The autumn breeze blows the leaves that are half yellow and not green, but it does not bring the slightest coolness.

After all, the wheel of the sun has reached its highest place, and even the wind has become hot.

At this time, in the middle of the feather continent, a vast forest that is not famous and inconspicuous, a snow-white and shining but no one can see the light quietly falls.

This light is pure white and incomparably pure, like the first snowflake in the unpolluted world.

And this pure snow brushes the autumn leaves dancing in the wind and brushes the still fragrant red flowers.

Drifting down a not-so-wide tunnel, it landed on an oval bluestone with black markings, submerged into it, and merged into it.

The dark cave was still cold and silent, and the insects and insects between the stones seemed to have not changed.

The wind outside was still hot but couldn't blow into the shady burrows, and the wriggling insects were still aimlessly foraging and exploring.

It's as if the pure white snow was just an illusion.

However, the rhythm of life is playing silently.

Just a moment later.

The egg-like stones, or the eggs that looked very much like stones, were piled up and down one after another.

The eggshell attached to the crimson markings rose and fell, and after a long time, with the unremitting efforts of the creatures in it, an irregular hole was finally opened.

A snake's head with a slippery slime poked out of it.

The newborn baby snake was still wet, and its small, slender body was red and shining like a jewel.

Even a pair of snake eyes are red, bright and shiny, which is very gratifying.

With the birth of the first red snake, the remaining snake eggs were also broken one after another.

One, two, three...... Eventually, more than a dozen slippery, tiny red snakes scrambled towards the entrance of the cave.

Only the last stone remained, blended with the snow-white light, and more unusual than the other snake eggs.

Quietly waiting for the vitality that I don't know if it can be rejuvenated.

Fortunately, although this long-dead egg has lost its soul, it has also ushered in a soul of vitality and revival.

……

'Dark ......'

'Where is the light, why can't I see...... Mine, my eyes, are they blind......'

'Yes, my body has reached this point......

The ability to perceive the world quietly disappeared at the end of the thought.

Even if the vision brought by those eyes has long been blurred, the wordless sorrow in Jiuyu's heart is still inevitably more profound.

But......

‘……’

'But ......'

'But why, why is it so comfortable, how long has it been since I felt this comfortable feeling......

But...... Why are you so hungry, this is the feeling of hunger, I haven't felt it for a long time, it's been a long time......

But hunger was unpleasant. ’

'I can't move, I can't feel my hands and feet'......'

'I'm so hungry......'

'No, I'm hungry......

From extreme comfort to unbearable hunger, Jiuyu twisted his body that couldn't feel his limbs, and strived, struggled, and tried his best......

However, his body seemed to be made of concrete, and it was always difficult to break free.

Like a worm living in amber, it longs for freedom but is powerless to find it.

But unlike the worm, it was an unspeakable hunger that gave him an indelible obsession.

After only the thought of hunger was left in his mind, soon a crisp sound sounded like a heavenly sound.

So immediately after, the sound of crumbling continued to sound one after another.

A pitch-black young snake actually cracked and shattered the "stones" that wrapped the snake's body, turning into large pieces of rubble and scattering in all directions.

The hungry snake writhed strangely in its strange body, its eyes fixed on the scattered rubble, and nothing else.

Hungry, he incredibly swept the heavy gravel into the snake's kiss with the bright red, slender snake letter, and swallowed it one by one.

And these small stones also give Jiuyu an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The physical and mental satisfaction makes the long-term uncontrollable exploration and ingestion.

For a long time, in the last inconspicuous narrow stone crevice, the snake letter rolled and swallowed the last piece of rubble, and then finally regained consciousness and came to his senses.

"Hiss~"

'Ye has come back to life, is this what it feels like to be healthy, it's really cool. ’

"Hiss~"

It's a pity that I can't speak. ’

"Hiss~"

'After all, he is no longer human in this life......

The pitch-black young snake, Jiuyu, sighed at this time that he was not very repulsed by his snake situation.

After all, the long torture on the hospital bed in his previous life really had nothing to remember him.

The only thing that made him sad and painful was that ...... Parents who may never see each other again.

With a deep sigh, his golden eyes looked aimlessly.

Hisago couldn't help but think back to his past life......

In Jiuyu Failure Syndrome, muscles begin to atrophy inexplicably from the limbs, and then the organs of the whole body fail one after another.

Even the senses of touch, taste, smell, and hearing cannot escape the poisonous hands of the disease.

