11: Titanoboa, a prehistoric creature!

[How is that impossible? They're live streaming in the Live Stream Room right now. If you don't believe it, go see for yourself. Anyway, I've watched from start to finish, and I've officially become a fan of Ye Bai. He's simply too handsome.]

[I'm a professional debunker. I'm going to go check for myself right now to see if this is real.]

The comments below the video grew more numerous by the second, reaching hundreds of thousands in no time.

Meanwhile...

Inside an experimental research laboratory at the School of Biology.

An elderly man wearing a white lab coat and half-rimmed glasses emerged from the lab. There were bloodstains on his gloves, which he peeled off as he walked, his aged face etched with exhaustion.

This man was a titan of Great Xia's biological circles. He first rose to fame for discovering the Deinosuchus from the Cretaceous period and had later made a name for himself internationally by participating in global biological exchange conferences using his vast knowledge.

Now, he continued his research on never-before-seen organisms within the School of Biology.

He was highly respected in the Great Xia biological community.

"Professor Han..."

Just as Professor Han left the lab, he saw a middle-aged man rushing toward him, holding a tablet.

"Xiao Song, don't you know you shouldn't run in the laboratory?"

Professor Han's brow furrowed, his tone grave. This was a critical laboratory area; one could easily collide with someone.

Xiao Song reached Professor Han out of breath and hurriedly held out the tablet. "Teacher... I... I saw a Python."

Professor Han was stunned for a moment before finding it amusing. He turned toward the restroom, turning on the faucet to wash his hands.

"It's just a Python. It's not like we haven't seen Pythons before."

"No... that's not it, Teacher. It's a Titanoboa. It's an extinct Python, the largest Python ever!"

Xiao Song took a deep breath to steady his breathing and placed the tablet before the professor's eyes.

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Professor Han ignored his half-washed hands, wiped them haphazardly on his clothes, and impatiently took the tablet to scrutinize the video.

The video happened to show the giant Python emerging from the water and crawling toward Zhang Dada. Seeing the massive size of the Python, its length, and its blackened scales, the features were exactly like the characteristics of the Python he had seen in books.

Professor Han's hands trembled as he held the tablet. His eyes were wide, and his lips quivered with excitement.

"Titanoboa... it really is a Titanoboa. Isn't that an extinct species? How could it appear here? Where is this?"

Professor Han suddenly looked at Xiao Song and pressed him anxiously.

"That's the Misty Forest near the Xia-Myanmar border. It's one of our Great Xia's Forbidden Grounds."

Seeing Professor Han's reaction, Xiao Song suddenly felt much better; he had worn the exact same expression earlier.

"A Forbidden Ground? Isn't that a very dangerous place? Why would anyone go there?"

Professor Han's brow tightened, his gaze still fixed on the video on the tablet.

"It's a reality TV show. Their outdoor adventure chose a Forbidden Ground, this..."

Before Xiao Song could finish, he heard Professor Han bark angrily.

"Nonsense! Never mind whether the Forbidden Ground is dangerous, even this Titanoboa is incredibly perilous. This Python is massive, yet its speed is lightning-fast, and the strength of its body, that..."

Before Professor Han could finish, he heard the Python's howl. He looked at the tablet and saw a young man in black suddenly strike the giant Python. Then, the Python collapsed to the ground, dead... Professor Han rubbed his eyes in disbelief... His eyes weren't playing tricks on him, were they? What was going on? That young man actually killed the Titanoboa... How was that possible? How did he know where the Titanoboa's seven-inch heart was? This was impossible!

"Who is this young man?"

Professor Han pointed at the young man in black in the video in shock.

"His name is Ye Bai. He's a college student."

Xiao Song was also very surprised by Ye Bai's ability; he was unexpectedly formidable.

He had been shocked for a long time before he could process it.

"A college student? Impossible! He is definitely not a college student!" Professor Han shook his head without a second thought.

"It's true. This is a program featuring celebrities; only Ye Bai is a commoner. And according to his records, he's a college student."

Xiao Song explained quickly, pulling up the Production Team's poster as if fearing the professor wouldn't believe him.

"A college student? How could he be a college student?" Professor Han still looked at the tablet in disbelief. "The Titanoboa is an extinct species. To kill it, one must strike its 'seven-inch' weak point, but that spot is incredibly difficult to find."

"Huh?"

"Xiao Song, let me put it this way: even if this giant Python were lying on a lab table, it would take us quite some time to find its seven-inch mark. Yet this Ye Bai could find the Titanoboa's seven-inch mark in that kind of environment. That proves Ye Bai understands these Pythons very well."

"Xiao Song, you are a biology professor. Do you understand this Python? If you encountered it, could you find its weakness?"

Professor Han's words made Xiao Song's head buzz, and he didn't recover for a long time.

In that case, this Ye Bai really was no ordinary person!

He could precisely locate the seven-inch mark... that point alone was enough to astonish them.

"I couldn't!"

"Therefore, I don't think this Ye Bai is an ordinary person." Professor Han walked toward his office with the tablet. "Xiao Song, go investigate Ye Bai's background. I need to know everything about him."

Professor Han was filled with curiosity about Ye Bai. In the entire School of Biology, even those professors might not necessarily recognize a Titanoboa, let alone find its weakness.

But Ye Bai could... this person... was not simple!

Inside the Forbidden Ground.

At this moment, Ye Bai felt a wave of refreshment wash over him. Power surged through his limbs and bones; he felt as though he had endless strength.

As expected of the Qilin Bloodline, this feeling was truly different.

While Ye Bai was still dazed, Wu Jing and Yang Mi stood behind him.

Ye Bai turned to look at the people before him. His expression was cold, and his 'keep away' aura was even more intense than before.

"You..."

The moment Ye Bai turned around, Reba felt that his appearance seemed a bit strange. It was clearly the same face, yet there was a... sacred feeling.

Yes, it was a sacred feeling.

It wasn't just Reba; Yang Mi, Yang Chaoyue, and the others all had the same thought.

"Little Brother Ye Bai, you're really too amazing. So handsome!"

Yang Chaoyue was the first to speak, looking like a total fangirl... Bai Lu and Meng Ziyi nodded in quick succession.

Upon hearing the praise, Ye Bai's expression didn't change in the slightest.

"How did you kill that giant Python?"

Wu Jing still couldn't figure out how Ye Bai had managed to kill the giant Python.

"seven-inch mark."

Ye Bai responded with only those three words.

The shock on Wu Jing's face froze.

seven-inch mark? Nonsense, he knew it was the seven-inch mark too, but how did he manage to pierce the snake's skin with just his fingers?

"Sister Mi, do you know what kind of snake this is?"
