The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 138 unlocked! The Great Devourer of the Nuo Snake!

Inside the training room, Lin Ye shook his head, and the monument was absorbed into the Ouroboros imprint.

He walked to the table and sat down. He took out "Innate Qi" and flipped through it. After a while, he took out "Whale Killing Divine Qi".

The "Innate Qi" only has four levels, and compared to the "Whale Killing Divine Qi", it is simply ridiculously powerful!

Compared to "Whale Killing Divine Qi", "Innate Divine Qi" is clearly a health-preserving exercise.

He shook his head and silently put away the two secret martial arts manuals.

Then, he took out a wooden box and gently opened it, releasing a faint fragrance mixed with the scent of the river.

Looking at the snake slough in the wooden box, I realized it was the same one I had obtained from that sacrificial site that day.

【Ingredient Name: Remains of a 100-Year-Old Black Bashe King】

[Ingredient Category: Blood and Meat]

[Ingredient Tier: Lord Tier]

Edible part: the whole body

[Effects of Consumption: Moderately improves constitution and agility. Slightly improves flexibility and blood circulation.]

It looks a lot like the previous snake molt, only a little smaller.

Were they shed at different times?

Without much thought, he took out the snake skin and took a bite. The snake skin bounced in his mouth like a mille-feuille, and tasted very good.

After eating it all in just a couple of bites, a cool sensation spread from my stomach, like countless tiny hands massaging my internal organs, which felt very comfortable.

[Consuming three pieces of the molted skin of the Black King Snake (2/3)]

[Agility: 0.96] → [Agility: 0.97]

[Constitution: 1.08] → [Constitution: 1.09]

Black characters appeared before his eyes, and Lin Ye smiled.

Only one more snake molt is needed to unlock [Nuoshe Great Devour].

With six potential points, plus the three from [Bear Slaughter] before, I can directly skip the first level of "Whale Killing Divine Qi".

However, for the time being, he still wants to upgrade the "Spirit Ring Fist" to the fifth level.

In this way, his shock will be stronger after being superimposed.

He will become even stronger when he upgrades the Soul Whale Fist to the sixth level.

Similarly, his internal energy penetration will be stronger.

Upgrading the Spirit Ring Fist to the fifth level is like laying a foundation; if there's an opportunity to become even stronger, you certainly can't let it pass.

After all, if you miss it, you might really miss it forever.

If he had enough potential points, he even wanted to directly upgrade "Cloud Crane Fist" to the fifth level, and even trigger "Peak of the Peaks".

With the pinnacle of the three major martial arts superimposed, his "Refining Shock into Blood" would become incredibly powerful.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough potential points.

Collecting his thoughts, he looked at the other reward from [Nuoshe Dazhu]: the 'Resilience' trait.

Although it's just a physical characteristic and doesn't form an ability like [Ink's Grievance "Bear Slayer LV.1"], it's still a significant improvement.

The exact size will be revealed after unlocking the achievement.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze distant.

Where will the third snake molt be?

Just then, my phone vibrated twice.

I took out my phone, randomly opened the WeChat account, and sat up abruptly after reading the text.

[Sister Jiang]: Brother, save me!

[Sister Jiang]: Location coordinates {***, ***}

......

On the outskirts of the coastal city, a light rain was falling, making the roads slippery.

In an old house, a follower of the Nuo Snake Cult removes his mask and wipes away the water stains.

Jiang Muyu was tied up and thrown on the ground, unconscious.

"Whoosh—Boom—"

Lightning illuminated the rain curtain, followed by a deafening roar of thunder from high above.

"throat!"

Jiang Muyu coughed lightly, gradually regaining consciousness.

She looked at the man with the three snakes and the Nuo snake cultist, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Tieqin Jiang clan, you cannot kill me!"

The three serpents led the followers back, their faces withered, their teeth exposed, revealing a chilling smile.

Jiang Muyu's heart skipped a beat at his face.

The three serpent followers chuckled and put on their snake-face masks.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the window, and the forked tongue of a centipede, resembling a snake's whiskers, appeared terrifying and eerie.

