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 57

The squirrel swung her fluffy tail, and she hugged the top of the mast tightly, staring at the shadow below. Judging from the shape, it didn't look like a fish, and the breath didn't sound like a beast. Instead, it was somewhat similar to the primitive beasts on the shore.

Wumu had already dived underwater, but his shadow was mostly mixed with the shadow of that thing, and it was not very clear.

It was already evening, and the visibility in the sea was not high. Song Xu couldn't see what was happening on the battlefield below on the bumpy mast.

The big tiger on the boat was particularly anxious. She stepped on the side of the boat, as if she wanted to get off, but hesitated when her claws got wet.

Even if she was very powerful on the shore, the king of beasts who could punch a five-meter primitive beast and kick a twenty-meter snake, she would be like a tiger trapped in a cage in the middle of the ocean.

Song Xu could only tell from the swaying of the boat that the battle below was fierce. If there hadn't been a huge tiger with an overweight body stabilizing the boat, the boat would have capsized in the waves stirred up by that thing.

The tiger took two steps on the narrow boat, looked up and called out to the squirrel, urging her to come down. The squirrel, who had been taken away from her care, slipped down, ran to the side of the boat, and stuck her head into the water.

——She was the kind of person who would look back to see clearly even if she encountered an explosion.

With her head under the water, she could see more clearly. Song Xu endured the slight stinging and sourness in his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a body covered with dark green scales. It was not ebony, but that big guy.

Its body was so sturdy that it didn't look like a fish. Instead, it looked more like a... crocodile or a lizard. However, it is different from the lizard crocodile on the shore. There are many changes in its body.

It has gills for breathing in the water, and its nose and mouth have degenerated. Its limbs have also degenerated into short ones. If you don't look carefully, you might think they are fish fins. Only the tail can let people know what its original body might be.

The giant beast has shells growing above its cloudy eyes, almost covering its eyes, and its body is covered with many vines, which makes it look even uglier and weirder.

It has a big mouth like a crocodile, and Wu Mu's tail is stuck in its mouth. Wu Mu's body is not as big as this giant beast, but he is very long. With his tail stuck in the giant's mouth, he can also wrap around the neck and part of its body.

Snake hunting is different from tiger hunting. Most of the time, it doesn't look bloody. Instead, it feels slow and peaceful. Entanglement and strangulation, the gradually increasing force will cause the captured prey to slowly suffocate, or the body will be squeezed inside.

The big guy was obviously uncomfortable with the snake's entanglement. He moved his short degenerate limbs and rolled in the sea, trying to use this method to get rid of the entanglement of the big snake.

It is quite cunning. The shells and vines on its body restrict its movement and make it slow. When facing the enemy's attack, it becomes its armor.

As it turned and rubbed, the sharp shell vines cut into the snake's body, leaving wounds. At the same time, it increased its bite force, and its teeth sank deeper into the snake's tail.

Song Xu had seen the battle between Wumu and normal-sized crocodiles. Compared with the one-on-three battle that time when it was unscathed, the snake was now in a tough fight. But the harder the big guy bit, the tighter he clung to it, and he didn't let go of it at all because of the pain.

Song Xu was anxious and wanted to yell, but she opened her mouth and gulped down a mouthful of salty sea water.

She pulled out her wet head and hammered the boat angrily: "Block his gills! Block his gills!" She roared at the sea.

That thing was obviously not a local species. She guessed that it was probably a beastman in the past. Like the tiger mother, it ate too much primitive beasts on the coast and became bigger and bigger, losing its mind. Because it tried to go out to sea and stayed in the sea for too long, it eventually evolved gills and became a strange marine creature.

The evolution of species is generally very slow, but this place seems to be very special, which accelerated the changes in the beastman's body. Song Xu felt that the huge beast that was transformed under such circumstances had a strong and terrifying side, but it must also have weaknesses. Since it has evolved gills, it means that it relies on gills to breathe in the water, so there is nothing wrong with destroying this place.

It took less than a minute from the time the squirrel jumped off the mast, rushed over and buried his head in the sea water to the time he lifted it up, and the situation in the sea changed again.

The guys who had bitten their teeth deep into the snake's body gradually lost their strength and were forced to open their mouths wide, with sea water rushing into their mouths. Even though there was a valve in the throat to prevent water from entering, it was still a painful thing for the degenerated squirrel. Moreover, the big snake twisted its body and tightly blocked his gills.

In the entanglement, the big snake took it deeper into the seabed, and the sea surface gradually became calm.

This calmness made the big tiger unable to calm down. She remembered this strange thing. After seeing it, the new and old hatreds drove the vengeful tiger to remember something.

In her several attempts to cross the sea, this thing knocked her boat over twice. It was cunning and vicious. Whenever it felt that there were beastmen passing through this sea area, it would attack the other party. If she was not so fierce, she would have almost become its food.

