Chapter 8, Brown Rock Snake

Monster Name: Brown Rock Snake

In an instant, a gray light suddenly darted out from the bushes. "Hiss!" The target was aimed directly at Gao Peng

The two antennae on the forehead of the large purple creature that had been hovering beside Gao Peng suddenly stood upright, resembling two antennas raised high, with a vigilant gleam flashing in its eyes

The soil beneath the blood lily was dug open, revealing small, snow-white rhizomes, resembling tiny carrots growing along the roots. It is completely unimaginable that such a large expanse of rhizomes exists beneath such a small plant.

Moreover, the purple-backed yellow-clawed centipede is of a significantly higher caliber than the brown rock snake among monsters of this quality. Gao Peng observed that the large purple centipede had firmly bitten down on a precise spot just behind the head of the brown rock snake, with its pair of fangs deeply embedded in the flesh of the brown rock snake. This position was exceptionally clever, allowing the brown rock snake to barely turn its head a little, yet it could only manage to bite at the shell of the large purple centipede.

Severe injuries flicker violently, at this moment these four characters have turned black and red, the red in the font seems like blood that has been drained, the red disappears, and finally slowly transforms into the pitch-black four large characters—fatal injuries

Intelligence is innate, while wisdom is accumulated through experience

[Monster Status]: Healthy (Panicked)

The large purple creature leaned its upper body vertically against Gao Peng, gazing longingly at the corpse of the brown rock snake, nearly drooling.

Gao Peng tentatively poked the brown rock snake with a long stick he had picked up

As he looked at the python, a data frame automatically emerged in Gao Peng's mind

In an instant, or perhaps finally locking onto the opponent, the two shadows fell to the ground with a thud, with all of the thousand legs of the great purple tightly entwined around the body of a gray-brown python

Taking two steps back with Da Zi, he carefully surveyed the surroundings to ensure there were no threats behind him, then picked up a stone from the ground and weighed it in his palm

Snake saliva grass... Generally speaking, snake saliva grass tends to thrive in the vicinity of the brown rock snake's activity area. However, asking him to search for snake saliva grass in a hurry is quite a challenge. At this moment, Da Zi is in a standoff with the brown rock snake. If he encounters any other monsters while searching for the snake saliva grass, he would be in grave danger.

One purple and one gray shadow collided in mid-air. With Gao Peng's naked eye, it was impossible to discern the specific forms of the two; he could only vaguely see the purple and gray lights entangled together, appearing as a blur.

The brownish-gray python is approximately 3 meters long, while the large purple one is only 2 meters long, resulting in a section of tail protruding from beneath the large purple's tail, occasionally flicking about

Gao Peng cautiously stepped back, and at the same time, the large purple creature suddenly leaped towards the gray light, its speed equally swift

It is said that the nervous system of snakes is somewhat unique; even after death, their conditioned reflexes can still pose a lethal threat. As long as the sensory organ tissues in their heads have not decayed, they still retain the potential for deadly danger. Since many snake species are venomous, there are numerous cases of post-mortem retaliation.

The brown rock snake opened its mouth wide, straining to bite the purple carapace, its jaw seemingly dislocated as it opened nearly one hundred and eighty degrees, and then it bit down hard on the carapace.

Centipedes are inherently omnivorous creatures; some centipedes even consume moss, so there is naturally no issue with them eating the tubers of blood lily.

At last, the brown rock snake seemed to give up struggling, lying quietly on the ground, its pair of eyes revealing a look of indifference as it stared blankly ahead

This is also the fundamental reason why Gao Peng was able to transform from a disinterested student into an academic achiever

Suddenly throw towards the bushes

Gao Peng chuckled silently; he was merely investigating the plants and had no intention of taking them back. Since Da Zi wanted to eat, he decided to let it. Gao Peng directly fed a small piece of the stem in his hand to Da Zi, which eagerly opened and closed its two mandibles to consume it, with transparent juice flowing out from its mouthparts.

