174: Chapter 174 A Giant Serpent About to Transform into a Dragon? An Epic Chosen One! ? Leave the Crab Behind!

Shen Yuan tilted his head and circulated his spiritual power.

Three massive question marks manifested above his head, wobbling as they hung in mid-air.

Uncle Gou's lip twitched. "You actually used spiritual power to turn yourself into a literal 'question mark face'?"

Shen Yuan chuckled and asked curiously, "Uncle Gou, what is the Supernatural Management Bureau?"

"A three-hundred-year-old wolf?"

"Is it a demon?"

As soon as he heard it involved demonic creatures, Shen Yuan immediately perked up.

Uncle Gou rolled his eyes. "The Supernatural Management Bureau, its full name is the Xia Kingdom Supernatural Living Beings..."

"Wait a second, what was the full name again?"

He fumbled around his person for a while and pulled out a dark green identification booklet.

"Oh!"

"The Xia Kingdom Bureau of Supernatural Living Beings Supervision, Defense, Registration, Management, Combat Logistics Support, and Crisis Disposal!"

Uncle Gou recited it word for word.

Shen Yuan's mouth twitched repeatedly.

So, who exactly came up with the names for this department and Bureau 789?

To be able to give an agency such a long and tongue-twisting name without being beaten to death...

They must be someone in a very high position with boundless power.

Otherwise, they would have been beaten to death long ago!

"Go solve the problem first."

Uncle Gou waved his hand. "As a partner of Bureau 789... Young Master, I have high hopes for you!"

Shen Yuan gave him an annoyed look, turned around, and left.

Forget it, he couldn't waste any more time!

If he delayed any longer and the soldiers on the island couldn't hold out, it would all be over!

He would deal with Uncle Gou's business later!

The She Mountain Island coastline.

Artillery roared and flames raged.

But in the face of that dense shelling, the casualties among the group of creatures opposite them were negligible.

It was a group of... golden-yellow creatures standing three meters tall...

Crabs?!

There were at least several hundred of them.

Artillery shells smashed into the crab shells without leaving even a single crack.

At most, they could only flip the crabs over, but they couldn't kill them.

The crabs' giant claws swung wildly, smashing hard against the base gates; the titanium alloy gates had already mostly shattered.

The base commander, Liu Tianhe, gritted his teeth.

"Has everyone evacuated?"

He shouted at his adjutant.

"Not yet!"

The adjutant's voice was urgent. "The water is the crabs' home turf; the evacuation speed simply can't be picked up!"

Liu Tianhe suddenly gave a tragic smile. "Tell the brothers to take grenades, rocket launchers..."

"Since the base can't be held..."

"Then come with me!"

He grabbed a submachine gun and was the first to charge out. "Use our flesh and blood to block the gates!"

Liu Tianhe assembled all the soldiers and roared sternly, "Brothers, follow me and kill!"

"Killing one makes it worth it!"

"For every extra one we kill, our comrades behind us will suffer one less casualty!"

"Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to charge out. Behind him, the soldiers roared and followed closely.

There was no other way... the shells were long gone, and now they could only fight to the death with their bodies of flesh and blood.

Just then, Shen Yuan arrived, hurtling through the air.

Just as he was about to land, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned his gaze toward the sea ahead.

The seawater churned violently, waves surging.

The group of mutated crabs seemed to sense something and all stopped in their tracks.

Mutated crabs actually didn't need to walk sideways anymore...

The crabs turned around in unison.

Liu Tianhe, leading the soldiers, was halfway through his charge when he slammed on the brakes.

Although they weren't afraid to die, who would want to die if they could live?

What was wrong with these crabs now?

Liu Tianhe looked at the sea, his mouth twitching twice.

Great!

There's no way we're getting out of here alive today!

In the water... it looks like something even bigger has arrived!

Boom!

A massive figure lunged out of the water.

"Ang!"

The giant creature lunged out and let out a roar.

That sound... held an inexplicable majesty.

Shen Yuan stared at the behemoth that had appeared.

It was a giant snake!

