Chapter 18

Mo Wen stroked his chin, the scene before him was truly bizarre. It was absolutely abnormal for a prestigious university like Huaxia to have such a dormitory room.

At this moment, he finally understood why the eighth floor was so empty, with not a single person in sight. It was likely that, apart from this one room, no one lived in any of the other rooms on the entire eighth floor!

He was somewhat puzzled as to why the dormitory manager had assigned him to such a room. Given that the surrounding rooms were unoccupied, the eighth floor should have been a specially designated area, and it shouldn't have been assigned to an ordinary student like him.

Considering the situation in the common room of 805, wouldn't an ordinary student be scared to death upon entering?

Mo Wen walked around the common room, and inside, there were at least twenty different types of venomous creatures, gathered in clusters. Some of these venomous creatures, with their fierce temperaments, would immediately attack anyone who approached. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to survive in such a dormitory room.

Mo Wen noticed that the dormitory had six rooms and one bathroom. Apart from the bathroom door, only one room's door was open. From that room, various venomous insects would crawl out and then crawl back in.

"Interesting!"

Mo Wen glanced into the room and saw that it was crawling with venomous creatures, even more densely packed than in the common room. Scorpions, centipedes, snakes, spiders... all kinds of venomous creatures were piled up in the room, emitting a strange, not unpleasant, fishy smell. The smell was peculiar, even having an addictive effect, much like drugs that could lead to dependency if inhaled for too long.

Mo Wen's lips curled into a playful smile as he stepped towards the room. He was truly surprised today. Just a routine dormitory assignment had led him to such an unusual situation.

Among those venomous creatures, many were rare species, some as uncommon as the golden-banded krait. If they fell into his hands, they would have significant uses. To others, this place might be a den of demons, but to him, it was a treasure trove.

Whoosh!

As soon as he entered the room, something seemed to be triggered. A shadow as thick as an adult's arm lunged at him, aiming straight for his neck.

Hmph!

Mo Wen let out a light hum, and his left hand extended just in time. With a casual slap, the shadow was sent flying back, accompanied by a sharp hiss.

He saw a large shadow coiled around the chandelier above. It appeared to be a python, with a body of unknown length, but its head was as large as an adult's palm. The python's head hung down from the air, its cold, icy eyes fixed on Mo Wen, filled with hostility but also a hint of caution.

The python's body was a dark green, with strange white patterns on its scales, resembling blue flowers. On its head was a fleshy crest, like a rooster's comb, making it look extremely unusual compared to ordinary pythons.

"Blue-flowered Crested Python!"

Mo Wen looked at the python with some surprise. He hadn't expected to find a Blue-flowered Crested Python coiled up in the room. This snake was quite famous and known for its ferocity.

It was said that when a Blue-flowered Crested Python reached adulthood, its scales were impervious to blades and ordinary weapons, and it possessed incredible strength, equivalent to that of nine oxen. Once it wrapped around something, it could crush even iron into powder.

Such snakes were not commonly seen. In his previous life as a court physician, Mo Wen had only seen one, and that was in the imperial animal garden. To encounter a Blue-flowered Crested Python on Earth was truly unexpected! This suggested that there were still many unknown aspects of Earth.

Hiss!

The Blue-flowered Crested Python's cold, icy eyes stared at Mo Wen, but it did not attack. Instead, it stood in front of him, baring its fangs and facing him aggressively. It seemed reluctant to attack Mo Wen but was determined to prevent him from entering the room.

Mo Wen smacked his lips and looked at his left hand, which had already swollen and turned bruised. Blocking the Blue-flowered Crested Python's attack had injured his hand.

"My body is too weak!"

Mo Wen sighed helplessly. If he were the divine physician from his previous life, a mere Blue-flowered Crested Python that hadn't yet reached adulthood would have been no match for him, and he could have easily grabbed it with one hand.

Now, just a casual block, even targeting a vital point, had injured his hand. Although the injury wasn't severe, it was enough to show that he couldn't handle the Blue-flowered Crested Python.

While his Heavenly Skill was sharp, it was effective against humans, not the physical structure of the Blue-flowered Crested Python, which he didn't understand well.

Mo Wen knew that with the Blue-flowered Crested Python guarding the room, his plan to investigate was likely foiled. Reluctantly, he only glanced around the room, which didn't differ much from a typical dormitory room in terms of layout.

However, the entire room was crawling with various venomous creatures, on the floor, walls, tables, and beds, so densely packed that they were impossible to count. Due to the closed windows and curtains, the room was dim, and Mo Wen couldn't see the specific types of venomous creatures or any other treasures.

Indeed, in Mo Wen's eyes, the room was a treasure trove. Even without considering the many rare species, the value of the Blue-flowered Crested Python alone far exceeded that of the golden-banded krait. Additionally, there were other venomous creatures that were also rare and valuable.

Just as Mo Wen was about to leave the room, a low, deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Classmate, curiosity killed the cat. Don't look around too much."

A short, stocky teenager had suddenly appeared behind Mo Wen. The boy was about 165 cm tall, with an ordinary build and a somewhat ugly, even lecherous, appearance, but also a cold, eerie aura. It was a strange combination.

However, it was clear that such an appearance would not be popular with beauty-conscious girls. Mo Wen, though ordinary-looking, was not as exaggerated.

"Hello, my name is Mo Wen. I'm a new student this year."

Mo Wen smiled and looked at the boy in a friendly manner. He didn't discriminate based on appearance; one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Anyone who dared to enter this dormitory room was likely not simple.

"Quite surprising that someone would dare to live in this room. Good luck. By the way, I don't like others entering my room."

The ugly boy glanced at Mo Wen with some surprise, not bothering to introduce himself, and stepped into his room.

Whoosh!

A strange, sharp whistle suddenly came from the ugly boy's mouth. In the next moment, the venomous creatures in the common room surged into the room like a tide, forcing Mo Wen to quickly step aside.

In the blink of an eye, the common room was empty, with all the venomous creatures entering the ugly boy's room.

"My darlings, you all snuck out as soon as I forgot to close the door. What if those perverts saw you and crushed you? You never learn."

The ugly boy petted a few large, white spiders lovingly, scolding them as if speaking to a lover.

Mo Wen's lips twitched. He finally understood that the terrifying number of venomous creatures were all raised by this boy. Was he a bug breeder? In his memory, there were indeed bug breeders in the world, who specialized in raising various strange venomous creatures and were very skilled in their breeding techniques.

However, bug breeders were rare, with peculiar temperaments and a preference for living in remote areas. Ordinary people not only rarely encountered them but might not even know of their existence.

But Mo Wen was not unfamiliar. In his past, he had often traveled through deep mountains and forests, where he had met many bug breeders. With the Mo family's traditional medical skills, although he didn't know how to raise bugs, he was more knowledgeable about the uses of various venomous creatures than the bug breeders themselves, and had conducted many transactions with them.
