Under the blue sky, the wooden elf cargo spaceship slowly took off and moved away at an unhurried speed.
Hula la——
It rides on the wind and flies away under the flexible control of the elf piloting the spacecraft.
In the dark mine, a shadow flashed away, scarlet eyes looking at the departing spaceship, the longing in the eyes revealed.
"Jiji——"
A low and sharp chirping sound came from the mine.
After the sound spread not far away, it dissipated in the open space without leaving any trace.
The setting sun hanging in the west slowly sinks, and the silver crescent moon in the east slowly rises. Night is approaching.
After the sky darkened, the entire mine looked extremely dark, which made people feel terrified. There were tall trees in all directions, with thorns and thorny plants growing in the middle.
The predators and the hunted, large and small, all woke up from their sleep.
At night, the laws of the jungle are fully revealed.
The flying insect lying in the middle of the flower stamens greedily sucked the nectar, then shook its wings. Just as it was about to take off, a long pink tongue stretched out from the darkness and wiped out its figure.
In the darkness, the lizard's limbs that rolled its eyes were tightly grasped between the branches of the shrub. When it was motionless, it looked like a tree lump.
It opened and closed its mouth and chewed the prey in its mouth. It had a good start. It seemed that there would be a good harvest tonight.
The small lizard moved its legs gently, trying to change places without disturbing any prey or hunters.
laugh--
A big mouth also poked out of the darkness, just like when it swallowed the insect.
It was a snake. It bit the lizard tightly with its wide-open tongue and kiss, and then wrapped its entire body around it, wrapping it tightly.
The harvest is full and there is no need to hunt for the next week.
"Jiji——"
An unknown cry came from a very far away place, and the sound seemed to be several mountains away.
The snake wrapped around its prey stiffened, and the lizard in its mouth also stiffened.
"Jiji——"
A pair of scarlet eyes lit up behind the coiled snake. There was an aura of blood and terror in the eyes, which looked very scary.
"If you want to become a Druid, the first thing you have to do is overcome your instincts."
A murmur that came from nowhere sounded in the head of the owner of the scarlet eyes, and a trace of struggle flashed in its eyes.
Instinct? What is that?
What is a druid?
It shook its head, and the struggling look in its scarlet eyes became even stronger.
Its instinct tells it that as long as it gently buckles its claws, the prey caught by it will no longer struggle. At that time, it only needs to bend down gently and swallow the cold blood.
But its new and immature reason told it that it couldn't and couldn't succumb to instinct.
Pulling-
"Jiji——"
As the sound of flapping wings faded away, the snake, which was so stiff that it was almost a piece of ice, hurriedly spit out the prey into its mouth, hurriedly slipped into the grass, and disappeared after a hissing sound.
"Jiji——"
"Chi chi chi chi——"
Painful and struggling, in the dark mine, a black winged creature flapped its wings and rolled on the ground.
Hunting, it's time to hunt, its instinct is urging it, urging it to find something to eat quickly.
But, for some reason, it developed a desire to fight against its instinct.
Ever since I sucked the blood of a two-legged creature some time ago, I often have some inexplicable hallucinations.
In those scenes, it was taking some kind of class. A tree with its legs pulled out from the ground was saying some incomprehensible words in front of it.
There was also a two-legged creature with pointed ears talking to it in the picture. Although he didn't know what he was talking about specifically, those words kept flowing in his heart.
"If you want to become a Druid, the first thing you have to do is overcome your instincts."
Druid? What is that?
Without its knowledge, a faint force of nature circulated within the body of the winged creature rolling on the ground.
The blood carrying this force of nature has been digested by it, and the rootless force of nature enters its body as the blood is digested and blends into its blood.
"Overcome your instincts!"
“Overcome your instincts!!”
“Overcome your instincts!!!”
The murmurs grew louder and louder, until they sounded like roars and roars in its ears.
"Jiji——"
——————
The night passes and the morning comes.
The next day, the black creature lying in the mine revealed its true appearance.
This is a bat, a very big bat, it may be as long as an elf's arm, with black skin, black wing membranes, white claws and teeth.
It tried hard to turn over its body, but it was so hungry that it was very weak.
It's getting worse and worse, and it will die if it continues like this.
It will die. When this thought appeared in its mind, it felt much calmer. Will it die?
When it was weak, hungry and helpless, the scarlet color in its eyes had faded a little, and there was a different look in its eyes.
It looked like he was thinking.
One day and two days, its body became weaker and weaker.
It hasn't sucked blood for several days. The skill it relies on for survival is sucking blood. Due to the structure of its body, it can only survive by sucking the blood of animals.
After being cut off from food channels, it inevitably lost weight, leaving only skin and bones.
During these days, the wind blew through the mountains, the rain drenched the woodlands, and the thunder struck the sky.
It is so weak that even the blood flow is slowing down.
The natural force flowing in the blood also slowed down.
This big bat has thought a lot and understood a lot. The root of all this lies in the Druid apprentice it sucked.
It also understood the root cause of this situation.
Overcome instinct?
Do we need to overcome the instinct to eat food?
The big bat suddenly seemed to have an enlightenment, feeling that he was about to cry because of his stupidity. After starving for who knows how many days, the bat, which was already so thin that only skin and bones were left, struggled to get up.
He had to find something to eat quickly. If he didn't eat something, he would really die.
Fortunately, he found a prey not far from the mine, a mouse with warm blood and an appetizing delicacy.
Although he is very thin, he still has no problem completing a hunt.
After several struggles, he held a stiff mouse in his mouth and felt his throat heat up, and a stream of warm blood flowed into his throat and into his intestines and stomach.
Come to life.
After sucking the blood of his prey, he tried to stand up, fluttering his wings, exposing the leather ribs on his abdomen.
It was as if he had truly died once, his whole mentality was different, he seemed much gentler, not as extreme as before, overcoming his instincts to the point of nearly starving to death.
The warm liquid flowed so warmly that the energy flowing in his blood seemed a bit fast. Natural energy? No, maybe it should be renamed to blood energy now.
