Invincible Snake Emperor-Chapter 163 - 161: Hundreds of Thousands of Venomous Snakes Emerge

Clearly, the venomous snakes in this Snake Gully were anything but ordinary.

The more this was the case, the more curious and greedy Tu Xiao'an became for the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Without a doubt, it was a treasure capable of enhancing a creature's bloodline and allowing it to break through its physical limitations. He had to get his hands on it.

However, the Vampire Snake already had a head start and was surely deep within Snake Gully by now.

Tu Xiao'an continued to hurry along with the main group, flying swiftly. He was just about to overtake the ten-meter-long Black Mamba.

The Black Mamba was already the fastest-crawling venomous snake in existence. Yet, its increased size hadn't affected its speed in the slightest; if anything, it was moving at an astonishing pace.

It could definitely keep up with a sports car.

As the saying goes in Martial Arts, speed reigns supreme. Not only was this creature's attack speed fast, but its crawling speed was just as impressive.

Just then, Tu Xiao'an, in his small snake form, flew above the Black Mamba's head. The giant snake's pupils revealed a look of astonishment. A snake flying through the air—it was a scene that would startle anyone.

Even having grown to ten meters, with its level of intelligence, it couldn't comprehend how this little snake was able to fly.

How was it so damn cool? The Black Mamba was starting to question its own existence as a snake.

Tu Xiao'an, however, was quietly thinking to himself. 'These snakes are all rushing toward the depths of Snake Gully. They must know something. Why not let them lead the way?'

And so, the flying Gold and Silver Snake began to descend toward the Black Mamba's head. 'Guess I'll let this big fella be my mount for a while.'

ROAR—!

There was no way the Black Mamba would agree. It threw its head back and roared. Humans have their dignity, and snakes have theirs—especially a Black Mamba that had grown into a ten-meter Giant Snake.

A ten-meter Black Mamba like this would be worth a fortune on the open market.

Its value would be no less than that of a rare Snake Species.

'Hmph. Being the mount of a Snake King like me is your honor.'

Tu Xiao'an gave the frenzied Black Mamba a cold, indifferent glance. His Snake Gaze narrowed, and a kingly Qi surged forth.

Instantly, the Black Mamba looked utterly shocked. Then, seized by terror, it immediately flattened itself to the ground and lowered its proud head. All the venomous snakes in the long gully stopped in their tracks, trembling uncontrollably as if welcoming their emperor.

Tu Xiao'an floated down lightly onto the Black Mamba's head. The big creature was docile now, not daring to show the slightest hint of defiance.

"Go."

At Tu Xiao'an's command, the Black Mamba resumed its journey, and the surrounding venomous snakes also returned to normal.

In the natural world, higher-level creatures possess a degree of intelligence. Even if they don't, they have instincts. For any creature, lowering its head is a sign of submission to a stronger being.

Tu Xiao'an's aura was far too powerful. How could these snakes that had yet to Awaken possibly contend with it?

If he wished, he could subdue the Black Mamba with a single thought.

However, Tu Xiao'an had a vague premonition that an even more exceptional Snake Species was waiting for him in the depths of Snake Gully.

For now, this Black Mamba would have to do as a temporary mount.

As they followed the winding gully, Tu Xiao'an lay comfortably on the Black Mamba's back. The venomous snake's crawling speed was truly incredible; in the blink of an eye, they had traveled a kilometer.

Soon, the terrain ahead changed, opening up into a vast, flat expanse. Suddenly, Tu Xiao'an was stunned. In the space of just a few dozen breaths, he saw countless venomous snakes pouring in from all directions. There were thousands, tens of thousands—no, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there were hundreds of thousands.

There were so many venomous snakes, both large and small, that even he, the Snake King, was startled. The massive swarm surged forward like a tide, all with the same destination: the depths of Snake Gully. They were all drawn in by a peculiar fragrance hanging in the air.

It was hard to imagine the sheer number of venomous snakes. As far as the eye could see, the open land was filled with them pouring in from every direction. The variety of species was even more staggering. It was said that She Mountain was home to no fewer than one hundred different Snake Species, which was already considered an impressive number.

But the number of Snake Species in this clearing was on another level entirely. With a single glance, one could probably spot several hundred different kinds of venomous snakes.

There were small snakes only a few dozen centimeters long, larger ones several meters in length, and even dozens of Giant Snakes over ten meters long. This mighty host was large enough to attack a human City.

'Holy cow, does it have to be this insane?'

Tu Xiao'an was dumbfounded and couldn't snap out of his stupor for a moment. The true terror of Snake Gully was something no outsider could possibly imagine.

Hm?

Lying on the Black Mamba's head, Tu Xiao'an kept his eyes peeled. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a rare Snake Species mixed in with the massive swarm.

Tu Xiao'an could ignore the other venomous snakes, but there was no way he was letting a rare Snake Species get away. 'That's a walking pile of cash right there.'

As the Bai Town Snake King, he still had the heavy responsibility of providing for his family.

The snake was covered in vivid blue stripes, making it stand out in the swarm. It was impossible to miss, like a graceful beauty in a crowd—it was just too eye-catching.

Compared to it, the other venomous snakes were simply hideous and unbearable to look at.

'Little fella, now that I've got my eye on you, there's no escape.'

'Consciousness Power, lock on! Collect!'

Tu Xiao'an's Snake Gaze narrowed, and his powerful Consciousness Power instantly enveloped the rare Snake Species.

POP...

With just a single thought, the rare Snake Species appeared inside Tu Xiao'an's system.

This rare Snake Species was called a Blue Blood. It was stunningly beautiful. Back when Tu Xiao'an was a Snake Catcher, seeing a snake like this would have made him too excited to sleep for days.

It was as valuable as a Lamborghini—incredibly precious.

A venomous snake like this would almost never appear on She Mountain, yet here it was in Snake Gully. It felt like finding a Phoenix in a chicken coop.

'Beautiful, truly beautiful. In terms of looks, it's second only to my Gold and Silver Snake form.'

'I'm just traveling anyway, might as well see if I can find any other rare Snake Species.'

Tu Xiao'an was essentially panning for gold. His Snake Gaze glittered with excitement. An opportunity like this was rare—hundreds of thousands of venomous snakes swarming from all directions.

You could find almost any kind of venomous snake in a crowd this large.

Soon, he spotted another rare Snake Species. Without a second thought, he immediately collected it into his system.

Gradually, he noticed that the snakes were moving in distinct groups, each with its own leader.

Furthermore, the auras of these leading snakes were all extraordinary—they were Awakened Snake Species.

Any snake that managed to Awaken was like a regional lord. It made sense that they would command a certain number of venomous snakes.

Tu Xiao'an began to smile. 'An Awakened Snake is even more valuable than a rare Snake Species. These snakes... they're all mine. All of them!'

It is said that when the Snake King gives a command, no snake in the world dares to disobey.

The number of venomous snakes in the clearing was already terrifyingly large. If Tu Xiao'an could subdue all of them, only then could he be called a Snake King in the truest sense of the word.

'Then let's give it a try. With my current strength at Level 18, I'll fully unleash my dominance ability and see if I can make these hundreds of thousands of venomous snakes submit to me in an instant.'

Suddenly, the Gold and Silver Snake on the ten-meter Black Mamba's head vanished.
