Python Rebirth on Survival Island

Chapter 48: Devouring, Continuous Devouring

In the Red Zone, in the jungle filled with a murderous atmosphere…

Boom… whoosh!!

The mutated Reticulated Python king and the mutated crocodile king were still fighting each other.

During their battle, large tracts of trees were knocked down, and some stones on the ground were crushed into powder.

No humans had ever seen these colossal, destructive forces in this area of death… But because Ye Bei had massacred quite a few humans in the Green Zone earlier before, the mercenary base directly focused their attention on Research Island.

They even went to the extent of launching several unmanned helicopters over the island.

Right at this very moment, an unmanned helicopter was hovering in the sky above the mutated crocodile king and the mutated Reticulated Python King, recording their entire battle.

Looking at the video footage that was being transmitted back to the base, the chief of the mercenary base said excitedly to his subordinates, “Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable… we had always thought that Research Island was merely a restricted area! But are all of you seeing this? These creatures, these terrifying creatures, they’re thriving so well in this place. As long as we can catch and tame them, who’s to say what power they hold? Even if we can’t tame them, we’ll make a lot of money from using their genes for modification.”

Fear, excitement… complex emotions rolled over and over through the chief mercenary’s mind.

This was the first time an unmanned helicopter had captured such a scene.

Previously, Research Island had been covered with dense jungles, rendering it impossible to photograph the situation inside…

But now that the crocodile king and the Reticulated Python king had toppled a large number of massive trees during their fight, all the mutated creatures living inside the jungle were now exposed.

“This python, I think it’s at least 40 meters long!”

“Unbelievable… if I hadn’t seen this with my very own eyes, I would’ve thought the previous python was the most massive creature I’d ever seen!”

“Looks like we’ve got ourselves a treasure!”

“If this is disclosed to the public… the entire world will go nuts.”

“Did the original experiment succeed?”

In the conference room, the high officials of the mercenary organization watched the footage with wide eyes. The footage of the events that had taken place these last two days had given them an unprecedented shock.

While tracking down Ye Bei, they ended up stumbling upon so many unexpected surprises!

It was after quite some time that the person in charge of the mercenary base finally spoke again, saying in a low, guttural voice, “Send more men to the operation at once. A hundred people. Send a hundred people to Research Island. No matter what it takes, have them bring a mutated creature back to us.”

… However, at this moment, Ye Bei was completely oblivious to what the mercenaries were planning.

Evolution, continuous evolution!

Until even the best of human weapons couldn’t harm him, this was Ye Bei’s goal at present.

Ka-chak!

Crisp sounds reverberated throughout the jungle in the Red Zone.

This was the sound of Ye Bei chomping like a human on the body of a crocodile with the assistance of his razor-sharp teeth.

His sharp teeth easily penetrated the crocodile’s body, which was as hard as a steel plate.

Subsequently, his teeth plunged into the crocodile’s bones, making a rattling sound.

Snakes usually devour their food whole.

But this crocodile was really too big for Ye Bei to swallow. Hence, Ye Bei was better off using his teeth. Imitating the way he used to eat when he was a human, he used the colossal force of his bite to tear up the crocodile’s flesh into chunks, then take them into his mouth and swallow them.

Hmm?

When the first bite of crocodile flesh entered his mouth, Ye Bei’s eyes abruptly widened.

Firstly, it brought with it a gust of chilling energy that directly spread throughout his entire body.

This feeling was completely different from that kind of scalding sensation he’d felt before.

But one thing remained the same, and that was while this energy spread throughout this body, he felt an immense amount of pleasure… every restless cell in his body slowly regained its calm, and the energy that was coursing through him was converted into pure energy, which merged with his body as quickly as possible.

“Congratulations, Host. You have successfully devoured a chunk of mutated crocodile flesh and have gained 1000 evolution points! Due to the presence of Mutation Drugs in the crocodile’s flesh, your body will also increase in strength!”

In addition to the unprecedented feeling of invigoration the crocodile flesh gave him, this announcement from the system made Ye Bei feel more agitated and excited.

Mutation Drugs? Strengthening my body?

That would mean…

If he were to swallow all of the mutated beasts in this jungle, then the Mutation Drug that originally belonged to them would become his own, and when that happened, his own body would also mutate? And he would become stronger and more powerful?

Ye Bei felt that he had discovered something new yet again.

Research Island… was truly full of surprises…

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully devouring a mutant crocodile in its entirety and gaining 18000 evolution points. You’ve also been awarded a bronze treasure box.”

Having eaten his first mutated crocodile, Ye Bei gained a lot of evolution points and even a bronze treasure box. This was absolutely a huge surprise.

Devour!

Continue devouring…

Devour everything in this place!

However, Ye Bei didn’t go on to open the treasure box to check out what was inside.

Instead, he was extremely obsessed with the speed at which he could gain evolution points and improve his physique via this method.

He was still thinking of biting into his prey like a human…

Hiss Hiss!

Gulp…

At that moment, Ye Bei unceremoniously opened his mouth wide and started devouring the mutated crocodiles one by one.

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully devouring a mutated crocodile in its entirety and gaining 22,000 evolution points. You’ve also been awarded a silver treasure chest.”

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully devouring a mutated crocodile in its entirety and gaining 9,000 evolution points.”

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully devouring a mutated crocodile in its entirety and gaining 28,000 evolution points. You’ve also been awarded a silver treasure chest.”

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully devouring a mutated crocodile in its entirety and gaining 23,000 evolution points. You’ve also been awarded a bronze treasure chest.”

Continuous devouring.

The system’s voice constantly resounded in Ye Bei’s ears.

On the information panel, his current number of evolution points was fluctuating wildly… large amounts of rewards and treasure chests were also quickly stacking up.

The more this happened, the more it motivated Ye Bei to continue devouring.

Mutated crocodile…

Mutated Reticulated Python!

By the time Ye Bei devoured his tenth creature, his body was already 18 meters long… and he had seven treasure chests.

It was only when Ye Bei ate his 29th creature that he halted his madness.

Because…

Eating this 29th creature gave him enough evolution points to push him over the 530,000 mark. On the system’s information panel, it was recorded that the criteria for the second stage of his evolution as a Blood Reticulated Python had been met.

At the moment the criteria were met…

Even without Ye Bei’s consent, the system directly initiated the second stage of Ye Bei’s evolution as a Blood Reticulation Python.

At the same time, this sudden evolution made Ye Bei feel a little surprised… in fact, it was more excitement than surprise that he was feeling.

One day, in such a short period of time…

He had gone through several stages of evolution. What could possibly feel better than this?

What’s more, this time, Ye Bei didn’t even need to enter a dormant state during his evolution… and this naturally made him even wilder with excitement!
