Reborn To Become A Heavenly Serpent - Chapter 22

“Up ahead there should be a massive river… and then we will have to bridge it to reach the Death Mountain.”

Announced the woman to her side.

“B-but senior that is the death worm emperor nest!… ”

“I know… don’t worry about the small details. I can deal with the death worm emperor on my own”

“This…? But its-”

“I said it’s fine!”

This time the woman tossed a serious glance towards Elder Li.

“Hiik!”

He shuddered in fear…

“Y-yes of course!”

*giggles* *giggles*

the group of students behind them snickered slowly… as this leads to his face being embarrassed.

“Ehem! what are you guys laughing at! trust me when we get back home I will punish you guys to stand in front of the ancestral hall for 2 years!”

He immediately hurls a death stare towards his student.

*gasp!*

“Hahaha Elder Li… we were just coughing hahaha!”

One of the students responded while clasping both of his palms together.

Seeing this Elder Li ġrȯȧnėd heavily as he shifted his gaze back to the front. Next, they proceeded to move onwards.

*Fuh*

“You idiot why did you laughed so loud!”

one of the students spoke towards his friend.

“I can’t help it… I’m sorry”

“Yeah, you are such an idiot!”

Suddenly one of the female students criticized him.

“I said I’m sorry!”

“Yeah sure…”

while this drama is happening… at the back of the group. A young man that appears to be out of place quietly shuts his eyes as if he’s marveling at something inside his mind.

“If I can find a corroded spiritual jewel on this trip… I can easily break through to the next level.

And then using my cheat-like ability… I should be able to clone it many times.”

Inside his mind… there appears to be a large ancient stove. It is black while around it are carefully carved inscriptions. In front of this stove stood a young man sitting cross-legged seemingly to be connected to it.

“When I was at the auction house last time… I managed to buy this spiritual pearl. It can increase my comprehension capacities by 1% for each pearl. ”

He slowly snatches out a blue looking pearl from his sleeves and holds it inside his palm.

“I only have one currently… but with this stove inside my mind… I can clone 10 of them every week!”

The boy whispered to himself as a small arc of smile spiraled on his face.

“With this, my strength can be improved by leaps and bounds!.”

“I am a heavenly blessed genius.. with this stove, I can easily crush those geniuses in the capital… ”

“But it will take time… staying low key is important for now. Especially since that Ren guy… I’m pretty sure he is gonna make a move on me during this expedition.”

Suddenly a cold and vicious expression emerged on his face.

“Since you wanted me to die so badly then don’t blame me for what comes next”

He coldly muttered these words.

*Cracks* *crashes* *cracks*

Currently, Hiro is traveling the forest with his large body. Crashing into many smaller trees and boulders… mashing them along the way.

“Man!! what a lovely day!… the glittering sunlight bathing my whole body. The gust of wind occasionally passing against me. What a peaceful day!”

Hiro cheerfully murmured inside.

“If I’m not wrong up ahead should be the area of another emperor… I think I had seen this emperor one time. It was a wriggling worm ugh… at that time I was just strolling around my area… cleaning up the weak king class monster and claiming my territory…”

“I just somehow stumbled onto that guy when he was about to eat… ugh he looks so ugly…”

During the one month time… Hiro had not been idle all around. To guarantee the tranquility of the whole area. He decided to ȧssert the area as his territory since he was already a demi emperor class at that time…

the Death Worm Emperor territory is directly next to his territory. It is so apparent to distinguish since Hiro’s area is filled with lush and greenish forest. While the opposite is a barren land filled with corpses and dead trees.

“But what with those groups of humans? what are they doing there?… ”

Hiro curiously asked while his eyes pierced through the void seemingly being able to detect their movement.

“Is there something in this area? I think I should check it out… if it’s something beneficial to them then why can’t it be beneficial to me too?… LOGIC!”

Having decided that… he slowly paved his way onwards while crushing many trees along the way.
