Invincible Snake Emperor

Chapter 413: Chapter 409: All Birds Are Equally Bad

Two heads were already bizarre enough, but now another one had sprouted. The sight of three heads swaying back and forth was absolutely horrifying.

Tu Xiao’an wasn’t at all surprised to see the Two-headed Snake become a Three-headed Snake. This was all part of the standard process.

In the future, this snake would sprout more and more heads, until nine of them swayed with terrifying might.

When the Ancient Nine-headed Serpent appeared, its power could make the very heavens and earth change color.

The evolution was still ongoing, but seeing the Three-headed Snake take form, Tu Xiao’an knew the process was nearing its end.

With a bloodcurdling wail, the entire villa began to tremble violently. Wave after wave of a terrifying, chilling aura burst forth from the Three-headed Snake on the floor, each more intense than the last.

Everyone was visibly shaken, feeling as if they were caught in a torrential storm. The temperature plunged to dozens of degrees below zero. It was a bone-chilling cold that no amount of clothing could ward off.

Tu Xiao’an’s eyes grew brighter. At that moment, the Three-headed Snake’s body began to explode in size from its initial one-meter length. Its aura grew more and more intense as its body grew larger and larger.

CRACK...

Cracks spread like a spiderweb across one of the villa’s walls, then radiated outward.

’Damn it, if this keeps up, my house is going to be reduced to rubble again.’

A surge of Energy erupted from the Bull Demon King’s body. He pressed a hand against the wall, and only then did the villa’s violent shaking slowly begin to subside.

Five meters... ten meters... thirteen meters...

The roof of the villa was completely torn off, as if its scalp had been ripped away. The three snake heads roared at the sky, their aura terrifying to behold.

Finally, the Three-headed Snake stopped growing at fifteen meters, having leaped into the realm of a Rank Two Spirit Monster.

”Wow, wow, wow... I, Uncle Hei, love this snake! It’s so cool!” the Blackbird squawked, flying round and round the Three-headed Snake’s body. Its eyes shone, looking as if it had a death wish.

The Tree Spirit, however, was so frightened by the Three-headed Snake’s appearance that its leaves rustled and rained down. PLOP, PLOP, PLOP. It had suddenly dropped three Spiritual Vermilion Fruits.

What a pleasant surprise.

The moment the three Spiritual Vermilion Fruits appeared, the Blackbird snatched one. The other two naturally went to the Azure Owl and Golden Pupils.

These two little guys were now prepared to stand guard by the Tree Spirit around the clock, waiting for more fruit to drop at any moment.

Tu Xiao’an floated up, flying into the space above the villa. He gazed down at the snake with its three entwined heads, his eyes narrowing slightly.

[Ding... Super Class Mutated Evolved Form: Three-headed Snake. Level 21. An incredibly terrifying Rank Two evil creature.]

’Hehe, even if it’s an evil creature, it’s *my* evil creature.’

’Not bad, not bad. It jumped directly from Level 19 to Level 21. This is the benefit of having a strong bloodline Talent.’

Just then, the three snake heads circled around Tu Xiao’an. The sight of its three heads and six eyes was enough to make one’s heart pound in terror.

”Master... Master... Master...”

Suddenly, all three heads spoke at once, as if echoing each other. They spoke human words, but their voices were extremely hoarse, as if they weren’t yet used to speaking.

”Good...” Tu Xiao’an was very pleased. At least this snake, unlike Golden Pupils, didn’t just howl after reaching Rank Two.

”Alright, alright, shrink down. You’re too big for this villa to hold you. You’ll attract the ’authorities’.”

Tu Xiao’an patted each of the three swaying heads before descending to the ground. The Three-headed Snake was very obedient and immediately began to shrink, returning to a one-meter-long version of itself, its body covered in breathtaking scales.

Now that its evolution was complete, Tu Xiao’an had no plans to send it back to Snake Valley. He would have it stay by his side for the time being.

