The World Serpent

After digesting the Hatchlings, Persia left her temporary burrow and continued her adventure. She slithered to the West. She didn't know where she would end up, but Persia will continue until she sees the end of the West. As she traversed through the Open Fields in the Lowland, She could see numerous creatures ranging from Reptiles, Mammals, and Birds.

Atop the Blue Skies was the Golden Bright Sun descending from the Heavens. It was currently Afternoon, and Nightfall will begin if the Golden Bright Sun disappears to the Horizon. The Echelons of Birds were still flying above the skies. The Blue Skies were slowly turning into Orange and Red Skies. The Fluffy White Clouds were darkening as the Sun descended.

Persia was slithering through the Destination that was unknown to her. She traversed through the Lowland with a speed of a Normal Car. She used every tracking skill she had during her travel. From flicking her Tongue, From using her Infrared Vision, and from hearing the Vibrations of Nature, In the end. She didn't find anything other than Creatures bigger than her.

The Gentle Breeze of Wind passed through the Lowland. The Withered Ferns slowly got worse as she continues on her way to the West. She was curious if the West was really a Barren Land. She still felt in her guts that she needed to continue her journey to the West. But Persia was getting discouraged from continuing on her journey as her time goes on in this Lowland.

'*Sigh* This place is really barren.' Persia thought to herself while slithering through the Lowland. The Lack of Prey in her journey was going to be a problem. She wouldn't grow, which means that she wasted her time traversing through the West. The Lowland was Barren like the Highland. It seems that the Grasslands weren't a good hunting ground for Persia. The Creatures in this area were too big for her.

<It seems that we need a new plan in case the current plan fails>

Ego's Monotone voice echoed within Persia's head. Even Ego acknowledged that the Grassland wasn't a good hunting ground for Persia. Persia nodded at Ego's words. They needed to creature a backup plan as the Current Plan was sinking. It wasn't efficient to roam around until they find a Creature that they couldn't even eat.

Persia continued to traversed in the Lowland. She was in a Sad and depressing mood. It was clear that she didn't want to continue moving and go back to the place with guaranteed food. While she was slithering through the Lowland, She noticed something that could provide her a way to find prey. Persia stopped slithering and stared at it. Her Moon slowly elevated at seeing it.

'A Stream.' Persia thought to herself while staring at the Stream of Water. She was surprised to see this as she already knew what this meant. It would mean that she would get a possible Prey. Possible Prey means Possible Biomass. With this in mind, Persia had thought within her mind. 'Ego, Are you thinking what I'm thinking?'

<It is easy to guess what Sister is thinking. Since we are currently in the way of finding a Prey. We should follow the Stream of Water, But I would like to remind the dangers of following the Stream.>

A Monotone voice echoed within Persia's mind. It was Ego speaking to her. Persia nodded in understanding after hearing Ego's words. She wanted to follow the Stream of Water, as it would lead her to the Small Creatures. But there was a risk within this plan. It was the fact that other Predators would also be near this place. There were many risks, but it was a Good Risk to take. After all, Persia didn't want to leave the Grassland without leveling up.

<The Dangers of the Wild is its ability to be unforeseen. Please Be Careful.>

'Thanks for worrying about me. I'll be careful.' Persia thought to herself as her body began moving. She slithered near the Stream of Water and began increasing her speed. She was fast and mobile, even with her size. She was an irregular snake. It was the start of hunting near the Stream of Water.

As time passes by, Persia noticed a Big Mound in the distance. It looked like a Little Hill in the middle of the Lowland. Persia shook her head when she saw the Big Mound and continued heading towards the Big Mound. She then heard the Vibrations of Nature, and they were Slight and Small.

'Prey?' Persia thought to herself. She was excited at the existence of a Prey near the Big Mound. She began climbing the Mound at her Full speed and reached its stop. It was high up from the surface. She looked around and almost saw everything in the Lowland. She then noticed something below it.

'Another Pond, It seems that Small Creatures are gathering near the Pond.' Persia stared at the Pond Below her with cold eyes. She hid atop the Big Mound. She was far from the surface, so the Small Creatures below couldn't notice her. Persia observed the Small Creatures in the Pond with her tracking sense.

'Hmm... Over a Hundred Small Creatures are gathering near the Pond. It seems that this Pond si big, but it isn't comparable to Lakes.' Persia thought to herself while staring at the Pond below her. A Hundred Small Creatures were like a Chest full of gold. Persia felt fortunate to find something like this in a Barren Land.

'The Actions and Movements of these Creatures are strange, but they are still creatures that I can eat.' Persia thought while staring at the Strange Small Creatures. The Reason why Persia found them strange was the fact that they looked like they were hiding something deep below the Pond. If what she thought was true, Persia wondered what was in the Pond.

