https://www.webnovel.com/book/qt-don't-believe-in-fate-(bl)_19716791906167305

Betrayed by her entire family, Tang Yue, the seventh princess of the snake clan, was betrothed to the tyrannical Elven prince, who is known for his blood lust and cold-blooded murders.

He is even rumored to have killed several concubines mercilessly.

Deemed as a piece of useless baggage and now tossed aside as a political chip, Tang Yue braved herself for the new torturous life that awaited her.

As if this was not enough, someone mysteriously poisoned her in the betrothal ceremony.

But akin to a slap in the face, that poison actually turned around Tang Yue’s pathetic life!!

Poisonous fruits? Sure give me some. I need to snack anyways.

Deadly toxin? Sure. My throat is a bit parched.

Heh. Now you want to actually cut me down? Sure. You just have to slash past this thick skin!

The lowly beast that had invoked its innate ability to evolve silently resolved to conquer the heavens. And of course, she had a master... ahem... system to help her along the way!

Chapter Length: ~2000 words

“Light! There’s a light ahead!”

A guard walking in the vanguard shouted.

Leylin took a look. Indeed, the far end of the tunnel was radiating light.

“Enter!” Jackson gripped his large sword with both hands and was the first to rush in.

The rest followed suit.

Light! Eye-piercing light radiated downwards from above!

Leylin’s eyes were stinging — tears flowed down uncontrollably. He immediately used his hand to cover his eyes.

“Argh!” “Monster!” “Be careful!”

Various shouts resounded, and weapons were brandished.



On the screen, a talon the size of a palm was clawing towards Leylin.

Leylin hurriedly retreated a step and crouched to dodge the attack.

Amidst the wails all around, Jackson’s faint howling could be heard.

After the A.I. Chip’s scan, Leylin could see that many lizard-like creatures were making use of their familiarity with the geography to attempt a massacre of Jackson and the squad of guards around him.

The sneak attack was so quick that when Jackson and the rest finally reacted, the whole squad already suffered heavy casualties.

As Leylin swept his gaze across the scene before him and his eyes finally adjusted to the bright light. He realised that the floor was already littered with corpses. Many of them had traces of having been chewed on by these strange creatures.

At that moment, only the 2 Knight level squad leaders and the grey robed figure, who always followed behind Jackson, were all that remained of the group with Jackson.

As for the acolytes, one had fallen to the ground and another had a large wound on his abdomen that was oozing blood.

At the apex of the cave, white-coloured jellyfish-like creatures were floating. The flash from earlier had radiated from their bodies.

“The surge of light radiated from these jellyfish could actually increase instantaneously and produce an effect similar to a flashbang grenade. The coordination demonstrated by these strange creatures that caused several deaths and injuries definitely hinted at some intelligence controlling them from behind the scenes!”

After light burst from the jellyfish, they seemed to have become a little dispirited as they floated around in the air. Although there was still some light emanating from their bodies, it was not piercing to the eyes. It seemed like the flash from earlier was a one time attack.

“This is a Flash Jellyfish, a kind of subterranean creature. Their earlier attack can only be used once. They need a day of rest before emitting such an intense burst of light again!”

Murphy appeared, clutching a book to his chest.

“What we need to deal with are not these parasitic organisms, but that fellow in the middle!” Leylin pointed to the centre of the cave, and smiled bitterly.

Leylin and the rest entered a large underground cave earlier, where the ceiling was littered with stalactites and Flash Jellyfish, which allowed them a panoramic view of the interior.

At this moment, in the cave, there were many mutated, yet familiar creatures. There were lizards, brown bears, and elks, all numbering over a dozen. At the centre most of them all, there was an enormous yellow snake that seemed to be the king, as it was guarded by the other creatures.

“It’s Mankestre – Great Withering Snake Mankestre!” Murphy’s book fell from his hands to the floor, letting off a bang.

“A.I. Chip, scan!” Leylin instructed.

The A.I. Chip delivered the information immediately in front of Leylin.

“Half-adult body? It doesn’t seem to be at its adult stage!” Leylin first heaved a breath of relief, before shouting out loud, “Murphy, don’t be fooled by its appearance. This is but a non-adult Mankestre. We still have a chance!”

“Indeed!” Murphy scrutinised the brown yellow colour of the huge snake and finally recovered from his fright, “An adult Mankestre is at least 100 metres long, and this snake is obviously not of that length yet. A number of parasites that it produces is also not right!”

“This huge snake is the cause of the withering woods?” Jackson asked at the side while staring at the huge snake as his Adam’s apple moved.

“That’s right! A Mankestre uses the juice of plants as their food. They are rather crafty and lazy, and also hate to move about. Basically, it uses the parasites to gather food for itself!”

Murphy, who had bountiful experience and wisdom, was extremely aware of the habits of the huge Mankestre Snake.

“So then, if we kill it, the herb production in Dark Night Woods can recover again?” Jackson used his long sword and pointed at the huge yellow snake that was protected by its parasitic mutated creatures.

