Chapter 168 The Little Snake That Catched Up
When the little snake saw Lin Feng bring over two large fish baskets, it hurriedly rushed out of the valley to greet him.
Wow, why did you bring me so much delicious food today?
Lin Feng didn't mention to the little snake that he was going on a long trip, afraid that if he did, the little snake wouldn't be in the mood to eat these things.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "If I give you something good to eat, just eat it. Why ask so many questions?"
The little snake plunged headfirst into the fish basket, and when it came out, it had grown from the thickness of a finger to the thickness of a thigh.
He didn't give up, so he plunged into another fish basket and ate himself until he was as thick as an adult.
Lin Feng clicked his tongue in amazement. A demon beast is indeed extraordinary. This little guy is not only incredibly hard, but also incredibly elastic.
Lin Feng suspected that this guy could swallow a wild boar whole if he went all out.
The snake digested very quickly, and its body visibly shrank.
In less than fifteen minutes, it returned to the thickness of a finger and the length of a foot.
After digesting, the little snake jumped onto a rock and burped, "Burp burp, I'm full and have energy now. Come on, let's fight!"
Lin Feng walked over to the little snake and sat down on a rock.
"Let's not fight today, let's have a good chat."
The little snake gave an "oh," clearly uninterested in chatting.
Lin Feng could also see that this guy was just a child at heart, treating fighting as a game, which was why he liked to fight.
Lin Feng said, "Let's have a good chat for a while, and then I'll fight you."
"After knowing each other for so long, I still don't know your name?"
The little snake looked bewildered and remained silent for a while before saying, "I have no name."
"Then let me give you a name?"
Why did you name me?
"Because we're friends, and I know how to name things, aren't we friends?"
The little snake quickly replied, "Of course we're friends."
The little snake has only ever communicated with Lin Feng since it was born. Of course, it has also come into contact with wild animals in the mountains, but those wild animals are just food to it.
The little snake not only treated Lin Feng as a friend, but even became somewhat dependent on him, since Lin Feng was the first person it saw when it was born.
Lin Feng then asked, "Then tell me, can I name you?"
The little snake readily replied, "Yes."
Lin Feng racked his brains to come up with a name for the little snake.
Actually, he was really bad at naming people. In his previous life, he had never had children or named anyone.
The names of the five children in this life were given by a fortune teller who was passing through Xiahe Village.
Lin Feng looked at the little snake. The little snake could be soft or hard, big or small, just like the characteristics of his other brother. He might as well call it Little Chicken.
Let's forget it; having the same name as someone else could easily cause misunderstandings.
Lin Feng frowned, while the little snake lay on the ground, waiting expectantly.
Lin Feng thought of Xiao Jin's appearance, which resembled metal, and the light it emitted during battle. Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of a domineering name.
He looked up at the little snake and said, "I've thought of a name for you. Your formal name will be Jin Huang."
Metal, one of the five elements, represents indestructibility.
The character 煌 is composed of two parts: “火” (fire) and “皇” (emperor).
Among them, "fire" represents light and heat.
The character “皇” itself means emperor, representing nobility.
The character 煌 itself also means brilliant, dazzling, and radiant.
It suits your noble lineage.
Your nickname is Xiao Jin, and that's what I usually call you.
The little snake nodded repeatedly, "Great, great, this is a good name, I have a name now."
The little snake nodded and circled around Lin Feng, overjoyed.
Lin Feng called out to the little snake, "Little Gold."
The little snake readily agreed, "Oh, what do you want me to do?"
"Xiao Jin, come on, let's have a match."
The man and the snake fought in the valley for half an hour before stopping to rest on the ground.
Xiao Jin seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, I still don't know your name?"
"My name is Lin Feng. You can call me Big Brother from now on."
Why should I call you "Big Brother"?
"Because I'm more educated than you, I can name you."
I am capable of defeating you.
Of course, the most important thing is that we have a very close relationship. We're like brothers, and I'm older than you.
So naturally I'm the eldest brother.
Xiao Jin tilted his head and thought for a while, then felt that Lin Feng's words made a lot of sense. "Okay, then I'll call you Big Brother."
"Say something so that your elder brother can hear it."
The little snake hissed, "Big brother."
"Sigh," Lin Feng agreed and nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Feng stood up and dusted himself off. "How about we sign an equal contract? That way, I can take you out to have some fun and see the world outside the valley."
The little snake shook its head like a rattle drum, "I won't sign any of those damn contracts. In my lineage, not a single ancestor who signed a contract ever had a good end."
Most of them died in battle.
I just want to stay in this valley forever, playing alone until I grow old, even if I die alone.
Lin Feng didn't say much. He felt that Xiao Jin's identity was very unusual, after all, even humans don't have something like inherited memories.
However, Xiao Jin's ancestors were able to write their memories into their genes and pass them down from generation to generation.
It's okay if we don't sign a contract this time; there will definitely be other opportunities in the future.
"Xiao Jin, I have to go out for a while and I won't be coming over for a long time."
If you get hungry, go out hunting on your own, but don't go too far out of the valley.
I'll come play with you again when I get back.
"Oh, okay." Xiao Jin's mood was clearly downcast.
However, without signing a contract, Lin Feng definitely wouldn't dare take Xiao Jin out.
If this guy were to cause trouble in the city, I wonder how much destruction he could create.
Moreover, whether it's a monster or a wild beast, once they've eaten a human, they become addicted and can't stop.
Only by signing a contract can we ensure that Xiao Jin won't act recklessly.
Xiao Jin then asked, "Big brother, when are you coming back?"
"It could take anywhere from two months to six months, I'm not entirely sure."
A conflicted look appeared on Xiao Jin's face. After all, he had only lived for half a year, and half a year was equivalent to the entirety of his life so far.
Xiao Jin's mood became even more depressed. He hung his head and stared blankly at a small pebble on the ground.
Lin Feng glanced at Xiao Jin and said, "Xiao Jin, I'm leaving. Take care."
It seems I won't be able to subdue Little Gold this time, but that's alright, I'll try again after I return from the martial arts competition.
Lin Feng walked out of the valley and headed down the mountain.
Lin Feng walked a distance and looked back, just in time to see Xiao Jin perched on a tree branch, watching him.
Lin Feng waved to Xiao Jin and turned to continue on his way.
Just as Lin Feng's figure was about to disappear.
Xiao Jin seemed to have figured something out. He jumped to the ground with a whoosh and chased after Lin Feng at full speed.
