The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

Why does my body feel heavier and heavier the more I swim?

"hiss?"

A heavy, sticky feeling of constraint came from the surface of the body without warning.

It lowered its head.

A thick layer of silt had somehow covered the gaps between the scales.

The silt was unusually heavy, clinging to its scales like a living thing, making its body incredibly sluggish.

"hiss?!"

It instinctively wanted to struggle, twisting its body in an attempt to shake off the mud.

A figure covered with thick, earthy yellow veins suddenly burst out of the silt below it.

Snowcake opened its claws and gripped the body of the giant black serpent monster.

"Roar!!!"

A ball of tricolor light rapidly formed in its mouth and aimed at the head of the giant black serpent monster.

"His!"

The giant black serpent sensed a deadly threat, and black light swirled within its scarlet vertical pupils.

hum!

"Ow?"

As Xuebing was gathering her breath, she felt her blood flow slow down.

The tricolor ball of light in his mouth became unstable, and the speed at which it condensed slowed down.

In this brief interval.

The nearby black serpent monsters coiled around it like moths to a flame.

They wrapped their slippery bodies around Xuebing's limbs, neck, and tail.

Several larger black snake monsters opened their mouths, which were full of sharp teeth, and tried to bite at Xuebing's eyes.

"Awooo~ Awooo!"

Using its strong body, Xuebing knocked away several black snake monsters, but more black snake monsters immediately filled the empty spaces, seemingly endlessly.

It was submerged by the surging tide of snakes, its body being dragged down into the water, the tricolored orb in its mouth flickering uncertainly, and it looked like it was about to be completely destroyed.

"Snow cake!"

All of this happened extremely quickly. Han Ning, who was standing on top, received the mental message from Xuebing and was worried that the giant black snake monster's underwater combat power would increase exponentially. He no longer hesitated.

"Roar!"

scoff!scoff!

His already imposing half-tiger body swelled up again.

Dark golden fur grew wildly, covering its entire body, and its bones crackled like popping beans.

In the blink of an eye, a fully-formed Molten Gold War Tiger, three meters tall and exuding a fierce aura, appeared.

boom!

He leaped into the water, plunging down like a cannonball.

The target is the waters where the snow cake and the giant black serpent are located.

wow~

The molten gold tiger crashed into the murky water like a meteorite falling into the sea.

The enormous impact pushed aside the water, and many black snake monsters were hit and died on the spot.

The turbid waves, mixed with the broken limbs of the serpent monster, shot into the sky!

Han Ning continued his descent, his gaze fixed on the large black snake monster bound by the mud.

"die!"

Han Ning's heart was filled with murderous intent. With a flick of his body, he swam to the side of the giant black snake monster, raising his huge tiger claws high.

Dark gold heat condensed at the claw tip, tearing through the water with terrifying power, and slammed down hard on the ugly snake head.

puff~

A muffled explosion resounded underwater.

The black serpent's hard skull was like an eggshell in the face of absolute power.

The tiger's claws pierced through the skull without any resistance and dug into the brain.

A burst of dark golden molten gold heat erupted.

The black serpent's mutilated head emitted a faint orange-yellow glow.

"Hiss... Gah..."

Its body stiffened, and all its movements came to an abrupt halt.

All the light had faded from his eyes, leaving only emptiness.

"What skill is this?"

Just by looking at the literal meaning of the description on the panel, Han Ning had no idea what the skill did.

However, when he looked through the new knowledge that had appeared in his mind, he understood its usefulness.

Simply put, it's about asking questions of nature and obtaining various kinds of information.

Because nature is not an intelligent being, but rather a set of rules, it is quite mystical.

Han Ning doesn't have time to study this skill yet.

The giant black serpent monster is dead.

The surrounding black serpent monsters showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, they became even more insane.

"Hey! Hiss!"

This was as if their own father had been killed; wave after wave of them launched fearless attacks on Han Ning and Xuebing.

"Your boss is dead, so kill as many of these small fry as come?"

Seeing this scene, Han Ning was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he was delighted.

Isn't this a perfectly valid source of experience?

He helped Snowcake deal with the black serpent monsters surrounding him, and the lizard returned to the building.

Below, it was pitch black, like a zombie siege.

Pat pat pat~

Countless streams of black venom shot out with a whooshing sound.

Han Ning withdrew from his full transformation and, in a half-human, half-tiger form, began slaughtering the black snake monsters that were attacking him.

With a single slap, the heads of the three black snake monsters were smashed together in a row.

[Druid growth progress +9, current Lv6, 10/3000]

"Only three of them are +9... This means that their energy has decreased by at least 60%. Sure enough, the higher the level, the less benefit these weaker guys bring me."

"But... it's not to the point of having no energy at all; we can still sell in large quantities."

His eyes flashed, and with a tiger's roar, he and Xuebing began a frenzied slaughter.

"Roar!!" "Awooo!!"

One by one, black snakes died under their claws and vines.

Their experience is also gradually increasing.

But this scene did not last long.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

They only killed a few dozen black snake monsters.

Han Ning then saw more black snakes emerging from the surface and bottom of the water from all directions.

A faint roar echoed from afar.

That familiar tightness in my scalp returned once again.

"No...it seems we've already attracted the attention of the Black Serpent Clan. We have to retreat."

"Snow Biscuit, let's go!"

There should be another 3-4 chapters today, I'll post them later.

Chapter 92 The Effects of the Mysterious Seaweed Fruit

Ordinary black snake monsters couldn't stop them at all.

Before the main force of the black serpent monsters arrived.
