Chapter 364: Taming the Horned Lightning Snake

The horned lightning snake moved at an extremely fast speed to attack, and its fangs reached Xiang Shaoyun's neck almost instantly . Even though Xiang Shaoyun was already bracing himself for an attack, he still couldn't cleanly dodge and was forced to cover his neck with his arm .

His arm was bit, and he hissed in pain, the blood instantly seeping out . His first instinct was to throw the snake away before killing it . But he quickly suppressed that thought .

"You are holding nothing back, huh? That hurts," said Xiang Shaoyun as he resisted the pain .

He was one who had resisted the pain of being struck by lightning . This much pain was still within his tolerance level . The horned lightning snake continued biting into his arm with its sharp fangs . As it tried to chomp the entire arm off, it left a deep wound that reached his bone .

"Hey, little fellow, I don't intend to harm you . If you are not willing to come with me, just leave . I won't let you sever my arm," said Xiang Shaoyun, using his internal energy to stop the snake from biting off his arm . Even so, he still resisted the urge to harm it .

"Young master, have you gone insane? Beat it up and teach it some discipline!" Devouring Ghost cried out in alarm .

"Yes, Young Master Xiang . Don't joke around with your life," said Du Xuanhao .

Xiang Shaoyun shook his head . "No, I believe in its intelligence . It can understand that I am sincere in not wishing it any harm . "

"Your highness, it has an extraordinary bloodline . Please don't harm it," begged Jin Wo . Jin Wo was a gold serpentine crocodile and had great intimacy with all snake races . Thus, it was natural for him to not wish the horned lightning snake harm .

"Don't worry, I won't harm it," Xiang Shaoyun promised .

"What are you waiting for? Let go of his highness!" Jin Wo berated the horned lightning snake, releasing his Demon Emperor aura .

The horned lightning snake gave it some thought and finally released Xiang Shaoyun's arm before quickly fleeing .

"Beast, trying to flee after harming my young master?" Devouring Ghost shouted and started giving chase .

"Devouring Ghost, come back . Let it go," Xiang Shaoyun shouted .

Devouring Ghost stopped and turned around . He asked, "Young master, since it has survived under the nourishment of silver lightning energy, it has the potential to become a great helper in the future . Are you going to let it go just like this?"

"Yes . Let it be," said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand .

He did want to tame the horned lightning snake, but he did not wish to harm it . Perhaps that was because they both possessed the power of silver lightning . The horned lightning snake continued fleeing, but not long after, it turned around to look at Xiang Shaoyun . There was a complicated emotion in its eyes .

Xiang Shaoyun was still standing there with electrical currents running all over his body, maintaining the incredibly regal and majestic purple dragon around him . The horned lightning snake hesitated for a long time before it turned around and returned to Xiang Shaoyun .

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Xiang Shaoyun's face . He had a feeling the horned lightning snake had made up its mind . Sure enough, after the horned lightning snake arrived before him, it flew a circle around him before emanating a silvery radiance from its scales .

The innate purple lightning in Xiang Shaoyun's body joined with the silver lightning energy the snake emanated, and it seemed like an extremely intimate connection had formed between the two .

The horned lightning snake opened its mouth and swallowed a mouthful of the lightning energy Xiang Shaoyun was releasing, and after swallowing the mouthful, its mood improved .

"Little fellow, just stay by my side . My innate purple lightning and your very being complement each other . We can grow together, and if a day comes when you are tired of staying by my side, I won't stop you from leaving," Xiang Shaoyun quickly persuaded when he sensed that the horned lightning snake was starting to develop affection for him . The horned lightning snake no longer hesitated and nodded its head, signaling its agreement .

"Haha, good . In the future, you will come to realize how smart this decision is," said Xiang Shaoyun with a joyful laugh .

He sincerely wanted the snake to stay by his side; hence he was very excited when it finally agreed . The horned lightning snake proved itself with action by climbing to Xiang Shaoyun's injured arm and licking the wound, showing its willingness to follow him .

"Alright, I'm fine . Don't worry," Xiang Shaoyun said .

But the horned lightning snake did not retreat . It continued licking the wound, and some silvery liquid dripped out of its mouth . The liquid gave Xiang Shaoyun a chilly and refreshing sensation, and when he looked at his wound, he found that it was healing at a slow speed .

"What is this? You are actually capable of healing?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in astonishment, attracting Devouring Ghost's and Jin Wo's attentions . They could both see that Xiang Shaoyun's wound was really healing .

"Not bad at all . This horned lightning snake is worthy of being a mutated species . The energy it spits out has a restorative property," praised Devouring Ghost .

Jin Wo also couldn't help crying out, "It might be a pure lightning beast . Although the lightning power is destructive in nature, lightning liquid is restorative in nature . "

"Lightning liquid, it's spitting lightning liquid?" Xiang Shaoyun was astonished .

Back then, during the first time he was struck by lightning, he had obtained a drop of lightning liquid as well, which was how he had survived death and come to learn how precious lightning liquid was .

If the saliva of the horned lightning snake was truly lightning liquid, it would have great implications . The horned lightning snake left the wounded arm and climbed to Xiang Shaoyun's other arm . It then slowly vanished into his arm .

Xiang Shaoyun was still confused when he saw that a snake tattoo had appeared . The tattoo looked extremely lively and mysterious . He could also sense that something had changed with his skin, as if something else had appeared there .

"The Camouflage Invisibility ability!" Jin Wo cried out in alarm .

"What's that?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in confusion .

"It's a perfect camouflage ability that lets one embed oneself into something to achieve invisibility . It is an extremely rare demonic ability, but this little fellow actually has it! It's an amazing survival ability!" explained Jin Wo with envy .

"So this little fellow is actually this powerful?" Xiang Shaoyun smiled . Then, the horned lightning snake left his arm and flew in the direction they had come from . As it flew, it did not forget to look back and signal Xiang Shaoyun to go with it . He followed without hesitation .
