Chapter 7 Do I Look Like a Human or a Snake_1

```

At the edge of the village path.

Yibai stared at the frozen scene, momentarily stunned.

In his haste, he hadn't noticed that these monsters were actually retreating.

He twisted his serpentine head, merely glancing over them.

When he saw those three humans, especially the one with a conspicuous knife wound on his knee, and the monsters behind them, he pondered thoughtfully.

'These monsters can use knives?'

Yibai was somewhat baffled.

But when he turned his head and looked at the dense green scales covering his serpentine body.

It would be quite difficult for swords to breach his defenses.

After all, he had now become a spirit, rightly deserving the title 'demon'.

A demon scared of swords and knives, would be preposterous.

Roar, roar, roar...

Yibai was still contemplating.

However, the apprehension in those dozens of monsters' eyes had already been drowned out by a bloodthirsty gleam, as they charged towards Yibai like mindless beasts, attacking him wildly.

They all sensed the vitality in Yibai's body, tens of times stronger than that of humans.

To them, it was an irresistible temptation.

Yibai didn't have time to think further.

He quickly surveyed the dozens of monsters.

In his eyes, a faint grey mist emanated from the bodies of these monsters.

It wasn't human aura, nor was it Monster Qi; it was an energy he had never seen before.

But regardless of the nature of this energy.

He had already come to a conclusion: these monsters were all the lowest first-tier.

Perhaps the previous him, before becoming a spirit, would have needed to keep a respectful distance when faced with the assault of so many monsters.

But now, he didn't need to retreat; he could just bulldoze through.

The entirety of Yibai's serpentine body coiled up, his snake head slightly raised, his vertical pupils coldly fixing on the dozens of incoming monsters.

As these monsters got within thirty meters.

Yibai sprung into action, charging ferociously at the monsters.

Boom!

With a thunderous noise.

Several monsters in the front line were sent flying.

A snake's attack is typically a sudden strike, either by venom or by constriction and ingestion.

But Yibai's serpentine body was too large.

It was so large that he needed only to accelerate forward, using his massive body to ram anything in his path.

Yibai wreaked havoc among the monsters.

These dozens of monsters had no way to handle Yibai.

All their attacks, landing on Yibai, only produced clinking sounds, unable to break his defense.

In a situation where the defense couldn't be broken.

Yibai was invincible.

After spending more than half an hour.

Yibai successfully hunted down these dozens of monsters.

Although he had become a spirit, he wasn't superhuman; his most powerful attack methods were to swipe with his tail or to bite fiercely with his fangs.

In this situation.

To deal with dozens of monsters, he can only rely on time, if he had supernatural methods, it wouldn't require so much time.

'First-tier monsters are no match for me, second-tier should also not be my opponents, third-tier is out of the question.'

Yibai now had a preliminary assessment of his own strength.

His cold pupils swept over the carnage on the field; then, he began to devour the carcasses of the monsters on the ground.

One...

Two...

Three...

...

Yibai had consumed the corpses of seven monsters before he felt a sense of satiety.

He turned his head to look at his belly, which had swelled up into a large bulge.

At the same time, he noticed something; his appetite had grown larger.

```

After becoming an enlightened being, every aspect of him had advanced significantly.

In the past, he could at most swallow five monsters, and those were just young ones.

But now, he could devour seven monsters, and they were fully grown ones at that.

Once Yibai felt full, he wanted to find a place to rest and digest the food in his stomach.

With his belly full, he felt an overwhelming sense of tiredness wash over him.

He did not doubt that at this moment, his combat abilities had been severely discounted.

Yibai was ready to leave.

He had just started to move.

Suddenly, he remembered something and looked back at the three humans.

The three had originally intended to play dead.

But now, suddenly under scrutiny, they exploded with fear, feeling the deathly stare of a giant snake upon them.

Witnessing the three terrified humans, a mischievous impulse arose within Yibai.

"Young man and women, do I look more like a human or a snake to you?"

Yibai's mouth opened and human speech came out.

His previous existence was human, so speaking the human tongue was not difficult for him.

Especially after becoming enlightened, it was even easier.

For a demon, the ability to speak human language first requires becoming enlightened, and after that, refining its throat bone, which would enable it to speak, although this also necessitated learning.

However, Yibai could skip the learning part.

"Ah???"

The three were dumbstruck, fear filling their eyes.

They were not stupid.

In their world, which used to be very ordinary before the descent of the Red Moon, how could they not have heard stories about demons seeking acknowledgment?

These interactions often occurred with a fully cultivated Weasel.

It is said that a fully cultivated Weasel would seek acknowledgment from people, and if you said it resembled a human, it would attain immortality, but your luck and lifespan would be reduced as the price for assisting its cultivation.

But if you said it resembled a Weasel, then the Weasel's cultivation would suffer, and it would not rest until it had exacted its revenge. The Weasel would definitely seek payback.

The three looked at the green snake blocking their path and felt their souls freeze with terror.

To answer was to die.

Not to answer was also to die.

The three started whining and nodding in agreement.

Yibai, seeing the three scared to such an extent, burst into glee, seemingly satisfying some mischievous inclination of his.

He had no real intention to kill the three humans, he just wanted to scare them a bit.

Having fulfilled his mischievous impulse, Yibai had no further intention of staying.

He contemplated for a moment and prepared to return to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The best place to digest was the deep pool in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Yibai's massive serpentine form blurred for a moment and then disappeared from the spot.

The three standing there watched Yibai vanish abruptly, panicking and looking all around, but they found no trace of Yibai…

…

Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Deep in the pool.

Yibai had returned to this place.

As soon as he was back, he felt a weight on his head, as if something was pressing down on him.

'This is really uncomfortable, Shi Gandang is too ruthless, had I known when I was still human, I shouldn't have urinated on it, now as a demon, I am facing Shi Gandang's retribution.'

'Wait a minute, something doesn't seem quite right?'

Yibai distinctly sensed something.

He lifted his serpentine head and glanced over at the water's surface.

The golden light was still emanating.

But he felt that something was different.

It was as if...

As if the suppression from Shi Gandang had lightened a great deal?

Why was that?

Yibai was confused…
