Chapter 3: A Violent Eagle and a Violent Snake Below
After briefly bidding farewell to the lost "life", Chuanyun did not continue to mourn the spring and autumn, and soon began to consider his own situation.
She still retains the memories of her time as a human being, is familiar with nature's rules of "natural selection, survival of the fittest", and also clearly understands the potential dangers faced by a little turtle that has just hatched from its shell.
Not to mention those that flew in the sky, those that swam in the water, and those that crawled on the ground, there were countless ways that could have taken away her little life.
Survival is easier said than done.
Who is willing to seek death if it is possible to live?
The place where she is currently is a narrow pit, and only fifteen of the more than twenty eggs have successfully hatched.
Looking at the entrance of the hole right in front of me, it shows that the hole is not deep. Fortunately, when the female turtle laid her eggs, the "nest" was dug at an angle, and it happened to be under a clump of weeds, so the "nest" was not deep enough.
It hasn't collapsed yet.
Otherwise, she would have to face being buried alive as soon as she breaks out of her shell.
Turtles are cold-blooded animals. Turtle mothers do not incubate and raise their own children. Instead, they spontaneously climb ashore during the egg-laying season, dig a hole wherever they like, lay their eggs, and then cover them with a thin layer of soil.
Stay at the entrance of the cave and continue back to the river.
The eggs laid will hatch naturally in the soil with the help of sunlight temperature and rain humidity, and will be self-sufficient after breaking out of the shell.
Moreover, the mother of her "turtle" was obviously a little too arrogant. She didn't even bother to cover the hole, so she just patted her butt and left.
Therefore, the fact that she and this group of "brothers and sisters" managed to survive until the day of breaking out of their shells is simply a sign of special care from the God of Death.
Otherwise, even if a small snake crawls in during this period, 'she' is just someone else, no, it should be said that it can only be the belly of another animal.
Although 'they' have now broken out of their shells, the turtle shell is still too soft and fragile compared to the turtles that have been broken for many years. When danger comes, even retracting into the turtle shell will not help.
, can only cower and wait for the scythe of death to swing.
The most important thing right now is to leave here quickly. Since the mother turtle dug a nest here, it means that it is not far from the river. As long as 'they' can reach the river in time and return to the tribe, they will have a high chance of surviving.
.
Chuanyun tried to communicate with the group of little turtles around him who were crawling around in the cave and biting each other's shells vigorously. He tried for a while but couldn't make a sound.
Then she remembered that turtles have no vocal cords and can only use their respiratory tract to make sounds.
She tried it, opened her mouth and applied force, and suddenly a sharp gasping sound came from her mouth, which scared her to shut up quickly.
As soon as the sound came out, all the little turtles paused for a moment, and then, like an ant's nest being stabbed, a series of gasping sounds came from the entire pit, which made people think.
tmd!
What a shame!
Chuan Yun decided not to make a sound for the rest of his life, and whoever heard it would know the feeling.
She must escape from this "land of right and wrong" as soon as possible.
What you see in front of you is just a group of ordinary turtles that have not yet developed their intelligence, groping for the world based on their animal habits.
Turtles are social animals, so as long as she sets an example and is the first to climb out of the hole, I believe that all the other little turtles will follow her.
So Chuanyun took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and kept telling himself in his heart:
Anyway, for those who don’t know, it’s not bad to be a turtle. At least you can survive in the wild with a house and security, and you can live a long time.
Then he started waving his limbs and climbed up towards the entrance of the cave with his hands and feet in an extremely uncoordinated manner.
She felt ashamed, but she didn't say anything.
Some baby turtles that were still climbing on each other's shells saw this and quickly climbed up together.
After getting familiar with it, I found that the turtle's crawling speed was not slow, but it was a bit laborious to climb up. Compared with saving his life, Chuanyun naturally did not hesitate to use this strength.
She groaned and just climbed to the entrance of the cave. Before she had time to see what was happening outside, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in front of her - a snake.
There was a thump in my heart, and the word "It's over" filled my brain.
I saw its snake's head standing up, the snake's tail making a "squeaking" sound, and the fishy smell coming to my face. The two-meter-long snake body was probably as thick as an adult's arm, winding behind it.
The dark and delicate scales sparkle in the sun, making people shudder.
God is really going to kill her, no matter what she says, she is so lucky even if she buys lottery tickets, right?
Chuan Yun froze in place motionless, his subconscious reaction was to stare unblinkingly into the black snake's sharp eyes, trying to intimidate it.
But she seems to have forgotten that she has a pair of squinty eyes smaller than a mung bean, which can be ignored.
Besides, who is the enemy she faces?
That is a snake. It is recognized that the eyesight is poor. It cannot tell the difference between humans and animals at a distance of one meter. It relies on the infrared image formed in the brain by infrared radiation to capture its prey.
