Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 166 Ten Thousand Meters LongEast Sea Dragon Palace.

At this moment, the Dragon Palace was nothing more than a skeleton, as all the miscellaneous palaces inside had been destroyed.

Because Jiang Feng had entered, his size was so immense that the Dragon Palace could barely contain him.

The four great Dragon Kings had already transformed into four snakes and were respectfully accompanying Jiang Feng as he toured the Dragon Palace.

”Leader, up ahead is the Holy Pool of our Dragon Palace.” The East Snake, Ao Guang, pointed forward comically with his snake head.

”Smack!”

Jiang Feng used seawater to slap Ao Guang’s snake head. ”How many times have I told you? Call me Captain.”

”Yes, yes, Captain.” Ao Guang and the other three snakes nodded hurriedly.

The Holy Pool was a pond covering an area of ten mu. In reality, it shouldn’t be called a Holy Pool but rather a Dragon Transformation Pool.

It was a castrated version of a Dragon Transformation Pool; entering it wouldn’t allow one to transform into a dragon, but it could allow one to transform into a human.

For example, Crab-men or Shrimp-men.

At this moment, many Shrimp-men and Crab-men were guarding the Human Transformation Pool, while some soldiers were continuously transporting crabs, fish, and shrimp to throw into the pool.

After forty-nine hours, those that were still alive would successfully transform into humans—humans with shells.

”From now on, these will serve as the foot soldiers of our Sea Snake Team.” Jiang Feng was very satisfied.

He had been used to being a lone snake before because he was the only one, carefree and independent.

But now that he had promised to come back with Su Ling, he couldn’t remain a lone snake anymore; he needed some underlings.

Therefore, after capturing the four dragons, Jiang Feng thought about it and turned them into snakes to serve as his underlings.

After the initial panic and fear, the four dragons quickly recognized reality and had long since thrown the honor of being dragons to the back of their minds.

They took pride in being snakes.

As for their dragon descendants, because they were dissatisfied with the four dragons turning into snakes, they were demoted to the lowest class of slaves.

In the Sea Snake Team, dragons held the lowest status, serving only as cannon fodder slaves.

Jiang Feng didn’t hate dragons; in his eyes, dragons were the same as any other animal, no more noble than the rest.

The so-called Four Sea Dragon Kings were never good things in the myths of his past life, nor were they native species of the Dragon Kingdom.

Rather, they were products of Western Buddhism, like the Devas and Nagas.

Of course, Jiang Feng did not reject Buddhism either.

Whether it was a Western dragon or an Eastern dragon, they were just mounts; how noble could they really be?

Fuxi and Nüwa would not have used the dragon as a totem, nor would they have worshipped it.

Emperors rode dragons to ascend to heaven, while the gods of the Heavenly Court ate dragon liver.

They were both mounts and food ingredients.

”The Mandate of Heaven sent down the dark bird, which gave birth to the Shang.” The people of Shang considered themselves descendants of birds. The Zhou people likewise worshipped the phoenix.

Lord Ye professed a love for dragons, but in reality, he was terrified of them; the dragon was not some auspicious mascot.

Han Fei referred to the dragon as a ”great insect” that could be raised for food.

The concept of the ”True Dragon Son of Heaven” began with Liu Bang, but the emperor was not the son of a dragon; he was the Son of Heaven.

Qin Shi Huang called himself the Son of Heaven; if he knew that later generations compared him to the Ancestral Dragon, who knows if he would be angry.

Dragons were enslaved from beginning to end. The common people thought dragons were good only because of their worship of the emperor, as the dragon was the emperor’s mount.

Becoming a dragon meant one could get closer to the emperor; hence, the saying ”hoping one’s child will become a dragon.”

The ranking of the twelve zodiac signs did not treat the dragon as a special existence either.

It wasn’t until the Ming and Qing dynasties that the dragon was officially used to represent the emperor, and ordinary people dared not show the slightest disrespect toward it.

