[15] Mysterious Cave
A breeze blew on the rippling lake, and the drunken moon stood up and enjoyed the baptism of the breeze, which was particularly pleasant.
She has now grown from a 50-centimeter snake 1 month ago to an 80-centimeter snake, and her body width has reached 2 centimeters. She is already a big snake for ordinary humans, but for researchers, a 5-meter python is also a small snake......
The drunken moon also experienced the second molt in the snake, the snake's skin lacks glands, no sebaceous glands or sweat glands, etc., so the skin is often dry, and the epidermis is prone to keratinization.
When the snake body grows to a certain extent, it is necessary to shed the keratinized skin and regrow the skin, and at the same time, the scales have been broken after a certain period of wear, and they need to be replaced with new intact scales.
The process of molting each time is difficult, but after molting, it is very comfortable, the body is almost reborn, especially the eyes become brighter and more comfortable......
"Maybe the feeling of a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon is the same, and it takes a painful process to get a momentary sense of comfort, but unfortunately a butterfly can only enjoy it once in its life. Drunken Moon sighed secretly in her heart.
When you are hungry, you can catch fish and shrimp in the cave or river, and when you are leisurely, you can simply exercise, or take a walk on and around the lake.
The size of 80 cm makes it impossible for small animals to use themselves as food, and with the buff they may not be able to beat medium-sized animals, and suddenly Drunken Moon feels that life is too dull, less fun, and a little less exciting.
At some times when she was full of food and had nothing to do, she decided to go on a long trip, and being reborn in the forest was not only for her to survive here, but also for her to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and it was also her yearning when she was a human being, and now it is about to be realized.
All while exploring the surrounding terrain in search of a path to human civilization.
So she left home for a month, and after another month, she took the cave by the lake as the center and carried out a great exploration of the land within a radius of 10 kilometers.
At this time, her body length has reached 1 meter, and she has not suffered any life and death crisis within a month, and once she also beat away a bobcat, causing Zuiyue's self-confidence to burst.
She found that about 10 kilometers to the east, about 10 kilometers east of her home, was blocked by a steep cliff with a deep cave infested with bats.
She immediately thought of the cave through the mountain, maybe through this mysterious cave can pass through this mountain, return to the familiar city, and walk back to human society!
Drunken Moon recalls that the animals living in the deep cave should not pose much threat to her life, and with her strong curiosity, she decides to go to the cave to explore, or play.
I ate a fat crab the day before, and set off early in the morning to the long-awaited deep cave.
The snake was slow to move, and the Drunken Moon had already picked up speed, and it took 2 hours to reach the distance of 10 kilometers.
This cave is countless times larger than the home of the drunken moon, the entrance of the cave alone is five meters high, seven or eight meters wide, the outline is jagged, looking at the cave from the outside is a deep darkness, faintly hearing the devil's shouts from the cave, when approaching the cave body, I feel a mysterious aura permeating the air.
Walking into the cave, all the light is swallowed up by the darkness, and the howls of evil spirits are gently entwined in the ears, which should be the strange cries of bats, and the eyes are pitch black, which makes people can't help but feel creepy.
The bat overhead flew endlessly, and the sound of its wings flapping into the air was like a greeting, and people with dense phobia would probably be scared to death if they saw this scene.
Bats are the only mammals that have evolved to truly fly, mainly using ultrasonic echolocation signals to search for food, detect distance, determine targets, avoid obstacles and avoid predators.
Vampire bats have always been a psychological shadow for many people, but most bats do not live by sucking blood, and many species of bats feed on pollen, fruits, insects and fish.
Bats are actually docile animals, and snakes are also natural enemies of bats. Moreover, the 1-meter-long drunken moon is much stronger than the average 1-meter snake because of its long-term exercise and complex mind, and it is also blessed with buffs, so she is not worried that bats will pose a greater threat to her.
I just don't know which is stronger or weaker between the echolocation of bats and the thermal sensing ability of snakes, but it can be determined that the positioning range of bats is larger, but the thermal sensing of snakes is more accurate.
The drunken moon swam hundreds of meters in the winding cave full of holes, and a faint light faintly appeared in the dark night, which turned out to be some glowing stones, and the flying bats seemed to be naughty little devils under the reflection of the glowing stones, and the prototype of the devil's wings was the bat's hand wings.
Under the light of the light, Zuiyue unexpectedly found that the hard stone wall was carved with strange totems, some human and some beasts, as if telling some story...... It's just that she doesn't understand the meaning.
Like a relic of an ancient civilization, she has traveled 1,000 meters through the cave and has entered the deepest part of the cave, where a huge boulder stands in the center of the cave like a loyal patron saint, and looks particularly mysterious under the rendering of the colorful stones around it.
Through the faint light, I approached the stone stele, and there were blurred Chinese characters engraved on the stele!
"The Burning King stretches the red cinnamon branch to the river of history, expelling the twilight, and the supreme soul will finally usher in a new ......"
Drunken Moon recites the words on the stele in the dim light. With all her attention to the words on the stele, she didn't seem to notice a pale figure approaching quickly......
