Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 80: Luring the Great White Serpent to the Dragon Kingdom’s Sea AreaAbove the cliff is a forest by the sea.

The forest is lush and the vegetation is dense.

Jiang Feng’s snake head stood above the treetops, and the forest scene was in full view before his eyes.

This is the advantage of a giant beast.

If a human came to the forest, without navigation, they would only get completely lost.

Jiang Feng once again began to despise the human ants.

”How could I have been such a human ant in my past life? In my next life, I must never be reincarnated as a human again.”

As Jiang Feng slithered, the giant trees in the forest swayed, and the birds and beasts were panicked.

[fear points + 40]

[fear points + 50]

...

The 70-meter-long ”spicy strip” rampaged through the forest, sticking out his snake head from time to time to look into the distance.

Jiang Feng’s current human-like vision was actually better than many humans.

He could see clearly within a kilometer; he saw a squirrel 800 meters away on a treetop, listening vigilantly to the disturbance coming from Jiang Feng’s direction.

He believed that before long, he would be like an eagle, clearly seeing things several kilometers away.

This visual enjoyment intoxicated him. As a web novel writer in his past life, he had long been blind beyond a hundred meters; how could he have ever experienced such a feeling?

”Sigh! My past life was truly too much of a failure.”

”Spiritually disabled, materially disabled, physically disabled. Thank heavens for letting me become a snake.”

The animals’ fear came quickly and went just as quickly.

Many small animals felt that the threat of this ”spicy strip,” Jiang Feng, was far less than that of their natural predators.

In fact, this was indeed the case; Jiang Feng had no interest in devouring insects, snakes, or rats.

For one, they were too small and couldn’t provide much Physique at all.

Secondly, he found them a bit disgusting.

If he was going to devour anything, he would devour wild beasts.

Jiang Feng seemed to have seen a wild beast ahead.

That was a black bear.

He had heard that Sakura Country had few other animals, but many bears.

It seemed that this was still Sakura Country.

Jiang Feng’s body was too large; sneaking up on the bear silently was obviously impossible unless he used the Star Escape Technique.

But there was no need; the bear couldn’t outrun him anyway.

In fact, a bear is also blind; otherwise, why are they called ”bear-blind”?

A bear’s eyesight was probably only about a hundred meters, about the same as the crippled Jiang Feng in his past life.

Although the bear heard a great commotion, as a local hegemon of Sakura Country, it had never feared any animal, except for the two-legged beasts.

”Roar!”

The bear let out a roar, warning the intruder that it had trespassed into its territory.

But what kind of snake was Jiang Feng? How could he be scared off by a little roar?

He ignored the warning and appeared grandly within the black bear’s line of sight.

[fear points + 80]

The black bear lost its nerve the first moment it saw Jiang Feng’s form.

”Hehe, little bear, how are you!”

Jiang Feng looked at the mini bear in front of him, although in human eyes, it was a giant bear 3 meters long and weighing over 500 catties.

But in Jiang Feng’s eyes, it was just a pocket-sized bear.

”Roar.”

The black bear roared lowly. In the animal kingdom, prey never surrendered voluntarily.

Therefore, the bear wanted to resist; it had no choice but to resist.

[fear points + 80]

Jiang Feng stared at the black bear for a full ten minutes, and the black bear felt fear twice.

Consequently, Jiang Feng lost his patience for staring and bit towards the black bear in one mouthful.

Seeing that the snake had finally moved, the black bear turned and fled.

The reason the bear didn’t flee immediately was due to animals’ survival strategies; running away represented fear.

Instead, it would trigger the enemy’s desire to hunt and chase. It hoped to make the snake afraid to attack through a direct confrontation.

Unfortunately, Jiang Feng was not a normal animal snake, but a snake with human thinking and intelligence.

[fear points + 100]

The moment the bear fled, its fear points reached their maximum.

According to Murphy’s Law, if one is afraid to the limit, then the thing will truly happen.

Therefore, Jiang Feng successfully bit the bear.

Jiang Feng’s snake head was now about the size of a bear; he only needed to open his snake mouth slightly to swallow the bear whole.

A few minutes later, the bear successfully entered Jiang Feng’s snake belly.

The Devouring Technique began to operate.

Half an hour later,

[Devoured bear meat, Physique + 40]

It added 40 points to his Physique, far more than the shark; Jiang Feng guessed it might be because he devoured a living creature.

Next, Jiang Feng continued to look for bears in the forest, and incidentally, scared some small animals.

Sakura Country Imperial Capital, Prime Minister’s Official Residence.

Takaichi Wanmiao and a group of Sakura Country high-level officials were discussing the matter of the Big White Snake.

Takaichi Wanmiao looked exhausted. ”Everyone, let’s continue. We’ve been arguing for three days without a conclusion; today, we must reach a decision.”

”That Big White Snake has been missing for three days; perhaps it has already left,” said Finance Minister Qianshang Ji’er.

Defense Minister Murakami Taro sneered.

”Defense Minister, how do you know it didn’t leave today? It originally came from elsewhere; perhaps it was just staying here briefly.”

”Hmph, sophistry.”

”Alright, Finance Minister, we are currently discussing how to deal with the Big White Snake, not waiting for it to leave. What if it doesn’t leave?”

”Prime Minister Takaichi, I am also thinking of our Sakura Country. If we can avoid conflict with the Big White Snake, it would save us a large sum of expenses.”

”If we can avoid conflict, that would be best. The conditions from the USA are very outrageous; if we agree to them, our financial burden will increase significantly,” said Foreign Minister Aso Daofei.

”If you ask me, there’s no need to trouble others; we should just solve it ourselves.”

”Solve it yourselves? Defense Minister, is the lesson of Major General Kobayashi Masasho not enough? Losing a destroyer and a submarine, and having eight hundred soldiers killed in action—how much of our Sakura Country’s assets do you have left to squander?”

”That’s because that idiot Major General Kobayashi Masasho was too incompetent and too careless; he should be sent to a military tribunal and executed.”

”Defense Minister, Major General Kobayashi Masasho retreated in time and saved the Fire Shadow and the transport ship; he still deserves credit for that.”

”Hmph, I think he was scared away. If it were me, I would have led everyone in one go; maybe I would have taken down the Big White Snake.”

”And what if you didn’t take it down? Wouldn’t the losses be even greater?”

”Prime Minister, and fellow ministers, how about we lure the Big White Snake away?” said Cabinet Chief Suzuki Keiko.

”Lure the Big White Snake away? Then wouldn’t our Sakura Country soldiers have sacrificed themselves in vain? Furthermore, if we don’t kill the Big White Snake, our Sakura Country will become a laughingstock.” Murakami Taro was the first to object.

”Defense Minister, shut up! Do you have any way to deal with the Big White Snake? If the Big White Snake runs to our city, can you bear the consequences?” Takaichi Wanmiao was also getting angry; this Murakami Taro had no ability, only knew how to talk big.

”Foreign Minister Suzuki, do you have any thoughts?” Qianshang Ji’er asked, as he strongly agreed with this proposal.

Suzuki Keiko smiled slightly. ”Everyone, we can dispatch ships to lure the Big White Snake to the Dragon Country’s waters.”
