Raising A Big Snake In Ancient Times

Song Xu unexpectedly became a squirrel beastman in an ancient jungle. Her small tribe was conquered and merged with a fierce beast tribe, and Song Xu escaped alone into a dark forest. A snake half-...

Chapter 2

The lion's aggressive stench alarmed the owner of this territory.

No matter why the lion came, stepping into this forest meant that a battle of aggression and counterattack was about to begin, but when one side gave in, the battle disappeared.

The thick snake tail that was coiled on the tree and was mistaken by the fleeing Song Xu as a vine slowly swam.

Song Xu hid behind a tree trunk in the distance and peeked out. From a distance, he saw the lion running away with its tail tucked in, and also saw half of the snake's tail coiled on the tree.

The dim light in the forest could only outline the outline of his long tail. Song Xu could not see what the snake looked like, but he felt that it was very long.

Song Xu grabbed the tree trunk and said, "Snake! A wild snake! Such a big snake!"

After driving away the intruder, Wumu left here and prepared to go for food. He rarely left the cave where he lived, and he basically came out to eat, and this time was no exception.

The approach of a strong male beastman would attract his attention and alertness, but Wumu did not drive away another "guest" who also slipped into his territory.

He had already caught the scent of female beastmen in the air, and the weak squirrel beastmen were harmless to him, so he didn't care.

After quickly finding a suitable prey to eat, Wumu returned to his cave with his bulging tail to rest.

In the first two years, he would patrol his territory after eating and pass the time by amusing himself, but in the past two years, his bestiality has become more and more serious, and he has almost become a complete beast, and his life has become dull and chaotic.

He almost forgot that he was once an orc in the tribe.

In this world, there live orcs who can change between human and beast forms, as well as ordinary beasts. Half-orcs are the "disabilities" among orcs.

Young orcs cannot control their changes and often appear to be half human and half beast, but as they grow up and their body strength gradually increases, they can freely control the changes in their forms.

When they reach adulthood, they are still unable to get rid of some of their beastly nature for various reasons. The beastmen who have completely transformed into human form are called half-orcs. They will be expelled from the tribe as defective products.

After being expelled, half-orcs leave their relatives and companions and wander alone in the forest. Their strength will be gradually eroded and disappear, and they will get closer and closer to beasts. Finally, they will completely lose their rationality and become real beasts.

Wu Mu is in this extremely dangerous period.

Song Xu, who has been protected by the owner of this place invisibly, temporarily stays in this forest.

Song Xu: Anyway, I don’t know where to go, and the snakes didn’t come to chase me away.

Song Xu ate whatever she could find, including tender leaves and flowers, mushrooms and wild fruits. She finally filled her stomach, which was almost as big as an A4 sheet of paper, and avoided the fate of starving to death.

Fortunately, she was originally a squirrel beastman with a diverse diet and could eat almost anything. If she had accidentally become a beast that could only eat meat, she would have to consider how to hunt. It would have been too difficult for her, an ordinary senior high school student.

After resolving the threat to her life, Song Xu became curious about the surrounding environment. This was a primeval forest. She had been to the park before, but this was the first time she had seen such a forest.

Looking around, there were only straight tree trunks covered with green mosses, with branches and leaves growing more than ten meters high. The sunlight above was blocked by the thick tree canopy, and it was not very bright even in broad daylight.

The light was dim in the distance, and the tree trunks turned into ghostly shadows in the gray mist.

There was no one around except herself, but there were all kinds of weird sounds, insects and birds chirping and murmuring, coming from above her head or under her feet, from all kinds of places she couldn't see or find, which deeply highlighted the gloom of this environment.

The environment can be gloomy, but it can't be gloomy. She was a little scared.

Song Xu: "...We are the successors of communism..." Her voice was faint and trembling in the woods.

Song Xu shut her mouth. No, she had to bask in the sun to get rid of the cold.

Transforming into a squirrel, Song Xu climbed to the high treetops to bask in the sun and find the way.

The upper treetops and the bottom of the tree are two different worlds. There is plenty of sunshine up there, which is refreshing. The green is endless. After climbing to the height of the long branches, she found that many trees are blooming and there are more birds.

Song Xu held the tree trunk tightly with her claws to prevent herself from falling. Seeing the bird next to her sucking nectar with its long and pointed mouth, she thought it seemed to be eating very deliciously, so she followed suit.

It tastes sweet and sour, not bad.

Young people's attention is quickly diverted. She immediately forgot that she was still freaking out down there, and tried to move on the treetops.

The squirrel's claws are really useful. Its body is light and agile, so it won't twist its waist no matter what movement it makes.

She didn't know if she could go back, so she thought she had to find a place to rest, preferably one that could get some sun.

