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 4

Song Xu felt that he looked dull and not very smart as soon as he spoke.

However, when she saw his eyes up close, his vertical pupils that formed slits under the light added a dangerous temperament to him, highlighting the cold sense of distance, making people dare not face him lightly and jokingly.

"I am very small in size, not even big enough to be a snack for you, and squirrels are not delicious." Song Xu carefully diverted the dangerous topic away from herself, "You should usually eat larger animals like deer and wild boars, right?"

Wu Mu was silent again, just resting his head on his arm, looking at her from above, and occasionally spitting out his tongue to explore outside.

Snakes usually spit out their tongues to capture external information. He didn't speak, and spitting out his tongue was probably his characteristic response.

Song Xu found something very cute. The upper lip of this snake-like half-orc was M-shaped, with a slightly raised lip. The upper and lower lips were not completely closed, leaving a little gap, and the tongue poked out from the gap... just like when in snake form, there would be a small gap in the mouth to facilitate the snake's tongue to come out.

Song Xu: Wow, what a cute little gap!

Wumu didn't seem to be very interested in communicating. He soon ignored Song Xu and turned his back to her.

Song Xu regretted that she hadn't said enough. In such a large place, it was hard to find someone to talk to.

Unfortunately, Wumu didn't intend to pay attention to her anymore. Song Xu quietly approached his tail and carefully put her hand on it to pinch it.

This tail was really absurdly thick and scary, and it was bent into a bunch of continuous S-shapes. She roughly estimated that it was at least ten meters long. The thicker part of the tail below the waist felt very different from the tip of the tail.

She only touched it twice, and the snake's tail under her hand rolled up, with muscles undulating under a layer of soft scales. The palm of her hand could clearly feel the movement.

His long snake tail was like a large bundle of rope, rolling and rubbing on the stone. The speed was not fast, but he twisted around and almost occupied this large stone. Song Xu had no place to land and was almost crushed by his swinging tail. He could only jump off the stone to make room for him.

Snakes also need the sun. Song Xu noticed that he was probably enjoying the sunbath in the morning. She thought that a big snake could escape but a hole could not. She should go have breakfast first.

She ate a variety of plants and fruits. She had to eat at least twice a day, otherwise she would be very hungry. In comparison, she envied snakes.

One meal is enough for snakes to digest for several days. Some snakes can eat once every ten days, half a month or even longer. How convenient.

Finding food here is not as easy as shopping in a supermarket in her world. It takes a lot of effort to find food that tastes a little better.

"Song" The dozens of members of the small tribe in the past were busy collecting food every day. They were really busy from morning to night just for food.

Now Song Xu is not as hungry as before, and she will eat anything as long as she can, and she has become picky about food.

This season seems to be between spring and summer, and ripe fruits are scarce. She climbed up the tree trunk, and all she could find were flowers and green fruits that had just swelled up.

It was okay to eat one or two meals like this, but the third meal was unbearable. For someone who comes from a country of gourmet food, eating these every day is simply inhumane.

The tender buds have a green taste when bitten in the mouth, and some are bitter.

There are limited types of food on the tree crown, and occasionally some mushrooms can be found under the tree. They grow at the roots of the tree, which are moist and exude a rotten smell, and their color does not look very safe.

Even with the memories of the original body, Song Xu can only survive by himself in this environment that the original body has never been exposed to.

In addition to the mushrooms that are more well-known to the public, there are more mosses on the ground.

For example, the moss feels smooth when you pinch it, and it grows in large pieces. It tastes a bit disgusting and sticky when you chew it, and it has no taste.

The moss that grows greener, has small leaves but each leaf is very thick. It tastes crisp, but unfortunately the juice is very bitter, and the tongue is a bit numb after tasting it.

Song Xu spat out the saliva in his mouth, suspecting that it is poisonous.

The moss that grows on the tree trunk, is shaped like a coral branch, and is purple-brown in color. It tastes a little spicy. Song Xu ate a piece of it, and then he found that there were more than a dozen ants running around under the moss. Looking closely, this moss seemed to be the door of an ant hole in the tree trunk, and now the entrance of the ant hole has lost a piece of cover.

Song Xu: "I'm sorry, I ate your door."

In addition to these mosses, there are more mosses. They are widely distributed in any place where they can grow. The one under your feet is like a carpet.

Although they grow a lot, they are basically inedible. The darker forests are almost dominated by mosses.

In addition to these two species, there are ferns on the ground. This kind is more friendly to her because she can eat many of the young stems and leaves of ferns!

Their leaves usually grow symmetrically, elegantly stretched, and the newly sprouted buds curl up. That's all they are delicious.

Song Xu slowly chewed the slightly sweet tender fern stems, and in his heart he screamed that he wanted to eat hot pot... At this time, even the food in the cafeteria was filtered through a layer of tempting filters.

