The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Chapter 115 California King Cobra, Devil King Cobra, Earth-Embracing Ancient Pig Cobra
Humans' relationship with snakes, especially venomous snakes.

They all have an instinctive fear.

Zeng Shen was bitten by a water snake when he was a child, and since then he has had an innate fear of snakes other than pythons.

But as soon as he heard the notification sound in his ear, Zeng Shen immediately smiled.

Although he was afraid of snakes, he did so for the sake of the nation.

These will become the Serpent People, an intelligent race in the future.

He absolutely cannot leave it to Big Bad.

Of course, he assured that he was not determined to possess these snake people because of system prompts that they were alluring or something similar.

Zeng Shen took a deep breath, turned around, and walked into the shop where the snake people were born.

This snake shop is very large, with several areas and rows of glass tanks.

There were even more snakes of all sizes in the glass tank.

Zeng Shen felt a strange chill run down his spine.

The snake shop owner, a blond middle-aged man, looked at Zeng Shen and asked, "Young man, are you interested in raising snakes?"

“Yes, I want to buy some snakes to raise.” Zeng Shen said, throwing a Spying Eye at him.

[A corpse whose divine energy had been drained by the snake-people.]

"Tsk, the same way the White Fox Shop owner died."

Zeng Shen muttered to himself.

Once the snake shop owner confirmed that Zeng Shen had come to buy snakes, he immediately began to happily introduce them to the shop.

He pointed to the seven or eight snakes encased in fiberglass on the shelf beside him and began to explain.

"The snake tanks in this area are all king snakes."

"Kingsnakes are the nemesis of venomous snakes, especially fond of eating them. They are non-venomous and immune to the venom of all snakes. Although they are somewhat aggressive, they can be tamed like corn snakes with regular interaction. They are easy to keep and suitable for beginners."

According to the snake shop owner's introduction.

Zeng Shen looked at the first snake tank in front of him.

This snake tank contains a snake that is about one meter long, with black and white segments.

A note was pasted on the glass tank, which read "California Kingsnake" and had a price tag next to it—$100.

The price isn't too expensive.

Zeng Shen threw down a spying eye.

moment.

A panel that only he could see slowly emerged from above the head of the California king cobra.

[Beast-type creature: California King Snake]

[Qualification: Average.]

[Tier 3: 0/10000]

[Name: Unnamed]

[Skill: Not activated.]

[Faith: Misha, a fourth-tier tribal deity.]

[Mood: Carefree]

[Analysis: A California kingsnake, under the influence of divine energy, underwent a rapid mutation in its body shape, gradually increasing in size. At the same time, a pair of wings emerged from its back, enabling it to briefly leap through the air, drastically enhancing its hunting and self-defense abilities.]

"How come this king cobra has a deity to worship?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Zeng Shen's eyes. He remembered the system notification earlier that only intelligent races and their tamed beasts were present here.

This king cobra was a tamed beast of that intelligent race.

According to the system's prompts, that intelligent race doesn't seem to be a member of that deity's retinue.

How could this California kingsnake have a deity it worships?
With a hint of doubt, Zeng Shen tamed the California kingsnake and then looked at the fifteen snake tanks next to him.

In these fifteen snake tanks.

They were all California kingsnakes of varying sizes.

Zeng Shen threw down one spying eye after another.

There were eight California kingsnakes in total. A virtual panel appeared, showing five of them as elites, three as ordinary, and the rest did not live to see the end of the next three years.

with no exceptions.

In the blink of an eye, he had tamed all eight snakes.

Followed by.

He turned to the snake shop owner, who was enthusiastically introducing the king cobras, and said, "Boss, I'll take this one, that one, and all nine of these California king cobras." "Ah, nine of them? You want them all?" the snake shop owner confirmed with delight.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No problem, no problem."

The snake shop owner said happily, then turned around and called over a shop assistant to bring out the snakes.

Place it in a large glass snake tank.

Then he took the card reader and wanted Zeng Shen to pay the bill.

"No rush, I still need to buy some more to take back." Zeng Shen waved his hand and continued walking inside.

On the shelf next to the California snake, there are four snake tanks.

Each of the four snake tanks contains two black snakes, each a meter long, with bodies as black as ink.

Black snakes are a type of king snake and are relatively easy to keep.

The price is also $100 per piece.

Zeng Shen threw down one of his spying eyes at each of the eight black snakes.

Good luck.

There are six black snakes here, which will eventually transform into dark creatures, the Demon King Serpent.

Moreover, the smallest criterion is lord aptitude, while the remaining five are elite aptitude.

However, what puzzled him was...

These black snakes, like the California king cobras, also worship a deity called Misa.

Although Zeng Shen didn't know who this Misa was.

But even if you know.

He won't let these black snakes go either.

Without hesitation, he tamed them all, then turned to the snake shop owner and said, "I'll take these six black snakes too."

"Make arrangements, make arrangements."

The snake shop owner's face was full of smiles.

now.

He looked at Zeng Shen as if he were a god of wealth.

Because he noticed that Zeng Shen was walking into the snake tank inside.

He quickly stepped forward and began to explain.

"These snakes are called hognose snakes, named for their snouts that resemble those of a pig. They are one of the four most common pet snake species, and the only one that is venomous, though the venom is extremely weak. The charm of hognose snakes lies in their endearing clumsiness, which is why most people like to keep them as pets."

Zeng Shen nodded.

Then, a spying eye was cast into the snake tank, where the pig-nosed snakes, some with red bodies and others with patches of yellow and white, exuding a plump appearance, were thrown in.

moment.

Of the eight pignose snakes in the snake tank, only one pignose snake, with a red body, displayed a virtual panel that only he could see.

[Earth-type creature: Earth-burrowing Ancient Snake]

[Qualification: Lord.]

[Tier 3: 0/15000]

[Name: Unnamed]

[Skill: Not activated.]

[Faith: Misha, a fourth-tier tribal deity.]

[Mood: Carefree]

[Analysis: A hognose snake, under the impact of divine energy, underwent a rapid mutation in its body shape. As its size gradually increased, its original pig-like snout transformed into a giant shovel shape, and its scales became incredibly sharp and tough, easily breaking through thick layers of soil to create a giant hole.]

Upon seeing the hognose snake's stats, Zeng Shen cast a few taming spells, successfully taming it. He then turned to the snake shop owner beside him and said:
"I want this hognose snake."

"Arrange it, arrange it, Indian, fish this pignose snake out too."

The snake shop owner said, then turned to his assistant and continued following Zeng Shen toward the two large glass tanks not far away.

Each of the two large glass tanks contains more than twenty very small snakes.

These snakes are brightly colored, each only 90 centimeters long, and have a rather short and stout body.

As soon as Zeng Shen approached, a rapid warning sounded in his ear, and at the same time, a panel that was reddish-purple in front of him began to vibrate incessantly.

[Danger! Danger! The host has attracted the attention of the chieftain of the fourth-tier tribal deity, the Serpent-Human Clan, and his people. With the host's current strength, if he does not escape quickly before being bewitched, he may be entangled and exhausted, dying from exhaustion and hoarseness. The host must escape as soon as possible.]
