Chapter 4 The Hunter Becomes the Prey

Night falls.

Chuan Yun was awakened by holding his breath.

Although she is a turtle, she also needs a breath of fresh air.

Luckily, she was a turtle and could stay underground for so long.

There was an indescribable pain all over my body, especially in my hands...... Wrong...... Now it should be her claws, as if she was being stabbed by ten thousand hot blades, and like her muscles are twisted, twisting into a ball, stimulating her nerves.

If you can still feel the pain, then it proves that she is still alive.

Chuan Yun raised his trembling paws, overcoming the pain in his body and slashing towards the road he had come, although the soil was loose, and the speed of scavenging was much slower than when he came down.

Thankfully, she used her lungs to circulate and breathe, and the thin air in the soil was enough for her to survive along the way.

Digging and shaping, her paws gradually became numb.

I don't know how long it took, Chuan Yun felt that the air contained in the surrounding soil had become more, and his heart suddenly surged, igniting hope for life.

So he sped up and slashed upwards.

Under the moonlit night, the slaughter of animals in nature is quietly premeditated.

Chuan Yun finally dug away the last layer of soil, carefully poked out his little head, and squinted his eyes to look around through the silver-white moonlight.

There was silence all around, seemingly safe, but in fact there was a hidden danger.

Just three meters away from her, under a clump of slightly yellowish weeds, a small snake the thickness of a thumb was wrapped around a cracked turtle shell, Doudou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he licked the remaining flesh and blood with a satisfied expression.

Everywhere there were hatchlings torn in half, blood and entrails spilled all over the ground.

The turtle eggs, which had not yet hatched, had long since been broken, and there were bloodshot eggs and partially developed corpses, and countless flies and beetles attached to them.

It shows how innocent and tragic his death was.

His heart sank, the clouds moved, and he ran in the direction of the river in his memory by pulling his legs against the ground.

At night, without predators from the sky, her chances of survival can reach 80%.

Lady Luck seemed to be beginning to favor her this time, and there was no sudden danger along the way, until she felt the thick moisture in the air and the weeds on the ground were overgrown, and Chuan Yun slowed down.

It seems that she is very close to the river.

At this moment, the figure of an old friend appeared in her field of vision, it was the black snake that had just been taken away by the eagle.

Needless to say, he has naturally become a prey, disemboweled, and died a miserable death.

All she saw was its skin, and tens of thousands of ants clinging to it, squeezing out the last bits of flesh and blood, not even an eyeball.

The original dark and delicate scales were badly damaged, and they were still sparkling in the moonlight, but they told the world to be hot and cold.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Hunters eventually fall prey.

Chuan Yun silently bypassed its corpse, not because of the sadness of the dead rabbit and fox, but because she was self-aware.

The general trend of the world is mighty, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die; The grasshopper shook the tree, did not measure its own strength, and the embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill.

She was just a young turtle that had just broken out of her shell, hungry and tired, and she could slap an ant to death, but a swarm of ants was enough to kill her in blood.

So I had to guard against it.

It is better to return to the tribe early and grow up within their shelter, only then can she have a little resistance in this animal kingdom of the jungle.

She had such a good intention, but when she reached the river and was about to sink to the bottom, she was unprepared to be slapped on the shore by an adult turtle about the size of a basketball.

Chuanyun, who was photographed on the shore: I'll go to your fork!!

Is there any mistake, the temper is so short-tempered, you are a turtle, I am also a turtle, a beautiful home needs us to work together to build, and the turtle family needs us to carry forward together.

I finally escaped and ascended to heaven and finally returned to the group, and you actually engaged in personal heroism, or not, or not!

Chuan Yun sighed in his heart, and tried to turn his body over with great difficulty in the same place, but his limbs were too short, and he was helpless for a while.

It's really infuriating!

When the other adult turtles in the vicinity heard the movement, several of them surfaced, and they looked at it casually with their eyelids open, and they all continued to sink to the bottom with their eyelids drooping.

In the end, Chuan Yun finally flipped his body, but he was sleepy and tired to the extreme, and he no longer had the spare strength to test the territorial consciousness of other adult turtles nearby.

I gnawed a common aquatic plant around me, chewed it and swallowed it with a mouthful of water, and my stomach felt better.

Bitterness is naturally bitter, but is she still qualified to be picky now?

Chuan Yun decided to put it on for the time being.

I picked a piece of dead wood hidden by aquatic plants in a small puddle, burrowed into the hollow, closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

She was so tired.

In fact, most of this water area is ownerial, especially there is more than one adult turtle here, with a fiery temper and strong sense of territory.

Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, let alone a group of turtles with a huge bite force.

Ordinary small animals don't dare to come, she sleeps very comfortably.

In his sleep, Chuan Yun unconsciously retracted his head and limbs into his shell.

On the second day, when the first rays of golden light fell on the gray sky, Chuan Yun opened his eyes.

She watched in amazement as the morning glow reflected the tranquil water, and the cries of unknown insects in the grass on both sides of the river mingled with the murmuring of water, composing a dawn music with the early birds in the forest foraging for food.

A red sun rises, bringing a ray of hope to all things.

Hopeful ...... Dawn?

