The alluring scent was hard for Hisato to accept, and if it weren't for his excellent vision to determine the direction of the scent, he would not have believed that the smell of insects would give him such a sweet feeling.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, he swallowed more than a dozen mouthfuls of grass blades, and then endured a deeper hunger than alleviated, and crawled towards the source of the berry smell.

I hope I can fill my stomach, or I'll have to eat bugs! ’

Fragmentary sounds came from among the dead branches and leaves, and Kugo's figure was obscured by the dead leaves.

As he went, the golden pupils that were obscured by the shadows gradually attached to them, and the extremely unbearable hunger made Jiuyu almost crazy.

And the sweet smell not far away has been tempting and seducing him.

Appetite was at war with his reason, which had been built for sixteen years.

……

A few minutes later, when Kumi came to the bushes with purple-black berries.

More than a dozen unknown insects and larvae had already crossed his throat and turned into another form, quietly staying in his body.

'Not enough, I'm still hungry. ’

But the strange thing is that the body is only the thickness of an adult's little thumb.

After swallowing more than a dozen prey that were not small for him, he was still small and hungry.

The indescribable hunger pang made Jiuyu dare not think about it anymore, and skimmed away the disgusting and retching thoughts that still did not fade.

Climb along the branches of the bush and swallow the plump berries one by one.

After a long time, this small bush was swallowed up by Jiuyu, and at this time, except for the branches and leaves, Jiuyu could no longer see any trace of berries.

After some frantic eating, Jiuyu regained his consciousness again, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

'It's going to be hungry like this, it seems that there is something wrong with this body......

But at least, it's better than that tattered body. ’

In emotion, Jiuyu silently twisted his body and crawled to the ground along the branches of the bushes.

But before he could climb to the ground covered with dead branches and leaves.

An indescribable sense of strangeness suddenly appeared, and the feeling of his own body surprised him.

'Maybe it's not a problem of being sick, this body should be free of disease......

The body should be thicker and longer than before, and it feels a bit like the whole body is encircled, and the vision is a little blurred. ’

Is it going to molt?' ’

"No, I've never heard of any kind of snake growing so fast!" ’

'Did you eat too much?' ’

Jiuyu felt the tightness and itching sensation coming from the surface of his body, and instead of the surprise of growth, his heart became a little flustered.

I remember that snakes did not eat until they molted their skin, so as not to make their bellies stretch and it would be difficult for them to molt. ’

"Hiss~"

"Don't, this is the first molt in my life, is it possible that I will fail like this!" ’

In his thoughts, Jiuyu accidentally fell off a branch of a bush and landed on a hard bluestone, but it didn't cause him any pain.

Jiuyu actually had no time to think, and at this time, under the "urging" of various senses in his body, he subconsciously rubbed his upper jaw on the edges and corners of the stone.

Soon, a translucent, thin gray-black snake moult set off a small patch at the snake's kiss.

The subtle tearing and pulling feeling of the old skin being peeled off the body and the small sense of relief made Jiuyu enjoy it very much.

This made him rub against the rocks faster.

Soon, with his unremitting efforts, the snake molted to the neck.

"Hiss!"

The feeling of liberation made Jiuyu sigh comfortably, and he didn't want to delay.

With the support of abundant physical strength, the body without any sense of fatigue began to squirm.

The muscles stretched and contracted, and the muscles stretched and contracted, like worms moving little by little, crawling out of the whole body and the snakeskin separated from the shell.

'Cool...... It's just a freshman, I'm very happy! ’

In this short period of only five or six minutes, Jiuyu seemed to experience the feeling of resurrection and recreation.

And unlike other normal snakes, the hardships of molting, the weakness after molting.

At this moment, Jiuyu only felt the comfort of his body and the satisfaction and desire in his heart.

This experience was extremely enjoyable for Kugo, just like the feeling when his consciousness had just awakened after being reborn.

At this time, Jiuyu's grown body is one and a half times thicker than when he was born, and his body is more slender, but his body is still petite, and he is an inconspicuous little one.

Coming back from the fading sense of enjoyment, the little hunter who finally accepted the knowledge of the snake began his hunting journey.

The snake letter swayed rapidly outside the lips, and a large number of odor particles were quickly captured, and then pressed into the vomeronasal apparatus in the mouth.

An olfactory image that is completely different from the visual picture and collects a lot of information appears in Jiuyu's mind.

As before, Jiu Yu relied on this strange and clear image to begin to search for prey among the cascading dead branches and leaves.

It's just that in an instant, relying on his sense of smell, Jiuyu locked on to a sweet scent, and according to the experience just now, this should be a fat larva.

