Chapter 587, Milky

*Ziiii* Su Bai was still sleeping when he heard an unusual sound, and at the same time his Danger Foresight immediately began to ring.

 

He did not hesitate for a moment and instantly opened his black eyes wide, sitting up and leaning himself against the wall.

 

His black gaze continuously swept around the surrounding environment. Since the Danger Foresight had sounded, it meant that danger was very close to him.

 

[No one is around me, which means this danger is not coming from Humans…] Su Bai deduced.

 

He instantly prepared to activate his Skill, keeping his hand gesture ready—Finger Gun.

 

But his eyes did not relax at all, instead staring intently as they swept around the room.

 

After all, the cement house was not somewhere that outsiders could just enter casually. Combined with the fact that there was no one else in this room, it meant that the danger was not from people.

 

[If it’s not people, then it must be some external factors…] Su Bai frowned.

 

He looked up at the heating pipes around the room, wondering if these heating pipes might explode or something.

 

[No, that can’t be it. The temperature is not high, and there is already a mechanism to maintain the pressure. Copper also won’t blow up that easily.] Su Bai immediately dismissed his own worries.

 

Since he was wearing the home clothes that the System had provided, his movements would not be restricted. Now, he just needed to find out where the source of danger was.

 

[Could it be a Ferocious Beast?] Su Bai thought of this possibility and continued to scan around to see where there might be a place for a Ferocious Beast to run in.

 

He stood on the bed and carefully looked around but found nothing different. There were no Ferocious Beasts in the room at all.

 

[Could it be in the living room?] Su Bai thought of this and immediately put on his shoes, opened the door and went out to the living room.

 

However, as soon as he entered the living room, he discovered a snake. The snake was coiled right in the middle of the living room, looking as if it was enjoying itself.

 

*Meow~ Meow~*

 

At this moment, Rolly was baring its teeth at the snake, its fur instantly standing on end.

 

Just like that, one cat and one snake were facing off in the living room. However, the snake was obviously more composed, just slowly flicking its tongue in joy, as if it was enjoying the indoor temperature.

 

Rolly appeared much less composed, constantly swaying its long silver-white tail, with all the claws on its paws extended, as if it might pounce at any moment.

 

The snake was not very large. Its width was about the size of an adult’s forearm, but it was quite long, approximately 1.7 metres. It was entirely black with spotted white markings.

 

Obviously, this colour pattern indicated that the snake was venomous.

 

“Rolly, step back.” Su Bai said in a low voice. No matter how agile Rolly was, it probably would not be a match for this snake.

 

If this snake coiled around Rolly and injected its venom, it would likely lead to death.

 

Even though Rolly was agile, it might still be at a disadvantage when facing this highly venomous snake.

 

*Meow meow meow…* Rolly seemed very indignant and called out a few times, but it still followed the command and retreated. However, its fur did not settle down because of this, and its eyes still glared fiercely at the snake.

 

When Su Bai came out of his room, he had conveniently picked up his shield, and now he held the shield pointed at the snake.

 

His black eyes kept watching the snake as he said softly, “I wonder what it would be like to keep a snake?”

 

That was right, he was thinking of keeping this snake as a pet. Since it could survive during the snow season and enter the living room on the second floor of the Yong’an Building without being discovered by anyone, such an animal could be helpful.

 

One could imagine that this snake’s mobility and stealth were excellent. Otherwise, with so many people patrolling the Tribe, it should have been discovered long ago.

 

He was thinking that if this snake could be kept, it could more or less help him with some tasks. Moreover, he had his Taming Skill, so he would not need to worry about this snake biting his own people.

 

“Good boy!” Su Bai suddenly smiled with a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth.

 

*Siiii* The Black Snake instantly felt that something was not quite right, continuously flicking its tongue and looking rather confused.

 

Su Bai held his shield and kept approaching the Black Snake, preparing to find an opening to use his Taming Skill on it.

 

*Siiii* The Black Snake had originally been lazily enjoying the heating, but upon seeing someone approaching, it instantly showed a fierce appearance.

 

Its pair of long fangs immediately showed, looking extremely fierce.

 

It suddenly contracted its body and rushed out, moving at an extremely fast speed that made it impossible to catch its figure.

 

Su Bai had already sensed this and instantly blocked with the shield, directly blocking the Black Snake that was rushing towards him.

 

The Black Snake was instantly stunned, not knowing what had happened, continuously blinking its black vertical pupils.

 

Su Bai took advantage of the Black Snake’s confusion and immediately used his Taming Skill. Purple light instantly emanated, completely surrounding the Black Snake.

 

The Black Snake initially struggled a bit, but as the purple light completely enveloped it, it gave up struggling.

 

“Like I thought, no animal can escape from my Taming Skill…” Su Bai murmured to himself.

 

The purple light slowly faded, and the entire Black Snake coiled together, just like a mosquito coil.

 

It slowly raised its head, cautiously scanning the surroundings. Its vertical pupils had become gentler, not as full of aggression as before, and the tongue it was flicking also appeared much gentler.

 

“Come here,” Su Bai gently beckoned with his hand. Having grown up for so many years, he had never personally touched a snake before.

 

*Siiii* The Black Snake slowly crawled over, coiling up along Su Bai’s hand and spiralling up to his shoulder.

 

“From now on, I’ll call you Milky,” Su Bai laughed heartily. To be honest, when he saw this snake, the first thing that came to mind was the White Rabbit Milk Candy.

 

*Ziiii*

 

The Black Snake kept flicking its tongue as if it liked this name very much, continuously coiling around Su Bai’s body.

 

*Meow~ Meow~*

 

Rolly on the side was still baring its teeth, seemingly still finding it very dangerous, with its fur still standing on end.

 

“Rolly, relax. From now on, this little one will be your new friend.” Su Bai gestured with his hand.

 

Rolly was now quite large, twice its previous size. This was probably due to its last evolution, plus eating very well every day. Under such conditions, it had grown extremely fast.

 

*Meow meow meow…*

 

Rolly still seemed bothered and directly ignored them, slowly walking to a corner to sleep.

 

“Rolly, what am I to do with you?” Su Bai smiled and shook his head, then looked at the snake and asked, “Where did you come from?”

 

Now he needed to figure out where this snake had come from. Perhaps there were still areas of the Yong’an Building that could be improved upon.
