Moon Slash Wind Release Ninjutsu in his palm was actually increased by a level.

Xuan Ye's arm trembled, and he unleashed the Ninjutsu Release: Half-Moon Slash Wind Release on the snake's head, which was being held in place. A tiny crescent-shaped wind blade appeared above the snake's head.

"Puff!"

A sound of flesh being cleaved rang out, and a spurt of blood gushed from the snake's head, which then fell to the ground instantly.

Seeing this, Xuan Ye's mood gradually improved. The venomous snake that had posed a threat to him was now dead, and his breakfast was secured, so he no longer needed to search for it.

Xuan Ye looked at the headless corpse of the venomous snake in his hand and couldn't help but grin helplessly. He silently sighed in his heart, "The world is truly full of wonders! Although this venomous snake has no chakra, its physical strength has reached the level of Genin."

"But the most important point is not that. The most important point is the snake's skin. Its slippery skin can actually weaken the power I use."

"This makes it so that someone with the physical strength of Chunin -level person, and with a fourfold physical amplification from the second-level Divine Combat Skill Taijutsu, can't even crush a snake. People who don't know the truth might laugh at me!"

I was feeling a bit down, but the sight of the headless snake's carcass instantly dispelled my gloom. That headless snake must taste pretty good!

"Isn't there a dish in China called snake soup? I think it's called snake soup! The taste of snake soup is really delicious."

Thinking about it, Xuan Ye glanced at the backpack on his back again and shook his head helplessly. He didn't have a pot on him at all! How could he make snake soup without a pot? Snake soup has broth.

Looks like I'll have to roast that snake again! Oh well, roasting it probably won't taste too bad.

After deciding how to eat the venomous snake, I found a stream and washed the snake's body. After all, it was a snake, and its body needed to be washed properly to make it clean!

After washing, Xuan Ye picked up a few branches, built a frame, pierced the snake's flesh with a thin branch, and roasted it over a fire.

Ten minutes later, a fragrance emanated from the snake, a fragrance that was indescribable.

Furthermore, because he had fought a fierce battle with the venomous snake without eating breakfast, all of his chakra was used up, and he was physically exhausted. Although his chakra had basically recovered, the feeling of hunger was getting stronger and stronger.

Xuan Ye added some seasonings, but he didn't really know much about cooking. The seasonings he added were just salt, spices, and chili. He decided to skip the sugar.

After the snake was cooked, Xuan Ye immediately picked it up and, ignoring its temperature, took a bite.

While eating, Xuan Ye silently thought to himself, "Brother Poisonous Snake! Brother Poisonous Snake, since you intended to harm me, then you can't blame me for eating you. Besides, I'm doing this so that you can be reincarnated sooner. Remember to be reborn into a good family in your next life!"

However, Xuan Ye's attention was quickly drawn away by the snake's meat.

"Mmm! It's really delicious. The snake meat is absolutely amazing. Although the seasonings don't quite match, the freshness and tenderness of the snake meat completely mask the shortcomings of the seasonings."

Soon, a snake with not much meat entered Xuan Ye's mouth, and after eating it, he was truly left with a lingering aftertaste.

Having lived two lives, Xuan Ye had never tasted such delicious snake meat before. Perhaps choosing to come out and train wasn't so painful after all! At least he might be able to eat this delicacy again in a few days.