'Ego, What kind of Creatures do you think is near the Pond?' Persia asked Ego an important question. She was curious and cautious at the Small Creatures gathering near the Pond. A While later, A monotone voice echoed within her mind. It seems that her answer had come.

<According to the Body Structures of the Small Creatures. There is a possibility of them being an Amphibian Creature. But the actions and movements seem to signify that they have some intelligence or something is leading them.>

'So they are Frogs. I have eaten many Frogs before, but it seems that this is a new family of Frogs. Their actions and movements are strange. We need to kill them silently and not alert any frog near the vicinity.' Persia began making a plan deep within her mind. It seems that the situation wasn't that simple. The Frogs in front of her were moving with the sign of intelligence.

<That is a good plan. Sister would have to take them out one by one. Sister could use her Stealth and Fast movements to ambushed them. Sister also needs to find the entrance to whatever their guiding. It might lead to the Other group of frogs possibly hiding deep within the ground.>

'Good plan of yours, Should we proceed with it?' Persia asked Ego. Ego was good at making plans or making a more detailed plan than hers. Ego's monotone voice then echoed within her mind.

<It is your plan, Sister. I just made it detailed. I could make one with many backup plans in case something strange happened. The backup plans will get reported when needed.>

'Understood. Let's begin our attack.' Persia nodded and began slithering down the Big Mound. She was moving at a fast speed and was silent. The Big Mound created a large shadow that she could use to cover herself. Persia also activated her Mortal Camouflage. She then changed into two colors which were green and dark grey.

Persia arrived at the bottom of the Big Mound. She then slithered through the Lowland and headed towards the Pond. The Pond had created a small forestation around it. It got surrounded by Bush and Small Trees. It also had slightly tall grass than Normal in Lowland.

As she got nearer at the Pond. She then hid within the Bush around it. She used the Bush as cover for her ambush. She looked around and found that there were 25 Frogs near her. She needed to kill all of them silently and used them to level up. After level up, She could go crazy and attack everything near her.

'Let's Start the Plan.' Persia calmed herself before continuing with the current plan they had. She needed to be calmed as she hunt since being emotional would hinder her capability. After calming herself, Persia's eyes slowly changed into something different. It was Cold and Merciless.

<Sister, You have learned how to control your Logic and Emotions. Such Skill is needed for a Predator. It seems that Sister has grown and adapted during her time in the Wild.>

Ego's Monotone Voice echoed within Persia's mind. Her Word sounds like she got shocked, but the way she tried to speak such words with her monotone voice made it sound like she mocked Persia. Persia shook her head and told herself that it was normal for Ego to speak like that.

Persia slithered through the Bush. She waited and silently moved through the Pond. The Frogs were hopping around the Pond and were guarding it. A Frog then passed in front of Persia. She activated her Accelerated Thought Process and began her attack. She opened her Jaw and used her body as a SpringBoard.

She caught the Frog in her Jaw and began to drag the Frog back to the Bush. The Frog didn't have enough time to react and got swallowed by Persia. After eating the First Frog, Persia changed her location and began staring at the other Frogs near her. The Second Frog looked around and noticed the strange atmosphere.

Persia was hiding behind the Second Frog. She opened her Jaw and used the same move. She quickly bit through the Frog and ate it whole. Her plan was working, and it seems to be efficient at killing frogs. She was too fast for them to dodge. Even if they try to resist her fangs, Persia's venom could quickly kill them.

'The Plan is working. I need to continue.' Persia thought to herself while slithering through the Bush. She continued ambushing the Frogs one by one. Their numbers dwindled, and the Frogs around Persia's got lower and lower. The Frogs noticed the strange disappearance of their friends and quickly headed towards the other group of frogs in the areas near them. But they would disappear before they could meet their friends.

As time passes by, Persia finally swallowed the last frog in her area. She felt that her body was getting too full, but the digestion inside her body was strong. The Frogs inside her were quickly disassembled and turned into Biomass. The Only thing Persia needed to do was hide in the Bush and wait for the Level Up.

'That was a good meal.' Persia thought to herself while resting within the Bush. It was a good meal as she ate 25 Frogs. She was lucky to have a good digestive system within her body. She would have exploded due to over swallowing. The Feeling of a body exploding into multiple pieces was not a good feeling.

A Notification Echoed deep within her mind.

*Ding!*

Persia's body began shining brightly. The Whole Bush got illuminated by the Bright Light. Such Bright Light got the attraction of the Frogs near the Area. Persia, who was within the Bush, had a smirk plastered on her snake face. She looked around at her body as it slowly grew and changed.

'It's time for me to be a Wild Creature.'
