Chapter 1 An Afternoon's Harvest

"Evolution points +7000..."

Zhang Ji's eyes shone with a fierce light, and he slowly moved, his massive body gradually appearing from the mist, a corner of it revealed. Dark brown scales rubbed against the ground, gleaming with a cold, somber light. His oval head rose high.

Like a monarch surveying his territory, his narrow, scarlet eyes were both majestic and sinister.

Such a ferocious and enormous Titan python king cobra was beyond everyone's imagination, enough to break world records. The surrounding beasts were filled with terror and horror.

A five-meter-tall black-haired pig mustered its courage and stepped forward, writing on the ground with its hooves:

"Brother, we were all humans. Now we've turned into monsters. We can't kill each other. We must unite and eat grass together in the future..."

"Whoosh~"

Zhang Ji suddenly opened his bloody maw and swallowed the pig whole. The black-haired pig was crushed between fangs and teeth, blood splattering everywhere, and then swallowed, skin and hair included.

Sorry, this Zhang only eats meat!

The surrounding beasts finally reacted. This giant python was different from them. They scattered in terror, fleeing in all directions.

Zhang Ji moved his massive body, hunting and preying everywhere.

But with human consciousness, the difficulty of Zhang Ji's hunts increased dramatically. He didn't have much to show for an entire afternoon.

Helpless, he began to attack the adjacent High-Tech Zone.

Many people had suddenly turned into fierce beasts and monsters overnight and hadn't yet adapted. And humans, when faced with disasters or problems, liked to gather together to discuss them.

Zhang Ji seized the opportunity to hunt and kill, finally swallowing more than a dozen monster beasts gathered together in one go. Only a few escaped.

He was very satisfied.

Then he went to the more distant Southern District, harvesting a large sum of evolution points using the same method.

He turned his direction and rushed towards the Northern and Eastern Districts.

But as soon as he showed his head, a five-meter-tall rooster on the roof crowed loudly, warning all directions. The monster beasts in the streets scattered in a panic, fleeing and hiding.

"It's even standing guard!"

Zhang Ji's eyes were cold. He pounced, charging like a high-speed train, crushing all obstacles, finally swallowing the rooster in one gulp.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

The rooster let out a final, shrill, terrified cry, but was quickly chewed to pieces by Zhang Ji's fangs, leaving only a few bloody feathers fluttering in the void.

"Evolution points +10000, accumulated evolution points 725500/1000000"

Zhang Ji was very moved. He didn't know if it was due to the red rain or the fact that the monsters had human consciousness, but the evolution points provided had increased significantly.

After eating the rooster that was standing guard, Zhang Ji dragged his massive body through the streets, hunting and patrolling.

But after wandering around for several laps, he didn't gain much. He felt a sense of regret and helplessness.

"Boom~"

He crashed through a five-story building, his powerful body shattering half of it, and returned to the Western District with a gust of bloody wind.

Not long after.

Monsters emerged from the mist, gathering in front of the collapsed building, looking at the traces left on the ground and in the grass by the crushed snake body, their eyes filled with horror and relief.

A large ox wrote on the ground with its hooves, "Fortunately, friends from the Western District sent news, and we were prepared in advance, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"And brother Wang Er sacrificed himself to stand guard for us."

"This king cobra may be a foreign species, different from us. There's no reasoning with it."

A rabbit also wrote, "That's right. It's much bigger than any of us who turned into monsters, at least twenty meters long. Today, it unscrupulously preyed throughout the town. Several brothers who went to reason with it were swallowed."

"I suspect that the disasters that happened at night a few days ago were mostly caused by this guy."

A rat more than six meters tall also wrote on the ground, "I propose that we work together to eliminate this king cobra, otherwise none of us will survive."

This sentence was met with approval from many surrounding monster beasts.

"Okay, I agree!"

"I also agree, let's eliminate this foreign king cobra!"

"Let's avenge the people of Xichuan Town who died, and avenge brother Wang Er!"

"But this guy is too ferocious. We're no match for it alone. I suggest we join forces with the other districts to act together. There are many who hate it!"

A group of people discussed it, the discussion was very intense.

Human intelligence is very terrifying. In order to deal with Zhang Ji, this ferocious king cobra, they quickly developed a plan, named "Foreign Species Elimination Plan."

Then they quickly joined forces with the other districts and made thorough arrangements.

Zhang Ji returned to the Western District. The streets were empty, without a single monster in sight, and there was no sound, only the vast mist.

Red rain fell from the mist, as if dyeing the fog, turning it blood red.

Xichuan Town was even more eerie and sinister.

The plants in the garden, stimulated by the red rain, grew at a rate visible to the naked eye, as if they had been injected with growth hormones.

In just an afternoon, Xichuan Town was lush with greenery, with towering trees everywhere, some even taller than three-story buildings.

And on the brick-paved roads and in the cracks of the asphalt roads, sprouts of grass and trees began to emerge, growing extremely fast under the stimulation of the mist and red rain.

Zhang Ji dragged his massive body and swam past, his eyes filled with worry.

"Maybe it won't be long before the entire Xichuan Town becomes a forest!"

The traces of humanity were quietly disappearing, swallowed by the earth. In a few years, there might be no Xichuan Town, only a vast primeval forest.

"And in the forest, there will definitely be a king cobra!"

Zhang Ji's eyes became firm and cold, full of the desire to survive and the determination to become stronger.

"Whoosh~"

He stirred up a gust of bloody wind, and like a high-speed train, sped through the mist, leaving behind a vortex of mist, and disappeared.

A moment later.

Zhang Ji arrived at the Niu Niu Le Farm.

