After Bai Jun had eaten, he felt a little tired, his body felt weak, and he didn't want to move. He kept hiding under the water, and every time he felt short of breath, he would quietly poke his head out to take a breath.
This is the first day of his new life, the goal is to survive and find the cave!
Yes, snakes also need to sleep. Except for hibernation, they also need to sleep and rest like humans every day.
However, due to different species, some snakes like to stay out at night and sleep in caves during the day, while some snakes like to hunt during the day and hide at night.
Thanks to his father in his previous life, who was a snake lover, he also knew some of the living habits of snakes. Perhaps it was God's blessing that he became a snake. At least he was not at the bottom of the food chain, and he was still white.
A relatively familiar creature.
Bai Jun looked at the turbid underwater world and resisted the thought of missing his past life. This was an underwater world full of dangers, and he could become food if he was not careful.
In the afternoon, the sunlight shifted little by little, and finally the sun set on the west mountain. The sunset glow piled on the mountains, the dusk birds returned to their nests, and the animals returned to their dens.
Occasionally, one or two roars of beasts were heard from the deep forest in the distance. The sky gradually darkened. Stars began to appear in the sky. Light clouds and mist rose into the mountains and forests. The sun finally restrained its arrogance, and everything in the world felt cool.
It's dark.
Human beings should go home to eat, sleep and rest, and stop their daily life.
However, creatures in the wild are fighting every moment, and every creature is still facing the threat of killing and being killed.
Bai Jun finally moved.
He swam slowly toward the edge of the beach, where there was very dark and sticky mud.
If he was wearing a white snakeskin and wandered around at night, he wouldn't be able to see the sun the next day.
There is often sedimentation along river beaches. What humans call a muddy land, if it stretches for several miles, is called a swamp. If you fall into it, you will only die.
But the mud in this pool is obviously very small and shallow, but it is enough.
Bai Jun slowly twisted his waist and paddled towards the mud, then rocked and flipped in the mud like a loach, making the shallow water area so turbid that even crabs couldn't see what strange thing was causing trouble in it.
Soon, a small black snake took advantage of the turbidity of the water and the darkness of the night to crawl out of the water and swim up to the pebbles.
This little black snake is Bai Jun in disguise. He controls the muscles around his body to relax and lets the mud wrap around his white body to avoid the sight of night predators.
The sound of toads and frogs could be heard from time to time in the pool, and occasionally a swimming fish stirred up water with its tail wagging. Not far away, two large praying mantises were having sex, and then one swallowed the other, which did not resist, into its belly.
The sharp mantis made Bai Jun feel cold. For him now, such insects are too scary.
Bai Jin crawled in the cracks of the cobblestones. With the help of the cobblestones, he crawled out of the water nearly ten feet away. Even though the ground was very rough, he didn't make a sound and swam under a huge boulder.
This boulder looked very huge to Bai Jun now, and it was difficult to estimate its size. He crawled under the gray boulder and inspected it with his hot-colored double vision, and found that only tiny ants lived here.
Although Bai Yan is worried about these ants and has some fears, compared with other "overlords" around him, they are already the most manageable creatures.
Look, there is a nest of woodpeckers on the big willow tree over there. Their mouths can peck themselves to death or even eat them.
Besides, the big toad that jumps frequently among the water plants can wrap itself up with its tongue and swallow it.
There are also crabs and large river shrimps that may live in many mud holes along the river, and their claws make Bai Jun feel chilled.
Therefore, these little ants are really kind and can give themselves a place to live!
Bai Jun's body was covered in thick mud, and even if these ant groups came out, they might not be able to bite through the protection of the mud.
But he deliberately found a place far away from the ant nest, twisted up close to the stone base, and checked several times before falling asleep.
Snakes will be suffocated to death if they sleep in the water, even water snakes, unless they are sea snakes.
So the best choice for Baijun is the shore near the water.
The moonlight at night covers the earth like snow and frost. In the distant mountains and forests, there are some enlightened beasts greedily devouring the essence of the moon. Without exception, they are at least the beast overlords in a certain area!
Only when you are strong enough to scare nearby creatures and have no worries about your life can you have the capital to desire immortality.
Bai Jun was sleeping quietly, and his body wrapped in mud was growing little by little, making it difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
That night, Bai Jun slept very uneasily. He would wake up every once in a while and nervously observe whether there was any danger approaching.
Until the sun rises on the second day, nocturnal predators begin to rest, and daytime creatures become active.
Bai Jun also started his second day of life after waking up for the seventh time.
It is midsummer now, and it will be the end of summer in one month. According to Bai Jun's knowledge in his previous life, the four seasons may be the same throughout the year, and there may be winter here.
Because he found some reeds in shallow water. Although they didn't grow much, if he remembered correctly, reeds should grow in tropical and temperate climates. However, there were no obvious tropical organisms in the nearby plants, so they were very large.
It may be a temperate zone, so winter is very likely!
Human beings are still afraid of the cold winter, but creatures are naturally more afraid, and snakes are one of the most feared creatures.
Bai Jun has a sense of urgency. He not only needs to survive, but also needs to eat more and grow up.
Only by becoming thicker and longer can he survive!
Only then will you be better able to find a place to hibernate and avoid freezing to death.
Bai Yan crawled towards the pool again, and swam to the shallow water with the help of the cover of dense plants. Snakes could not stand the hot weather now, even if it was just the beginning of the sun, so there was no need to absorb heat to activate blood circulation and warm up the stiff body.
