Chapter 11 The Serpents Bask in the Sun

"It's... Zero? ”

Among the last group of snake demons to enter the valley, a girl tied up like a caterpillar caught Xu Yue's attention, and the black and white SLR camera hanging on the other party's chest was quite familiar.

After reliving his memories in his mind, he recognized this girl as the worker who had sold him the Enchantment after the trial.

The other party was now being carried by a male snake demon in her hand, and a vine was tied tightly from her chest to her legs.

Looking at the past, it was like a green caterpillar constantly chrysalis under the hands of the snake demon, and his smooth face was full of expressions of lovelessness.

As a large tribe, the snake demon will naturally have the consciousness of stockpiling food, and for creatures that are not strong in combat, they will often bundle them up and bring them back to the snake valley for storage, one is to reserve food, and the other is to pay tribute to the snake demon king.

As a worker of the park, Yi Zero undoubtedly belongs to the type that does not have much combat ability and does not have much threat to race.

So after meeting the snake demon, she was unfortunately brought back by the snake demon as a reserve food, but fortunately, at least she did not die on the spot.

For this worker, Xu Yue was quite impressed, the last time he traded with him, he had felt an inexplicable sense of peeping, most of which came from her, and the other party should not be as simple as it seemed.

After looking carefully, compared with the last time we met, she had an extra pair of black-rimmed glasses, and although this girl had a gloomy face, she seemed to be desperate.

But under the transparent lenses, a pair of big round eyes are constantly spinning, scanning everything around.

It didn't seem to have completely given up struggling, and suddenly, when her bright eyes were looking around, they happened to meet Xu Yue's interested gaze, Yi Ling's body stiffened slightly, but quickly shifted her gaze as if nothing happened.

On the boulder, Xu Yue's pupils shrank, and the snake's tail was entwined with a dent on the stone wall.

Sure enough, there are some doorways that can even recognize me when I am in this state. ’

Although the other party's movements just now were subtle, Xu Yue, who had always been watching her, still found the clue, and when the two sides looked at each other, the emotion that flashed in Yi Ling's eyes was definitely surprised.

There is a high probability that the other party recognizes himself.

After watching Izero be caught up and walked into the cave, he lowered his eyes, and after he had dealt with the snake demon in a while, he would go and see her, of course, provided that she could survive by then.

Taniguchi, as the last snake demon returned from outside the valley, the two snake demons in charge of guarding began to move the boulder located on Taniguchi's side.

When the time came, the red sun in the sky gradually rose to its highest point, and a brilliant golden glow sprinkled from the clouds, under the effect of the unique topography of the Snake Valley.

The glow began to gather in the valley, and gradually the entire interior of the snake valley began to be plated with a layer of brilliant golden gauze, and even the faintly flowing golden light could be seen in the air.

The boulders at the mouth of the valley have been closed, and the entire Snake Valley is completely closed, and one after another snake demons are pouring out of the caves on the rock wall, lazily lying around the Snake Valley.

Looking from above, I saw that the original emerald green snake valley had been covered by cold scale armor all over the place.

The lawn, boulders, tree canopy, everything in the valley is clinging to snakes of different sizes and colors, and the whole scene is terrifying and has a different kind of beauty.

This is the group activity that the snake demon clan will carry out almost every day as long as conditions permit, basking in the sun.

As a monster born from snakes, the snake demon also retains a considerable part of snake instincts, such as sensitive perception, good at camouflage ambushes, likes darkness, resists hunger, and needs to absorb heat from the outside world.

As ectotherms, snakes are creatures that do not have a self-regulating system in their bodies, because they cannot regulate their own body temperature, so they need to rely on the intake of heat from the outside world, and the sun is undoubtedly the largest heat source between heaven and earth.

By basking in the sun, their bodies can absorb enough heat energy to meet the needs of many activities such as survival, activity, predation, digestion, etc.

Only when the internal temperature reaches a certain level can the snake ensure that the body is active, not stiff.

The snake demon clan has also inherited this characteristic, although they do not have to rely entirely on and take in calories from the outside world, but the daily noon sun is also a very beneficial activity for physical and mental comfort, it is a rare leisure time for the snake demon group, and no snake demon will refuse this temptation.

Every time, close to noon, all the snake demons who went out will return en masse, and after special transformation, the snake valley will gather the warm energy of the sun to an optimal level for the entire snake demon group to absorb.

The sun basking time generally lasts for 2 to 3 hours, and the snake group will not disperse until the sun changes from warm to hot, which is why Xu Yue chose this time period to enter the snake valley, he needs a time to gather all the snake demon groups.

At this time, with the increase of warm heat energy in the valley, the snake demons gradually fell into a lazy and idle state.

Even the group of young snake demons, who were usually the most active, now lost their desire to play and play, and lazily crouched in one place unwilling to move.

And Xu Yue, who was wrapped around a big stone, also felt drowsy at this moment, and the warm sunlight was seeping into the flesh and blood through the scale armor on the surface of his body.

After transforming into a snake demon, the lingering cold feeling in the body is slowly dispelled, and what emerges is as comfortable as if the whole body is immersed in warm water.

Along with the snake demon in the Snake Valley, he now remained in a state of laziness and idleness, but his hidden eyes were staring intently at the largest cave in the rock wall, where there was a muffled sound, as if the sound of a heavy object running over the ground.

After a while, the muffled sound became clearer and clearer, and the snake demons in the valley also heard the movement like a heavy tank, and they all raised their bodies that were originally lying down, and spit out the snake letter in their mouths, and the neighing sound resounded throughout the valley, and they were shouting about the upcoming snake king!

In the midst of the long hissing of the snakes, a huge male snake demon poked his head out of the cave, and the huge body that stood upright and was more than three meters tall projected a large shadow, and behind him was a thick snake tail nearly twenty meters long, and the pitch-black scales the size of the basin reflected the cold and cold light of the forest, which was intimidating.

"Groan!!"

Different from the sharp hiss of ordinary snake demons, the voice of the snake demon king is a low and long roar like a dragon's groan, solemn and intimidating.

The basilisk are intelligent creatures and understand human language, but they generally don't bother to use it unless it's hunting time, and the neighing of snake letters and the smell of snakes are enough to support their communication with each other.

After a long groan, the snake demons with their bodies raised back to their stomachs and continue to enjoy the warm sunbathing, while the snake demon king swam to a hill in the middle of the valley and climbed and entangled, which was its exclusive location.

The movement stopped, and the valley suddenly fell silent, and no other noise could be heard except for the heavy breathing of the snake demon king.

The snakes were all in a state of slumber-like rest, which was why the Snake Valley was locked down, and they hated outside interference the most.

But in the quiet and silent environment, there was no snake demon to pay attention, and the daylight temperature in the canyon today seemed to be much higher than usual, and in the bright glow that covered the canyon, there were also many golden-red fine light spots.
