Python Rebirth on Survival Island

Snake Rebirth and the Mystic Pearl

Drip! Drip!

Water droplets the size of beans fell from the leaves, resulting in a continuous dripping sound.

Ye Bei fought hard to open his eyes. “Where is this? Why… does my body hurt so badly?”

As he said this, his vision gradually became clearer.

When his surroundings finally came into view, he shuddered violently.

Everything in his field of vision was completely blood red.

All around him were unidentifiable plants, and each one was the size of a gigantic tree.

Also, there were many trees, and the water droplets falling from the tree leaves looked bigger than his head! Near him, there were many pieces of eggshells stained and sticky with crimson blood, and the strong metallic smell of blood permeated the air.

Ye Bei had never imagined that such a weird place existed in this world.

…However, after a few moments of shock, Ye Bei soon calmed down.

Although his head throbbed excruciatingly, his memories still surfaced clearly. It seemed that that day all the employees from his company had been on a plane headed abroad for a vacation when the plane encountered a violent storm. The plane had slowly lost control during the storm, and when it was close to crashing, Ye Bei’s most trusted assistant handed the parachute to him, then opened the emergency door and jumped out. As to what happened after that, his mind was a complete blank.

“Judging from the situation, I survived the plane crash?” Ye Bei thought to himself before feeling strangely overcome with sadness…

“Zhao Hang, Chen Chengsong, Wang Shuo, Li Yue, Wang Shengyun, please be alive and well! You have to be alive!”

He muttered to himself.

Hiss hiss…

However, even though Ye Bei was clearly speaking in a human tongue, when he said these words aloud, all he could hear was the sound of hissing.

“What sound is that?”

An ominous premonition came over Ye Bei, and he forcibly tried to move his body.

As he did this, his eyes slowly came to rest on his body.

The very next second, he was stunned into immobility, his eyes filled to the brim with shock.

“What is this? This is my body? How is this possible? Why do I have the body of a snake? Is this a dream?”

Hiss hiss hiss…

Ye Bei exclaimed to himself. He couldn’t bring himself to accept the current situation…

…because when he looked down at himself, all he could see was a bloodstained body covered with patterns, and a long tail that was constantly twisting around.

Rustle rustle rustle…

Ye Bei was frozen stiff, his mind filled with countless questions. At that moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from beside him.

Ye Bei’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

A huge creature had quietly appeared before his eyes without him even realizing it.

The creature was similarly covered in patterns all over its body, and a red forked tongue kept poking out of its mouth. That huge body was easily a few hundred times bigger than his own, and its eyes were blood red. Its breath was cold, and it seemed capable of swallowing everything in its wake.

This was a giant python!

And it was the largest being Ye Bei had ever set eyes on.

“I’m finished! Am I going to have to die again?”

Seeing this monster, Ye Bei felt desperate.

However… the monster didn’t seem to harbor any intention of harming Ye Bei. Although it exuded a terrifying aura, the very moment it came near, Ye Bei sensed an illusion of warmth. Soon enough, the monster opened its mouth wide.

It was blood red and gave off a nauseatingly pungent odor.

Then… Ye Bei’s eyes widened even further. As the monster opened its mouth wide, it unexpectedly spit out a silver-white pearl.

The pearl was very large. It was approximately ten times bigger than Ye Bei’s entire body.

“Gurgle gurgle…”

However, as the pearl slowly appeared, Ye Bei suddenly felt a hunger he had never felt before.

His stomach even began to growl.

His instincts told him that this pearl was edible in its current form…

However… logic was telling him that if he swallowed such a huge pearl whole, his body would burst.

As for the giant monster, it quickly disappeared into the woods after spitting the pearl out beside Ye Bei.

As he looked at the crimson bloodstain on the ground, Ye Bei finally determined a few facts.

First, he was indeed still alive! But he had become a snake.

Second, this was a completely foreign island, and judging from the eggshells around him, he had just hatched. If he wanted to live, he had to rely on his own strength and ability to survive in this unknown forest island.

Third, the giant monster from moments before was very possibly his… mother!

These facts were too much for Ye Bei to swallow at the moment. In his previous life, he had been the boss of a domestically renowned company. Each word he uttered and every decision he made impacted tens of thousands of people. What a great irony it was now that he had become a newborn snake.

Gurgle gurgle…

Gurgle gurgle…

Ye Bei’s body remained coiled in its original position as he pondered for some time.

It wasn’t until the hunger in his stomach became increasingly intense that he gradually broke free of his thoughts… Finally, motivated by his hunger, he broke free from the constraints of reason. He opened his mouth wide, headed wildly for the silver-white pearl, and swallowed it.

The pearl was huge.

Ye Bei had originally assumed that the pearl would be very hard…

However, the moment his mouth came in contact with the pearl, he realized that the pearl was extremely soft.

Gurgle gurgle…

When the originally huge pearl was swallowed, and even after Ye Bei’s mouth was stretched to 270 degrees, he still felt no discomfort whatsoever.

As the pearl disappeared into his mouth…

A quick and scorching burst of energy passed through his mouth and spread throughout his entire body.

He clearly hadn’t chewed it at all…

But it tasted delicious!

Indeed, the neurotransmitters in his brain told him that the pearl was extremely delicious.

Furthermore, the burning energy made him feel as if every cell in his body was erupting in cheers.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle!

Gurgle gurgle gurgle!

Hiss hiss…

His throat bobbed up and down, and his muscles continued to lengthen.

The pearl was initially ten times larger than his own body, but within less than three minutes, Ye Bei had swallowed more than half of it.

Naturally, if any human had witnessed that sight right there and then, they would have been stunned by what they saw.

In the time it took for Ye Bei’s body to digest the pearl, his body rapidly increased in size at a rate visible to the naked eye. By the time Ye Bei had finished swallowing and digesting the entire pearl, his body had shot from its initial size of approximately 30 centimeters to more than one meter! His body had also grown at least five times thicker.

“I’m so, so full! And I feel so full of power!!!”

After he finished consuming the pearl, he lay down in his original spot and burped. He muttered words of contentment to himself, but when the words reached his ears, they sounded like hisses from the forked tongue of a snake.

However…

As Ye Bei lay down in his spot, intending to rest after eating…

…A strange voice suddenly rang in his ear.

“Congratulations to the host on consuming the Mystic Pearl! The Unlimited Evolution System has begun… As long as you continue to capture even more powerful creatures, you will one day become a real dragon that travels the nine heavens!!!!”

What?

Ye Bei heard this statement very clearly.

He was one hundred percent sure that he wasn’t having an auditory hallucination or a dream…

…Could it be that after he had become a snake, he had successfully turned on an operating system? Just as Ye Bei froze in shock, a clear screen immediately appeared before his eyes. There was information recorded on it, all relating to himself.
