Chapter 114: The Plan Completed!
"Holy crap... Snake Lord swallowed the fire? Am I dreaming?"
The fisherman, who was just about to find something to fetch water to put out the fire, was completely stunned by what he saw.
His mouth was wide open, as if he were competing with the black king snake to see who could open their mouth wider.
However, it was obvious that he was completely outmatched.
"??? The Black King Serpent can devour flames?"
Cang Nian was also stunned by this scene.
He had always thought that the Black King Serpent's special ability was simply to devour and grow!
but……
Devouring flames is still devouring, so it doesn't seem wrong...
"That's right, we can't tell what the Black King Serpent is trying to say from its hissing."
Therefore, communication can only rely on guessing through body language.
After the spiritual energy revival tide, I didn't even ask what its special ability was.
Instead, they make vague judgments based solely on outward appearances.
It's like Tiger Brother's superpower; if it doesn't demonstrate any other function, I can only conclude that it's a simple defensive superpower.
Who would have thought it wasn't just simple defense, but rather a release of stored energy?
After some thought, Cang Nian felt relieved.
Because of the language barrier, it was somewhat difficult for the black king snake to communicate with itself.
Therefore, he himself did not understand what its specific superpower was.
Just as Cang Nian was marveling and pondering, the Black King Serpent devoured the accidentally ignited fire in just over ten seconds.
"Ow~!"
Seeing this, Cangnian came to the black king snake and howled as he asked.
Where did those fires go?
This is a question that Cang Nian is quite curious about.
Surely, consuming flames wouldn't allow the Black King Serpent to grow bigger, would it?
Between Cang Nian and the Black King Snake, Cang Nian couldn't understand what the Black King Snake was saying, but the Black King Snake could understand the meaning in Cang Nian's cries.
Upon hearing this, the black king snake lowered its body and swam towards the riverbank.
Seeing this, Cang Nian quickly followed.
Before long, the Black King Snake brought Cang Nian to the riverbank.
Then, it straightened up, raised its head, and opened its blood-red maw.
Huh~!
The next second, a thin tongue of fire shot out from the black king snake's mouth, illuminating the river surface!
However, the flames only lasted for a few seconds before they died down.
Then, a black smoke ring slowly rose from the mouth of the black king cobra.
"So... the Black King Serpent's special ability is indeed devouring, but it can not only devour food to accelerate its growth."
It can also swallow energy-producing substances and release them when needed?
The black king snake's demonstration was quite intuitive, and Cang Nian immediately understood.
This superpower is too powerful!
The mere act of devouring and growing has allowed the Black King Serpent to transcend species limitations in size, its sheer physical strength rivaling that of top predators.
Cang Nian had no doubt that, given the Black King Serpent's current size, if it were to constrict Tiger Dad like a python hunting, Tiger Dad's chances of breaking free without using his Black Flame ability would be less than 50%.
Now, the Black King Serpent can also absorb and store energy, releasing it when needed!
Just the ability to breathe fire is already incredibly cool!
I just don't know how powerful it is.
"This seems to be similar to Tiger Brother's energy storage release!"
However, Tiger Brother can store energy simply by being hit.
The black king snake must open its mouth to swallow, one to store kinetic energy and the other to store chemical energy.
"Wait, maybe Tiger's special ability can also store the power of fire?"
Cang Nian's thoughts began to wander.
His eyes involuntarily glanced at Tiger Brother.
Huh~?
Tiger Brother, who had just finished eating, raised his head and looked at Cangnian with a puzzled expression.
It sensed that its brother might have some bad intentions towards it!
Is my brother going to beat me up again?
Thinking this, Tiger Brother stuck his butt out and crawled between Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom, shrinking his head as if this would give him more security.
Ouch~!
The tiger dad and tiger mom were grooming each other when the tiger cub interrupted them, which annoyed them. They raised their paws to push the chubby little guy away.
However, just as it raised its paw, it met the tigress's gloomy eyes.
Seeing this, Tiger Dad could only guiltily lower his paws, letting Tiger Brother, the third wheel, squeeze between him and his wife.
Hey……
The little cub is still the one who makes things easier for the tiger.
Tiger Dad thought to himself with worry.
"Ow~!"
Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, and Tiger Brother were enjoying a loving family time, while Cang Nian, accompanied by the Black King Snake, arrived at the fisherman's side.
The accidental fire had left the fisherman somewhat shaken, so he quickly gathered the fire closer together to prevent it from being blown away again.
Hearing Cang Nian's cry, the fisherman looked over.
Then, Cangnian pointed to the fisherman's campfire and then to the black king snake's mouth.
"Wait... Tiger, are you saying that Snake's superpowers can be used to build firebreaks?"
Yes! How come I didn't think of that?
Snake Lord's fire-swallowing technique is so powerful, we'll set a section of the jungle ablaze, and the flames will spread to both sides!
They're heading towards the mycelium over there, while we'll let the snake devour them here!
This way, the fire can be contained within the area!
Tiger, you're a true genius!
Upon seeing Cang Nian's actions, the fisherman exclaimed in surprise!
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian nodded reservedly, but his eyes were full of excitement!
With the Black King Serpent's ability to devour flames, the final piece of the puzzle for the plan to attack the mycelium with fire is now complete!
"However... Snake Lord, how many times can you use this method of devouring flames in a short period of time?"
How much can you swallow before you can't swallow anymore?
But the fisherman wasn't as optimistic as Cang Nian; instead, he thought of an important question.
His "laws" are powerful but highly restrictive representations of supernatural abilities.
He can only use it five times in a short period of time, which makes his ability to fight continuously very poor.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed with Cangnian's family, intending to train his superpowers to be stronger and use them more often before returning to Kangcheng.
Therefore, he is very sensitive to this.
"That's true... If it's used too infrequently, it's difficult to actually build a firebreak."
Fishermen pay more attention to these kinds of questions, unlike me who almost overlooked them!
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian nodded in deep agreement.
Then, he turned his gaze to the black king snake.
He knew that the black king snake must have understood the fisherman's question.
Upon seeing this, the black king snake first shook its head, then raised its head and opened its mouth.
Heh!
The next second, the fisherman's fire turned into a line of fire, and flames surged into the black king snake's mouth.
Huh~!
But as soon as it finished swallowing, the black king snake spat out the flames again, and the fire was rekindled.
Heh!
Then, the black king snake consumed the flames.
Huh~!
Then, the black king snake spewed out flames again.
And so, the black king snake continued swallowing and spitting out its prey more than thirty times.
"Stop, stop, stop! I get it, Snake Lord, as long as you don't swallow too much at once and store it for too long, you can keep doing it over and over again, right?"
Seeing this, the fisherman quickly asked.
Then he realized that wild animals have not learned to count, so how could they express a man-made concept like how many times they can be used?
Upon hearing this, the Black King Serpent nodded slightly and stopped breathing flames.
