Chapter 25: Memory

The stream flows through the forest, and the moonlight hits the middle of the water, reflecting the fat fish.

Ning Hao decided to settle down by the river for a while, the river fish he had just tasted was good, the meat was fresh and tender, and the aftertaste was endless, and the rats didn't plan to leave here too far before they got tired of eating.

The mouse sat cross-legged on the ground again, and had just finished eating a whole strange animal that was bigger than himself, and Ning Hao, who couldn't wait, decided to try his guess.

Whether it is a human or a mouse, there seem to be three hundred and sixty-five large acupuncture points in the body. Although the body structure is different, these hundreds of acupuncture points exist in an extremely harmonious way, as if as stated in the Heart Sutra, there are great secrets in the body, and the mysteries are infinite and difficult to guess.

The power of impermanence, which can also be said to be impermanence energy, is running in Ning Hao's meridians in a mysterious route, and from time to time new energy gushing out of the void converges into Ning Hao's body, and in the lower abdomen of the mouse, the food is rapidly decomposed and digested, and it has also become a part of this energy.

After cultivating, Ning Hao's appetite became extremely large, and the food that entered his stomach would be decomposed at an extremely fast rate, turning into impermanent energy in his body. As his body grew day by day, Ning Hao also needed more energy to support the huge consumption of his body.

As the energy in his body ran for a week, Ning Hao suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more in his mind, and it seemed to be a bright light, rising and falling in his dark mind like a firefly.

Ning Hao brought his consciousness closer to the past, and a tidal wave of memories gushed out, which was the experience and past of a life since birth.

In that memory, Ning Hao has been a lonely person since he could remember.

It has never seen its parents, and can only survive by gnawing on the rhizomes of plants.

One day, a fawn covered in blood ran to the neighborhood, only to see that the deer's stomach was bitten by something, and streams of bright red blood flowed out, staining the land all the way.

The fawn crawled on the ground, a faint wail from its mouth, and there was no way for such an injury to survive in the jungle.

Ning Hao hid to the side and watched for a long time, not knowing what mood it was, it slowly came to the side of the fawn, looking at the fawn's passing life, there was an inexplicable feeling of excitement.

Blood flowed out from under the deer's body, and the smell of blood gushed into his nose, and Ning Hao's head was a little dizzy. As he smelled this smell, Ning Hao felt that the blood in his whole body was hot, and his heart was beating extremely violently.

When he came to his senses, Ning Hao didn't know when, he had already buried his head between the deer's chest and abdomen, and was licking the blood along the wound.

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little panicked, but a force from his bloodline was trending towards his further movements.

It imprinted its newly developed teeth on the fawn's neck, and the sharp teeth instantly tore the fawn's skin, and a stream of blood burst out and sprayed it in the face.

It should have bitten into the carotid artery, and the already dying fawn trembled slightly in its mouth, and the blood flowed into its mouth, fishy and sticky.

It turns out that this is what blood tastes like.

It turns out that such sharp teeth are not used to eat grass, these animals are what I should eat.

Since then, it has started to hunt small animals in the jungle.

Most of the small animals in the jungle are not as strong as it, but whenever it approaches those animals in the dark, the creatures with keen senses scatter early, leaving no chance for it to hunt.

Looking at the reflection in the stream, the dark fur is clearly defined in the sunlight, and it can be seen clearly from a distance. It is a little overwhelmed, maybe this is the reason why its parents abandoned it, with a dark appearance, it is difficult to hide itself in a green jungle, and whether it is constantly attacked by wild beasts or to attack others, it will be exposed to the enemy's vision for the first time.

On that day, it wandered in the forest for a long time, until the sun disappeared and the night covered the jungle.

Bang!

It froze for a moment, as if something had hit it. When I looked down, it was a big brown rabbit, and I don't know why it came out so late, and it actually hit its head on its own leg.

Holding down the big rabbit with one paw, it suddenly realized that its body could blend harmoniously into the night, and it was easy to find it at all.

After feasting on the rabbit that it delivered to its door, it decided to hunt only at night henceforth.

It finds itself able to see far in the dark, and as long as there is a little light, it will not lose its way. The soft fur can reduce the wind sound when moving, and the soft thick cushion between the palms can make every action silent.

It turns out that I belong to the night.

Every night hunt pays off, and it is a nocturnal hunter who is free to choose its own food in the dark while most animals are resting and sleeping.

Until that night, a huge light appeared by the river, as if the sun had set in the jungle.

On the edge of that "sun" there was a huge mouse, which it had never seen before, and it should be enough to eat itself for three days.

It reached behind the rat and prepared a lethal move, biting its throat in one bite......

————————

Ning Hao's consciousness was detached from this memory, and this memory seemed to come from the black panther he had just eaten.

But I've eaten so many animals, why is there only this panther? Or is there something special about this panther?

Ning Hao's consciousness began to search in the dark mind, expecting to find something else.

Sure enough, in addition to the memory of the black panther like a firefly, there were also a few dim and barely visible glimmers, hidden in the corner, and if it weren't for Ning Hao's careful search, he wouldn't have found it at all.

Consciousness entered one of the light clusters again.

In this group of memories, Ning Hao didn't feel anything at all, except for the surrounding environment that seemed to be turquoise and deep underwater, nothing else was known.

There were still a few light clusters, Ning Hao connected his consciousness in turn, and still couldn't feel any useful memories, just some fragments such as hunger and fear, and he didn't know why.

"Could it be that the IQ of those animals I ate before is too low to have any memory at all?"

Ning Hao tried to run the exercises, and the energy flowed, and it ran for a whole week. Compared with before, the speed of operation this time seems to have really improved a little.

Ning Hao nodded thoughtfully, if he continued to hunt like this, his cultivation speed would definitely increase.

Although he didn't know why only the memory of the panther was left in his mind, the mouse had a big heart, and he believed that as he continued to hunt in the forest, he would one day understand all this.

For the next few days, Ning Hao was eager to try.

He had the confidence to eat all over the jungle.
