The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 699

There was a black-colored python about the width of an arm snaking itself around the small tree, and there was a rooster that was so frightened by it that it hid in the corner and spread out its wings in a defensive position.

The python then slid down from the tree into the corner and bit onto the rooster's head before wrapping its length around the rooster. Within the grasp of the python, the rooster struggled and fought for its life to escape.

However, because it was all wrapped up by the python, the rooster soon lost its breath after a few minutes of struggling. Soon after, the python began to swallow the rooster, pushing the rooster from its mouth toward the end of its slim length.

Next to the glass terrarium were two people facing each other.

One of them was an old man who looked around 67 years old, and he had half a head of white hair. The old man had sagging eyelids as well, and his eyebags were as prominent as a frog's. He was watching the snake and the rooster with much interest.

Next to him was a young man, who had his back slightly bowed toward the old man.

Half an hour later, the python had finally swallowed the whole of the rooster, and the middle of the snake's slim body had an obvious bulge that grew thicker than the head and ends of its tail. It was a pretty odd sight to see.

Then, the old man said to the young man, asking, "Do you know what I named my python?"

The young man was a little curious and asked, "What is it?"

Immediately, the old man's eyes lit up as he announced, "I call him Hydra, short for Hydra of the East!"

Then, the young man frowned. Hydra of the East was a deity, and it seemed a little offensive to name a python after the eight-headed serpent deity.

But the old man continued, "My Hydra loves eating roosters. Ha ha ha! I'm training it to eat things that are several times larger than its size. As long as you're brave enough, and your teeth sharp enough, it's not impossible to swallow a giant!"

The old man seemed pretty worked up over his words, and his pitch became much higher from excitement.

All of a sudden, as if he had thought of something, the young man became excited as well. "Mr. Kaiser, I finally understand what you mean! Let me bring you some great news. We're seeing some results from our research, and we finally made it through protein fusion."
