Chapter Twenty-Six: The Yellow-Spotted Tiger
Tang Yun looked up at the bright moonlight, and then looked around through the moonlight, and found that the place where he was now was a small and narrow valley, the entire valley was only forty or fifty meters wide, and the length was a thousand meters. The valley is flanked on both sides by rugged gray-white rocks that are littered with cracks and potholes, large and small.
And Tang Yun is now drilling out of one of the inconspicuous cracks.
The valley was covered with a thin layer of snow, and it was late at night, and the sky was not covered with dark clouds, but there were still small snowflakes fluttering.
"Hey......"
Looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky, Tang Yun sighed sadly, he had a hunch that the life of eating and sleeping and sleeping with long meat in Wangjia Village was far away from him.
In the distance he saw the branches of the tall trees outside the valley, and from the size of the branches of the trees, he knew that he was in the depths of the primeval jungle. Where there is human activity, it is impossible to see such tall trees.
Tang Yun, who had been stuffed underground for a long time, finally saw the light of day again, and involuntarily began to breathe in a big gulp of fresh air, and after a while, he felt that the depressing feeling of staying in the closed space for a long time disappeared.
Just after Tang Yun felt that his mental depression was gone, his stomach made a "gurgling" sound, and the non-stop secretion of stomach acid and the constantly wriggling gastric muscles were like an idling crusher, letting out bursts of roars, reminding: It's time to recharge!
Climbing down from the stone wall of the valley, Tang Yun spat out the snake letter, and soon sensed that there was a strong water vapor gathering outside the canyon, and that direction was either a river or a lake. Where there are rivers and lakes, there are always a lot of creatures and fish can always be caught.
Tang Yun followed the perception of his tongue and crawled in the direction where the water vapor came from, and after leaving the valley, he didn't go far before he saw a lake. The black light is blind, and he doesn't know how big the lake is, but he can know by feeling the cool breeze blowing on the lake that the area of this lake should not be too small.
Tang Yun, who was so hungry that his stomach hurt, plunged into the water, sensed it carefully, and did not find any special smell left by predators, so he boldly dived into the deep water with confidence.
After being a snake for a few years, most of Tang Yun's prey came from the water, and hunting in the water was a simple thing for him, and in less than a minute, he landed with a big-headed monster fish more than a foot long. The big-headed monster fish had been poisoned by him, and he didn't bother to move the place after dragging it ashore, so he swallowed the big fish by the lake.
If other snakes do this, it is purely to find death, most of the snakes will be lazy after eating, and their mobility will be much weaker than usual, and they will often fall into a deep sleep after eating a full meal.
And the lake and riverside this kind of place, is often a place where wild animals gather in the river, maybe in winter, the river will have fewer creatures, but less does not mean no, where wolves come and go, which predator sees such a well-fed snake, I am afraid it will be very happy to have a snack to eat.
However, these are not a big problem for Tang Yun, his digestive ability is far stronger than that of ordinary snakes, he can digest the food he eats in his stomach at a very fast speed, and his viscera has been tempered by true qi, and it is also tougher than most creatures, even if he swallows such a big fish, it will not affect his actions.
The big-headed monster fish was swallowed, and the stomach acid, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately began to digest the carcass of the big fish, and the strong and powerful stomach wall muscles peristalsed like a grinder, and in a short time the whole big fish was crushed into slag.
"No, I don't feel full! It seems that the previous strenuous exercise consumed too much physical energy. After smashing his mouth, Tang Yun found that he hadn't eaten much, so he simply rested in place for a while before diving into the lake again.
After catching four big fish a few feet long in a row, Tang Yun finally had enough to eat, and he didn't take it with him by the lake, but returned to the valley before, and casually found a narrow stone crevice to hide, waiting for dawn.
Now in the middle of the night, it was pitch black everywhere, and Tang Yun had also tried to identify his direction, but in the darkness, he couldn't even distinguish between the south, east, west, and northwest, let alone the location of Wangjia Village.
The winter forest is much quieter than the other three seasons, and most of the creatures hide before the winter arrives, using various methods to survive the harsh winter.
It wasn't until the sun hung high in the sky that Tang Yun, who had slept well, came out of the crack in the stone.
Entrenched under a hidden stone, Tang Yun carefully observed the valley in front of him, and there were rows of footprints on the snow in the valley that he didn't know if it was a cow or a large goat, and even from a long distance he could smell the fishy smell unique to this kind of herbivore.