“In theory, it should be the case as long as you kill it or drive it away. Although its death cannot revive the withering woods, it can still allow the prey and woods to slowly recover back to what it once was!”

Murphy smiled wryly.

* Hiss! * The snake coiled in the centre of the cave hissed, and let off a low, snake-like speech.

It was a kind of sound made by the friction of rubbing two pieces rotten leather together, which was extremely unpleasant to the ears.

The creatures surrounding Leylin and the rest seemed to have received orders, and howled as they charged forward!

Leylin casually took a look, “There are too many creatures, and the parent body is not yet dealt with, I must conserve my magic power!”

“A.I. Chip! Simulate the most optimal method of attack!”

Leylin pulled out his cross blade.



Leylin’s feet moved as he dodged a brown bear’s attack. The cross blade in his right hand drew a strange trajectory, and deflected the paw of the bear, and directly pierced through its skull.

* Bang! * The huge brown corpse of the bear fell to the ground, and even the Mankestre Snake had taken notice, looking at Leylin.

Leylin’s scalp tingled, as he hurriedly kept his distance.

“Nicely done!” Jackson shouted in admiration. His body seemed to turn into a gust of wind, and continuously ravaged the mob of creatures, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

“It seems that Jackson has ignited the secret Knight technique! His technique should be enhancing his agility ”

The few acolytes also casted their rank 0 spells that they had prepared and assisted in killing these creatures.

Leylin only took a look and did not bother about them anymore.

* Sssii! *The corpse of the brown bear that Leylin had killed rapidly decomposed. From the bones, many veins appeared, which turned into the creature that Leylin and the rest had been chasing earlier. The creature then climbed into the Mankestre’s mouth.

The Mankestre Snake opened its mouth and revealed rows of razor sharp teeth. Its tongue coiled, as it swallowed the strange red veined creature into its belly.

“Retrieving its parasite huh?” Leylin was rather shocked.

After swallowing the parasite, the Mankestre Snake finally uncoiled and looked at Leylin and the group, who were unrestrainedly slaughtering the creatures. Its crimson eyes showed signs of rage.

* Bang! * The huge body of the snake shot out, and the entire cave trembled violently.

The huge Mankestre Snake’s body moved at an alarming speed, charging towards Jackson.

“It’s too quick! With an agility of 6.5, I can only see its afterimage ” Leylin rapidly retreated, and at the same time, he used the cross blade to block his chest.

A surge of immense force came rushing over, and the cross blade that Leylin held onto flew in the air, completely broken .

“Such a strong force, and it’s only a casual swipe!” Leylin’s pupils constricted.

The Mankestre Snake opened its jaws wide, and its razor sharp teeth snapped at Jackson, bringing about a fish-like smell. If Jackson were to be caught, he would definitely die without a corpse left.

“Sir!” The remaining two Knights and the grey robed person shouted.

“Hah! Good try!” At the brink of death, Jackson finally released all of his internal energy, and the sword pierced at the crown of the snake with a speed that was hard to track by eye.

The sword, however, only left a white spot on the scales of the snake. As for Jackson, he used the force to rebound, and twisted his waist, evading the snap of the snake’s jaw.

“Protect our Lord!” The two Knights rushed forward. The Mankestre Snake let out a ferocious roar, and directly gobbled the two Knights into its belly.

“Secondary Fireball!”

“Acidic Aqua Shot”

At this moment, the other acolytes also cast their spells, striking the body of the huge snake.

* Bang! * A black arrow with a yellow flame exploded from the body of the huge snake, revealing two scorched holes/wounds/gashes.

The huge snake let off a roar, which carried a tinge of agony. Its scales shook, and it sent its tail flying towards the few acolytes.

“The vitality of the snake is too high, any normal rank 0 spells would not be able to affect its movement at all!”

The huge snake swatted its tail, and a few acolytes who were unable to dodge in time were turned into meat pancakes, and blood oozed from beneath the snake’s body.

“No! Decker! Lancer!” Murphy cried hoarsely in anguish.

“There’s no choice, we have to retreat first!” The few remaining people huddled together, when the grey robed figure behind Jackson spoke in a deep growl.

“No! This damned worm dared to kill Decker and the rest! I will definitely not let it go!” Murphy’s eyes were rather bloodshot.

“I have a spell that can temporarily restrict its movements, the rest will be up to you guys.”

Murphy stepped forward, placed the monocle that he always carried in his hand, and tossed it towards the huge snake.

* Bang! * The glass shattered on the huge snake, and many dark red runes suddenly surfaced.

The dark red runes multiplied, and turned into the shape of a long chain, binding the snake within it.

“What a powerful restraining spell!” Leylin’s eyes flashed, “It will not be able to move for at least half a minute, so use whatever methods you guys have in that time.”


Leylin is transported from an advanced technological era into a medieval world— except there’s magic. Equipped with only his quick wits and an A.I. chip fused to his soul, he sets out to become the most powerful magus the world has ever known. In a land divided into the Light and Dark Magi, the weak can either be cattle or disposable slaves. Only the strong can determine their lives, and only they have the luxury for virtue. Yet strength is only a tool for Leylin, like any other. His goal, in the end, is his own.

