Chapter 002: The Transformation of Beasts and Beasts
The giant salamander cried.
I watched as the turtle calf swallowed his red carp one by one. That's it, hit him after eating the fish!
Turtle son, why is it also in this pond? Isn't it good to beat you to the Great Lake of the Gobi like this? It's so big over there that you can't even swim your head.
The giant salamander was pitiful, and while Su He was not paying attention, he stole a crucian carp and swallowed it quietly.
Su He didn't bother to pay attention to him, and shrank under the water motionless.
It's a bit of a stretch.
The doubled red carp is very strong and a little indigestible, and he needs a warm place to sleep in the sun.
If there are no wolves on the shore, find a hole in the shallows, bury yourself in it, and leave only your nostrils to breathe. Reincarnated as a turtle for two years, every time it hibernates, it comes over like this.
Of course, you can also sleep under the water like other turtles.
On the first day of the shell, Su He discovered that he could not only breathe through his nose and mouth now, but he could actually breathe underwater, but the place where he used it was difficult to say.
Buttocks!
Or is it called cloaca? It should be this word, Su He's biology is general, not very clear.
The cloaca not only allows it to pee, but it also sucks in the water and absorbs the oxygen from the water. But such breathing is very weak, and it is better than nothing.
I don't know if all turtles can do it, or if it's his breed, or because he's a traverser, it's something special?
If he chooses to sleep deeply, absorb enough air, minimize his activities, and breathe through his buttocks, he can sleep quietly underwater for six or seven days.
Su He rarely breathes in this way, at first he couldn't pass the psychological level, and then he was simply unaccustomed to it.
But not being used to it is not impossible.
Su He held his breath and dug a cave at the bottom of the pool, swam to the surface of the water to toss the wolves for ventilation, and after inhaling enough air, he sank to the bottom of the water and burrowed into the cave, slowly closing his eyes.
After a while, he fell silent and fell into a deep sleep.
This pond is not big, only about two acres, there are no natural enemies in the water, there are wolves standing guard outside and not afraid of other predators coming, Su He can sleep peacefully.
But this sleep is not steady, the whole body is itchy and unbearable, Su He always dreamed of being caught and put in a casserole to stew, boiling water and splashing licking the hot pain of the turtle shell.
After the scalding, there is a burst of itching, and I can't wait to peel off the turtle shell and scratch it.
In the alternating torture of Su He's pain and itching, time passed day by day, and the wolves on the shore became more and more impatient.
The patience of the wolves is not so bad, but the smell of demon fruit that permeates the pond fades as Su He sleeps!
The sleeping turtle's breathing became extremely weak.
The wolf king began to become irritable, and even beat other wolves three or four times, and even forced the wolves to go into the water a dozen times a day, searching back and forth.
The wolves were angry, but they did not dare to speak.
To make matters worse, there have been no more fish carcasses floating on the surface of the water in the past few days, and the wolves have no leaks to pick up, so they need to be hunted, but the wolf king has not been able to organize an effective hunt.
It did not dare to stay away from the pool, and only commanded remotely on the hill next to it, and the effect of wolf hunting was greatly reduced.
The wolves are hungry.
There are deer running, glancing at the wolves from time to time, and the places where the water and grass that once dared not set foot are already free to enter and exit, and the wolves are suppressed by the wolf king and are not allowed to leave the pond.
These grassy areas have become a haven for deer.
Not far away, a swimming snake had just swallowed a frog, and was caught by a goshawk falling from the sky and flew into the sky.
A faint smell of blood pervaded.
Hunters are also prey, and no one can guarantee that they will live to the next moment.
The days of calm and peace passed day by day.
At the bottom of the pond, Su He felt that he was really dead this time, only to feel that there was boiling water all around, and the turtle shell was peeled off layer by layer, about cooked, and the whole turtle sank to the bottom of the pot.
Whereabouts...
Whereabouts......
Su He woke up suddenly, looked around, and was still in the pond. But the cave where he was hiding had collapsed, and it was crushed by him!
Judging by the remaining air in the lungs, this sleep lasted only five or six days.
But Su He had grown from a plate to a basin, and the cave he dug earlier couldn't hold him and was cracked. The body became heavy and sank into the mud, no wonder the dream kept sinking to the bottom of the pot.
