Python Rebirth on Survival Island

Chapter 20



An Easy Swallow

Gobble gobble!

Hiss hiss!

This was the sound Ye Bei made as he swallowed up the human.

If it were just a case of an ordinary snake eating a human, it wouldn’t have been this unbelievable.

However, this scene stunned the remaining four survivors into a shocked stupor.

It was a giant snake with red and black patterns interwoven around its body.

When its body stood erect, it was more than three meters tall. A forked tongue poked out of its mouth, bringing with it the strong scent of blood. At that moment, the snake was condescendingly looking down at the humans from above.

With its mouth opened wide, it revealed its venomous fangs, which, dripping with blood, looked as if they could tear apart and consume anything.

Moreover, this time around, everyone confirmed without a doubt that the voice they had heard moments before had indeed come from this snake.

“Hal!”

“D*mn it! This guy killed Hal!”

“Assh*le!”

“Shoot him! Shoot him!”

The four remaining survivors stared at the scene with widened eyes. They were frozen for a good two seconds before finally reacting.

In actual fact, Ye Bei had a hundred and one ways to kill them in those two seconds…

However, for some unknown reason, Ye Bei found himself immensely enjoying the look of fear on these humans’ faces. He couldn’t explain the change in his mentality. Was this a sign that he was slowly becoming more like a beast?

Ye Bei pondered to himself.

Then, when the four remaining humans pointed their guns at him again, Ye Bei’s reaction speed was undoubtedly faster.

Whoosh!

The four people didn’t even have a chance to shoot.

Ye Bei, whose body had been strengthened several times, could easily surpass these humans in terms of physical fitness and speed.

Crash bang crash…

There was a whoosh, followed by a loud crashing noise. In the blink of an eye, Ye Bei knocked the assault rifles out of the humans’ hands, flinging the weapons more than 20 meters away.

Before they could even process what was happening, the four remaining humans found that their weapons had disappeared from their hands.

And the snake in front of them, whose species was beyond the scope of their knowledge, continued to stick its forked tongue out at them, its predatory intent oozing forth.

“Next, I will ask you a few questions! If your answers are satisfactory, I might spare your life! Otherwise, all of you will die.” Only after he knocked the weapons out of the humans’ hands did Ye Bei finally open his mouth and continue talking.

However, in the eyes of the four humans, what they saw was something else altogether.

All they saw was a snake over five meters in length, coiled in front of them with its mouth opening and closing. Then, from its mouth came the low voice of a man, and it spoke in English, a language that everyone could understand. Their hopes that the previous incident was an illusion were instantly dashed.

The snake… was speaking like a human!

What did that mean?

The humans’ first thought was that this snake had developed a sentient consciousness.

If this turned out to be the case, then this was huge. If animals could in fact communicate directly with humans, the world would be turned upside down.

“Your target is the Blood Pythons! I heard your conversation just now. You mentioned that a Blood Python had swallowed something. Can you tell me what that something was?”

Ye Bei couldn’t be bothered with these humans’ thoughts at the moment.

Now that he was incarnated as a python, Ye Bei possessed his own form of consciousness. It was impossible for him to continue living according to the rules of humans.

The skinny, shrewd-looking man couldn’t bring himself to accept what he was seeing. After hearing what Ye Bei said, he continued to question him, a look of horror on his face. “Are… are you really the one speaking? A Blood Python? Snakes can speak?”

Hiss!

As for Ye Bei, he didn’t show any mercy.

An icy look flashed across his eyes, and he violently opened his mouth wide. The next moment, he swallowed the man whole with a loud hiss.

Wham…

In less than two seconds, Ye Bei spit out a huge backpack from his mouth. It was the backpack the man had been carrying on his back.

The backpack was stained with blood.

Much of the fabric was eroded away, and many of the weapons within it were now exposed. Through their night vision instruments, the other team members could clearly see the various weapons.

“No! No! Marlon!”

Another person had been consumed by the snake. The woman, who was about to lose it, started screaming hysterically.

“Have Hal and Marlon both been eaten by the snake?” The black man who led the group was stunned as well.

This snake killed at the slightest hint of disagreement or displeasure. And it remained erect in front of the man’s eyes. The terrifying sense of oppression he experienced at that moment was even worse than anything he had ever experienced on the battlefield when charging at the enemy with his machine gun.

“I… am going to kill you!”

However…

…even as the scent of death continued to waft through the air…

…the leader, Jonah, didn’t possess any sense of situational awareness. With the courage that could only stem from a fool’s ignorance, he took the pistol from his hip with one hand and reached for his grenade at the back of his belt with his other. Judging from his posture, it was obvious that he intended to fight Ye Bei.

“I was still conflicted about whether or not to kill humans! But since all of you are so eager to die, I won’t hold back any longer.”

When he saw what Jonah was up to, Ye Bei’s predatory instincts reared their head again.

Crunch!

He opened his mouth wide and stuck out his red forked tongue, then easily wrapped it around Jonah.

Whoosh!

Then, he pulled his tongue back into his mouth!

Jonah, who was still holding his weapon, had no chance to resist, and was immediately pulled into the depths of Ye Bei’s belly.

Gurgle gurgle…

The very instant Ye Bei swallowed him, with the help of the system, he was immediately digested, and was turned into Evolution Points right there and then.

Jonah was dead!

He didn’t even have the chance to resist, and he was dead!

At that moment, the only humans who were still alive were the Charlie’s Angel-lookalike, Ella, and Alec, who had been silent throughout the entire journey. They were completely dumbfounded.

The fear of death coursed through their veins and spread throughout their bodies.

However, Ella was quick to respond.

When Jonah died, Ye Bei’s original question kept replaying in her mind.

“We don’t really know what that pearl is either. We heard about it from the laboratory by accident. It’s said to be from a meteorite, and it contains a very powerful force! But there was an accident, and someone snuck the pearl out. And then it was swallowed by a python.” Ella practically screamed this entire monologue.

The Mystic Pearl!

A meteorite?

A laboratory…

A Blood Python had swallowed it?

Although Ella hadn’t said much, the information she revealed was significant.

However…

Wham!

Ye Bei had no sympathy to speak of. The moment Ella finished her monologue, Ye Bei opened his mouth wide and swallowed her. After all, she was worth 5000 Evolution Points, and it would have been extremely wasteful not to eat her.

After eating Ella, Ye Bei said calmly, “This woman’s voice was too high pitched and was really grating on my ears. Why couldn’t she just answer me normally? Why did she have to yell like that…”

He turned his eyes to the last survivor, the white man named Alec.

This man had given Ye Bei a very different impression right from the get-go.

“You’re the only one left! Out with it. What do you know?”

Ye Bei continued his line of questioning!

It was clear from his tone that he expected full compliance… At the same time, after consuming four humans in a row, he had gained 20000 Evolution Points. As he spoke, his body started to undergo tremendous changes.

Most importantly, the voice of the System unexpectedly rang out.