This time, he aimed at the snails and field snails at the bottom of the water.
Bai Jun doesn't care that they have a hard shell, as long as they reach his stomach, sooner or later they will turn into his own nutrients.
He now has no appetite for these plants.
Because his snake brain and biological instinct have no interest in these plants.
Bai Jun dived into the water, and after a week of exploring, he found that there were no other powerful hunters, so he swam straight to a snail and swallowed the unresponsive snail in one gulp.
The hard shell of the snail entered his stomach, which made Bai Jun feel a little uncomfortable, but he endured it.
If you want to grow, you must eat meat. Snakes do not eat plants.
After Bai Jun swallowed six snails and snails in a row, he hid under the water again and reduced his activities. The more he moved, the greater the risk of exposure, and the greater the danger of being discovered by predators!
He found a similar species nearby, a black water snake!
Bai Jun's heart tightened, snakes can eat each other!
Fortunately, this fellow creature seemed to have no interest in him and swam away leisurely.
It has a body length of nearly two meters, so naturally nothing can threaten its existence in this pool.
However, Bai Jun was a little confused. The environment of this pool and valley was very suitable for biological survival. It stands to reason that there should be many large carnivores to form a complete ecological food chain.
For example, like the one just now, if there are birds passing by this valley from time to time, then there must be snake-eating creatures such as eagles and vultures in the mountains. However, Bai Jun observed for a whole day and did not see any large birds passing by.
There are even no packs of wolves, leopards and other creatures on land.
After all, the water source in the mountains must be the place where most living things appear.
Bai Jun didn't understand and stopped thinking about it. He just lived with peace of mind.
…
The sun rises and sets, day after day passes. In the blink of an eye, Bai Jun has lived for a month.
His body also grew from less than a foot to a foot and a half long.
Although it is still very short, it is no longer the young snake that even insects are afraid of.
Now as long as Bai Jun is careful, he can continue to grow.
But now, Bai Jun still has to pass this last hurdle!
molt!
Bai Jun has entered the last day of his blindfold period, and his eyesight will soon be restored.
Snake shedding is not as simple as shedding a piece of skin in a few hours. The complete process is a physiological activity that takes nearly half a month.
Generally, the corneas of both eyes of snakes will turn smoky blue about six days before they shed their skin, and then they will be temporarily blind for three to five days. After regaining their sight, they will start to shed their skin in another three to five days.
And in this whole process, the most dangerous thing is not only the time of molting, but also the three to five days of blindness.
Although Bai Jun managed to survive this difficulty by not moving for three days with amazing perseverance, he was now very hungry.
He needs to eat! Otherwise he will be trapped and die in his own snake slough after three days because he has no strength to break out of the snake skin!
Bai Jun swam into the water. He had already devoured all the snails, snails and other creatures nearby. Now only some fish came here to wander around.
He wants to eat fish!
Bai Yan hid his figure and waited quietly for half an hour before he finally found a suitable prey.
An orange-sized flower fish swam over!
This is the largest prey he can eat, and it is also the only small fish among these fish.
The little flower fish swung its tail and nimbly wandered in the water until it swam close to Bai Jun, as if it felt something and wanted to swim back.
But Bai Jun shot out very quickly like an arrow and bit the little fish hard, then quickly contracted and wrapped around the fish's body.
As long as it is entangled by him, the little fish will die.
Bai Yan tightened his body hard and squeezed the little fish hard. No matter how fiercely it resisted, it could not break free from the entanglement of the snake's body. It was exhausted little by little, like a water fish that had been squeezed dry.
Then Bai Yan opened his upper and lower jaws, which were already somewhat difficult to control, and began to swallow from the head of the flower fish. Little by little, he swallowed the body of the flower fish and entered his throat, then the body and stomach, until the tail of the flower fish started from Bai Yan.
After swallowing it in his mouth, he finally finished eating!
However, the snake's body has also become more bulky and bulky, which is very inconvenient. The body has been stretched a lot, as if it has swelled.
Bai Jun crawled back to the boulder and hid in the small mud hole he drilled under the boulder, digesting food quietly and waiting for the day when he would shed his skin.
If a snake eats a large prey, it can last for several days. This small fish is considered a giant to Bai Jun.
Three days later, when the sun rose high and the scorching heat of summer forced the animals to huddle in their nests, only Bai Zhen crawled out of the mud hole and wrapped around a pebble that had been heated by the sun.
Molting has begun!
Bai Jun felt extremely itchy all over his body, and wished he could tear a piece of flesh from his body, as if that was the only way to relieve the itching.
Fortunately, this pebble was extremely hot due to the sun, and the hot hard stone body could relieve the huge itch on Bai Jun's body.
Bai Yan was gradually tortured by this strange itching and went crazy. He tried his best to wrap the snake body around the pebbles, as if they were entangled to death. The sun was shining brightly, and the snakes and rocks were intertwined. Bai Yan used all his strength to frantically rub the bulges of the pebbles, using that
The sharp edges pierced his body.
Finally, when Bai Jun was exhausted, a gash was opened in his upper jaw, and Bai Jun's head came out from there.
As soon as the first step comes out, everything else will be easy to handle.
Bai Jun managed to get out of the old skin little by little, and his body spread out to be two feet long!
Bai Jun felt relaxed and almost fainted. Fortunately, he persisted and dragged his bright white body into the mud to hide his body.