Although turtles are technically cold-blooded animals, they have just broken out of their shells, their bodies are still warm, and they are within the range of being hunted.
The strategy adopted by Chuan Yun still had some effect. At least the black snake became wary when it saw its prey was motionless and did not attack immediately.
But this situation was quickly broken by a group of little turtles crawling out of the cave behind them, still panting.
The snake suddenly launched an attack, biting towards the most conspicuous Chuanyun. It was very fast, like a bolt of lightning. Its long fangs were sharp and thin. You could tell at a glance that it was highly poisonous and would kill you if it touched it.
Kawayun, who had always been on guard, slapped the ground hard with his right paw, and the whole turtle body began to overturn. He also slapped the snake's head with his claws, and used the force to roll the whole turtle body on the ground for more than ten times before it stopped and left.
attack range.
She escaped the fatal blow, but the real little turtles behind her were not so lucky. Several of them were directly smashed into the soil by the black snake, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
The little turtles were immediately frightened and let out sharper gasps and scattered in all directions. The scene was comparable to a car accident scene.
Chuanyun glanced at the surrounding environment, which was a sandy land with not very lush weeds.
As she thought, they were not the only "turtle nests" around. There were little turtles crawling out of the mud every few dozen meters, chasing each other and running in the same direction.
Countless long drag marks were left on the ground.
It seems that 80% of it is the way to the river.
Of course, there is more than one "predator" in this area now. There are more than a dozen big birds hovering in the sky, flying high in the air, blocking out the sky and the sun, and their chirping alarming the sky and the clouds, resounding throughout the sky.
Chuan Yun recognized it as a white-shouldered eagle, also known as an imperial eagle, with dark brown body feathers, lighter head and neck, and obvious white spots on the shoulders, which were very eye-catching on the dark brown body feathers.
It likes to feed on rodents, small and medium-sized mammals and birds, and its diet is unimaginably wide.
That is a terrifying existence that can tear an adult turtle shell in half in an instant and eat it!
It's such a bad time, there are ferocious eagles above and venomous snakes below. This is simply a hellish start.
The snake didn't know if it had a grudge against her slap. It stood up straight, turned its head and spat out snake bites at her, and continued to jump towards her to bite her.
Seeing this, Chuanyun ran along the traces on the ground, using all his strength.
When a person is faced with the threat of death, his potential for collapse is unlimited. Even a turtle can run at unusual speeds.
And Chuanyun is the leader among them.
She was seen crawling on the ground extremely fast, surpassing one after another of the little turtles who were also running for their lives.
And the snake was chasing after it, not caring about the food that was easily available one after another around it.
Stinky snake, rotten snake, stingy snake, isn't it just a slap in the face? He is so vindictive, his heart is smaller than the eye of a needle, no wonder he can only be a snake in this life.
Seeing that the black snake was still chasing him, Chuanyun couldn't help but curse in his heart.
No matter how fast she was, it was nothing compared to the hunting speed of a snake. The black snake caught up with no effort and bit the weak her hard and accurately.
A creepy feeling suddenly arose in his heart. Kawa Yun could feel the black snake's saliva dripping on his turtle shell, but the terrifying feeling seemed to come from somewhere else.
Perhaps it was because her turtle was unusually fast that at the moment when the black snake bit it, an imperial eagle that had been attracted by Chuan Yun let out a long chirp and swooped down almost at the same time.
The sharp claws that were supposed to grab the turtle shell accidentally grabbed the black snake's head. The black snake had no time to react and subconsciously wrapped its body around its claws, and was eventually taken away by the gliding imperial eagle.
The danger to life is temporarily relieved, but the threat to life still exists!
Chuan Yun did not dare to let down her guard at all. The shuddering fear had never appeared before when she faced ten kilograms of Tatp high explosives, but at this moment, it was so strong.
In this unfamiliar territory, the law of the jungle is the norm.
The biggest threat to her life at this moment was never the black snake, but the imperial eagles hovering in the sky.
Knowing that she was being targeted, Chuanyun knew that continuing to run would only lead to faster death, so she immediately stopped and decisively started digging into the soil with her two paws.
The only way to survive now is to hide underground.
Royal eagles are migratory birds and do not stay in one place forever. They will leave after hunting to fill their stomachs.
The unilateral "massacre" on the ground continues.
Chuan Yun didn't know how long she had been pawing, and she didn't know when her claws were broken. She just repeated the action mechanically over and over again. The blood was mixed with the soil as she kept kicking behind her with her short legs.
She only knows that the deeper she digs and hides, the greater her chance of survival.
She didn't fall into a coma until she was unconscious, exhausted, and unable to lift her paws anymore. This chapter has been completed!
