Chapter 8: The Aquila and the Snake swear
At dawn on the second day, the sun rose in the east, and it began to rein in its enthusiasm, although it was still hot, it was better than before.
After a night of sleeplessness, Bai Lan lazily crawled to the place where the sun shone with his snake body, and then began to bask in the sun.
His blood experience had cooled down overnight last night, and cold blood would be stiff, and the soft and flexible body of snakes was related to whether they could survive or not.
Even if there are no deadly predators nearby, care will last long.
Bai Lan hadn't met the big water snake he met for the first time for a long time, and he had only occasionally seen a few times in the river a water snake of about the same size as him.
The cold-bloodedness of the snake is not only manifested in the blood, but also in the consciousness. Ordinary snakes, even if they are born to the same female snake, can swallow their own siblings when they are hungry.
Even if the snakes communicate with each other, Bai Lan doesn't know what to say, so he asks a snake who has no intelligence: "My name is Bai Lan, what is your name?" ”
The reason why human beings communicate is because they can have stakeholders, and they have the demands and needs to communicate.
And snakes that live alone are obviously not needed.
No, no, the function of communication will be degraded.
In addition to the late spring and early summer, snakes will communicate deeply during estrus.
There are even some species of snakes that gather thousands of them to lay eggs and reproduce together, and even if the baby snake is born, it does not know who its father is.
Snakes are inherently promiscuous, and there is nothing wrong with this sentence.
Although Bai Lan is very lonely in his heart, the pressure of survival always occupies his mind, so he can't think about loneliness.
Bai Lan crawled in the chaotic and intertwined pebble cracks, quietly basking in the sun, absorbing the heat to warm the blood, today he planned to find a nest, a nest for hibernation.
Although the willow wood is warm and suitable for living, it is not suitable for hibernation.
If he falls into a deep sleep, if a big bird falls from the willow tree, will he not kill himself?
Bai Lan squinted his eyes, and the warm sun was really comfortable on his body, making him soften.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, if there is no oppression of survival, isn't it more comfortable to be a snake that eats and waits for death than a human being?
Bai Lan was a little caught up in philosophical thinking.
Suddenly, Bai Lan raised his head, his whole body became alert, and the abdominal muscles that were in contact with the ground felt the earth tremble.
He dragged his slightly rounded body back into the mud hole.
But after a few breaths, the ground trembled louder and louder, and the dense grass kept swinging, as if someone was parting the thick bushes and grasses.
"Wow~"
A fat figure came out.
Bai Lan's heart trembled, and he saw a wild boar covered with sharp thorns all over his body chirp out.
A pair of small eyes rolled around, and after looking at the valley for a long time, he carefully twisted his fat big ass to the water's edge and lowered his head, and drank the water with a grunt.
It turned out to be a porcupine that only drank water.
After the porcupine drank the water, he went under the willow tree and peed!
Bai Lan watched the old man leave speechlessly.
He climbed onto the boulder and lifted himself up, trying to raise his vision as high as possible to see farther.
Bai Lan looked at it for a long time, and finally figured out the topography of this valley.
The valley is about several miles in size, and judging by the direction in which the sun rises and sets every day, to the north is a tall vertical peak, and a waterhole is tens of feet in size on one side.
And to the south of the waterhole is this big boulder, and the thick willow tree. Less than a hundred feet behind the boulder and willow, there is a steeply rising ridge.
To the east is a gently rising hillside, overgrown with weeds and some unknown wildflowers.
As for the west side, there is a cliff that crosses diagonally, and it is only half a foot away from the mountain peaks to the north, so there is a small narrow road in the northwest direction, and this terrain is called a line of sky.
This valley is surrounded by mountains, but the east and south sides are some distance from the mountains, so that the sun and the moon can shine, and all the souls in this uninhabited valley are nurtured.
Bai Lan had planned to find a place to hibernate in the narrow passage of the first-line sky canyon in the northwest corner, but there were too many unknown factors that could lead to the outside world.
It's safe, at least for now. After thinking about it a few times, Bai Lan planned to find a hole on the south side of the valley, that is, in the mountain behind Guliu, and drill into it.
This mountain is somewhat weathered, and there are many stone caves on it, among which there may be bats, but if Bai Lan encounters it, it will naturally taste the taste.
Just as Bai Lan was about to carry out his winter's big time, a wild deer suddenly rushed out of the northeast corner of the sky, and for a while he couldn't hold his feet, and fell into the waterhole with a "poof".