And what is surprising and even more pitiful is that Jiuyu, who was already terminally ill, survived for half a year.

Of course, this is also thanks to the support of parents' money.

After all, if you are a poor person, even if the hospital is free of medical expenses in order to study rare cases.

It is impossible to ignore the loss of investment in those extremely precious medicines.

And Jiuyu, with the support of money and power, "enjoys" the world's top treatment.

It can be said that almost all famous doctors and miracle doctors from all over the world have tried to heal Jiuyu.

I don't know if this is the happiness of a rich country, or the pain of not being able to end suffering.

But alas......

Thinking of this, Jiuyu's golden snake eyes looked extremely dim.

At this moment, there is even a faint sense of accustomed pain.

In his previous life, the terminal illness named after him brought him more pain than just flesh and blood.

At that time, as his illness began to worsen, even the mere hearing of his name would make him feel uncontrollable pain.

After all, the disease is named after him.

If it weren't for the fact that he was already speechless at that time, his limbs were also weak, and he could not communicate with others at all.

He would have been adamant about naming the disease after him.

Even now, Jiuyu still feels unnatural when he thinks of his name, and his whole body seems to have a faint phantom pain.

But even so, Jiuyu, who lived for another life, still didn't want to forget and abandon these two characters, after all, this may be the only way he can remember his parents.

The mind was full of melancholy, Jiuyu curled up his body, the snake coiled in the cave, and his eyes were confused thinking about the sixteen years of life that had passed in a hurry.

At this moment, even the comfort brought by the healthy body of the newborn cannot resist the wave after wave of thoughts that keep coming.

As the flow of thoughts, the sun wheel also slowly descended from the sky, and the sky gradually darkened, gilding the sunset with a magnificent layer of gold.

Looking at the golden light falling from the entrance of the cave, Jiuyu sighed at his unreasonable keen vision.

After all, under normal circumstances, snakes have extremely poor eyesight.

I can't see everything like he does.

But then, he also had to let go of these inseparable nostalgia......

Because the hunger in his belly had made him feel very unbearable.

'It's time to go find something to eat, or it's funny to starve to death for another life!' ’

Thinking so, Jiu Yu propped up his raised head with his slender snake body.

Looking at the hole with a dim light in front of him, he didn't dare to continue to hesitate and think.

I had to mobilize the combined efforts of bones, muscles, and scales very skillfully, and stumbled towards the hole that was pierced by the light.

However, it wasn't until he crawled out of the hole that he really made a mistake.

'Miserable...... What should I eat? ’

Of course, in fact, it's not that Jiuyu doesn't know his recipes, but it's because he knows that he resists even more.

With his current young, slender physique, it is estimated that he can only swallow tadpoles, earthworms, larvae and other foods.

But the crux of the matter is that even at this time he has become an "ordinary" young snake.

But that doesn't mean he can swallow the disgusting stuff without any guilt.

When I think of the shape of tadpoles, the smoothness of earthworms, and the strangeness of insects, Jiuyu can't help but feel disgusted and resistant.

But at the same time, the young body and the "roaring" stomach are constantly urging Jiuyu to hunt for food.

The hunger that grew more and more unbearable haunted him like a talisman.

If it doesn't work, let's try eating grass, I seem to remember that there are herbivorous snakes. ’

Jiuyu's mouth hissed, and he said with a self-deceptive "mutter".

There is no way, he really can't accept the idea of swallowing these "delicious" things in his previous life.

With luck in his heart, Jiuyu opened his mouth to swallow the blue grass blades around him, and then quickly cut with his sharp front teeth, barely swallowing most of the grass.

Only a small uncut blade of grass remained, and the surviving blade was torn out of the snake's mouth.

'Sure enough, it doesn't smell. A little sap seeped out of the section of the grass.

Of course, as a snake, Kuyu didn't get the slightest taste.

'It's a pity. ’

After some cranky thoughts, Jiuyu looked around, and sighed weakly in his heart.

Overhead, the canopy of trees is so leafy that it blocks almost all the sunlight, and the place where you are located is the only "paradise" in the area where you can enjoy the sun.

Obviously, the scope of this lawn is not very large.

Not far away, under the tall trees were layers of dead branches and leaves.

But fortunately, after Jiuyu poked out the snake letter and collected the smell and sent it into the vomeronal organ in his mouth, he was able to distinguish the smell of grass and berries from a distance.

Of course, it is inevitable to "smell" a lot of sweet smells from things such as insects and larvae.