Da Zi was somewhat excited and eager to rush forward, but was stopped by Gao Peng, as he was unsure whether it was a ploy to lure the tiger away from its mountain lair or to entice the enemy deeper into the unknown behind the bushes.

Another reason is that the problem does not seem significant at present. Although the Great Purple is one level lower than this Brown Rock Snake, it is only a minor level difference and not a major tier difference, so the increase in strength is not substantial

This small grove has become a treasure in Gao Peng's heart

After ten minutes, the color of the fatal injury visibly lightened, turning into a pale grayish-white—indicating death

The bushes suddenly trembled violently, as if something had been startled.

A rustling sound came from the bushes behind Gao Peng, startling him. The dark green bushes shook continuously, and Gao Peng deduced from the frequency of the trembling and the size of the bushes that it was likely not a large creature.

Then Gao Peng seemed to have entered a dreamlike paradise, frantically searching for various plants in the small grove by the Mirror Lake. The plants that only existed in books appeared before him in reality, such as the mutated golden osmanthus tree and the blue-winged octagonal gold plate

Because he has dreams, because he has ambitions, that is to resurrect his parents

Well... before the catastrophe, it could barely be called a python, but in this new era, it can only be considered an ordinary little snake

If one chooses mediocrity, then one is not even qualified to pursue ambition

Gao Peng's passion for learning stems from his hope of finding a way to resurrect his parents through knowledge

The large purple creature curiously circled around Gao Peng, its two antennae swaying in all directions, intently gazing at the blood lily root tuber in Gao Peng's hand. It then leaned its body against Gao Peng's arm, looking up at him with a pitiful expression.

Although the book introduced the blood wheat, this is the first time I have encountered it in reality

It seems that the presence of the great purple has been sensed, and the creature hidden in the bushes does not dare to emerge. After a moment of hesitation, the trembling of the bushes ceases, and the creature concealed within appears to be retreating.

Do not underestimate the intelligence of monsters; while most of them may not have a high IQ, intelligence is not synonymous with IQ

Although the brown rock snake is a non-venomous snake, its two sharp fangs can sink into the flesh of its enemy like hooks with just one bite

The brown rock snake, lying motionless on the ground, suddenly flipped over and fiercely bit at the wooden stick. No matter how Gao Peng swung the stick, he could not shake off the brown rock snake, but its grayish-white eyes lacked any spark of life, merely maintaining that posture.

Monster Level: Level 6

It seems to be stuck... The brown rock snake appeared quite human-like, momentarily bewildered, with its eyes wide open and mouth agape.

After waiting for an hour, Gao Peng used the wooden stick to roll the corpse of the brown rock snake onto the stick, and then took out a nylon bag from his pocket to put the corpse of the brown rock snake inside. Almost all monster corpses have certain value, and as long as these monster corpses are brought back, they can be sold at a good price in specialized shops.

[Monster Weaknesses]: 1. Wood type 2. Snakeweed has a significant repelling effect on the Brownrock Serpent; if the quantity of snakeweed is sufficient, it will cause the Brownrock Serpent to move slowly and become stiff.

Monster Quality: Ordinary

Suo suo

At this moment, the posture of the Brown Rock Snake was quite dire, as its entire serpentine body was firmly pinned down by the Great Purple Centipede, as if countless nails were embedded within it. No matter how it twisted and turned, it could not break free. The Great Purple opened its jaws and feet, and then it seemed as if two sharp spikes suddenly pierced into the body of the Brown Rock Snake, with a large amount of venom being injected into its body through the jaws and feet.

In Gao Peng's eyes, the status bar of the Brown Rock Serpent was continuously flashing red, indicating a decline from healthy to minor injury, light injury, moderate injury, and severe injury. As the injuries worsened, the Brown Rock Serpent initially struggled desperately, rolling on the ground and striking against the surrounding trees, causing chunks of bark to shatter and emit muffled thuds.