Its entire body was bluish-black...

Just the part exposed above the water was already a good seventeen or eighteen meters long.

And...

Shen Yuan squinted; on top of this giant snake's head...

There was a faint protrusion.

Shen Yuan: A Flood Dragon!?

No, it hasn't evolved into a Flood Dragon yet!

"Ding, discovered an Epic-level Child of Destiny!"

The system's voice rang out.

Shen Yuan: "????"

His face full of surprise instantly turned into one of bewilderment.

What did you say?

A snake is a f*cking Child of Destiny?

"Ding, has the Host ever read those... novels where someone transmigrates or is reborn as a beast?"

The system inquired.

Shen Yuan chuckled. "I have!"

"I remember the first one I read was 'Anaconda's Calamity'!"

Shen Yuan let out a breath. "What was he called? Wang Badao or Wang Balai... he even ate the First Emperor's Dragon Pearl!"

That was his earliest contact with novels about transmigrating into a beast.

"So, this snake is that kind of Child of Destiny?"

Shen Yuan asked speechlessly, "What kind of decent person transmigrates into a snake... when eating, you have to swallow things whole and alive, it's hard to stomach!"

"Ding, once you transmigrate into a beast, you'll be able to swallow things whole and alive just to stay alive!"

The system said indifferently.

Shen Yuan's lip curled. "Fortunately, I haven't!"

"System, is he a transmigrator or a regressor?"

Shen Yuan asked.

"Ding, one thousand villain points to scan him for you!"

The system said.

"Fine, fine, fine, hurry up and deduct it!"

Shen Yuan said irritably, "You're just stingy with your villain points!"

"Ding, alright!"

"Host is awesome!"

The system complimented.

Shen Yuan: "..."

The system had started to get a bit crazy lately too.

It seemed it wasn't the system occupying his brain, but rather the system being assimilated by his brain.

"Ding, he's a regressor!"

The system announced, "Oho!"

"He was actually an anti-drug policeman!"

The system said in surprise, "I'll send you his name, go look it up online yourself!"

Shen Yuan was stunned. "An anti-drug policeman, and his information can be found online?"

Doesn't that mean...

All the relatives in his family have also passed away?

He is a martyr.

Liu Tianhe and the soldiers stared blankly at the giant snake.

My goodness!

An even fiercer one really did show up!

What do we do now?

Wait for death?

Just looking at its size, you could tell this thing was much harder to deal with than the crabs!

"Ang!"

The giant snake raised its head and let out a roar.

The crabs trembled and quietly retreated.

The bluish-black giant snake slithered, slowly approaching from the sea surface; it opened its mouth and swallowed a crab directly into its belly.

Immediately following that, it let out a roar and suddenly opened its mouth to suck...

The crabs flew up one after another like kites with broken strings, falling into the snake's mouth in succession.

Not long after.

The giant snake's movements paused.

It was stuffed.

Giant Snake: "..."

A bit of a waste!

This seafood is really fresh!

What a pity, I only ate a dozen or so and I'm already full.

The giant snake let out an angry hiss, its massive tail suddenly reared up and slammed down from the sky!

Boom—!

A dozen crabs were instantly smashed into meat paste.

The entire She Mountain Island vibrated violently twice.

Liu Tianhe: "..."

Is this... here to help us?

Shen Yuan hastily cried out, "Leave the crabs under your tail!"

With a whoosh, he darted out.

He suddenly reached out his hand...

The giant snake's tail slammed down once again.

Giant Snake: "????"

Oh no!

I can't hold back the force!

This person is going to be smashed to death by me!

Duang!

Shen Yuan remained motionless...

His body was smashed into the ground.

But he still maintained the posture of holding up his hand.

Shen Yuan: (ーー;)

This island isn't very sturdy either!

The giant snake carefully moved its tail away.

It's over...

I killed someone!

But in the next moment...

Giant Snake: o_O || ?

Not dead!?

Shen Yuan looked up and grinned. "I said..."

"Leave the crabs under your tail!"

"I've never eaten a three-meter-wide crab before!"
