Chapter 3: The Mountains and Lonely Pools are Born with White Snakes

Bai Lan's consciousness gradually fell into a coma, and he realized that he was becoming weaker little by little, if he continued like this, his consciousness would only completely dissipate, maybe it was the soul that others said!

Outside the maple forest, this thousand-year-old river is cut off by the relics of Buddhist monks, and the red jade bead of Bai Lan also flows downstream with the surging river, and does not sink when encountering the water, and moves along the water, this water is the water of vitality, and there is a heavenly will in the living water.

Bai Lan's vision floated under the river, swimming fish, mud eels, shrimps, turtles, snakes and crabs, he had seen them all.

In his previous life, he had a phobia of the deep sea, and now immersing himself in the world under the river is also a kind of torture for him.

The river flowed downstream, his vision was always shaky, and Bai Lan couldn't tell the sun and the moon alternately, and he didn't know how much time had passed, until one day, he was carried by the river and washed into a gentle current.

A fist-thick black-gray water snake took the red jade bead as a swimming fish and swallowed it in one gulp.

Bai Lan's consciousness has since fallen into chaos and ambiguity.

But it was said that the water snake swam all the way down, and after two months, the size became larger and larger, and the snake's belly became bloated, and after predation, it finally stopped in a shallow water stall, and it was about to lay eggs!

The female snake hovers under a hidden shallow beach, where the water temperature is neither hot nor cold, there are abundant aquatic plants to obscure the view, and the water depth is just right, and there are few creatures, which is an excellent place to give birth!

After a few hours, the snake's coiled body suddenly unfolded, as if in great pain, and the snake's tail kept swinging and stirring up the dust at the bottom of the water.

After a day and a night, a small gray snake with a very slender gray snake was the first to emerge from under the tail of the female snake.

Water snake reproduction, is egg breeding viviparity, in the body of the female snake to give birth to snake eggs, and then hatch in the body, which is also the reason why the female snake is becoming more and more bloated.

After hatching, the baby snake will be born by the mother snake outside the body, and does not have to go through the stage from egg hatching to snake in the outside world, which can greatly improve the survival ability of the young snake.

I saw one young snake after another crawling out from under the tail of the female snake, and there were nine young snakes, coiled around the female snake.

The female snake thought that the egg was finished, but unexpectedly, her body ached, and she gave birth to a white snake egg the size of a plum.

The female snake lifted her body and spit out the snake letter to feel the heat in the water, but found that there was no heat, it was obviously a dead egg!

The mother snake didn't care, she could produce fifty or sixty baby snakes a year, and there were often dead eggs.

After a short rest, the female snake left the waters with her young son, after all, the waters were unfamiliar to her, and there was an instinctive fear of animals deeper underneath.

Originally, the female snake had lost the keen perception of this animal by laying eggs, and now that the labor period has passed, the female snake is of course in a hurry to leave.

And the dead egg, which was abandoned by the female snake, was left there without any care.

Dark clouds gathered over this water tank, and there were clouds and rain in the early summer evening.

"Boom~"

Thunder and a summer rain came.

The water level in the waterhole rose, and the snake egg was lifted by the water to a rocky stall on the edge of the waterhole.

After a few hours, the rain stopped, the sky was dark, the moon was rising, and the occasional fish jumped up in the pool, stirring up a wave of water that reflected the full moon in the pool.

The waterhole is backed by high mountains and faces the valley, and the rolling hills in the distance prove that this is a land of mountains.

On the land not far from the waterhole, a thick weeping willow towers, and from time to time there is the sound of wild owls spreading their wings, and occasionally insects chirping in this silent dark night.

A wild deer cautiously came to the waterhole and looked down to taste the sweet water, but fortunately did not step on the snake egg.

The full moon rose, the water level of the waterhole receded, and the moon shone on the snake egg, and there was no magical light, and the valley was as quiet as ever.

On the second day, the sun rose, illuminating the world and enabling the creatures of this valley to flourish.

The snake egg was illuminated by the sunlight, and gradually gained a trace of heat that no one noticed.

The sun rises and the moon sets, time shuttles, and in a blink of an eye, seven hundred and forty-nine days have passed, and summer has also changed from the beginning to the beginning, and the poisonous sun is exposed to everything without mercy, and even some branches of the weeping willow have died.

At noon, a weak breeze blew, and the snake egg, which had been silent for seven hundred and forty-nine days, finally moved again.

I saw a crack emerge on the gray eggshell and gradually expand, spreading to the entire eggshell.

"Click~"

A voice too low for humans to perceive came, a white snake's head poked out of the eggshell, it looked up and felt that the sun above its head was extremely hot, so the little snake crawled out of the eggshell and swam into the water.

This little white snake is Bai Lan.

He was swallowed by the female snake in the belly, but he was conceived into a young snake, and the red jade bead was still stuck in his current seven inches, like a snake ring.

Bai Lan didn't know how long he had been in a coma, now that he had been reborn as a snake, he should cherish his life again, and he had suffered the most unbearable torture in the days he had been trapped on the red jade bead.

Even if you are reborn as a snake in this life, you must live well. After all, this is a world of immortals, Buddhas and demons!

