"What exactly did I eat last night?"

This question made Ling Ping'an think about it for almost the entire morning.

Unfortunately...

There was no answer.

This was too strange.

This was the first time Ling Ping'an had encountered such a supernatural incident in his life.

This made the young web novelist's imagination run wild.

"System!" he shouted, "Come out!"

There was no reaction.

"With my true Qi, unite the heavens and earth!" He raised his hand, "Lord Lei, help me!"

There was still no reaction.

He closed his eyes again and circulated his pubic region, trying to circulate his internal energy..

There was still no reaction.

So...

"It seems that what happened last night is really going to become an unsolved mystery..." he said.

"Sigh..." unable to find an answer, he could only pick up the remote control and turn on the television, intending to watch the news to forget about this matter.

This was also one of his most commonly used ways to relieve stress.

Whenever he encountered trouble, he would watch the news to distract his attention.

When he finished watching the news, he would forget about the trouble.

As long as he did not think about it, he would naturally not be troubled. If he was not troubled, he would not need to put in any effort.

The television turned on and the screen lit up.

An unfamiliar scene appeared on the screen.

It was actually international news!

"This station's news..."

"The spokesperson of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the North Kunlun Republic said this morning that the country's security forces raided the headquarters of the anti-government forces in the western border city of Salva at 2:00 a.m. It was imperial time this morning..."

"Killed their leader on the spot and purged the anti-government forces that were entrenched in the area..."

"It is reported that this operation was coordinated by the intelligence departments and armed forces of many countries..."

"The spokesman said that the operation was 'benevolent and righteous' and did not hurt civilians..."

Ling Ping'an raised his head and looked at the television screen. Tanks were driving into the city.

On both sides of the road, the people were welcoming them.

"Oh!" He exclaimed, "That's great!"

The civil war in the North Kunlun Republic had lasted for more than twenty years.

Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured, resulting in millions of refugees.

The Federal Empire had tried many times to mediate, but there had been no results.

Now, the dawn of peace had finally appeared.

This was very good!

Ling Ping'an felt gratified for them.

More importantly, the word 'benevolent' had appeared in the news.

This meant that the authorities of the North Kunlun Republic this time were willing to reconcile with their people.

In Ling Ping'an's opinion, no matter what, the worst peace was better than the best war.

Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an finally stopped thinking about the supernatural incident last night.

...

Li An'an finally saw the huge ba-serpent.

The huge body of the ba-serpent was coiled up in the spacious river.

The huge body of the ba-serpent was dozens of meters long, and it looked a bit creepy.

However...

The two blue eyes of the ba-serpent were as clear as a child's and full of curiosity.

"Dear fellow..." the ba-serpent spoke in human language, "I heard that you wanted to see me?"

Li An'an looked at the huge creature with curiosity in her eyes. She nodded and asked, "Mr. Ba-serpent, how did you grow so big?"

The huge snake head was also full of confusion, "To be honest, I don't know either..."

"Before I awakened my intelligence, I seemed to have been very long..."

It slowly lowered its head. Its black head was like a small car. "The scientists of the Blackguard once tested me..."

"They cut off some of my flesh and blood to be tested..."

"I had hoped that I could use this to find my own kind... but..." its eyes were filled with desolation, "The DNA test showed that my genes are different from all the snakes in existence..."

"Moreover, in terms of genetic similarity, my relationship with humans is closer..."

"So..." the ba-serpent's brains slowly sank into the water, "To be honest, I don't know if I'm a snake or something else..."

"I'm warm-blooded..."

"Scientists have measured my body temperature, and it has always been constant at 37 degrees..."

Li An'an and Chu Weiwei's curiosity was piqued as they listened.

A giant snake, the legendary ba-serpent, was genetically unrelated to snakes, but similar to humans?

And it was warm-blooded?

This completely overturned their common sense.

"Mr. Ba-serpent..." Chu Weiwei suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that you often dream of fragments?"

This was what she was curious about and what she wanted to figure out the most!

"Yes!" The giant snake said in the water, "I often dream of fragments..."

"It seems that something scolded me in my dreams..."

"Unfortunately, I can't hear or understand the language of those things..."

"I just vaguely remember that thing seems to be a giant snake..."

"Giant snake?" Chu Weiwei didn't understand and asked, "Is that also a ba-serpant?"

"No!" The giant snake answered, "Although I don't know its origin... I have a strong aversion to it in my dreams!"

"To be honest with you two ladies..." the ba-serpant said, "Last night, I dreamed of it again..."

"Vaguely, I seem to see it constantly colliding with something..."

"It's scolding me as it collides..."

"My feeling is... it seems to think that I've taken over its place..."

"But..."

"The place I'm staying at now is all allocated by the Blackguard..."

"It should be looking for the Blackguard!"

Chu Weiwei listened, but she slowly furrowed her brows.

As a descendant of the Chu family, Chu Weiwei naturally knew a lot of things, for example, she knew that there was a mythical grade invasion.

An ancient God had returned from his slumber.

The mythical grade of the past slowly appeared in reality.

The Beizhou and Nanzhou naturally had their own ancient mythical grade.

But until now, there was no sign of the mythical grade invasion of the Beizhou and Nanzhou.

On the contrary, the legendary ba-serpant of the metropolitan territory appeared in this rainforest.

The Nine Cauldrons of the mythical grade had been hit by them in this large river.

Now, the ba-serpant had said that she had dreamed of a large snake scolding it in her dreams.

So...

"Mr. Ba-serpant, what did the experts of the Blackguard say about these things?" Chu Weiwei asked.

The ba-serpant, who was swimming in the large river, laughed when she heard this and replied, "I heard that this seems to be 'mythical grade'!"

Chu Weiwei and Li An'an looked at each other.

"Mythical grade item?" The two girls thought.

At this moment, Li An'an's phone rang.

She picked it up and answered the call.

"En..." she looked at Chu Weiwei and said, "We understand..."

After hanging up the phone, Li An'an said to the huge ba-serpent, "Mr. Ba-serpent, we have to take our leave..."

"The Blackguard has summoned us back to the metropolitan territory!"

"Okay!" The huge ba-serpant swam to the bottom of the river and brought a bright flower to Li An'an. "This flower... it's a spiritual item that grows at the bottom of the river. I often eat it..."

"It's very beneficial..."

"It's rare that two fellows are willing to talk to me... I'll give it to you!"

Li An'an took the flower and asked, "Mr. Ba-serpant, what kind of flower is this?"

"The expert of the Blackguard named it the blood orchid..."
