Chapter 1 Zhang Ji's Choice

This was the first time Zhang Ji had used the "Infinite Reproduction" talent of his third, heteromorphic, and ferocious head to release an alien seed.

The alien seed entered the mother wolf's abdomen through her mouth, fusing with the wolf pups awaiting birth. The pups trembled, their forms beginning to mutate and transform.

In an instant.

An extremely vigorous life force emanated from the mother wolf's abdomen, filled with boundless vitality, yet mixed with a sinister and cold aura.

Zhang Ji sensed this scene, a smile appearing in his scarlet vertical pupils.

"Child, you will be the most powerful Alien Predator. You will fight for me on the continent, devouring living things, releasing evil, and harvesting evolution points. So, welcome to this wonderful world..."

He released the dizzy mother wolf, dragging his massive body and quietly disappearing into the fog.

"Rustle, rustle~"

From the deep pit in the sinkhole, wolf guards emerged.

They were the queen's protectors, very brave and valiant giant wolves of the Black Wolf tribe. Seeing the bloody scene outside the sinkhole, the dismembered remains left after being devoured everywhere, they were all terrified.

The queen lay on the ground, her life or death unknown.

The wolf guard captain, Tuo Ye, bent down to check and hurriedly said, "Quick, the queen is still alive! Take her to a safe place."

Just then, a giant wolf cautiously ran over from the fog and whispered, "The high priest and the others are in the forest. Follow me."

"Why not return to the sinkhole?"

"The tribe leader is seriously injured, and half of the Holy Teacher's body was eaten by that giant python. They need treatment. Fortunately, there was an ancestral artifact to block it, otherwise we would all be dead by now."

They whispered, peering into the surrounding fog with fearful eyes, then quickly left with the unconscious queen, Kexiya.

A moment later.

The fog surged, and three giant, ferocious heads materialized, glancing in the direction the giant wolves had fled, but did not pursue.

"The newly born alien needs nourishment to grow quickly. Child, this is my gift to you."

Zhang Ji dragged his snake body towards the wilderness. On the way, he encountered a half-crippled giant wolf, crawling with half its body. Sensing the movement behind it, it hurriedly lay prone, pretending to be dead, not moving at all.

"Hoo!"

Zhang Ji swallowed it in one gulp. Remnant blood and heads could not be wasted; they were all evolution points.

The metallic voice in his mind sounded...

"Evolution points +200000, 2.69 billion/1 billion"

"The conditions for the tenth evolution have been met. Do you want to evolve immediately?"

A smile appeared in Zhang Ji's eyes. This time, nearly ten thousand giant wolves had come. Each giant wolf had at least 200,000 evolution points. He had devoured most of them, harvesting a large number of evolution points. It was a great harvest.

"The quality of imported living things is really high!"

"If it were in Xichuan Town, I don't know how many years it would take to get so many evolution points!" Zhang Ji sighed inwardly, while also filled with curiosity about the Great Wilderness where these giant wolves were located.

"The Great Wilderness, what kind of place is it?"

"When I have the strength to be unafraid of the sinkhole, I must explore that Great Wilderness."

"But now, it's time to evolve. After a level nine beast, comes an ancient beast!"

Zhang Ji's eyes shone brightly.

Ancient beasts and fierce beasts were two different levels of creatures. If the evolution of fierce beasts was a quantitative change, then advancing from a fierce beast to an ancient beast was a qualitative change in evolution, a leap in life, a threshold for moving towards extraordinary species.

He was currently able to fight against the power of an ancient beast with the body of a level nine fierce beast. If he advanced to an ancient beast…

"Roar—"

Zhang Ji's three heads roared together, the sound like thunder, excited and expectant. He didn't know what he would become after this evolution, but he had a strong feeling.

After advancing to an ancient beast, his strength would definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.

He turned his head to look at his snake body.

Some of the blood-red back scales had fallen off, and there was a scorched scar that went deep into the flesh, constantly corroding it, interwoven with strange energy, leaving behind a terrifying aura.

This was the mark left by the black-robed high priest using an ancestral artifact.

"Ancestral artifact, what level of weapon does it belong to, that it can actually break through my scales!"

Zhang Ji pondered.

After his ninth evolution, his scales could not be broken even by missiles, but he was injured by an ancestral artifact. It could be seen how terrible the killing power of that ancestral artifact was.

"I still have to evolve. I want to become an ancient beast. I want to become stronger."

Whoosh~

Raising a gust of bloody wind, Zhang Ji disappeared into the fog.

At the same time.

In a corner of the ruins of Xichuan Town, many human beast-transformed mutated monsters and beasts gathered together, all looking towards the direction of the sinkhole, their eyes filled with worry.

"More foreign giant wolves have come to the sinkhole. The sound is louder than last time."

"Yes, it's too scary. Fortunately, we in Xichuan Town have a ferocious king cobra, otherwise we would be dead this time!"

"But this time the wolf pack is coming fiercely. Can the king cobra withstand it?"

"It should be able to, I’m saying this in an unpleasant way, our Xichuan Town, including us people, I’m afraid that we have already been regarded as its territory by that king cobra. The king cobra's territorial awareness is very strong. It will devour and kill all living things that invade."