Translator’s desc:
What happens when a scientist from a futuristic world reincarnates in a World of Magic and Knights?

An awesome MC — that’s what happens!

A scientist’s goal is to explore the secrets of the universe, and this is exactly what Leylin sets out to do when he is reincarnated. Dark, cold and calculating, he makes use of all his resources as he sets off on his adventures to meet his goal.

Face? Who needs that… Hmmm… that guy seems too powerful for me to take on now… I better keep a low profile for now.

You want me to help you? Sure… but what benefit can I get out of it? Nothing? Bye. 

Hmmm… that guy looks like he might cause me problems in the future. Should I let him off for now and let him grow into someone that can threaten me….. Nahhh. *kill*

Josiah decided to set off as soon as the sun rose, to save time and complete the quest quickly. 
He stopped by at the License building and was surprised to see that it was full, everyone had gathered there. It was so packed, he had to squeeze his way to the front. When he reached the front, Tina greeted him with a smile. "How was your first night here?" 
"It was better than sleeping in the wild, that's for sure." Josiah questioned Tina, "Why's everyone here?"
"They're here for you, Josiah. Noone has attempted the quest you chose in almost two years." She explained. 
Josiah chuckled nervously, "You didn't tell me that when I chose it. Maybe I am going over my head." Josiah turned around and everyone had their eyes on him. As if they were expecting something. 
He whispered to Tina. "What are they waiting for?"
Time whispered back, "The last person gave a speech before he departed."
A speech? He hadn't spoken to the public in so long, he didn't want to. Josiah sighed and faced the crowd. Now that he thought about this a little more, he might not come back. A speech wouldn't be such a bad thing. Only if he was good at that. He cleared his throat, "I don't know what to say. Wish me luck?" Josiah was nervous for the first time in a while.
He was half expecting people to laugh and wave him off, but they all broke out into cheers and yells. Some came around and patted him on the back, actually wishing him luck. A few people wanted him to join them for drinks and chat, but he explained that he wanted to leave as soon as possible. They were understanding and he promised he'd join them when he got back. He might as well leave the town on good footing.
Before he exited, he faced the crowd and threw his fist in the air. "I'll buy you all a round at the pub when I come back!" Everyone erupted into louder cheers as he left for his quest, leaving the townspeople in a good mood.
He took one last look at the town before departing. Who knows how long this might take or if he'll make it back in one piece. He didn't know what lay ahead, but he looked forward to it regardless. 
Tina told him to stay on the roads that parted right until he came to a large crevice, which should take him about three hours until he reached a caravan that would take him as far as it was able towards the Sun Cavern Ledge. Once there, he would need to travel on foot for about two more hours and he'll know the destination once he sees it. 
As he walked the roads, he finally had a little bit of time to himself. He was still a little sore from the absorbed Orbs from last night, but it didn't bother him too much. He should be fine by the time he gets to his destination. 
As he passed multiple roads, the scenery began to change. The grass turned into barren earth full of rocks, the trees lost their inviting and lively appearance and became dead, and the mountain only came closer. The clouds also became thicker, casting dark spots. In the distance, the breaks in the sky slowly disappeared. The weather might not be as welcoming, but that only added all the more excitement to this expedition. It wouldn't be any fun if everything went according to how you wanted it to. A challenge once in a while keeps you on your toes, and Josiah wouldn't have it any other way.
Like Tina had said, a little over three hours passed and he came upon the caravan. The color scheme was a pattern of red and orange. The husk was red, but it looked faded after so many years. The underside was meant to be orange, but looked more dark brown than anything. As he got closer, he noticed that the driver seat was empty, and there were no horses to be seen. 
Weird. 
He came up to the caravan and looked around. It looked worn down, but when he pressed against the frame, it was surprisingly sturdy. The large wooden wheels were sunk into the ground about an inch. It hadn't moved in a while. Besides the missing horses, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the caravan. He decided to look inside. 
When he reached for the handle to open the door, it swung out and an old man stumbled out. Josiah moved out of the way as the man fell to the ground. He had a glass bottle in his hand and smelled of alcohol. He was gonna give him a ride? For one, he was drunk and second, there were no horses. Josiah decided to risk it anyways. He had trust in Tina. 
He bent over and picked the man up, leaning him against one of the wheels. He was dressed in a similar fashion as Josiah, except he had on a fur coat. He had brown hair that fell to his shoulders and some over his eyes. A goatee adorned his face. His eyes were closed, but he wasn't asleep. He gave him a slight shake, "Excuse me? You awake?"
The man's eyes flung open and he burst to his feet. "Beware-hick-the mountains wi-hick-eat you!" The man turned around and looked at Josiah, his eyes coming in and out of focus. "Who...are you..." He was slurring his words, but Josiah understood the gist of them.
"I'm here on a quest. I was told that you, rather this caravan, will be able to take me to Sun Cavern Ledge." Josiah explained.
The man stood up straight for a few seconds and fell backwards on the ground with a thud. He started mumbling to himself. "...devil's eggs...slumbering on the edge...more beer…" He tossed the bottle he had in his hand and it shattered against the caravan.
Josiah sighed. He wasn't gonna get anywhere at this rate. And he didn't want to leave this sad man here, especially in this condition. Disgruntled, he picked the man up and placed him back in the caravan and closed the door. If this world followed the same rules for drunk people, and he hoped it did, this poor fellow should be sober in about eight or nine hours. Josiah leaned against the caravan. Tina didn't mention that the driver was a drunken old fool. And she didn't tell him the direction of the Sun Cavern Ledge either if he wanted to get there himself. 
He didn't have a choice but to wait. However, what could he do in the meantime? Were there any monsters nearby? He opened the radar, but only saw two red dots. The closest one was to his right. He tapped it.
[Closest target is 3 miles away.]
He wanted to get stronger and this was a good chance. One disappointing feature about the Radar is that it only shows the location of the target. He wouldn't know what it was until he laid eyes on it. It couldn't be helped. Normally, it would take a little less than an hour to walk 3 miles. Josiah was able to cut that down by half, thanks to the [Sprint] skill. Even though he couldn't use it more than four times, for fear of running low on Stamina, it did the job. 