If it was on the shore, the big tiger was not afraid of this thing at all. She had killed primitive beasts that were several times larger than her. But in the sea, she was extremely fierce every time she faced it. Although she did not die in the mouth of this thing, she was almost drowned in the sea.

"Roar!" The tiger roared and jumped into the sea.

She couldn't watch that ugly thing drag her cub to the depths of the ocean.

"Wait!" Song Xu watched them jump into the water one by one, and was also anxious. She touched the tool she had prepared, a rope made of vines, and quickly tied it to the big tiger's paw, and quickly reminded, "Mom, use this to entangle that guy!"

In addition, if it sank in the water, it might be possible to pull it up with the boat. She didn't react because the snake went down too quickly just now.

The big tiger resolutely entered the ocean, and against habit, forced himself to dive into the water with his head. After all, tigers are not animals that can live in water. Even if they can swim, most of them are used to exposing their heads to breathe. They are not good at diving.

The big tiger had a determined look on his face, and the little squirrel had a sad look on his face, but the battle between the sea snake and the monster was not as pessimistic as they thought. Now, the big snake had the upper hand.

As a highly venomous snake, Wu Mu's ability was not only to strangle with great strength, but also to be poisonous. But usually, the battle was over without him having to use poison.

This time, he strangled the creature so hard that its belly bulged, and his sharp fangs pierced its abdomen. Only one drop of his venom was enough to kill a large buffalo, but even such a giant gradually lost the strength to fight as his venom was injected and spread.

The giant crocodile and the snake entangled together looked like monsters in the dark blue water. They slowly fell down, and small white plankton like snowflakes scattered around them. Blood was drifting out of their bodies like smoke.

Although it was no longer moving, the snake still did not let it go, in order to prevent it from attacking before death.

Then, he heard the movement above, a tiger went into the sea.

Finally, the snake let go of the stiff monster and swam upwards. There was still red blood mist like smoke drifting around his body as he swam upstream.

The tiger hadn't even gone three meters into the water when the snake below pushed him up with its head.

With a bang, the tiger, who had just entered the water, lay down on the side of the boat, almost tipping the boat over. The squirrel on the boat accidentally rolled down the capsized boat into the sea and hit the newly exposed head of Wumu. The

squirrel sat up, stepped on Wumu's newly wet hair, lowered his head to look at his pupils, which had become thin vertical lines due to the fierce battle, and happily hugged his head and kissed him several times on the forehead.

"Great! You're okay!"

"Snake, you're really great! Oh my god, how can you be so powerful! So cool!"

"How did you beat such a big thing? Did you use poison? You're so poisonous! Venomous snakes are really the best!"

"Wuwuwu, I thought I was going to die this time, luckily I didn't, otherwise I could only 'You Jump, I Jump'!"

The big snake's head was rubbed to be frizzy after being warmly welcomed by the squirrel, and suddenly it was splashed by a burst of water. It was the big tiger that had climbed onto the boat and was shaking its hair.

This movement was like a sprinkler passing by, and the excited mouse was cooled down by the water.

She jumped off the big snake's head and waved to him: "Come up quickly and see if you are injured."

The big snake swam to the boat as he said and coiled around the edge.

Song Xu looked at the wounds on his body and screamed even louder than before: "Oh my God! They're all cut! My beautiful scales! The pattern is not even! The wound is so deep, even if I peel it off next time, it will definitely leave a mark!"

The squirrel cried and treated the wounds on the snake with a worried look on her face. Speaking of this, we have to thank the squirrel for her thorough preparation. In addition to food, water and tools, she also brought medicine.

The leaves of that grass can stop bleeding and disinfect. She would use the leaves of this plant when she was accidentally cut by the sharp edge of a shell while cooking, or when she was accidentally stabbed by a bone knife while making a big boat.

When the tiger brought back this kind of leaves at first, Song Xu mistakenly thought they were for her to eat, so she ate two handfuls. Later, the tiger went to pick some more and slapped the leaves on the snake's body. Because the snake had some ulcerated wounds due to frequent soaking in the sea water, Song Xu understood the use of this grass leaf.

After the snake got used to the sea water and no longer had ulcerated wounds, this kind of leaves became the one Song Xu used more often.

However, she picked a lot of this kind of leaves to bring on the boat, mainly for eating. This leaf is a bit bitter, but it refreshes the breath when chewed in the mouth, and it is also good for cleaning teeth.

Now all the stock is used by Wumu.

"Just stay on the boat, don't go into the water." Song Xu warned.

If there is the right wind direction, they will hang the sail, and if not, they will stop and rest.

Looking back from this position, the coastline becomes a line, and the island is blurred. It is a distance that makes you feel uncertain if you move forward, and unwilling if you move back.

"Was that also a beastman? He appeared here, and he also wanted to go to the island? What is there on the island?" Song Xu lay beside Sheshe's head, holding his chin and talking to himself.

"I don't know either." A rough female voice answered.
