Reborn To Become A Heavenly Serpent - Chapter 3

When I fell asleep. I gave birth to a very bizarre dream as I was slithering an enormous serpent body in space.

The size of my body was so vast that I could approximate it with the surrounding planets a bit distance absent from me.

It was as if I was steering an enormous war stronghold.

But that was not all of it as I was plunged into a huge clash with billion of enemies. I battled them with my vast body shuttling through their ant-like battleship.

And as I stormed through their defenses line with ease. It felt so substantial that the emotion of absurdity consumed my consciousness.

Later one hour of sleeping, I gradually retrieved my vision as I slowly loosened my sleepy eyes with sloth.

Sensing a little bit stuffy around my body. I slowly spanned them up to bring about myself more comfortable as I yawned with my mouth broad open.

I hastily examined my new physique with enthusiasm as I’m rather anxious about how much improvement can my first evolution provide.

And then I noticed…

Before I was only 10 cm in length but now I have grown over 50 cm.

My skin is now a bit firmer as my color deepens a bit darker but it still retains the greenish element.

Wanting to inspect my panel next I quickly instructed the system.

“System brings out my panel”

“Ding”

Seeing that even my skills reaped some advancement. I was utterly amazed and delighted!.

“Hey, the system I never speculated even skills can be upgraded with my evolution… care to explain?”

“Ding…replying to the host. This is of course logical. Host skills will be upgraded alongside the host body.”

“Wow, this is great!… with this I’m can ȧssure a continuous increase of strength. I don’t need to worry about how to improve my skills soon. As this function provided me such benefit.

“Now I need to gain even more points for my next evolution and the remaining skills that had yet to be bought”

I unhurriedly mumbled to myself while wriggling my tail behind my back. Slamming it against the dirt.

“Talking about evolution… I will have to change my nest. The rate of my size improvement is far too fast to cope with my needs for shelter. Finding a new home is a must after this”

After preparing my next plan. I slowly unclogged the entrance and quickly snaked my way outside for the very first time in my new life.

I bȧrėly stayed for one day in this tree and now I’m leaving it already. Time sure does pass faster than I thought.

As I finally passed through the small entrance. I was immediately bathed under the warm sunlight, as my skin shined with brilliance under the gaze of the morning star.

I slowly flickered my gaze around… appreciating this new landscape that I’m currently in as my body slithered forward in an unhurried manner.

Huge roots spread-eagled the ground, twisting like the great backs of sea dinosaurs. The foliage became thick and lush, forming an arch of fairytale-green above my head. Arthritic boughs, gnarled with age, dripped their bounty of nuts onto the path.

Briars, brambles, and berry trees flanked the trail, making it impenetrable on either side. Shuffling noises came from deep in the interior, deadened by the cunningly woven web of leaves.

Hours departed as I had been moving about in this great forest. And yet I didn’t find a single animal while I was paving my way here. Are animals rare in this world?.

“Why is there had not been single creature yet? it had been hours already… and it’s not like I was staying in one place. But still, there’s no sign of life except these trees”

I asked in disbelief and doubt while my eyes wandered about into the surrounding thick bushes.

I slithered forward under a slightly scarce bush. and continued complaining.

But suddenly,

*Rustles* *Rustles*

I heard a little noise inside a bush that is 7 meters away from my location. Not too far and yet too close… an appropriate range that I’m currently in.

I quickly lowered my head low as I eyed at the source of the sound intently. Wanting to see what would happen next if I stayed here patiently.

“Rustles* *rustles* *squeak!*

The commotions kept getting louder and louder added with a small squeaking sound of a certain type of animal.

This unknown creature made itself visible with noises as it moved forward in this direction… seemingly the next moment it would exit the bush.

My muscle tightened as my eyes narrowed slightly focusing on the bush ahead.

‘My first fleshy animals! my first pray that is not a bug! I need to do this perfectly!’

I thought to myself as my head eyed its piercing gaze forward.

Suddenly a juicy mouse jumped out from the thick bush as it landed perfectly within my attacking ranger.

My body instantly sprinted forward at a tremendous speed with my mouth wide open ready to gnaw on this mice. Death sure is beautiful when it comes to benefit.

The mice didn’t even have the time to react as he bȧrėly just came out from the thickets.

My mouth immediately gobbled it down as I wrapped my body tightly around him.

Shutting him with my brute force while my muscle tightened attempting to suffocate him.

*Squeaked!!!* *Squeaked*!!

The mouse shrieked in pain as its body won’t stop flinching around.

Not even a minute passed. The mouse finally stopped trembling due to my poisonous skin.

“Ding! gained 100 points”

A brush of joy appeared inside my heart as I glanced at this newly emerged notification.

“Oh wow, 100 points! this fat mouse sure does give a lot of points… but what was he doing inside that bush though?”

Curious…I unhurriedly made my way into the thick bush. As for that mouse? I don’t want to eat it… wasting time isn’t necessary.

Inside there I found a small hole in the ground. Seemingly to lead downwards.

I continued slithering into the hole as my fork tongue flickered about to detect if there is any creature in this hole. Detecting the surrounding heat as it sends back a signal towards my brain.

“Seems safe… and there’s a bunch of scents in the air similar with that mouse I killed just now. There might be even more of them down here!. hahaha lucky me!.”

After confirming that there might be even more prey downwards inside this cave. A flash of joy flickered my face as I slithered forward cheerfully.

the further I pushed inside the wider the hole came to be. This also delivers me with a bit more space to maneuver around easily.

Finally, deep down into the ground I entered a wide area, and in the middle of it, a group of closely huddled sleeping mice was slumbering soundly.

“It’s time to feast!”

Seeing this… I immediately muttered with joy!.

a big smile arose on my scaly face as I slithered forward.
