Chapter 30 Independent Kingdom
Just one month had passed. Brandon's body had also began to grow rapidly during this period. His original two-metre-long body had grown to three-and-a-half metres.
The two meat extensions on the back began to get bigger and bigger, as if something was about to break out of the shell.
He was very worried for a while, worried that he was being parasitized by something, because this was also the case in the bizzare videos he had seen. However, Brandon found that his body was getting better and stronger, and his condition was not abnormal.
He didn't pay that much attention. Maybe something is about to come out, like the two horns on my head.
The two horns had begun to emerge. They were two emerald-coloured sharp horns, only one centimetre long. They looked very cute, but they appeared to be very hard. Brandon had never seen anything harder than it. No matter how hard the mineral was, scratching his horns would reveal clear scratches on it.
There was a time when Brandon was frantically searching for various ores and testing them on horns. And the sharp horns on his head did not disappoint him. But Brandon still had a regret. I wish that the sharp horns were in the shape of antlers. I always liked Shenlong.
In addition to the horns and the extensions on the back, the changes after swallowing the Blood Orchid had begun to slowly show up.
The head that originally looked like a snake began to slowly change, becoming larger and larger. The nostrils became thicker, and sometimes smoke with the smell of sulphur was emitted unconsciously.
The mouth began to widen, and the original bifurcation of the tongue like a snake letter disappeared and became thicker. Now he could produce more syllables. Sounds similar to human language also began to be produced vaguely.
Overall, the entire face appeared more vivid and more ferocious. But the changes were still ongoing.
He would go to Snake Valley every day, not only to hunt for food, but also to practise under the waterfall. The giant snake that was whipped to the bottom of the tunnel by Brandon with its tail had completely recovered, which showed that the vitality of snakes was indeed very strong. However, there was an obvious whip mark on the entire head, making it look even more ferocious.
Those giant snakes, he didn't want to kill them all. After all, there were fewer and fewer creatures like this that were already said to be spiritual creatures in the world. And they still had huge room for growth, and he didn't want to make them extinct.
At the beginning, those giant snakes were still very afraid of Brandon. Every time he came over, they were nervous and wary, but they obviously did not dare to attack. However, as time went by, they gradually began to lose their guard against him and began to recognize him as their new King among them.
After some time, Brandon decided to move his new home to the Snake King's Cave. This would be much more convenient in the future. The Snake King's cave looked very big. Inside was a huge cave, very deep and extending in all directions.
When he first walked to the entrance of the cave, he felt a stench that hit his nostrils and almost fainted.
There were snakes crawling everywhere inside, and all kinds of snakes were of different colours and intertwined with each other. Piles of huge white bones rising and falling inside looked very disgusting and terrifying.
After Brandon released the Dragon aura, these little snakes began to flee in all directions, and suddenly mountain-like white bones were exposed.
Brandon was a little hesitant. Although the cave was good, if he wanted to live in it, the renovation project would be too big. Just as he was thinking about it, a round head skeleton rolled down from the mountain of bones. Even though Brandon was very powerful, he was startled by this round skeleton.
It was a human skull, with two pitch-black holes looking straight at him. Brandon felt a cold air rising from his tailbone. There are humans around here! This was a strange emotion, both intimacy and fear.
Although he can now be said to be at the top of the food chain, that was in the absence of humans. Brandon, who was once a human being, naturally knows how terrible human beings are, and they are the masters of the entire earth.
Without any hesitation, he decided to settle here. With Snake Valley and five giant snakes as cover, I have nothing to fear.
Now that the decision was made, Brandon also started a vigorous cave renovation project. These giant snake minions could be said to be very smart. After getting along for a period of time, they could easily understand what Brandon meant to tell them.
With the help of the five giant snakes, the cave renovation project began to accelerate greatly. Under the command of Brandon, the huge mountain of bones was moved by the giant snakes into a huge pit.
This pit was natural. Brandon estimated that a meteorite fell here tens of thousands of years ago and smashed it. It was a huge pothole which looked very deep, and you couldn't even see the bottom at a glance. The pothole was surrounded by lush plants, and it was almost a closed ecological circle.
Brandon plans to go inside and explore when he had free time. As a creature that is almost at the top of the food chain, except for eating, the rest of the time is very free and bored.
A few days later, the vigorous renovation activities of the cave had ended. The entire cave was washed up and down several times by the giant snakes who used their huge bodies to drive the water in the deep cave into the cave.
When Brandon walked in, the peculiar smell had completely disappeared, the cave was clean and tidy, and the entire cave was filled with fresh air. This was really a good place. He was very satisfied.
He went back and took his belongings to his new home. In fact, it was just a sword hilt and a crystal. Only half of that crystal was left now, and when practising now, the absorption was getting faster and faster. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before the crystal would completely disappear.
The reason why he put the cave here was just to hide himself from others. After all, Brandon's body was mutating faster and faster now, and others would not think that he was just a mutated lizard. Coupled with the two small sharp horns on the top of its head, it had become more and more like a divine dragon in myths and legends.
Once discovered by humans, the entire human society would cause a sensation. This would not be a fun thing. The weird ones are sent to a zoo or a certain research institution, the weirder ones are dissected and studied, which is a real corpse in thousands of pieces.
Although Brandon was now powerful, he knew the power of human-made weapons of war. He couldn't risk it all, so he decided to hide himself.
This was Snake Valley, which was extremely concealed. Even if others entered here accidentally, they would only find that there were many snakes here, which was extremely dangerous. If there was no obvious purpose, they would not come in at all.
Even if they want to get in, they will definitely have to pay a huge price, and by that time, I would already have heard the news, and will get away. Thinking of this, Brandon couldn't help but feel proud.
This place was completely his own kingdom. Those big and small snakes outside were his cannon fodder. Of course, the stronger the cannon fodder, the better. Brandon began to feel that he should enhance the strength of those giant snakes. After all, they were his soldiers after all.
