Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15940 Gluttony
An ordinary person might have thought the rustling sound was their own footsteps, but Ran Wen didn't think so. He was certain that his footsteps didn't make that sound; it must have been something else. Ran Wen's expression changed, and then he took a deep breath. With a thought, he suddenly released his divine sense and scanned his surroundings.

Cultivators all possess divine sense, but if your strength is insufficient, although you can project your divine sense, you cannot project it very far or for very long. Therefore, Ran Wen did not project his divine sense before. If he projected his divine sense for too long, his head would feel like it was splitting open. If he really encountered that situation, he probably wouldn't survive for long in this Seven Emotions Forest.

Not long after he extended his divine sense, he noticed a snake behind a large tree to his left front. The rustling sound was probably coming from the snake, since it was the closest to him.

Ran Wen immediately focused his divine sense on the snake, but when he saw it, he was stunned. The snake looked very strange. It had a big belly, which was very rare among snakes.

Normally, snakes are slender. Of course, they can also have large bellies. This is because they have eaten something very large. They swallow the food whole, which makes their bellies very big. After eating a lot, snakes usually stay in one place to slowly digest their food and will not move around randomly anymore.

But this time, the snake Ran Wen encountered was very different. This snake had a large belly, but it was still moving. Ran Wen also noticed that the snake seemed to be looking at him, as if it regarded him as prey.

This is even more abnormal. Normally, snakes only attack things they can swallow. Ran Wen is an adult male, and he is quite large. The snake is about the thickness of an arm, so it is impossible for him to swallow him. Moreover, he does not seem to have entered the snake's territory. Under such circumstances, the snake would not usually attack him. But now the snake seems to have a strong desire to attack him. What's going on?
Thinking of this, Ran Wen suddenly moved, leaping directly onto the tree. He then grabbed a branch, flipped over, and landed on the other side of the tree. From this position, he could see the snake perfectly, and he was right above it.

The snake was about two zhang long and as thick as an arm, but its belly was very large, which was completely disproportionate to its size.

Just as Ran Wen was looking at the giant snake, the snake seemed to see Ran Wen as well. It raised its head and stared at Ran Wen. For some reason, Ran Wen saw a greedy glint in the snake's eyes. The next moment, the snake leaped forward and pounced straight at Ran Wen.

Ran Wen was taken aback, then he swung his sword directly. His swordsmanship was actually quite good, and his strength was considered quite good among the outer disciples. The reason he had been injured before was because all those who came to challenge him were stronger than him, which is why he was injured. His injury did not mean that his strength was weak.

Ran Wen's sword strike was incredibly fast. The snake's head was right in front of the sword, and Ran Wen chopped it off with a single stroke.

The giant snake's head flew off, while its body fell to the ground, writhing in a bizarre manner. Ran Wen stood on the tree, watching the snake's body below. After a while, the snake's body finally stopped moving. Ran Wen then walked directly to the snake's corpse and slashed it open with his sword. What he revealed inside the snake's enormous belly stunned him: inside was a statue.

Ran Wen was stunned. That giant snake wasn't stupid. Why would it swallow a statue? Statues aren't edible, and ordinary snakes wouldn't swallow them. This was quite strange.

Ran Wen glanced around again, and then he saw the head of the giant snake. He walked over and cut off the snake's head, but its mouth was still open, which looked somewhat frightening.

Ran Wen moved his hand and swung his longsword at the snake's head. The snake's mouth closed instantly. This is a snake's ability; after its head is cut off, its mouth can remain closed for a long time. If someone doesn't know this and approaches the snake's head after it's been cut off, they are very likely to be bitten.

Now that the giant snake's head had closed its mouth, Ran Wen ignored it and returned to the snake's corpse. He had just checked and found that there were no wounds on the snake's mouth, and its teeth were intact. It didn't seem like someone had put the statue in its mouth. In other words, the snake had swallowed the statue itself.

