Hundreds of thousands of mountains stretch endlessly, with poisonous insects, ferocious beasts, and miasma and bad water. The environment is harsh and usually inaccessible to people. The unique environment has nurtured countless creatures and rare elixirs.

The place where spiritual energy gathers will breed certain special medicinal materials, which contain the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, so they are often eaten by wild beasts.

One day, the white snake was roaming the mountains and forests hunting, unaware that the snake's life was about to change...

Animals and birds have the ability to distinguish the good and bad of things without learning or experience, just by intuition, as if there is some guidance in the dark, which is called instinct.

The white snake raises its head and spits out its scent to search for the scent of prey.

Suddenly, a scent particle that lures the snake deeply stimulates the olfactory system. It is a smell that has never been smelled before. The light fragrance makes the snake feel comfortable. There seems to be a voice in the mind telling the white snake to eat that thing quickly. With the deep soul,

The hereditary memory of White Snake confirmed that it was not a trap, and after a slight hesitation, he twisted his body to search for the scent.

Swimming across a small stream, Snake Xin kept catching the smell and crawled quickly. Judging from the smell, it was not far away. After climbing up the hillside, he found a hollow in the mountain stream halfway up the mountain. There was a small puddle about one meter in diameter inside. He saw the puddle.

There was a tender green grass next to it. The grass was as green as glass. The digestive juices unconsciously slipped from the corners of the mouth. Without any hesitation, the snake opened its mouth and pulled out the grass with roots and mud and swallowed it. Then, the white snake felt in its belly

Huo Nuan's eyes went dark and he fainted...

In fact, the grass is not a weed, nor is it a rare species in the world. It is just an old tonic with sufficient medicinal effects. It happens to be grown in a place where spiritual energy gathers. It is of high quality, but it is only a seedling. How does White Snake understand those who only know how to eat it?

What’s more, if you don’t eat it, there may be other beasts looking for it and fighting for it.

It is dangerous to fall into coma in the mountain forest. Fortunately, the small puddle is located in a mountain stream halfway up the mountain and is in a hidden location.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the white snake, which has been unconscious for a day, moves its tail and slowly wakes up.

After waking up, he silently cursed for being careless. Fortunately, he was not poisoned. He also felt that his whole body seemed to be bound and tight and uncomfortable. The white snake, which had shed its skin several times, knew that it was going to grow longer again, so it twisted its snake body and went down the mountain.

Return to the stone pile and dig into the rocks, scraping hard on the edges and corners of the rocks.

Snake scales are the outermost cuticle of the skin. They are very tough and can prevent the loss of water in the body. They will not grow as the body grows. The old snake skin must be shed to become larger. The white snake is a little confused. It has been less than a month since the last time it shed its skin.

Getting bigger again?

First, the snake skin falls off from the head, and the old skin is peeled off from the head to the trunk by using rough edges and corners. Finally, the tip of the snake's tail sheds its skin, and the entire molting process ends.

The white snake with human wisdom used its tail to roll up its old skin and hide it in the crevices of the rocks to prevent it from attracting the attention of falcons.

Shedding skin is very dangerous. Not to mention that natural enemies are watching. If the old skin cannot be shed, it is likely to cause death and consume a lot of nutrients. Many snake catchers take advantage of the snake's shedding to catch the snake when its body is stiff and its temperament is docile. Otherwise,

The white snake will not get into the rocks either.

Feeling exhausted, I fell asleep again...

the next day.

The white snake found that the scales on its body were whiter, more beautiful, and longer. It was five meters long from head to tail. It was considered a giant in this forest. A larger body meant greater fighting power. The white snake didn't know its own limit.

How much is it? Anyway, the bigger the better, it is always right.

The weather is good, so we can swim out of the cave and continue hunting.

The mountains are difficult to cultivate and are not suitable for human survival. The harsh environment is inaccessible. However, because of this, it has become a longing place for poor herb collectors. The herb collectors, armed with various tools and anthelmintics, go deep into the mountains to earn money for their families.

