Chapter 28

The Blood-Crowned Giant Snake let out a roar, and the massive wound on its body burst open, sprouting a cluster of grotesque flesh buds that wriggled and healed. The black flesh buds, resembling maggots, invaded the giant snake’s body, while the large fleshy crown expanded and contracted, providing the power of blood flow.

The Blue-Eyed Giant Snake humanely stopped its attack, its eyes revealing a complex emotion not typical of snakes. It let out a silent roar to the sky, and its muscles began to ripple layer by layer, like a well-prepared martial arts expert. It coiled up the cliff wall and positioned itself above the Blood-Crowned Giant Snake.

Black flesh buds covered the entire body of the Blood-Crowned Giant Snake. It viciously bit a small python that approached without caution, secreting black mucus from its mouth. The small python struggled for a moment, then suddenly sprouted black flesh buds all over its body, merging into the Blood-Crowned Giant Python.

The Blue-Eyed Giant Snake roared in anger, emitting a hoarse wind-like sound, and pounced on the Blood-Crowned Giant Python, which was now even larger. Its body extended with the agility of a spring, moving as swiftly and powerfully as a dragon emerging from a cave. If there were martial artists present, they would have been stunned.

A third-rate martial arts move called 'Three Probes of the Spirit Snake' was executed with the same force by the giant python, creating a shocking impact. The two giant snakes, one with high martial arts skills and the other with biochemical mutations, could easily cause significant destruction in a city. However, the Blood-Crowned Giant Snake, driven by instinct, was slightly inferior.

The Blue-Eyed Giant Snake tightly constricted its opponent, its strong muscles forming a powerful force that bound the Blood-Crowned Snake, forcing its head down in front of Chen Ang.

"I didn't expect that the components promoting human cell vitality would first benefit cancer cells. Tumors, which can already divide infinitely, have become so terrifyingly mutated with the help of the drug," Chen Ang said, not only surprised but also feeling a heavy heart.

The Blood Orchid, this miraculous plant, could cause such terrifying consequences if not used effectively. Western pharmaceutical companies might never have imagined that opening a new world would be like opening Pandora's box. The giant snake, due to long-term consumption of Blood Orchid, accumulated too many active components, leading to sudden mutations.

Or, all giant snakes might be on the brink of mutation. Without disturbance, they might never complete this transformation, but once chemically or genetically disturbed, they would likely undergo such changes.

If humans took drugs rich in Blood Orchid components, they would not be so lucky. Living in a chemical environment, they would always be walking a tightrope, with mutation being almost inevitable.

In that case, the world should not be called "Rampage of the Giant Snakes," but rather "Cancer Apocalypse" or "Biohazard."

Watching the Blood-Crowned Giant Snake, whose mind was lost and body gradually transforming into a biochemical monster, Chen Ang sighed and gently placed his hand on its blood crown. A sense of connection through flesh and blood came from the blood crown.

With a gentle vibration of his inner strength, the yin-yang energy cycle in the giant snake's body, which was on the verge of collapse, became chaotic. The intense conflict of bodily functions caused the giant snake to collapse on the ground.

For biochemical mutations, genetics can only interfere and stimulate from the outside, but traditional Chinese medicine can control and influence them. Each biochemical specimen is in a highly unstable quasi-stable state. Sometimes, a gentle pull can collapse the entire system, like removing the last support from a tower of blocks.

Although the giant snake's combat power is strong, its circulatory system, organs, and even the brain's nervous system are in a highly unstable state. Chen Ang merely pushed it, disrupting its circulatory system. Without oxygen, the giant snake's nervous system was also destroyed.

At this moment, it was just a pile of decaying flesh about to collapse genetically.

In just a few minutes, the giant snake's body, which had reconstructed its circulatory stability, could not compare to the millions of years of evolution in nature. If ordinary snakes could adapt to such changes, the body of a biochemical giant snake could only be described as a sieve with countless flaws, easily eliminated by nature's system.

Biochemical mutations are like bugs in nature, easily fixed. Traditional Chinese medicine, which follows the harmony of nature, has the ability to overcome mutations. In the world, it is not the strong who win, but the adaptable who survive.

Chen Ang's overdeveloped brain was initially extremely unstable, even sliding uncontrollably into an unknown abyss. This human-made development, without natural selection, would only lead to collapse. Like a wedge inserted into the operation of nature, it would face the full pressure of mind and body, ultimately being removed.

It's like a sturdy tower, where removing one support can make it wobble and be destroyed by a gust of wind, just as Lucy's body collapsed in a few days, leading to her death. However, this sturdy support is both protection and a constraint, allowing humans to safely adapt to the environment while also restraining the driving force of human evolution.

The fastest way to rebuild a high tower is not to replace parts one by one, but to completely dismantle the original tower and rebuild it from scratch. Chen Ang chose this path, which is dangerous yet quick, always walking on the edge of collapse.

What keeps him going is not his strong control over his body or his superior intelligence, but his understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and balance, the long evolutionary path of qi, which protects his body. Those who pursue power will eventually be overwhelmed by it, while those who pursue knowledge and wisdom can move forward.

The Blue-Eyed Giant Snake looked sadly at its melting fellow, carefully extending its head to nudge Chen Ang's body, its eyes full of longing. Chen Ang smiled, rubbing its large head, and untied a small package from his sleeve, revealing a cold silver container.

A purple liquid glowed faintly. Chen Ang raised his hand and injected the liquid into the Blood-Crowned Giant Snake's body. "Gaining human-like intelligence but losing the ability to live forever, I wonder if it is a blessing or a curse for you?" Chen Ang mused, gently saying to the Blue-Eyed Giant Snake.

The stable genes of snakes can withstand the pressure of the Blood Orchid, but the giant snake, after being modified by the over-frequency drug, can never bear the genetic pressure. Unless the snake reaches Chen Ang's current level of qi cultivation, using the circulation of essence, energy, and spirit to regulate and stabilize its genes.

The Blood-Crowned Giant Snake struggled a bit, slightly opening its eyes, revealing a deep blue gaze. It looked at Chen Ang with a sense of kinship, extending its head to nudge his foot. The eyes that reopened were no longer filled with violent madness but were clear and calm.

Chen Ang stood up with a bitter smile, patted the head of the Blue-Eyed Giant Python, and said, "You take care of it here, I'll go first!" The giant python narrowed its eyes, coiling around the Blood-Crowned Giant Python.

Chen Ang carefully observed the Blood Orchid plants, collected several samples, and gathered data and samples of the surrounding soil, water, and companion plants. He lightly touched the cliff wall and disappeared into the treetops. Several giant snakes cautiously slithered over, lying down in front of the Blue-Eyed Giant Python.

The Blue-Eyed Giant Python let out a silent roar to the sky, and a mysterious sound wave spread in all directions, startling numerous fierce beasts. In the distance, a giant crocodile suddenly emerged from the river, snatching a white-clad man from a boat and dragging him into the water.

The white men and women on the boat screamed. A woman, out of control, was about to jump into the river, but the others held her tightly. "Shamans, no, Jack is beyond saving."

Blood ripples in the river confirmed his words. Shamans covered her face and sobbed in grief.

In a more distant place, a fully armed mercenary team was chasing them on a large boat. An old man with white hair greedily looked at the crystalline blood-red pill in the bottle, muttering, "Blood Orchid, the flower of immortality, the gift of life."

He turned to the mercenaries and shouted, "Speed up! We must reach that place before Monday!"
