long after the two appeared.
Hu Qi will stop breathing.
He leaned down, opened and closed the snake's mouth, and swallowed the food presented by the two small snakes in one gulp.
Then, he swung his thick tail casually and patted the heads of the two little snakes.
To show encouragement.
Then he immersed himself in his own cultivation.
for this situation.
The two little snakes seemed to have gotten used to it, and quietly retreated one meter away, imitating Hu Qi.
Coil your body in circles and raise your head.
Swallowing the slender letter, he clumsily but diligently imitated Hu Qi's movements of absorbing spiritual energy.
Their frequencies are messy, not even a bit worse than the smoothness of Hu Qi.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy gathered by Hu Qi Spirit Devouring Talent was like an invisible energy vortex. Even if the spiritual energy escaped just one meter away, the two little snakes benefited a lot.
Maybe it was in the snake egg that my Spirit Devouring Talent began to absorb spiritual energy.
Let the two little snakes around them also get the light, which makes them very intelligent, comparable to five or six-year-old children.
Previously, after the snake eggs in the cave were eaten.
The two little snakes had no food, so they began to learn the behavior of Hu Qi and took the initiative to dive into the water to find food.
Thanks to a body nourished by some spiritual energy, and the two almost hunt together.
Basically every time I go out, I gain a lot.
later.
Every time the two little guys come back, they will offer the captured prey to Hu Qi.
In this cruel world, the law of the jungle is constant.
This is something engraved in the bones of all living things.
Understand that only by relying on the strong can you survive.
Among the three, Hu Qi is undoubtedly the strongest.
for this to happen.
Hu Qi did not refuse.
It is assumed that these two little snakes stayed here to relieve his boredom.
Just, in the past few days.
The female snake that laid these eggs has never been seen.
It seems that they have been completely abandoned long ago.
But this is normal.
Different species of snakes behave differently after laying eggs. Some will take care of them, while others will not.
Some snakes will protect their eggs after laying eggs.
For example, it curls its body around the egg and raises its body temperature through rhythmic muscle contraction, providing a suitable temperature environment for the hatching of snake eggs, promoting hatching, and protecting the eggs from external threats.
However, there are also some female snakes who usually lay their eggs in hidden places, such as grass, caves, piles of rotten leaves, etc.
It hatches with the help of the temperature and humidity of the natural environment. After laying the eggs, it will leave without any care for the snake eggs.
Look at your surroundings.
Barring no accident, it should be the latter.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the female snake encountered some accident and died outside.
These thoughts just flashed through his mind.
The presence or absence of the female snake didn't matter to him.
He breathed out spiritual energy.
While checking the condition of the body.
down these days.
Hu Qi dives into the water to look for food every day when he is hungry.
The rest of the time is spent absorbing spiritual energy and nourishing the physical body.
Just a few days.
The strength of his body has grown a lot, and the muscles and skin have become tougher.
And, after several days of exploration.
Let him summarize a set of the most effective techniques for breathing and exhaling spiritual energy.
It can improve the efficiency by nearly 30% under normal conditions.
Unfortunately, this method can only be regarded as some skills.
Skills are not formed on the panel.
Therefore, points cannot be added.
After such a long time.
He already has a basic understanding of Scarlet Panel.
This happens.
It may be because he lacks knowledge of the cultivation system and cultivation methods in this world.
besides.
Just recently, he felt a little itchy on his body.
Hu Qi feels something in his heart.
It should be time to shed its skin.
Shedding is very important for snakes.
The most important of these is promoting growth.
Snake skin is not elastic like human skin, but is relatively tough and has limited ductility.
As the snake grows, its body continues to become larger and thicker, and the old skin will limit its growth.
By shedding its skin, the snake can get rid of the shackles of its old skin, providing space for further growth of the body and allowing the body to develop normally.
The second is to repair the damage.
Because of the habits of snakes.
In daily activities, the skin will inevitably suffer various injuries, such as being scratched by branches, fighting with other animals, etc.
Molting can replace damaged skin, and the new skin can better protect the snake's body, reduce damage to the body from external factors, and reduce the risk of infection.
Generally, young snakes shed their skin most frequently.
It will shed once every few months.
And after adulthood.
It will take a relatively long time to shed once every few years.
It has only been half a month since Hu Qi was born.
The reason for this is obviously that he grew in size too fast.
A few more days passed.
In the cave, it's very quiet.
Only a slight rustle echoed in the dim cave.
now.
A giant black snake with a body length of five to six meters is entrenched deep in the cave.
