Song Xu squatted there, pulling at the grass with her hands, and had been motionless for quite a while.
She was observing a snake, not an ebony, but an ordinary wild spotted snake, with a pointed head, black and white spots, and about two meters long.
This was not the first time Song Xu had seen a snake in this area. Every time she would observe from a distance, and only when the snake was startled and swam away would she clap her hands and leave with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
As a reptile and snake lover, she certainly thought snakes were cute, but untamed wild venomous snakes were not as good as domesticated non-venomous or slightly venomous pet snakes, nor were they as good as snake beasts with rational intelligence and communication. Once they got too close and were mistakenly considered a threat, they would be attacked.
In order to ensure the safety of both parties, it was better for them to keep this distance and watch.
After seeing the snakes outside, Song Xu decided to go back and get close to the beautiful big snake at home. Although it was a pity that the little cuties outside could not be touched, the ones at home could be touched!
The big snake at home was a TOP-level snake that made her lose her mind and forget the danger at first sight. Although she dared to touch it again and again at that time, it was mainly because she felt that he was like a beast and had no aggression towards her, so she dared to be presumptuous.
"Hehe, Wumu."
"Hiss."
As long as the snake's tail is not exposed to the sun, it is cool, smooth and soft in summer. Song Xu didn't want to take it up after putting her hand on it. As she touched it, she lay on it... like a squirrel, because this way she could roll over and over a larger area.
The squirrel's fur is really hot in the summer, and Song Xu loves to move around, so she often goes outside for a run and gets all sweaty. At this time, the snake's tail can cool down like a bamboo mat, so she spreads her limbs and sticks to the snake's tail. After a while, when she warms up there, she rolls over and changes her sleeping position, and the temperature is always comfortable.
The only bad thing is that the snake will move while sleeping, so she will roll off the snake's tail if she is not careful, and often crawls back to the "bed" in the middle of the night, rubbing her eyes in a daze.
Most snakes hibernate when the temperature is low, but they don't like the temperature to be too high either. When the temperature outside is too high, Wumu is not very willing to go out. He prefers to stay in the cool place of the cave for a long time, and the time he is willing to go out of the cave is concentrated in the slightly cool early morning and evening.
Going out for a swim at night and climbing high up in the treetops to watch the moon and enjoy the cool air were habits Song Xu had brought him.
The weather finally got a little cooler, and Sheshe's activities resumed frequently, but before that, he shed his skin again.
This time, the skinning was different from the last time. The last time, the two had just met, and Song Xu had a tentative contact, and Sheshe treated her as a human branch. Now, the two were "partners", and Song Xu naturally accompanied Sheshe closely, and watched the process of his skinning carefully from the beginning.
Remembering the difficulty of skinning the snake last time, Song Xu made various preparations this time, including warm water and wet moss. She also rolled back a large stone with a rough surface for the snake to rub its skin against. The stone wall in the cave had become smooth after being rubbed by the snake so many times, and it was not very useful.
This time the skinning was smoother than the last time, and the time was also shorter, but Wumu still looked a little painful and irritable, and the snake's tail kept slapping the ground, looking fierce.
After he started skinning, he was no longer in half-orc form. The ferocious big snake head was raised, and the snake's tongue was trembling, making a numbing air vibration sound.
The big rock that Song Xu pushed back was slowly tightened by the snake's tail. He was too strong, and maybe the stone was a bit brittle, so he directly broke it. The crackling sound of the stone breaking was also tooth-grinding. Song Xu tried to push the stone that had broken into two halves and became a nuisance out of the cave, but his foot was entangled by the snake's tail.
"This stone is cracked and useless. Do I still want to put it in the cave?" Song Xu asked, unable to lift one foot.
The big snake raised its head and nodded its head humanely.
"Okay, leave it there if you like." Song Xu sat down and patted his thigh, "Look, knee pillow, come and lie down!"
The big snake rested its head on the moss, and rubbed its tail on the straw mat that was about to fall apart. It just looked at her and didn't go over.
Song Xu waited for a while, took the initiative to go over, and pressed his big head hard on her leg to caress it.
"Okay, okay, it will be done soon, don't worry, it's just like giving birth, you can't rush it."
The snake rubbed her knees with a small kiss.
"Does your mouth itch? Shall we start?" Song Xu asked, flicking the snake's chin with one hand.
Wu Mu's eyes were fixed on her, although he couldn't see clearly at this moment, but he still stared at the blurry figure. She was very patient, bending over to talk to him, not teasing him on purpose like usual, not jumping around and making noises.
His head climbed up her arm to her shoulder, the heavy snake body made Song Xu a little tired, Wu Mu slowly circled her, from her back to the other arm, and swam down again.
Song Xu, who was bent over by the pressure, couldn't help but sighed, "Snake, Fatty!"