Surrounded by peeling turtle shell flakes.
The turtle also sheds its shell, but not like a crab, swishing out and regrowing its shell. Rather, it is retreating one by one, layer by layer.
It can molt about twice a year.
It is a gradual process of growing up while molting.
But this time I slept for five or six days, shedding more than one shell. And the color of the receded shell has changed, from the gray ordinary turtle shell to the color has begun to deepen.
There is a tendency to darken.
This is a good thing, burying it in the mud can be more hidden.
Su He's turtle/head quietly poked out, confirmed that there was no danger, and gently swam towards the surface of the water with a gentle dip of water.
After a few days, the water surface of the pond has been covered by most of the lotus leaves, and the lotus leaves have not yet grown to the maximum, and in five or six days these green leaves can cover the entire pond.
Then it was ready to bloom, Su He was waiting for the lotus flower to bloom, and it had an appointment with people.
With his forelimbs flicked lightly and his hind feet treading water, Su He's head poked out of the water to look around.
The wolf king was beating two wolves, only three of them were still patrolling the pond, and the rest were around the wolf king baring their teeth and making threatening sounds.
I don't know if it's a threat to the wolf king, or a cheering threat to the beaten wolf.
But Su He faintly felt that this wolf pack no longer respected the wolf king so much! I haven't seen the wolf king for five or six days, and the prestige is gone!
Hello Wolf King!
Goodbye Wolf King!
The wolf king was attracted by other things, and Su He had already sunk to the bottom of the water after the end of his ventilation, so he reflected and hurriedly dropped the two beaten wolves, and one of them jumped into the pond.
The water in the center of the pond is about two feet deep, and there are lotus leaves to cover it, so Su He is absolutely safe to dive into the water.
The underwater giant salamander is wandering happily, and it is much more lively after a few days.
Su He decided to help it consolidate its memory. So he beat it up and snatched two prawns from it.
The dice fall, three o'clock.
Shrimp ×8.
Two became eight, this time not three times but three times.
But still non-chieftains! Su He wants to improve the quality of the prawns.
Casually flicked the prawns to the giant salamander, and watched the giant salamander gobble up after being stunned.
It's a pity that the dice have a virgin/female complex, and the things that have been rolled by it will not roll the points again if they are snatched back, otherwise they can loop indefinitely.
On the water, the wolf king returned to the shore hatefully, looked at the calm pool and his eyes became humanized and deep, looked at it a few times, turned around and ran to the depths of the woods, and turned a deaf ear to the barking of the wild wolf behind him.
After about two or three hours, the wolf king came back with a small beast the size of a cat and a mouse, shook his head and threw it into the pond.
Otter?
Su He was startled, and then furious.
Your uncle, otter!!
When did you learn to use tools?!
Otters are definitely the natural enemies of turtles! Extremely fast, it is not difficult to hunt a turtle that is larger than itself.
The small turtle smashes the shell, and the big turtle pulls the meat directly from the limbs.
It's useless to shrink into a shell!
Son of a bitch! The third master of your second uncle! You're playing yin!
This otter is about the same size as Su He.
Dangerous!
Su He slashed his limbs, rushed to the surface of the water, and when the otter had just escaped from the wolf's mouth and was still panicked, he bit it on the back of its neck, slammed it down the water, and dragged it to the bottom of the water.
The otter only holds its breath for five or six minutes, while Su He can hold it for seven days, which is its only advantage.
As soon as he escaped from the wolf's mouth and was suddenly attacked, the otter's soul was suddenly bluffed, and his body twisted into a twist, pulling the skin and looking back, struggling and slashing.
It didn't relax a little because it was a turtle that bit it, and the back of the neck was bitten to death, and it couldn't be used at all!
The otter dragged the fur hard, scratched Su He's head with its front paws, and kicked Su He's turtle shell like a cat with its hind paws, trying to kick him away, or tear the turtle shell directly.
Su He let it struggle, and his right hind leg was torn open by the otter's claws, and he bit his neck and pressed it to the bottom. Immediately turned over and rode up and pressed it tightly, hooking the water grass at the bottom of the pond with his paws, and did not let go for a moment.