People talked, but their eyes were full of worry.

They hated the king cobra, hated its brutality, bloodthirstiness, and ruthless devouring of their relatives, but at this moment they were silently praying in their hearts, hoping that it would be stronger and block the foreign enemies.

"With the king cobra, although we live in fear every day, we still have a chance to survive. But without the king cobra, that group of giant wolves would definitely kill us all."

Everyone's mood was complicated.

Just then, a blood-red-haired rat jumped from the ruins, its body fifteen meters tall, running like a giant beast, its eyes excited, but also with some fear and disbelief.

"Everyone, I risked my life to go to the sinkhole. It has become a sea of blood and hell."

"Guess what I saw?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, the blood-haired rat excitedly gesticulated, "The king cobra is too terrifying, three heads, three mouths, swallowing and killing, blood splattering, and its tail sweeping across from time to time, directly crushing the wolves."

"It's so domineering, so strong, it's simply a massacre!"

"Most of the giant wolves that came out of the sinkhole were swallowed by the king cobra, but a black-robed guy was very strong, holding a skeleton staff and a glowing thing, hitting the king cobra's body. After a dozen hits, he broke through the snake scales, and escaped into the misty forest."

When everyone heard this, they roared with excitement. Cow moans, tiger roars, sheep bleats... echoed together.

"The king cobra really didn't disappoint me!"

"Hahaha, it's still so fierce, powerful, and bloodthirsty. But I freaking love it!"

"By the way, you just said that the king cobra was injured. How badly was it injured?"

Everyone discussed for a while, and suddenly someone asked back.

It wasn't that they suddenly cared about the king cobra, but there were still some enemies who had not died.

The blood-haired rat gesticulated, "Don't worry, the king cobra is fine. It went to find a place to heal."

After speaking, its eyeballs rolled, and it suddenly took out a stack of newspapers from behind it, giving each of the surrounding beasts and monsters one.

The newspaper had a picture of a king cobra, fighting a group of giant tigers in front of the Tiger Manifestation Stele, with the following text:

"Some say it's evil, some say it's ferocious, but I say it's the guardian of our Xichuan Town!"

There was also a picture of the king cobra coiled up in the deep of night, tears in its eyes, but with a large living person in its mouth, eating and crying. The text next to it read:

"Do you think I'm happy eating meat? No, in fact, my heart is bleeding, and tears are flowing from my eyes!"

There was also a picture of the king cobra covered in wounds, its body covered in blood, but its eyes were tired yet determined, fighting a group of wolves, and behind it was Xichuan Town, with countless people with terrified eyes.

The expressions and scenes were lifelike, obviously from the hand of a master.

The text below read: "Look at the essence through the phenomenon, and you will find a different king cobra. It is the cutest snake!"

Various pictures, various captions.

At the end of the newspaper, a line of words was marked in blood-red letters:

"Great King Cobra, you have worked hard. As long as the people of Xichuan Town each contribute a little meat to make the King Cobra stronger, our Xichuan Town will have a bright tomorrow and future!"

People looked at the pictures and text on the newspaper, stunned for a moment.

They never expected that someone would painstakingly try to whitewash the king cobra.

What kind of brain-dead idea was this?

Immediately, someone cursed and angrily tore up the newspaper.

But some people were silent, looking in the direction of the sinkhole, a look of contemplation appearing in their eyes.

"Don't say it, but it does make some sense..."

The blood-haired rat quietly retreated. At the corner, Liu Youshan and Gao Xin of the Rat Gang greeted him and smiled, gesturing, "Well done, A-San."

"If Snake Master comes back and sees these newspapers, he will definitely be beaming with joy. Your contribution is great."

Gao Xin hurriedly respectfully gesticulated, "This is all thanks to the gang leader. We are just adding flowers to the brocade!"

Liu Youshan pointed at Gao Xin with his rat claw, a satisfied smile on his face.

Deep in the Misty Forest.

Wolf shadows moved, patrolling and guarding the area, their eyes vigilant.

And in the middle position, many large trees had been forcibly pushed down, gathered together, and the dense leaves were laid on the ground, becoming a temporary wolf den.

Inside the wolf den.

Queen Kexiya was giving birth, howling in pain. Her abdomen was bulging, and it could be clearly seen that there were living things moving inside, constantly impacting her belly, wanting to come out.

The Black Wolf tribe leader, Kesa, who had lost a leg, disregarded his injuries, held Kexiya's paw with his wolf claw, kissed her brow, constantly comforting and encouraging her, his eyes full of worry.

"High Priest, quickly, find a way to deliver my wolf pup!"

He turned his head to urge the black-robed high priest behind him.

However.

The black-robed high priest was trembling, his maggot-filled eye sockets looking at the birthing mother wolf Kexiya, his flesh-rotted face full of horror.

"This is an evil seed, not a royal seed. Kill it, don't let it be born, absolutely not, otherwise the entire Great Wilderness will face a sea of blood and disaster!"

Whoosh~

He raised the skull staff in his hand, his killing intent fierce.
