Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 69: Greedy Snake

Wei Huo landed in front of the Dragon Gate steadily. Before he could do anything, the Black Dragon’s voice came from outside the cave. “You must have a death wish if you stole my possession!”

However, at that moment, the Wild Giant roared, “Black Dragon, how dare you descend?”

Boom!

A loud sound came from outside the cave, followed by violent sounds of battle. Sounds of ice howling and flames raging were heard. The entire snowy mountain was shaking, and snow and melted snow were falling from the cave’s entrance.

Wei Huo ignored them and walked toward the Dragon Gate alone. He knocked on the Dragon Gate and tried to find a way to open it.

Was there a trap?

Wei Huo searched the area and knocked on every wall. However, there were no clues.

Wei Huo then observed the golden dragon carved on the Dragon Gate. The golden dragon was lifelike as it stared at him with its pair of dragon eyes. No matter where you stood, those dragon eyes seemed to be staring at you, giving you the feeling that the golden dragon was alive.

The Wild Giant and the Black Dragon were still fighting outside the cave. A hole was torn open in the cave, and sunlight shone on the golden dragon’s body. In the end, the golden dragon’s scales emitted a seven-colored radiance.

Wei Huo immediately moved forward to check on the scales, which had turned seven different colors. Wei Huo touched the scales with his hand and realized that they could move. He tried to move them until they reached 180 degrees. The entire golden gate let out a dragon’s roar.

It was a deafening roar. Wei Huo covered his ears as the two colossi outside the cave stopped fighting.

As people said, Dragons have reverse scales, and they will be angered when one touches them. The golden dragon’s scales were all neatly arranged, yet I insisted on twisting one of them. No wonder the golden dragon is angry.

The golden dragon was furious, but the golden gate gradually opened. Wei Huo walked in but stopped after a few steps.

A gigantic LCD screen had appeared in front of him. There were two words on the screen: Dragon Transformation.

Two more words were under them: Start Game.

Wei Huo was stunned. Was this another mini-game? However, he had never heard of such a mini-game. It felt awesome to be transformed into a python!

Wei Huo did not dare be careless. He stretched his fingers, patted his head, and took a few deep breaths. Once he was fully prepared, he tapped the start button.

A moment later, a familiar game sound effect was heard. Soon, a three-meter-long snake appeared on the screen. Not far ahead of it was a small glowing red dot.

Wei Huo was speechless.

Isn’t this... just a greedy snake?

The snake on the screen started moving forward automatically. Wei Huo could change the snake’s direction by clicking. Every time a small dot was eaten, the snake would lengthen by another slot. Gradually, the snake became long.

This greedy game was no match for Wei Huo. The screen was only so big, and there were only so many dots. Sooner or later, the snake would grow to the same size as the screen. What would happen to the game then? Would it be cleared?

Wei Huo clicked repeatedly. The snake grew larger and longer, turned into a huge snake, and finally filled the screen.

“Time to clear this level, right?”

Wei Huo clicked on the last dot on the screen. The snake’s head turned around and slithered toward the last dot. However, at that moment, something unexpected happened. The screen cracked and the snake’s head popped out of the dot.

Wei Huo was so shocked that he nearly jumped back. However, he realized that the shattering screen was a special effect created by the screen itself. Just like a 3D movie, the screen did not crack.

The greedy game was not over yet. The snake broke the system and its own limits. It then tore through the void, rushed out of the game, and arrived in reality!

Of course, it was still the reality on the screen.

The gluttonous snake rushed out of the computer screen and arrived at the player’s home. Wei Huo clicked on the player and the gluttonous snake swallowed the player a moment later.

Wei Huo was speechless.

The 2D game had become a 3D game of gluttony and snake-eating simulation.

Wei Huo continued controlling the snake. The snake, which was greedy for food, ate almost everything, including computers, tables, chairs, and doors. As long as its mouth could swallow something, it could eat it in one bite. Most importantly, every time the snake ate something, its body would grow larger.

At that moment, Wei Huo thought of something. The limit has been removed. Evolution is limitless.

Wei Huo did not have any time to think about this, as the gluttonous snake was still moving forward. Wei Huo had to control its direction. This time, he steered it onto the street. The gluttonous snake’s body had grown to about 50 to 60 meters long, and its head was as huge as a giant python’s. That was why the pedestrians fled in all directions in terror.

The gluttonous snake continued its journey. It ate cars and road signs until the army appeared. Numerous tanks and helicopters attacked the snake, whose body would shrink every time it was attacked.

In order to avoid death, Wei Huo could only control the gluttonous snake and make it swallow the planes and tanks. Every time the gluttonous snake swallowed a tank, a gun barrel would evolve from its body and automatically fire missiles.

Wei Huo was confused. Was the snake still greedy?

The gluttonous snake had evolved into a robot. Its body was still growing, and normal human weapons could no longer do anything to it. Humans could only choose to use nuclear weapons.

The moment the humans in the game chose nuclear weapons, a countdown and a quest appeared on the top left corner of Wei Huo’s screen.

“Please find and use nuclear weapons within an hour. Otherwise, the game will be over.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

This was no longer about gluttony!

Wei Huo controlled the gluttonous snake and charged into a military base before crashing into a mountain. The mountain was hollowed out, and there was a lot of military equipment hidden in it. Most importantly, there were nuclear weapons in the mountain!

The gluttonous snake swallowed a few nuclear warheads with one bite and evolved again in a moment. Its body emitted radiation and expanded once again. At that moment, humans could no longer resist the gluttonous snake.

The snake continued its journey. It ate the tall building, swallowed the mountain, and swallowed every nuclear weapon thrown at it. It would then become larger and stronger.

The greedy snake circled the Earth and ate everything it could. In the end, it lifted its head and stared at the sky. Its eyes met Wei Huo’s.

Wei Huo frowned. In the snake’s eyes, Wei Huo saw a will that surpassed everything.

A moment later, the gluttonous snake jumped up and charged toward the screen.

The screen cracked again!
