Humid and muggy heat permeate almost every corner of the jungle.

After the heavy rain a few days ago, there was a fog that affected the view from time to time in the already well-watered forest.

A small brown snake more than a meter long hid in the muddy soil, starved for a long time, motionless, and patiently waiting for the arrival of its prey.

There was a noise in the distance, and it seemed that an animal was coming this way.

The little snake adjusted the muscles on his body, ready to perform the fatal blow in the best condition.

It seemed to be a large rat, and in terms of size, it should be enough to digest itself for several days. Seeing that the mouse seemed to be unsuspecting and walked in front of him, the little snake suddenly sprang up, leaving a slender shadow on the ground.

The snake's mouth is large enough to swallow an animal several times its size.

The expected contact did not come, as if passing through a realistic shadow, and the long-awaited predation was unsuccessful.

The rat dodged the small snake's blow, and its strong front paws firmly held down the snake's head and body, biting it in two.

Ning Hao has been walking in the forest for more than ten days, during which he has experienced many dangers and grown a lot. From the beginning of the obscene advance, now you can run boldly at the right time.

The forest is not without danger, deadly poisonous insects, ferocious beasts, and many unpredictable crises often envelop Ning Hao.

But in addition, Ning Hao gradually found that he could deal with some challenges with his own strength.

Just like this snake.

At this time, Ning Hao was gnawing on the flesh of this little snake, yes, as a mouse, Ning Hao didn't know when he began to like the taste of snakes.

In his previous life, Ning Hao had tried to eat raw snake meat, but that time did not leave a good impression on him. However, it may have been the experience of eating pythons like crazy, and Ning Hao actually felt that eating raw snake meat was also a try.

For Ning Hao today, cleaning up the ordinary little snake is just a matter of pounce and bite.

"If you have a chance, you must make a fire, and I haven't eaten cooked food for a long time. ”

Ning Hao was eating snake meat while thinking that even as a rat in the jungle, he still missed the taste of the cooked food a few days ago.

A stream of heat gradually spread from the lower abdomen to the whole body, and the rat suddenly flushed abnormally.

"Again... Again... It's begun..."Ning Hao fell to the ground in pain, sweat flowing down.

While he was still conscious, Ning Hao struggled to open the lid of the wooden bottle and drank the remaining man-eating flower juice into his stomach in one gulp.

It's okay not to drink it, drinking this liquid into his body seems to be pouring a bucket of oil on a burning fire, and Ning Hao feels that the sharp pain in his body is even stronger.

From the day I left the lake, every once in a while, I felt different degrees of pain in my body. At first, it was fine, just swollen, but as the number of times increased, the pain began to become more and more intense, and each time it felt like it was dead or alive.

Ning Hao thought that it was because he had eaten crocodile meat and damaged his stomach, but as the number of severe pains increased, he gradually discovered that the reason was not so simple.

First of all, it is impossible to simply eat a bad stomach and continue to have severe pain so many times, and secondly, every time after a severe pain, it is accompanied by the growth of your body size and strength, maybe from a certain point of view, this is also a good thing?

"It seems that there are too many good things to eat before. Ning Hao thought optimistically.

In fact, it is.

As a jungle in another world, the creatures in this world have habits and body structures that are not exactly similar to those of Earth.

From birth, most organisms need to go through the growth period and reach maturity. The maturity period not only means the development and maturity of the internal organs, but also the body size of the organism will be maintained below a standard "limit". Just like on Earth, rats don't grow bigger than a water tank, tigers can't beat trucks no matter how strong they are, and it is said that the tallest human in history is more than three meters, but this is already a mythical story. For tens of millions of years, countless creatures have performed their duties under this rule, guarding their respective duties, as if there is a big lock that firmly locks the genes of countless lives. The world in which all things live seems to be surrounded by a fence, and no one can step out of this fence wall. Occasionally, lifeforms that break through the limits of the race will be treated as aliens by other creatures, and will even be eliminated by the original race.

In this jungle, there is also this "limit". When the creature grows to a certain point, it will reach the limit of this race, and as its lifespan is exhausted, the flesh will gradually decay, and eventually become the nourishment of other life in the jungle.

But there are still creatures, perhaps by chance, or by natural talent, that can grow in size as they continue to eat, as if they can grow endlessly.

These creatures are strange and not exclusive to one family. But they all have one thing in common, they have something called blood essence in their bodies. No one knows how blood essence is born, some creatures will have blood essence in the body as soon as they are born, and some organisms stay in the mature period for a long time, and suddenly one day the blood essence appears in the body, so it can continue to grow and develop again. There doesn't seem to be any necessary connection.

Blood essence seems to be a kind of gathering of qi and blood essence, which contains a large amount of life essence, it can give nutrients to living beings when they cannot eat for a long time, and it will also exude a mysterious power that can support living beings to grow taller and bigger.

That giant crocodile contained such a piece of blood essence in its body.

Ning Hao didn't know all this, that day he inadvertently bit the heart of the giant crocodile, and the blood essence poured into the body of the mouse along with the gushing blood.

As the giant crocodile blood essence continued to decompose in his body, streams of pure and majestic blood qi were released from Ning Hao's abdomen, and Ning Hao's body was about to reach its limit.

Now the muscles on the rat's body have begun to agitate abnormally, and the fur that once felt extremely hard has been torn open cracks, and a stream of blood bursts out of the skin, as if there is a huge pressure in the body.

Ning Hao, who was in a daze, swiped his limbs indiscriminately, and the unintentional collision left huge gaps in the trunks of the surrounding trees.

An unpredictable change is taking place in mice.

The scarlet eyes showed a crazy look, Ning Hao hit his head on the big tree beside him, the trunk of the water tank seemed to be made of tofu, and the sawdust flew, leaving only a huge tree hole.

The empty wooden bottle had long been thrown somewhere, and Ning Hao's slender tail continued to fly with the swing of his body, occasionally smashing on the ground, leaving deep marks.

In the chaos, Ning Hao blindly ran around the forest, and the trees were knocked down behind him, and the majestic power surging in his body was always difficult to vent.

For some reason, as Ning Hao continued to run forward, the animals around him became scarce.

Little by little, the cries of the animals, which had never been stopped, disappeared, and a strange hissing sound began to sound around them.
