10: Section 10

It had only been a little over a month since he left, but his original territory had completely changed.

The giant cave had also collapsed, and many snake corpses could still be found inside.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

Xiao Bai let out a sharp sound, a unique communication method among snakes in this area, a single sound containing a lot of information.

After about ten minutes, not a single snake came.

"This shouldn't be happening. I'm the Snake King of this area. Could it be that my snake wives have all been taken over?"

Da da!

A small stone rolled down from a crevice, and a gray-brown Grass-bellied Keelback snake crawled out from within.

These snakes are commonly seen in rural rice paddies, streams, and near reservoirs, and are widely distributed. Fishermen often encounter them.

A White Python appeared in front of it, and it immediately turned around, burrowing into the rock crevice, but Xiao Bai sucked it out.

"Bastard, why do you not bow to this Snake King?"

"G-Great King! I, the humble one, have only recently arrived in this area and do not understand the rules. I beg your forgiveness."

"I ask you, where did all the snakes in this area go before?"

The Grass-bellied Keelback snake rolled its beady green eyes, looking up at Xiao Bai's enormous body.

"Half a month ago, a powerful Black Bull Demon appeared here, saying it wanted to avenge its deceased adopted son."

"Many snake compatriots were stewed by them; it was too tragic."

"What?" Xiao Bai instantly became enraged: "Damn it, no wonder my rewards are all gone."

"What is the opponent's strength?"

"The Black Bull Demon's exact strength, I, the humble one, am not very clear, but it is said to be at least a Rank Six Yao Beast."

Xiao Bai asked again: "Where is its lair?"

The Grass-bellied Keelback snake pointed its tail at the mountain ahead: "It's in the middle of several large mountains. There's a huge stronghold there, and the Black Bull Demon is inside."

"Damn it, I won't let it off."

Even with such a disparity in strength, Xiao Bai was not afraid in the slightest. All the offspring he had painstakingly produced had become the Black Bull Demon's late-night snack.

He opened his information panel and was immediately stunned.

[Xiao Bai]

[Age] Two years and seven months

[Cultivation] Rank Four Yao Beast

[Body Length] 15 meters

[Number of Offspring] 5688 (90% mortality rate)

[Skills] Steel Bones, immune to all snake venoms.

Ding, warning! Warning!

[The host's snake babies and snake wives have suffered heavy casualties. The little snakes' Bloodline is very low-Rank and very fragile, and many died prematurely upon birth.]

[Fortunately, the host found the next powerful target in time and has successfully conceived, entering a two-month Cultivation protection period until the new offspring are born.]

Xiao Bai let out a long sigh: "Oh my, you scared me to death. I thought all my snake wives and offspring had died, and it would revert me to my original form."

"This System still has some conscience."

Xiao Bai was very fortunate to have met the Spider Queen and successfully dealt with her; otherwise, the current situation would be truly hard to predict.

If he were truly reverted to an ordinary Little White Snake, just over a meter long, he definitely wouldn't see tomorrow's sun.

Sure enough, Bloodline is still very important. One Spider Queen is worth tens of thousands of ordinary snake wives.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes wide: "If I don't avenge this, I, Xiao Bai, will not be a snake."

He searched the original location again, finding countless broken snake eggs and many dead little snakes of various colors and breeds on the ground.

At that time, there was no other choice; within a hundred miles, all were the most common snakes, so he could only pursue quantity to get System rewards.

After this painful lesson, Xiao Bai focused more on quality. Yao Beasts with Advanced Bloodline would produce much stronger offspring.

He was, after all, the father of these little snakes. After gathering them and burying them, Xiao Bai sneaked into the stronghold in the mountains overnight.

At this moment, the Black Bull Demon and its dozen or so cow concubines were gathered around a large pot, eating snake stew.

Xiao Bai's snake wives had become delicacies in the pot.

"Great King, we should have come here earlier. Eating snakes every day, my belly is already bulging."

"Haha, continue the music and continue the dance."

Five fox Yao danced a sexy belly dance around the bonfire. Niu Gao, the Black Bull Demon, grabbed two green snakes with his thick hands and tore into them, just like eating spicy strips, his mouth full of blood.

"Thanks to Huzi, this King can now enjoy such delicious delicacies."

"It's a pity we didn't catch that White Python; otherwise, I would definitely roast it and eat it."

"These low-Rank snakes becoming our food can also be considered their blessing."

The stronghold was lively, gathering many Yao, all subordinates of the Black Bull Demon. In the fiercely competitive Monster Realm, this was a rare place of tranquility.

