Chapter 57: The Little Green Snake
"Snake!"
Ji Xinghuo's first reaction when he saw the green shadow was, it turned out to be a snake?
The second reaction was, this is too small!
The snake was about the same length as a finger, it should be less than ten centimeters, thinner than chopsticks, the whole body was green and verdant, the fine and smooth scales were almost invisible to the gaps, and it was falling down rapidly, and when it turned over, it exposed its abdomen, with golden lines, and it didn't look threatening.
The little green snake's magnetic field is rather weak, which is in line with its size.
There are countless creatures of this size in the Peak Valley, and they are usually not dangerous, so Ji Xinghuo will ignore this small and weak magnetic field in the magnetic field sensing to reduce the interference of monster tracking.
Here again, it is on top of a very high stone pillar, which is less dangerous.
Therefore, he was negligent just now, and did not notice the approaching of the little snake in advance.
Ji Xinghuo's eyes were focused, in addition to magnetic field sensing, he could also judge the strength of the target through ether sensitivity.
However, the little green snake's aetheric reaction is also very low, similar to that of a bug.
"That's not right!"
Ji Xinghuo realized the abnormality, how could such a small snake eat such a big bird?
"Where's my bird?"
He quickly glanced around, but didn't find the roast bird.
By this time the little green snake had fallen under the stone pillar, and further down was the edge of the cliff, covered with dense grass and stone crevices, and if it was allowed to get in, it would be difficult to find it again.
Ji Xinghuo didn't think much about it anymore, picked up the eagle bow and shot it.
Syllable!
The arrow shot down vertically, and in an instant it caught up with the little green snake. It seemed to sense the danger and reacted very quickly, curling up in mid-air in advance, the head of the snake rising upwards and opening its mouth.
The arrow went right into its mouth.
And then it was gone.
"Uh......"
Ji Xinghuo finally saw what was going on this time, and his eyes widened suddenly.
"How is this done?"
"Where are my arrows?"
The titanium aluminum alloy arrow is more than 70 centimeters long, which is many times longer than the body of the little green snake, but it was swallowed into its stomach and disappeared without a trace.
After swallowing the arrow, the little green snake fell into the grass and disappeared from view in a blink of an eye.
Ji Xinghuo realized its magic, how could it be possible to let it run away, the magnetic field induction had already locked it, and there was nothing to hide.
"Look where you're going!"
He hung the eagle bow on his back, drew his thunderous sword, grabbed the nanorope fixed to the top and leaped forward, as if he were running on the ground, stepping on the side of the stone pillar and falling rapidly.
As soon as he was halfway down, Ji Xinghuo suddenly became alert.
Roll over and dodge to the side.
An arrow flew out of the grass below, as fast as lightning, and flew into the sky grazing Ji Xinghuo's body.
"it!"
Ji Xinghuo broke out in a cold sweat.
It's a fucking arrow that I shot myself, and it came back. And the power and speed are not reduced in the slightest, and if you get shot, it will be hilarious.
"I almost shot myself......"
Ji Xinghuo descended to the cliff with palpitations, and in the magnetic field induction, the little green snake was swimming quickly in the grass, and the speed was very fast, escaping towards the deeper bottom of the cliff.
With its so small size, it is simply invisible.
As long as you lie down in the grass, there is no sound, no breath, no smell, no one can find it.
But Ji Xinghuo can.
The magnetic field sensing firmly locked on the little green snake, and he subconsciously picked up the eagle bow and prepared to shoot another arrow, at least forcing it out of the grass, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind.
After a few seconds of hesitation, the little green snake had already swam seven or eight meters away, and its goal was a stone crevice in the cliff below, deep into the interior of the rock peak.
If you let it climb in, you won't be able to do anything.
Ji Xinghuo didn't care about anything else, grabbed the nanorope, and pounced down like a wild goose.
Boom!
Gravel splashes.
Lei Chi slashed at the stone wall, calculating the amount in advance, it was the only way for the little green snake to get into the stone crevice, cutting off a large area of rock.
The little green snake had just come out of the grass, and the road ahead was cut off, and it suddenly fell into the air.
At this time, Ji Xinghuo was only one step away from it.
At such a close distance, he could see the appearance of the little green snake clearly.
"Iron Arrow?"
Ji Xinghuo was very surprised in his heart, this little green snake was like an iron arrow that had shrunk hundreds of times, and it was a very common snake in the Peak Valley.
There are also snakes on earth that look similar, called the emerald snake.
But Iron Arrow Green is much more powerful than the Emerald Green Snake.
They like to hide in trees and wait for their prey to pass by, and suddenly swoop over with great speed, like an arrow shooting at the target.
Iron arrow green is non-toxic, evolving into a monster will awaken the "iron scale", the scales are as hard as iron, covering the whole body, the arrow-like head is directly pierced on the prey, can penetrate the flesh and blood, the power is similar to the real arrow, or even stronger.
These days, Ji Xinghuo has killed more than a dozen Iron Arrows.
This iron arrow is obviously different.
Ji Xinghuo looked at its golden eyes like amber gems, and looked at each other, and at this moment he noticed the fear and nervousness in its eyes, which was quite spiritual.
"Spirits!"
It turned out to be a spiritual snake!
Ji Xinghuo was overjoyed, spiritual objects also evolved from ordinary astral creatures, but they possessed wisdom and were extremely rare.
The probability of astral creatures evolving into spiritual creatures is very low, so low that it is impossible to count at all.
It's like a genetic mutation.
Generally speaking, spirits are much more powerful than monsters, have a higher level of awakened abilities, are more powerful, and grow faster!