In this dense forest, places that can get some sun are rare. Song Xu searched and, with good luck, found an area with sparse treetops.

Song Xu: As expected of me, I can open three golden legends in ten draws!

She excitedly rushed to the location she had chosen, and discovered that the reason why the treetops were sparse there was that there were several huge rocks protruding from the ground, which prevented large trees from growing on the ground, leaving such a "land" for trapping in the dense forest.

Yes, this place is great, and it would be even better if there was a place inside the rocks that could shelter from the wind and rain.

Song Xu got down from the tree and prepared to explore the temporary residence she had chosen. Her steps were brisk, and she suddenly felt like she was playing an exploration survival game.

After walking half a circle around the huge rocks, Song Xu indeed found a cave entrance. It was a gap left by several huge rocks stacked and intertwined, in the shape of a triangle, or a blunt triangle, with the highest point being about two meters high.

Song Xu stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside. She was stunned after just two glances.

One meter away from the entrance of the cave, there was a snake's tail tip. The sunlight just hit the tip of the tail obliquely. Following the dark red tail tip, you can see the long snake tail extending deep into the cave.

It turned out that this was the house of the big snake. Sure enough, all the good places have been occupied!

Song Xu stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the tail tip very close to her, without moving.

Generally speaking, seeing this tail tip that represents a big snake and danger will scare people away and turn around and run away, but... Song Xu is a reptile lover, especially snakes.

She stood out among her peers with her special hobby. While the students in front and behind her were talking about celebrity posters and novels, she also held up various snake-raising videos and tried to recommend them to others, which resulted in countless screams and disgust.

She once wanted to raise a snake at home, but was strongly opposed by her father's second marriage partner, Aunt Qian. Her father angrily said that she was not allowed to do anything weird, and finally nothing happened.

As a student who is still in school and cannot be independent from the family, she can only become a virtual snake enthusiast who raises snakes on the Internet.

It is not the first time that Song Xu has seen a snake, but this is the first time she has seen such a big snake in person.

The enthusiast who often drools at the sight of other people's snakes on the video looks at the tip of the snake's tail that is within reach and is eager to touch it.

Song Xu: Hiss, this tail tip is so beautiful.

This color, this gloss, it must feel good.

She slowly squatted down and approached the tip of the tail. Snakes are probably the kind of creatures that use "danger" to express beauty. The more dangerous they are, the more beautiful they are, and the more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are. Song Xu knew the danger in his heart, but he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.

Otherwise, how could there be a phrase like "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger"? Taking risks is simply the nature of young people.

Song Xu's hand touched the tip of the tail and touched it gently.

It felt very strange, smooth and soft, tougher than silk and softer than leather.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, and they will change with the temperature of the environment. This tip of the tail is exposed to the sun, but it doesn't feel cold. At this moment, Song Xu understood the feelings of those literati who described the skin of beauties as "ice-like skin and jade-like bones" and "skin as smooth as cream". She also wanted to praise the feel of this skin.

She put her hand on it and didn't want to take it up. She touched it again and again in ecstasy, and the tip of the tail under her hand suddenly moved. It didn't move much, it just shrank inwards, as if it was disturbed and moved away subconsciously.

Song Xu was so fascinated by it that she chased forward two steps without thinking, and continued to reach out to touch it.

After a few touches, the tip of the snake's tail shrank inwards again. She chased it into the cave for more than ten steps, and was blown by a cool breeze. Song Xu suddenly realized that she had walked into the cave unknowingly.

Thinking about her behavior just now, Song Xu felt like a pervert who touched someone's feet while they were sleeping and even sighed in admiration.

No, how can a hobby be called perverted! Is it a pervert for a cat owner to pinch the cat's testicles? This is love!

The cave was not particularly dark, but dry and cool. The cave was ventilated, and you could see the exit on the other side from here. There were also some cracks in the rocks that let light in.

The entire cave seemed to be a triangle. Most of the snake's body was in the darkest corner, and it was not clear. Only its tail was at her feet.

Song Xu, like a thief, gently lifted the tip of the tail and kneaded it. This action probably finally made the snake a little impatient, and the tip of the tail slipped from her hand and shrank back into the darkness.

Oh no, is he angry and going to bite me? Song Xu retracted his claws alertly, covered his pounding heart and exited the cave.

Song Xu held on to the stone wall: How exciting!

When he found that an orc had entered his cave, in the dark corner where he couldn't see clearly, Wumu raised his upper body and spit out snake tongue, capturing Song Xu's scent information.

The smell of this female orc reminded him of some things when he was a child in the tribe. In the end, he still didn't move and returned to his original place.

The main reason was that the opponent was too weak, and there was no way to alert the snake-like orc who was digesting food.
