Chapter Thirty-Seven: Dawn, Big Fish, Strange Snake
In the early morning, the water of the lake shrouded in light veils is gentle, turquoise, and white mist flutters above the lake.
This adds a touch of mystery to the mountain lake.
It's like a beautiful girl with a veil that doesn't let people see herself.
After a while, the sun slowly rises from the side of the mountain, releasing a golden light, the white mist disappears, and the shimmer light is sprinkled on the lake, and the lake water is like a mirror, reflecting the light to the giant silk tree by the lake, and instantly dyeing the green giant tree golden.
And the countless hanging whiskers of the giant tree, under the stirring of the breeze, are like the slender hands of countless enchanting women, dancing with unpredictable gentleness.
The lake water is so clear in the morning that it reflects the blue sky.
From afar, the lake looks like a flawless sapphire, clear and bright. There are a few waterfowl swimming on the surface of the lake, and the microwaves stirred up by the soles of their feet ripple in circles and spread into the distance. When the sun shines, the sparkling waves are like a lake full of broken gold.
In the jungle next to it, there are birds and beasts chirping from time to time.
On the edge of the lake, there are also some beasts buried in drinking, and not far away, birds of all sizes walk on the shallows to feed.
Everything seemed so peaceful, so peaceful.
Suddenly, a large fish sprang out of the lake, opened its mouth full of sharp thorns, and bit the beast drinking from the lake. A fierce beast shaped like a sheep reacted quickly, suddenly bounced up on its back, and escaped. But some of the beasts next to it weren't so lucky. The big fish in front seemed to be a signal to attack, and the big fish in the back rushed out of the lake one after another, biting the fierce beast that was drinking water.
In an instant, blood stained the surface of the lake.
The blood stimulated these fierce beasts to go crazy, and they attacked each other frantically, not only the fierce beasts were dragged down the lake by the big fish, but also the big fish were bitten to death by the fierce beasts and dragged ashore to feast.
Gongliang, who woke up early, saw this scene and was secretly glad that he didn't go to the lake to take a bath last night, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
"Whew"
Gongliang watched with relish, and suddenly heard a round cry at his feet, looked down, and found that this guy didn't know where to push a round egg over, and was asking for credit at his feet.
Picked up the round egg and looked at it, with his shallow knowledge, he naturally couldn't recognize what it was. But certainly not from viviparous. Because viviparity is to give birth to a child directly, there are no eggs. It should be the eggs laid by high-level oviparous animals. Generally speaking, as long as it is an oviparous animal, it will lay eggs, but laying eggs and laying eggs are not the same concept, because eggs refer to those eggs that have a hard shell, but most eggs are not protected by a hard shell, and only higher oviparous animals will lay eggs.
The round egg was the size of a ping-pong ball.
Gongliang thought that it would be good to eat an egg in the morning, and when he was a child in his previous life, he always drank the egg drop soup made by domestic eggs, which was delicious and very delicious. So, he asked Round Roll, "Where did you get this egg?"
Yuan Roll didn't know what he was talking about, but when he saw the egg in his hand, he probably understood what he meant, so he turned around and walked forward. Gongliang hurriedly followed.
Not long after, a man and a beast came to a lake overgrown with water and grass.
Round and not far from the aquatic weeds, he probed his brain and looked forward, but he didn't know what he was observing. After looking at it for a while, and seeing that there was no problem, it ran over as fast as it could, and came to the sand by the lake on the edge of a water weed and dug up. After a while, a nest of eggs appeared in front of Gongliang's eyes.
"Whew"
After digging out the egg, Yuanluo turned around and shouted proudly to Gongliang.
Gongliang touched its head, this guy doesn't know where to learn the skill, he can steal eggs?
Seeing that there were a lot of eggs in the sand nest, he planned to take half of them and eat them. But to his surprise, the little guy actually dug two more nests of eggs from the side. It seems that this is supposed to be a breeding ground for some kind of animal in the lake. Based on the size and number of eggs, the animal should be very large.
