Chapter 294: The Green Scale Snake
"I found one." Bai Ze muttered to himself before changing direction.
His speed skyrocketed in an instant, and the ground under his feet cracked in the next moment, and even he couldn't easily control the power of this instantaneous explosion.
On a large tree lies a blue-scaled snake about fifty meters long. The snake coiled around a thick branch, taking advantage of the night to disguise itself with leaves, its dark yellow eyes seemed to glow, staring at a white rat about two meters long and about one meter high.
The mutated rat has not yet evolved to the first order, so it must be much more careful than those that have evolved, after all, its life is always in danger. After all, the weakest prey is always chosen by the strong first, and only then devoured.
As the white-haired mutant rat walked along the base of a giant tree, its fur stood on end, and its red eyes trembled with fear. Sensing the mortal danger, the mutated rodent hurriedly dug its sharp claws into the dirt beneath its feet, trying to escape with a single jump.
However, before the mutated rats could move, a putrid smell filled the air, followed by a thick black mist that enveloped the entire tree within fifty feet.
The thick trunk of the tree began to turn black and crackle, as if it would fall at any moment, and the leaves, which had originally bloomed bright green, suddenly withered and blackened, shattered into a few pieces and fell to the ground.
The grass withered at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the rats let out terrible screams and felt like their skin was corroded. The beast let out a second scream of pain, and it ran forward, trying to get out of its area of influence while doing its best to endure the pain and fear that consumed it.
Unfortunately, when the mutated rodent finally crossed a distance of fifteen meters two seconds later, its body collapsed lifelessly, rolling a few times before it was completely lifeless. The radiant white fur was gone, its flesh almost black, pus and blood running down its body, staining the ground red, and a foul smell of decay permeating the area.
The serpent let go of its branches and landed on the ground with a thud, kicking up a huge cloud of dust and cautiously swimming towards the corpse of the mutant rat. Seeing its prey fall, the green-scaled snake hissed and began to swallow.
The snake not only absorbed the soul power of the mutant rat, but also became more powerful by eating the flesh of its prey. This rat wasn't the first prey of the night. The snake had slaughtered more than twenty of them before that.
While tasting the delicious taste of victory, the serpent suddenly sensed something, raised his head sharply, and looked to the right. Its glowing eyes narrowed dangerously, but when it looked at the human standing ten meters away, there was a flash of wariness in its eyes.
Bai Ze looked at the giant snake in front of him and couldn't help but notice that its size was about twice as large as the snake he had encountered in college before. Not only are its scales more shiny, but it also has thin spines on its tail, which is undoubtedly a deadly weapon.
"This snake should be about to break through to the next level, it must be level 49 or 50, performing a breakthrough mission." Bai Ze spoke into the air.
"Looks like it should be." The delicate voice could only be heard by Bai Ze.
Hiss!
The serpent opened its mouth and hissed menacingly. The large mouth that smelled of carrion was enough to easily consume an entire car, while the blood of the mutant rat and several other prey made the beast even more ferocious.
"Damn, this smells so bad." Bai Ze frowned, and the disgusting fishy smell coming from the giant beast's mouth made people feel sick.
The snake hadn't attacked him yet, the only reason was because the beast could sense great danger from its immediate existence. Otherwise, it won't waste time hissing to threaten its opponents, warning them not to come closer, or it will attack immediately. However, this snake is one of the supreme lords of this area, and no beast dares to compete with it except for the demon beasts that live in the middle of this forest.
Those who dared to offend it were devoured. So, this beast is also used to being domineering.
Because of this, when Bai Ze scolded the beast and even ignored it, the snake finally couldn't stand it anymore and immediately attacked.
At lightning speed, the green scaled snake opened its mouth again, and in the next second, a thick black mist erupted from its mouth.
Bai Ze squinted, and the expression on his face was slightly solemn. The fog flew forward, enveloping everything within a radius of several meters, whether it was trees, grass, or small insects. Everything corroded as if it had been sprayed with acidic liquid, and even the rocks began to hiss.
Bai Ze was sure that even if it was a second-order fierce beast, he would probably suffer a heavy blow.
However, he is not nervous or worried. Just a little more alert than usual.
After Bai Ze consumed 5 mana, he activated gravity manipulation without thinking about it. But instead of activating his skill to increase gravity, he lowered the gravity within a radius of ten meters.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
The fog, which continued to advance and spread out in a conical shape, suddenly seemed to encounter some kind of strong traction, and the forward movement was suddenly interrupted and began to slowly rise into the air.
After reducing the gravity within ten meters in front of him, all the poisonous fog that entered the range quickly rose into the air, because Bai Ze did not deactivate the skill, and the gravity blessing remained unchanged.
Seeing this, the blue-scaled snake let out an exclamation. This was the first time this beast had experienced such a defeat, and in the past, no matter how big or small the enemy, it had been defeated by the active skills it had acquired after successfully evolving to the first rank.
However, a beast is a beast after all.
Seeing that the poisonous mist it was proud of was useless to the humans in front of it, the green-scaled snake burst out at a speed about twenty times that of a normal human before the apocalypse, and in the blink of an eye, it narrowed the distance of fifteen meters.
A fifty-meter-long giant body rushed towards you, and I am afraid that no normal person can calmly deal with this scene. However, Bai Ze's face did not change in the slightest.
