Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 7: Scarlet Flame Python
One day, when Minghai's mind was hanging above the blood pool, looking around boredly, there was a rustling sound in the dense grass that was a meter high in the distance, and then a huge and ferocious beast crawled out of it.

This is a python with a body length of five or six meters, a waist thickness of about 0.5 meters, and covered with red hard scales all over its body, crawling in a winding manner on the ground.

"Ok?"

Minghai looked over first, and after looking at it for a moment, he was overjoyed.

This python-like beast, named 'Red Flame Scaled Python', has long-lasting stamina, immense strength, and is ferocious and cruel. Although it is only a G-level intermediate beast soldier, its actual combat power is comparable to that of an F-level advanced beast soldier.

Under normal circumstances, the Dark Sea would never target it for hunting.

The hard red scales covering the python's body not only have powerful defensive capabilities, but are also extremely resistant to toxicity and corrosion. The poison and corrosion of blood are completely ineffective against it.

But from what he saw in his mind, although the body of this 'Red Flame Scaled Python' was basically intact, there was a fist-sized wound on the top of its head.

As he crawled, blood kept oozing out of the wound on his head, staining the ground red.

"This 'Red Flame Scaled Python' was probably attacked by a ferocious flying beast. During the battle, one of its claws scratched its head, but the damage didn't reach its brain, so it's still alive!"

Minghai guessed secretly.

It is unlikely that the ferocious beasts on land could attack the head of the 'Red Flame Python'. If they could really attack the head, this 'Red Flame Python' would have become a meal for other ferocious beasts long ago. How could it escape here?

Only the ferocious flying beasts launched an attack from mid-air, scratching the head of the "Red Flame Scaled Python" with one claw, but because of the hard scales on its head, it was unable to kill it completely, and it successfully escaped.

Birds have a natural advantage when hunting land creatures, but they also have corresponding disadvantages. As long as the terrain is suitable, although they cannot defeat the enemy, they can use the terrain to escape by chance.

Apparently, this 'Red Flame Scaled Python' is such a lucky guy.

Of course, smelling the fragrance of the blood pool and rushing here to drink water may not necessarily be a lucky thing.

"hey-hey!"

Ming Hai chuckled as he watched the giant python's foot-long tongue sticking out from the front of its head, exploring back and forth while following the scent straight to the blood pool.

If it was injured elsewhere, he wouldn't be able to do anything to this 'Red Flame Scaled Python'. After all, its scales were too thick, and the blood wouldn't be able to corrode and dissolve them before it could react. But as for the brain...

I can only say that God will not let down those who work hard, and it comes without any effort!

This year’s wait was worth it!
'簌簌'

The huge body of the 'Red Flame Scaled Python' crawled on the ground and soon arrived in front of the blood pool.

As the Red Flame Python approached, the blood near it began to retreat, shrinking to the other end of the blood pool, revealing a downward slope.

Snakes generally have poor eyesight, even those that have transformed into ferocious beasts are no exception. The 'Red Flame Python' did not notice this, and continued to move towards the location where the fragrance was emitted by exploring with the tongue in its mouth.

Soon, the one-meter-long front half of the python, including its head, entered the blood pool and touched the blood water at the bottom of the blood pool, which seemed sweet and delicious to it.

The deepest part of the blood pool is only 1.1 meters, just enough to accommodate the head and a small part of the python's body.

Ignoring the 'Red Flame Python' drinking blood at the bottom of the blood pool, the Nether Sea Thought hanging above the blood pool carefully examined the injured head of the 'Red Flame Python'.

"Such a deep wound, almost half of the head is in there, and it hasn't even damaged the brain. How small must the brain of this 'Red Flame Scaled Python' be? No wonder it's so stupid!"

Looking at the python's head, which was the size of a fist and nearly a foot deep, Minghai marveled in admiration.

Snakes have very low intelligence, even when they evolve into ferocious beasts. Correspondingly, their brains are also very small.

Of course, this only applies to beasts below the lord level. Lord-level beasts, regardless of their species, have intelligence close to that of humans, so there is no such thing as low intelligence.

