Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 272 The plan cannot keep up with the changes

Tatunbto, the city of the serpent god.

After undergoing a technological upgrade, the efficiency of Tatungbhu's operations has increased significantly. This is due to the convenience brought by the new technology, but it also brings the pressure from the unknown.

After all, the anticipated attacks from the starry sea have not yet arrived.

The gods in the Star Sea are terrifying, that's everyone's perception. To those terrifying gods in the Star Sea, they are probably not even as good as ants. If it were decades ago, before the Snake God appeared, they probably would have just accepted it, since they had no ability to resist.

Moreover, at that time, they were also worshipping some gods, such as the legendary Cobra Goddess or the Sun God. It was just that a few more gods were above them, but the difference didn't seem that big.

But now, everything is different. They can't explain where their confidence comes from. All they know is that the eagle-headed sun god of yesteryear has now been smashed into thin slices and turned into a grill by the serpent god.

So, when faced with the oppression of the gods in the starry sea, are they also able to put up a fight?
"Before the Snake God came, the local gods bullied us, and after the Snake God came, the alien gods still bullied us... If we really let those alien gods bully us like this, then the Snake God's trip was in vain?"

As the four priests shouted this slogan, the entire Tatumbhut immediately intensified its war preparations. While the people of Tatumbhut were tirelessly improving their technology, the gifts of the gods of wisdom and the hidden knowledge from the stars continued to flow in with their prayers.

Yes, there are good gods in the starry sea. At least this god of wisdom has always been helping them. If the people of the Serpent God Empire are to say which gods they trust, the Serpent God is definitely number one. But besides the Serpent God, there is also this god of wisdom from the starry sea.

After all, this god of wisdom had given them far too much.

People have wondered why the god of wisdom would bestow so many selfless gifts upon them, but when they asked this question in prayer, the god of wisdom did not respond to them—this great god of wisdom seemed to only offer them knowledge.

Although sometimes such mysterious knowledge can cause some trouble, considering that this knowledge is given away for free, it must be that they are using it incorrectly, and it is definitely not a problem with the god of wisdom.

The long-term free gifts instilled in these local indigenous people a deep trust in the god of wisdom.

This directly led to the fact that even when it came to crucial matters like war preparedness, they were happy to seek inspiration from this god of wisdom.

Just like it is now.

"Great God of Wisdom, please grant me a solution to this problem..."

At midnight, Beske, the second-generation carpenter, prayed to the distant stars.

"We need to improve Tatunbto's defenses. Please tell me how to solve the current problem..."

As Beskay prayed, a star in the distant sky suddenly began to twinkle.

Meanwhile, some information that was not originally in Bessey's mind also appeared.

That's a way to burn the entire planet into glass. If we could build such an ultimate weapon over five generations, no one would dare to run wild on this planet again.

Clearly, this is an extremely practical method; once activated, it can kill any enemy that dares to come to this planet—including themselves, of course.

That's not what Beska wanted.

"Great God of Wisdom, please hear me out."

With that, Beskey spoke up again.

"All I want is a way to create a mammoth..." "...?"

The twinkling stars in the distance paused for a rare moment.

This was the first time Beske had sensed that the God of Wisdom had shown such unusual emotions. In fact, it could be said that this was the first time the God of Wisdom had shown any additional reaction beyond simply bestowing knowledge upon the entire Tatunbuto community.

Beska could even clearly sense the questioning he was being posed by the god of wisdom.

"No, I'm not crazy."

As he said this, Beskey began to explain his reasons for thinking this way.

Although Tatungbhut has indeed gained some ability at the moment, he still relies on the Serpent God for survival. At least until Tatungbhut actually builds his own spaceship, the Serpent God's formidable combat power will be the foundation of Tatungbhut's existence.

This means that, whether from a worship perspective or a security perspective, solving the problem of the serpent god's diet is Tatunbhut's top priority at present.

Previously, they had no corresponding ideas, since increasing food production was not something that could be done overnight—but not long ago, the Snake God gave them an idea that wasn't exactly an idea.

That is, to first produce some mammoths to satisfy the serpent god's craving.

Of course, they couldn't get their hands on the original mammoths, since according to the serpent god, those hairy giants had been extinct for who knows how long—but a living person won't let themselves be held back by their own desires, so they came up with some other solutions.

That is, to make ordinary elephants grow hair.

"There shouldn't be any difference, right?"

The people of Tatunbto were thinking this way when they were discussing the plan.

After all, they had never seen a real mammoth, so they couldn't compare the differences between the two. But at least in the snake god's description, the so-called mammoth was a hairy elephant.

As for how elephants would survive in the hot environment after they grew hair, they hadn't thought about it yet. In their opinion, this might be the reason why mammoth meat is special. But how to make elephants grow hair is another troublesome matter. Even though they were already able to create huge steam serpents, they still had no inspiration for this kind of thing.

"So... I can only ask you."

Looking up at the distant stars, Beskay's expression turned pleading.

It wasn't just Beskay; everyone in Tatunbhu was praying to that distant god of wisdom, asking him to bring them inspiration.

So that they would know how to make elephants, which have little hair, grow thick, long hair.

Unfortunately, their prayers ultimately went unanswered, which left them quite disheartened, feeling that something was wrong with them.

However, what they didn't know was that the distant god of wisdom was no longer in the mood to answer any of their prayers.

The two-headed eagle leaning on its long staff wished it could fly over and kill the foolish giant snake on the spot.
