Too Big—There's No Way It'll Fit, No Matter How You Think About It (Please Bookmark)

Seeing that Little Boa had listened to him,

Su Heng let out a sigh of relief and took control of Little Boa's body again.

After painstakingly killing a Caiman Crocodile several times its size, it was time to enjoy the spoils.

However,

looking at the Caiman Crocodile's enormous body, Su Heng found himself at a loss.

"It's so big. It won't fit—there's no way it'll fit, no matter how you think about it."

"If I force this thing in, it'll definitely break..."

The dark golden Anaconda flicked its tongue as it circled the Caiman Crocodile's massive corpse beneath the dusk-lit primeval forest.

Within the spiritual world,

the brighter orb of consciousness belonging to Little Boa continuously conveyed urgent hunger and anxiety.

For this Little Boa, which had only been born not long ago,

going hungry was undoubtedly the most painful thing in its life. And if there was anything more painful than going hungry,

it was having fragrant, delicious food right in front of it, yet being unable to eat it and only able to stare...

Su Heng had no solution for the moment.

Anacondas primarily fed by swallowing.

When they caught relatively large wild animals, Anacondas would also perform some simple processing on their prey.

They would use their long, powerful bodies to coil tightly around their prey and squeeze it into a long strip, lubricate it with saliva, and then swallow it.

But the Caiman Crocodile before him was more than three or four times the size of Little Snake.

Before growing to a certain size, Little Snake had no chance of swallowing this enormous Caiman Crocodile.

It could not even coil around the Caiman Crocodile once.

"Do I have no choice but to give up?"

If they left now, before long, the Caiman Crocodile's corpse would be devoured clean by vultures circling overhead and predators drawn by the scent of blood.

Even with the Devour Talent and Su Heng's help, Little Snake's growth rate was astonishing.

But by the time it returned, all it would see would be scattered bones—perhaps not even bones would remain.

Skipping one meal was not a big deal, but seeing Little Boa constantly send him aggrieved, hungry emotions, Su Heng felt that if he simply left like this, he might leave the child with some psychological trauma.

"Caring for the mental health of underage snakes starts with me!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Heng decided to stay and figure something out.

Just then,

he suddenly noticed that the Caiman Crocodile he had just killed seemed to have deflated somewhat.

Pink liquid was also continuously gushing from the bright red wound atop the Caiman Crocodile's head...

"What is this?"

Su Heng anchored himself to the Caiman Crocodile with his tail, then tore open the wound with his teeth.

He did not use his two newly grown Venomous Fangs, but the enormous outer teeth in the Anaconda's mouth that resembled huge nails.

Perhaps because of the neurotoxin, the Caiman Crocodile's hide had loosened considerably and was easily torn open by Su Heng.

Large amounts of bright red meat juice, mixed with muscles dissolved into fibrous strands, flowed from the torn wound.

"Hiss... Did the neurotoxin dissolve the crocodile's muscles?"

Neurotoxins had a strong inhibitory effect on various biological enzymes in the brain, muscles, and blood.

During the battle just now, Su Heng had injected nearly all the venom secreted by Little Boa's venom glands into the Caiman Crocodile's body.

It was possible that part of the Caiman Crocodile's muscles had been dissolved by the venom.

But Su Heng had no time to think further. Driven by hunger, he began tearing at the crocodile's skin, sucking up the dissolved muscles, then devouring the crocodile's fatty internal organs, brain...

It took several hours.

The entire Caiman Crocodile, including its thick bones and torn hide, was swallowed into Su Heng's stomach.

The Devour Talent continued to take effect.

A languid feeling arose within Su Heng's body, as though he were soaking in a hot spring, leaving him light and comfortable.

"Mmm, this is the first time I've felt full. That's really rare."

Rustle, rustle~

At that moment, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

Su Heng curled up beneath a protruding boulder, admiring the rain before him while rapidly digesting the food in his stomach.

The Devour Talent made the Anaconda's stomach like a furnace.

Before long, an entire Caiman Crocodile had been completely digested.

Congratulations, you have devoured a Mutated Caiman Crocodile. Vitality increased by 3.01. Body length increased by 4.21 meters.

Devour Talent activated successfully. You have gained a new talent, 'Robust Growth.'

Robust Growth (Common): Tier-One Lifeforms gain twice their maximum vitality.

After devouring the Caiman Crocodile, Little Boa's body length had nearly doubled, while its weight had almost tripled. Little Boa was now nearly ten meters long, a giant wild animal that had reached adult size.

If it encountered that Caiman Crocodile again, even without the help of its Venomous Fangs,

Little Boa could easily crush the Caiman Crocodile's bones into fragments with its enormous body.

"And it even gained a new talent..."

After all, the chance of the Devour Talent activating successfully was extremely low. Su Heng was quite surprised that it had managed to steal a talent.

Of course, he felt even more delighted.

With a thought, Little Boa's life panel appeared before Su Heng.

First Template: Anaconda (Female)

Status: Lazy

Life Level: 1

Vitality: 6.12 (Average: 5, Maximum: 20)

Bond Level: 3 (Current template bonus: 50%)

Body Length: 8.78 meters

Age: 0.1 years

Template Traits: Devour (Rare), Venomous Fangs (Common), Robust Growth (Common)

"Maximum vitality has risen to twenty?"

Looking at the numbers on the panel, Su Heng fell into thought.

"Looks like Little Snake's original maximum vitality was already twice that of an ordinary Anaconda. After gaining Robust Growth, it increased again and became this rather ridiculous number."

"And the Bond Level between Little Snake and me also increased because of that battle."

Overall,

although the battle they had just experienced had been dangerous, the gains were unimaginably generous.

Once Little Snake successfully entered the Tier-Two Lifeform stage,

both Su Heng and Little Boa's Bond Level and Life Level would meet the requirements. At that point, he could attempt to merge the template into real life.

What would he become after merging the template?

A snake?

A human?

Or perhaps half-human, half-snake?

Su Heng's heart was filled with anticipation...
