Chapter 435 Snake Blood
The curtains inside the RV were tightly drawn, and not a single ray of light could be seen filtering through. The faint sound of two people talking could be heard from inside.
“A spirit orb has been destroyed, and the venomous fang has fallen into the hands of a player named Mengmeng. Go and retrieve the venomous fang for me.”
"My lord, you desire venomous fangs? I can find you many..."
"Don't be so clever!" The cold voice was filled with anger. "All I want is that poisonous fang in Mengmeng's hand!"
"...I understand. I will find a way to get that venomous fang back for you."
"You must retrieve that venomous fang; there can be no mistakes!"
“But sir,” Feng Yiming said respectfully, his gaze lowered, “that Mengmeng is the strongest player in our district, with the highest combat power. I’m afraid… I’m no match for her.”
After saying this, Feng Yiming waited nervously for the other party's response.
But the other party remained silent for a long time.
In the deathly silence, Feng Yiming began to feel uneasy and panicked.
He steadied himself and said, "Sir, please don't misunderstand. I'm not worried about my own safety, but rather I'm afraid that if I fail to complete the mission, I will be exposed."
After a long while, the cold voice finally spoke, "I see right through your little schemes. It's not shameful to be afraid of death. But I have given you precious snake blood. You are the strongest being in the road game and have nothing to fear from anyone."
Feng Yiming was overjoyed, but he still couldn't help but wonder: "I'm the strongest? But my combat power isn't even in the top 100 of the rankings... Why is that?"
Is that drop of snake blood really that powerful?
Also, who exactly is the other party?
He knows too much and seems to have a lot of authority.
"Foolish! It's because the combat power from me won't be detected by the system. Otherwise, your overwhelming combat power would definitely cause panic." The voice was full of contempt, yet also arrogant.
Feng Yiming understood; it seemed the other party was indeed no ordinary person!
"My lord, I will definitely kill Mengmeng and retrieve the Poison Fang!"
"Ha, killing is your own business. I just want you to take back the venomous fangs."
Feng Yiming's face stiffened.
That's right, he did want to kill Mengmeng and take her place.
But since the other party did not object, it means that Mengmeng can be killed.
"Let me tell you one more thing, the snake blood in your body is currently being suppressed. To break the suppression, you need blood, human blood or blood from your own kind."
Feng Yiming was startled, suddenly remembering his unusual behavior when facing Zhou Tao that day.
He smelled a familiar scent on Zhou Tao, but he didn't get the same feeling from the other people in the convoy.
Zhou Tao swallowed a snake-like spirit pearl...
Some changes in his body...
Feng Yiming was shocked. Could it be that he was a snake now?
Thinking of the video Mengmeng posted in the chat area, in which Zhou Tao completely lost her mind and turned into a snake within a few days, wouldn't he also follow in Zhou Tao's footsteps?
Thinking of this, Feng Yiming's face turned deathly pale.
He wants to gain power, but if the price is his life, he would rather not have such power!
But... it was too late.
He drank that drop of snake blood!
Feng Yiming couldn't help but recall the events of that day.
It was an ordinary day, but he witnessed an exceptionally fierce battle.
The people who can withstand weapons with their bare hands, the people who can control the dead, the huge white bone, and the few people who are famous on the leaderboard—their bitter battles all look so thrilling.
Even long after the battle ended and Mengmeng and her group left, he was still unable to come back to his senses.
Until that voice woke him up: "Do you want to become as powerful as them?"
Feng Yiming's eyes reddened. "Yes!"
He dreams of becoming stronger and becoming a big shot admired by thousands.
"Drink this drop of blood, obey my commands, and do not tell anyone. I will help you become stronger."
Suddenly, a drop of bright red blood appeared before my eyes, floating in mid-air, which looked very strange.
Without any hesitation, Feng Yiming drank the drop of blood.
"Will this make me stronger?"
The voice didn't answer him, but said, "Wait for me to find you."
Feng Yiming hurriedly asked, "Why me? Why are you helping me become stronger?"
"Because only those who have witnessed everything just now will crave power even more."
After leaving those words, the person seemed to depart, and Feng Yiming never saw that person again.
From that day on, he noticed some changes in himself; for example, he preferred humid environments and disliked bright light.
He even occasionally encountered snakes, but they didn't seem to want to attack him.
As for their strength, it seems there has been no increase.
He himself had almost forgotten about it, until... he entered this map.
He felt something stirring inside him, covered in scales, sharp teeth, and... legs that had turned into a snake's tail.
So, it all started because of that drop of blood!
Feng Yiming was afraid that he would end up like Zhou Tao.
"What are you worried about?" the cold voice said again. "Snake blood doesn't have the side effects of the Spirit Pearl. Don't worry, you will definitely not become like that."
Feng Yiming: Really?
“I won’t lie to you. But if you fail to complete the task I’ve given you, I will take back that drop of snake blood.”
Feng Yiming shuddered: "Take back the snake blood? Then, what will happen to me?"
"Ha, without snake blood you will be devoured by ten thousand snakes."
Just imagining that scene made Feng Yiming feel breathless. He quickly said, "Please rest assured, sir, I will risk my life to get back the Poison Fang for you!"
"You should have realized this a long time ago."
There was no movement inside the RV. Feng Yiming quietly pondered how to kill Mengmeng.
The adult said that the snake blood in his body was suppressed, which meant he couldn't unleash its full power.
The suppression must be lifted first.
But to release the suppression, one needs human or snake blood...
Feng Yiming smiled sinisterly, pulled out an item card from his system inventory, and a perfect plan formed in his mind.
...
On the fourth day after entering the "Path to Power" map, Qin Jiu, as usual, formed a team in the group chat to explore the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.
Because they had planned ahead, the players were already prepared. As soon as she called out, the players joined the team in an orderly manner, and the team was quickly formed.
As the team leader, she activated the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, and the team was instantly teleported in.
This is a relatively open meadow, and a gentle breeze carries the fresh scent of grass.
In the distance, there are mountains, deep forests, and streams, a scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers.
I'm Ah Shi: "Wow, the scenery here is so beautiful."
Sugar Chestnut: "Main Quest: Gather! Side Quest: Kill Monsters."
Manpo: "Team Leader Qin, should we split up or act separately later?"
Qin Jiu: "This secret realm is relatively safe, but there are some monsters that are quite troublesome and require multiple people to work together to kill them. Everyone can form a three-person team to move around. If you encounter danger and the team can't handle it, immediately post your location in the group to ask for help."
"Also, based on my experience from entering the secret realm multiple times, killing monsters gives more experience than collecting spiritual plants and herbs. However, killing monsters consumes more stamina, so everyone can choose the appropriate method to farm experience."
"We will be staying in the secret realm for 24 days, which is only one day in the outside world. Everyone can make full use of these 24 days to gain experience. When you leave the secret realm, the experience can be exchanged for attribute points. So everyone, form your teams and let's begin."
