The sky was very hot, like a big steamer, and many ants crawled out, as well as those little sparrows, all of which flew very low.

Ants move, birds fly low.

Looking at the sky above his head, a few dark clouds floating from nowhere, Ye Qin thought thoughtfully, "It looks like it's going to rain." ”

He ate a few wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and did not leave, but lay in wait behind a rock.

The stone was about the same color as him, and it was also a deep black, and the two were almost fused together, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't have noticed a small black snake here.

The wild fruits on the ground are his best bait, and there are always some small herbivores coming by.

Ye Qin is extremely patient, like a qualified hunter, maybe the instinct of a creature, he doesn't move, like a fossil.

Even the bright red snake letter only occasionally shakes to tell if there is a sign of prey.

As the sun sets, the entire sky is dyed with orange light, and the clouds are enveloped in this verdant mountain, adding a special flavor.

This was for most of the day, during which Ye Qin did not see any trace of other small animals.

He is not discouraged, even if he returns without success today, there is still tomorrow, if there is no tomorrow, there is the day after tomorrow.

It's a big deal to try his luck further afield, although it is a little dangerous, but he will always find food.

Just when Ye Qin was about to return.

The pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a thin movement in the grass not far away, and the gray fur could be faintly seen, which was very obvious under the turquoise grass.

It was a gray vole, with a few whiskers poking through the air, as if to check for danger around it, and then most of its body poked out.

The vole stood upright, twitched its little nose, and then looked at the wild fruit not far away.

Although its limbs were short, it was fast, and it was relieved to see that there was no danger around it.

The forelimbs stuffed the wild fruit directly into the mouth, and the two front teeth soaked in the juice of the wild fruit, and then swallowed it whole. Cheeks bulged in an instant.

Tasting the delicious vole, he didn't notice that in the dark, a pair of faint beast eyes were staring at his every move.

Ye Qin approached cautiously, without making any sound, as if he was integrated with the surrounding environment, his pupils were the size of a needle, firmly locked in the position of the vole.

His body was tense and straight, ready to go.

The vole seemed to sense something, and the mustache shook and stopped eating, but it was too late.

said that it was too late, and Ye Qin was like an arrow off the string, and suddenly rushed out, leaving only an afterimage in the air.

His body quickly wrapped around the vole's body.

"Squeak!"

The vole desperately tried to break free, but the snake's body was wrapped tighter and tighter, and soon its range of movement gradually became smaller, and there was no sound.

Only then did Ye Qin loosen his shackles, looked at the corpse of the vole, and showed a satisfied look, the first hunt was still very successful.

This vole is relatively small, and its claws and teeth are not dangerous, otherwise, Ye Qin would not have succeeded so quickly.

Then it's time to enjoy the results.

Ye Qin was mentally prepared, even so, it was not easy to cross that hurdle all at once.

Although he is a snake now, he has been a man for decades in his previous life, and he rarely eats sashimi, let alone voles.

He took a deep breath, endured his nausea, and slowly swallowed the vole.

I don't know if it's because the physiological structure has changed, or because of the nature of snakes, voles are not as unpalatable as they imagined, and even the meat is quite tender.

Lingnan folk also spread the saying "eat one mouse, become three chickens", describing the nutritional value of voles is higher than that of chicken, and dried voles are not only delicious and delicious, but also high in protein.

After eating this vole, Ye Qin finally felt full, and rested on the grass for a while, taking advantage of the last ray of daylight, before the sun completely set, returned to the cave.

Probably because of the replenishment of energy, the speed of digging the pit today was faster than usual, and the time was longer, the small hole that was only the width of a thumb before, under Ye Qin's development, was already the size of two fists.

At the same time, the blackened scales on Ye Qin's tail had completely fallen off, and new green snake scales had grown, I don't know if it was Ye Qin's illusion, I always felt that my body seemed to have grown a lot.

When he was hunting today, Ye Qin found out, and only half of it was entangled, and the vole was entangled by him.

After a full meal, Ye Qin returned home and continued to return to the cave, except for the time when he went out hunting, most of the time he spent contemplating.

Except for hibernation, snakes usually sleep very little, so it didn't matter if Ye Qin spent a day contemplating and cultivating.

Not only is he not tired, but he is refreshed, and most importantly, he can feel that his strength is growing.

Now those hideous and terrifying wounds, now only scars remain, and all these changes are brought about through cultivation.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound outside the cave, pulling Ye Qin's thoughts back to reality.

A thunderclap fell from mid-air, and the originally dim cavern was illuminated by purple light.

"Thunder ....."

Ye Qin couldn't help but mutter,

Hearing the rumbling thunder outside, I felt a little uncomfortable, probably because I was affected by this snake body, and I didn't like this kind of thunder and lightning weather, and I could even say that I was disgusted.

After all, when he crossed over, he was almost killed by thunder, and his scars have not healed yet, if it weren't for his cultivation, I'm afraid he would have become a revenant soul long ago, no wonder he had such a reaction.

Hearing the continuous thunder, Ye Qin was a little irritable, and the tip of his tail kept poking at the ground, but he never wanted to hit the half of the dead branch next to him.

The dead branches were several times thicker than his, and only a "crackling" sound was heard, and they broke into two.

Ye Qin looked at his tail in disbelief, it seemed that he didn't use much strength just now, but when the inside of this withered branch was rotten and brittle like paper, he didn't pay attention to it.

In addition to the thunder, there was also the sound of whimpering wind, which came through the cave.

Although Ye Qin didn't go out to see what kind of scene it was outside, it was conceivable that there must be a strong wind.

With such a huge momentum, there must be a torrential rain.

Ye Qin couldn't help but rejoice again, he found a good place to shelter from the wind and rain, if he was in the wild now, with his small body, I am afraid he would be blown into the sky.

In addition to natural predators, animals also have to guard against harsh weather and the environment, which is the cruelty of nature, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it.

There is such an existence as a cave, at least there is a place to live, unless it is an earthquake, Ye Qin does not have to worry about it at all.

In the second half of the night, the sound of crackling raindrops continued, making Ye Qin unable to concentrate at all, and there was no way to sink into meditation, but fortunately he circled his body into a ball to rest.
