Chapter 004: Hunting

Since he couldn't figure it out, Xu Jing didn't think about it anymore, the purpose of his crossing was very clear, that is, to obtain the origin point.

And if you want to get the origin point, you need to make the current python body stronger in this world, so that when you leave, you can transform the body into more origin points.

Xu Jing has seen the movie Anaconda Disaster 2, and he is also very clear about the efficacy of the blood orchid.

The structural unit of life is the cell, and each cell, after 56 self-replicates, rapidly secretes toxins, leading to necrosis, which is the "Haflik limit" and the reason why all species die out on a regular basis.

The Blood Orchid, also known as the Flower of Immortality, is composed of a chemical component that allows cells to exceed the limit of 56 times, which can extend the life of cells and thus break through the limit.

Xu Jing's current body is a forest snake, and even before he died, his body was constantly growing, and the reason why he was able to grow to this level was because he had swallowed blood orchids.

The blood orchid increased his lifespan, and the longer he lived, the bigger and bigger his body became, and naturally, the stronger his strength became.

The return is unlimited, Xu Jing just tried, but with his current body, he directly chose to return, and he could only transform to obtain 83 points of origin, and he couldn't even get the original back, so when the system asked if he was sure to return, he chose to refuse.

The speed of time flow in the two worlds is also different, and after coming here, Xu Jing got the relevant information from the system.

The world in which his human body is located is equivalent to five days of the Python Plague in one night, so he can stay here for five days.

If you want to get the most origin, the fastest way is to swallow a large amount of blood orchids, as long as you eat something in your stomach, whether it is completely digested or not, it will be converted into a source when you leave.

In Xu Jing's opinion, the blood orchid unique to this world is very likely to be the treasure that contains the most origin points.

Fortunately, the time he traveled through was exactly the time when the blood orchid was in full bloom.

There is a strong smell in the air, which is the estrogen emitted by the female snake and a signal for courtship.

Monty pythons throughout Borneo's rainforests can sense this signal through their sense of smell.

"Shhh

Xu Jing kept spitting out the letter, trying his best to suppress the instinctive impulse from his body, and then quickly crawled in a certain direction.

He wasn't in a hurry to mate, but because he knew that the Blood Orchid was located on the cliff above the mating ground of the pythons.

Walking through a damp woodland, Xu Jing felt half of his body soaked in water.

During the rainy season, heavy rains caused the river to swell and flood the entire riverbank.

"Poof!"

He slid forward for a while, and the entire snake sank into the river with a loud noise.

At this time, a steamer passed by and headed upstream along the river.

A group of men and women on the boat, most of whom heard the loud noise, looked at each other suspiciously, and looked suspiciously at the source of the sound.

"Gollum ......"

I saw huge bubbles emerge from the bottom of the water, tumbling for a while and then regaining calm.

"What's that?" Dr. Jack Byron of the expedition asked, wide-eyed.

"I don't know." Bill Johnson, who was the captain of the ship, said with a solemn face: "It's the rainy season, and the waterways will be more dangerous than usual. ”

Jack's assistant Shan snorted coldly and said to Johnson, "You said you could get us safely." ”

"That's right." Johnson nodded, and said without refusal: "But safety does not mean speed, if the situation is not right, I will change the course." ”

As the sky grew darker, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and the members of the expedition suddenly became a little irritable as they looked at the surrounding rainforest.

"Okay, don't overthink it, we'll definitely arrive safely."

Jack was the last thing he wanted to have a problem, and as the leader of the expedition technology team, he was under a lot of pressure to find the blood orchid for the company.

Xu Jing was swimming under the water, and in his induction, the boatload of people was like a light bulb, shining incomparably brighter.

He hadn't had eaten enough for days, and when he spotted the members of the expedition, it was as if he had seen a lot of the most delicious food.

The instinct from his body made him feel extremely excited, and he impulsively followed behind the steamer.

"Damn it! Such a strong instinct! It can't go on like this. ”

Xu Jing stopped suddenly, although he was incarnated as a python, his mind and soul were human beings, and the thought of eating people made him feel disgusting.

"I'm going to fill my stomach first."

With this cold glint in his eyes, he swam to the shore and slowly climbed up into the rainforest.

Food is not easy to find during this season, and most animals hide in their nests, preferring to go hungry rather than risk going out in search of food.

Of course, there are exceptions, a certain black panther who was a little faint with hunger couldn't stand it anymore and walked out of the lair.

It searched for a long time, but found no prey, so it had to pick a wild fruit from the tree and eat it angrily and helplessly.

At this moment, the jungle, which had been full of insects, suddenly became silent, except for a strange faint rustling sound, as if something rubbed against the fallen leaves piled up on the ground.

The panther pricked up its ears and looked up warily at its surroundings, its yellow pupils shrinking, and then roared as if it were a great enemy.

It smelled danger, and could discern potential hidden enemies from familiar scents.

In its memory, it had had such an encounter somewhere, but that time it not only escaped, but ended up hunting the other person in turn.

However, this time it was a little reluctant to take risks, and the continuous hunger caused its physical fitness to decline severely, and even its footsteps were not as agile as before.

The panther maintained a fighting stance and began to slowly retreat, roaring from time to time, conveying a threat to the enemy in the shadows.

Xu Jing spit out the letter, the low head of the snake gradually raised high, and the vertical pupils exuded a cold light, locking on the black panther.

He didn't act rashly, although he had a strength far beyond the black panther, but his physical strength was not superior, and he couldn't block the opponent's claws and teeth biting, and this was a jungle black panther, and his speed and agility were not inferior to his own.

Of course, Xu Jing also has his advantages, and the most important thing is that he is in the shadows and is in the role of a hunter.

And just now he misled the panther with his long snake tail, causing the other party to misjudge his position, as long as he got closer......

Sou!

A gust of wind rose behind the panther, and a bloody mouth bit through it as fast as lightning.

"Roar!"

The black panther turned around and jumped back in horror, but it was useless, its upper body was bitten by Xu Jing fiercely, and then the snake's body was entangled, accompanied by the "click" bone joint popping sound, the struggle became weaker and weaker, and gradually disappeared.

PS: Seeing that there is a problem of cannibalism, I will explain it here:

The current protagonist is an ordinary person with a decent three views, even if he grew up in a welfare home in his previous life, he never complained about anything, he is now crossing the giant python, first of all, he is still a human being in thought, not a python that really relies on instinct to act.

As a normal (this is the point) ordinary human being, he has never even killed anyone in the first place, and he will not easily take the initiative to harm people if he is not forced or helpless, and there is no shortage of food in the jungle, and he has not been forced to starve to death and have no food, right? Why cannibalism? He still has to go back, he is still a human when he goes back, and if he eats people, can he accept it when he goes back?

Change takes a process.,If you start eating people as soon as you cross the giant beast.,Isn't this character a contradiction with my previous setting?

Of course, I also know that to write about this kind of monster, born with the existence of human enemies, conflicts are inevitable, the protagonist will slowly change, this takes a process, everyone has to be a little patient, but also give me some time, little by little to write this transformation, right?