Now Ran Wen was even more curious. He really wanted to know why the giant snake had swallowed the statue. He carefully used his sword to push the statue aside, then with a wave of his hand, he cast a cleansing spell, instantly cleaning the statue. Ran Wen then walked up to the statue and examined it closely. The statue was quite peculiar; it depicted a very large, fat person sitting in a chair, holding a piece of meat and putting it into his mouth, which was wide open, like a bottomless pit.

The statue wasn't complicated, but strangely, it deeply attracted Ran Wen's attention. Ran Wen seemed to be frozen in place, staring intently at the statue.

After a while, Ran Wen's eyes flickered, as if he had suddenly come to his senses. He glanced around, then at the statue in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, he stored the statue directly into his spatial equipment. The next moment, his gaze fell on the snake corpse beside him. He hadn't liked the snake corpse before, finding it somewhat disgusting, but now, seeing it, his mouth involuntarily began to salivate profusely. The snake corpse that had previously seemed disgusting now appeared incredibly delicious in his eyes. A voice slowly rose in his heart, saying, "Eat it, eat it, eat it."

The sound slowly consumed Ran Wen's reason. A greedy light flashed in Ran Wen's eyes, and then, like a wild dog, he pounced on the giant snake's corpse. He picked up the snake's body and put it directly into his mouth, not caring that the snake's corpse was covered in blood and was still alive. He kept biting and chewing on it, just like a starving beast.

He ate very quickly, as if the snake carcass were some kind of delicacy. Although his face was covered in blood, he didn't care at all. He didn't even leave the snake's bones behind, chewing them up and eating them directly.

In less than an hour, Ran Wen had eaten the entire body of the giant snake, including its head. The strange thing was that although Ran Wen had eaten the whole snake, his stomach did not bulge at all. It was as if it had turned into a spatial bag, and he did not react at all when the snake was inside his stomach.

After eating the giant snake's corpse, Ran Wen licked his hands, which were still stained with blood. The blood seemed like a delicacy, making him reluctant to give it up.

The next moment, Ran Wen suddenly woke up. As soon as he woke up, he looked down at his hands. When he saw the blood on his hands and the snake carcass that had completely disappeared, he was shocked. Then he murmured, "What happened?"

Just then, he suddenly felt an itch on his chest. He pulled open his clothes and saw that the wound on his chest was disappearing rapidly. In no time, the wound on his chest had completely disappeared without even a scab forming. Ran Wen was stunned. Then he immediately checked his other wounds and found that they had also disappeared. All his new and old wounds had vanished.

Upon seeing this, Ran Wen was taken aback, and then he murmured, "What's going on?"

The next moment, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. Then he felt himself in a space where he saw the strange statue again. As he looked around warily, he heard the statue speak: "Those who believe in me will gain endless power."

Ran Wen was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed. He looked at the statue warily, and the next moment a golden light shot out from the statue and hit him. Ran Wen was frozen in place. Many things appeared in his mind, and he couldn't process them for a while.

After a long while, he finally digested everything in his mind. Once he had digested it, Ran Wen breathed a sigh of relief. He now understood his situation. The statue he had seen was called the God of Gluttony, and he had now received the God of Gluttony's blessing. The God of Gluttony had only one divinity: gluttony. He could eat anything with energy and then convert it into the energy he needed. For example, if he was injured, and he ate something high in energy, like a crystal, the crystal could be converted into energy in the shortest amount of time to heal his injuries.

Ordinary cultivators might not be able to consume crystals, since crystals are stones that cultivators cannot directly digest. However, the God of Gluttony is different. He can eat anything, and crystals, which contain enormous energy, are his favorite. He can absorb all the energy from crystals, and this absorbed energy can be transformed into any kind of energy within his body, such as spiritual energy, energy that can heal injuries, martial arts techniques, or a sense of the laws.

Cultivators need energy to do anything, and this God of Gluttony can convert the energy they eat into any kind of energy. In other words, as long as Ran Wen keeps eating, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds, especially with foods that contain a lot of energy, his strength will improve even faster. This made Ran Wen overjoyed.