Tang Yun, who was a little caught off guard, was so smoked by this fishy smell that he sneezed twice in a row, and then finally got used to it. Then he looked left and right, but he didn't find any danger here, so he walked boldly along the animal path trampled by the well-known animal towards the lake.
He decided to go to the lake to solve his breakfast problem first.
When Tang Yun came to the lake, there was already a large herd of goats drinking water there.
Habitually spitting out the snake letter, sensing the smell around him, he keenly noticed the unique breath of the predator, looked left and right, and soon found a huge spotted tiger in a pile of dead leaves with a small amount of snow.
At the same time that Tang Yun found the tiger, the tiger also looked at him, and after discovering that it was a big black snake, a look of jealousy flashed in the tiger's eyes, and then he no longer paid attention to Tang Yun, but turned his head and continued to stare at the group of goats.
Ignoring the tiger that was about to hunt and the group of goats that had been taken as prey but didn't know it, Tang Yun slid straight towards the lake. And the goats who drank the water saw such a big poisonous snake coming, and they all avoided it. After all, in the jungle, there are very few animals that are willing to provoke poisonous snakes, except for a few eagles.
Following the way for the goats to get out of the way, Tang Yun soon arrived at the lake. This time he finally got a good view of the lake - the water area was not large, it looked a bit like a rugby ball, and the distance from his position to the other side of the lake was about a kilometer or more, which was a relatively narrow place.
After a little observation, Tang Yun plunged headlong into the water, his breakfast this morning had not been settled, he had to eat and drink enough before he had the strength to explore the surrounding environment.
The surface of the lake is still cold, but after a meter or two of diving, the water temperature slowly rises. After all, the specific heat capacity of the water is very large, and even in the cold winter, the heat in the lake water will not be completely dissipated in a short time.
After drilling in the lake for a while, Tang Yun caught a big silver carp nearly half a meter long and dragged it quickly to the shore with his mouth.
When he was about to reach the shore, he suddenly noticed that there was a strong smell of blood in the water. The appearance of this bloody aura startled Tang Yun, who had always been a little nervous, and hurriedly spread out the perception of his whole body vigilantly, carefully observing the surrounding environment, for fear that some predators would target him.
After a while, Tang Yun discovered the source of the smell of blood, a three-meter-long striped tiger was lying on the edge of the lake gnawing on the carcass of the big goat, and the blood of the big goat was constantly falling into the lake.
Seeing that the smell of blood was made by the spotted tiger, Tang Yun was also relieved, dragged the big silver carp around the location of the tiger, and then found a gentle gravel beach and climbed up. The location of the gravel beach was more than thirty meters away from the yellow-spotted tiger, and at this distance he was confident that even if the big tiger wanted to do something to him, he would be able to dive into the water and escape in time.
Feeling that his position was safe, Tang Yun, who was already hungry, did not delay any longer, and swallowed the big silver carp in one bite.
A huge silver carp went down to the belly, Tang Yun hurriedly coiled himself up, and his body kept twisting, driving the smooth muscles of the stomach to move and accelerate the digestion of the food in the stomach.
After about half an hour, Tang Yun's stomach that was bulging high because he swallowed a large piece of food finally disappeared, and a whole big silver carp was actually digested by him in this short half an hour.
Tang Yunpan, who was well-fed and drunk, was basking in the sun on a stone by the lake while observing the huge spotted tiger with great interest.
At this time, the tiger was holding a goat's leg bone and gnawing, only to see it tear off the meat on the leg of the lamb and swallow it in three or two times, and then scrape off the broken meat on the bone with its tongue full of meat thorns, and after eating the meat on the bone, the tiger still did not lose the bone, but opened its big mouth and bit down towards the center of the goat's leg bone.
With a "click", the goat's leg bone was as crispy as a Want Want snow cake in front of the big tiger's huge bite force, and as the teeth closed, the bone was also broken into several pieces. The big tiger stuck out its tongue and licked the marrow inside the bones clean.
After eating a leg of mutton, the big tiger was about to eat the rest of the sheep's head, but suddenly felt Tang Yun's peeping, looked up in his direction, and saw the big black snake staring at it at a glance.
Seeing that it was a poisonous snake staring at him, the big tiger suddenly became a little uncomfortable. In fact, even Lao Tzu, the king of heaven, would feel uncomfortable when he was stared at like this by a poisonous snake.
The tiger nibbled on two mouthfuls of mutton, raised his eyes to look at the poisonous snake staring at him, lowered his head and nibbled on two mouthfuls of mutton, and then looked up to find that the big black snake was still staring at him, and couldn't help but let out a low roar of pain, and then ran into the jungle with the rest of the sheep's head in his mouth.
