Chapter 23 The Benefits of Hormones

  When I bit its neck, it was still flapping its wings and scratching hard with its claws. Even though my skin is thick, it scratched out a few blood marks on me.

  And its blood flowed into my mouth, slowly flowing into my stomach. I don't know why, but when I sucked in its blood, I felt a strange excitement and thrill.

  Perhaps due to the hormone injection, this rooster's vitality was extremely strong. It struggled for a long time before gradually becoming motionless, and only then did I slowly release it.

  At this time, I didn't dare to eat the chicken because I was afraid that the hormones in its body would harm me, so after releasing it, I slowly crawled to one side.

  However, after a while, I felt a surge of energy and blood in my body, as if an explosive force was coming from within me. My heart skipped a beat, and this power came somewhat mysteriously.

  Suddenly I realized that it was when I bit the rooster to death earlier, its blood flowed into my mouth and was swallowed by me. The real hormones were hidden in the blood, so the hormones on its body had been absorbed by me more than half.

  "Oh no! I was careless for a moment just now, and I forgot about this one. I didn't think that I had already taken in the hormone!" As I thought of this, I felt a wave of fear, afraid that this thing would kill me.

  But now it's too late to think about it, because the hormone is really too strong. I stared at the rooster in front of me with red eyes, arched my body and rushed up, biting and tearing at it fiercely.

  The snake's nature completely erupted at this time, after biting the corpse of that rooster, I ruthlessly tore it apart and swallowed it piece by piece. However, this only made me consume more hormones, but I couldn't care less now. The current me just wanted to kill, as if I had lost control over my own thoughts.

  Before, after I swallowed food, I would lie down and slowly digest the food. But today was different, after swallowing a whole rooster, I became violent and restless, spitting out feathers in my cage and running back and forth, wanting to find a fierce beast to fight with.

  "Hiss!" I spat out the letter, raised my head and looked at Zhang Deke above me, meaning to let him get a prey down for me, so that I could kill enough.

  But this guy saw my expression and actually smiled with satisfaction: "Hehe, not bad! It seems that the hormone has awakened its blood nature, and it's not too crazy. Tomorrow when we enter the arena, I think Liu will definitely like it, haha!"

  That guy muttered to himself and then backed off, while I cursed him as a son of a bitch in my heart.

  Night came quietly, and when the moonlight shone on me, I suddenly felt a coolness, and my irritable breath also improved a bit.

  At this time, I reacted and my whole body was shocked. This hormone is really powerful, almost making me lose my zombie nature. At this moment, the moonlight shone on me, allowing my clear mind to think.

  I immediately suppressed the powerful force in my body, slowly performing the breathing and exhalation method that the old man taught me, gradually suppressing that violent breath.

  Until the moon pierced through the clouds and the east turned a pale white, I stopped my breathing exercises, and that mysterious and wonderful energy was also dispersed by me.

  At this time I have regained my usual calmness, but when I just twisted my body, I suddenly felt a thing that made me smile bitterly, and I was going to molt again.

  I rubbed my body against the brick wall of the cage with force, and after shedding my skin many times, I also gained experience, so now shedding my skin is nothing to me, it's done in an hour.

  I looked back at my own body, which had become even more beautiful and solid. Every time I molted, it brought great improvements to my body, so now I not only don't reject molting, but instead look forward to it even more.

  I think this time the shedding is probably due to the absorption of that hormone, and when I used the breathing method to drive out and refine them, not only did they no longer harm my body, but I also utilized them to further evolve my body. Moreover, a large part of that mysterious power was converted into my own power.

  Now that my combat power has been upgraded again, it seems that this breathing technique is really beneficial to me. When I have the chance, I must go and thank that old man.

  "Hiss!" I spat out the phlegm, took two deep breaths, and felt my body's condition. Suddenly, I felt a surge of energy, like a great river rushing thousands of miles, and the previously stagnant parts of my lungs and abdomen became smooth. As I breathed, the blue veins under my scales bulged, and a "gurgling" sound came from my abdomen.

  This is not due to the reversal of qi and blood, but rather because my abdominal organs are rapidly digesting food and transmitting sounds. As I said before, I am different from ordinary snakes, my body is growing rapidly, especially recently I often fight with fierce beasts, every day I need a large amount of food to replenish my physical strength, so my appetite is astonishingly large, last night I swallowed a rooster, after a night of digestion, now I feel a bit hungry again.

  But now I don't care about anything else, because my spirit is full, and then I simply played the snake fist. If someone was watching from the side, they would find that this snake seemed to be dancing inside, jumping and jumping, sometimes with a sweep of its tail, the cement floor would make a "bang!" sound.