The backwardness of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also led to the Western portrayal of the dragon as evil; the dragon had been tarnished.

The term ”Descendants of the Dragon” only became popular in modern times; China had never claimed to be descendants of the dragon since ancient times.

Having turned into a snake, Jiang Feng certainly wouldn’t worship dragons, nor would he feel that the dragon’s bloodline was any nobler than the snake’s.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he be thinking about transforming into a dragon every day, only to transform back into a human?

Jiang Feng waited in the Dragon Palace for news from Su Ling; this was what Su Ling had agreed upon with him, and he had agreed because he didn’t want to make things difficult for her.

However, Jiang Feng would only wait for Su Ling for one day. If she didn’t come to find him after one day, he would go to the Dragon Kingdom to find her.

By now, nearly a day had passed, and in a few more hours, it would be the time he and Su Ling had agreed upon.

Jiang Feng checked his own fear points. After accumulating them for this period, his fear points had reached 1.6 billion.

Jiang Feng spent 400 million fear points to raise his Agility and Strength to 10 million points each.

Then, he spent another 200 million to raise his spirit to 20 million points, and put all the remaining points into Physique.

1 billion fear points were exchanged for 50 million points of Physique, bringing Jiang Feng’s Physique to 80 million.

The molting began.

Consequently, an earthquake began on the seabed, and the entire Dragon Palace, except for the Dragon Transformation Pool, was razed to the ground.

The four snakes and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were so frightened that they hurriedly fled.

The commotion on the seabed caused coastal cities like Sea City to clearly feel the tremors.

However, Sea City was currently in the midst of the joyful ”Feel the Dragon” activities, so no one paid it any mind.

After Jiang Feng finished molting, a brand-new snake body was revealed.

[ Jiang Feng

Species: Giant Star, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth Spirit Body White Snake (a monstrous beast that has reached Continent Level)

Lifespan: 300,000 years

Strength: 10 million

Physique: 80 million

Agility: 10 million

spirit: 20 million

Toxicity: None

Thermal Sensing: 5 kilometers

Body Length: 10 kilometers

Special Physique: Star Body, Primary Fire Spirit Body, Intermediate Water Spirit Body, Primary Wind Spirit Body, Primary Earth Spirit Body

fear points: 50 million

Abilities Owned: (Camouflage) (Evil Snake Domain) (Meteor Fall) (Star Escape Technique) (Star Shield) ]

His body length had reached 10 kilometers, directly doubling.

The reason was that all his attributes had increased significantly.

His body diameter exceeded 200 meters, and his weight was immeasurable, likely around 300 million tons.

With a weight of 300 million tons, and then controlling ten thousand times that amount of water, that would be 3 trillion tons of water.

It could submerge the entire Dragon Kingdom to a depth of one meter.

Of course, in reality, this definitely couldn’t be done, because the terrain height difference of the Dragon Kingdom was far more than a thousand meters.

Even if it were submerged to a depth of one thousand meters, it wouldn’t be able to submerge half of the Dragon Kingdom, so three trillion tons of water was roughly the volume of ten Yangtze Rivers.

He was getting closer and closer to controlling the entire ocean, and Jiang Feng felt expectant.

He had 50 million fear points left, while his Thermal Sensing range was only 5 kilometers, not even as long as his body length.

Jiang Feng waved his hand, and all 50 million fear points were exchanged for Thermal Sensing range.

[ Thermal Sensing: 505 kilometers ]

In an instant, Jiang Feng felt that he was a radar capable of scanning a radius of 500 kilometers, much like the USA’s THAAD system.

”I am terrifyingly strong now. Dragon Kingdom, are you trembling?”

Jiang Feng rushed out of the sea, and the four snakes immediately gathered around to congratulate him. ”Congratulations, Captain, on mastering your divine arts; unifying the seas is just around the corner.”

”Haha, East, South, West, and North snakes, hear my command: follow me to the Dragon Kingdom to see an old friend.”
