The Serpent Swallows All Spirits

Zhou Xun transmigrated as a little snake in Bailu Creek, forced to pay tribute every month. His spirit fish was stolen, and even the mud burrow where he hid was about to be taken to settle a debt. So he slipped into the tribute fish basket and swallowed the Water Manor Lord’s thunder eel first. With that bite, he awakened his innate talent, “Vein Devouring.” By consuming enough fresh yaomaterial, he could acquire the other creature’s innate abilities. The thunder eel’s lightning, the crab demon’s armor, the fish’s command of water… No quests, no rewards, and the abilities he devoured were his to master on his own. From a spring in Bailu Creek to Thunder Marsh, the Salt Sea, and Dragon Abyss; from a little snake forced to pay tribute to a true dragon beholden to no blood pact, serving as no one’s pet, and master of its own body. Everyone in this world wants to eat it. So Wu Jiu can only ask first: this time, who’s eating whom?