Afraid of encountering animals returning from the lake, Gongliang hurriedly took a small half of the eggs from several sand nests, and then buried the eggs in the sand nests with sand again, and ran away with a round roll.
Back at the camp, Round Roll didn't seem to be scared at all, but was very happy, not only howling, but also writhing his ass and wagging its almost impossible tail.
Originally, Gongliang wanted to eat a raw egg to try the taste, but the camp was not far from the lake, and he was afraid that the owner of the egg would smell the smell and run over, which would not be good.
So, he took his helmet and went to the lake to get water to cook.
I don't know what kind of egg this egg is, but after boiling it, I peeled off the shell, and the egg whites inside were as clear as crystal jelly. The difference is only that some of them have egg yolks, and some of them have wombs in between. If you look closely, you can't tell what kind it is, because the fetus is still a small thing.
Yanbe people don't seem to dare to eat eggs with fetuses, but if it's just egg yolk, they dare to eat it, which is cheaper than Gongliang.
In heaven and on earth, there is nothing he does not dare to eat. So, he ate all the eggs that had a fetus.
What he didn't expect was that there were still some qi and blood essences in these fetal eggs, which were different from the heat of the ferocious beast meat and the blood of the ferocious beast, and after eating it, he felt a clear stream lingering in the body, which was very cool.
After breakfast, the group continued on their way.
After walking some distance, I suddenly heard a roar from the lake. Gongliang thought, it can't be that the egg stealing has been discovered, right? I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the initiator, but I saw the little guy standing with the basket in both hands, hunting in the wind, his hair flying, and he looked so coquettish.
The hunting party walked through several woods in a row and came to a foothill.
This place is very strange, not to mention the strange rocks, the grass and trees on it are also withered and yellow, and the further you go, the more desolate it becomes, and finally even the grass and trees are gone, leaving only a gray stone and gravel, which makes people feel as if they have come to a desert area.
When they got up to the foot of the mountain, they came to a wide flat land full of sand and stones, and when they saw that it was almost noon, the team stopped to eat, and Gongliang also released the round roll and let it move freely.
After the group had eaten something, they rested.
After squinting for a moment and waking up, Gongliang found that the round round was gone, so he hurriedly looked carefully, looked around, and saw it lying on a gravel ground with its ass pouting, and he didn't know what it was doing.
When I walked over and looked, I saw that its eyes were looking ahead without blinking. When I looked into its eyes, I saw an octopus bug crawling up at the mouth of the cave on the gravel pile not far away. I don't know what's so nice about this thing, Gongliang pulled up the round and was going back.
Suddenly I felt that something was wrong, turned around suddenly, looked carefully, and unconsciously took a breath of cold air.
What kind of bug is that, it's clearly a strange snake with a bug's tail.
The strange snake has a pair of horns on its head, and its body is covered with a gray and white armor the color of stone, and its tail is not an ordinary snake tail, but an octopus-clawed insect. The snake is also cunning, hiding itself in a small hole in the gravel pile, revealing only a worm-like tail to attract birds that come to feed, and when those things get close, it immediately pounces out of the hole and bites. After Gongliang watched for a while, a bird came over and was bitten to death.
It is estimated that there is still a high degree of poison on the body, otherwise the bird will not be bitten and will not move anymore.
The strange snake seemed to have spotted them, looked at them, and hid in the hole by biting the bird, and never came out again.
Gongliang also rolled back with a round roll.
When he returned to the camp, he told Dashi about it, and Dashi told him that the snake was called Lime and Worm's Tail, and that it was only found in this place, and that it was very ferocious and poisonous, and that it could not be touched.
Hearing his words, Gongliang, who was already a little more careful about the strange snake, called Yuan Roll again, and regardless of whether it understood or not, he gave it a hard lesson and told it not to go there to play again.