[Closest target is 67 feet away.]
Even though it was an open desert, there were some spots that he could hide behind. Mainly large boulders. However, no matter how much he looked, he couldn't spot the target. 
[Life form detected ahead. Approaching at high speeds. 51 feet...43 feet...]
Josiah took out his daggers and ducked his head below the boulder. It didn't take a few seconds when the ground began to vibrate and crack. Realization hit Josiah. He was in a desert, he couldn't see the target, and it was approaching him very fast. It was underground. No sooner did that come to mind, the ground in front of the boulder erupted and dirt flew everywhere, kicking up a dust cloud.
[Survival Instinct] activated.
[Vitals] activated. Consumed 1 Mana.
Josiah focused his eyes on the dust cloud and it became see through. He searched the area and his eyes landed on something. He cursed under his breath. The Slimes and the Users he fought yesterday both had green names. This creature had an orange name.
[Level 25 Desert Serpent] 652/652
At first, it looked like a bunch of rocks were moving around, until it faced him. Red eyes glared at him and sent a shiver down his spine. He understood why there were no other life forms around. Who'd want to live with this thing around? There was no way he could defeat something of that caliber, was there? 
[Vitals] activated. Consumed 1 Mana.
Nine different spots lit up with a yellow glow. The serpent had nine sections that held it together like a puzzle. As he was thinking of ways to deal with this thing, something clicked. He had forgotten about a skill that would be very helpful in this situation.
[Soul's Existence] Allows you to call upon servants. Currently allowed to summon two servants. Each summon uses 2 Mana. Proficiency 0.5%
[Soul's Existence] activated. Summoning two servants. 4 Mana consumed.
Josiah's feet erupted in white smoke. As the smoke cleared, two figures came into view. "Huh?" Josiah was confused at what he was looking at. They were his duplicates,  except they had pure white bodies. Their joints had gaps and they had no discerning features. They kind of looked like mannequins. They both carried white daggers that mimicked Josiah's. 
While Josiah was preoccupied, the serpent had begun to make its way towards him, and very quickly. He barely had time to dodge as the snake lunged at him. He felt the immense amount of power that it possessed as it rushed through. After he gathered himself, he noticed the two servants were already engaged with the serpent. He didn't need to give them any commands. Did they read his needs or sense that it was an enemy? He'll figure out how they worked when he was safe enough.
[Desert Serpent has received 65 Damage.]
[Vitals] was still active, so he focused on the serpent. One of the spots had vanished at the tip of its tail. Eight left. 
While the serpent was busy fending off the servants, he saw an opening. Its belly was exposed. He didn't want to get too close, so he threw [Bloodlust] and it stuck into the belly, and one yellow spot vanished. 
[Desert Serpent has received 284 damage.]
This dagger was truly overwhelming. 
The serpent had started to squirm around from its belly being attacked, flipping the dagger further away from Josiah. He had his Common Dagger and it did deal a fair amount of damage. He'll have to make do with what he had. The serpent let out a screech and lunged at one of the servants that was attacking its head. It managed to get a hold of it in its teeth and bit it in half.
[Servant has been destroyed.]
"Tsk. I guess they aren't all that strong. I can still summon them back."
[Servant summoned. 2 Mana consumed.]
The other servant attacked the serpent's back and it screeched again. The yellow spot vanished.
[Desert Serpent has received 32 Damage.]
Good, good. This was definitely possible with the help of his servants. He would have died for sure if he took it on alone.
[Sprint] activated. 2 Stamina consumed. 
He dashed towards the tail of the serpent and slashed at it with his dagger. Each time the dagger connected, he dealt damage. The servants only health Damage every three or four hits.
Another yellow spot vanished.
[Desert Serpent's health has fallen below the halfway point. 326 health remaining. Desert Serpent has activated a hidden skill.]
As soon as the message popped up, the serpent started smashing its tail against the ground, sending shockwaves through the ground that knocked Josiah off of his feet. The System said that it had activated a skill, but it looked like it was just throwing a fit. 
He tried to get up and steady himself, but it was no use. He focused on the servants, they looked unaffected because they were still attacking the serpent. Josiah started walking towards the snake, but ended up doing some sort of hobbling act. It did its job, he was slowly getting closer to the rock ahead of the serpent. He managed to get there and ducked down. 
[Servant has been destroyed.]
The tremoring stopped and one of the servants flew past him and fell apart. He didn't have enough Mana left to summon a servant, so he would have to hope in and help out the remaining servant. He cursed under his breath before running out from behind the boulder and charging at the serpent. It had its back towards him and he took the opportunity. He ran up it's back, jumped on its head and started to mercilessly stab it. 
[Desert Serpent has received 314 damage.]
The serpent let out a screech and started violently thrashing around. Rocks were flying in all directions, but Josiah didn't let go of the dagger that was stuck in it's head. 
There was a slight pause and the serpent stopped moving around. Josiah smiled and twisted his dagger and started running down its back. There was no way the serpent could survive being cut out of its own husk. He reached the tail and jumped off, facing the serpent. It threw its head back and fell over on its stomach.
[Desert Serpent has been defeated.]
[You have risen four levels.]
[All Stats increased by 4]
[+12 Stat Points.]
[+4 Skill Point.]
[927 Pen received]
Josiah walked over to his other dagger and picked it up. He was expecting for it to start absorbing the serpent, but nothing happened. "Huh, I guess it really does only absorb if it deals the final blow." Since he had found a hidden part of his cloak, he was hoping the same thing here. No luck. 
He sheathed his daggers and checked the radar. When he found no displayed dots, he looked up and found that his servant had walked over to him. It stood in front of him, unmoving, staring at him with its empty face. Now that he had a good look at it, it had sunken, black holes where its eyes would have been. It was kind of creepy. 
Now that Josiah had finished with business, he looked around. Nothing but dessert. The only signs that someone was here was a dead serpent, some broken rocks and a creepy mannequin. And he had no idea how long he had been stuck here, fighting this stupidly absurd Desert Serpent.
No sign of the caravan. 
"Which direction did I come from?"

