Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 144 Thunder BirdThe ridgeline of the Rocky Mountains rose and fell like frozen giant waves in the morning light; a hundred-meter-long giant bird standing atop the mountain peak suddenly spread its wings.

Its wings stretched out to a full five hundred meters wide, and the shadow cast by its wingspan instantly swallowed three mountain peaks.

Its feathers were pitch black, with only the tips of the primary feathers dancing with electric arcs.

A pair of deep blue eyes crackled with small bolts of lightning between the eyelids with every blink.

It was the overlord of this mountain range, the Thunderbird.

Originally, it was an invincible existence in this sky, with nothing capable of threatening it.

But now, it sensed a fatal crisis approaching.

That crisis came from beneath the mountain range, rapidly rushing toward its mountain peak.

Its eyes had already spotted a massive figure dozens of kilometers away—a strip-shaped figure that was snowy white all over.

If the thing approaching it were shrunk a hundred times, it would be a ”little spicy strip” on its menu.

A hint of shock flashed in the Thunderbird’s eyes.

How could there be such a large spicy strip in this world?

Moreover, this spicy strip was clearly trying to defy the natural order and treat it as food.

Thinking of this, the Thunderbird was both shocked and furious.

No matter how large a spicy strip grew, it was still part of their diet; yet today, a spicy strip dared to revolt against a Thunderbird.

If the spicy strip succeeded, it would lose the face of the Thunderbird clan for tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, even though it sensed that the snake Jiang Feng would be difficult to deal with, the Thunderbird did not immediately flee in fear.

It circled high above the mountain peak, continuously letting out sharp cries.

It was unclear whether it was emboldening itself or trying to scare off the giant spicy strip.

Unfortunately, Jiang Feng’s pace did not pause for a moment as his several-thousand-meter-long body crushed everything in its path.

Wherever he passed, mountain rocks cracked and accumulated snow was crushed and sublimated into mist.

Jiang Feng had long since noticed that bird in the sky.

However, he was no ordinary little snake who would be afraid of an eagle’s grasp.

Besides, this bird didn’t look like an eagle; it looked more like a flying black chicken.

At the thought of chicken, Jiang Feng couldn’t help but salivate.

He hadn’t eaten chicken for a long time; although there were chickens in the city,

those chickens were too small for Jiang Feng’s size, not even enough to get stuck between his teeth.

This chicken right here was just enough for him to swallow in one gulp.

”Little Black Chicken, come down quickly and enter your Grandpa Snake’s stomach,” Jiang Feng said to the Little Black Chicken in the sky.

Jiang Feng’s body hadn’t completely climbed up yet, and he couldn’t reach the Little Black Chicken flying a thousand meters high, but he was already somewhat impatient.

The Thunderbird’s cries stopped abruptly, and the electric arcs around its body suddenly intensified.

It was about to explode with rage; this giant spicy strip not only lacked any fear of it but also humiliated it so.

No one had ever dared to call it a black chicken.

This was truly bullying a bird too much.

”Giant snake, you’re looking for death,” the Thunderbird roared.

It could also speak; its voice was deep, clearly an adult male bird.

”Oh, Little Black Chicken has quite a temper. Calm down; an angry chicken doesn’t taste good.”

Jiang Feng’s snake head had already risen to the same height as the Thunderbird.

Startled, the Thunderbird quickly darted upward, having no time to retort.

[fear points +20,000]

Hehe.

Jiang Feng felt amused; the Little Black Chicken was still quite afraid of him.

”Giant snake, you forced my hand.” The Thunderbird flew to a height it considered safe and then began to release its ultimate move at Jiang Feng—Lightning Technique.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning ten meters thick fell from the sky, striking Jiang Feng’s snake body directly.

Electric arcs spread across the entire snake body like ripples on Jiang Feng’s scales.

Jiang Feng’s body trembled uncontrollably.

”Ah!” Jiang Feng couldn’t help but let out a groan of extreme comfort.

Initially, he wanted to dodge, but then he thought that a tiny bolt of lightning couldn’t possibly be more powerful than a nuclear bomb.

So he simply endured it head-on.

Having experienced the electric shocks of an Electric Eel before, Jiang Feng was prepared to be numbed by the electricity.

But he didn’t expect that this electric shock wouldn’t have any pain or numbness; instead, it felt very comfortable.

”Little Black Chicken, again,” Jiang Feng urged.

The Thunderbird’s face turned green; it had thought that even if this shock didn’t kill the giant spicy strip, it should at least cause it pain.

But now, the giant spicy strip looked as if nothing had happened at all and even urged it to continue.

This was truly bullying a bird too much, showing no respect for birds at all.

The Thunderbird was both angry and aggrieved; it felt as though it was being slammed into the ground and humiliated by the giant spicy strip, yet it couldn’t resist at all.

I don’t believe this.

The Thunderbird steeled its heart and summoned lightning again; this time, the lightning was several times thicker than the first.

Boom!

The lightning struck Jiang Feng’s snake body, making a sizzling sound.

Some of the current splashed onto nearby rocks, shattering them instantly.

If even a tiny bit of splash damage from the lightning had such power, one could imagine how powerful the direct force of that lightning was.

The Thunderbird watched the motionless giant spicy strip with some anticipation—one second, two seconds.

The giant spicy strip remained motionless, with some residual electric arcs still flickering on its body.

Was the giant spicy strip knocked unconscious?

The Thunderbird was somewhat uncertain.

It wanted to dive down and tear the giant spicy strip’s body apart with its sharp claws, but it feared the giant spicy strip was faking death.

In close combat, it wasn’t confident it could defeat such a large spicy strip; the difference in size was too great.

Jiang Feng waited for a long time, and seeing that the Little Black Chicken wasn’t discharging electricity anymore, he became a bit unhappy.

He hadn’t eaten the Little Black Chicken immediately, yet it was being so sluggish about helping him with some electrotherapy.

”Little Black Chicken, what are you dazing off for? Hurry up and continue! If your Grandpa Snake feels comfortable from the electricity, maybe your Grandpa Snake will be happy and decide not to eat you today.”

Ah! Ah! Ah!

[fear points +30,000]

The hesitating Thunderbird suddenly saw Jiang Feng humiliating it again, completely unharmed, and could no longer remain calm.

It was both furious and terrified.

Its previous thought of going down to tear the giant spicy strip apart seemed so ridiculous now.

Since even its most powerful lightning couldn’t harm the giant spicy strip in the slightest, how could its sharp claws possibly tear it apart?

The giant spicy strip didn’t take it seriously at all and had been playing with it all along.

Hateful, so hateful.

The Thunderbird’s angry eyes spat out several-meter-long electric arcs; it had to kill this giant spicy strip to avenge today’s humiliation.

As a lone bird, it couldn’t beat the giant spicy strip now; it needed help.

It knew there were other giant beasts in the mountain range and planned to seek their help to deal with the giant spicy strip together.

The Thunderbird glared at Jiang Feng viciously, then spread its wings, intending to leave.

However, as it flew, it suddenly realized the mountain range below had disappeared.

What’s going on? Where is the mountain?

The Thunderbird was startled; its speed wasn’t so fast that it could fly out of the mountain range in the blink of an eye.

Not only was the mountain gone, but that hateful giant spicy strip was also gone.

The Thunderbird hurriedly lowered its altitude; this situation made it feel panicked, as it couldn’t even tell its direction anymore.

The Thunderbird looked around, trying to figure out exactly what had happened.

”Little Black Chicken, are you looking for me?” At that moment, a ghostly voice suddenly rang out from above the Thunderbird.
