Chapter 2: The Law of the Jungle

The stars shifted, the jade rabbit rose eastward, and the silver light spread down, putting a veil of mystery on Borneo.

It's time for the hunt.

Drilling out of the gravel cave, Zhang Chen held his head high and spit out the snake letter, and the air was filled with a fishy smell.

The rainy season has not yet come, and there is no smell of estrogen in the air, so it can be seen that there are still some days before the blood orchid is in full bloom.

Under the bright moonlight, the black scales exude a black light, and the downstream generation is all small fish and shrimp, Zhang Chen does not plan to stay for a long time.

Chance comes with danger, and danger comes with chance.

The rainforest is harsh, humid air, sticky mud, mosquitoes and flies are everywhere, but for him a python can be said to be heaven.

In the rainforest, today you are a hunter, tomorrow you may be the prey, and if you don't hunt, it doesn't mean that other creatures will let you go.

Zhang Chen wanted to become stronger as soon as possible, so strong that he didn't need to care about the threat posed to him by other beasts.

So, he needs a greater amount of energy.

The turtle can survive on shrimp in the downstream, but for the existence of him who knows the plot well, it is simply a torment.

Leaving the confines of the town, he zigzagged ashore and spat out snake letters, the air mixed with the smell of other creatures.

There was no rain all day, and the smell left in the air was very strong, making it easy for Zhang Chen to identify the direction.

Shuttling through the jungle following the scent, Zhang Chen was cautious, his pale yellow vertical pupils paid attention to the surrounding situation, and the snake letter captured all kinds of information in the air, and he was not the only creature foraging in the middle of the night, bats and owls were all existences that he needed to be afraid of for the time being.

The sound of rustling continued to sound, and the high head shot out violently, and a moth was swallowed by him.

Although the moth is small, it is also considered meat, and after being reborn, his teeth and appetite are excellent, and even the moth can eat with relish.

The moth was devoured by the terrifying digestion ability in the moment it entered its belly, and turned into its own energy. This time, Zhang Chen didn't feel anything unusual in his body, obviously a moth could no longer meet his needs.

Leaving downstream is the right choice.

He has been staying downstream to eat some small fish and shrimp, and he doesn't know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to have the qualifications to capture the Blood Orchid.

When his thoughts were spinning, Zhang Chen had already crawled into the jungle along the vines, chasing the information in the air, and the sound of insects around him gradually increased, and some insects seemed to feel the killing intention, hiding between the branches and leaves and shivering.

This is the fear that the prey at the bottom of the food chain should have for the hunter, and in the eyes of some small insects and birds, Zhang Chen is the hunter.

The body shuttled through the jungle, the speed was extremely fast, and as a few minutes passed, Zhang Chen gradually stopped, his head was raised high, and the snake letter spat out, and his pale yellow vertical pupils stared at a small mound of earth covered by dense weeds.

Although the rich flavor is masked by the smell of weeds, Zhang Chen's snake letter can still capture all kinds of information.

"It seems that the hare has found its nest."

Coming back to his senses, Zhang Chen crawled towards the mound of dirt, he tried his best to keep himself as silent as possible, and quietly approached the nest.

It is an instinct for pythons to prey on prey, and Zhang Chen follows his instinct while reducing the drawbacks, just in case.

Approaching the cave, Zhang Chen spit out snake letters, squeezed into the weeds, and a cave with a diameter of seventy centimeters and a slight downward slope appeared in front of him, and the rich earthy smell was mixed with a stench.

The cavern was not deep, and under his heat-sensing organs, nothing could be hidden from it.

The moment he arrived at the cave, Zhang Chen accelerated suddenly, and the mouth of the blood basin exuded a strong fishy smell, and rushed into the bottom of the cave, with a string of screams similar to a baby's cry, his tough and strong body was already wrapped around a fat hare with blue eyes.

This hare is about twenty centimeters long, it should be a middle-aged hare, and because it is too frightened, it struggles desperately and screams constantly......

However, how could Zhang Chen let go of the delicacy in his mouth, his sharp teeth clenched its neck, its body wrapped in black scales wrapped around its body, and the strong twisting force continued to squeeze its internal bones.

No matter how the hare struggled, Zhang Chen just clenched on, and the twisting force became bigger and bigger.

After rolling in the cave for dozens of seconds, the hare struggled to become smaller, and its body continued to twitch until it was completely out of breath.

In this regard, Zhang Chen did not let it go directly, because rabbits are very cunning, and sometimes they will play dead to make the hunters relax their vigilance, so as to find an opportunity to escape.

In the jungle, Zhang Chen's speed was absolutely impossible to catch up with a wild hare that was running wildly, even if the hare had lost its life, he still maintained his previous state, and a minute passed before he bit the hare's head and slowly swallowed it into his stomach.

The hare is much larger than guppies and pipi shrimp, and Zhang Chen wants to swallow it, constantly opening his mouth to the limit.

For a python, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not, the important thing is to fill his stomach, and for Zhang Chen, what matters is whether the hare has enough energy to provide him.

Thanks to his efforts, the hare finally entered its belly, and its belly was bulging like a balloon.

Now Zhang Chen has temporarily lost his ability to move, but fortunately, the hare's cave is quite hidden, and he doesn't have to worry about other things threatening his life when digesting food.

In the blink of an eye, the terrifying digestion ability reappeared, and at the seven-inch position, the warm energy emitted from the pearl jade covered the entire body, and Zhang Chen could clearly feel that this energy was also strengthening while thickening his body.

Zhang Chen's body curled up slightly, his head facing the entrance of the cave, his eyes closed, and he digested the hare at full speed.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a juvenile python to swallow a hare, but Zhang Chen's growth rate is too fast, and the impossible has become a reality.

Originally, it would take three days for a normal python to digest a hare, but he only needed half a day to digest it.

Late at night, the insects around the cave were bursting, Zhang Chen was much more relaxed, if there was suddenly no insect sound in the jungle, it meant that the danger was close at hand.

He was unfamiliar with the jungle, but the hare's cave served as a temporary shelter.

Warm energy strengthened his body until the early morning of the next day.

The warm sun poured down, the birds in the jungle were singing and the flowers were fragrant, Zhang Chen woke up slowly, the hare had already been digested, and his body had grown from sixty centimeters to a meter in length, seven centimeters in thickness, such a growth rate was quite terrifying.

Compared to yesterday, he looked more intimidating today, and the black scales were more shiny, like armor worn on his body.

"A hare is worth two days of small fish and shrimp that I have hunted, as long as I continue to eat it, I will soon be able to go upstream to find the blood orchid."

"Roar ......"

Suddenly, faintly hearing the low roar of the beast, Zhang Chen raised his head violently, the vertical pupils exuded a cold light, and after pondering for a while, he slowly crawled out of the hare's cave.

Leaving the cave, the roar gradually became clear, and not far from the cave was the warning sound of the beast when it was in danger. In this regard, Zhang Chen was thinking about whether to leave here temporarily, powerful beasts all have their own territory, once they step into their territory, they will be hostile, and even their lives will be in danger.

However, the warning sound is not to himself, but to something else, judging by the sound, it should be the anus of two powerful beasts.

"Roar!"

Just as Zhang Chen's thoughts were turning, the birds and beasts scattered in the jungle, and the fierce roars in the jungle a hundred meters away continued, causing the surrounding beasts to let out a frightened wail and flee.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen crawled along the roots of the tree and went inside, he was also small and had many advantages in the jungle, such as drilling into the cave, the big beasts could not do anything about him.

After only thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Chen finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and wanted to find out, he only needed to hide from a distance and observe, and if things were not good, he would slip away.

Even, slip back into the river.