He thought death would be the end, but Karl was reborn into a new world. The beings of this world, Amaryllium, utilized something called Harmony to access their powers, but Karl was given something called the System. How will his story unfold?

In contrast, however, he possesses strong spirit power. Now, aided by the memories of his previous life as well, Tang's future as a Spirit Master is in no way bleak.

This novel is Douluo Dalu written by Tang Jia San Shao.

   　Most importantly, the prey in the deepest part of the mountain is the most abundant, with his current hunting ability, there would be no need to worry about the problem of bio-energy, even if the amount of bio-energy skyrocket after each evolution, this area should still be able to support him for a long time.
　　Just in these three days, he gathered a total of 860 bio-energy point. And that's without particularly hunting, after all, he was mostly exploring the area this time.
　　Just when Fang Yun was full of ambition, two creatures suddenly jumped in front of him.
　　The sudden appearance of the two creatures surprised Fang Yun, raising his head to see what kind of creature dares to stop in front of him.
　　But after seeing what kind of creatures they are, Fang Yun mouth couldn't stop twitching.
　　The animal that appeared in front of him can be said to be one of the most dangerous natural enemies of snakes.
　　Mongoose.
　　The two Mongooses that appeared in front of him, one big and one small, one about 70 to 80 cm and one about 30 to 40 cm. Both have the same characteristics.
　　Their head is small, their mouth and nose are long, and their tail is especially long.
　　That big tail, almost occupying half of their bodies.
　　Just as Fang Yun stared at the two mongooses, the system mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
　　"Target locked, mongoose, mammal, carnivore, can provide 150 bio-energy point."
　　"Target locked, young mongoose, mammal, carnivore, can provide 50 bio-energy point."
　　After hearing the system prompt, Fang Yun looked at the two mongooses, not like looking at a natural enemy, but like looking at delicious prey.
　　Fang Yun is no longer like the previous weak him.
　　When he was fleeing the forest fire previously, he met a mongoose group, at that time he was so scared that he almost shat himself.
　　But now, facing these two mongooses, Fang Yun has no fear of them, just the joy of finding delicious prey.
　　"Wheee…"
　　The two mongooses screamed at Fang Yun, slowly approaching him, trying to act intimidating.
　　Even though Fang Yun's body size is more than two meters, this doesn't seem to intimidate them, perhaps in their view, snakes no matter how big or small are all their prey.
　　After all, with their speed and agility, most snakes can't even scratch them.
　　After reaching a distance about half a meter away from Fang Yun, the big mongoose stretched its arm to tease him, but Fang Yun simply ignored it.
　　Fang Yun also occasionally saw the animal kingdom show in his previous life, so he knows that the teasing of mongooses is their strategy to hunt snakes.
　　In the face of snakes, mongooses tease them from time to time, making the snake attack them, but relying on their phenomenal speed and agility, they easily dodge every time, they repeat this process until the snake is exhausted, then kill it. A simple and easy process which work most of the time, that's why mongooses are considered snakes killer.
　　The big mongoose opposite, seeing that its strategy is not working, was slightly surprised, suddenly it pounced on Fang Yun, attacking him with its claws.
　　However, Fang Yun was already prepared, the moment the mongoose attacked him, he tightened his muscles, attacking with an even faster speed.
　　The big mongoose was shocked by Fang Yun sudden attack, twisting its body, trying to dodge mid-air, but its speed is still too slow.
       Fang Yun bit into its neck, injecting his venom into its bloodstream, then immediately releasing it. he turned his gaze into the smaller one, then without hesitation attacked it.
　　"Wheee!"
　　This horrifying scene scared the heck out of the small mongoose.
　　It was afraid, seeing that his mother has fallen into the ground, mourning with pain, he was particularly anxious, wanting to check its situation, but seeing that scary snake looking at him, then attacking him scared the hell out of him.
　　While the small mongoose was still frozen in fear, Fang Yun didn't waste this opportunity, bitting on its neck, then watching it as it struggled for less than a minute before dying. While mongooses have a certain resistance toward venom, but Fang Yun venom isn't something they can resist.
       His venom is already comparable to the top venomous snakes in the world like the inland taipan, which is far beyond what the mongooses are capable of resisting.
 