Immediately after him, it turned out to be a vicious yellow leopard with flower skin, which couldn't hold its feet and fell into the pool after it.
There is no way, the waterhole is almost less than a meter away from the exit of the first line of heavenly canyons, the north is a cliff, and the west is also a cliff, and there is only one waterway to run to this side.
The wild deer are fluttering in the lake water non-stop, this pool is not shallow, at least ten meters deep at the bottom, Bai Lan's deep-sea phobia is not good even if it becomes a snake, and only dares to swim under the visible light at a depth of two or three meters.
To the northwest is the deepest part of the pool, and the beasts that can't swim when they fall into the water will have to fend for themselves.
The wild leopard was very agile, and suddenly fell into the water, hulala, struggled to get up, and hurriedly swam to the entrance of the sky, shook the water in the fur on his body, and looked at the wild deer struggling to the middle of the water with an unkind face.
The wild deer swam to the other side in a panic, towards Bai Lan's side.
The leopard is not good at swimming, so he did not dare to enter this unknown deep pool rashly, so he could only roar unwillingly for a long time and leave angrily.
Bai Lan watched all this coldly under the boulder, and when he saw the wild deer swimming towards the shore, the idea of entering the water and biting the wild deer to death while it was unprepared rose in his mind.
But when it was discovered that the deer was a doe, he gave up.
This valley is so large that there are no large predators, so it is the most suitable for survival and breeding. And weeds are everywhere, even raising a dozen deer will not affect the ecology.
Bai Lan wanted to raise some rations for himself when he grew older in the future.
After all, if he keeps eating a pool of fish sooner or later, he will never use the body of a giant python to find snails in the mud to eat.
Except for some birds, insects, and rodents in the valley, there are no other big animals.
He can't swallow an adult wild deer for a long time even in the future, but a young deer can swallow it when it grows to a length of several meters.
Bai Lan is a meat eater, and if he doesn't eat meat, he will starve to death. There is no cruelty among animals, only the strong survive and the weak die.
The wild deer stumbled into the valley by chance, and wandered for a long time, and when there was no beast that could threaten him, he relaxed and wandered around to eat.
Bai Lan didn't think much about it anymore, he climbed to the south side of the mountain, searched for a long time, and finally found a stone cave more than ten meters deep and winding on a slope more than three meters high from the ground.
He opened his mouth, and two drops of venom dropped from his fangs and landed on the ground at the mouth of the cave. At the same time, it is also to dispel and warn some animals so that the cave will not be occupied.
The cave is a bit damp, there are no other creatures except for some bugs, the air is humid, the temperature is moderate, and this is a good place to hibernate.
By the time Bai Lan climbed out of the cave, it was already dusk.
The burning clouds on the horizon turned red, and the ink color of the mountains and distant mountains was also plated with a layer of gold by the setting sun, which looked majestic and beautiful.
Flocks of birds return to their nests, goshawks overlook.
No, why is that eagle getting closer and closer!
"Chirp~"
A high-pitched eagle chirped through the sky, and a goshawk soared through the sky with its wings two meters wide, its claws sharp enough to terrify all snakes.
When the piercing eagle chirp came, Bai Lan's whole body went limp, as if the suppression of his blood almost paralyzed him on the spot.
If it was an ordinary snake, it would have been frightened by the piercing eagle.
But Bai Lan has human intelligence.
He hurriedly wandered down the hillside, and at this moment there was only one way to climb the mountain rock into the cave, because he had not yet entered the cave on the cliff, and the goshawk had already fallen, which would catch him through the intestines.
The only way to survive is to enter the water! Sink into the pool of water, no matter how strong the eagle is, it will never sink to the bottom.
Other than that, there is no life!
Because the eagle's eyesight can cover prey within a radius of ten miles. No matter how good the camouflage is, once it is discovered by the eagle, it cannot disappear from its eyes again.
Bai Lan frantically fled to the waterhole, his abdomen was sharply exerted, his body was S-shaped, and he rushed towards the waterhole quickly.
The eagle in the sky saw this scene, suddenly retracted its wings, and the powerful wind blew through it like flowing water, and it was like a sharp arrow, swooping down from a height of hundreds of meters towards Bai Lan.
Bai Lan is also running quickly to the waterhole, one to save his life, the other to hunt, running in the same direction.
"Whoosh~"
The sound of the goshawk breaking through the sky sounded, and the eagle approached the land at a very fast speed, eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters, six hundred meters...
The camouflaged mud on Bai Lan's body had dried up and cracked, and it had already fallen due to the large range of movement, and his white jade-like body appeared, running towards the waterhole at great speed, fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters......