Its body clung to the rough cave wall and kept twisting, as if it was breaking free from some invisible restraint.
The head of the huge black snake rubbed repeatedly on a raised rock.
Finally, the old skin on the neck was torn open.
The body shook slightly, and the old skin gradually peeled off from the head, revealing new, shimmering scales.
Its movements are getting faster and faster, and the old skin is like a stripped rag, constantly sliding backwards as it twists.
The sound of snake scales rubbing against the cave wall was particularly clear in the silent cave at this moment.
It didn't take long.
The snake skin peels off.
A larger snake emerged from it.
This snake is Hu Qi who has just finished shedding its skin.
Feeling the situation inside the body.
now.
In his body, the spine is located near the abdomen.
There is an extra thin gray-black silk thread.
Be aware of this.
Hu Qi On the face of a snake, there was an extremely anthropomorphic look of surprise.
"This should be the so-called Demonic Power..."
Based on the information fed back by Primordial Demon Refining Record.
Hu Qi is not completely ignorant of this world.
Among them, Demonic Power is a special energy stored in the body of various monsters.
Similar to the magic power of a cultivator.
Can be used to improve the physical quality of Demonic Beasts.
It has strength, speed, endurance, etc. beyond ordinary creatures.
It can also perform various kinds of magic.
Only by condensing Demonic Power can it be considered that this creature has entered the ranks of spirits.
Ordinary creatures want to take this step.
At least it should be calculated in units of ten years.
Qualification is one aspect.
More importantly.
For ordinary creatures, their intelligence is lower than that of humans.
They are, above all, enlightening.
Only with enough wisdom can you consciously breathe Spiritual Energy.
Moreover, other creatures cannot sit down and practice breathing and practice for a long time because of their wild beast habits.
It's like asking bad students to study.
He knew that studying hard could improve his scores, but it was a pity that he couldn't calm down at all.
It usually takes three days to fish and two days to dry the nets.
This is why ordinary living things need to accumulate over time to give birth to Demonic Power in the body.
certainly.
There are also some lucky little guys among them, who can get through this process as quickly as possible by taking some natural materials Earth Treasure.
Or some descendants of Great Demon with heels can directly condense Demonic Power.
Let's talk about the truth.
The Cosmic Coiling Serpent bloodline possessed by Hu Qi is more terrifying than those so-called descendants of Great Demon.
It stands to reason that you should have been able to cross this step long ago and directly condense Demonic Power.
But in fact this is not the case.
He had a premonition.
Cosmic Coiling Serpent's bloodline is latent in the body, but this body is too weak.
It has not been fully stimulated yet.
When his strength reaches a certain limit, he may reveal the horror of Cosmic Coiling Serpent.
after.
Hu Qi briefly looked at his body.
A lot of changes have taken place compared to before.
The biggest difference is that the body size reaches about ten meters in length.
Ten meters, converted, is almost equivalent to a three-story building.
The snake's body became thicker, almost reaching half a meter.
The originally pitch-black snake scales were even darker in color.
Moreover, there is a small white dot in the center of each snake scale.
At first glance, it looks like densely packed small white eyes.
It looks extremely weird.
I recall seeing the picture about Cosmic Coiling Serpent before.
His body seemed to be as pale as death.
Now that white spots appear on the body scales, it means that the Cosmic Coiling Serpent bloodline in the body has begun to grow due to this peeling.
It will grow with the passage of time and its own strength.
Replace the original blood of ordinary snakes in the body.
Moved slightly.
The body made a slight sound when it touched the surrounding cave walls.
The surrounding cave was originally quite wide, but it has grown in size along with it.
It has become somewhat cramped and closed.
"It seems that we need to change places, or leave this place and go outside to have a look."
Just when Hu Qi had this idea.
A red shadow emerged from the water on the side.
It is the little male snake named Ah Hong.
Of course, the smallest one is only for Hu Qi.
In fact, Ah Hong's body size has reached the point of two meters two three.
To be honest, it's not that small.
At this moment, it is after seeing Hu Qi.
Its body trembled slightly.
Hu Qi's body was almost unsteady due to the feeling of oppression.
After reacting.
A flash of anxiety flashed across Snake's eyes, like an ant on a hot pot.
It kept wagging its tail and pointing eagerly into the water. Its movements were panicked and rapid, as if it was desperately trying to convey something.
Seeing that Hu Qi showed no reaction, it seemed to be very anxious and wanted to open its mouth and bite Hu Qi and pull him out.
But as soon as he got closer, he suddenly stopped and shrank back in fear.
Hu Qi looked at Ah Hong and saw its originally bright red scales.
