Invincible Snake Emperor-Chapter 191 - 188: The Little Snake’s Overbearing Aura
Screams rang out from the crowd. Everyone knew it was over for the beautiful, intelligent little snake.
From the looks of it, it was so overwhelmed by the Emperor Cobra's presence that it couldn't even resist. It would be in the other snake's belly in a second.
But...
In the blink of an eye, just as the little snake was about to vanish into the cobra's maw, its tiny, crystal-clear eyes shot out a cold light. A frigid aura burst from its body, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.
For some unseen reason, the hair on many people's arms stood on end, and they broke out in goosebumps.
'Why is it suddenly so cold?' 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The Emperor Cobra lunged, its vicious maw snapping shut. But as it came into contact with the frigid aura, a flicker of unconscious fear appeared in its vicious eyes.
It was a fear that seemed to rise from the depths of its soul, impossible to control.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Emperor Cobra's body, over three meters long, began to tremble violently. It shivered before the little snake, then slowly lowered its raised body until it was completely prostrated on the ground.
That's right, prostrated.
As if bowing in submission to its new master.
The mighty Emperor Cobra, the overlord of the Snake Race, was actually prostrating itself before a tiny snake in front of everyone. All of its previous ferocity was gone.
This dramatic scene shattered everyone's perception of reality. 'What in the world is going on?'
In an instant, the entire area fell silent. Everyone stared in astonishment at the large snake prostrated before the small one, growing more dumbfounded by the second.
'Is this Emperor Cobra a fake? Is it made of paper mache?'
Involuntarily, many people's gazes turned to Chen Bo, as if to ask, 'What the hell is wrong with your snake?'
Chen Bo's face flushed crimson. He was utterly humiliated and, faced with the scene before him, at a complete loss for words.
'His Emperor Cobra was supposed to get an instant kill, but instead, it was inexplicably groveling before this tiny snake.'
He had lost all face; it was the most humiliating moment of his life. With all eyes fixed on him, he wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
"Emperor, what are you doing?! Get up! Eat it in one bite!"
Chen Bo roared in fury, veins bulging on his forehead.
'Damn it! He'd spent a full 150,000 to get this Emperor Cobra from a Snake Catcher, all so he could show off at the Snake King Festival.'
Snake culture was prevalent in the area, and having a good snake could attract the admiration of many girls.
Chen Bo never imagined that the Emperor Cobra he'd spent 150,000 on would grovel before a snake no longer than a chopstick. It just didn't make any sense.
He was furious, so furious he felt like he could spit blood. "Emperor, get up now!"
But no matter how much Chen Bo yelled, the Emperor Cobra just trembled and groveled before the little snake, terrified and completely unable to resist.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed Snake Catcher exclaimed, "Could that little snake be a rare species?"
A large snake groveling before a small one, and in such a clear display of submission... it's impossible unless there's bloodline suppression among the Snake Race.
And this was an Emperor Cobra, a rare species and an overlord among snakes.
How could it so easily submit to a tiny snake?
Once this was said, looks of understanding appeared on everyone's faces. It was the only explanation that made sense.
Besides, though the little snake looked small, it was clearly highly intelligent. Its very first appearance proved that—the way it stood balanced on the tip of its tail was something no ordinary snake could do.
How could a common little snake be so intelligent and clever? It had to be a rare species.
With the point explained, it was like a sudden enlightenment for the crowd. They all became convinced of it. Yes, this little snake had to be a rare Snake Species.
Only the young man showed a faint trace of helplessness, as if the crowd's conclusion—that it was merely a "rare Snake Species"—was an insult to his snake.
Quietly, the crowd's attention shifted to the young man. No wonder he was so calm—he was holding a rare species. Truly impressive.
Li Qingzhao's eyes shone brightly. 'Awesome! So it's a rare species!'
The viewers in her live stream chat fell silent. Even the rich fans who had been clamoring to buy it quieted down.
Having watched Li Qingzhao's streams for a while, they had a rough idea of the prices for different snake species. A rare species alone would cost at least a million.
Moreover, this little snake was so unique—small yet exquisite, exquisite yet highly intelligent. Without even moving, it had made an Emperor Cobra submit before it.
Its dominance was palpable.
Clearly, this little snake would probably cost no less than five million.
In just a moment, everyone's perspective had completely flipped. They were no longer worried about the little snake's life, but had started to worry about what would become of the Emperor Cobra.
The cobra's position, prostrated on the ground, was awkward. Chen Bo's was even more so; he was mortified.
The snake battle seemed to be over as soon as it began. But since Chen Bo hadn't surrendered, the match was technically still ongoing.
The little red-and-white snake let out a few soft chirps. The sound was crisp and pleasant, like a stream flowing through a mountain gorge.
The tiny, exquisite snake began to move. In front of everyone, it leaned toward the prostrated Emperor Cobra and bit down. The bite was very gentle, not at all fierce or savage. The Emperor Cobra didn't even dare to twitch.
A bloody wound appeared on the Emperor Cobra's head. The little snake let out an excited chirp and then, as if burrowing into tofu, started to drill into the wound. Its chopstick-long body disappeared, bit by bit, into the cobra's head.
Until it had vanished completely from sight.
This....
At such a sight, the color drained from everyone's faces. They looked as if they had been struck over the head, completely and utterly thunderstruck.
"HISS HISS..."
The Emperor Cobra let out a horrific, pained shriek. Its three-meter-long body began to twitch uncontrollably on the ground, thrashing back and forth. The sight made everyone gasp in horror.
'My god, the little snake burrowed into the big snake's body!'
This scene was like a sudden clap of thunder, sending the entire venue into an uproar. Li Qingzhao's live stream chat exploded with comments as viewers were left dumbfounded. Her viewer count skyrocketed, instantly breaking the one million mark.
Snakes eating other snakes is common, but for one snake to burrow directly into another's body was simply unheard of.
Evidently, Li Qingzhao's live stream was an explosive success.
Back at the venue, everyone held their breath as they watched the Emperor Cobra shriek and convulse. Within a few breaths, its once "plump" body began to visibly wither, its Life Force draining away at a rapid pace.
"Oh god, my Emperor Cobra!"
Chen Bo's face turned a deathly pale.
He looked at the young man, who stood with his arms crossed and a calm expression, and yelled, "You win! I surrender! Now make your damn snake get out of mine!"
"It will come out on its own."
The young man said with a smile.
"After my Emperor is dead? Kid, if my snake dies, you'll pay with your life!"
Chen Bo roared. He had paid a full 150,000 for his Emperor Cobra.
"Are you threatening me?"
The young man shot him a sidelong glance. That single look was enough to scare Chen Bo out of his wits. He collapsed to the ground, trembling, as if he'd been plunged into an endless abyss of death.
