"What's going on? Are they holding a celebration?"
Su Ji continued to walk forward.
After two blocks, he saw many colorful fruits along the way.
Some were as big as his fist, others only as small as marbles.
Some were on the street, some on rooftops, and some inside windows.
*Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch,*
A faint, tiny sound suddenly reached Su Ji's ears.
Someone?
Su Ji followed the sound.
Finally, near a bakery, he saw a line moving in the air.
He moved closer and took a careful look. It turned out to be a small snake, about an inch long.
It was only as thick as his finger.
There were also many small red fruits lined up at the entrance of the bakery.
They were only as big as marbles.
The crunching sound was made by the small snake eating the red fruits.
"Why is there a snake here?"
And why, after walking for so long, had he only seen this one snake?
Su Ji stared curiously at the little black snake for a while, and then suddenly noticed something.
— After eating the red fruits, the little black snake's body had actually grown longer!
Could this be a special kind of fruit that enhances the body or grants superpowers?
Had he arrived in a world of cultivation?
Thinking of this, Su Ji suddenly felt a little excited.
He didn't fight the little black snake for the fruits. He turned to the street next to him, picked up a fist-sized fruit, and started to eat it.
*Crunch, crunch,*
*Crunch, crunch,*
Two sounds, one large and one small, seemed to harmonize in the air.
As he ate, Su Ji felt like he was actually growing bigger and stronger.
*Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch,*
Gradually,
The two sounds became equal in volume.
Su Ji felt a subtle sense of unease.
He looked in the direction of the little black snake. Good heavens, in such a short time, it had grown to over a meter long!
And its body was as thick as his arm.
At this moment, the person and the snake had moved to a different street.
This street was filled with fist-sized fruits.
As Su Ji ate, he wondered if it was really okay to let the snake continue like this?
Did no one care?
Should he capture it first?
Lost in thought, Su Ji subconsciously moved further away from the little black snake.
He also ate the fruits faster.
*Crunch, crunch,*
*Crunch, crunch,*
After an unknown period of time, Su Ji, who was eating the red fruits, suddenly had an epiphany.
— Could that little black snake be a Snake game character?!
The kind that gets bigger and bigger the more it eats…
Until it becomes a giant snake.
Su Ji suddenly looked at the little black snake not far away.
In just this short while, it had already grown to over three meters long, and its body was twice as thick as before!
Moreover, he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but the little black snake seemed to be staring at him?
Had it been following him all along?!
As this thought crossed his mind, Su Ji felt something was wrong again.
He looked down and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He, he was actually a red fruit!
And a giant, super-sized red fruit!
"What in the world is going on?!"
Because of the unknown, coupled with the vague sense of danger, Su Ji's scalp tingled.
No, did he even have a scalp now?!
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Su Ji quickly ran towards the street ahead.
Rapidly moving away from the little black snake.
As he ran, he discovered… he seemed to be able to only roll forward on the ground?
Although he was moving quite fast.
…
The giant red fruit rolled on the ground, making a rumbling sound.
However, the black snake seemed to have locked onto Su Ji.
It was relentlessly pursuing him.
As it chased, it continued to eat the fruits along the way.
One bite after another.
One bite after another.
Its body was growing visibly larger and longer at an astonishing rate.
In a short while, it had transformed into a large python.
The black snake could no longer fly and, like Su Ji, could only move along the ground.
But even so, the black snake's speed was not slow at all.
As it moved, it made a distinct 'rustling' sound.
Sometimes it would trip over the decorations on the street.
*Bang! Bang!*
*Thump, thump—*
Listening to the sounds behind him, Su Ji had an idea.
If he kept running like this, it wouldn't work.
He would eventually be caught…
He scanned his surroundings and, as he passed a barbecue stall,
Su Ji paused and suddenly rammed into the barbecue cart.
The barbecue cart had wheels, but they were usually secured with stones, and it was on flat ground, so it wouldn't normally slide.
With Su Ji's collision, the barbecue cart broke free from the stones and slid forward a short distance.
*Bang!*
Su Ji continued to push forward.
Taking the barbecue cart with him, he reached a slope.
Then he gave a mighty shove!
*Rumble, rumble, rumble—*
The barbecue cart rolled straight down the slope.
Making a loud noise.
Midway, the charcoal and iron rack on the cart fell out.
Su Ji used this noise as cover to slip into a side street.
Then he hid inside a restaurant.
Stopping, motionless.
*Rustle—*
*Rustle—*
The sound of the giant snake slithering was clearly audible on the street.
From left to right.
Turning right, it veered onto another street.
Su Ji listened quietly as the sound faded into the distance and turned again.
It seemed to be looking for him.
Turn left, move forward, turn right…
At first, Su Ji hadn't noticed.
It wasn't until the rustling sound grew louder and closer.
That he suddenly realized.
Damn it!
The giant snake had circled around and was coming towards him!
At this moment, the giant snake suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the back door of the restaurant!
Crap!
Su Ji cursed inwardly.
He tensed his body and quickly rushed out the front door of the restaurant.
Almost the very next second after he exited,
The giant snake, already half a meter thick, burrowed into the restaurant from the back door!
*Bang, bang, bang!*
Due to its massive size, it caused chaos inside the shop.
Some items were crushed into dust by its sheer weight.
Su Ji felt a strong gust of wind following him and didn't even dare to look back.
He could only use his agility,
Weaving back and forth between shops and alleys,
Finally managing to create some distance between himself and the giant snake.
What to do, what to do?
Su Ji rolled along, his mind racing.
As he rolled, a tall building appeared in Su Ji's line of sight.
"Got it!"
Su Ji's mind raced, and he instantly changed direction, rolling towards the building.
Then, before the giant snake could catch up, he quickly entered the building and pressed the elevator button with his forehead.
*Ding—*
The elevator opened.
Su Ji quickly got inside.
Then he jumped slightly.
He pressed the button for the highest floor.
At this moment, the giant snake was already chasing him towards the building.
"Faster, faster, faster!"
Su Ji frantically pressed the elevator door closing button.
The elevator doors finally began to move.
Through the slowly closing elevator doors, he could see that half of the giant snake's head had already entered the building.
*Bang!*
Just as the giant snake rammed its head towards the elevator doors, the elevator finally closed and began to ascend.
"Please, please… a giant snake shouldn't be able to use an elevator, right?!"
Su Ji's heart pounded.
The elevator shaft was also very long. Even if it came in, it probably wouldn't be able to open its mouth, and might even fall downwards.
The numbers in the elevator gradually ticked upwards.
5… 10… 14, 15, 16…
*Crash—*
The sound of breaking glass echoed.
Su Ji had guessed the beginning, but not the end.
The giant snake had indeed left the elevator.
But it turned around and went to the outside of the building.
It directly spiraled its way up the building's exterior!
Snakes can climb trees!