After finally finishing her breakfast, Song Xu decided to dig a tree hole for herself. Although

the snake hole was big, she was sure that the snake orc was a male now that she had seen his appearance, and she couldn't keep asking for a share of his house. Unable

to find a ready-made tree hole, Song Xu found a big tree that was relatively close to the boulder and prepared to dig a tree hole on it. She had tried this kind of tree yesterday and found that the bark was tougher and could not be dug with her claws, but the amazing thing about humans is that they can use tools.

The sharp stones hit the tree trunk again and again, and the clattering sound attracted the attention of a large snake basking in the sun nearby.

Wumu saw a squirrel hanging on a tree trunk and knocking the bark with a stone. It was a furry ball with its tail hair standing up and shaking with the movement.

There was a harmless beastman nearby, so Wumu was inevitably curious, but his curiosity was limited. After taking a look, he felt that the sun was shining enough today, so he followed the boulder back to the cave.

Song Xu initially planned to dig a big tree hole, preferably with one room and one living room, after all, the tree was also very big, but as she dug, her requirements naturally lowered.

Song Xu was so tired that she wanted to stick out her tongue and thought, why dig such a big hole, one room is enough.

Then, she looked at the broken stones and her scratched claws, and resolutely decided to dig a tree hole that the beast could squeeze into.

Although her requirements were lowered again and again, it took her several days to dig the tree hole, and that night she couldn't wait to move from the corner of the stone cave to her new home.

She collected thick moss on the ground and placed it in the tree hole, and also covered it with leaves. After dark, she lay in the high tree hole and watched the colorful clouds changing in the distance being chased and swallowed by the night.

The sawdust in the tree hole exudes a fresh woody scent, without the faint fishy smell in the stone hole. Moreover, the tree hole is small, and it was basically filled up after she squeezed in. Then she blocked the hole with moss, branches and leaves, and it was warm, not as drafty as the stone hole.

Song Xu tossed and turned in the narrow tree hole, sleeping on her back, rolling in spirals, and accidentally stretched out her claws to dig up a lot of sawdust.

After all, she is an orc, and her claws are sharper than those of ordinary squirrels, which played a big role in digging tree holes.

Young people feel a lot, and Song Xu is the type of person who sleeps relatively deeply. But no matter how deep she sleeps, she will be woken up if something knocks on the door outside in the middle of the night.

Song Xu groaned and looked out of the tree hole. She was startled by a pair of bright eyes at the hole. It was a woodpecker knocking on the tree trunk in the middle of the night... Maybe, it was too dark and Song Xu couldn't see clearly, she only saw the eyes.

The bird pecking at the tree trunk was also startled by her, flapping its wings and flying away quickly. Song Xu scolded its back: "Do you have any sense of morality? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night!"

A few bird calls came from the woods. There was no moon tonight. The trees outside were in strange shapes and the forest was misty. Song Xu shrank back in dismay and continued to sleep.

Apart from the unexpected guests who visited at night, Song Xu was still satisfied with her new home. In order to make her live more comfortably, she made improvements on the existing basis.

The soft moss will definitely be more fluffy after being exposed to the sun, and the next step is to make a door.

Song Xu looked at the pink morning glow, full of enthusiasm to build a home!

Then in the middle of the night, heavy rain poured into her tree hole, accumulating a shallow pool of water in her tree hole, and wetting her moss bed that had just been exposed to the sun.

From time to time, the gloomy sky outside was streaked with cracks and lightning that could illuminate the sky, and the thunder that seemed to crack the earth made the tall trees in the forest tremble together.

Song Xu curled up in the tree hole, covering her ears tightly. From childhood to adulthood, Song Xu was seldom afraid of anything, but she was very afraid of thunder.

There was a sound of trees breaking nearby, and the branches were broken by the heavy rain and strong wind. Song Xu listened to the noise outside, and her whole body was shaking like a motor.

She realized that it was not safe to stay in such a high tree hole on a thunderstorm. After another wave of thunder ended, she climbed out of the tree hole tremblingly in the rain and fled to the stone mountain that was stable and peaceful in the lightning and thunder.

Running into the dry cave, Song Xu's fur had become wet. She didn't care about her ferocious appearance, and ran to the corner of the cave, jumped into the middle of the snake tails, and covered herself with the snake tails.

She was so scared that she didn't care about anything else and just wanted to find a safe place to hide.

Wumu was awakened by the slightest movement. His pupils dilated in the darkness, and he could see everything in the darkness clearly. He saw a wet squirrel tail hanging on his tail.

The long tail with patterns spread out, revealing a squirrel underneath, covering its ears and shivering. The squirrel found that the barrier had disappeared, and without raising his head, he moved under his unmoved snake tail and hid himself again.