And to the pity of Jiuyu's birth for a moment, he has no sense of taste, which makes him unable to taste it.

But it was only for a moment, and even after a moment of emotion, he was terrified.

'When did I start thinking bugs were delicious?' ’

'Before...... Alas, forget it, it's better to fill your stomach. ’

Although it was a little hard to accept, the satisfaction of eating was enough for Kugo to let go of those senseless disgusts.

The feeling of satiety from those cyan larvae was enough for him to flock to.

Without thinking about it anymore, after following his breath for only half a minute, Jiuyu found the one that looked familiar to him under a fallen leaf.

It has a verdant appearance and is a fat larvae.

In the face of this prey with a strange beauty, the anticipation of eating and molting easily suppressed and violently shattered the faint discomfort.

Opening the snake's kiss, Jiu Yusheng slowly swallowed the larva, which was much thicker than him, into his abdomen.

As for resistance, it is not impossible, as evidenced by the cyan juice that has slipped off Jiuyu's body and the few dead leaves around him that are rapidly corroding.

The liquid that the larvae spew out of its mouth is obviously an extremely corrosive venom, but unfortunately, Kuyu is obviously not an ordinary black snake at the bottom of the food chain.

Although he didn't know that he belonged to the snake species, at least he was not afraid of the venom of the green worm, which was enough for him to easily survive his childhood.

After all, like the smell of this green worm, Jiuyu smelled a lot of it.

So in a sneer, Jiuyu walked through the fallen leaves, wiped off all the juice sprayed on his body by the green worm, and walked towards the direction of the next prey.

"I don't know what this insect looks like after breaking out of its cocoon?"

As he went, Jiuyu couldn't help but think about it in his mind, but this matter had little to do with him after all.

After only thinking about it for a moment, I no longer have the slightest curiosity about it.

So, in less than an hour, dozens of eyeless insects and silly larvae fused with him in another way in his belly.

This is also thanks to the special olfactory organ of snakes, otherwise even Jiuyu's unreasonable excellent vision would not have been able to find his prey so accurately and quickly.

It's a pity that the stomach that seems to be never satisfied is still releasing hunger endlessly.

Because of this, Jiuyu had to keep foraging for food.

In this way, with the greedy predation of the black snake, the sun wheel also floated in the long river of time, slowly sliding down the sky......

In the middle of the night, the moon disk hangs high above the sky, and countless bright stars adorn it with dark night paintings.

And Jiuyu, who has undergone two molts again, happened to return to the vicinity of his birthplace.

After swallowing a poisonous frog with a bright complexion into his belly, he felt the slight warmth in his belly and lay down on the grass with satisfaction.

His eyes couldn't close his eyes to look at the magnificent starry sky, and on the night sky, meteors slowly crossed by, and he was thinking about his future in a rare rest.

"Hiss~"

Although I am very fortunate to be reborn in one life, even if I am not reborn, it is a great gift. ’

"Hiss~"

'Yes...... In my life, can I live like this, the life span of the snake is not high, I don't know how many more years I can live, so I can only wait quietly to die......

"Hiss~"

'Alas, boring...... Make a wish......'

The melancholy Jiuyu looked at the meteor, and his eyes showed dazedness.

But at this moment......

"Hiss~hiss!"

'No, that's not a shooting star!' ’

"Hiss!"

It's not a shooting star! ’

'Yes, it's definitely the Immortal's Edgeworth! ’

All kinds of lights and shadows swept by in disorder, and one after another remnant rainbows pierced the sky.

Looking at the rainbow light that swept over the top of the canopy of ancient trees in the sky, and the vague figures in the rainbow light.

A cry of surprise erupted in Jiuyu's heart, and a continuous hissing sound came out of his mouth.

At this moment, his heart was unusually restless, and even the snake body was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and he was stiff and couldn't move.

It wasn't until the many figures of Edgeworth flew away like meteors for a long time that Jiu Yu came back to his senses in a daze.

However......

'Is this really Earth......

'Is it ...... Farther from home? ’

However, Jiuyu did not feel the regret of "missing" the fairy fate at this time.

From the beginning, he didn't think of immortal immortals, but the delusion that was impossible to achieve.

After all, he has longed for it more than once since he was born in the first half of the day.

He longed to find his parents, even if it was just a few glances from afar.

Even if a miracle happens, it is not impossible for parents and children to recognize each other, after all, although he can't speak, writing on the ground with a snake's tail is something he has experimented with and confirmed to be feasible.

But the appearance of these flying rainbows completely cut off his delusions.
