Chapter 2: Survival is struggling

As the golden crow rose into the sky, the darkness that enveloped the world quickly receded, the light once again ruled the world, and the whole forest awoke from the silence of the night, and became noisy and vibrant again. Before being hit by the sunlight, the creatures of the jungle seemed to feel the invisible pulsation in the darkness and woke up from their slumber.

In the simple snake nest under the fallen leaves, Tang Yun crawled out with his head probed, there would be many animals to drink water in the morning, although this location was a remote place that the mother snake had chosen, but Tang Yun still didn't dare to be careless.

A steep concave water's edge, Tang Yun swam in, there was a small hidden hole, with his current body shape, but it was just right, this was a position that he had found after shaking a lot of circles in the morning. The place is in a mess of rocks, and it is very well hidden.

In the early morning, the river is always noisy, animals come and go to come here to drink, there are also large and small predators looking for hunting opportunities here, Tang Yun hiding in the small hole can even hear the screams of creatures outside from time to time when they are dying.

It wasn't until the sun rose in mid-air that the hustle and bustle of the outside world gradually became lighter that Tang Yun got into the water and started a new day's life.

The jet-black and gloomy body was a little conspicuous in the water, and some fish larger than Tang Yun's size avoided it far away, only those stupid little tadpoles didn't take Tang Yun seriously.

I was a little ashamed in my heart, when the snake was to eat tadpoles, it was also a wonder in the poisonous snake world, Tang Yun turned shame into appetite and frantically pounced on it.

This little tadpole nutrition is really not good, it looks quite big, but when it is eaten in the mouth, the stomach does not feel full at all, and eating too much is like drinking a stomach of water, the stomach is swollen, but after a soak of urine, I am hungry again.

Although he only survived for a day, Tang Yun's amount of food increased a lot, and it wasn't until he ate more than forty tadpoles that he began to think about something new.

Since there are people in this vicinity, the place where he crosses will not be the Jurassic Cretaceous, and there should be no top predators such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Tyrannosaurus rex, or magical creatures such as the 800-meter-tall Mushan Beast...... Bar...... As long as you wait until your fangs grow, then few animals will dare to provoke you.

After all, he is a poisonous snake, and the deadly snake venom and the two taels of meat of this small body are not worth the life of those big predators.

While swimming along the riverbank, a vague white shadow suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the snake letter he spit out also sensed a completely different smell from the tadpole.

The surface of the river is as calm as ever, and the clear water clearly shows the appearance of the white shadow.

This is...... Shrimp?

Tang Yun, who couldn't see clearly, confirmed that the white shadow's body shape and figure didn't look like a threat to him, so he cautiously approached the water's edge, his eyes almost touching the surface of the water, and finally he could barely see the appearance of the white shadow clearly.

The body that was thinner than Tang Yun's, the transparent body was almost the same as water, and through the cells that sensed the smell on the snake letter, he could feel that there were no less than a hundred or ten of these small white shrimps on this riverbed alone.

Shrimp......

Tang Yun couldn't help but slip his mouth a little, after exercising for so long, it was time to eat again......

A trace of hideous snake mouth has appeared, biting a river shrimp fiercely, the sweet shrimp juice enters the throat, bringing Tang Yun a sweet and delicious feeling, just one day, the teeth in the mouth have been significantly stronger, and it is easy to deal with this young shrimp.

Three river shrimp in the stomach, Tang Yun felt a little lazy, shrimp is really nutritious food! No wonder this kind of thing was sold so expensive in the previous life.

If it is an ordinary snake, after eating a full stomach, it will find a hidden place to digest until the next time it is hungry again, and then come out to hunt again.

It can be said that, except for those creatures at the top of the food chain, other predators spend their lives in an infinite cycle of "starving-predating-resting-starving-predation" until they are hunted by other more powerful predators, or they die of old age.

The kind of thing of dividing the territory and guarding the territory is only qualified to do it when you are full of food and clothing, as a hanging snake that lives at the bottom of the forest, Tang Yun does not have the ability to be so high-end and high-grade, and the problem he needs to consider now is still how to fill his stomach.

Tang Yun is naturally unwilling to just be a little snake waiting for death, and if he has a little more control over the surrounding environment in which he will live for a long time, he may be able to save his snake life when he can.

He opened his mouth wide and yawned widely, holding back his tiredness and continuing to swim.

What was learned on this day was not far from what Tang Yun had expected yesterday.

