Chapter 417: The Intense Fight of a Zombie, Dog, and Snake

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

By the look of this king cobra, it was at least twenty meters long. It looked like a small hill, almost filling the pit up by coiling in it.

Lin Qiao was curious about what the king cobra fed on that allowed it to grow so large. Also, she felt that mutant snakes were quite often seen after the apocalypse.

Seeing all those smaller snakes around this place, Lin Qiao figured that it might be living on other snakes. She knew that large snakes would eat small snakes sometimes, as long as those small snakes were from different families.

She stared at that huge snake, wondering how many snakes it had to eat for one meal to fulfill its stomach.

Hiss! The king cobra reared up its head to gaze at Lin Qiao aggressively, with its half-meter-long forked tongue darting out from time to time.

Lin Qiao flicked her claws. It seemed that only powerful physical attacks could hurt this snake. The black mist had failed to destroy its skin and scales, so she had to use her claws to break its scales.

As she prepared to jump into the pit to fight the black king cobra, she suddenly recalled that Viney had warned her about not fighting too intensely.

Thinking about that, she paused all of a sudden.

No intense close combat? How was she supposed to fight this battle then?

Sneak attack seemed to be the only option left.

Thinking of sneak attack, Lin Qiao suddenly had an idea. She had a dog in her space! She decided to bring out the dog and let it fight the snake, then find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

So, she immediately flashed into her space.

As Lin Qiao suddenly disappeared and her vibe was gone, the king cobra was puzzled for a second, and then began looking all around watchfully.

It carefully scanned the surrounding area for a couple of times, but still didn’t see a trace of Lin Qiao. By that time, the king cobra had lowered its raised head and buried it in its coiled body, only exposing its eyes and jaws.

Lin Qiao entered her space and directly showed up next to the zombie dog.

“Awooo…” The zombie dog sprung up from the ground as it was startled by the suddenly appearing Lin Qiao. It hopped to the other side and bared its teeth to Lin Qiao while uttering unhappy roars.

“Er… er…”

Lin Qiao rested her hands on her waist and said, “Oi, oi, are you mad at me now? Do you want to be beaten up? I was going to let you out and have some fun, yet how dare you roar at me like that! Don’t you want to go out?”

She glanced at that water bowl and found that it was already emptied. The water in it had been drunk up, and not even a drop splashed out.

Hearing her words, the zombie dog paused for a second, then stared at her with glowing eyes. Next, it lowered its head and wagged its tail while approaching her.

“Awooo… Awo…” ‘I’ve been chained in this place for a very long time. You didn’t let me go, didn’t give me any food either. You only gave me a bowl of water… That is very inhuman… You’re abusing a dog!’

Lin Qiao looked at the dog and laughed, “Do you still remember that you’re a dog? Do you remember that you’ve already died, and that you’re a dead dog now?”

“Roar… bow-wow…” The zombie dog hopped toward her and let out strange barks.

Being chained up was so horrible. It wasn’t able to go anywhere. All it could do was to circle around this tree. By doing that, it wrapped the vine all on the tree, and as a result, it couldn’t even move for a while. After that, it circled in the opposite direction to free itself.

Many bite marks were left on the tree, but the tree was barely harmed. That meant that the dog couldn’t even bite into the tree!

Just now, hearing Lin Qiao talk about letting it out, the dog was surely excited. So now, as Lin Qiao seemed to go back on her word, the zombie dog hurriedly tried to show a good attitude to her.

“I’ll let you out and play,” said Lin Qiao, “But, if you run away, I’ll catch you and beat you to death. Do you understand that? I won’t even give you the water! Do you get it?”

“Roar…” Hearing about no water, the zombie dog began complaining. That water was great, and provided it energy! The water was able to boost the dog’s energy, and it also made it feel comfortable. After drinking that water, the dog felt as if its entire body was comforted. It couldn’t forget that feeling.

“Follow me if you want more of that water,” said Lin Qiao.

“Roar!” The zombie dog nodded quickly. In fact, it was willing to follow Lin Qiao now for a few reasons.

First, Lin Qiao had that magical water; second, she was able to communicate with it. It hadn’t really communicated with other animals or zombies before, so it was quite lonely. It was pretty miraculous that Lin Qiao and the dog were able to understand each other. And third, Lin Qiao was powerful; so the dog figured that staying with her would lead to a good life!

As the dog agreed without hesitation, Lin Qiao walked to the tree and untied it. After that, she held the vine and brought the dog out of the space.

Once Lin Qiao and the dog showed up, the king cobra which had been staying on alert immediately fixed its eyes on her. To the snake’s surprise, a dog was standing beside her.

In fact, the scent of zombies was not attractive to the king cobra at all. However, the strong pressure from Lin Qiao’s powerful vibe gave it no other choice but to stay vigilant.

Lin Qiao had no idea which level that king cobra was at. Judging by the fact that even her black mist could barely hurt it, she guessed that the snake was at level-five at least.

“Roar!” The zombie dog raised its head and gave a howl of excitement once it came out. And then, it was immediately attracted by the scent of the king cobra.

Normal zombies wouldn’t eat animals, but zombie beasts would. Most of them lived on raw meat before death, so after turning into zombies, they still fed on animals. They ate mutated animals as well, even though those tasted not as good as unmutated animals.

Therefore, the zombie dog was interested in the mutated king cobra once it spotted it.

Lin Qiao watched it slightly bend its forelimbs and gaze at the mutated snake in the pit.

“Go, bite it!” While speaking, Lin Qiao let go of the vine in her hand, and then the zombie dog darted down into the pit.

After that, Lin Qiao disappeared again.

“Hiss!” The king cobra widely opened its jaws toward the zombie dog and popped its fangs as the latter rushed down. But, the zombie dog wasn’t afraid of its fangs. It pounced on the snake’s coiled body which looked like a small hill, then bared its sharp teeth and bit.

When it bit the snake, the snake’s fangs sank into its body as well. A large amount of venom was injected into the dog’s body, yet did not manage to hurt it.

“Errr…” The zombie dog growled with a deep voice while violently pulling the snake outward. The snake’s body was soon uncoiled.

Hiss!

The zombie dog couldn’t feel pain, yet the snake could. It didn’t expect its strong scales to break under the dog’s teeth. The sharp dog teeth pierced into the snake’s body and tore it, making the giant snake struggle in pain.

The zombie dog tried to drag the snake out of the pit.

Right at that moment, Lin Qiao, who had been waiting for an opportunity, swung her sharp claws at the king cobra’s stomach, which was accidentally exposed because of the pain.

Puff!

As she expected, the scales on the king cobra’s stomach were relatively soft. Her claws broke the skin on the snake’s stomach and left a few long wounds.