Looking at the two paws that were already red and swollen from inflammation and unconscious, Chuan Yun fell into confusion for the first time after coming to this world.

What should she do after that?

Judging from last night's situation, the ethnic group is unreliable.

It is impossible to die, and the primary purpose of the plan for the present is to live well.

Well, in order to stay alive, let's start by healing these claws and finding food!

Her gaze grew clear until it became resolute.

Climbing out of the dead wood, Kawayun tried not to use his forelimbs to crawl, using the turtle shell on his chest as a support, and quietly approached the other river bank with the help of the power provided by his feet.

After a while, she found Houttuynia cordata in the grass covered by lush aquatic plants, and also found a hidden wild duck nest in which about seven or eight eggs lay quietly.

Chuan Yun lay on the wild duck eggs, swallowed his saliva, and left with some disappointment after feeling the rhythm of life coming from inside.

It's a pity that this is an opportunity to supplement calcium and protein.

Locking onto a Houttuynia cordata, she then turned sideways and began to dig up the whole plant with her hind legs.

The leaves of Houttuynia cordata can not only be anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral, improve the body's immunity, and its roots can also be used as food, which is collectively called folded ear root in Yunnan-Guichuan.

At present, this is also the most convenient food and medicine for her as a young turtle with serious injuries to her forelimbs.

For the time being, I will promise not to starve to death or die of disease, and as for the rest, I will wait until the injury is healed.

Chuan Yun's movement was not small, and several old turtles with yellowed carapaces and very dense circles on the markings surfaced near the riverbank, and their eyes glanced at her lightly, and then they continued to close their eyes and sink.

Seeing that Chuan Yunxiao's heart was pounding, those turtles were more than ten times the size of hers, and seeing that they didn't come to beat herself, she breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously slowed down.

I thought that even if I became a turtle, it was still necessary to respect the old and love the young.

In fact, after all, she is begging for a living on other people's territory, disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, and she is a little temperamental, she is afraid of provoking others and being beaten by the group.

Seeing that she was almost done, she carefully approached the water's edge with the dirt-stained Houttuynia in her mouth.

found that there was no turtle to drive him away, so he boldly threw the houttuynia into the water, washed it with his head, washed his face by the way, and ran back to his temporary "nest" after picking up the houttuynia cordata.

—in the hollow of the dead wood tree in that small puddle.

She threw all the houttuynia into the hollow of the tree, and continued to wash and carry the rest back several times in the same way as food.

I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, I accidentally slipped into the water on the way to carry it, and Houttuynia cordata immediately drifted away along the current, she couldn't swim fast, and she couldn't catch up at all.

Perhaps the adult turtles in this water area foraged for food, and she was not embarrassed.

When she climbed ashore, she found two wild duck eggs in the grass near the water, and she could feel the warmth coming from her stomach.

It is a fresh duck egg!

With joy in his heart, the corners of Chuan Yun's mouth showed the first smile after coming to this world, and from the outside, the corners of his mouth were only slightly raised, looking cute and cute.

Xu has hope for life in her heart, I don't know if it's an illusion, she feels that her forelimbs have regained some sensation.

The forelimbs and head are pressed on the wild duck eggs, and the hind limbs are skillfully kicked to transport the two duck eggs back to the "nest" by rolling.

Stacking Houttuynia cordata and duck eggs neatly in a corner of the hollow of the tree, she bit off a few leaves and chewed them in her mouth, spitting them on her forelimbs with saliva.

And keep hypnotizing yourself: the saliva is your own, don't dislike, don't dislike.

The 'broken teeth' on the tip of the nose pecked at the eggshell, and the crystal clear egg liquid flowed out instantly, Chuan Yun hurriedly stretched out his head and drank half full, and the remaining half of his stomach was filled with folded ear roots.

The morning had passed after all this, and by noon the sun was falling through the cracks in the dead wood into the hollows of the trees.

It's the middle of autumn, and the sun is not so scorching, but warm.

Satisfied in his stomach, Chuan Yun lazily leaned against the cave and began to bask in the sun, sleepiness hit, and gradually fell asleep.

This time, she had a sweet dream.

In the near future, she conquered all the turtles and turtles in this area of water by force, and carried forward the turtle and turtle race.

So that the young have something to support and the old can rely on.

All the turtles here are convinced of her, offering her the sweetest fruits and the freshest duck eggs.

Just as she was drinking the freshest egg mixture, an old turtle suddenly rushed over and shouted anxiously, "Oh no...... King, Master...... The master was captured by the monster again. ”

(°ー°〃)!!

Chuanyun opened his eyes suddenly, and from the cracks of the dead trees, he could clearly see the blue sky and white clouds, the breeze was warm, mixed with the smell of grass, and the birds in the forest were chirping, pleasant.

All of these tell her the fact that she has been dressed as a turtle very clearly, as if all the things she has experienced in her previous life are like a different life.

And that dream, just ...... Outrageous.

Sure enough, I thought about it day and dreamed at night.

It's a pity that she is not Sun Wukong, she will not change seventy-two times, and she will not cross 108,000 miles with a somersault cloud.

In fact, she turned over and couldn't even kill an ant.
