Chapter 38: Encirclement

  [The world where the experience card is located [Cabin in the Woods] is being locked. ]

  [Setting up the monster line. ]

  [Setting timeline.]

  [Stabilizing the consciousness shuttle channel. ]

  [Shuttle start——]

  After the familiar feeling of consciousness traveling, You Huan's first thought was that his hands and feet were gone.

  In the jungle, an extremely huge king cobra twisted its body.

  Before he could adapt to the snake's body, a series of whistling sounds of electric current were heard!

  Before a ball of electric light flew over, the king cobra raised and twisted its body, narrowly avoiding the attack range of the electric current.

  You Huan spit out his snake tongue, and the king cobra's excellent eyesight allowed him to see clearly the large number of fully armed humans who surrounded him.

  There is no doubt that these people are the people behind the movie "The Cabin in the Woods".

  In the movie, in order to prevent the ancient gods in the world from waking up and destroying humanity, the organization behind the scenes regularly sends monsters to kill selected humans as sacrifices to the ancient gods.

  If the Old Gods are satisfied with this dramatic sacrifice performed by humans, they will fall asleep again and will not come out to destroy humanity.

  In the movie, an organization in Country M selected five young men and women, who became behind-the-scenes directors and prop masters, and led the five people to a cabin in the forest.

  In the cabin, the organization will release a monster that has been contained by the organization according to the choice of the first person who selects the item and makes the summoning action, and let the monster kill five people in a specific order to complete the sacrifice.

  You Huan chose this monster card and this world of the heavens for two reasons.

  First, the organization behind the scenes in "The Cabin in the Woods" has housed a large number of monsters, and in his eyes, they are all delicious meals.

  Second, in the last world, he collected a large number of blood orchids that are beneficial to snakes in the jungles of Borneo, and also obtained the functional card - Python Power. These are all benefits that can be perfectly utilized by the King Cobra monster card.

  ...But obviously, his start this time was not very good.

  The monsters released by the organization behind the scenes to kill the sacrifices had all been contained in the underground base in advance. Now, they should be trying to contain themselves!

  Facing the humans who had surrounded him in the woods, You Huan opened his snake mouth and advanced instead of retreating!

  The King Cobra's body had already possessed great strength at this point in time. With all its muscles exerted, it flew towards a shelter worker like an arrow.

  Through the helmet, one can see that the shelter officer is still very young. Facing a ferocious snake head that is getting bigger and bigger in front of him, he raised the gun in his hand a little panickedly.

  However, You Huan suddenly burst out with a speed faster than him, and passed by him in an instant, and whipped him hard with his tail.

  As the human staggered, he also used the reaction force to bounce a few meters away, and rushed into the woods under the hail of bullets behind him.

  Finding a mud cave built by some unknown animal, he rushed in.

  After the thrilling start, he has quickly adapted to his limbless body.

  Finally getting a moment of peace, he opened the King Cobra's panel to check:

  [Species: King Cobra (mutant)]

  [Stage: Adolescence]

  [Talents: Venom, Toxin Immunity, Mouth Bone Movement, Body Temperature Control, Scent Tracking]

  [Skill: [Infinite Growth] Able to maintain high-speed growth at any stage, with no growth limit.]

  [Level: Lv.1 (0/10)]

  [Evolution Points: 0]

  [Strength Points: 0]

  Compared to the Indominus Raptor's eight talents, the King Cobra has only five talents, which basically come from the characteristics of the King Cobra species.

  But the talent [Body Temperature Regulation] is quite interesting, and it is only one word different from the [Body Temperature Regulation] of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

  The Indominus Raptor's body temperature talent allows it to temporarily adjust its body temperature within a certain range at will, which can be used to avoid infrared detection.

  But when You Huan tried it, he found that the king cobra did not have this ability.

  Could it be that...  

  Considering the major characteristics of the king cobra as a snake, he had a guess.

  The effect of [body temperature regulation] is to change the characteristic of the king cobra as a cold-blooded animal that cannot regulate its own body temperature, and transform it into a warm-blooded animal?