  I'm quite satisfied with this effect, it seems that the power has increased a lot. Just at this moment, a burst of laughter came over, and then three people emerged from the top of the wall, namely Zhang Dekai and Liu Zhengzhong, as well as an old man in his sixties who I didn't know.

  However, Liu Zhengzhong smiled and said to the old man beside him: "Old Hou, can you help me take a look at this snake?"

  After listening to Liu Zhengzhong's words, not only I, but also Zhang Dekai next to me was stunned and looked at the old man next to him. Obviously, he didn't know why Liu Zhengzhong would invite this old man to see this snake. Did he understand more about it than himself?

  Seeing Zhang De Kai's inquiring gaze, Liu Zheng Zhong explained: "This Mr. Hou used to be a veterinarian and specialized in the study of ferocious beasts. He has already retired and wouldn't have come if I hadn't repeatedly invited him!"

  Upon hearing Liu Zhengzhong's introduction, Zhang Dekai finally reacted and respectfully said: "So Mr. Hou, you are a hidden talent! Take a look at this snake!"

  Old Hou nodded slightly, then looked at me and furrowed his brow, saying: "This snake looks very ordinary, isn't it just a larger silver ring snake...huh?"

  He was about to say something sarcastic, but suddenly found something wrong, staring at me for a long time before saying: "No, this snake, hmm, can you get it up here? My eyesight isn't good now, I want to take a closer look!"

  After listening to Old Hou's words, Zhang Dekai smiled bitterly and said: "Old Hou, this snake has evolved into a fierce snake. In the absence of anesthesia, we dare not bring it up, but if we administer anesthesia now, I'm afraid it will affect tomorrow's competition."

  Hou Lao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's right. If we're going to administer anesthesia tomorrow, it would be better not to do it today as well, or there might be some impact. Never mind, I'll just observe for now."

  After they finished speaking, the two of them no longer disturbed him. After a while, Old Hou said: "If I'm not mistaken, this snake has evolved into a fierce snake for a long time, and it has already produced dragon crystal in its body."

  "Dragon Crystal? Old Hou, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Liu Zhengzhong and Zhang Dekai asked in surprise. It wasn't that they didn't believe Old Hou's eyesight, but rather the impact of Dragon Crystal was too great for them.

  Old Hou nodded and said: "It should be no mistake, you see those two horns on its head!"

  "Huh? Those two stone-like things on its head, how did they change? I saw them before and they didn't look like this. Today when I looked again, it seems like they've gotten bigger!" Liu Zhengzhong heard Old Hou's words and only then took a closer look at the top of my head.

  Hou Lao explained: "The thing on its head can be said to be a dragon horn, but strictly speaking, it's not. Even if it wants to transform into a dragon, it's not something it can do now, and there's no guarantee of success either. So that thing can be called a 'horn'."

  "What's that thing?" It was obvious that neither of them had ever heard of such a thing, and to be honest, I hadn't either. So I listened intently as well.

  Hou Lao nodded slightly and explained, "The tentacles can be said to be pseudo-dragon horns, but they are also like the whiskers of other animals, which have a very strong sensing ability towards the outside world, especially when it comes to danger. Once there is danger, its tentacles will often sense it first."

  The two of them nodded vaguely, and Liu Zhengzhong asked, "Old Hou, how did this snake grow a tentacle? I've also come into contact with many species of snakes before, but I've never seen anything like this?"

  Hou Lao also said: "Actually, I haven't seen this kind of thing before either. I've only seen it in ancient books, so I'm not very sure. But it has dragon crystal inside its body, and I'm about 80% certain. Why don't we dissect it to take a look?"

  "Let go, Old Hou! This snake is going to be sent to the arena tomorrow. If you dissect it for me, what will I use to fight against Jiang Tianhua? For me, the dragon crystal is far less valuable than this fight!"

  Hou Lao shook his head, unable to comprehend these rich young masters who treated some beast fights as a part of their lives. They didn't know the value of Longjing, and it was truly being wasted on them.

  Hou Lao didn't say anything else, and could only look me up and down a few more times before reluctantly leaving. Meanwhile, Liu Zhengzhong and Zhang Dekai were excitedly discussing tomorrow's match.

  My heart is not calm, listening to what Old Hou said, the horns on my head are likely to be a manifestation of dragon transformation, but I've heard stories about snakes transforming into dragons before, those were just fairy tales, now it's actually happening to me, how can I not be excited? Even if there's only a one in a thousand chance, I'll still go for it.