　　After Fang Yun swallowed the small mongoose, its mother finally stopped struggling and died.
　　Looking at the dead mongoose on the ground, Fang Yun wondered where its confidence came in the first place, most small animals flee upon his sight.
　　But this mongoose actually took the initiative to attack him, it must have thought that he was the same as other snakes, so it dared to attack him, even if it couldn't hurt him, it could easily escape with its agility, but who would have thought that it would end as his meal.
　　After digesting the small one, Fang Yun swallowed the big mongoose, causing his belly to swell once again.
　　200 bio-energy point at hand.
　　Fang Yun smacked his lips, an action he used to do as a human, seemingly relishing the taste of the mongoose, but he didn't stay in his place but dragged his swollen belly and crawled forward.
　　The next trip went without an accident. Fang Yun spent five days in total before reaching his destination.
　　Finally, on the fifth day, Fang Yun stopped moving.
　　At this moment, the forest around him is particularly lush, with a lot of trees, green bushes everywhere, and a variety of wild animals.
　　In his opinion, this place is very suitable for his survival.
　　The prey in this area is enough for him to evolve two to three times, or maybe even more.
　　With this idea in mind, Fang Yun began to look for a place to live in.
　　It's not easy to find the perfect nest for him to live in but after more than three hours of search, he finally found a place he was very satisfied with.
　　Fang Yun looked up at the place in front of him, a cliff, and in the middle of the cliff is a cave about a meter tall.
　　At the bottom of this cliff is a small lake, which is a bit bigger than two basketball courts.
　　When Fang Yun came to the edge of the lake, he saw a lot of fish in the pool, and not a very small fish, most of them being about 15 cm in length, some even bigger.
　　Seeing this scene, Fang Yun couldn't help but get excited, if someday he got tired of the taste of terrestrial animals, he could catch a few fish to change his taste.
　    Fang Yun crawled into the water, then swam straight to the opposite cliff.
　　After swimming for a while, he crossed this small lake and climbed the cliff straight into the cave in it.
　　This cave is more than a dozen meters deep and a few meters wide, enough to act as a nest to Fang Yun for a long time, as for whether he is going to stay here for that long? only God knows.
　　He climbed on a raised stone bench sticking out of the wall and laid down, preparing to rest. It's almost sunset, plus the exhaustion from the migration these days, so he isn't planning to hunt today.
　　He is planning to rest for a while to restore his spirit, before going out to check the situation around his nest and this new area.

Fang Yun has become a snake and got a system, the system requires him to brush up to 10 million reputation values, or face eternal death. So Fang Yun began to crazily upgrade!

A beautiful outdoor streamer in the mountains, facing the camera and the live friends sending gifts but was caught by a one-meter-long python.

3,000 meters above the sea surface, Lake Logar is suspected of the appearance of water monsters, causing a large number of tourists to explore.

On the calm sea, a luxurious cruise ship is slowly moving forward. Visitors stood on the deck as the sea breeze blow. Suddenly, someone found that under the water behind their cruise ship, a black shadow hundred of meters long is following closely.

This is not my story. I so not claim it as such and will thus not be turning on any sort of restrictions or locked chapters. 

I have tried to find the original author and translator, however I am unsure if I’ve found the right one. If they are wrong please do write it and I will change it. 

I have not found the original story and every site have different amounts of chapters so I will link the site on novel updates where you can find what I hope are the original author and translators.

Please do enjoy as this only meant to spread the story on to this platform.

