Pretending To Be A Boss

The Nvwa Snake's body became even larger, like an endless winding ice dragon!

Tang Xian, Qiao Shanshan, and Tang Xiaojiu all entered its attack range.

Once prey entered the attack range in its serpentine form, the snake's head would lunge in an instant with a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch!

As Tang Xiaojiu was preparing to spit fox-fire, she only felt the huge snake head seemed to move, yet seemed not to.

Immediately after, she was hit by a powerful force that sent her flying.

Qiao Shanshan and Dong Ran exclaimed in shock, their eyes filled with grief and terror.

In an instant, the Nvwa Snake swallowed Tang Xian, who was running at the back, whole.

"Tang!" Dong Ran screamed, her voice tinged with a sob.

Akasi was also stunned by this scene, the snake's overall speed wasn't fast, but the speed of its attack in that instant was truly astonishing.

Everything happened too quickly, before anyone could react, Tang Xian was completely swallowed into the snake's belly.

Tang Xiaojiu was stunned; she had never experienced a scene like this before.

The Nvwa Snake looked at these tiny humans with eyes full of pride and brutality.

The massive head scales continued to turn even whiter.

Akasi pulled the ice crystal that had pierced his calf right out, enduring the pain, and his figure flickered before once again appearing in front of everyone, shouting:

"Go! Don't stop!"

Qiao Shanshan, carrying Tang Suoye, almost bit through her lip, she gathered her pain and thoughts and said:

"Dong Ran, don't freeze up, run with Xiaojiu! Otherwise, we'll all die!"

Dong Ran nodded, grabbed Tang Xiaojiu's hand, and prepared to leave, but she found she couldn't move Tang Xiaojiu at all.

She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she always felt... that the girl's ears... seemed to have gotten sharper suddenly.

An immense oppressive force came over them, stronger than that from the Nvwa Snake, and Dong Ran couldn't tell where the suffocating pressure was coming from.

Tang Xiaojiu had her back to Dong Ran the whole time, only Akasi saw this scene.

He saw Tang Xiaojiu's ears become somewhat pointed, small tiger teeth emerge, and her pupils turn amber.

Despite her still adorable facial features, it gave Akasi a feeling of a peerless fierce beast!

But just at that moment, the transformation suddenly stopped.

Tang Xiaojiu's gaze remained fixed on the Nvwa Snake, which originally had a look of cruelty and disdain. Gradually, it showed signs of pain.

Akasi followed Tang Xiaojiu's gaze and also realized something was amiss.

The Nvwa Snake's body seemed to start convulsing, it opened its mouth wide, its head striking aimlessly, and any massive trees it touched would directly snap.

All this indicated the Nvwa Snake was in great pain.

Tang Xiaojiu was stunned, something came to her little mind.

Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan watched the scene in disbelief as they retreated far away.

...

...

Stomach juices kept dripping on Tang Xian, and he didn't know whether to feel relieved or disgusted.

If he had been bitten by the serpent's teeth just now, his body would probably have been severed in two.

Fortunately, his body was a little too small compared to the full size of the Nvwa Snake, so small that it didn't need to be chewed.

This was almost what he had calculated.

Tang Xian didn't like risking his life; after all, one only had one life, but today's perilous situation was due to his own miscalculation.

Luckily, the snake was targeting the leader. He still had a chance to turn the tide.

Man and serpent reached a consensus.

You want to eat me, and I want you to eat me.

Of course, I'll eat you back in the end.

The corrosive stomach fluids, dripping continuously, fell on Tang Xian, and inside the snake's stomach were many remnants of fish.

[Current damage received is 7 percent of life points; current life recovery speed is 747 percent.]

Tang Xian wasn't sure how he had acquired such a strong life recovery ability. But he could guess it was related to the last mine area test of seven days of survival limit.

As long as it wasn't fatal damage that could kill him instantly, he could recover fully in an instant. That was the general idea now.

If he had been swallowed by the great snake and chewed by its shockingly powerful jaws even twice, he would have undoubtedly died. But thankfully...

The stomach acids were causing sustained damage.

"Maximum life point damage. Such extraordinary stomach fluids from a calamitous creature, it's a pity I didn't bring a container. Otherwise, I'd take some back for Shang Lu to research."

He didn't deliberately dodge the stomach acids. It was just pain and nausea.

The pain was gradually subsiding, but the nausea wasn't going to subside.

He took out the kitchen knife from his tool bag and began to stab, one cut after another.

[Successfully resisted Nvwa Snake's stomach acid damage.]

[Gained one point of Nvwa Snake resistance.]

[Successfully inflicted damage on Nvwa Snake, enhanced damage against Nvwa Snake by one point.]

In the sea of consciousness, the messages of life points being reduced by 7 percent, recovery of life points, and the inflicting of damage and gaining of resistance against the Nvwa Snake kept looping.

Tang Xian realized that snakes and dogs were categorized into different types.

But humans weren't distinguished as yellow, black, white, male, female, old, or young.

"Is it because my humanity doesn't have enough prestige?"

Originally hoping to max out his resistance to the entire snake species through the Nvwa Snake, Tang Xian found his plan had failed and began to stab around with the kitchen knife, dissatisfied.

From time to time, he would throw out some soul-searching questions, like do I taste good, what's it like to eat me, are fish remains left because it can't digest them well?

The great snake didn't respond to him, and it was then that Tang Xian realized that this snake, after all, was not the White Phosphorus Serpent Demon and couldn't communicate with him. Enjoy more content from empire

What followed was a violent shaking, overturning heaven and earth, as the food remnants splashed on his face.

Tang Xian knew the great snake was writhing and rolling, and he continued to stab the knife while enduring the dizziness.

After a long while, the shaking started to weaken.

Tang Xian shook his head slightly, and the dizziness decreased a bit.

The stomach had been punctured.

The Nvwa Snake was extremely weak.

It was only after the sea of consciousness prompted updates to the achievements for "Unrivaled" and "Adversary of Ten Thousand" with the new creature Nvwa Snake added that Tang Xian slowly made his way from the esophagus toward the snake's throat.

The dozens of meters long Nvwa Snake, with its mouth wide open, was also awaiting something to emerge from its belly.
