Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

The Azure Dragon Academy has a teleportation array that provides direct access to dungeons in the wild.

As a guardian beast, Su Chen possesses privileges comparable to the principal, allowing him to freely enter and exit any instance.

Arrive at the center of the teleportation array marked with a six-pointed star.

With a flash of light, Su Chen's enormous snake body quickly disappeared from its original spot.

This time, he entered a jungle instance.

I opened my eyes and saw ancient trees all around me, and a calm lake in front of me.

The lake quietly reflected Su Chen's current appearance.

The enormous black snake, over thirty meters long, had jet-black scales and golden eyes, looking both terrifying and majestic.

But that's not enough.

Men always have an inexplicable obsession with getting bigger.

Su Chen was the same.

He wanted to see where the limits of this body lay.

The hunt begins!

Su Chen flicked his tongue slightly, precisely sensing the subtle scent in the air.

"It's you."

Soon, he spotted a giant crocodile sunbathing by the lake.

【Ironclad Crocodile】

Race: Orc

[Level: Dangerous]

[Evolution Points gained from consuming: 400]

This creature was quite large, measuring over ten meters in length, and its entire body was covered in thick, dark blue scales that were harder than steel.

The fact that this armored crocodile dares to rest here so unguarded shows that it has become the dominant force in the instance, and neither the ferocious beasts nor the warriors who enter the instance dare to provoke it easily.

Su Chen slowly approached, the massive snake gliding silently through the grass.

ten meters.

five meters.

three meters.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the giant crocodile opened its eyes abruptly, a hint of fear appearing in its pupils.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

From the moment Su Chen set his sights on it, it was already a living corpse.

Just as the giant crocodile tried to escape, Su Chen's snake body shot out like a black lightning bolt.

Before the armored crocodile could react, an overwhelming force pressed down on it.

Su Chen's serpentine body coiled around the armored crocodile's body like a steel cable, tightly binding it.

The giant crocodile was terrified and struggled desperately, its thick tail lashing the ground wildly, smashing the rocks into pieces and sending fragments flying.

However, its thick armor, which it was so proud of, was as fragile as paper in the face of Su Chen's terrifying strangulation power.

The cracking sounds of bones breaking echoed repeatedly as fragments of bone pierced deep into its internal organs.

Just a few breaths later, the armored crocodile stopped struggling.

This dangerous dungeon overlord has completely stopped breathing!

Su Chen loosened his grip on the crocodile carcass, which he had twisted into a deformed shape, opened his snake mouth, and swallowed it whole.

[Ding! You have devoured the Ironclad Crocodile and gained 400 Evolution Points.]

"Only 400 points, that's so little," Su Chen complained.

Not only did he have very few evolution points, but his stomach was also far from full.

More prey are needed.

Just as Su Chen was about to continue searching for his next target, a rustling sound suddenly came from the surrounding bushes.

Dozens of scarlet eyes lit up from the bushes, and then, one after another, huge white rats jumped out.

The lead rat stared at Su Chen for a while, then swaggered to the front, raised a paw, and gave Su Chen the middle finger.

The next second, it spat fiercely on the ground, raised its chin defiantly, and its scarlet eyes were full of arrogance and disdain.

The other mice imitated them well and started spitting too.

A few of the bolder ones even jumped to within ten meters of Su Chen, letting out a series of mocking squeaks.

【Swift Rat】

Race: Orc

[Rank: Elite]

[Characteristics: Extremely fast, sharp claws and teeth, acts in groups, and has a very high intelligence, equivalent to a human child of about three years old]

[Evolution Points gained from consuming: 50 per animal]

Su Chen narrowed his snake-like eyes, a cold smile flashing within them.

Snakes are the natural enemy of rats.

The reason these Swift Rat dared to be so arrogant was clearly because they thought he was too big and clumsy to catch up with them.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated and provoked the wrong snake.

"If you like showing off, then let's make you fly!"

Su Chen opened the snake's mouth.

A purple ball of lightning instantly condensed and shot out from the snake's mouth, crashing down on the Swift Rat on the ground.

The Swiftwind Rats then realized something was wrong, their blood-red eyes widened, and they hurriedly tried to kick their legs and run away.

But how could they possibly match the speed of lightning?

A deafening roar!

Lightning exploded, and arcs of electricity spread in all directions like a spider web, instantly turning an area of ​​tens of meters into a lightning field.

Before these swift rats could even scream, they were engulfed by the violent electric current, roasted until they were charred and fragrant, flew into the air, and then crashed heavily to the ground.

Su Chen opened his huge mouth and began to elegantly enjoy the buffet that had been delivered to his door.

The rat meat was crispy and had a slightly charred, electric aroma; the taste was surprisingly good.

[Devouring 1 second-tier ferocious beast, Gale Rat]

[Devouring 1 second-tier ferocious beast, Gale Rat]

【…】

[Ding! You have devoured 86 Tier 2 ferocious beasts, Gale Rat, and gained 4300 evolution points.]

"Good, I'm already half full."

Su Chen let out a satisfied burp.

"I just don't know if there are any even stronger ferocious beasts in this dungeon."

"The stronger the target I devour, the more evolution points I can gain..."

Just as Su Chen was about to continue deeper into the jungle, he heard a cacophony of shouts.

"Run! Don't look back!"

"Damn it! Isn't this a Tier 2 dungeon? Why are there Fear-level Purple Lightning Wolves?!"

"This dungeon used to have a pack of lightning wolves, but now there aren't a single one left. It's likely that this purple lightning wolf devoured all its kind and completed its evolution!"

Deep in the jungle, several warriors covered in blood were desperately fleeing towards the exit of the dungeon, their faces filled with terror.

The conversation of the group reached Su Chen's ears.

"A fear-level ferocious beast is truly terrifying! Old Wang and his fellow third-tier martial artists couldn't even last a few seconds before being instantly killed!"

"There's another student who, although he didn't die, suffered a leg injury, and his chances of survival are probably slim."

"Judging from the school badge on that girl's clothes, she looks like... a student from Qinglong Academy?"
