Bai Lan crawled back into his mud hole again, turned his head and looked at his body, which was two feet long, that is, sixty centimeters, and the thickness of an adult's thumb.

Although such snakes still have many natural predators, they are no longer easy to be afraid of even crabs and mantis like young snakes.

At the very least, he was less dangerous to grow in this waterhole.

Bai Lan coiled his body and fell into a deep sleep.

Fang Cai's molting exhausted his energy, he was so tired!

And the snake skin that he had decomposed was gradually scorched by the sun.

After all, the temperature of the pebbles in summer is so terrifying that even eggs can be baked, and the danger that Bai Lan did not think about was eliminated by the sun.

Because some creatures can find the owner of the snake according to the taste of the snake shed.

……

When the daylight was a little weaker, Bai Lan woke up quietly, he twisted his head, spit out the snake letter to sense the external environment, and then twisted the snake body and swam into the water, predatoring, which is the behavior of the creature that never stops.

There is no more nourishment in the stomach and new prey is needed to fill the stomach!

This time, Bai Lan was full of confidence, and his fear of underwater creatures was much less.

Not only because he has grown, but also because there are two poisonous fangs growing between the flesh and bones of the roof of his mouth!

Bai Lan is a poisonous snake!

And according to common sense, the brighter the color of the snake, the more poisonous it is. Bai Lan's bright white body also shows that he is not shallow!

Now, of course, the white body is covered with layers of swarthy and foul-smelling sludge.

Bai Lan's sense of smell is still very sensitive, and the smell of this body of mud enters the vomeronasal organ in his nasal cavity, and then transmits to the snake's brain to tell him that the smell is very stinky!

But what if it stinks a little in order to survive?

It's all a snake, and it's going to be like a human being? That would only kill you.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest! Nature's cruelty is never short of animals to prove.

Bai Lan retracted his thoughts and looked at the various aquatic creatures that came and went, looking for prey.

A large crab swam awkwardly with its pincers, and Bai Lan was not interested. Although he is not afraid of crabs now, if he hunts for crabs, he is likely to be injured, and the pair of pincers is not an ornament.

And wild animals, when injured, can be extremely fatal.

The point is, crabs are all shells and have less meat!

Bai Lan no longer goes to the snails in the mud and sand, it is too difficult to digest and the nutrients are indeed too little.

In the future, he will eat fish and shrimp!

He also doesn't move the big river shrimp, he eats small shrimp only, or has more delicious shrimp to be satisfied.

Fish, although it has spines, has a lot of meat, and one fish can meet his consumption for two days.

A fish with shining scales swam cautiously in front of Bai Lan's eyes, this fish is a common grass carp in freshwater rivers, a herbivorous omnivorous fish, the size of a child's palm, it is definitely a big meal for Bai Lan!

Bai Lan waited quietly, and the place he chose to hunt was the most abundant aquatic grass in this shallow water, and it was a favorite feeding place for herbivorous fish.

This grass carp was vigilant for a long time, and finally couldn't help but tempt the swing of the fish body to swim over, and the fish mouth caught a piece of aquatic grass and young leaves into the stomach.

Bai Lan did not rush to make a move, and only when the prey ate was eating the most cheerfully was the moment when they relaxed their vigilance.

Seeing that there were no predators, the little grass carp relaxed and devoured the aquatic grass leaves one bite after another.

Bai Lan slowly arched his body, his center of gravity was close to the front and back, he aimed at the timing, the snake tail suddenly exerted force, and the snake body flashed out at the same time, like a sharp arrow shot at the grass carp that had not had time to react, biting through the scales and injecting snake venom.

The grass carp was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly flicked its tail to give a tail flick to the guy who dared to attack it.

But the white snake body has penetrating force, and the snake body bends and dexterously dodges the fish's tail to counterattack, and the snake body quickly wraps around the fish body, and the muscles of the whole body contract tightly and tightly strangle the struggling grass carp.

The fish and snake were entangled, and there was no buoyancy to slowly fall into the bottom of the water, and the grass carp still refused to give in, desperately swinging its tail and body, trying to break through the entanglement of the snake's body.

But for fish without claws and hands, snakes are already doomed to food when they get tangled around them.

The grass carp gradually exhausted, and the toxins in its body attacked, and after about a minute or two, it stopped struggling.

Bai Lan didn't use all his strength to squeeze and kill like ordinary snakes, although it can kill its prey faster, but when you use all your strength to hunt, you become food in the eyes of other creatures.

This is the rule of survival that Bai Lan remembers: never expose all your strength in front of an unknown enemy.

Bai Lan opened his mouth, opened his upper and lower jaws to the maximum, and slowly swallowed from the head of the grass carp.

Since the fish was too big for his body, it took him ten minutes to swallow it.

Snakes are the four fatal moments of weakness in eating.

The first fatal moment is hibernation.

The second fatal moment is the whole molting process.

The third fatal moment is the legendary Dragon Boat Festival.

The fourth fatal moment is when swallowing prey.

Third, for today's Bai Lan, it is still too far away, but it is always right to take precautions in advance at any time.

Bai Lan swallowed the food, and then leisurely went home, and even crushed a few little neighbors to death.

Now that it is the summer heat, Bai Lan does not need to bask in the sun to warm up his blood, and he has to rest when he is full, which is one of the mysteries of longevity snakes.

The heat is unbearable, but under this boulder is a good place to enjoy the coolness, the temperature is suitable, the warm wind blows, and the white eyes are sleepy.

When he was dazed, he seemed to see a huge figure in the distance, from far to near.

Bai Lan suddenly came to his senses, and when he looked closely, it was a giant turtle swimming out of the water.

That's a big turtle! There are three turtles as long as him and nearly two meters in size, isn't it a sperm?

Moreover, turtles are omnivores, and some species even eat meat and have a fierce temperament.

In a hurry, Bai Lan could only shrink his body and bury himself in the mud hole, watching the giant turtle climb onto the boulder where he lived.

Then the giant tortoise did not move, and lay down on the boulder and basked in the sun.

Countless thoughts flashed in Bai Lan's heart, but he didn't expect that nothing had happened, as if people didn't care about him at all.

No wonder there are no large carnivores near this waterhole, there is a monster living here.

However, this also made Bai Lan's heart feel relieved, at least this monster seems to be relatively gentle, and it can calm the peace of this side, so that there will not be any terrible existence such as eagle vultures.

As long as Bai Lan does not provoke this "old man", he is also an animal, and he is not a human, and it is not impossible for animals that do not feed each other to live in harmony.

The old turtle crouched on the boulder, the old turtle/head elongated, and a pair of cloudy eyes looked at the sunlight gradually shifting to the west, bathing in the sun, quiet and eternal.

Bai Lan was also sleepy, so he could only nest in the hole and wait until the sunset had come out of the sky, and the old turtle stepped into the waterhole leisurely and swam to the depths of the water.

After the old turtle left, Bai Lan carefully climbed the boulder for the first time, and he was instantly fascinated by the scene outside the mountain.

I saw the mountains surrounding the sunset, the red glow was dotted with green mountains, the birds flew to the clouds and the sky was the same color, and the willows were under the pond according to the trees.

For the first time, Bai Lan had expectations for the future, and he wanted to one day climb the mountains, watch the sea, go up for nine days, take in the moon, visit the world, and see the red dust.

Enjoy the rivers and mountains for thousands of miles, and travel all over the world. I'm still here.
