It's molting!

Realizing this, Orochimaru jumped off the gray python and retreated back to the previous snake's head, looking at the other party from a distance.

Ordinary snakes molt in order to grow.

The skin and scales of the snake are formed by the stratum corneum, which is tough, wear-resistant, and impermeable, preventing the dispersion and loss of water in the body...... And so on, there are many advantages.

However, there is one thing that is not as good as the skin of ordinary creatures, and that is that the skin of a snake cannot expand as the snake grows.

So, every once in a while, the snake has to shed its skin. The more years it lives, the more times the snake molts.

This is the law of growth, or a physiological phenomenon of snakes.

But for these extraordinary snakes in the Dragon Cave, molting has other meanings.

For example, the fairy snakes led by the white snake immortals are also for growth, but their molting is not for the expansion of their size, but for the shrinkage of their bodies.

It's not to break free, but to form a new snake skin inside, and let the petrification on the outside fall off.

This is an immortal technique developed by the White Snake Immortal by combining physiological instinct with natural energy, in order to reverse the burden caused by body shape and complete evolution, which is the opposite path of the warrior snake.

But the stupid snake of Ten Thousand Snakes also has similar skills.

It doesn't use immortal arts, but it relies directly on instinct and can escape danger by 'molting'.

It is similar to the molting of the white snake immortal, but it is only a new snake skin formed inside, and the size of the snake does not shrink or grow.

The purpose is simply to deflect damage with a stand-in.

Orochimaru has seen Ten Thousand Snakes perform this skill many times, and he is quite familiar with it.

Therefore, he was very sure that the Gray Python, a warrior snake, was not using a molt similar to that of ten thousand snakes at this time.

It's growing.

This...... It's going to be interesting.

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, pressed the urge to continue to interfere with the primary cells, and looked at the gray python with interest.

If this 'molt' is similar to the white snake immortal, after the gray python condenses its body, with the increased chakra strength, it will greatly increase the possibility of taming the first generation of cells.

The important thing is that he let the gray python show this possibility, and the White Snake Immortal will naturally be interested in it, and the trip can be said to be a complete success.

And if it's just the growth of the serpent, the process is much more dangerous.

In the process of the python's growth, the primary cells will be completely fused with the body of the big snake through the rapid iteration of the cell, opening the road of perfect fusion at the cellular level.

It sounds like a good thing, but in this case, if you are not careful, your body will become a tree and it will turn into a tree.

The perfect fusion at the cellular level, which is his ultimate desire for the utility of the first generation of cells, has still been unsolved.

To date, he has been using partial primary cell transplants.

Which one is this?

Under Orochimaru's expectant gaze, the gray python curled up and rolled back and forth in the cave, but the snake's kiss was attached to the hard earth and stone, rubbing constantly, and after a while, the outermost layer of snake skin was torn.

"Hiss ......"

The gray python let out a cry of pain, both because of the pain of molting and because of the weakening effect of the inhibitor, the first generation of cells became active again.

The gray python did not dare to delay time, and the snake's head swayed and rubbed from side to side, expanding the wound of the snake's skin, and soon, the cracked space was enough for its body to pass through.

Rustle rustle......

On the rocky ground, there was a sound of the snake's body rubbing against the snake's skin, like a blunt knife cutting meat, which sounded really terrifying.

Orochimaru's attention was all on the snake body that leaned out, and he subconsciously licked his lips, his eyes revealing great interest.

Because the color of the snake's body is no longer grayish-brown, but has become an emerald green color, like a tree snake in the forest.

And judging from the way the giant python molted at this time, this was not similar to the immortal art of the White Snake Immortal, but a simple growth.

There are some pity, but it is not without gain.

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, the shadow clone was one with him, and he had already arranged other experimental equipment, and was recording the data in an orderly manner.

Being able to see the perfect fusion of the first generation of cells in Monty Python is very valuable for his subsequent experiments.

Moreover, in any case, the snake did not die in the experiment, and even if the White Snake Immortal wanted to blame him, he would not make too much of a fuss.

With that in mind, the tree snake hissed again, and its body rolled on the rocky ground again.

Not long after it was born, the snake's skin began to crack, and it didn't take long for it to be covered with scars.

Orochimaru was surprised, "This guy, he's going to molt again?" ”

Unexpected, but as if it should be.

With the strong replication and proliferation ability of the first generation of cells, it is indeed possible for this giant python to leapfrog the growth period in a short period of time.

Orochimaru's heart sank, this level of growth power, the perfect fusion of the first generation of cells was much more terrifying than he imagined.

"Ahhh......h

On the rocky ground, dust rose suddenly, emerald green pythons rolled, and layers of earth and rocks were thrown into the air.

This molt is much more embarrassing than the last time, and it is no longer possible to slowly take off the snake from the snake's kiss step by step, but to tear it directly with the hard soil and stones.

Such a rude behavior is replaced by ordinary snakes, even if ten thousand snakes do this, they will be covered in scaly wounds, but with the existence of the first generation of cells, although this giant python sheds a lot of blood, it is unharmed on the surface.

But seeing the python's desperate struggle, he must want to be like an ordinary snake.

Soon, although there was some adhesion, most of the snake's skin was broken free by the emerald green python, and the color of the exposed body also deepened a lot, turning from emerald green to dark green.

A miserable howl came from the mouth of the snake, but it was weaker than before, and the two molts had consumed too much physical strength, and it was no longer able to suppress and interfere with the first generation of cells.

It didn't take long for the emerald python's intact snake to crack again. This time, it was not molting, and dense granulations rose from under the broken scales.

They continue to grow and split, and when they grow to a certain extent, they begin to wooden, and green leaves begin to peek out from the tips.

Orochimaru licked his lips, anticipating the outcome.

Sure enough, the huge snake body was like a fertile soil for seeds, and saplings of different sizes squeezed nutrients from it, and in an instant, it grew into a forest.

Orochimaru no longer looked at the failed test subject, he reflected on the omissions in the previous experiment, and the areas that needed improvement, and jumped in front of the ten thousand snakes.

"You...... Can't do that to me! ”

Seeing what happened to the giant python, the ten thousand snakes were already stunned, and they shuddered at the evil of the human beings in front of them.

Orochimaru smiled, as usual, "Ten thousand snakes, it's your turn." ”

"No...... No, Orochimaru, if you do this, the immortals won't let you go. ”

Ten thousand snakes continue to intimidate and shout, but they have no confidence in their hearts, even if it is it, they can understand the meaning of no one stopping it for so long.
