#634 - The Viper Gang leaders and the strange snake staff

As soon as I entered the factory, I saw several huge machines and some conveyor belts. According to Rock Python's memory, I only needed to follow the conveyor belts to see the King Cobra's throne room.

Sure enough, after passing through several conveyor belts, I saw a peculiar room composed of several uniquely shaped chairs.

There were a total of seven chairs. Except for the chair at the deepest end, which stood alone, the remaining six chairs stood on either side of the center, in three pairs facing each other.

It seemed that this was where the Serpent Gang leaders held their meetings according to Rock Python's memory. The largest and most extravagant chair at the deepest end was the leader King Cobra's seat, and the remaining six chairs on the left and right were for the heads.

It seemed that King Cobra really had some ambition. This configuration clearly showed that he wanted to return to the old system.

Yang Le's eyes flickered. Relying on the Martian's powerful hearing, he heard a series of footsteps. Without hesitation, Yang Le transformed into a ladybug, flapping its wings and flying to the ceiling of the factory.

Sure enough, just as Yang Le landed on the ceiling, he saw five men and women in strange costumes walking in. According to Rock Python's memory, he could identify these five people as the other leaders of the Serpent Gang.

The burly woman with golden curly hair walking at the front was Anaconda Blanche. Behind her, the bald black man was Fer-de-Lance Quincy. Advancing side by side with Quincy was Copperhead Davis, with his bronze skin.

Bringing up the rear were Puff Adder Gordon, who was so burly he didn't look like a normal person, and Rattlesnake Gustav, who was so thin he didn't look like a normal person.

The one who hadn't come was Rock Python Mikula, who was currently lying in the prison of Tandy's shelter with his group of lackeys.

These six leaders, plus the leader King Cobra, made a total of seven people. After gathering seven people, King Cobra stopped promoting anyone else.

Rock Python couldn't understand why King Cobra would do this. There were clearly many capable people in the Serpent Gang, but the leader seemed to have a special fondness for the number seven.

These six leaders had actually changed quite a bit from the beginning. Although the Serpent Gang had only been formed for a week, the leaders had already been replaced almost once. Several leaders had died in the battles to conquer other shelters.

In the chaotic zone, it was difficult for many people to maintain their human side. It was rare for people like Tandy to simply imprison their enemies. Moreover, killing invaders was not an unacceptable thing.

"Hiss~ What did the leader call us here for this time?"

The Rattlesnake, as thin as firewood, flicked its scarlet tongue. The sound coming from its throat was like a real snake hissing, making people feel chills down their spines.

Based on the Rattlesnake's inhuman performance alone, Yang Le could tell that the Serpent Gang in the 9527 universe had been completely changed, at least far from the Serpent Gang in the main universe.

It wasn't that there were no inhuman monsters in the Serpent Gang in the main universe, but most of them were just wearing snake-like combat suits, and many of them still maintained their human appearance.

For example, the Rattlesnake who spoke just now was just an ordinary person wearing a snake-shaped combat suit in the main universe, but he had a bionic tail attached to his tailbone. He definitely didn't have the ability to flick his tongue like that.

"Don't know." Puff Adder, who was addressed, had a stern face. "The leader called me here, so I came. No matter what the leader wants me to do, I won't complain."

"How loyal, Gordon." Rattlesnake chuckled coldly, which aroused Puff Adder's dissatisfaction.

"I've said it before, Rattlesnake, my name is Puff Adder now. Gordon is a thing of the past." Puff Adder glared angrily. "If you say it wrong next time, I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"

"The leader doesn't allow infighting." Rattlesnake flicked his tongue. "Or are you going to disobey the leader's orders?"

"Shut up, Rattlesnake!" Anaconda, who was walking at the front, turned her head and reprimanded.

"Okay." Rattlesnake shrank his neck, as if he was very afraid of Anaconda. His attitude was completely different from when he treated Puff Adder. He was obviously a bully who feared the strong and oppressed the weak.

After Anaconda spoke, the remaining leaders stopped talking and stood in their respective positions, quietly waiting for the leader's arrival.

They didn't have to wait long. King Cobra, dressed in strange costumes, walked out from the depths, leaning on a golden snake-headed cane.

Yang Le's eyes narrowed, and he focused his attention on the snake-headed cane in King Cobra's hand. Under the Martian's unique perception, he could sense the extraordinary nature of the cane.

It was a golden cane that was so exquisite it didn't seem like an ordinary product. The entire cane perfectly carved a whole snake. The end of the cane was the snake's tail, and from the end of the cane upwards was the entire snake god, with densely carved scales extending all the way to the head of the cane.

The most noteworthy thing was the head of the cane. It was not a single snake head that was carved there, but a thick snake head in the center surrounded by six slightly slender snake heads. Each snake head was carved lifelike, and the eyes of the seven snake heads were inlaid with jewels of different colors.

The seven snake heads were intertwined and each looked in a different direction, looking exquisite and luxurious. It was simply a work of art. Even the richest rich people would not be willing to take it out for use, but its current owner was walking with it.

"Dong!"

King Cobra stood in front of his throne, and after standing still, he tapped the ground with the snake cane in his hand, immediately making a sound like a bell, echoing back and forth in the factory.

Yang Le's brain had a brief dizziness. It took about two seconds before he recovered, and then he was even more convinced of his guess that the cane in King Cobra's hand was definitely not an ordinary product.

Maybe, the reason why the Serpent Gang took a different path from the main universe was all thanks to that cane.

Although the answer was right in front of him, it was difficult for Yang Le, because he couldn't search out any information about the cane in front of him in his mind. This thing was beyond his knowledge.

Damn, this question is beyond the syllabus. It seems that it's time to use the ability to adapt to changes.

Yang Le's heart sank. It seemed that he couldn't act rashly. Not only this cane, but also the abilities of these Serpent Gang were unknown to him. He still needed to collect more information.

"Welcome, Leader!"

While Yang Le was brainstorming, the five leaders had already knelt on one knee and began to salute King Cobra. The scene at this time looked like it had really returned to the Middle Ages.

"No need to be polite, my subjects." King Cobra raised his hand to signal the leaders to get up, and they stood up.

"Sit down, the meeting today may be a little long."