Seeing this scene, the goshawk suddenly exerted his strength, and the terrifying speed increased again, chasing Bai Lan's speed, and when he was still five meters away from the waterhole, he had already reached a height of dozens of meters in the sky.
Bai Lan only looked at this and his soul was overwhelmed, and he would definitely not be able to catch up with the waterhole at this speed.
At the critical moment, Bai Lan climbed onto the boulder and coiled up, raising the snake's head, as if he was about to fight with it.
When the goshawk saw it, he only thought that he could eat delicious snake meat again tonight!
"Whoosh~"
The goshawk fell from the sky with two claws like a thunderbolt, and when this claw fell, even the cowhide had to be scratched through.
But when this claw fell, Bai Lan's coiled body suddenly collapsed, and the snake's tail flicked with all its might, and the snake's head rushed forward, and it jumped forward when the eagle's claw fell.
"Bang~"
The talon misses, and the increase brought by falling from a high altitude can make the talon extremely profitable, but when the talon decides to land in a position, the goshawk cannot change the direction of the talon in time again due to the gravitational potential energy.
"Poof~"
The white snake has fallen into the water!
As if enraged, the goshawk spread its wings and pounced on Bai Lan in the water.
Bai Lan frantically swam deeper into the water, but the speed of this eagle was faster after all, it went three feet deep into the water and grabbed Bai Lan's tail, and in an instant the eagle's claws pierced Bai Lan's body.
The severe pain not only did not frighten Bai Lan, but under the great pain, he turned around and bit the goshawk's wings and injected all the venom into it.
The goshawk was in pain, and hurriedly raised its claws to fish Bai Lan out of the waterhole, and then stretched out an even sharper eagle's beak to peck at the head of this hateful white snake!
"Bang", a very small impact sound came, and the eagle's beak pecked at Bai Lan's seven inches of fatality, but who expected that this peck happened to peck at the red jade bead in his body, pecking through Bai Lan's upper skin and flesh, but he couldn't go further.
When the goshawk saw that the blow missed, it attacked again, but at this time, Bai Lan wrapped itself around the goshawk's wings, making its body tremble and almost sink into the water.
Half of the giant eagle's body was soaked in water, and its wings had been wet with a lot of feathers, and it only felt that its brain was sinking, and the secret path was not good, and its previous experience told it that it was a snake venom attack.
It's just that in the past, even the venom of the king cobra did not attack so quickly, and today, the venom of this little white snake has attacked so quickly.
The goshawk panicked in his heart, and he was about to quickly fly away from the water with Bai Lan. Bai Lan was ruthless in his heart, bent over and bit off his snake tail, and endured the severe pain and rushed deeper into the water.
The goshawk swung its wings five or six times with difficulty before slowly flying out of the water, only to realize that it had only caught a small piece of snake tail with its claws!
Enraged, it flew into the sky and hovered over the waterhole for a long time, until it was exhausted.
The frightened aquarium in the lake was agitated for a long time before it stopped.
At a depth of five or six meters under the water, a white snake with a broken tail coiled into a ball, and a faint blood-red color appeared in the surrounding water.
Bai Lan endured great pain, and under the extreme horror and pain, he still did not faint.
Because Bai Lan knew that he must not faint, and it would be over as soon as he fainted.
Bai Lan waited for half an hour before climbing to the shore and hiding in a mud hole under the boulder, his wound could not be soaked in water for a long time, otherwise he would definitely die if it became pus.
Bai Lan endured the severe pain, and his heart was cold and hateful, one day he will avenge today's broken tail, so that the goshawk will also suffer his pain today!
One in the sky, one on the ground, the snake eagle natural enemy has a grudge! Since then, there will be no death!
Bai Lan calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly found that this valley was no longer safe.
That giant tortoise hasn't been seen for a long time! Is it gone? Swimming down the mountain torrent may swim to the sea, or it may swim to other places.
Without the valley where beasts feel uneasy in the dark, it is a treasure of feng shui!
Bai Lan nested in a boulder mud cave, no longer hiding his skin color with silt, he feared that the parasites in the silt would burrow into his broken tail.
Fortunately, he now has three caves to hide, and there are no beasts in the valley for the time being.
After a day and a night, Bai Lan's wound finally scabbed over, and he went into the water again to fish to fill his stomach.
The wild deer came to the river every day to drink, and sometimes he didn't care much when he saw Bai Lan, after all, the size of the beasts determines the strength of the strength.
