As If Seeing a God (Thanks to Nameless Flower Rain for the Donation!)

Rinzi opened her eyes, filled with confusion.

Then her lips parted slightly, and her eyes widened as she was stunned by the miraculous sight before her.

It was a gigantic Golden Boa. The morning sunlight shone fiercely upon its dark golden scales, making them gleam and reflect dazzling light.

As for that vicious, brutal demon—

It was swallowed whole by the Anaconda like a toy at someone's mercy, leaving only two ridiculous bluish-black legs kicking and struggling in midair.

Crack!

The giant snake's throat muscles contracted.

A crisp series of cracks came from the demon's body. Its spine had likely been snapped, and after its exposed legs twitched for a while, they stopped moving.

With a deft ripple of muscle, the demon was swallowed entirely into the giant snake's stomach.

The Devour Talent quickly took effect. The demon's body was digested and broken down in the Anaconda's stomach, and the nutrients it became were rapidly absorbed.

They might have been ugly, but these demons tasted rather good.

What pleased Su Heng even more was that after digesting this demon, the Anaconda's vitality, which had already reached its limit, rose once again.

Did that mean that if he devoured enough demons, he might be able to reach an entirely new level of life?

"One, two, three... nine. And that big guy hiding in the mountains. You'll get a good meal this time."

Su Heng sent a message to Little Snake's consciousness.

Little Snake could not understand it.

But within the Mental Space, Little Snake's consciousness responded with a burst of joyful bouncing.

Neither the humans nor the demons surrounding the mountain village had expected such an uninvited guest to suddenly appear.

The villagers let out a sigh of relief.

Though this golden Anaconda looked terrifying as well, compared to those man-eating demons, it seemed far friendlier.

As for the demons, they let out furious roars at the giant snake that had interrupted their hunt.

These blue-faced, fanged creatures were utterly mad. Even when their companion died before their eyes, they showed not the slightest fear.

Instead, two fearless demons waved their mismatched weapons and flanked the giant snake from both front and rear.

Hiss...

After devouring that unlucky demon just now,

Su Heng had roughly judged these creatures' level of strength. It was not that their struggling could not be felt at all.

It was more that before it even began, it was already over.

It was like accidentally stepping on an insect while walking along a mountain path. They simply did not exist on the same level.

Only after truly fighting humanoid creatures did Su Heng realize how terrifying the power boost brought by Little Snake's twenty points of vitality was.

These terrifying Mutated Creatures, each with physical abilities nearly at the limit of humanity,

were like rag dolls before Little Snake, casually mauled and unable to offer even the slightest effective resistance.

Thus, the next two demons were unlucky.

Relying on its powerful core strength, the muscles running through its entire body suddenly tensed, and the Anaconda whipped its tail.

The demon sneaking up from behind was struck as though hit head-on by a dump truck. Its chest exploded, its upper and lower body separated, and bright red organs and shattered white bones rained down from the sky.

The demon in front was dumbfounded.

They might have been mad, but they were not entirely without fear. After seeing its companion's miserable state,

this demon lost its nerve and tried to flee. In doing so, it made a fatal mistake: it exposed its back to a dangerous hunter.

Of course, even if it had made no mistake, the moment demons entered Little Snake's sight, their fates were already sealed.

As it ran desperately, the demon suddenly discovered that the clear weather had turned gloomy.

It looked up in confusion, only to see a Dark Red, abyss-like bloody maw above its head.

Crack!

That unlucky demon was swallowed from head to toe.

Only then did the demons surrounding the village finally begin to feel fear.

They had no choice but to abandon the tasty food before them and race into the forest even faster than they had come.

"Wouldn't it be better to obediently accept your fate?"

The upper body of the more than twenty-meter-long Golden Boa rose upright, its dark golden pupils reflecting the demons' panicked flight.

Driven by hunger, the Anaconda became like a gust of wind.

With a howl, it shredded the demons into scraps scattered across the ground...

Just as Su Heng stopped to enjoy his spoils, a faint tremor came from the ground.

"Has that big guy finally lost his patience?"

Snakes might have poor eyesight, but their sense of smell was exceptionally sharp. They could distinguish the faint scents left behind when prey passed through the forest.

From the moment Su Heng entered this mountain village, he had sensed that a stronger demon with the bearing of a leader was still lurking nearby.

Boom!

Accompanied by a dull rumble,

a mud house built from packed earth and dry grass completely collapsed, throwing up clouds of yellow dust.

The dust gradually settled.

A gigantic demon two to three times larger than an ordinary demon appeared before Su Heng.

Unlike ordinary demons, this one had brownish-red skin, its fangs stained with blackish-red blood. It held a black wooden club in its left hand, while its right hand clutched a woman's leg that had been torn off alive.

"What a bunch of trash!"

The demon cackled. As the boss, it only needed to stay in its nest and enjoy the prey.

Yet this time, things had unexpectedly gone wrong.

For some unknown reason, such a huge creature had appeared out of nowhere in the once-peaceful mountain village.

As a result, all its underlings had perished here, and this especially massive, vicious demon had gone from being the big boss to a loner.

It was furious, nearly to the point of losing its mind.

After babbling a string of curses in words Su Heng could not understand,

it tossed aside the severed leg in its hand, raised its club, and charged at Su Heng with a shriek.

"Is this a Second Stage lifeform?"

Compared to the earlier blue-skinned demons, this one was not only larger but also smarter. It even knew how to exploit its underlings.

However, Su Heng did not have much time to think it over.

By then, the demon leader's thick legs were moving swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached Su Heng.

"Since it's a Tier-Two Lifeform, I should show it a little more respect."

The dark golden Anaconda flicked its tongue.

Then it gathered roughly one-fifth of its strength into its tail and swung it viciously.

Whoosh!

The golden tail was like lightning hurled down by the god of thunder.

It smashed into the center of the demon leader's chest. Its hard ribs shattered instantly, while its organs and muscles churned like raging waves.

The demon leader's simple mind was instantly filled with regret, but it would never again have the chance to think about such things.
