A slender figure raised its head from the stream. It was a Striped Viper nearly twenty meters long, its tongue hissing as fear filled its scarlet vertical pupils.
"Are you threatening me?"
This Striped Viper was also a Tier 2 Supernatural Creature.
But whether in size or strength, it was far inferior to Little Boa. They were not even on the same level.
At that moment, the golden Anaconda extended its head from the clouds and mist. Its eyes were icy as it looked down at the panicked Striped Viper below, an immense pressure almost taking physical form.
"Food should know its place as food."
The Anaconda's voice was cold. It had no sympathy at all for these aberrant beasts affected by the Red Moon.
Striped Vipers loved eating snake eggs, while the Black Giant Bird was the natural enemy of snakes. Their feud had begun before they had even been born.
After entering the Extraordinary Domain, neither side showed the slightest mercy when fighting.
The strong preyed upon the weak; the fittest survived.
That had always been the most naked law of survival in this forest.
Little Boa opened its mouth. Inside its enormous jaws was utter darkness, and a powerful pulling force surged forth.
The Striped Viper struggled fiercely, wrapping its powerful tail around a stone pillar beside it. But it was useless. Along with the pillar and the severed stream, it was pulled away.
Its massive body, more than twenty meters long, was lifted entirely into the sky.
Hiss!
In desperation, the Striped Viper spat out a vast cloud of sickly green mist, nearly engulfing the Anaconda's entire head.
Yet the poisonous mist had almost no effect on Little Boa.
Its beautiful golden scales still gleamed brightly, showing no sign of dimming.
Rumble!
The suction from its enormous mouth suddenly increased severalfold.
"Hundred-Foot Centipede... won't let you go!"
The exhausted Striped Viper could no longer struggle. Along with a mess of stones and wood, it was swallowed whole by Little Boa.
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
It spat out the large stones it had accidentally swallowed.
Its long tail stretched out, coiling around the Black Giant Bird's corpse and stuffing it into its mouth in a few quick bites as well.
Gulp!
Accompanied by a heavy swallowing sound.
Two Great Yokai renowned throughout this forest were buried in the serpent's belly just like that, becoming history forever.
"Delicious... ehehe!"
Within the Consciousness Space, the Anaconda let out an adorable laugh completely at odds with the majesty of its physical body.
"You did well."
Little Boa's own consciousness had been responsible for the battle. At that moment, Su Heng was more like an observer.
"With this, this forest has more or less been cleared out..."
After confirming that there was nothing left in the forest capable of threatening his Anaconda's life.
Su Heng declared his sovereignty over this jungle in an almost tyrannical manner.
Those powerful Great Yokai, whose glorious reputations had been passed down through countless tales, were swallowed one after another and became nourishment for its growth.
Devour Talent had been at work all along.
Ever since its strength had stabilized, the Anaconda had continued growing at a rapid pace.
In just over ten days, Little Boa's size had nearly doubled, reaching an astonishing length of more than a hundred meters.
With such a massive body, combined with the formidable strength brought by abundant vitality, the Anaconda could now influence the terrain to some extent.
"As long as the Red Moon remains, the mutated beasts in the forest can never truly be exterminated."
Su Heng raised his head and looked at the Red Moon in the western sky, which had yet to fully set. His gaze was distant.
"But that is actually a good thing."
Humans were the most forgetful creatures. If the Monsters in this forest disappeared completely, it would not be long before the humans living in this jungle cast their faith in the great snake aside.
Therefore, only by Devouring and driving away those ferocious Monsters, while allowing lesser Monsters to continue harassing humans.
Could they maintain humanity's faith in the Anaconda to the greatest extent possible, allowing Su Heng to gain more True Points through this opportunity.
"Hiss... I don't know why, but the Red Moon's power has been getting stronger and stronger lately."
Little Boa's childish voice suddenly sounded.
The morning mist dispersed, and the Red Moon's outline vanished from the sky.
"The Red Moon's power waxes and wanes in cycles, but clearly, over the past few years, it has grown increasingly powerful. Sometimes, that ominous moon can even be seen during the day."
Su Heng casually explained it to Little Boa.
He had not reached those conclusions himself. They had been summarized by researchers after detailed surveys.
"Mm-hm..."
Little Boa could not be bothered to think about such complicated matters.
To it, the Red Moon was merely a moon. It brought no enhancement and had no harmful effects either.
It was simply that as the Red Moon's power increased, the Monsters in the forest would become increasingly nutritious.
So...
For the Anaconda, that should count as a good thing.
"What utterly unmatched power!"
The young monk Renguang, dressed in white robes, stood atop a high hill near Shenjian Village.
He overlooked the scenery below.
The villagers of Shenjian Village had spent a long time wandering outside, so they possessed considerable experience in building houses.
They used wood for support, mud bricks to build a frame, then covered it with a layer of thatch.
In just two or three days, they could build an earthen house that stayed warm in winter and cool in summer.
People who lived in the wilderness were diligent and brave, able to adapt to all kinds of harsh conditions. In merely ten days or so, the destroyed village had already been restored to its former state.
Its scale had even seemingly expanded somewhat.
The most conspicuous building in the entire village was the temple by the lake.
Sparrows searching for food lingered beside the temple decorated with flowers of every color. Dew covered the grass, and the scene looked utterly peaceful.
As ordinary mortals, the villagers found it difficult to understand the giant snake's strength.
But Renguang, whose senses were exceptionally sharp toward yokai aura, was different. Over the past ten days or so, he had sensed powerful yokai auras vanishing from the forest one after another.
Without a sound, those Great Yokai who were not unknown even in Moon Country, once targeted by that Snake God.
Were as weak and helpless as chicks, utterly incapable of resistance.
Whoosh!
A gaunt monk appeared behind Renguang.
The monk's complexion was waxy yellow, and he wore a crimson kasaya. His arms were as thin as dead branches. When the mountain wind blew, his kasaya swayed as though it had been hung upon a clothes rack.
From afar, he gave off a cold and strange impression.
Upon noticing the newcomer, Renguang was startled at first. Then uncontrollable delight rose on his face, and he could not help shouting, "Master, why are you here?"