'boom'

After seeing the injury on the head of the Red Flame Scaled Python, Ming Hai no longer hesitated. The blood surrounding the blood pool gathered together with a "boom" sound, instantly submerging the huge python's head.

Regardless of other places, Minghai controlled the blood, condensed the toxins and corrosiveness of the entire blood pool, and poured it into the deep wound on the top of the "Red Flame Python"'s head.

After the poison was injected into the wound, it was activated and the blood quickly corroded the brain.

Blood suddenly flowed back, and a sharp pain came from the brain. The "Red Flame Python" that buried its head at the bottom of the blood pool to drink water let out a painful hiss and struggled to leave the blood pool.

That's too late.

The wound on the top of its head exposed part of its brain, and the blood corroded a large area of ​​its brain the moment it came into contact with it.

Can you survive a brain injury?
Any creature on Earth, unless it becomes a powerful domain master and condenses the core of life in its body, will surely die once its brain is injured.

Therefore, the 'Red Flame Python' only raised its head and roared for half a second before its huge head fell down powerlessly, and with a 'bang', it fell back into the blood pool.

Snakes are notoriously tenacious. Although it was dead, the huge and long body of the "Red Flame Scale Python" was still twisting, rolling, and struggling desperately.

It doesn't matter.

What's the point of struggling aimlessly without a brain and relying solely on physical instincts?

Next, it’s time to enjoy the meal.

Killing the 'Red Flame Python' almost effortlessly, Ming Hai immediately mobilized blood and water, and began to melt the corpse with all his strength, transforming it into blood and water.

First, the python's head was melted and transformed, and then the body of the "Red Flame Python" was dragged into the blood pool little by little with blood and continued to be corroded and melted.

It took a full five hours to finally melt the five or six meter long body of the Red Flame Python into blood.

'Crash'

The blood overflowed, pushing away the nearby soil, causing the pool surface to expand rapidly and the bottom of the pool to deepen rapidly.

Finally, a large blood pool with a diameter of 3.8 meters and a depth of 1.9 meters appeared in its place.

"Hahahaha!"

With his thoughts hanging in the air, Minghai couldn't help but burst into laughter as he looked at the blood pool that had been refreshed below.

The diameter of the blood pool increased by about 1.7 times, and the volume increased by nearly five times!
When will we be able to achieve such a huge improvement by relying on ordinary beasts?
The 'Red Flame Scaled Python' is a G-level intermediate beast soldier ferocious beast that is close to F-level. It is even better than the original G-level intermediate beast soldier charm cat. In addition, its body is huge. Melting and absorbing one is equivalent to melting and absorbing four or five charm cats.

The Nether Sea has already figured out a rule: the higher the bloodline and life level of the ferocious beast being absorbed and dissolved, the larger its body size, and the more blood and water it will convert.

Theoretically, if he could dissolve and absorb a lord-level beast, the blood pool would immediately reach a diameter of 100 meters or even a mile.

Of course, that's just in theory.

The actual situation is that if there really is a lord-level beast here, even if it is covered in wounds and offers no resistance, allowing the Nether Sea to corrode and melt it, it will not be able to do anything.

When the difference in life levels is too great, the corrosive and ablative ability of blood will have no effect at all.

"Ten meters!"

After the ecstasy, Ming Hai calmed down and sighed softly when thinking about the description in the inherited memory.

The next evolutionary goal of the blood pool is to have a diameter of ten meters.

By then, the bloodline will be purified, the essence of life will undergo a leap, and the toxicity and corrosiveness of the blood will be greatly increased. It can poison, corrode and dissolve low-level ferocious beasts in a short period of time, and it can also produce evil spirits that can disturb the minds of living things.

In other words, once the blood pool reaches a diameter of ten meters, any beast-soldier-level ferocious beast can be killed instantly, dissolved and absorbed.

But that is in the future. For now, Minghai can only wait patiently.

Waiting for ferocious beasts like the seriously injured charm cat, or the 'Red Flame Python' that suffered a serious head injury today.