The new snake skin split from the snout, but Wumu didn't find a place to hang the snake skin, and still entangled Song Xu. Song Xu watched him rubbing hard under the heavy love, and couldn't help it again, and reached out to press his snake skin: "Come, I'll press it for you, and you take it off slowly."
Although he couldn't skin Snake, he could still act as a big stone to hang the snake skin.
Last time he skinned, he crawled and twisted all over the stone cave. This time he had to cling to her the whole time and swam beside her. Song Xu couldn't leave even a step.
Wumu took a break, and Song Xu joked with him, "I am your favorite branch now, right? You just grab me and curl around."
She felt that her legs were going to be numbed by Sheshe's pressure, and she didn't need to help pull the corner of the skin later. She saw that there was still some loose skin on Wumu's body, and wanted to get warm water to wipe the bubbles on him. As soon as she stood up, she tripped and fell on the straw mat. Her lower back was pressed by Sheshe's big head, and she couldn't get up.
After moving her limbs in vain for a while, she fell asleep in this position. Staying up late to accompany Sheshe to play with skin was very tiring.
After waking up, she found that the head of Snake, which was on her back before going to bed, was pressed under her belly. Sheshe hid his head under her body after shedding his skin, and didn't move at all.
"Okay, another new snake." Song Xu observed the snake's body, "There's still a little bit of floating skin. Let's go and soak in the water."
The river was not as turbulent as before, and the water surface was much calmer.
Song Xu, who had evolved into a little white shark in the waves, got on the snake's body and went into the water with ease, swimming beside the big snake. He was soaking in the water, his gills slightly bulging, and he was still drinking water. Song Xu
sank down and stuck to his abdomen, watching closely the bulging gills and swallowing movements when he drank water, put his hand on it to feel the movement of the throat, and touched the small W-shaped gap on the snake's snout.
Wumu was disturbed by her and could not concentrate on drinking water. He stopped and used his head to push her to the surface of the water.
"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore. Just drink." Song Xu smiled and grabbed a handful of soft water plants and rubbed them all over his body carefully.
The old snake had long become dry and brittle. Song Xu had been without a raincoat for a while, but now he had a new one. Wumu found that her snake had been put away and worn by Song Xu just like last time. Shemu accepted it calmly without any hesitation. If she wanted his snake, then all his snakes would be hers. Once
again, she found that Sheshe had squeezed into her grass nest to sleep, causing the nest that she had been expanding and filling to be on the verge of collapse. Song Xu sighed, "You've been so clingy lately."
A few days ago, she suddenly wanted to sleep in her empty tree hole, and Sheshe followed her out. Her tree hole was too small to accommodate a snake as big as him, so he wrapped his body around the tree and squeezed his head into the tree hole.
Although he was being clingy in his actions, you couldn't tell from his expression in orc form, as his expression was as cold as his body temperature.
Occasionally he would stare at her with such a cold expression that one would suspect he was angry and wanted her to stay away...if it weren't for the tip of his tail still firmly hooked around her.
As the fruit trees that Song Xu had marked in the summer began to ripen one after another, Song Xu entered the busy harvest season and didn't care about Wu Mu's recent clingy behavior.
This season is probably the favorite season for all animals in the forest. There is plenty of food and no one gets hungry easily, but at the same time, the competition is fierce. If the fruits that are about to ripen are not picked as soon as possible, the fruits that are not fully ripe will be pecked in mid-air by the first batch of birds the next day.
The same tree with fruits will welcome several groups of customers, such as birds, squirrels, and monkeys, at the same time, just like a supermarket during a big sale, full of people rushing to buy.
In order to welcome this harvest season, Song Xu has prepared several storage cabinets in advance, all made of wood. The ebony cave that she temporarily requisitioned has been cleaned and returned to him, but ebony is rarely used again. He now favors her luxurious grass nest.
Batches of sweet and sour fruits are put into the storage cabinet, but unfortunately the fruits cannot be stored for too long and still need to be eaten early.
The fruits on the branches began to ripen in large quantities. The flying and climbing creatures could not eat them all. Many ripe fruits fell from the branches and landed on the ground, providing benefits to the small animals living on the ground.
Song Xu, whose taste had changed due to her physical condition, liked the cores more than the flesh. Every day, she went out happily to pick up the cores from under various trees with a bag made of real snake skin.
She no longer wandered by the river. The grass stems in this season were old and no longer delicious. The cores of various fruits were more fragrant.
In the woods at the door of the house, a large piece of fruit would fall every day. The faint sour and fruity smell of the rotting and fermenting fruit could often be smelled in the stone cave.
The hoarding habit of squirrels is fully displayed in this season, and the cave of snakes is getting more and more crowded every day.
Song Xu eats a lot every day, which is not very obvious when he is in beastman form, but when he turns into a squirrel, he can find that he has gained a lot of weight, his cheeks and belly are bulging, and the hair on his body is thicker.
Even the cohabiting snake seems to have become fatter.
