Westward Journey into Dragon

Chapter 1 Reborn as a Snake
Lying in the water grass by the river, looking at the fish swimming happily in the water, Chen Xian twisted his long, index finger-thick, snow-white snake body covered with fine scales, and slid into the water as quickly as lightning. He took a bite of an inch-long fish, swallowed it and swam back to the shore leisurely.

It has been a while since Chen Xian became a snake from a modern young man who has read Internet novels. If it was before, he would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing, but after being hungry for more than ten days, he had to I am not used to this kind of eating and drinking, and now I am more familiar with it, and everything is just to survive.

After returning to the shore, Chen Xian climbed onto a rock and waded down to enjoy the warm sunbathing.Ever since he became a snake, Chen Xian found that he was becoming more and more lazy. Except for moving twice when hunting for prey, he was always lazy at other times, as if he lacked sleep.

Under the sunlight, his cold body gradually warmed up. Chen Xian stretched comfortably, and just wanted to close his eyes and have a good sleep.However, there are many natural enemies of snakes in nature, Chen Xian didn't want to wake up in the belly of other animals.He braced himself up, looking around vigilantly with his pale red vertical pupils.

Chen Xian is very fortunate that the snake whose body he has taken is no different from ordinary people in terms of vision and hearing. With a pair of sharp fangs and human wisdom, he was able to escape from the tiger's mouth many times and tenaciously survive until now.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the blood flow in his body became faster and faster. In a trance, Chen Xian seemed to hear a "poof", like an egg hitting a rock, and the egg white splashed everywhere.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Xian woke up from the trance, and found that the sun was already in the west, and the small fish that could maintain his nutrition for a week had been completely digested, and his belly was actually hungry.

Chen Xian was a little puzzled, what happened just now, why did he fall asleep, and how did he digest food faster?What's even more strange is that there seems to be something more in my mind.

Chen Xian, who was puzzled, decided not to think about it anymore. The first task now is to fill his stomach, and the rest will be discussed later.

..............................

After eating and drinking, Chen Xian returned to his cave—a cave at the bottom of the cliff covered by thorns and weeds. The entrance of the cave is narrow, semi-elliptical, and slopes upward. Inside is an egg-shaped stone chamber with a diameter of about two meters. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dried grass and dead leaves.

Speaking of this cave, Chen Xian also discovered it by chance.At that time, he was chased by a lynx so that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the earth. He thought he was going to die, but he found a crack on the side of his body. Taking chances, he went in desperately, and found such a treasure land unexpectedly. .

After the lynx left, after three days of continuous hay handling, the cold stone room smelled like a den.

Lying on the hay, recalling the trance feeling just now under the sun, I felt that it was only a moment, but when I woke up, I found that three or four hours had passed.In addition, he also found that there seemed to be something more in his mind, and there seemed to be a voice in the dark saying that this thing was very important, but it was a pity that it was hazy, shrouded in fog, and seemed to be nothing.

Chen Xian speculated that this might have something to do with sunbathing. At that time, the blood flow accelerated and the blood surged upwards. Could it be that after the blood flowed through the brain, the brain was running at a high speed, causing hallucinations?But the things in his mind really exist, and he has an irresistible temptation for himself. The snake's instinct drives him to explore.

"What is it, so evil?" Chen Xian was very puzzled.He was not a curious person, but facing the inexplicable extra things in his mind, he had the idea of ​​finding out, even a little impatient, which made him very confused and a little scared.

It's a pity that although the extra things in my mind can be felt, they can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be played with. No matter how hard I try to sense them, that thing will always be ignored.Even though Chen Xian was very patient, he was upset by this attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation.

After trying again to no avail, Chen Xian had to give up this mentally exhausting exercise.Although the thing didn't kill him, Chen Xian still achieved some results: first, there was indeed something extra in his brain, and it wasn't a momentary illusion; second, the thing wasn't real, at least not a tumor or It is speculated that the stone may be the memory left by the predecessor; third, the thing is wrapped in something, and the underwear cannot be seen without taking off the coat, no, it is the content; fourth, only sunbathing can make it respond.

With these conclusions, Chen Xian stopped doing useless work and spent so much brain power to sense, but he was a little tired, so he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep soon.

For the next few days, Chen Xian would bask in the sun after hunting every day. If there was no disturbance from outside objects, he would be in the sun almost from morning to night. If the scales on his body did not change color, he might be the first snake to turn from a white snake into a sunbath. The black snake is the snake.

Although the blood flow accelerated while sunbathing, Chen Xian no longer felt in a trance, and the things in his mind still remained in a state that could only be sensed.

Under such frequent predation, Chen Xian's body grew by half a foot in just one week, and his waist became thicker. The little snake, the price is to peel off a layer of skin, and the pain is so painful.

After another day of fruitlessness, Chen Xian didn't rush back to the snake's den as usual. He felt that he was no longer the weak little snake he used to be, and he didn't have to be as busy as before. If you want to hide, it will damage your image as a time traveler, and you have to change it.Moreover, snakes are nocturnal animals. It seems that it is not good for me to always be nocturnal. It obviously violates the laws of nature. It is time to exercise my night-time survival ability.

Not long after the sun set, the sky darkened, and Chen Xian suddenly regretted that he didn't hide in the snake's den as usual, and insisted on exercising his ability to survive at night. I don't have night vision goggles, so I'm going to die.

Although Chen Xian can rely on his sense of smell to observe objects like other snakes, it's a pity that the heat map presented in his mind makes him feel dizzy, so it's better not to use it.

The forest at night seems to be noisier than during the day, with all kinds of strange noises emerging one after another, eerie hooting of owls, desolate howling of wolves, desolate wind, rustling of branches and leaves... mixed together, it is very permeating.

Chen Xian has long been immune to these voices, and he has become numb after hearing so much. At this moment, he is staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.

Although Chen Xian knew nothing about astronomy, he could recognize the Big Dipper. Looking at the seven spoon-shaped stars in the sky, Chen Xian guessed that he might still be on the earth, or a parallel time and space similar to the earth, but he didn't know whether he was traveling through time or space. To the past or the future.

Chen Xian was awakened by the sound of a branch snapping. Looking around, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him.Before he had time to think about it, he quickly dodged to the side, dodging dangerously.

"Meow" the black shadow fell to the ground and let out a meow. With the help of the faint starlight, Chen Xian discovered that the one attacking him was a yellow-gray lynx.

Chen Xian slid back a few feet, and after a certain distance from the bobcat, he raised his head and hissed, revealing a pair of slender and sharp fangs, as if attacking.

The bobcat missed a hit, and did not pursue immediately, but kept circling around Chen Xian, as if looking for an opening, a snake and a cat confronted each other like this.
