At that moment, Wei Zhenguo suddenly asked:
"Wang Tao, don’t you still have nine snake eggs?"
"Yes, there are nine."
Wang Tao nodded.
He hadn’t known before that the snake eggs would hatch into snakes that obeyed his commands. For safety’s sake, he hadn’t dared to hatch too many, only trying out one to test the waters. After all, if they were to hatch a group of Level 4, Lords, or higher monsters all at once, they would be difficult to handle.
"Should we continue hatching them?"
Wei Zhenguo asked again.
"Of course!"
Wang Tao nodded again.
Since the hatched snakes were obedient, even serving as pets, he definitely needed to hatch them. Even if what hatched were Fourth Order Elites, it would significantly increase their team’s combat power.
Then Wang Tao looked around at everyone and asked:
"Who wants to try hatching? Whoever hatches it will own the pet! However, I feel that hatching these creatures seems to have something to do with spiritual power. It might be problematic if your spiritual power is too low... Of course, you’re all at Level 3 or 4, so there should be no problem with that."
Everyone glanced at each other, only Wei Zhenguo and a few other men raised their hands. Ding Yuqin and the other women all shook their heads; even Jiang Shixue didn’t speak up. She wasn’t afraid, but she preferred Lightning to snakes.
"We’d better not..."
Ding Yuqin quickly waved her hand.
Women were naturally quite fearful of such cold-blooded animals. Even though the hatched creature would be their own pet, it was still a snake and somewhat repulsive. They would definitely be willing if it were a dog like Lightning.
"Then I’ll do it!"
"I can too!"
"..."
Wei Zhenguo, Xu Xiaojun, Chen Zhuang, and Gao Hua all raised their hands.
He Jijun wasn’t interested in snakes and didn’t raise his hand.
"Alright."
Wang Tao didn’t insist, so the four of them each hatched one snake egg.
Hatching these snake eggs required one day and 100,000 HP; as for the time, they just had to wait. Regarding HP, with the healer around, there was nothing to worry about.
After they began hatching, their faces quickly turned pale. Prepared beforehand, Lan Yulian immediately activated the Healing Light Aura and then began healing them. It took some time before their HP was fully restored.
"Whew—"
The group all let out a long breath.
This act of hatching snake eggs using their own life energy was indeed not very pleasant.
The four snake eggs also turned red like the one Wang Tao had hatched before, and they placed them inside the vehicle.
If nothing unusual happened, by this time tomorrow, Wang Tao’s team would have five Level 4 Elite serpents!

After the four snake eggs were successfully hatched, Wang Tao would check their condition and then decide who would hatch the remaining five eggs.
Because after the snake eggs hatched and connected with their consciousness, it did affect their spiritual power somewhat. It was like a piece of their spiritual power had been allocated to the snake. So Wang Tao wasn’t sure if continuing to hatch would be problematic; it was better to be cautious.
Wang Tao had wanted to test Blacky’s combat effectiveness, but there were no zombies nearby. Xu Xiaojun and his group had to travel far to catch zombies the previous day.
Wang Tao thought it over and decided against it, believing that the zombies in the cave could still hatch into Night Demons. Once the Night Demons were hatched, he would let Blacky try them out. Since he had control over the situation, even if Blacky couldn’t win, there would be no risk to its life.
Thus, Wang Tao and his group didn’t go anywhere today and just waited around for a day. Nothing happened, and the zombies in the cave were still very much alive.
This made Wang Tao somewhat helpless, but he unexpectedly discovered that his 1000 Awakening Energy had fully recovered today. Since there was no battle right now, Wang Tao decided to upgrade. Moments later, the upper limit of his Awakening Energy increased to 1100, and the strength and duration of his Awakening Ability improved slightly.
The next day, under the attention of everyone, they watched the four snake eggs hatch successfully.
Their appearance and color were very similar to Wang Tao’s Blacky, and they were all Fourth Order Elites, with no Lords appearing.
To distinguish them, Wang Tao named them Er Hei, Sanhei, Si Hei, and Wu Hei.
Regarding Wang Tao’s naming ability, everyone had already run out of fucks to give.
Then Wang Tao asked Wei Zhenguo and the others about their feelings. After successfully hatching and interacting with the Black Snakes, they could feel that some of their ephemeral spiritual power had indeed been utilized.
Their spiritual power was far less than Wang Tao’s, and they felt that hatching another such snake could potentially affect them.

So Wang Tao decided not to let them hatch any more, and they would discuss the remaining five eggs later. Hatching them himself shouldn’t have much impact, but since they are all Fourth Order Elite snakes, the benefit to Wang Tao wasn’t that great. He himself didn’t need to hatch so many...
...
On the fifth day of planting the Awakening Seed.
Early morning, there were still no changes in the zombies in the cave.
"These parasites, could they have all failed..."
Wang Tao was somewhat speechless.
If there really were only two successful attempts, then the success rate was still a bit low. Of course, a low success rate was actually a good thing, but for the current Wang Tao, having no Night Demons meant earning a lot less.
"Hmm? What’s that smell?"
Suddenly, Wang Tao smelled a very pleasant fruit fragrance.
Not just him, the others smelled it too, and they were all surprised. Lightning, Blacky, and the others were exceptionally excited. Jiang Shixue subconsciously licked her lips, feeling her mouth crazily secreting saliva.
"It seems to be... coming from the direction of the Awakening Tree? Let’s go and see what’s happening!"
