LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 334 Pet Snake_2
"Wang Tao!"
At this time, others also arrived with weapons. Seeing that a black giant snake was coiled around Wang Tao but not attacking, everyone was confused but remained vigilant.
"Don't worry, it won't attack us...,"
Wang Tao spoke, patting the head of the black snake, which flicked its tongue and licked his hand.
Then Wang Tao pulled the black snake off himself. The snake showed no signs of aggression and seemed very well-behaved. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
The situation after the snake egg hatched was different from what Wang Tao had imagined. He thought it would be a monster, but now it seemed like a monster that was more like a... pet?
[HP: 100000/100000]
[Mana: 100000/100000]
[Grade: Level 4 - Elite]
After interacting with the black snake, Wang Tao faintly sensed its location, a feeling somewhat like a weakened version of a Perception Ring.
Moreover, when Wang Tao tried communicating with the snake in his mind, it seemed to really hear and understand him!
Wang Tao told it to coil up by itself, and it tilted its head to look at him, then actually coiled into a heap on the ground!
Although the black snake could understand Wang Tao's words, it seemed unable to express its own thoughts, so Wang Tao could only communicate one-way. He couldn't have a conversation like Ding Yuqin could.
Even so, this ability to communicate with the black snake was still very impressive. It felt a bit like controlling a [Night Demon Type I], but the [Night Demon Type I] was rather dull, while this black snake was somewhat more clever...
"This is pretty interesting!"
Wang Tao shared his findings with everyone, and they were all amazed.
"So, it's essentially your pet now?"
Ding Yuqin asked, slightly scared but also excited.
Many people naturally feel terrified of cold-blooded animals like snakes, especially women. Even though Ding Yuqin and the others had reaches Level 3 strength, they were still somewhat uneasy seeing a snake, let alone one that was at Level 4 and stronger than them!
"Yeah, it should be. I think this might be because I used my life energy to hatch it..."
Wang Tao petted the black snake's head, and it rubbed against his palm, showing great affection.
Wang Tao felt it must be somewhat intelligent; from the moment it hatched, it hadn't attacked anyone. It seemed to know that these people were all friends of Wang Tao.
Once everyone was sure the black snake wouldn't attack them, they all came closer. Someone even touched it; its body was cold, feeling entirely different from touching Lightning.
Lightning came over to Wang Tao's side, watching the black snake warily, as if ready to pounce at Wang Tao's command.
Wang Tao chuckled and ruffled Lightning's head.
"It's okay!"
Then, Wang Tao and the others observed the black snake for a while, and they unanimously agreed that it seemed to be a non-venomous python.
The black snake was very gentle, allowing people to handle it without showing any signs of its Level 4 status.
Speaking of its level, Wang Tao found it somewhat miraculous.
Although the description on the snake egg said a Level 4 Elite or higher serpent would emerge after hatching, it still felt unbelievable that a newly hatched snake possessed such strong abilities.
Jiang Shixue mentioned that the black snake didn't exude a Level 4 aura before it ate its eggshell. But after it finished the eggshell, its aura turned Level 4.
The eggshell clearly stored a lot of nutrients. After all, it was laid by a Catastrophic Serpent—being strong from birth being a Level 4 Elite seemed reasonable.
However, Wang Tao was slightly dissatisfied with one thing—the size of the black snake.
If it were bigger, about the size of the Catastrophic Serpent, it could at least be used as a mount.
Or if it were smaller, able to coil around Wang Tao's wrist, it might serve as a surprise weapon in battle.
But its current size... as thick as a bowl's rim, more than three meters long, and about fifty kilograms. This size wasn't big but wasn't small either, roughly like a normal python. So, it couldn't be used as a mount and wasn't easy to carry. It was obviously impossible to wear it on the body; it just had to follow the group like Lightning...
"I wonder if you'll grow bigger. I hope you get a bit more imposing..."
After muttering to himself, Wang Tao directed the black snake through some simple tests.
The black snake had mana, but no particular Ability was tested. Wang Tao thought it might be similar to Night Demon: not without Ability, but its Ability might be all Passive, like boosting vitality, HP, and such.
Its physical constitution was strong, and it was quite powerful. Wang Tao tried, and if it were to coil around someone, even a Fourth-order Awakener might be in danger.
However, since it hadn't awakened, compared to a Fourth-order Awakener, its strength was somewhat lacking if it were in a direct fight.
As for its actual combat capability, since there were no enemies present, it was temporarily impossible to test. Wang Tao felt it probably wouldn't be too weak, considering it's a Fourth Order Elite, after all.
"From now on, you'll be called Blacky."
Wang Tao petted the black snake's head.
The black snake flicked its tongue and then slowly coiled around Wang Tao again.
Perhaps because Wang Tao used his own HP to hatch it, it especially liked being around him, a bit clingy. Unfortunately, its appearance was too unsettling for many. Ding Yuqin and the others touched it out of curiosity but immediately kept their distance afterward.
