200: Chapter 200 The Terrifying Serpent Mother: Devouring Her Own Kin

Soon, Jianghai City received this information.

All the leaders, like the company commander at the monitoring station, believed that Ye Yang's departure was unusual.

"The Ancient Divine Phoenix... has anything happened around its territory, Divine Phoenix Mountain, during this period?"

After some thought, a leader from the scientific research department spoke up first.

A military leader replied, "We monitored that before the Ancient Divine Phoenix left Divine Phoenix Mountain, it had a battle with a bird-type creature..."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Calling it a battle is actually an understatement; it was a one-sided crushing. The Ancient Divine Phoenix appeared to communicate with that giant bird, but the specific content is unclear."

At this point, a high-ranking military official also spoke up.

"Sigh... The power possessed by the Ancient Divine Phoenix far exceeds our human imagination. In the blink of an eye, that bird-type creature hatched from a demon primordial stone was struck down. The scene was truly shocking."

"Hmm, so that means the Ancient Divine Phoenix heading to the Qinling Mountains is very likely because that demon primordial stone creature told it something."

"Yes, based on the information we currently know, this is indeed the only possibility."

"Then what exactly did that demon primordial stone creature tell the Ancient Divine Phoenix..."

"We don't know..."

All the leaders present were extremely confused, as if a large cat were frantically scratching at their hearts. They racked their brains, desperate to know exactly what information the demon primordial stone creature had imparted.

It wasn't just instinctive curiosity at play; it was also because the information provided by the demon primordial stone creature from beneath Blue Star could very likely be of vital importance to their Jianghai City!

The leaders all understood that the value of critical intelligence was far greater than thousands of troops!

"To make the Ancient Divine Phoenix, which had never left its territory, head to the Qinling Mountains, the information the demon primordial stone creature spoke of must be very important..."

"Unfortunately, we humans cannot obtain it..."

"Who says so? Didn't the Ancient Divine Phoenix obtain the intelligence from the demon primordial stone creature?! We humans can too!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the once-confused eyes of some people suddenly lit up!

"That's right! demon primordial stone creatures have the ability to communicate... If our Jianghai City captures an Ancient Creature, we will certainly be able to obtain intelligence from it!"

"Good, our military guarantees the completion of this task. Leave it to us!"

Due to their attitude towards demon primordial stone creatures—which was to eliminate them immediately upon discovery—their thinking had entered a dead end, completely forgetting that demon primordial stone creatures were capable of communication.

Subsequently, Mayor Lin of Jianghai City also agreed to this plan.

"Very well, the task of capturing a demon primordial stone creature is left to your military. Remember, you must not harm the public!"

"By the way... is there any news from the elite squad dispatched to the Qinling Mountains?"

Upon hearing his question, the expressions of several military leaders shifted.

After holding back for a long time, one person finally spoke up.

"No. The terrain and environment of Blue Star are changing, and the magnetic field of the Qinling Mountains has undergone a drastic transformation. After that elite squad entered the Qinling Mountains for a few dozen miles, we lost signal..."

"Sigh..."

Mayor Lin sighed silently, "Record any useful intelligence from this elite squad to accumulate experience for the next team dispatched to explore the Qinling Mountains."

"Yes!"

...Deep within an unknown part of the Qinling Mountains.

Here, giant trees towered into the sky. Hundred-meter-tall trees could be seen everywhere, and the tallest trees even reached two or three hundred meters, truly achieving the level of "ancient trees towering into the sky."

Shrouded by dense forests of giant trees, the Qinling mountain terrain was filled with an extremely primitive natural aura. At the same time, the area was permeated with white spiritual mist, and the concentration of spiritual energy was extremely high.

Naturally... the beasts living here were all extremely powerful.

However, this area was very quiet. From time to time, only the harsh, unpleasant cries of crows could be heard in the forest, making it appear even colder and more ominous.

This was because this area was the territory of a powerful creature.

Snake Valley.

It was a natural, massive valley, and the bottom of the valley was teeming with a dense, swarming mass of Black Giant Snakes.

Their numbers were countless, and every Black Giant Snake was at least thirty-some meters long.

Compared to the twenty-meter-long Black Giant Snake that had once entered Ye Yang's territory, there was no doubt that in these past few months, the increase in spiritual energy concentration had led to a higher evolutionary level for the Black Giant Snakes in this Snake Valley.

In the deepest part of Snake Valley, a Black Giant Snake with an extremely grim and cold aura was coiled!

The massive black coil it formed was as high as a twenty-meter-tall residential building where humans lived. Every jet-black snake scale was the size of an adult. Within a few hundred meters, the other Black Giant Snakes of the same kind dared not approach this behemoth.

Abruptly.

A pair of huge, devil-like vertical pupils opened and suddenly constricted.

A scarlet snake tongue flicked out, and the Snake Mother murmured in her heart...

"Strange, why do I have a feeling of palpitations... It's as if something bad is about to happen..."

"Could it be that some danger is approaching?!"

"Or could it be... that hateful guy is coming to snatch my treasure..."

Her massive body, over a hundred meters long, twitched, and she turned to look at the stone wall behind her.

Growing on the stone wall were clusters of enchanting little red flowers, whose scent wafting through the air was exceptionally alluring, making one unable to resist the urge to devour them.

Staring at the enchanting red flowers on the stone wall, the Snake Mother's vertical pupils constantly constricted and dilated. Expressions of greed and hesitation alternated, and she fell into an inner struggle.

"The red flower spiritual plant on the stone wall is about to mature... Should I devour it... or offer it to that hateful guy..."

"But if I offer the spiritual plant, I don't know when my evolutionary level will be able to breakthrough... That hateful guy is just too powerful... Even if my evolutionary level breaks through, I definitely won't be a match for him..."

In the end, after struggling for a long time, the Snake Mother gave up the idea of consuming the enchanting red flower spiritual plant to raise her evolutionary level.

After all, no matter how important the evolutionary level was, it wasn't as important as her snake life...

"Hiss..."

"Damn it, if only I possessed powerful strength!"

Irritated, the Snake Mother's head suddenly shot off into the distance!

Swish!

Her massive body displayed unimaginable speed. A streak of black light flashed by, and the black tide formed by the Black Giant Snakes in the distance fell into a panic!

The Snake Mother was like a bomb, instantly making the "Black Tide" surge!

A series of hair-raising "hissing" sounds erupted instantly!

The black snake tide quickly surged towards the periphery... Soon, an open space was cleared on the ground of Snake Valley.

Under their trembling bodies and the gaze of their terrified snake eyes, their mother, the Snake Mother herself, was constricting and killing their own kind.

Then, with her abyss-like black maw, she swallowed the Black Giant Snake, whose head had been crushed, into her body in one gulp!

The Snake Mother was actually devouring her own kind...
