Chapter 21 Grandfather and Grandson Recognize Each Other
Long Chen paled in fright and fled without looking back, with resolute determination.
But the wolf mouth behind him snapped down again. It dodged nimbly. Years of mercenary killer instincts made it alert, but it was still bitten on the tail by the wolf's mouth.
It was caught and sent into the wolf's mouth.
It could clearly smell the bloody stench from the other's mouth, the bad breath left from eating too much meat.
"Roar—"
It screamed and struggled in pain, sensing the aura of death. It roared at the sky, and the Qi and blood in its body surged. The mist and red-haired rain in the void formed a vortex and poured into its body.
Instantly, its aura and pressure greatly increased, evolving from a level-five beast to a level-six.
At the moment of life and death, it actually advanced.
Suanni, this kind of creature possesses the bloodline of a dragon, rumored to be the fifth son of a dragon, and indeed possesses extraordinary talent.
Its whole body's strength greatly increased.
But it felt that it was still no match for the opponent; the difference in aura was too great.
It suddenly turned its head and bit off its tail with ruthless determination. A cloud of blood mist rose from its body, and it disappeared into the mist in a flash.
"Hoo~"
Zhang Ji darted out and chased after it.
Their speed was extremely fast as they rushed into Xichuan Town, charging and rampaging. The giant, ferocious Suanni that Long Chen had transformed into leaped between high-rise buildings. Its fifteen-meter body was not clumsy at all, but as swift as the wind.
Its sharp claws could easily tear through concrete buildings, using the walls of buildings to leap and escape in mid-air.
Zhang Ji chased from behind, and all obstacles were forcefully crushed and destroyed.
At this time, the sky gradually brightened.
The red-haired rain stopped, and in the mist, at the entrance of the Xichuan Town People's Hospital.
A silver ring snake slowly slithered out, its body more than thirteen meters long, its silver-brown scales shimmering.
Its eyes were full of joy and excitement, and tears fell.
"I'm out! I've finally left that damn place!"
It was very excited, roaring at the sky, making beast-like sounds.
It was none other than Zhang Youfu.
Zhang Ji's grandfather.
Trapped in the morgue and unable to get out, he ate all the corpses. Today, he finally evolved and shed his skin for the fourth time, breaking through the door and emerging.
"I need to go home quickly. I wonder how my son and grandson are doing. This hospital is full of blood, and the streets don't look peaceful either. Why is the fog still so thick? There's not a single person around. Where did everyone go..."
Zhang Youfu was full of suspicion and looked back at his huge snake body, and he couldn't help but worry.
"I've turned into a snake. How am I going to explain this to my grandson? What if I scare him?"
Zhang Youfu was very worried.
But just then.
"Rumble"
From the mist in the distance, there was a huge roar, and the sound of buildings collapsing. A monster that looked like a rabbit but also like a civet cat rushed past.
Then, a gust of fishy wind swept through the mist, as if chasing after the other.
Zhang Youfu was horrified.
"What is that monster?!"
He hurriedly dodged behind the stone lion at the entrance of the hospital.
But suddenly.
In a flash, a huge snake mouth swallowed towards him.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, the stone lion he was hiding behind was bitten off in one bite. Rocks splattered, and the blood basin mouth continued to open and close, biting down towards him.
He was terrified and desperate.
"I just escaped from the morgue, and now I'm going to die in a snake's mouth?!"
But just then, the giant snake's fangs suddenly stopped above his forehead, and a pair of scarlet eyes, bigger than red lanterns, looked at him, full of human-like doubt.
Zhang Ji was very puzzled.
He felt that this silver ring snake was somewhat familiar, and under the induction of bloodline, he also felt a bit of closeness.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Ji wrote on the ground with his wolf mouth and fangs, asking.
Zhang Youfu trembled in fear.
The other party was also a snake like him, but it had two heads, an oval king cobra head, and a white-eyed wolf king head, which were ferocious and hideous. Its huge body was looming in the mist, and it was unknown how many tens of meters long it was.
In the gaps between the snow-white, knife-like fangs, there were still animal flesh and blood residue, and between breaths, it spewed out bursts of stinky and foul wind.
Zhang Youfu trembled in fear, but he did not expect that the other party would actually write on the ground, asking himself who he was.
"This monster snake is psychic!"
Zhang Youfu was even more shocked.
He hurriedly wrote on the ground with his fangs: "I am Zhang Youfu, a good man!"
When Zhang Ji saw this, he was shocked.
This silver ring snake that he almost swallowed in one bite was actually his grandfather, Zhang Youfu.