Snake Valley could no longer satisfy this Evil Snake’s appetite. Throwing it into the Yaoling Mountain Range would be the most suitable course of action.

On this trip to the Yaoling Mountain Range, Tu Xiao’an also planned to toss the Azure Owl and Golden Pupils in to be tempered and have them properly increase their strength.

Their bloodlines were all Super Class, making them extraordinary, but their Levels were simply too low. Without reaching Rank 3, they were of no real use to Tu Xiao’an and could only be treated as pets.

”Master, when are you going to evolve me?”

The Bull Demon King’s eyes burned with intense desire. It was already incredibly difficult for his strength to improve. Even with several hundred years, he might never reach the level of a Demon King—not unless his bloodline evolved.

Seeing the bull practically pressing against him, fawning, Tu Xiao’an felt a wave of revulsion and replied perfunctorily, ”Bull, all things in their own time. Just wait.”

The Bull Demon King was instantly bewildered. ’What the hell is that supposed to mean???’

「Elsewhere...」

”Hey, Number Three, come over here. Big sis will play with you,”

the Azure Owl said, waving a wing at the Three-headed Snake with the air of a seasoned veteran. We’re all on the same team now, so we have to get along. The crucial thing, of course, is status.

”I was the first one that scoundrel subdued, so I’m the boss. This cat here is second, so we call him Ermao. You came last, so you’re Number Three. Since you have three heads, we’ll call you Three Snakes.”

In just a few sentences, the Azure Owl had made her status clear, ranking them by order of arrival.

Three Snakes swayed its heads. Looking at the incomparably beautiful Azure Owl, it didn’t immediately fly into a rage.

”ROWR...” Golden Pupils cried out, as a form of greeting.

”Ermao is a mute. It can’t talk yet,” the Azure Owl explained.

Golden Pupils was confused. ”...”

The Three-headed Snake said hoarsely, ”I want to be the boss.”

”Three Snakes, you need to learn the rules, or we won’t play with you.” The Azure Owl had seen the snake’s terrifying evolution and had already figured out that in a real fight, she probably couldn’t win.

Good thing she had already won Golden Pupils over to her side.

To protect her status, she said, ”See that big tree over there? If you’re obedient, I’ll get you a fruit to eat. It’ll make you stronger, you know!”

The Three-headed Snake doubtfully turned its six eyes toward the Tree Spirit. The Tree Spirit trembled, its leaves rustling down as it cried out in its heart, ’This is bad!’

’This ridiculously beautiful bird is no good, either.’

’It sold me out just for its status. Are all the birds in the world this wicked?’

”Tsk, tsk... You, a mere peahen, want to be the boss? Where does that put me, Uncle Hei?” With a WHOOSH, the Blackbird landed on the Tree Spirit and declared, ”Listen up! From now on, you all follow me, Uncle Hei. I planted this tree, you know. Call me boss, and I’ll give you each a fruit to eat.”

’Blackbird, you motherfucker!’ The Tree Spirit was infuriated just looking at this asshole. ’Since when was I planted by this bird?!’

”So ugly...” The Azure Owl shot the crow a sideways glance, her eyes filled with disgust, looking at it as if it were a pile of dog shit. ”You damned crow, from now on, when I, this peacock, am present, you are forbidden to appear. I’m afraid your ugliness might be contagious.”

’With those pitch-black feathers, it’s a complete disgrace to all birdkind.’

The Blackbird nearly fell off the Tree Spirit. ’Ugliness can be contagious? I might not be a scholar, but you can’t fool me!’

It instantly roared in anger, ”Little Peacock, what I, Uncle Hei, have is called handsome! It’s masculine! Keep spouting nonsense and I, Uncle Hei, will rape you and make you my bandit queen!”

These two birds were polar opposites. One was noble and beautiful, bearing the title of a bird of good fortune; the other was infamous, with the moniker of a bird of ill omen. Naturally, it was impossible for them to ever get along.

”Hmph... Ermao, go beat it up for me.”