Bai Lan turned his head to look at his white body, did not complain about the inconvenience caused by the white body, only dived down and buried himself under the stems and leaves of the turquoise aquatic plants, the warm water of the pool at noon in midsummer was the most suitable for the survival of his delicate body when he was born.

His vertical snake pupils were different from ordinary snakes, and Bai Lan was able to see the colorful world, like human eyes, which was his only consolation.

However, when Bai Lan spits out the snake letter, he can sense the heat of the surrounding creatures, and he has a double vision superimposed!

Bai Lan was overjoyed, this was the only fortunate place in all kinds of suffering. He wants to take advantage of this and live well.

Only by living can we have everything in the future.

After all, the survival rate of the water snake is only sixty percent when it is young, and he is far away from the female snake, and the survival rate is less than thirty percent!

Fortunately, it's the height of summer!

Summer is the hottest season of all life, even if the plum blossoms bloom in the frost, they must thrive in the summer to grow branches, so that the plum fragrance of the cold winter day is fragrant.

Bai Lan stabilized his body and remained motionless, he was a little hungry.

The weak eyelids outside the vertical snake's pupils closed and grew, and slowly spit out the small snake letter that had only forked slightly, and he sensed the biological heat within a few feet around him, and a large toad covered with pimples squatted among the rocks of the water beach, using the blue-gray moss that had grown from the pebbles soaking in the pool water for a long time to protect himself.

A catfish arched and arched at the bottom of the water not far away, and found a nematole under the muddy shallow cement sand to swallow in its belly.

Bai Lan also faintly heard the sound of wings flying in the sky, I don't know if it was a wild goose or a sparrow.

Bai Lan was pleasantly surprised to find that there were several late-born tadpoles not far from his body!

In such a hot and stuffy day, it is probably the height of summer, tadpoles are very difficult to see, and now this group of tadpoles has also turned into a third leg, each about the size of half an unpeeled peanut, for today's white lan, it is a good meal.

The snake's cranial nerves stimulated his mind, tempting him to eat the delicious food and keep himself alive!

Bai Lan is very patient, thanks to the time spent trapped on the red jade bead for months, which gave him the heart to endure loneliness, and the memory of human beings gave him the wisdom to surpass the beasts!

He was like a white silk thread, floating under the dense aquatic grass, motionless, quietly waiting for his first prey!

"Fluttering Ridge~"

Suddenly, a large bird in the sky folded its wings, lowered its head and pecked at the water, and a pair of birds watched vigilantly to see if there was anything that could pose a threat to it. But it's a wild goose that drinks water.

And the sudden arrival of this wild goose startled the hidden toad on the river beach to jump into the water with a "poof".

The three-legged tadpoles under the water panicked, and Bai Lan's heart moved, and he suddenly opened his mouth and bit the third leg of a tadpole, and then swallowed the struggling tadpole into his stomach.

There is no way, Bai Lan's body is too small now, no more than 20 centimeters in length, and the thickness is not as thick as some grass roots, just like a larger white earthworm.

The tadpole taste is still good for Bai Lan, who is now a snake, and this good feeling is not from the mouth and tongue, but from the stomach to the brain after being slightly satisfied.

Because snakes do not have odor-sensing organs in their mouths, it is difficult to taste food.

"Fluttering Ridge~"

"Fluttering Ridge~"

After the wild goose drank nothing, dozens of wild geese suddenly fell from the sky, and it turned out that the previous wild goose was a scout.

However, the fall of so many birds alarmed countless creatures along the river beach, one by one river shrimp and crabs hid in the mud holes, and large and small fish swam to the deepest depths.

The most humble river snail by the poor river did not have time to escape, and the speed was the slowest, and was fed by the flock of geese, and even some small fish and shrimp escaped and were pecked by the geese.

Bai Lan did not panic in the depths of the aquatic weeds, but instead took advantage of the school of fish to swim around, and devoured a three-legged tadpole, a small shrimp, and a small fish fry, full of stomachs!

After they were full, they hid in the depths of the aquatic weeds to hide the sight of the geese, and did not move, waiting for them to rest and leave here.

At the same time, he was also digesting the food in his stomach, after all, he was only a young snake, and his digestion was still very weak.

After waiting for half an hour, the geese flew away after eating and drinking.

At this time, the wild goose had just flew, and the huge sound of flapping its wings frightened countless creatures to not move, and only Bai Lan understood that this was the safest time to take the opportunity to summon his anger.

Snakes can't breathe in water, but snakes are also cold-blooded animals so they need very little oxygen, and water snakes have air sacs in their bodies that can store air for their bodies.

After summoning the qi, Bai Lan dived into the water again, completely stopping his body to reduce physical exertion, and at the same time for the sake of physical growth.

At this moment, he was a newborn snake, his body was so fragile that a crab could cut him off with a pincer, Bai Lan had to wait for himself to grow up, his body gradually became stronger, he wanted to live, this is his only thought now.

In the natural world where survival is a problem and dangers are everywhere, how can he be distracted to fantasize about the immortals and demons of the future?

To stay alive and protect your own life is the number one priority for all animals except humans.