Food and drink were not a problem, but the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was thin, so higher-Rank Yao Beasts would not come here at all.

Chapter 14 Cat and Dog War

Xiao Bai possessed a chameleon-like minor skill. Once activated, his body color would change with the surrounding environment.

He successfully evaded the Dog Demon guards and secretly slipped into the stronghold through a fence gap.

From afar, he could hear deafening snores, interspersed with the croaking of frogs.

Hiss, hiss!

Xiao Bai flicked his tongue, following the sound to the largest council hall in the middle of the stronghold, which was more than ten times the size of the surrounding wooden houses.

Outside the door, three teams of minor Yao were patrolling. A Dog Demon with a dog head and human body was followed by a dozen large black dogs, naturally suited for night patrols.

The leading Black Dog Demon was a Rank Two Yao Beast, and the black dogs following were common breeds, fierce-looking, with very sensitive noses.

"Keep your spirits up! The later it gets, the less you can relax your guard. If there's a problem, King Bull will break your dog legs."

Woof, woof, woof!

The black dogs barked in unison, shaking their heads and obeying the Dog Demon's instructions, vowing to protect the stronghold's security, not even letting a fly in.

Three Dog Demons roasted by the bonfire. The deep mountain forest was a bit chilly at night. They scooped snake stew from the pot with spoons, eating with relish.

"Tsk tsk... truly delicious. Knowing there were so many snakes here, we should have come with King Bull earlier."

The Black Dog Demon bared its sharp fangs, smiling lewdly: "It's not too late now. Millions of snakes still couldn't escape our grasp."

"Our Cultivation Technique requires a huge amount of energy, and these snake stews can replenish it very well."

Suddenly, the door of the council hall slowly opened, and a Cat Demon emerged from the small gap. Her figure was graceful and charming, and the small tail behind her buttocks swayed like a small snake.

Meow! Meow!

The Cat Demon gently twitched the cat ears on her head, her voice alluring and charming, making the three Dog Demons instantly perk up. They patted off the dirt on their bodies, trying their best to appear more gentlemanly.

"Oh, it's Cat Lady. Not sleeping so late, are you out to have some fun with us?"

The Black Dog Demon drooled, his eyes lecherously fixed on the Cat Demon's figure, trying to see through every inch of her skin.

"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. King Bull is sleeping inside, so don't be so loud."

After delivering her message, the Cat Demon turned and walked back into the council hall, not wanting to stay there for another second.

The yellow-furred Dog Demon rolled his eyes, both lewd and cunning.

"Hei Ge, it's so late and quiet, it's really agonizing. This slut even came out to tempt us. Why don't we just take care of her now?"

"Shut up! That's King Bull's concubine. Do you want to die?"

Another spotted Dog Demon also leaned in.

"Hei Ge, let's all three go together. Once we make this slut comfortable, she naturally won't tell anyone."

"King Bull has so many concubines; how can he play with all of them? He doesn't have two dongs."

The Black Dog Demon pondered for a moment, twitched his nose, sniffing the nearby scent, and after confirming there was only one Cat Demon, the three dogs exchanged glances, communicating with their dog eyes, and decided to act on the Cat Demon.

"Cat Lady, why are you in such a hurry? Can you sleep going back so late? Why not stay and play with us?"

"Pah, disgusting! Take your dog paws off me! I find you Dog Demons disgusting, your bodies reek."

The Black Dog Demon raised its arm and sniffed its armpit. A dozen flies flew out of its fur.

"Is that so? I think it smells quite good. Tonight, you have no say."

At this moment, two dog paws had already reached behind the Cat Demon.

Meow!!

The Cat Demon's tail began to fluff up, becoming incredibly fierce, and her hands transformed into cat claws, the curved, sharp claws sharper than knives.

Her body was very flexible, and her movements were swift, instantly scratching the faces of two Dog Demons.

She coiled her legs around a pillar, ready to attack at any moment.

"Disgusting mongrels, do you think this old lady is easy to bully?"

The two Dog Demons whose faces were scratched hid behind the Black Dog Demon. They had witnessed the Cat Demon's ferocity and dared not step forward.

"Hei Ge, what do we do now?"

"Since things have come to this, you two step back and watch how I deal with her."

The Black Dog Demon shook its dog head: "Cat Lady, it's not good to be so fierce, you know? Does King Bull know?"

"None of your damn business, don't you dare tell me what to do."

"Very good, truly a little firecracker, I like it!"

Pushing open the door led directly into the council hall. The Black Dog Demon was afraid of waking the Black Bull Demon inside, so he suggested moving to a more distant location to spar.
