Hiss hiss!

Inside the dark jungle, the sound of hissing continued incessantly.

The sound was enough to make a grown man go numb with fear.

Occasionally, a large leaf fluttered to the ground, adding to the strangeness of the surrounding atmosphere.

And in said strange atmosphere, a giant snake measuring 1.5 meters long was exchanging looks with a man wearing an indifferent expression.

Unfortunately…

The snake is the main character of this story.

And this human’s reaction only served to show how resilient he was.

…However, under such circumstances, Ye Bei didn’t immediately consume the man, because the voice of the system suddenly resounded in his mind, making his eyes widen in response.

“Given that the Host has successfully consumed four humans and has thus unlocked the hidden quest… the System will undergo another upgrade!!”

This news was very unexpected.

At that moment, Ye Bei was taken aback by surprise…

The System could be upgraded?

What conditions did it have to meet to qualify for an upgrade? This development was totally unexpected.

Furthermore, the system upgrade was completely automatic… While Ye Bei was still reeling from the surprise, the system had already begun its automatic upgrade.

A scorching current rapidly pulsed through his body.

A huge amount of information entered his head… At that moment, Ye Bei felt as if he’d gained unlimited knowledge, but that knowledge was buried deep in the recesses of his mind and couldn’t be accessed. It was an extremely strange sensation.

Standing in front of Ye Bei, the last surviving white man was extremely courageous.

Seeing that Ye Bei remained unmoving, he opened his mouth to speak, his tone surprisingly calm.

“My name is Alec, and I don’t know much! We’re only looking for that pearl because it can sell for a very high price. We’ve been on this island for close to three months trying to find it! Later on, by accident, we found out that a Blood Python had swallowed the pearl. This was the only reason why we attacked the pythons. You should also know that this island is deserted. A long time ago, a huge biological research institute that developed special medications was located here. Eventually, there was a chemical leak, which caused a lot of the creatures here to mutate. That’s why we came prepared with lots of weapons! But before coming here, our hunting squad was hired by a large mercenary organization in the United States. To prevent any accidents, we set up a base station on the island, and every 24 hours, it transmits a signal to report on our safety! Should anything happen to us, more mercenaries will be sent to the island to retrieve the pearl. If you kill me today… I’m guessing it won’t be long before more humans come here, and they’ll be equipped with even better weapons. In the end, I can guarantee that the island will face an unprecedented danger. If those who come here are unable to get the pearl, they will most definitely blast this island into ashes and dust and sink it all into the bottom of the sea! So, why don’t we make a deal?”

The Caucasian man was very calm.

As he spoke, he even looked Ye Bei straight in the eye.

Although Ye Bei’s system was undergoing its automatic upgrade during that time, Ye Bei could still hear and process the Caucasian man’s words very clearly.

Moreover, Ye Bei could still communicate seamlessly with the man.

A deal?

Ye Bei was no idiot. He had just killed four humans in cold blood. It would definitely be out of the ordinary if he allowed this last person to leave and they didn’t return later on for revenge.

However, Ye Bei wasn’t in a hurry to consume Alec. Afterall, this guy had just revealed plenty of valuable information.

And he was confident that he could find out even more from this guy.

“A deal? That sounds interesting. Tell me more. How do you propose we go about this deal?”

Ye Bei’s tone was very calm.

However, as he spoke, he deliberately intensified his predatory aura.

The Caucasian man trembled slightly, but he eventually managed to shore up his courage and stand firm. “Let me go,” he said, “and I’ll keep your secret! I’ll go back to the base and report that the mission has failed, and I’ll never set foot on this island again! You’ll never again face any threat…” While he spoke, his demeanor was very solmen.

Alec was characteristically a man of very few words. Had he been told before all this that a snake would one day force him to talk, he definitely wouldn’t have believed it.

But now, here he was having a conversation with a snake, and deep inside his heart, he was absolutely sure that this snake was in no way intellectually inferior to him. He had already decided that the first thing he’d do once he left this island would be to make news of this snake public at the very first opportunity. This news was probably worth millions of dollars!

“We can discuss those minor details more fully at a later time! You mentioned that this is an island, and that you’ve been here for a very long time. In that case, there must be a map containing all the precise details about this island. I want all the information! Place it on the ground…” Ye Bei’s eyes were frosty as he spoke, and his tone was commanding; there was no room for negotiation.

Alec didn’t dare to object.

Carefully, he removed the bag from his back. A glint appeared in his eyes when he saw the grenade inside.

But upon sensing Ye Bei’s predatory intent, Alex moved his eyes away from the grenade and retrieved the hand-drawn map from inside the bag.

“Here is the map of the island!”

As he spoke, he gently laid the drawing on the ground, worried that any sudden movement of his would provoke Ye Bei to act on his murderous intentions!

However…

The very moment he took the map out, Ye Bei suddenly moved, opening his mouth wide…

Hiss!

Gobble gobble!

“Pardon me, but I could clearly tell what your nefarious little intentions were! As for this map here, I’ll be keeping it…” Ye Bei said smugly to himself after consuming Alec and gaining an additional 5000 Evolution Points in his bank. His eyes were expressionless. After having eaten four humans in succession, an additional one posed no challenge to him.

However…

Just as Ye Bei finished saying this, his body started to tremble slightly.

The system upgrade was complete.

The influx of new information made Ye Bei tremble with excitement!!!

“It looks like I’ve hit the jackpot this time!” he subconsciously muttered aloud to himself.