Living on a meager amount of money, many people have never been able to go out again.

There is a 100-meter-wide water pool in the valley. The water is small and deep. There is a moss-covered cliff beside the water. A man who looks to be in his thirties carrying a medicine basket is climbing on it to collect medicine.

Holding the vine tightly with your left hand, you dug out the complete herbs from the cracks in the stone with your right hand and carefully put them into your backpack.

Grab the vine and slowly move to another place. The herb collector was delighted when he saw the plant in the stone nest, Dendrobium candidum! This adventure into the mountains made a lot of money! The money he sold could even be used by the wife of the family to sell a piece of cloth to make clothes.

, the happy herb collector began to pick Dendrobium officinale, but did not notice that the vine in his hand was seriously worn by the rocks...

The medicinal collector felt that his left hand was empty and he fell backwards! He secretly thought that my life was at stake.

Plop~! Water splashes everywhere.

Most of the poor people who live in the mountains all year round know how to swim. The man wanted to swim to the shore, but when he just rolled down the cliff, his arm was injured and he couldn't use his strength. He could barely float on the water and couldn't swim. This made the man anxious.

"Help...help..."

The cry for help echoed in the valley. Even though he knew that no one was nearby, he clung to life-saving straws and called for help.

In the distance, the white snake raised its head.

There seemed to be some strange noise just now, but I found nothing unusual, so I lowered my head and crawled to continue looking for prey.

In fact, the cry for help was very loud, but snakes mostly use their belly to feel the vibrations, so they did not hear anyone calling for help clearly. It was not until the white snake came to the edge of the pool that it saw the figure rising and falling in the water through infrared sensing.

It was known through the infrared image that it was a human being.

people?

White Snake has never seen a single human being in twenty years, and once thought that there was no one in this world. The appearance of the drowned person stirred up memories of the past in the depths of his soul.

At this moment, the herb gatherer's flopping became more and more weak, and he slowly sank into the water.

When the herb collector thought that he was going to die, he saw a huge white snake swimming in the water. It was true that the herb collector was deep in the mountains and fell into the water. Misfortunes never come alone when he encounters a big snake.

My life is at an end...

Under the water, the white snake twisted its body and swam quickly to the herb collector. The snake's tail wrapped around his shoulders and swam hard to the shore.

It didn't take long.

"Ahem..."

The man who fell into the water kept coughing out water, and finally sat up suddenly to take a deep breath. Before he fell into coma, he remembered a big white snake pulling him away. When he woke up, he was on the shore. Where was that big snake?

He raised his head and saw the snake's head in front of him.

"ah……"

With a scream, the herb collector hurriedly retreated in panic, but behind him was the cliff with no way to retreat. The white snake did not move, and it looked at him with a look of contempt. Yes, contempt, the herb collector.

I'm sure the snake despised his yelling.

From the details of the man's clothing and hairstyle, White Snake can see that he is an ancient man, with yellow skin and black hair, an Oriental face, very backward weaving technology, and his clothing and hair are somewhat similar to the Qin and Han styles, which means that this is an ancient world.

After looking at it for a long time, the white snake turned and left.

For some reason, the herb collector seemed to feel the snake sighing. Is this still a snake?

White Snake just sighed, a snake is a snake, no matter what happened in the past life, it is the past. After seeing the person, his heart did not have much fluctuation. Maybe it was the Spring and Autumn Period of the past twenty years that made him bid farewell to the past. The reason why he saved people was just because he still had that feeling in his heart.

He is also the first person I met, which has some commemorative significance.

The man collecting herbs breathed a sigh of relief, checked the injury on his arm and found some herbs for treatment. After bandaging the wound, he realized that it was getting dizzy and it seemed that he would not be able to go out today.

The basket on my back was empty of dry food, and just when I was unbearably hungry, the white snake came back again.

He put down the strangled Jin Pheasant and turned around to leave.