  This is very practical. Cold-blooded animals rely on the external environment to regulate their body temperature, so they are subject to many constraints from the environment, which is not conducive to You Huan's actions.

  In addition, the skill [Infinite Growth] is very powerful, allowing him to grow unlimitedly and at a high speed, and perhaps also combined with a certain degree of [High-Speed ​​Recovery] effect.

  The king cobra has grown to about seven meters in length in its adolescence, which exceeds the record for the length of the king cobra. This should be the effect of [unlimited growth].

  In the brief time he spent checking the panel, the snake's sensitive vibration perception allowed him to sense many footsteps approaching.

  He immediately used two function cards.

  [The Function Card: Python Power has been used on the Monster Card [King Cobra].]

  [New talent: Python strength. ]

  Although it was just a talent, the sense of power in You Huan's snake body was obviously enhanced.

  The muscle strength of venomous snakes is often not as good as that of pythons of the same size. After adding this talent, this shortcoming is made up.

  Moreover, the description of this talent is that it gains the power of a mutated giant python that matches its body size. It is a perfect match with the [Infinite Growth] skill. The bigger it grows, the stronger it becomes.

  Then You Huan took out a large pile of blood orchids from the space card and stuffed them into his mouth.

  [Evolution Point +1]

  [Evolution Points +2]

  [Strength Point +1]

  [...]

  Blood orchid indeed had a significant effect on snakes. As he swallowed a cubic meter of blood orchid, he gained a total of 32 evolution points and 2 strengthening points!

  Without hesitation, he filled in the 10 points needed to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, and the 20 evolution points needed to upgrade from level 2 to level 3 on the spot, upgrading two levels in a row.

  [Level: Lv.3 (2/40)]

  The bones made a slight crackling sound. Unlike the upgrade of the Indominus Raptor, the King Cobra shed its skin immediately after the upgrade.

  After breaking free from the gray old skin, its black and yellow scales shone brightly, and its body length increased directly to about ten meters!

  In the end, You Huan was not stingy and used all 2 reinforcement points to upgrade his talent [Python Strength].

  [Talent [Python Strength] has been upgraded to skill [Python Strength]. ]

  [[Python Strength] Based on the original physical fitness, the muscle and bone strength of the mutant python corresponding to the body size is superimposed.]

  The original talent was to directly change the strength to the python's strength level, and after it became a skill, it was superimposed on the original basis.

  It is equivalent to having the same body size but with the power of both a king cobra and a mutant python!

  You Huan's body size did not grow, but his strength suddenly increased a lot, and his bones and muscles were strengthened at the same time!

  At this time, the footsteps from outside were only two meters away.

  "Be alert! The target is around us—ah!"

  Before the containment officer finished speaking, a ten-meter-long snake shadow sprang out from a cave and hit the man directly, knocking him to the ground!

  At the same time, You Huan aimed at the gap between the man's helmet and clothes, and his two front groove fangs extended out, piercing into the man's body, instantly injecting a large amount of venom! After

  a successful attack, he bounced his back half with force, and with the blessing of [Giant Python Power], he left the man like lightning.

  "The target attacked a team member!"

  Amid the shouting, the other containment personnel wanted to check on the man who had fallen to the ground, but the man shouted, "Don't worry about me, go and control the target!"

  However, in this short moment, You Huan did not escape. Instead, his long snake body moved forward quickly on the ground like a curved lightning.

  Like the Grim Reaper lying in the bushes, he approached another inmate in a flash, bounced up, hit him, and injected venom in one go.

  Another person fell.

  The rest of the containment staff yelled, "Don't worry about capturing them alive, just use live ammunition!"

  　[Back row reminder]: The snake's body length in this article is about 30 to 50 times its body diameter. I found that many people always imagine the protagonist in the early stage to be too huge. In fact, you can roughly (very roughly) divide the body length by 40 as the body diameter. Let's try it.
