"It's not that the prince is disobedient just now, but that he knows that this ginseng has an owner, and it will definitely kill if he goes, so he won't lead the way!"

Everyone walked lightly and chatted at the same time.

After hunting the python just now, everyone's mood suddenly relaxed, since even the python at the top of the food chain was killed by everyone, what else is there in this forest that they can't defeat?

Yun Yi thought so at first, and rewarded the group of animals at home who had made a lot of effort to eat some honey, especially Xiaobai and Lightning, who saved Yun Yi several times, and were given the most honey by Yun Yi.

However, after that, Yun Yi became cautious, because he noticed that Xiao Bai still looked vigilant, and a trace of uneasiness floated in his heart, as if someone was staring at him.

It felt like it was in the dense forest over there at first, but it disappeared in the sparse woods, and when the python was hunted, it reappeared after a while, letting him know that there must be some animal staring here.

The prince led the people all the way, walked for a while in the woods, and suddenly turned in the direction of the mountain, and in less than an hour stopped on a hill that was connected to the mountain.

"Wow, this is where the prince dug ginseng just now!"

Everyone exclaimed, and then they all noticed the rough pit that the prince had dug on the ground, and immediately they all ran up with cheers and began to dig the beard of the ginseng.

"You guys!"

Yun Yi laughed, and didn't care about everyone, he was born and died together, and he also returned a five-hundred-year-old ginseng, plus the crisis just now was caused by ginseng, according to reason, he should give some to everyone, but everyone knew that the purpose of looking for ginseng was to recuperate the body of the big girl and Yun Yan, so they didn't speak.

Hands behind your back. Yun Yi wandered around the hill.

This small mountain bag is a part of the mountain body of Hehan Mountain, and after going up from the small mountain bag, you can go all the way to the big mountain of Hehan Mountain.

After walking not far, Yun Yi suddenly felt that the grass in front of him was sparse, and within two clicks, he saw a hole with a diameter of one meter, which suddenly shocked his heart: This hole is so thick, could it be that there is an even thicker python inside?

"It shouldn't be, the climate of this Mohe River is so cold, it's incredible that it can grow so thick, how can there be a thicker snake?"

Yun Yi was wondering in his heart. Xiao Bai, who had been wandering around, ran to the entrance of the cave and went straight in.

"Damn, Xiaobai come out quickly!"

Yun Yi was shocked and hurriedly dragged Xiao Bai, but Xiao Bai had already gone in, he hesitated, and immediately rushed in with a gun.

The hole was very narrow, but it was very smooth, and it seemed that the big python was going in and out.

Compared to the python, it is very smooth. Yun Yi could only squat, barely moving forward, not running in as fast as Xiaobai.

"Nima stinks!"

What made Yunyi feel even more unpleasant was that the stench in this hole kept getting into his nose. It made him very uncomfortable.

After walking forward for a while, he suddenly heard Xiaobai's scream, although he was not in a hurry, Yunyi still took two steps. Then I felt that the hole suddenly widened, and it opened up in an instant.

Turning on the miner's lamp he was carrying, Yun Yi could roughly see the shape of this snake cave. The terrain here is very open, and the miner's lamp cannot fully illuminate this place, and the place beyond the pillar of light is still very dark.

The height of this cave is about four or five meters, the width is about ten meters, and the length is also about ten meters.

Unlike the mud walls, this is a completely stone cave, and it is clear that this is a natural stone cave and the temperature here is very high.

"No wonder it can grow so big, there is such a good hole, the temperature is so high, presumably the temperature here in winter is enough to the east without being frozen to death!"

Yun Yi nodded, thinking about the doubts in his heart.

"Whew!"

Xiao Bai screamed, Yun Yi hurriedly shone the miner's lamp in the direction where Xiao Bai was, and found that where Xiao Bai was squatting, there were more than a dozen python eggs the size of goose eggs!

"No wonder the prince was able to steal the ginseng safely, the big snake usually hatches eggs in the hole, and occasionally comes out to hunt only to find that the ginseng is lost, so we go to pursue, our luck is really declining!"

Yun Yi said with a wry smile, sighed for a while, and then pondered what to do with these snake eggs.

"Fuck, I almost didn't kill Lao Tzu just now, although I took your ginseng, but you did too much!"

Thinking of what happened just now, Yun Yi suddenly felt scared for a while, according to the pile of eggs is two feet, and the pile of eggs were broken in an uproar.

"Forget it, let's keep one, this big snake is so treacherous, presumably the offspring hatched are more intelligent, and it will definitely come in handy in the future!"

Just when Yun Yi was about to trample on the last egg, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly showed mercy and put the egg into the space.

Xiao Bai saw that Yunyi stopped moving, and began to lick the broken balls, and his face still looked very enjoyable.

"You're a good guy!"

Yun Yi smiled, touched the little white head and prepared to sit down, and chased the lights of the mining lamp in the road, and suddenly the white in the corner attracted Yun Yi's attention.

Curiously walked over and shone it with the light of the miner's lamp, Yun Yi suddenly found that the white light turned out to be a piece of crystal bone and round gray-white scales!

Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, could it be that this big snake actually ate the same kind as food?

However, Yun Yi soon vetoed the idea in his heart, because from the pile of bones on the ground, it was obvious that this pile of chaotic bones was much larger than the python he killed, at least more than one and a third of the big python.

But how did the serpent get eaten? Generally, pythons are not poisonous, it is a big python that eats Xiao Mang, how did this female python eat this python?

Just when Yun Yi was puzzled, he suddenly noticed that under the snake bones, there were all kinds of animal hairs, judging by the color of these hairs, this was all excreted by eating animals last year, and there were no new hairs this year.

Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the cause of the male python's death, and after a long while, he slowly squatted on the ground, sighed, and a burst of tears flowed silently in his eyes.

Pythons usually burrow in April, and the breeding season is from April to June, and eggs usually begin to lay in late April.

This is the reproductive period of most temperate pythons, and here in Mohe, the temperature in April is still below zero, and it is absolutely fatal for pythons to go out; It takes at least late May to dare to go out of the cave during the day.

And because the temperature is too cold, and the winter here in Mohe is too long, from September to May of the following year, it is a hibernation that cannot be hunted for seven and a half months, which makes the python very slow at first, and may not be able to catch prey.

The incubation period of snake eggs is about sixty days, and when the snake eggs were broken just now, many snake eggs already had rudiments, and it seemed that these snake eggs were fifty days old; In other words, these snake eggs were laid in late May.

After the python lays eggs, the body will be much weaker for a while, and the body temperature of the female python will rise several degrees after laying eggs, so that the nutrients consumed will be faster; This is a function that pythons have evolved over tens of millions of years, and raising body temperature allows the female python to lay on the snake eggs to hatch snake eggs.

Eight months of hibernation, coupled with the birth of snake eggs, as well as the consumption brought by the rise in body temperature, can definitely consume all the energy stored in the female python's body.

However, if you want to hunt, with the body that has just finished the east side, and the effect of the temperature on the speed of movement, even if the male python is large, it is very difficult.

Male pythons can't catch prey, and if female pythons that consume too much can't get supplemental nutrition, the result is definitely that female pythons starve to death, and these snake eggs will also starve to death.

Therefore, this male python will enter the stomach of the female python, for the continuation of the offspring, for the sake of the female python, the male python can be willing to be eaten by the female python.

Maybe the male python was not voluntary, maybe it was eaten for special reasons, but Yun Yi couldn't think of how a male python with a body three times that of a female python could be defeated by a female python, only voluntarily

In this world, the greatest thing is not the powerful violence, but the love and affection (to be continued......
