Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 117 Going to Meet the Lord of the OceanListening to Jiang Feng’s explanation, Yamata no Orochi hesitated, wanting to say something but not knowing what.

He had indeed been attacked by a shark, but as for where the White Snake had gone or what he was doing, he was completely in the dark.

He wanted to refute the White Snake’s words, but he didn’t know where to start.

Could he say that the White Snake had disguised himself as a shark to attack him? Without evidence, wouldn’t it just end up being a false accusation?

Besides, he could tell the difference between the White Snake and a shark; the one that bit him was definitely a real shark.

Seeing that Yamata no Orochi was still lost in thought and not chiming in, Jiang Feng immediately continued.

“Lord Snake Mother, I think Brother One-Head actually looks quite good like this. He looks more like a snake now. His strange multi-headed appearance before didn’t look like a snake at all; it saved other behemoths from thinking our Snake Clan had been infiltrated by some Hybrid Behemoth.”

“You...” Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, Yamata no Orochi felt a massive surge of humiliation welling up in his heart, his eyes looking as if they would spit fire.

This is outrageous! This King is truly being driven to death by anger!

Yamata no Orochi immediately threw the thought of why the White Snake had saved him to the back of his mind. There was no way the White Snake would save him; that shark was most likely brought here by the White Snake.

Although he didn’t know how the White Snake had managed it, he was now one hundred percent certain, and he had to make himself one hundred percent certain.

That damnable White Snake actually called him a mutt.

He was the noble Yamata no Orochi. If it weren’t for his current weakness, how could he be mixed in with a group of low-level sea snakes, and this low-level White Snake?

What was even more hateful was that he only had One-Head left out of eight. Even if he recovered to his peak, he wouldn’t be called Yamata no Orochi anymore.

He could only be called One-Headed Orochi.

At this thought, Yamata no Orochi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolling back as he nearly fainted.

“Brother One-Head, are you alright?” Jiang Feng cried out in alarm.

Seeing this, the Snake Mother spat out several blue bubbles from her mouth, which drifted toward the severed necks of Yamata no Orochi.

Once the blue bubbles covered the wounds, Yamata no Orochi’s bleeding stopped visibly to the naked eye.

Yamata no Orochi’s complexion also gradually began to improve.

Behemoths really are resilient; he didn’t even die from that.

Jiang Feng secretly felt it was a pity; he had been just a moment away from killing this snake monster.

But with the Snake Mother returning to check the situation, he had no choice but to withdraw his domain and give up on the kill.

This was also his first time using the Evil Snake Domain against a behemoth; he hadn’t used it before.

For one, he could tell from the fear points harvested that behemoths had high Mental Energy. If he used the Evil Snake Domain recklessly, he might suffer a backlash.

He used it on the One-Head snake monster this time because he saw that it wasn’t strong, and he wanted to kill it without leaving any traces.

In reality, Jiang Feng’s current Evil Snake Domain didn’t help his combat power much, nor could it help him challenge those at a higher level.

Behemoths stronger than him generally wouldn’t have lower Mental Energy than him either. Using the Evil Snake Domain would instead exhaust his Mental Energy and put him in a dangerous position.

As for behemoths weaker than him, unless there were special circumstances, he didn’t need the Evil Snake Domain to kill them.

Ultimately, the Evil Snake Domain was just a way for him to intimidate weaklings he couldn’t kill to collect fear points.

Unless Jiang Feng raised his spirit to several times his Physique, he might be able to rely on the Evil Snake Domain to kill monsters above his level.

But if he had those fear points to exchange for spirit, why not just exchange them for Physique and Strength to improve his direct power?

Therefore, the Evil Snake Domain was basically of little use to him now, serving only as a support.

After all, it was a skill exchanged for only a thousand fear points, and its effectiveness relied entirely on Mental Energy.

Unless he went to the human world to use the Evil Snake Domain to scare people—but now that he was an enemy of humanity, did he even need the Evil Snake Domain to scare them?

Seeing that Yamata no Orochi could move normally, the Snake Mother stopped paying attention to him and only gave Jiang Feng a deep look.

Just now, she had returned to check because she could no longer sense the presence of the two snakes behind her.

But before she arrived, the two snakes suddenly reappeared, and Yamata no Orochi was already severely injured.

In that instant, she suspected that Jiang Feng had injured Yamata no Orochi.

However, Yamata no Orochi didn’t refute Jiang Feng’s explanation, which left her uncertain for a moment.

Still, she had no intention of seeking justice for Yamata no Orochi; as long as he wasn’t dead, it was fine.

Besides, Jiang Feng was right about one thing: Yamata no Orochi did look much more pleasing to the eye with only One-Head left.

Thus, the Snake Mother didn’t intend to question them further. She said indifferently, “The two of you, just stay by my side!”

“Yes, Lord Snake Mother,” Yamata no Orochi readily agreed. He didn’t dare to be alone with the White Snake anymore.

Jiang Feng was helpless. Under the Snake Mother’s watchful eye, he didn’t dare to act out. It seemed he could only let this snake monster live for a few more days.

The group of snakes swam toward the depths of the ocean. Jiang Feng felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

He knew nothing about the Lord of the Ocean.

As they drew closer to the ocean floor, the groups of behemoths Jiang Feng and the others encountered grew more numerous.

Everyone was rushing toward the same place, and most behemoths were in groups.

They were all organized by clan: the orca family, the seal family, the sea lion family, the fur seal family, the sea cat family, the walrus family, the seahorse family, the dolphin family...

Besides the mammalian behemoth families, there were even more fish behemoth families: the ribbonfish family, the tuna family, the eel family, the shark family...

It was an incredible variety.

Jiang Feng also saw many arthropod and crustacean behemoths.

Of course, there was no lack of solitary travelers.

But the solitary behemoths were all massive, and other behemoths kept their distance.

From afar, Jiang Feng saw a behemoth over a thousand meters long, and the Snake Mother deliberately led them away to avoid it.

All the behemoths that met had a tacit understanding not to attack; even the thousand-meter loner didn’t strike out at the others.

Everyone passed by in a hurry, neither fighting nor speaking.

It was clear that they had all been enemies before, and now they were only restraining themselves from fighting under the pressure of the Lord of the Ocean.

Upon reaching a depth of five thousand meters, Jiang Feng already felt a massive sense of oppression.

However, it wasn’t the pressure of the seawater, but a pressure emanating from the depths of the ocean floor.

Jiang Feng didn’t feel much pressure from the seawater here; it was as if he were at the surface.

Jiang Feng marveled inwardly.

“My subjects, I welcome your arrival.” Just then, a grand voice echoed from the depths of the ocean floor.