But, wasn't Grandpa already dead?
His snake head was picked up by himself, and it was almost stir-fried with spicy snake head by his father, Zhang Zhishan.
He remembered this very clearly.
"Could it be, the same name and surname?" Zhang Ji was not sure, because the other party did give him a very kind and familiar feeling. This was bloodline induction, and there was no mistake.
He didn't dare to swallow the other party casually anymore, and looked up into the distance. With this delay, the giant, ferocious Suanni had already escaped without a trace.
"I'll let you live a few more days!"
Zhang Ji lowered his head, picked up the silver ring snake in his mouth, and quickly went to the wilderness in the suburbs.
Zhang Youfu trembled in fear, guessing whether this monster snake was going to take him back to feed the snake cubs?!
However, the other party coldly coiled up in the grass, without any movement.
The sky was slightly bright, and at seven o'clock, the red-haired rain stopped.
Zhang Ji's whole body felt numb, and he turned back into human form.
His body was even more burly and tall, reaching a height of two and a half meters. His arm muscles were like coiling dragons, and his two pectoral muscles were stronger than marble, full of strength. His eight abdominal muscles were smooth and beautiful.
He had no chest hair, and his black hair was casually draped over his shoulders.
His eyes were deep and terrifying, with the majesty of a wolf and the eerie horror of a king cobra, making people afraid to look directly at him.
If such an heroic and extraordinary man had been born in the Three Kingdoms era, he would definitely have been a first-class fierce general, and Zhang Fei would have had to retreat three times.
Opposite him.
The silver ring snake also wriggled for a while and turned into an old man, who was none other than Zhang Youfu.
He was white-haired and old, but he was energetic and stood up straight. He also had muscle lines on his body, but he was far inferior to Zhang Ji.
He saw that he had turned back into a human, and was surprised and excited.
He looked up at Zhang Ji opposite him, and said with some excitement and uncertainty: "So you also turned into a human... Eh? Are you... Zhang Ji?"
Zhang Youfu was a little unsure.
Zhang Ji's changes were too great, and his height and body were very different from before.
Zhang Ji smiled and said, "Grandpa, your grandson greets you!"
He was excited in his eyes. This silver ring snake was really Grandpa.
He secretly thought it was a close call. He didn't stir-fry Grandpa with spicy seasoning that day, but today he almost swallowed Grandpa in one gulp.
Fortunately, he hesitated just now and spared the snake's life, otherwise, it would have become a human tragedy of "grandson swallowing grandpa", which would have been truly unfilial!
"Zhang Ji, my grandson, it's really you!" Zhang Youfu was also very excited, and tears appeared in his old eyes.
He asked Zhang Ji what happened in Xichuan Town, and why he and Zhang Ji had turned into snakes.
Zhang Ji told him in detail about the events in Xichuan Town, including the strange mist sealing the city, the people collectively turning into their respective zodiac animals, and the strange forest sealing the road...
Zhang Youfu's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't recover for a long time. After a long time, he sighed.
"Alas, this is really a blessing in disguise. If I hadn't turned into a snake, your grandpa would probably be dead by now! With terminal lung cancer, how could I still be alive now?"
"People like me should actually thank the strange mist for giving me a second life."
Zhang Youfu's expression was complicated.
Zhang Ji nodded in agreement. This was indeed a great benefit of the strange mist.
Especially for the elderly and terminally ill patients, the strange mist's animalization fed back to the human body, giving them a second life.
He suddenly remembered the snake skin and snake head he had picked up in the hospital bed, and asked curiously. Zhang Youfu was stunned when he heard this, and thought:
"That should be from the old buddy in the same ward as me. He was also a snake."
Zhang Ji immediately understood the ins and outs of the matter.
"What about your father?! He's a Tiger. Did he turn into a Tiger?" Zhang Youfu suddenly asked expectantly.
Zhang Ji's expression darkened, and he told his grandfather about his father.
Zhang Youfu cried loudly, never expecting that he wouldn't even see his son's last face.
Zhang Ji comforted him, found clothes for the two of them to put on, and walked towards their home in town, instructing him on the way:
"Grandpa, if anyone asks what kind of snake I turned into, just say it's a silver-gold snake. Don't say it's a king cobra."
"Why?"
"Because the people in town are all crazy. They all want to eat me, to harm me."
Zhang Youfu blinked, and his mind recalled Zhang Ji's animalized appearance, a two-headed giant python, with fangs stained with blood, ferocious and terrifying, almost swallowing him in one bite.
Such a powerful and obedient grandson, and the people in town still want to eat him?
