Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Chapter 708: Chapter 404: Do You Have Any Sense of Morality at all! _2
 

“Maybe it’s due to lack of light, the Flame Rabbits are the most numerous. What are those things next to them? Flea monsters? Why are they so much smaller? Aren’t they carnivorous? How come they’re squeezed together with the Flame Rabbits and everything’s all peaceful?” Durken said.

“Wait a minute, what’s that curled up on the Eternity Road over there? So big a snake, can it really survive here?” Negris exclaimed.

The bulge closest to the farm started to move, raising a head that turned out to be that of a snake.

The Eternity Road is about fifty to sixty meters wide, with a depth of only four to five meters. That is to say, the perimeter is at most one hundred and thirty or so. The snake coiled more than once around the Eternity Road, indicating a length of nearly two hundred meters.

What didn’t match its length was its diameter of only about three meters. If it weren’t for its head, one would think it was more like an earthworm.

The Giant Snake lifted its head, opening its Big Mouth towards Ange. The snake showed off its sharp teeth, which made it even less snake-like—snakes ingest food by swallowing, they don’t need so many teeth.

“It doesn’t look like a snake, more like a worm. It’s baring its teeth at us, what should we do?” Negris asked.

Durken rolled up his sleeves: “Let me show you a little magic.” He said and then charged in.

For some reason, those flea monsters and Flame Rabbits didn’t dare to attack him. Durken rushed in front of the Giant Snake and thrashed it till it was all battered, then dragged it right back.

Negris was dumbfounded: “Is this what you call magic? Are you this strong? You can pull a two-hundred-meter-long Giant Snake?”

Durken replied matter-of-factly: “I’m punching people with my fists. Isn’t that magic? You can too. There’s no gravity here, you should be able to do it.”

The King of Alchemy’s punches could indeed be termed magic.

Ange went up and directly lifted the head of the Giant Snake in front of him.

The Giant Snake’s eyes filled with fear. Oh my god, one tiny creature had beaten it until it was dazed, and now another tiny creature had lifted it up. The power in their hands made it feel like any struggle was in vain. Who had it messed with?@@novelbin@@

“Can you, talk?” Ange asked.

The Giant Snake hurriedly nodded its head, but it forgot that its lower jaw was being held by Ange. When it nodded, its head did not move; instead, its body arched up.

Ange let it go and looked at Negris.

With that glance, Negris knew it was his turn. He fluttered his pages and flew in front of the Giant Snake, asking, “You’re an earthworm, right?”

Negris had previously sealed the Blank God Statue and hadn’t had time to return, so he still appeared as the Bronze Book. Upon seeing a talking book, the Giant Snake was rather taken aback: “What is an earthworm?”

“You’ve never seen an earthworm? There are no earthworms here? The slender burrowing creature in the mud.” Negris turned a blank page open, projecting the image of an earthworm on it.

“Oh, so that’s called an earthworm? They’re there, Flame Rabbits often dig them up to eat.” After saying this, the Giant Snake suddenly reacted, “Are you calling me a little bug?!”

The Giant Snake angrily opened its Big Mouth, Durken immediately jumped up, slapping its head and leaving it disoriented once again.

The Giant Snake’s head drooped down, grudgingly admitting, “I’m a little bug…”

“Who did you learn human common language from?” Negris asked again.

The Giant Snake looked puzzled: “Learn? I’ve known it since I was little.”

“No one taught you, you’ve known since young, inherited through bloodline or Soul Infusion? Judging by your manner, it does not seem like a bloodline inheritance, it’s more likely someone infused it into you, how long have you been alive?” Negris asked.

The Giant Snake asked in confusion: “What does ‘how long’ mean?”

After some communication, Negris found that the Giant Snake had no concept of time or lifespan. Eventually, Durken had to infuse the concept of time into it; only then it was able to calculate: “I’ve been alive for one-thousand-one-hundred years.”

“It must have been Your Majesty who infused it into him. Have you seen this kind of creature?” Negris projected a Black Crystal Skeleton on a page of the book.

The Giant Snake shook its head.

“Shoot, you know nothing, what use are you. Negris began to grumble disappointedly when he couldn’t get the answers he wanted.

“Forget it, just tell us why you guys are staying here, peacefully. Why don’t you eat all those flea monsters and Flame Rabbits?” Negris asked.

The Giant Snake couldn’t help rolling its eyes, everyone could see the despising look in its eyes. Evidently, Negris was asking a stupid question.

“If I eat everything, there’ll be nothing left. I’ll starve to death.” The Giant Snake reluctantly answered this stupid question.

“So, aren’t you hungry now?” Negris asked.

“Hungry. Endured. Slept.” The Giant Snake replied.

After a round of conversation, they finally understood why carnivores and herbivores could coexist peacefully here.

Flame Rabbits eat the grass that grows in the Farm Barrier, flea monsters eat rabbits, but they do so sparingly, mainly choosing the weak and sickly ones to eat.

As a result, these flea monsters are malnourished. But because their numbers are a few magnitude orders less than the rabbits, they could maintain their population stability by rationing their food.

“So, these flea monsters went to the Master Plane, had their fill of food, and hence, they grew tall and strong? Then, what do you eat?” Negris asked.

“I eat them. Flea monsters? What are fleas?” The Giant Snake looked back at the flea monsters. Apparently, they didn’t have a name here.
