Chapter 83 Subduing the Black King Serpent
The black king snake naturally moves in a serpentine pattern, its slender body twisting and turning along the ground as it moves forward.
Fortunately, the first half of its crawling motion was relatively stable, preventing the old man from swaying from side to side.
Cang Nian's long-term training had given him a good sense of balance, so he only needed a little time to adapt before he could stand steadily on the black king snake's back, which was about thirty centimeters long.
Cang Nian could feel the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the tough muscles as his claws made contact with the opponent's back.
The Black King Serpent is also quite fast, reaching speeds of around 15 kilometers per hour when carrying Cang Nian.
This may not seem impressive, but it's clearly not the Black King Serpent's instantaneous burst speed. Being able to maintain this speed for a long time is quite remarkable.
Cang Nian discovered that this black king snake was quite intelligent!
Although he wasn't as adept at using military strategy as he had previously misunderstood.
But it actually actively observes the "road" ahead and chooses routes that ensure Cangnian won't get caught on bushes or branches, so Cangnian doesn't need to dodge anything along the way.
Clearly, it is not only designed to make Cangnian as comfortable as possible, but also has an excellent sense of space, accurately determining where to pass without bumping into Cangnian.
Ouch~!
Just as Cangnian was enjoying riding the snake, he heard Tiger Brother's bark from behind.
Tiger Dad and Tiger Brother were seen chasing after them from behind.
Tiger Dad is fine. He's already quite fast, and as his evolution progresses, even though his stamina isn't great, he can still keep up with Black King Serpent's speed without much trouble.
But this made things difficult for Tiger Brother.
This speed would require Tiger to run at near-maximum speed to keep up!
"Ow~!"
Seeing this, Cangnian quickly called out to stop the black king snake.
Sure enough, the big guy could understand the meaning in his shouts. With Cangnian's command, it gradually slowed down and stopped.
huh... huh...
After a while, Tiger Brother caught up with Tiger Dad.
Once he caught his breath, Tiger Brother's eyes lit up as he looked at the Black King Snake.
This is good!
With this big guy, I can patrol the territory with my brother and father without having to walk by myself!
Although Tiger was quite frightened when he first saw the black king snake, which was nearly ten meters long and thirty centimeters wide.
But since my brother has already subdued it, there's nothing to be afraid of!
Tiger Brother believed that Black King Snake was afraid of Cangnian because Cangnian had beaten him with his claws, which was why he was allowed to ride it.
Tiger Brother empathized with this.
She was terrified of being beaten by her older brother.
Ouch~!
Without hesitation, Tiger Brother excitedly barked at Cangnian, indicating that he also wanted to ride the Black King Serpent.
But before Cang Nian could answer, the Black King Snake coiled up and raised its head.
Clearly, it didn't want its younger brother to ride it.
The old man left his prey to feed it, and only then did the animal feel grateful to him and become willing to let him ride it.
Tiger Brother did nothing, so why should he be allowed to ride?
Since the black king snake couldn't express its intentions with its calls, seeing the black king snake's posture, the tiger father thought that this big guy was about to attack his younger brother.
It immediately stepped forward, its claws already raised, ready to strike and teach this dark creature a lesson.
"Ouch~!"
Seeing this, Cangnian quickly stepped in and explained the whole story to Tiger Dad.
It took Tiger Dad a while to realize that this big guy had followed them from their original territory.
Because Cangnian constantly hunted small prey and threw away what he couldn't finish eating, thus feeding this big guy, the big guy had a strong sense of goodwill towards Cangnian.
At the same time, Cangnian also told Tiger Dad that he wanted to raise this black king snake.
On the one hand, he needs to constantly improve his slaughter skill proficiency, but a tiger's appetite is limited, and it would be a waste to hunt and not eat the prey. Keeping the black king snake can serve as a "garbage can".
The result of carelessly discarding it was the growth of this huge creature.
This served as a wake-up call for Cang Nian.
In a world where evolution has already occurred, ample food will accelerate the growth of body size.
For my family, since we are tigers, animals with inherent size limitations, our growth doesn't seem significant.
Wild boars and black king snakes are animals without obvious size limitations; they can grow large as long as there is plenty of food.
Evolution has made this effect even more pronounced, to the point that when the Black King Serpent was in the Cangnian family's original territory, it was only ten centimeters wide, but after more than half a month, it is now thirty centimeters wide.
He didn't know if there were any other evolved creatures like the Black King Serpent lurking in this jungle.
If so, wouldn't the act of hunting and then discarding the prey while patrolling one's territory inadvertently cultivate other evolved creatures?
Now, this black king snake is completely obedient to him, making it a rather ideal "little brother".
Of course, Cang Nian is not a professional and cannot determine whether a black king snake is male or female...
In any case, such a black king cobra is undoubtedly a more ideal choice for a subordinate beast than a cunning and ruthless wild boar.
Moreover, its strength must be considerable, making it a valuable asset in an environment where all living things are likely to evolve.
Incidentally, it also fulfills a small wish I had in my past life to raise a black king snake.
The black king cobra, nearly ten meters long, is infinitely more impressive than those tiny spicy snacks that are as thick as a finger!
Ouch~!
After patiently listening to Cang Nian's explanation, Tiger Dad nodded.
The little guy is so smart, he must have his reasons for doing this!
However, Tiger Dad didn't forget to remind Cangnian to be careful of this big guy!
After all, in terms of pure strength, Cangnian is clearly no match for a behemoth like the Black King Serpent.
If this guy gains the little one's trust and launches a sneak attack, it will be very dangerous!
After listening to Tiger Dad's instructions, Cangnian nodded seriously.
He was not blinded by the Black King Serpent's race, the serpent of his dreams; he still had to remain vigilant.
But the benefits of winning them over far outweigh the risks involved!
hiss~!
The black king snake understood the meaning behind Cang Nian's cries and was overjoyed. It raised its head and gently rubbed against Cang Nian's body.
Its movements were very gentle, a result of extreme caution given its massive size.
It's found a new owner!
I won't go hungry anymore!
It knew Cangnian quite well, knowing that Cangnian's hunting ability was extremely powerful, and that it was always accurate!
"Raising snakes is great in every way, except that snakes have very low intelligence and there's not much interaction with them."
But now evolution has greatly enhanced its intelligence; with its handsome appearance and perfect interactivity, is there a better pet?
Feeling the Black King Serpent's affectionate gestures, Cang Nian rubbed against it, enjoying the cool, icy touch of its scales!
