Chapter 82 The Snake Knight
Bang~!
[Ding! Scratching skill proficiency +1! (1001/10000)]
Sensing the Black King Serpent's intention, Cang Nian didn't hesitate and slapped its big head with his claw!
Cangnian didn't expect to cause it any harm, given the vast difference in size.
However, it's still possible to use your speed to test the opponent's strength.
However, this guy's head is really hard. Slapping it feels like hitting a bluestone. It doesn't feel as good as Tiger Brother's chubby fur and paw pads, which makes Cang Nian's claws hurt.
With a successful strike, Cang Nian immediately jumped away, giving his opponent no chance to retaliate.
But after Cang Nian slapped the black king snake, it immediately shrank its head, coiled its body, and stared at Cang Nian with its eyes as black as the night sky.
Cang Nian actually saw incomprehension and grievance in its eyes.
"I must be hallucinating. It must be my biased view of my beloved black king snake..."
Cang Nian shook his head, banishing the bizarre guess from his mind.
Although Cang Nian had never kept a black king snake in his previous life, the black king snake's stunning appearance had completely captivated him.
But the guy in front of me is the one who's been following my family all this way, and he's got ulterior motives!
No matter how much you like this species of snake, you can't joke about the safety of your own family.
"Hmph! Since you're pretending to be wronged with me, don't blame me for being impolite."
Cang Nian sneered inwardly.
Immediately, he stepped forward again and slapped the black king snake on the head with his claw!
To his surprise, the guy neither dodged nor evaded, but took his attack head-on.
This made Cangnian feel looked down upon, so its claw attacks became increasingly fierce!
Dang Dang Dang~!
Time and again, the old man's claws slapped against the black king snake's head, like drumming.
But the black king snake didn't flinch at all.
Ouch~!
Seeing Cangnian subduing the enormous black king snake, Tiger Brother on the tree forgot Cangnian's instruction to remain silent and let out an excited cry.
Seemingly sensing Tiger Brother's voice, Black King Snake raised its head and looked up at the tree.
Seeing this, Cangnian cursed Tiger Brother in his heart while attacking the Black King Snake with his claws to prevent it from attacking Tiger Brother.
But after patting it a few more times, Cang Nian realized that the guy was still lying motionless on the ground, showing no sign of moving.
Tiger Brother's cries made Tiger Father realize that he had also been exposed, so he climbed down from the tree.
Seeing this, the black king snake shrank its neck slightly in fear, but when it saw Cang Nian's claws coming down, it stretched out its head again so that Cang Nian could hit it!
Even the tiger dad, who had just come down from the house, was stunned.
Why are there animals that eagerly seek to be beaten?
"What's wrong with this guy? If his previous actions were all a way of manipulating and deceiving me, then..."
Now that the tiger dad has appeared, it should feel scared and want to run away, right?
It's not poisonous, and its size makes it no match for Tiger Dad.
Now, Cangnian was also puzzled.
However, upon closer inspection, Cang Nian suddenly noticed that the black king snake's body was trembling slightly.
"It wasn't that it was confident enough to face its tiger father; it was still quite afraid of him. So why didn't it run away?"
Upon realizing this, Cangnian felt even more doubts arise in his mind.
But then, an absurd guess surfaced in Cangnian's mind.
"No way……"
This conjecture is too far-fetched, but all the phenomena point to it.
So, Cangnian tentatively raised its paw.
This time, his claws didn't fall directly, but hovered in mid-air.
Realizing that Cangnian hadn't slapped down with his claws, the Black King Snake stretched its head forward, as if to make it easier for Cangnian.
This startled Cang Nian, who then became even bolder, slowly moving his claws toward the Black King Serpent's head.
Ouch~!
Tiger Dad, seeing Cangnian's actions, quickly reminded him.
Snakes are terrifying!
You'll die if you get bitten!
Tiger Dad, who was unaware that the black king snake was not venomous, was very worried about Cangnian.
"Ow~!"
Cangnian said he knew his limits when it came to Tiger Dad's concerns.
His claws slowly moved closer to the black king snake's head.
The Black King Serpent noticed Cangnian's movements and waited quietly.
But when the old man's claws were very close, it couldn't help but excitedly reach forward.
hiss~!
The black king cobra's tongue swept rapidly across Cang Nian's claws, as if trying to memorize Cang Nian's scent.
But it never opened its mouth to attack Cang Nian.
Seeing this, Cang Nian became even bolder.
His claws landed on the top of the black king snake's head.
However, this time it wasn't a quick slap, but a swift retraction.
Instead, place it gently on top.
hiss~!
Sensing Cangnian's kind gesture, the black king snake gently shook its large head, rubbing its scales against Cangnian's claws, just like a cat or dog being patted on the head by its owner.
"I was absolutely right... it really likes me, even to the point of being grateful."
Did it know that the food I found on the road was all hunted by me?
By the way, the black king snake is not a native species; it is 100% a pet kept by humans and may not even have the ability to hunt in the wild.
So, it's possible that it grew bigger and bigger as it evolved, and its owner abandoned it out of fear or because there was no suitable live food to feed it.
In the wild, black king snakes, which lack the ability to hunt on their own, may have gone hungry for a long time.
Only after meeting me did it get its first meal of meat after being abandoned, and later it migrated with my family to this new habitat.
I kept hunting small prey along the way, so it ate them the whole way.
So, in a way, I fed it instead of letting it starve to death, which is why it felt grateful to me.
That's why its first reaction upon seeing me wasn't to attack or run away, but to spit out the groundhog and push it towards me.
It thought this prey was something it still wanted, not something it had thrown away.
So no matter how I hit it, it won't fight back, and it might even stretch out its head so I can hit it more easily?
After confirming the Black King Serpent's friendliness towards him, Cangnian pieced together all the strange circumstances.
Huh?!
Meanwhile, the tiger dad standing to the side was utterly astonished!
The little cub actually touched the big snake with its paw!
Moreover, this big snake didn't bite the little ones!
At this moment, Tiger Brother also came down from the tree, but he was timid and a little afraid of the black king snake. He huddled behind Tiger Dad and observed curiously.
Cang Nian is more than 90% certain that the Black King Serpent has become even bolder after showing him kindness.
He climbed directly onto the black king snake's rather broad back.
The black king snake didn't move around much, and even controlled its ribs to expand, making it wider.
"Ow~!"
Cang Nian shouted excitedly, urging the black king snake to crawl forward!
Shasha~!
In reality, Cangnian was just fantasizing about having a go at it and didn't really expect the Black King Snake to understand his cries.
But to everyone's surprise, as soon as he gave the order, the black king snake actually started moving on the ground of the jungle!