"This should be the heart of the withering woods!" Murphy rubbed his nose.

"The scouting method I have prepared can now be used!" Murphy took a black coloured potion from his robes and poured the contents on the ground after opening the plug.

* Plop plop! *

After the black coloured potion was poured on the forest floor, it actually turned into tiny ants scampering in all directions.


As expected, after roughly a dozen minutes, a black coloured ant appeared at Murphy's feet, crawled on his robes all the way to his ears, and appeared as if it whispered something.

"It's been found! Follow me!" Murphy followed the ant and led the group to a withered oak tree.

"Move this oak tree away!" Murphy pointed at the large tree, "According to my probing, there seems to be a secret tunnel underneath it."

"Squad 1! Go!" Jackson waved his hands.

Several Black Iron Guards went forward and stabbed their pikes at the oak tree.

The withered oak tree did not seem capable of withstanding the assault. After being pierced multiple times by the pikes, many pieces and chips of bark filled the air as if it were snowing. The ten guards hurriedly moved the completely withered oak tree away revealing a dark sinister tunnel.

"Here it is!" Murphy's eyes flashed, and he chanted an incantation.

The widely spread black ants returned from all directions and entered the hole.

Suddenly, Murphy's face turned pale, and his body fell backwards, almost fainting.

"What happened?" An acolyte asked. 

"There seems to be an extremely dangerous creature inside. It destroyed all of my precious babies!" Murphy's expression appeared very unsightly.

"What should we do?" An acolyte asked, apparently wanting to leave.

"Prepare a fire!" Jackson waves his hands, "We'll have a look down there!"

"Yes!" The guards quickly carried out their lord's orders. Leylin and the other acolytes looked at each other. Having no other choice, they could only follow.

The hole was rather small. A grown man needed to crouch before they could enter. However, the tunnel became more spacious the deeper it went, until a number of guards could walk abreast, even raising the fire torches high did not touch the cave's ceiling.


"Lord Viscount! There's a fork ahead!" A squad leader reported to Jackson.

"Let me have a look!" Jackson stepped forward.

There seemed to be two perfectly similar tunnels ahead. Looking at the darkness of their unfathomable depths, one could not see the tunnel's end. It felt like walking into the huge mouth of a beast.

"The negative energy in here is becoming too dense. Some of our scouting methods cannot be used here!" The city lord's aide, the grey-robed person spoke.

"Call two men to reconnoiter each path ahead!" Jackson's brows furrowed as he gave the order.

"It would be better to let me do it!" Leylin walked forward suddenly.

Since he knew that the 'parent' was extremely powerful, he did not want his side to lose too much battle strength.

"Since Mister Leylin has decided to step forward, then it's for the best!" Viscount Jackson smiled.

Leylin walked forward several steps and took out a transparent crystal from his robes.

"Gurisitong – Jiaonateyer!" Leylin chanted. A black vertical pupil suddenly appeared within the depths of the crystal.

The vertical pupil was the same size as a human's, but it did not have the white of a human eye. Looking at this pure black pupil made one feel as if it could tear their souls from their bodies.

"This is… The Negative Energy Eye!"

"Only acolytes who specialise in negative energy are able to use it!"

The acolytes behind began to whisper and their gazes contained more hostility and fear than before.

The rank 0 spells of magicians who specialises in negative energy are generally more destructive and their personalities were more bloodthirsty and savage than most other Magi. This normally meant being a Dark Magi.

The regular magicians' hostile looks were understandable.

Leylin did not have any inclinations of explaining himself to the soon to be dead people behind him whatsoever.

The black pupil split into two. One floated into each tunnel.

Following the vertical pupils mentally, Leylin's closed his eyes. Viscount Jackson became rather nervous as he stared at Leylin. The group grew quiet, only the constant soft snapping noise of torches burning could be heard.

A few minutes later, Leylin opened his eyes, "On the tunnel to the left are a few mutated lizards. At its end is a large granite rock."

"As for the one on the right, I only know that it leads unknown distance downwards. My spell got smashed after I tried probing further."

"Since it's that way, let's all go down together." Jackson pointed to the tunnel on the right.


..... 



"Light! There's a light ahead!"

A guard walking in the vanguard shouted.


"Enter!" Jackson gripped his large sword with both hands and was the first to rush in.

The rest followed suit.


"Argh!" "Monster!" "Be careful!"

Various shouts resounded, and weapons were brandished.

[Alert! Imminent attack ahead! Optimal response: step back and crouch!] The A.I. Chip's voice intoned and projected a faint blue screen.
On the screen, a talon the size of a palm was clawing towards Leylin.

Leylin hurriedly retreated a step and crouched to dodge the attack.

Amidst the wails all around, Jackson's faint howling could be heard.

After the A.I. Chip's scan, Leylin could see that many lizard-like creatures were making use of their familiarity with the geography to attempt a massacre of Jackson and the squad of guards around him.

The sneak attack was so quick that when Jackson and the rest finally reacted, the whole squad already suffered heavy casualties.