Since there are human beings living nearby, there are naturally no large predators, not to mention the depths of the river and the depths of the woods for the time being, the situation near the river alone is extremely quiet, except for the occasional flying mountain birds, there are no other predators at all, but there are many small animals like small fish and shrimp, flying insects and spiders.

"Alas, the snake lady who has never met has chosen a good place, but unfortunately there are so many brothers and sisters, after all, only I survived!"

The more he swam, the more Tang Yun felt that the contents of his stomach were digested quickly, especially when he was walking on the shore, his chest and abdomen rubbed against the ground, and after his body was hot, the feeling of fullness in his stomach disappeared faster, and his whole body was full of energy, so that Tang Yun had to go into the water several times to catch shrimp.

The body of the parade stopped suddenly, and Tang Yun turned his head to look at his tail.

"This ...... Doesn't seem like it was that long yesterday?"

I couldn't believe that my body seemed to have grown six or seven millimeters after just one day! And it seemed that my body was stronger, and it didn't have the delicate feeling I had when I was born yesterday.

This growth rate made Tang Yun a little excited.

"By the way, from yesterday to today, I have eaten more than six or seven times as much as normal eating, and if I look at it this way, it seems that a few millimeters longer is a normal thing......

"So, what I'm going to do is just keep eating, and then keep moving and digesting, and then just wait for the digested food to become energy for my body?"

Tang Yun seemed to have found his way to survive.

Ordinary creatures, only know how to live in ignorance, few people will deliberately exercise their instincts, Tang Yun's biggest strength of this little snake is that he knows what to do best for himself, and can tolerate the influence of his body's instincts......

This realization, for Tang Yun, was like a thunderbolt that split through the fog in front of him and allowed him to find a way forward, but for other creatures, it was life and death.

Originally, Tang Yun still wanted to explore the environment, so he went back to the cave to hide, and took a nap after a meal, but now he changed his plan and changed his plan to continue to hunt, continue to crawl on the bank of the river, encounter a stone from time to time, and try to use it as a prey, strangle it, and exercise the strength of his body muscles.

Such strenuous exercise made Tang Yun have a fierce metabolism all the time, although it was not suitable for more strenuous exercise because he had just been born, but this kind of intensity could be said to be unprecedented in the uncivilized young beast world, even if it was a high-level predator with the guidance of his parents, absolutely no cub would want him to take the initiative to hone himself!

During this period, a few big birds flew by, and they had bad intentions towards Tang Yun's delicate little fresh meat that looked very delicious, but he was extremely vigilant, and he would never leave the river for half a meter, and at the first danger he would burrow into the cave found in the water in advance, and this afternoon was spent in this kind of busyness.

The creature of the snake originally belonged to the night owl that came out of the day and night, and the higher the body temperature, the stronger the activity of the snake, Tang Yun tossed himself like this, when the sun went down and it was dark in the mountains and forests, he didn't have a trace of sleep.

The vision of snakes is not good, mainly to determine the environment by smell and heat, even if Tang Yun, a snake, has a different soul, but he still can't change the natural defects of snakes. However, this defect does not have any effect in the dark woods where you can't reach your fingers, at most the human soul is not very adapted to the dark environment.

The external temperature sensed by the heat sensor was conducted through the nerves, and finally sketched a picture of the snake's unique heat vision in his mind, twisting his body to adapt to this strange sensory experience, Tang Yun, who had no sleepiness, simply did not force himself to sleep, but twisted his slender body and continued to exercise.

Compared with the noisy daytime, the clean night is actually more suitable for the infestment of snakes, after all, at this time, whether it is a sparrow or a pheasant, the natural enemies of some young snakes have already returned to their nests to sleep, in the vast dark night, this area is almost completely quiet, only the fine "click" sound of Tang Yun rubbing against the stubborn stone.

And those river shrimp that require great effort to catch during the day are now even more arbitrary, and they don't have the agility of the daytime, which makes Tang Yun exclaim.

If yesterday was trembling all day, then this day is the blood boiling, the crisis of life and death has temporarily disappeared, and the way forward has been found, these two things made Tang Yun a burst of joy and excitement, he believes that it will not be long before he can grow into the top predator in this forest, at least the group of little sparrows no longer dare to provoke themselves.

After tossing for a little in the middle of the night, Tang Yun's spirit began to be sleepy, swam to a small hole by the river, instinctively coiled himself in a circle, and before falling asleep, an idea popped up in his mind.

"Anyway, why do snakes always like to coil themselves in a circle?
