Chapter 12: The Bottleneck of Cultivation
Ye Qin was not complacent because he strangled a natural enemy several times larger than himself, and recalled the scene in the battle just now in his mind, and he was still reviewing it.
To be honest, if it weren't for cultivation, it would be impossible to strangle such a prey in nature.
Whether he was the original snake or not, the fact that he was once a human body still gave Ye Qin an advantage, and it was also the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the future.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have embarked on the path of cultivation.
Because animals have spirits but no intelligence, now they have both, and they can change strangely.
Lying on the ground and resting for a while, Ye Qin finally relieved himself.
Looking at the corpse of the falcon, it was difficult.
He wasn't hungry because he had eaten the squirrel before, let alone couldn't eat it for such a big one.
Besides, falcons have too many feathers on their bodies, and they don't taste good, just like some people don't like to eat fish because there are too many spines in it.
For Ye Qin, the falcon in front of him was the same thing, so he didn't bother to care, waiting for other carnivores to get rid of this falcon.
Ye Qin didn't know that not long after he left, there were no other predators waiting here.
A tall figure came from not far away, he slowly picked up the feathers that had fallen on the ground, and then saw the corpse of the falcon not far away.
"Hey, I was watching it fly this way before, why did it suddenly die."
The man was puzzled, carrying the body of the falcon, and after careful inspection, he found that this falcon had soft bones all over its body, as if it had been strangled by some force.
The surrounding grass is also a bit messy, with scattered feathers everywhere and some marks.
Judging from the situation at the scene, not long ago, this falcon had a big battle with other creatures.
Although the size of the falcon is not as good as that of the lion and tiger, in the sky, it is the absolute king, plus it can fly, and has absolute speed and sprint ability.
With the exception of the gigantic animals, most of the land creatures are no match for them.
The man's pupils shrank, and he saw something, and between the green blades of grass, several black scales glistened in the sunlight.
He picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a snake scale." ”
"Could it be that it was the snake that just fought with the falcon?"
The man was a little incredulous, the falcon is the natural enemy of snakes, sharp claws and beaks, these things have great lethality to snakes.
As long as they are caught, there is almost no chance of survival.
Seeing the falcon, the snake can't even run, how can it take the initiative to fight.
But in this battle, the serpent was victorious.
It's simply against the common sense of nature, and it is impossible to look at the entire ecosystem.
However, the scene in front of him was in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.
Snakes suffocate their prey by winding and their bones break to death, and the marks on the falcon's corpse are consistent with this characteristic.
In addition, he found snake scales, but other than that, there was no sign of any other animal.
All indications are that the creature that killed the falcon was the snake!
There has always been only the falcon catching snakes, but now it is the other way around, and although this kind of thing exists, it is not common.
Although there are examples of counter-killing in the animal kingdom, there is a premise and condition, and the difference in strength and volume between them will not be particularly outrageous.
The man looked at the snake scales in his hand, and he couldn't tell what kind of snake it was for a while, but the snake scales in front of him were relatively small, and it was speculated that the body should not be large.
It is well known that the strength and volume of living things are directly proportional.
A 5.5-meter-long python exerts up a pressure of up to 1 kg/cm2 on its prey.
So in the conversion, with such snake scales, the winding force can entangle two sparrows at most, or a huge vole, which is already up to the sky.
Winding the falcon in front of you to death is simply a fantasy, and it is impossible to happen, because the small snake does not have such power at all.
And according to what he knew, this big mountain is inhabited by small and medium-sized snakes, and it is impossible for pythons to be infested.
If it is forgivable to say that large snakes or highly venomous snakes kill back, a small snake is still non-venomous, and you want to kill an eagle?
It's just incredible.
Biologists are also amazed.
Everything in front of me is beyond common sense and unbelievable.
The man was a little strange, but he didn't think about it that much, "The world is so big, it's really strange." ”
......
On the other side, Ye Qin had already returned to the cave, and this time he had a full stomach, it was estimated that he would not have to go out to forage for food for a few days, and concentrate on cultivating in the cave.
Not far from the bones, there is a pit a few meters deep, which is not an exaggeration if you look at it from a human perspective.
But if the protagonist of the digging is replaced by a snake, it will be amazing.
Snakes are known to be creatures that do not burrow on their own, they do not have the habit of occupying the burrows of other animals, or finding a hole in the wild and barely serving as their own nest.
Not to mention digging such a big pit is simply against the common sense of living beings.
Ye Qin cleaned all the soil to the side, and the newly dug pit became more and more decent, and after a little while, it was estimated that it would be completed.
After doing all this, Ye Qin began to continue cultivating.
"Boom—"
Outside the cave, there is constant thunder, from far and near, indicating that a new round of rain is coming.
The sound of rain outside the cave was ticking, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, and occasionally there were a few loud frog chirps, as if they were playing a high symphony, but this could not affect Ye Qin.
He was able to quickly enter the state of visualization, but it was a pity.
The first time I entered the state of 'entering concentration' in cultivation, I never appeared again.
After contemplating for this period of time, he guessed that the previous state should not be common, not always appearing, representing a transcendent state of epiphany.
If he could enter that state, his body might undergo inexplicable changes, and even his cultivation would become more sophisticated.
However, these were just Ye Qin's conjectures, after all, he only entered in ignorance last time, and he didn't have time to figure out what was going on.
Later, when he tried to enter again, he didn't know the point, and he didn't know if it was the wrong time or the wrong method.
Maybe he won't figure it out until he goes into that epiphany a second time.
When Ye Qin opened his eyes again, the rain outside had stopped.
Without the annoying sound of the rain, his mood became uncalm, like a small stone thrown into the lake of his heart, causing a slight ripple.
"Hey, my cultivation in the past few days always feels a little wrong."
The specific Ye Qin can't be said clearly, and the way is unknown, as if he has obviously touched the threshold, but he is only missing the last layer of paper windows, and he can't break it no matter what.
There is a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, obviously only a little bit, but because there is no way, you can only keep wandering.
Ye Qin couldn't help but mutter, "This is probably the so-called bottleneck period, and for the future cultivation path, I am also secretly confused, I have no plan, just take one step at a time." ”