As Leylin swept his gaze across the scene before him and his eyes finally adjusted to the bright light. He realised that the floor was already littered with corpses. Many of them had traces of having been chewed on by these strange creatures.

At that moment, only the 2 Knight level squad leaders and the grey robed figure, who always followed behind Jackson, were all that remained of the group with Jackson.

As for the acolytes, one had fallen to the ground and another had a large wound on his abdomen that was oozing blood.


All the 'mysterious energy' was flowing into his body. As his level increased his attraction of 'Mysterious Energy' also increased , so the amount wasted due to distance has decreased . He was taking it all in. 

At the apex of the cave, white-coloured jellyfish-like creatures were floating. The flash from earlier had radiated from their bodies.

Murphy appeared, clutching a book to his chest.


At this moment, in the cave, there were many mutated, yet familiar creatures. There were lizards, brown bears, and elks, all numbering over a dozen. At the centre most of them all, there was an enormous yellow snake that seemed to be the king, as it was guarded by the other creatures.

"It's Mankestre – Great Withering Snake Mankestre!" Murphy's book fell from his hands to the floor, letting off a bang.

"A.I. Chip, scan!" Leylin instructed.

[Great Withering Snake – Mankestre (Half-adult body) Strength: 11.9, Agility: 6.5, Vitality: 14, Spiritual force: 8] [Abilities: 1 – Parasitic. A Mankestre is able to develop an extremely strong parasite in its body, and spread it to other organisms, making them its underlings.] [2 – Wither. In any areas where a Mankestre has passed by, the plants will die, and become a type of nutrient for the Mankestre. An adult Mankestre possesses the strength of an official Magus, and can transform an entire forest into withering ashes.] [Source of information: , ]
The A.I. Chip delivered the information immediately in front of Leylin.

"Murphy, don't be fooled by its appearance. This is but a non-adult Mankestre. We still have a chance!"

"Indeed!" Murphy scrutinised the brown yellow colour of the huge snake and finally recovered from his fright, "An adult Mankestre is at least 100 metres long, and this snake is obviously not of that length yet. A number of parasites that it produces is also not right!"

"This huge snake is the cause of the withering woods?" Jackson asked at the side while staring at the huge snake as his Adam's apple moved.

"That's right! A Mankestre uses the juice of plants as their food. They are rather crafty and lazy, and also hate to move about. Basically, it uses the parasites to gather food for itself!"

Murphy, who had bountiful experience and wisdom, was extremely aware of the habits of the huge Mankestre Snake.

"So then, if we kill it, the herb production in Dark Night Woods can recover again?" Jackson used his long sword and pointed at the huge yellow snake that was protected by its parasitic mutated creatures.

"In theory, it should be the case as long as you kill it or drive it away. Although its death cannot revive the withering woods, it can still allow the prey and woods to slowly recover back to what it once was!"

Murphy smiled wryly.

* Hiss! * The snake coiled in the centre of the cave hissed, and let off a low, snake-like speech.

It was a kind of sound made by the friction of rubbing two pieces rotten leather together, which was extremely unpleasant to the ears.

The creatures surrounding Leylin and the rest seemed to have received orders, and howled as they charged forward!

"A.I. Chip! Simulate the most optimal method of attack!"

Leylin pulled out his cross blade.

[Beep! Inputting situation data, initiating build with Host's stats!] [Calculating battle simulation for the most optimal method!] The A.I. Chip continuously displayed the attack style of creatures surrounding home.
Leylin's feet moved as he dodged a brown bear's attack. The cross blade in his right hand drew a strange trajectory, and deflected the paw of the bear, and directly pierced through its skull.


The few acolytes also casted their rank 0 spells that they had prepared and assisted in killing these creatures.

Leylin only took a look and did not bother about them anymore.

* Sssii! *The corpse of the brown bear that Leylin had killed rapidly decomposed. From the bones, many veins appeared, which turned into the creature that Leylin and the rest had been chasing earlier. The creature then climbed into the Mankestre's mouth.

The Mankestre Snake opened its mouth and revealed rows of razor sharp teeth. Its tongue coiled, as it swallowed the strange red veined creature into its belly.


After swallowing the parasite, the Mankestre Snake finally uncoiled and looked at Leylin and the group, who were unrestrainedly slaughtering the creatures. Its crimson eyes showed signs of rage.

* Bang! * The huge body of the snake shot out, and the entire cave trembled violently.

The huge Mankestre Snake's body moved at an alarming speed, charging towards Jackson.


The Mankestre Snake opened its jaws wide, and its razor sharp teeth snapped at Jackson, bringing about a fish-like smell. If Jackson were to be caught, he would definitely die without a corpse left.

"Sir!" The remaining two Knights and the grey robed person shouted.

"Hah! Good try!" At the brink of death, Jackson finally released all of his internal energy, and the sword pierced at the crown of the snake with a speed that was hard to track by eye.

The sword, however, only left a white spot on the scales of the snake. As for Jackson, he used the force to rebound, and twisted his waist, evading the snap of the snake's jaw.
