As John and Silk approached, they were stopped by a powerful Lv 7 Snake Guard. These guards were dressed in shining golden armor and on one hand both of them had spears, with shining sharp crystal. Representing the glory of Scaleweaver clan.

[Note here: These guards look similar to lizardman-like creatures, from various novels and anime.

However, these guards had distinct features, such as snake-like heads without tails, and their unique skin color set them apart. They wore golden armor and wielded spears with crystal heads in both hands.].

The guard stopped John and Silk and they said, show your identification cards.

[Note Here: The guards, born in the Scaleweaver Clan, lacked survival experience, which led them to join the guard post.

Normally a person, who arrived from outside would possess strong survival skills and talent, would be either sent to a sect or appointed to a higher-ranking position.]

Silk said, "We don't have identification cards." The guard replied, "In that case, you cannot enter unless you have reached Lv 7 or you are with someone, who is lv 7".

Silk explained, "No, I don't want to enter. Look at John." The guards turned their attention to John and seemed to understand something from his appearance.

Silk continued and siad, "john is lost, and someone told me his mother might be here.

" The guards seemed to understand and one of them pointed his finger towards John, saying, "You, come with me."

Then, said toSilk "And you, Red Snake, you should go now.

John looked at Silk with gratitude and said, "Thank you." He felt something towards Silk, as silk was the one who too care of him, after his mother.

But he still wanted to go to his mother and bid farewell to Silk.

Silk simply replied, "bye." He didn't have much feelings for him, considering his actions as a simple act of helping someone and satisfying his curiosity, as he wants to know location of hot place.

[Note here: In this world, snakes can easily determine the gender of another snake just by looking at them, much like humans can.

In this case, Silk is a male snake. However, Silk made a decision, when he was building his body not to develop lower reproductive organs, as they would have interfered, with his thought processes in certain situations.

John, also a male snake, was aware that Silk was male too. But, who cares, gay are allowed, as long as you have strength.]

Silk politely approached the guard and said, "Hello, sir. Could you please tell me the location of a place with a hot environment, where I can train my body?"

That one guard who didn't went inside, understand why silk asked this question, because silk was a red species snake, which can train in a hot environment and it is beneficial for them.

The guard replied, "I know one of such a place, but, I must warn you against going there. It is inhabited by several high-level creatures above Lv 5.

The hot area you want is located near a volcano, and this planet only has a few active volcanoes. However, if you still wish to proceed, I can provide you with directions."

Silk said, I might go in future.

The guard understand and then explain the directions to Silk, and said it would take approximately 10 days for you to reach that location based on your speed.

Silk said thank you and went on his way to the cave. However, on his way back to his cave, he saw another nutritious plant and decided to eat it. And continue to go back to cave.

Upon reaching his cave, Silk noticed that Serpina was absent. He assumed thathe didn't gone to hunting today that's why he came early,

Nevertheless, Silk Just went to sleep.

after some hours serpina returned.

After a few hours, Serpina returned to the cave. The sound of someone entering woke Silk from his sleep, and he opened his eyes to find Serpina standing there.

Serpina saw Silk and egarly asked, "Did you bring anything?" She was exited from her improve strength, allowing her to successfully hunt powerful creatures.

She assumed that, since Silk was at Lv 2, he would be able to hunt down more Lv 2 creatures effortlessly.

In a sleepy manner, Silk replied, "No, I don't plan on fighting much. I prefer to gradually increase my level over time."

Serpina reminded Silk, "Did you forget that constant battles with creatures of the same level help us strengthen our bodies?

Additionally, they often possess magical crystals that help in the absorption of more mi."

Silk responded, "That's the reason why I've been exploring. I've discovered a place, where I can train without engaging in battles.

Besides, I can easily survive myself by consuming plants, which also aid in my web.

Additionally, with my infinite lifespans, i have enough time to grow."

Serpina asked, "What do you mean by infinite lifespan and web?"

Silk explained, "It means I can live for a very long time, as long as no one kills me." As he spoke, he bit into the ground, and a silky web began to emerge slowly.

Silk continued, "These are webs, and I can make them stronger by consuming plants. If the web enters someone's body, it will immediately stop him, from making movement from that biten part.

Serpina felt a mix of shock and disappointment. She realized that she didn't possess the infinite lifespan or talent that Silk had.

She wanted to increase her level rapidly so, that she could join the Scaleweaver Clan and live in safe environment.

Her lifespan was currently like…..
