Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Head

Sylas felt his Madness state slip away from him just as Madness Minion was pinned down beneath the jaws of the much heavier snake.

To his surprise, even after his Madness faded, the snake hadn't regained its bearings. It continued to wildly thrash about, but this time in a far more confined region, the weight of the python's corpse keeping it mostly in place.

Sylas took deep breaths.

'So it doesn't fade away immediately…'

He felt a wave of relief hit him. Unfortunately, the job wasn't done quite yet. He had wounded the snake heavily, but not fatally.

'Hm?'

His brows shot up.

The thrashing of the snake slowed, and the entry to its wound actually began to corrode.

'A python is venomous?'

This flipped Sylas' world upside down.

Constrictors were constrictors, and venomous snakes were venomous snakes. They took two different routes of evolution, so it was considered unnecessary by Mother Nature herself for the two to share both.

'Another mistake…'

Sylas hadn't even considered that these animals would be venomous. The moment he saw such a large creature, he made the assumption immediately. This time, his "experience" had almost really hurt him. He could be dead right now.

'Will the poison affect the Genes?'

Sylas rushed forward.
