Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code

In fact, Qin Ming was not particularly surprised that Keda would favor a snake as a future partner.

Because when Keda was still young, he had already formed a very good friendship with his senior brother, Orochi.

However, this snake is not that snake.

Qin Ming's pupils contracted as he looked at the photos taken by Keda through the children's watch, and he leaned back a few feet.

The photo shows a giant snake coiled on a rock. The close-up of its head occupies nearly half of the frame, with its huge, angular, triangular head facing the camera.

Poison! This is real poison!

Then he noticed the snake's shape. Although the photo was taken from above, the snake's body was coiled several times on the rock, each coil incredibly thick, its scales stretched open to reveal the light-colored membrane underneath.

This isn't edema; it's genuine robustness.

Qin Ming stared at the snake's body for a few seconds, and a dangerous thought popped into his mind—could it be that Little Fatty had corrupted his family's aesthetic tastes?

He quickly suppressed the thought and dared not think about it any further.

He was afraid that he might also find the snake's round shape rather cute the next second, otherwise his aesthetic sense would be beyond saving.

Qin Ming barely managed to control his frozen expression, tilted the screen closer to his knees, cleared his throat, and asked, "Keda, tell me your selection criteria?"

"Quack!" Keda puffed out his chest and answered confidently, "To be able to fatten himself up like this in the wild, he must be really capable! I'm rooting for him!"

Qin Ming fell silent; in that short time, he had considered many possibilities.

For example, this snake has a very strong sense of territory and outstanding fighting ability;

For example, its venom has a special evolutionary direction, which could play a key role in future battles.

For example, Keda didn't think too much about it; it just looked pleasing to the eye, and the black hole led the way.

But he never expected that Keda's criteria for selecting snakes would be like this.

"It's true, although my team doesn't have any large birds of prey, we have quite a few grey falcons. Few snakes dare to not avoid us; if it dares to do so, it must have something to rely on!"

Keda probably sensed the emotions contained in Qin Ming's silence and quickly added something.

Qin Ming nodded and opened the topic to all members for discussion. He turned to them and asked, "What do you all think?"

"Hmm, boss, can it combine with the turtle to form the Black Tortoise?" The chubby boy raised his head, his eyes filled with indescribable anticipation, and even the patterns on the turtle's shell seemed to brighten a bit.

Qin Ming remained silent for a few seconds. He didn't want to shatter the child's illusions, but some things...

He carefully chose his words, trying to make his voice sound gentle yet objective: "Perhaps that's possible. But in legends, Xuanwu is a combination of a tortoise and a snake. Let's not talk about where this legend comes from, but just to say that if we want to reach the level and ability of Xuanwu in mythology, we still have a very long way to go."

"That turtle supports it!" The naive little fat didn't understand his boss's painstaking efforts. He only grasped the four words "there is such a possibility," and automatically filtered out the long string of arguments that followed.

Qin Ming sighed, giving up on arguing with Little Fatty about the Xuanwu issue, and turned to White Wolf: "What does Cang Xuan think?"

Cang Xuan lay down to the side, silent for a moment, as if recalling a long-forgotten past event, and slowly said, "When I was young, I encountered a king cobra, it was quite a thrilling experience."

"Snakes are quite formidable fighters. With a single hit, they're practically unbeatable against most animals. And with our help, their success rate will only be higher."

Cang Xuan finished his statement calmly, his tone devoid of exaggeration; every sentence was a summary derived from practical experience.

Qin Ming noticed that Cang Xuan was already viewing the snake from the perspective of someone on the same side.

This attitude carries more weight than any affirmation!

At this point, Qin Ming understood the situation. The spirit beasts' attitudes were highly consistent, which saved him some trouble.

He flipped his phone back over and began searching for the scientific name of the venomous snake in the photo.

It is over two meters long, with brown and green stripes, a triangular head, and a robust body.

Qin Ming stared at the image on the screen, his brows slowly furrowing... Why does this snake look so familiar?

"Gah, it's a 'Little Green Dragon,' carried on a duck's back!"

Keda craned his neck to look at the phone screen and announced his name in a matter-of-fact tone.

He had memorized information on protected animals on Earth, so he naturally recognized this infamous venomous snake.

"Mangshan pit viper?" Qin Ming's voice rose slightly by half a tone.

He wasn't unfamiliar with the name; it was a name that would be familiar to anyone who cares about wildlife conservation.

The Mangshan pit viper is a giant venomous snake unique to China. It is highly venomous, can grow to over two meters in length, and can weigh over three kilograms. It is a well-known "heavy-armored" snake.

The key issue is this snake; it's too "torturous"!

"Quack, the duck asked, and the snake said the world is so big, it wants to go out and see it."

When Keda relayed the message, he even imitated the other person's tone, tilting his head slightly and showing a hint of appreciation for his new friend in his eyes.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Qin Ming zoomed in on the photo, staring at the triangular snake head that occupied most of the frame, and fell into deep thought.

Judging from the photo, this Mangshan pit viper is quite old.

The wear and tear on the scales, the patterns around the eyes, and the composed and unhurried demeanor are not things that a young snake can fake.

A large venomous snake that has lived in the wild for most of its life has enough combat experience and its survival ability has been tested over time; its qualifications are beyond doubt.

But its remaining natural lifespan is probably not very long.

If he cannot transform, he may die of old age in some mountain forest in a few years. By making a pact with Qin Ming, he can start a new life and see a wider world.

This is a huge profit for the snake.

For Qin Ming, it wasn't a loss. Cang Xuan was right; with everyone's help, the snakes' attack methods could very well end the battle directly.

That's right...

"When shall we set off?" Keda excitedly flapped its wings, its snow-white feathers billowing in the wind.

His claws stomped on the floor several times, unable to restrain himself any longer.

Qin Ming's lips twitched slightly.

His hand didn't stop scrolling through his phone screen, which prominently displayed the latest search results: "First aid measures after being bitten by a Mangshan pit viper."

He turned to the next page, "Composition of Mangshan Pit Torture Venom and Fatal Cases".

Turn the page again to "How to make a will when encountering a large venomous snake in the wild".

His fingers flew across the screen, and his expression was visibly serious.

Keda tilted his head, unable to understand why the boss was being so indecisive even after making a decision.

Qin Ming put the third article about encountering venomous snakes into a folder, looked up, and replied in as calm a tone as possible, "Wait a bit while I learn a few more snake-repelling techniques."

The problem now is that, in an environment like Blue Star where spiritual energy is scarce, direct contact is necessary to transfer spiritual energy.

If a contract is to establish mutual trust, coercive methods are not advisable.

But this snake was truly venomous, and its venom was plentiful and filling. Qin Ming was panicked...
