Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

It's molting!

Realizing this, Orochimaru jumped off the gray python, returned to the snake's head, and looked at the other person from a distance.

Ordinary snakes shed their skin in order to grow.

Snake skin and snake scales are formed from the cuticle. They are tough, wear-resistant, impermeable to water, prevent the loss of water in the body, etc., and have many advantages.

But one thing is not as good as the skin of ordinary creatures, that is, snake skin cannot expand as the snake grows.

Therefore, snakes shed their skins every once in a while. The longer the snake lives, the more times it sheds its skins.

This is a growth law, or a physiological phenomenon of snakes.

But for these extraordinary snakes like Longdi Cave, shedding their skin has other meanings.

For example, the magic snakes headed by the White Snake Immortal also do it for growth, but they shed their skin not to expand their body size, but to shrink their body.

It's not a matter of breaking free, but a new snakeskin forming on the inside, allowing the petrification on the outside to fall off.

This is a magical technique developed by the White Snake Immortal by combining physiological instinct with natural energy. The purpose is to reverse the burden brought by the body shape and complete evolution. It is the completely opposite path to the warrior snake.

But Wan She, this stupid snake, also has similar skills.

It does not use magic, but relies directly on instinct, and can escape danger by 'shedding'.

It is similar to the shedding of the White Snake Immortal, but it only forms new snake skin internally, and the body size neither shrinks nor grows.

The purpose is just to use a substitute to deflect damage.

Orochimaru has seen Wan She perform this skill many times and is quite familiar with it.

Therefore, he was very sure that the gray python, a warrior snake, was not using a skin-shedding method similar to that of the Ten Thousand Snakes.

It is growing.

This... is very interesting.

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, suppressed the urge to continue disturbing the first-generation cells, and looked at the gray python with interest.

If this 'sloughing' is similar to that of the White Snake Sage, after the gray python has condensed its body, with its increased chakra strength, it will greatly increase the possibility of taming the first-generation cells.

The important thing is that he let the gray python reveal this possibility, and the White Snake Immortal will naturally be interested in it. This trip can be said to be a success.

And if it were just the growth of the big snake, the process would be much more dangerous.

As the python grows, the first-generation cells will be completely integrated with the snake's body through rapid cell iteration, opening the road to perfect integration at the cellular level.

It sounds good, but in this case, if you are not careful, your body will become lumbered and completely turn into a big tree.

Perfect integration at the cellular level is his ultimate desire for the effectiveness of the first-generation cells. There are still many problems that have not yet been solved.

So far, he has been using only some first-generation cell transplants.

Which one is this?

Under Orochimaru's expectant gaze, the gray giant python curled up and rolled back and forth in the cave. The snake's snout was attached to the hard earth and stone, and it was constantly rubbing. After a while, the outermost layer of snake skin was torn.

"Hiss, hiss..."

The gray python let out a cry of pain, not only because of the pain of molting, but also because the inhibitory effect continued to weaken, and the first-generation cells became active again.

The giant gray python did not dare to waste time. The snake's head swayed from side to side and rubbed, widening the wound in the snake's skin. Soon, the gap was enough for its body to pass through.

swish swish...

On the rocky ground, there was the sound of snake body rubbing against snake skin, like a blunt knife cutting flesh, which sounded really scary.

Orochimaru's attention was entirely on the protruding snake body. He subconsciously licked his lips, with great interest in his eyes.

Because the color of the snake's body is no longer gray-brown, but has turned into an emerald green color, just like the tree snakes in the forest.

Judging from the way the giant python sheds its skin at this time, this is not an enchantment similar to that of the White Snake Immortal, but a simple growth.

It's a pity, but it's not without gain.

Orochimaru raised his eyebrows. The shadow clone was of the same mind as him. He had already arranged other experimental equipment and was recording data in an orderly manner.

Being able to see the perfect fusion of the first-generation cells in the python was very valuable for his subsequent experiments.

Moreover, in any case, the snake did not die in the experiment. Even if the White Snake Immortal wanted to blame him, he would not make too big a fuss.

Just as he was thinking this, the tree snake neighed again and rolled its body on the rocky ground again.

The skin of the snake, which was just born, began to crack and soon became covered with scars.

Orochimaru said in surprise, "Is this guy going to shed his skin again?"

Unexpected, but it seems like it should be.

With the powerful replication and proliferation capabilities of the first-generation cells, it is indeed possible for this giant python to cross the growth stage in a short period of time.

Orochimaru's heart sank. With this level of growth power, the perfect fusion of the first-generation cells was much more terrifying than he imagined.

"Ahhhh..."

On the rocky ground, dust suddenly rose, the emerald green python rolled, and layers of earth and rocks were thrown into the sky.

This shedding was much more embarrassing than the last time. It was no longer possible to slowly take off the snake's skin from the snake's snout step by step. Instead, it had to tear it directly through hard earth and rocks to break free.

If an ordinary snake behaves like this violently, even ten thousand snakes would be covered in bruises, but with the existence of first-generation cells, this giant python shed a lot of blood, but on the surface it appears to be unscathed.

But seeing the giant python struggling desperately, it must have been more like an ordinary snake.

Soon, although there was some adhesion, most of the snake skin was freed by the emerald green python, and the color of the exposed body also deepened a lot, changing from emerald green to dark green.

A pitiful howl came from the snake's mouth, but it seemed weak compared to before. The two molts had consumed too much of its energy, and it was no longer able to suppress and interfere with the first-generation cells.

Not long after, the intact body of the emerald green python cracked again. This time, it did not shed its skin. Under the broken scales, densely packed granulations sprouted.

They continue to grow and divide, and when they grow to a certain extent, they begin to lignify, and green leaves begin to poke out from the tips.

Orochimaru licked his lips, anticipating the outcome.

As expected, the huge snake's body was like a fertile soil that gave birth to seeds. Saplings of different sizes extracted nutrients from it, and in an instant, they grew into a forest.

Orochimaru no longer looked at the failed experimental subjects. He reflected on the omissions in the previous experiments and the areas that needed improvement. He jumped up and flew in front of Wan She.

"You...can't do this to me!"

Seeing what happened to the giant python, all the snakes were stunned and shuddered at the evil of the human being in front of them.

Orochimaru smiled as usual, "Wan She, it's your turn."

"No...no, Orochimaru, if you do this, the Immortal will not let you go."

Wan Snake keeps threatening and shouting, but it has no confidence in its heart. Even it can understand the meaning of no one stopping it for so long.
