Kidnapping X Flesh Cutting
Within this area of time deceleration, Kevin was actually pushed out at normal speed and landed right next to Melusina.
The snake's Nen Aura tail stretched out and entangled the four Nen Beasts, Melusina, and Kevin together.
Swimming away from the heavy rain.
It was as if they were being treated as spoils of war.
The Rain Curtain covered a larger area than they had imagined.
Moving through the Rain Curtain.
The two remained moving extremely slowly, seemingly in a state of utter exhaustion.
They could only be passively dragged away.
Indeed, the sight of people in the Rain Curtain was as described.
For every creature that hunts with the Fast Rain, there must be one that hunts with the Reverse Rain it.
And these are all plants.
Dragged along in the rain, Kevin saw a lot.
He saw a predatory plant with a reflective membrane on its outer skin, still affected by time, but its wide-open feeding mouth emitted a suction force.
Creatures that lingered in the Reverse Rain were slowly drawn towards its mouth by this peculiar suction force.
Most of these plants that hunt against the Reverse Rain use similar methods.
He even found many plant spores in many Raindrop and saw some decaying plants.
We can roughly perceive this ecological environment.
Some plants grow and die rapidly during Fast Rain, releasing spores. Then, during Reverse Rain, the spores travel back up the sky with the Raindrop, fall in the next Fast Rain, and continue to grow rapidly, repeating this process.
However, the surrounding environment did not dispel Kevin's worries.
His current worry is: where is this snake leading them? Back to their lair?
He now roughly figured out why he and Melusina had been thrown here.
The strange scene when the snake appeared had already given him a clue.
What do he and Melusina have in common?
That was naturally the previous Resentful Eater Snake. After the serpent died, due to the Succession Ceremony and the long-term connection, a portion of its Nen Aura returned to Melusina's body.
When the snake died, Melusina increased, and this increase even gave her four additional Nen Beast Nen ability.
He also used a drug, even one made from the core parts of the body.
The numerous potions allowed his Nen ability to even simulate transformations, and also gave his body additional characteristics related to the Resentful Eater Snake.
The stone tablet at that Ruins was most likely activated because of a special attribute in Kevin's Nen ability.
They were left stranded on the Dark Continent.
The Dark Continent is so vast.
They were deliberately thrown into a place so close to the habitat of the Resentful Eater Snake, judging by the size of the Dark Continent.
Their landing point was almost within the habitat of the Resentful Eater Snake.
What a coincidence!
Such long-distance teleportation capabilities certainly have certain limitations and characteristics.
That's why the two of them were simply dumped here.
The combined appearance of the Butterfly and the Resentful Eater Snake has already proven this point.
The area they are currently in is the same area where Vipera landed.
However, from the current perspective, if we take the Snake Nest as the center, the landing point on the beach as the starting point, and their landing point as the ending point...
Vipera and his team had been operating in the first half of the operation, while Kevin and his team had been operating in the second half.
If the snake really did lead the two back to its lair, then Kevin and his companions might be able to explore to the other side of the lair and find the beach.
Then, using the notes in their Notebook, they searched for and found marine life that could help them return.
Back to the Inner Sea.
They returned to that island and reintegrated into human society via smuggling.
Kevin's brain was working at lightning speed.
This is an absolutely feasible route.
The question, however, is: what kind of future awaits these two?
Was the snake's act of kidnapping them a benevolent or malicious act?
Because of the Resentment he felt, Kevin was unable to perceive whether the snake harbored good or evil intentions.
Because Resentment is inherently malicious to humans, it is impossible to make an effective judgment about it.
That's all.
The state of slow limb movement while the mind remained unaffected continued for an unknown period of time.
The two seemed to have finally left the area.
The moment I left.
That feeling of immense weight vanished instantly.
The two were able to move immediately.
But they were still encircled by the snake, and the two looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Should we launch an attack and escape immediately?
Or should we just let things continue like this?
"Don't rush to attack. I—I feel he means no harm. She seems to see me as one of her own kind," Melusina quickly said.
"Her?" Kevin asked, puzzled. Could you even tell the gender from that?
Melusina smiled and nodded, "This snake should be considered a girl, right?" She wasn't really sure, but she just had that feeling.
"There's some risk involved. I can sense that she treats you differently than she treats me; she's a bit more aggressive towards me," Kevin, somewhat worried.
Melusina nodded, agreeing with his assessment, and even added, "She seems to find you a little odd."
If it's just strange, then it's acceptable.
At this moment, the Resentful Eater Snake stopped, but instead of loosening its tail, it turned its head back.
Her gaze wasn't on Melusina, but fixed intently on Kevin.
Being stared at like that made Kevin somewhat uncomfortable, because he felt like making a move.
However, we cannot act rashly.
Because if his reasoning is correct, this area is very likely the territory of the Resentful Eater Snake.
It was recorded in Vipera's notes.
They stole an egg, Resentful Eater Snake relentlessly pursued them, resulting in only a few of them, including Liao Liao, returning to human society. They had made thorough preparations when planning the egg theft, and after stealing it, they headed straight for the sea.
Kevin had no such plan, no more help, and no time to prepare.
If you injure or even kill your opponent, you'll be in big trouble when they start hunting you down.
Because the one in front of us was clearly a young snake, and even smaller than the one in the Village.
It's best not to provoke them.
Kevin had no choice but to turn and look at Melusina.
After sensing the situation briefly, Melusina said with some surprise, "She said—you're a bit strange, that you're my prey, and although she won't steal from me, I have to share some with her."
Kevin wasn't surprised that snakes could communicate and were intelligent, because the one he had encountered in the Village before also had that ability.
Kevin was a little confused. What did he mean by "share some with her"? Did he think he could be split in two?
That won't do.
Isn't this still a death sentence?
As if she had just realized something, Melusina quickly came over and took a dagger from Kevin's waist.
Kevin understood, that Resentful Eater Snake.
It turned out they had their eyes on his precious dagger, a lifesaver.
This is a real treasure.
Melusina stared at Kevin, her meaning clear.
"There's no other way, give it to her. This is our life-saving treasure." But if it can save my life again, then it has fulfilled its mission.
Melusina raised the dagger.
The Resentful Eater Snake shook its head excitedly, brought its massive head closer, and opened its mouth.
A strange suction force came from it.
Seemingly targeting the absorption power of the spirit, the Resentment on the dagger manifested.
A dark red aura emanated from it and surged into the mouth of the Resentful Eater Snake.
Kevin, oblivious to the heartache, focused intently on the process, studying it closely.
The Resentment on this dagger seemed to be greater than one could have imagined.
She stubbornly sucked away the Resentment from the dagger for more than ten minutes before it was completely clean, and the dagger turned into a lime-like substance and dust.
It is, after all, that it manifests as a physical entity because of its post-mortem Nen.
The snake has grown in a way that is almost visible to the naked eye.
After absorbing the energy, the Resentful Eater Snake was very happy and brought its head closer, but when it touched Kevin, it pushed him away in dissatisfaction.
They dare to come near anything.
On the other side, she gently pressed against Melusina's body, rubbing against her a few times to show affection.
Sisters, stick together.
Finally, it even arched downwards, letting Melusina rest on its head.
"Those damn money-grubbing bastards!" Kevin couldn't help but curse.
Once they've eaten and drunk their fill, their attitude immediately improves.
Just like a dog.
"Haha, she said I was very generous to share so much with her, she's very happy." With that, Melusina sat on the snake's head and floated forward, while Kevin could only stand there with his arms crossed and his four Nen Beasts, being dragged forward by their tails.
This feeling of surviving a disaster is exhilarating.
