Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility-Chapter 74 – Integration of Demon Beast Clans

Inside a natural cave on Monkey Mountain.

Huang Mao lay on a stone bench, with two giant pythons, a small black snake, and a white fox resting behind him.

In front of him were dozens of ape demon beasts, crouching respectfully.

"Tell me, what has happened to the ape tribe these days? Why are there only a few of you left?" Huang Mao asked indifferently.

"Reporting to the king, three days ago, our previous king was captured by a golden eagle," said the long-haired giant ape, the strongest among the apes besides Huang Mao.

"A golden eagle?" Huang Mao's face showed doubt.

"That golden eagle is a first-tier Demon King, having just ascended not long ago. However, it possesses a strange flute that can suppress the combat power of demon beasts. That's how our previous king was taken away," the long-haired giant ape explained.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Long sensed something was amiss.

An eagle with a flute? Could it be—

The eyes of Xiao Long and the other demons widened as they all thought of three words!

Beast Taming Sect!

The Beast Taming Sect had come here and even captured the demon king of the ape tribe?

"After the king was captured, the ape tribe fell into chaos. All the tenth-tier Demon Generals fought to become the new king, leading to internal strife. In this turmoil, the ape tribe was divided into countless factions, and we are just one of them," the long-haired giant ape said bitterly.

"However, now that we have a new king, once the news spreads, they will all return," the long-haired giant ape said with a forced smile.

The long-haired giant ape glanced at Xiao Long and Da Hei and Er Hei, as if recalling something, and added, "By the way, our ape tribe's arch-enemy, the Ten Thousand Snake King, also seems to have been captured. We haven't seen any trace of it recently."

Da Hei and Er Hei exchanged glances.

The Ten Thousand Snake King!

They had once fought against the Ten Thousand Snake King. Although they couldn't defeat it, the Ten Thousand Snake King couldn't do anything to them either.

They originally planned to come today to kill and devour the Ten Thousand Snake King, but it was captured by the Beast Taming Sect halfway through, leaving them with indescribable feelings.

Huang Mao also wore a complex expression, a mix of regret and disappointment.

He had wanted to personally defeat the monkey king who drove him away, but it was taken by humans instead.

Although it saved him some trouble, it left Huang Mao feeling empty inside, unable to describe the sensation.

"I'll give you a task: gather those scattered tribes and tell them the new king has arrived. If anyone refuses, they can challenge me!"

"Yes, my king!"

The apes responded in unison and dispersed.

Huang Mao looked at Xiao Long, "Boss, what do you think is going on?"

"I've been training hard for over a month, finally gaining the strength to oppose a Demon King, and yet..."

Huang Mao sat on the ground, holding his head in his hands, looking troubled.

It was like climbing a mountain with great difficulty, only to find nothing at the top.

"Why are you so troubled? It's just that your opponent was taken out by someone else!" Xiao Long scolded.

"You carry the bloodline of the ancient giant ape tribe, yet you consider a mere Demon King your opponent. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Xiao Long's words instantly enlightened Huang Mao.

Huang Mao's eyes brightened, feeling as if the clouds had parted to reveal the blue sky.

"Thank you, boss!" Huang Mao scratched his head, grinning foolishly.

"The matter of the ape tribe is in your hands. Don't make any mistakes!"

"Understood!" Huang Mao replied.

Xiao Long turned and crawled out of the cave. With Huang Mao's current strength, reclaiming the ape tribe would be a piece of cake.

Xiao Bai and Da Hei and Er Hei also exited the cave, following closely behind.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think the Beast Taming Sect's purpose is in capturing those demon kings?" Xiao Bai asked, blinking her big eyes as she walked beside Xiao Long.

Xiao Long chuckled coldly and asked in return, "Let me ask you, if you were the sect master of the Beast Taming Sect and wanted to drag me out of the vast mountains, what would be the best method?"

Xiao Bai was momentarily stunned by the question.

Clearing the land was indeed a feasible method, but the cost was too high, and it could even trigger a beast tide if not done properly.

Da Hei and Er Hei also looked puzzled.

Xiao Long said, "Capturing the demon kings is simply to control them, thereby indirectly controlling several demon beast tribes. By using the search abilities of the demon beast tribes, they aim to drag me out."

Xiao Bai suddenly understood, "So that's how it is!"

"The cost of directly clearing the land is too high, but if they control a few demon beast tribes beforehand and use them to pave the way, they might achieve their goal without losing a single soldier."

Xiao Long's eyes were cold.

"The Beast Taming Sect is indeed not like the Fire Cloud Sect; they have some brains."

Although the Beast Taming Sect's move was extremely clever, once seen through by Xiao Long, it was all in vain.

Since Qin Feng wanted to use the demon beast tribes, Xiao Long would unite all the demon beasts first and see who would be the final winner.

"Xiao Bai, Da Hei, Er Hei, let's go stir up some trouble!"

Xiao Long crawled in a certain direction.

…………

Demon beast tribes usually gather in areas rich in Spiritual Qi. Using Xiao Bai's ability to sense Spiritual Qi, Xiao Long could easily locate each demon beast tribe.

Moments later, the group arrived in front of a cavernous pit. His spiritual sense had already detected a large number of snakes inside.

This was a snake pit!

"Boss, this was originally the old lair of the Ten Thousand Snake King. It had hundreds of snakes under its command. With Er Hei and I working together, our strength is not inferior to a Demon King, so suppressing them won't be a problem," Da Hei said.

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you."

"Yes, boss!"

Da Hei and Er Hei crawled into the snake pit one after the other.

Boom!

Two massive pythons crashed down, shaking the entire snake pit, waking countless sleeping snake demons.

Cold eyes turned towards Da Hei and Er Hei.

"I am here on behalf of the boss to subdue you. Who dares to defy me?" Da Hei raised his snake head, his cold eyes sweeping over them, his terrifying aura crushing down, forcing countless snakes to lower their heads.

Of course, there were those who refused to submit.

Immediately, a twenty-meter-long spotted giant python lunged forward. This snake was a tenth-tier Demon General, second only to the Ten Thousand Snake King in the past, and now the leader of the snake group.

"Courting death!" Er Hei opened his mouth wide, spewing out a blast of True Qi. The spotted giant python, burned by the True Qi, writhed in agony like a squirming worm, and within a few breaths, it lay motionless on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Da Hei bit the tail of the spotted giant python and swallowed it whole. Using the Devour Spirit technique, he digested it in just a few breaths.

The scene fell silent.

Even the strongest among them, the spotted giant python, had been eaten. What use was there in challenging them further?

This was the law of survival for snakes: the weak are prey to the strong!

"King!"

"King!" All the snakes lowered their heads and cried out in unison.

"You have killed a level 20 wild monster, gaining 36,000 experience points! (Level challenge experience bonus 60%, team reward 20%)"

After probing the situation inside with his spiritual sense, Xiao Long smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave.

"Let's go, Xiao Bai, to the next tribe!"