Most importantly, spiritual beings have a high level of intelligence and can communicate.
If it can be subdued, the spirit creature is the best companion of the war pet, much better than the average monster, and can evolve with the owner.
Luo Yimeng, one of the thirteen heavenly kings of the Asia-Pacific Community and the tenth "Chaofeng Master" on the global heavenly king list, had the spirit war pet "Phoenix Crown Caique" shortly after becoming an alien, and since then he has soared into the sky and has grown step by step into the world's first imperial master.
Ji Xinghuo wanted to make another slash, and directly slashed the little green snake and seized its xenomorph. Now that I know that it is a spiritual creature, I naturally can't do it.
A living war pet is by no means comparable to another species, and this behavior is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.
Ji Xinghuo let the little green snake fall off the cliff.
Its body was too small and too light, and it was blown around in mid-air by the wind before it could reach the bottom of the cliff.
"How do I catch it?"
It's not okay to just reach out and grab it.
The little green snake is suspected to have the ability to swallow the transferred matter, and this kind of spatial ability is extremely terrifying, if it bites it, it is likely that the whole hand will be gone.
It's also hard to trap, and it can bite through the substance and escape.
If it blindly attacks, blocks, and traps, it will make it have hateful thoughts, and don't forget that it has a lot of wisdom.
You can only observe carefully and find out its weaknesses.
Ji Xinghuo dragged the nanorope back to the stone pillar, but in his mind, he always paid attention to the movements of the little green snake.
It had fallen into the valley below the cliff and swam dozens of meters at a rapid pace, burrowing into a stone crevice.
The little green snake didn't move for half an hour, spitting out its tongue every few seconds.
It is waiting for the enemy to leave, and it is extremely patient.
However, Ji Xinghuo was more patient than him, and he ate some dry food to fill his stomach and packed his tent and bags. He had changed his plans, and the next most important thing was not to hunt the stone sickle, but how to subdue the little green snake.
I can't think of a way to subdue it for the time being, but there's no problem tracking it.
It is impossible for the little green snake to escape the magnetic field induction.
Ji Xinghuo climbed down the stone pillar, climbed down the rock peak from another road, and pretended to leave.
When he left the cliff more than 300 meters, the little green snake immediately moved.
"Sure enough......"
"It has a very powerful sense of perception, it should be a sense of smell." Ji Xinghuo guessed.
Snakes do not have excellent hearing and vision, but their sense of smell is very sensitive, and the bifurcated hyacinth collects odor particles from the air and feeds them into the pear nose organ, which is located above the mouth, to distinguish small deviations in odor, so as to determine the precise location of the target object.
Some powerful snake monsters can even smell prey from several kilometers away.
Ji Xinghuo walked more than a hundred meters away, which should be beyond the range of the little green snake's sense of smell, and it slowly crawled out of the stone crevice where it was hiding.
In the magnetic field induction, the little green snake swam quickly in the valley.
Ji Xinghuo is far away.
A moment later.
The little green snake crawled into the depths of the valley and swam into a narrow cave hidden behind the bushes, the inner space was like a labyrinth, nine turns and eighteen turns, and there was water in some places, and it had to swim through the water to continue crawling, and at the end was a warm cave.
The space in the cave is not large, and if a person gets into it, he can only lie down and cannot stand up.
But it's spacious enough for the little green snake.
"It's too hidden......"
Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but shake his head, if there was no magnetic field induction, it would be almost impossible for other means of perception to find the little green snake's lair.
He was still sighing, when he saw the little green snake open its mouth.
An object is spit out by it and falls in the burrow, in the shape of a magnetic field that is a bird.
"My roast bird!"
Ji Xinghuo gritted his teeth, whoever got the food in his mouth flew, even if the value was not great, he couldn't be happy.
The next second.
The little green snake's magnetic field suddenly became larger.
"Huh?"
Ji Xinghuo was taken aback, it was still a snake, but the strength and range of the magnetic field had expanded dozens of times, as if it appeared in the sky.
At this time, it is no longer a little green snake, but a two-and-a-half-meter-long iron arrow green!
Now as thick as a human arm, the loose burrow had become a little crowded, and it wrapped the large roasted bird in the middle, opened its beak, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The roast bird slid in the belly of the snake and soon reached the stomach.
In less than five minutes, the snake's abdomen returned to its normal shape, and the roast bird was digested by it.
After eating, the serpent stopped moving, coiled up in a ball, and lay quietly in the cave, as if asleep.
Ji Xinghuo thought about it while observing it.
"This snake has at least two abilities."
"The first one I haven't heard of, you can swallow what you have in your mouth, it seems to enter another dimension, and then release it."
"The second ability, most likely miniature!"
Ji Xinghuo remembers watching a video before that was dedicated to abilities such as body shape change, such as giant and shrinking, which can make the body bigger or smaller. There are also transformational abilities that change body size by transforming into other species.
Among them, Juhua is also the core ability of "Giant General".
Jugganization and shrinking are both remarkable abilities, and the degree of change in size is generally not more than 50% of the original, which is half of the original.
To become bigger or smaller is not a physical change in the ordinary sense.
It's about space and dimension!
Miniature is one of them, which can make the body dozens or even hundreds of times smaller.
There is a Celestial King Inhuman in the Federation of the Americas who is the only known human on Earth who has mastered Miniature, and although Miniature is only an overlimit ability, it gives him an advantage in battles against opponents of the same level, and it can also be applied in many scenarios, with unexpected effects.
As for the little green snake's ability to devour the transfer matter, Ji Xinghuo guessed that it was likely to be a starfall ability!
