Chapter 35 Snake Swarm vs. Fat Catfish

The snakes carried Cheng Feng for another hour or so, occasionally branching off onto a different path.

Cheng Feng controlled the snake swarm based on the map he remembered.

Moreover, upon seeing these forks in the road, Cheng Feng realized that they were not far from the tomb of Prince Gu Mo.

"That's strange. Logically speaking, the range of those catfish shouldn't be that small."

Cheng Feng was a little puzzled. They were almost at their destination, but they still hadn't seen any catfish.

Surely the catfish can't only live in that one area, right?

Perhaps sensing Cheng Feng's doubts, the sharp-toothed catfish suddenly caused countless splashes to erupt on the previously calm water surface.

Catfish, each about the length of an adult's arm, leaped out of the water.

It mistook the red-striped Āgama for food and opened its sharp teeth to bite the snake's body.

Then he fell into the water with the snake in his mouth.

However, the Pure Vision Agama is not to be trifled with; even when its body is bitten, it does not stop it from retaliating.

Once bitten by the Pure Vision Agama, the catfish dies instantly; its lethality far exceeds that of a catfish's bite.

However, the catfish are numerous and will soon advance to the position of Cheng Feng, the commander-in-chief.

"Reinforce up the troops! We must reinforce them! Fight them back!"

As he spoke, a glint of light flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes, and a large number of Pure Vision Agamas surged out of the void in front of him.

The snakes, which had been forced into retreat, launched a desperate counterattack.

Countless catfish died from the poison and floated to the surface, where snakes overwhelmed their carcasses like a tidal wave.

They fought the catfish relentlessly, turning the river into a meat grinder in an instant.

But soon, the catfish couldn't hold on any longer.

Because the blood of the Pure Vision Agamas is also highly poisonous, the more of them die, the greater the damage to the catfish.

Cheng Feng lay steadily on the platform of generalship (snake swarm version), waving his hand with high spirits:

"Move the entire army forward! Take over the territory of these fat catfish!"

Under Cheng Feng's command, the snake swarm advanced even faster, and his command post also began to move forward.

On this battlefield where knives and blood were drawn, Cheng Feng was filled with excitement, wishing he could personally join the fray and fight the catfish for three hundred rounds.

Perhaps driven by biological instinct, the fat catfish began its retreat after losing countless relatives and friends.

In this battle, General Cheng's Snake Army won a great victory, while the Fat Catfish Legion fled in defeat, leaving behind a pile of wreckage.

"This feeling can be summed up in one word—awesome!"

This exhilarating feeling made Cheng Feng happier than obtaining so many treasures.

After crossing the battlefield, Cheng Feng soon saw the dog hole that had almost cost him his buttocks.

After guiding the snakes to the shore, Cheng Feng nimbly climbed onto the bank.

At the same time, the snake swarm, having completed its mission, returned to the imaginary space.

This is a reusable resource; every little bit saved counts.

After passing through the secret passage that the prince had once walked, Cheng Feng returned to the prince's tomb once again.

Unlike the Queen of Jingjue, the coffin lid in the Prince's Tomb was not closed.

Even the prince lay pitifully in the corner, because he had turned into a zombie and was covered in toxins.

After carefully collecting the prince's burial goods that he hadn't taken with him, Cheng Feng left the underground tomb.

When Cheng Feng climbed out of the well, it was still daytime outside.

Sitting in front of this ruin built specifically for a well, Cheng Feng began to consider how to get out of the desert.

After much thought, I realized I still had to trouble my team of snake-like assistants.

However, this time he can get help from a more powerful subordinate, namely the leader of the Pure Vision Agama, the Snake Mother.

The Serpent Mother is not the only existence in the imaginary space.

The imaginary space is boundless, inhabited by countless Pure Vision Agamas, which are immortal within it.

Moreover, the energy left behind by the serpent god is constantly being transformed into the Pure Vision Agama.

Occasionally, during energy tides, a snake mother will be born.

Having made up his mind, Cheng Feng leaned against the corner of the wall to rest, preparing to travel again when he could use his Ghost Eye that night.

The sun sets and the moon rises,

After it got completely dark, Cheng Feng opened his Ghost Eyes.

“My generals couldn’t do their job in the underground river before, now it’s time for you to step up.”

As he spoke, the space-time in front of Cheng Feng was torn apart, and a huge snake mother emerged from the void.

This guy looks a lot like the one Cheng Feng killed. It's over four meters long, with a human body and a snake tail. It's obviously a top-quality tool snake.

The Snake Mother stood with her head bowed before Cheng Feng, expressing her absolute obedience to him.

Born from the serpent god's demonic eye, it possesses absolute power to suppress beings who are not even servants of the serpent god.

Cheng Feng jumped onto the snake mother's shoulder in a few swift movements, and after settling in, instructed her:

"Let's set off in this direction!"

Upon hearing this, the snake mother immediately swung her tail and began to move across the desert at an extremely fast speed.

The snake mother, with her incredible strength and ability to survive without food, was like a nuclear-powered donkey. Cheng Feng didn't release her back until just before dawn.

Then I found a place to rest.

And so, Cheng Feng traveled by night and hid during the day, and soon arrived at the outskirts of the Black Desert.

Tourists have started to appear here, so Cheng Feng has more time to rest.

They usually didn't summon the snake mother to continue their journey until almost midnight.

To avoid him creating any strange legends that could negatively impact the local tourism environment.

After a five-day, three-night journey, Cheng Feng was finally not far from the town where he had started.

Even at night, there are still people around, so we have to rely on our own two legs to get around.

Cheng Feng traveled at a leisurely pace and arrived back in the town just as dawn broke.

The monotony of the journey dissipated with the lively surroundings.

Cheng Feng's return went unnoticed; the tourists who came here were all dressed similarly to him.

With the reform and opening up, the first group of people to get rich had money in their hands, and the tourism industry also began to show signs of growth.

After walking through the streets of the town, Cheng Feng arrived at a hotel.

Cheng Feng still had a lot of money on him when he went out, after all, there's an old saying that a poor family is rich on the road.

After booking a room, Cheng Feng went out to a restaurant.

The restaurant was doing good business at the time, and it was almost full. Cheng Feng didn't want to share a table with others, so he waited outside for a while.

Soon after some people finished eating and got up, Cheng Feng walked into the store and sat down at an empty table.

"Hello, here is the menu. What would you like to eat?"

A young woman in her twenties placed the menu on the table and addressed Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng picked up the menu and ordered eight dishes and a soup, having been eating dry rations in the desert for some time.

Cheng Feng, whose mouth was practically tasteless of birds, decided to improve his meals.

"Guest, are any other guests coming later?"

"That's all, just me. Don't worry, I have a big appetite and won't waste anything!"

Cheng Feng offered an explanation, and the waitress stopped trying to dissuade him, turning to go to the kitchen to relay the message.

"Wait a minute, young lady, there's something I'd like to ask you."

The woman stopped walking after hearing this.

"Here's the thing, I want to get closer to the desert, and I've heard that there's a very famous guide named Anliman. Can you contact him, young lady?"