There were traces of bright red blood snaking down, which was shocking. It was obvious that he had been injured.
In addition, Ah Huang did not return together with Ah Hong.
Hu Qi understood that if nothing unexpected happened, his cheap sister Ah Huang might have encountered an accident.
Hiss, hiss...
Hu Qi let out a low and long neighing sound.
Then, the figure swayed and rushed out.
At this moment, beside a rock next to a mountain stream.
A golden python about two meters long was fighting with a Bald Eagle.
No.
To be more precise.
It's this Bald Eagle who is playing with this Yellow Python.
Its sharp claws are like a pair of iron hooks, tightly grasping Yellow Python's waist.
Yellow Python twisted desperately, his thick body bent like a spring, trying to wrap his body around Bald Eagle.
But Bald Eagle relied on his agility to avoid it time and time again.
Its wings flapped, its claws kept tearing, and its beak was like a sharp cone pecking at Yellow Python's eyes and head.
Yellow Python's scales were torn off, revealing pink flesh, and the blood instantly dyed the rocks and soil below red.
Yellow Python struggled in pain, his body kept rolling, trying to shake off Bald Eagle, and then escaped back into the water.
But all this is in vain.
Bald Eagle's sharp beaks fell like raindrops.
Scales stained with blood were scattered on the ground.
Yellow Python's resistance became increasingly weak, and his movements gradually became slower.
See this.
A cruel look flashed in the eyes of this Bald Eagle, and it raised its head. It had had enough fun.
Get ready to end this game.
Wow!
However, at this moment.
The water in the mountain stream on one side suddenly exploded, and the water spray rose high.
Bang!
There was no time to react.
In an instant, a black shadow was wrapped in the whistling wind, tearing through the sky as fast as lightning.
Bald Eagle, who was standing proudly just now, with a height of more than one meter, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Only the blood-stained feathers that had been torn apart by violence were scattered messily.
The place was replaced by a terrifying black snake with a body length of ten meters.
The black snake's head was raised, and there were a few blood-stained gray feathers at the corners of its mouth.
Gulu...
A small bulge slid down his neck and disappeared.
Hiss...
At this time.
Yellow Python, covered in blood and looking depressed, saw this scene.
Raise your head.
The sound was very urgent.
However, Hu Qi couldn't understand it at all.
The language among snakes is simple.
At best, he could only roughly understand some simple information from the other party.
What is too complex cannot be done.
call out!
Just then.
Behind Hu Qi, a few meters away, leaves swayed.
A black arrow shot out in a spinning direction.
There was a sharp sound carried by the breaking wind.
It hit Hu Qi directly on the head.
The arrow is very powerful.
Plus a sharpened iron arrow tip.
The power can penetrate a bamboo pole in one stroke.
However.
The snake scales that hit Hu Qi's body only spattered a wisp of sparks, leaving not even a white mark.
Hu Qi turned his head and looked at the location where the arrow was shot.
Under a tree not far away, there stood a strong figure of a young man, dressed in coarse linen clothes and holding a black iron long bow in his hand.
Obviously that arrow was shot by the opponent.
However, the young man's face at this time was full of shock and sluggishness.
Apparently he still hasn't recovered from the scene just now.
The arrow he shot was easily blocked by the opponent.
You know, his strength is not small, and with the five-stone Iron Bull Bow in his hand, he can easily kill an adult wild wolf within a hundred steps.
But now, within a distance of no more than twenty steps, arrows hit the opponent.
It didn't cause any harm.
At this time, he seemed to be aware of the gaze cast by Hu Qi, after looking into the cold, emotionless snake eyes of Crimson.
In an instant, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and the hair on his body stood on end. A strong premonition of danger spread crazily in his heart.
Without any room for hesitation, the young man quickly distanced himself.
At the same time, he reached behind his back, drew out an arrow neatly, placed it on the long bow, and pulled the bow string full force.
With a "swish" sound, the arrow shot out like a meteor, piercing the air.
However, the arrow missed.
Looking closely, the huge black snake beside the rocks in the mountain stream has disappeared, leaving only empty rocks and gurgling water.
In an instant.
Without warning, he suddenly felt his body being tightened by a powerful force.
Immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling chill spread quickly from the surface of the skin, as if a layer of frost had condensed instantly.
He lowered his head subconsciously and his pupils shrank suddenly.
I saw that the huge black snake had quietly wrapped itself around my body at some point.
The scales of the black snake shone with an icy cold light, and each time it wound around it, there was a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Want to die or live?"
Just when he was full of panic and at a loss.
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