From a distance, Zhang Ji heard chaos in the farm. There were even roars of wild beasts coming from inside, and a fierce aura surged out in waves.

Zhang Ji swam to the outside of the fence, quietly raised his oval head to observe, and was shocked to find that the cattle, sheep, and pigs had mutated.

Each of them had grown fangs and serrated teeth. They were larger than before, filled with a fierce baleful aura, their eyes scarlet and tyrannical, pouncing on each other, devouring each other.

The roofs of several breeding bases had already been overturned.

The red rain drifted with the mist, falling on them, merging into their flesh and blood, and their auras were quietly rising.

Zhang Ji's eyes shone with a fierce light, he was very excited.

He had been worried that the flesh and blood of these livestock were too low-level and would provide too few evolution points. He didn't expect that under the double stimulation of the red rain and mist, they would also mutate.

"That's right, humans can become beasts and mutate, so animals should too! Even plants..."

Zhang Ji fell silent.

Because in the outer forest of the extreme west, in the sinkhole that suddenly collapsed, wasn't that black, strange vine a plant?

Perhaps, plants had already mutated, but it just hadn't been discovered yet.

"Maybe Xichuan Town will become even more dangerous in the future!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Ji felt a sense of urgency, a sense of crisis. A ruthless look appeared in his eyes, and with a gust of bloody wind, he rushed into the herd of cattle, sheep, and pigs below, and began to devour them.

Blood splattered, bones and flesh tore apart, and a fierce aura surged. The entire farm became a hellish existence like a beast-fighting arena, and blood stained the ground red.

Under the night sky, the mist was hazy, and the red rain flew.

Tonight, Xichuan Town was very quiet. There were few roars of beasts, no shadows of monsters could be seen, and the bloody smell was much lighter.

In an underground parking lot, thousands of monster beasts had gathered densely.

There were cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, as well as giant pythons, tigers, monkeys, dogs... but each of them had fangs and claws, none of them shorter than three meters, and they were all filled with a fierce aura.

They gathered together in an organized manner, and in the middle, a high platform was built, on which three monsters with bodies reaching fifteen meters were entrenched.

A taipan, a five-tailed danghu chicken, and a Suanni.

The three beasts were the leaders selected by the beasts, the most powerful and terrifying, with majestic eyes and ferocious auras, like three prehistoric beasts.

Especially the Suanni, the first of the three giant beasts. It possessed the bloodline of the dragon, and its oppressive force was extremely strong, as majestic as a lion, but as ferocious as a lynx.

Its scarlet eyes naturally radiated a fierce light when they opened and closed, and the surrounding beasts were somewhat frightened and dared not approach.

"Everyone, my name is Long Chen, and I belong to the dragon sign. Long Shuhai, the district head of Xichuan Town, is my father!"

The Suanni wrote by clawing on the ground. The solid steel plate was scratched with sparks, leaving clear characters, showing how sharp and terrifying the claws were.

The surrounding beasts all showed awe.

The taipan and the five-tailed danghu chicken, who were on the same stage with the Suanni, couldn't help but shrink their pupils, revealing caution in their eyes.

If it wasn't for cooperating to eliminate the ferocious king cobra, they really didn't want to stay with this guy, because the way it looked at them occasionally flashed with a greedy light, making them very uncomfortable.

Long Chen continued to write:

"There are friends here from the Western District, so you should know that my father, Long Shuhai, burned the forest and mysteriously disappeared, and my sister, Long Xiaoyue, crashed and was seriously injured while piloting a plane to explore a way to survive."

"They are all heroes of Xichuan Town."

"I, Long Chen, don't have my father's noble ambitions, nor my sister's selfless dedication, but I can eliminate harm for the people, uphold justice, and work with everyone to eliminate the foreign species, the king cobra, to restore peace to Xichuan Town and avenge the dead brothers and sisters!"

"Roar—"

It clenched a claw forcefully at the void, making a majestic sound like a lion's roar and a tiger's howl, shaking the entire underground parking lot.

It was born with leadership qualities and deterrence.

The surrounding beasts were excited and followed with a long howl to the sky.

Some of the female beasts and monsters had strange gleams in their eyes.

However, the other two leaders, the taipan and the five-tailed danghu chicken, who were on the same stage with Long Chen, the Suanni, changed their expressions slightly. The two looked at each other, and saw the caution and worry in each other's eyes.

What if they eliminated a king cobra, only to bring in a Suanni?

The Suanni, a fierce beast with the bloodline of the dragon, was no less ferocious than the king cobra!

At this time.

A six-meter-tall rat ran into the underground parking lot, squeaking and gesticulating to tell everyone that it had seen the king cobra go to the Niu Niu Le Farm in the extreme west.

"Niu Niu Le Farm?!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at the three leaders on the stage.

Long Chen directly wrote an order: "Set off, surround the Niu Niu Le Farm, and swallow the king cobra alive!"

It was very domineering and strong. Its scarlet eyes were so fierce that people dared not look directly at them.

With an order, the beasts moved out, ignoring the taipan and the five-tailed danghu chicken, the two leaders beside it. Displeasure flashed in their eyes, but due to the power of the Suanni, they could only follow.

Vast and mighty, the beasts went to the Niu Niu Le Farm.

At the same time.

In the Niu Niu Le Farm, Zhang Ji swallowed a four-meter-tall mutated yak in one gulp.

"Evolution points +8000, accumulated 1002300/1000000"

"You have met the conditions for the seventh evolution. Do you want to evolve into a two-headed Titan python king cobra?"

"You will have two heads, two lives, one head as a king cobra, one head as a wolf's head. You will be a hundred times more ferocious, and you will be the overlord of snakes, devouring all living things!"