"Does a small, insignificant martial arts family from a remote corner of the land dare to talk to the Divine Cult about status?"

"You only deserve to eat my Lord's farts!"

"This day was destined for you from the moment you came up from that tomb."

"Do you know who is the one who controls the White-Haired Grudge with the sound of their flute?"

"That's our Divine Servant's own younger brother!"

"It's not just you; everyone who walked with you that day will die!"

"Boom—"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, illuminating the snake-faced masks of the three serpent followers.

"Clang!"

He drew a dagger and walked towards Jiang Muyu, its blade gleaming coldly.

Jiang Muyu lay on the ground, struggling to lean against the corner of the wall, a hint of fear in her eyes.

Over the years, everyone who has met her has treated her with utmost respect, and no one has ever been unafraid of her status.

But today, it's no longer valid.

"Tap, tap, tap."

The three serpents, along with their followers, stroked the blade and approached step by step.

"Are you ready to give your life for my Lord?"

"Your master? Your master is bullshit."

A voice sounded behind him, and he turned around sharply to look at the door.

A burly figure stood in front of the door, water droplets dripping from his hair.

"It's you!"

The three snakes led their followers to recognize Lin Ye, and were greatly alarmed.

He was well aware of the vast gap between himself and the person in front of him.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Jiang Muyu and pressed the blade against her neck.

"Let me go! I won't kill her!"

Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them if they run away!

Lin Ye remained motionless, standing quietly with a calm expression.

too weak.

So weak that he can't even be moved by any emotion.

"I'm talking to you! Aren't you afraid she'll die? She's the legitimate daughter of the Tieqin Jiang family. If she dies, you'll definitely be held accountable."

Before he could finish speaking, he could no longer make a sound.

"laugh--"

Lin Ye casually ripped off the head of the three snake-banded cult members.

No wonder he doesn't even have a natal black snake. Even among the followers of the Three Serpents, this level of strength is probably among the weakest.

"Thump!"

The head was thrown to the ground, and a foot stepped on it, flattening it completely and deforming the mask as well.

Untie Jiang Muyu's ropes. "Things aren't very peaceful in the city lately. Let's get a few people from Tieqin's group to protect you."

Jiang Muyu was still a little dazed and nodded subconsciously.

A few seconds later, I realized that everything was alright.

A tingling sensation ran down my scalp, and a few tears streamed down my face.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and wiped her face.

"Thank you," she said softly.

Lin Ye smiled in surprise upon hearing this, "When did Sister Jiang become so polite?"

He casually tossed the rope aside, then reached out and groped the Nuo Snake Cultist, soon pulling out a wooden box.

Upon opening the wooden box, a familiar, pleasant fragrance wafted out.

"What's that smell? It's so fishy."

Jiang Muyu covered her nose and looked at the wooden box in Lin Ye's hand.

Lin Ye was taken aback and looked at the wooden box in his hand. It was indeed the molted skin of the Black King Snake, and it had a pleasant fragrance.

"Does it smell fishy?" He closed the lid.

Jiang Muyu looked at Lin Ye with some surprise, "Doesn't it smell fishy?"

I feel fine.

Lin Ye spoke up, then shook his head, saying that Sister Jiang had eaten too much good food.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you back. If things don't go well for a while, you can go back to Tieqin."

He could sense that the Nuo Snake God Cult's sacrificial rituals were nearing their end or conclusion.

There might be some trouble in Coast City during this period.

Jiang Muyu shook her head. "Let's see how things go."

Lin Ye didn't try to persuade him further. "Then it's up to you."

......

Evening, Red Whale Security Group, Training Room 007.

Lin Ye sat at the table, looking at the monument.

[Agility: 0.97] → [Agility: 0.98]

[Constitution: 1.09] → [Constitution: 1.10]

After consuming the third snake molt, his constitution attribute has reached 1.1.

However, what made him happiest was...

"Monument, unlock achievement."

"The Great Devourer of the Nuo Snake!"
